Section 2.03. Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Buyer shall only assume and agree to pay, perform and discharge the Liabilities of Seller set forth on Schedule 2.03 (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”), and no other Liabilities.

(a) Seller and Buyer agree that effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer shall, pay the GLOC Loan Balance directly to the lender under the GLOC Loan (the “GLOC Loan Payoff”); provided, however, that the difference between the amount paid by Buyer to effectuate the GLOC Loan Payoff and the actual amount of cash conveyed and delivered to Buyer through the acquisition of the Purchased Assets (the “Closing Cash Amount”) shall be deemed, and included in the calculation of, Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances for purposes of Section 2.03(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Closing Cash Amount is less than the Closing Cash Target (a “Closing Cash Deficiency”), Buyer shall have no obligation to effectuate a GLOC Loan Payoff, and Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith with respect to Buyer’s recoupment of a Closing Cash Deficiency before Buyer is responsible for the GLOC Loan Payoff.

(b) Seller and Buyer agree that effective as of the Closing Date, and for the 12-month period thereafter, Buyer shall advance to Seller an amount equal to pay the monthly principal and interest payments due under the ICON Debt Service, which Seller will promptly pay over to the respective lenders of the ICON Debt Service (the “ICON Lenders”) and provide proof of payment thereof to Buyer.

(c) Seller and Buyer agree that effective as of the Closing Date, and for the 12-month period thereafter, Buyer shall, at Buyer’s option, either (i) advance to Seller an amount equal to pay the monthly principal and interest payments due under the BTH Credit Line, which Seller will promptly pay over to the lender under the BTH Credit Line (the “BTH Lender”); or (ii) pay the monthly principal and interest payments due under the BTH Credit Line directly to the BTH Lender on account of the Seller. If, after the expiration of such 12-month period, Seller has not fully satisfied the outstanding principal and interest due under the BTH Credit Line and caused the BTH Lender to release and terminate any Encumbrances on the Purchased Assets arising out of the BTH Credit Line (a “BTH Credit Line Payoff”), Buyer may pay the outstanding principal and interest due under the BTH Credit Line and any such amounts paid by Buyer will be deemed, and included in the calculation of, Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances for purposes of Section 2.03(d).

(d) The aggregate monthly advances by Buyer with respect to the ICON Debt Service and the BTH Credit Line during the 12-month period set forth in Sections 2.03(b) and (c) above, shall not exceed $345,000. The aggregate sums advanced or otherwise expended by Buyer in accordance with Sections 2.03(a), (b) and (c) above, including, but not limited to, a GLOC Loan Payoff, the ICON Debt Service, monthly payments of the BTH Credit Line and a BTH Credit Line Payoff (the “Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances”) shall be withheld and deposited into the Indebtedness Escrow Fund and deducted from the consideration due to Seller, if any, under the First Earn Out Payment and Second Earn Out Payment (if necessary) and Third Earn Out Payment (if necessary) as set forth in Sections 2.06(a), (b) and (c) below. To the extent Buyer’s rights to withhold and deduct from the Earn Out Payments are insufficient to enable Buyer to recoup the Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances, any such deficiency will be satisfied: (i) from the Indebtedness Escrow Fund; and (ii) if the deficiency amount exceeds the amount in the Indebtedness Escrow Fund, from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund and, if necessary, the Indemnification Escrow Fund. To the extent Buyer’s rights to withhold and deduct from the Earn Out Payments, Buyer’s rights to the Indebtedness Escrow Fund and Buyer’s rights to the Purchase Price Escrow Fund and Indemnification Escrow Fund under this Section 2.03(d) are insufficient to enable Buyer to recoup the Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances, then Buyer (or SG Blocks) may prepare and file and record a mortgage (the “Buyer’s Mortgage”) against the Owned Real Property securing the amount of such deficiency as of the effective date of the filing of the Buyer’s Mortgage. Seller covenants that as long as the Buyer’s Mortgage is in effect, Seller (or an Affiliate), shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, assign, convey, lease, license or grant or permit any Encumbrance that relates to the Owned Real Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03 of the Disclosure Schedules, Buyer’s willingness to make or incur the Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances shall not be construed as an assumption of any liability or indebtedness of Seller, including but not limited to the GLOC Loan, the ICON Debt Service or the BTH Credit Line, which shall not be deemed Assumed Liabilities hereunder, and no lender or creditor of Seller shall be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder.

Section 2.04. Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03 or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not assume and shall not be responsible to pay, perform or discharge any Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates of any kind or nature whatsoever other than the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). Seller shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, pay and satisfy in due course all Excluded Liabilities which they are obligated to pay and satisfy and indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates (and their respective officers and directors) harmless from and against, any liability (actual or contingent) relating to the Excluded Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Excluded Liabilities shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

(m) any Liabilities of the Business relating to or arising from unfulfilled commitments, quotations, purchase orders, customer orders or work orders that (i) do not constitute part of the Purchased Assets issued by the Business’ customers to Seller on or before the Closing; (ii) did not arise in the ordinary course of business; or (iii) are not validly and effectively assigned to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement;

(n) any Liabilities to indemnify, reimburse or advance amounts to any present or former officer, director, employee or agent of Seller (including with respect to any breach of fiduciary obligations by same), except for indemnification of same pursuant to Section 8.03 as Seller Indemnitees;

Section 2.06. Earn-Out Payments. In addition to the Purchase Price, Seller shall be entitled to the following “Earn Out Payments” based upon the actual Net Income of the Business during the 3-month period beginning on the first day of the first full month that is 3 months after the Closing Date (the “First Earn Out Period”), the 3-month period following the First Earn Out Period (the “Second Earn Out Period”) and the 3-month period following the Second Earn Out Period (the “Third Earn Out Period”).

To the extent any portion of the First Earn Out Payment cannot be paid in Earn Out Shares, such portion of the First Earn Out Payment shall be paid in cash.

(b) Second Earn Out Period. Buyer will pay Seller an amount equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Income actually received by Buyer from the Business during the Second Earn Out Period (the “Second Earn Out Payment”), fifty (50%) percent in cash and, subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval by the stockholders of Buyer of the proposed issuance as may be required in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, fifty (50%) percent in Earn Out Shares, on or before the date thirty (30) days from the end of the Second Earn Out Period; provided, however, that 100% of the Second Earn Out Payment will be paid into and held in the Indebtedness Escrow until the total amount of the First Earn Out Payment and Second Earn Out Payment so deposited into the Indebtedness Escrow Fund is not less than the anticipated aggregate amount of the Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances. To the extent any portion of the Second Earn Out Payment cannot be paid in Earn Out Shares, such portion of the Second Earn Out Payment shall be paid in cash.

(c) Third Earn Out Period. Buyer will pay Seller an amount equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Income actually received by Buyer from the Business during the Third Earn Out Period (the “Third Earn Out Payment”), fifty (50%) percent in cash and, subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval by the stockholders of Buyer of the proposed issuance as may be required in accordance with the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market, fifty (50%) percent in Earn Out Shares, on or before the date thirty (30) days from the end of the Third Earn Out Period; provided, however, that 100% of the Third Earn Out Payment will be paid into and held in the Indebtedness Escrow until the total amount of the First Earn Out Payment, Second Earn Out Payment and Third Earn Out Payment so deposited into the Indebtedness Escrow Fund is not less than the anticipated aggregate amount of the Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances. To the extent any portion of the Third Earn Out Payment cannot be paid in Earn Out Shares, such portion of the Third Earn Out Payment shall be paid in cash.

(d) Nasdaq Approval. Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, (i) to the extent required by the rules and regulations of Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), to cause SG Blocks to prepare and submit to Nasdaq a notification form for the listing of the Earn Out Shares and to cause the Earn Out Shares to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance); and (ii) to the extent required by Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5110, to cause SG Blocks to file an initial listing application for the Company’s Common Stock on Nasdaq (the “Nasdaq Listing Application”) and to cause such Nasdaq Listing Application to be conditionally approved prior to the issuance of any Option Shares. The Parties and SG Blocks will use commercially reasonable efforts to coordinate with respect to compliance with Nasdaq rules and regulations. Seller will cooperate with Buyer as reasonably requested by Buyer with respect to the Nasdaq Listing Application and promptly furnish to the Buyer all information concerning the Seller and its members that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 2.06.

(e) Nasdaq Cap.

(f) Each Earn Out Payment will be accompanied by a certified statement (an “Earn Out Statement”) prepared by or on behalf of Buyer showing in reasonable detail the amount of Net Income received by Buyer from the Business during the applicable Earn Out Period and the calculation of the corresponding Earn Out Payment, if any.

(g) After receipt of an Earn Out Statement, Seller shall have thirty (30) days to review such Earn Out Statement and notify Buyer in writing of the number of Earn Out Shares, if any, to be issued in lieu of cash. At Seller’s request, Buyer shall deliver to Seller supporting materials as are reasonably required to understand and verify the accuracy of the amounts set forth, and all calculations made in, the Earn Out Statement. Unless Seller delivers written notice to Buyer on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after receipt of such Earn Out Statement specifying in reasonable detail all disputed items and the basis therefor (an “Earn Out Notice of Objection”), Seller shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to such Earn Out Statement. Any Earn Out Statement Notice of Objection shall include only objections based on (i) mathematical errors in the computation of net income and/or an Earn Out Payment; (ii) whether an item should be included in, or excluded from, the Earn Out Statement based on the definition of Net Income; or (iii) any written agreement entered into between Seller and Buyer regarding a modification of the calculation of an Earn Out Payment.

(h) If Seller provides an Earn Out Statement Notice of Objection within such thirty (30) day period, Seller and Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of such Earn Out Statement Notice of Objection (the “Earn Out Statement Resolution Period”), negotiate in good faith to resolve their differences and any resolution by them (evidenced in writing) as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto. If a dispute remains at the conclusion of the Earn Out Statement Resolution Period, then all amounts remaining in dispute shall be submitted for resolution to an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants (other than Seller’s Accountants or Buyer’s Accountants) (the “Independent Accountant”) appointed by Buyer and Seller by mutual agreement within five (5) days after the expiration of such Earn Out Statement Resolution Period. All fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Seller and Buyer in proportion to the percentage of the total amount in dispute that is resolved in their favor. The Independent Accountant shall determine and resolve only those issues in dispute. The Independent Accountant’s determination shall be made within sixty (60) days after the submission of the dispute to the Independent Accountant, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Seller and Buyer and shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto. The date on which the disputed Earn Out Payment is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.06(h) shall be referred to as an “Earn Out Determination Date”.

(i) Within five (5) Business Days after an Earn Out Determination Date, if an Earn Out Payment is due and payable to Seller, then Buyer shall pay such Earn Out Payment to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Seller and issuance of the Earn Out Shares. In the event Buyer fails to timely pay any undisputed Earn Out Payment pursuant to this Agreement, interest shall accrue on such unpaid Earn Out Payment at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum and be added to and paid with the cash portion of the Earn Out Payment.

Section 2.06. Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) Within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller (A) a statement setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, which statement shall be in the form of Section 2.07(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”), and (B) a certificate of an officer the of Buyer that the Closing Working Capital Statement was prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Audited Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end, subject to the modifications and limitations set forth on Section 2.07(a)(i) of the Disclosure Schedules.

(ii) The “Post-Closing Adjustment” shall be an amount equal to the Closing Working Capital minus the Target Working Capital. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a positive number, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment; provided, however, that no such payment will be due and owing to Seller to the extent such payment is less than any unrecouped amounts of the Buyer’s Indebtedness Advances. If the Post-Closing Adjustment is a negative number, Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.

(b) Examination and Review.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Working Capital Statement, Seller shall have thirty (30) days (the “Working Capital Review Period”) to review the Closing Working Capital Statement. During the Working Capital Review Period, Seller and Seller’s Accountants shall have full access to the relevant books and records of Buyer, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, Buyer and/or Buyer’s Accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Working Capital Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in Buyer’s possession) relating to the Closing Working Capital Statement as Seller may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Working Capital Statement and to prepare a Working Capital Notice of Objections (defined below), provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer.

(ii) Objection. On or prior to the last day of the Working Capital Review Period, Seller may object to the Closing Working Capital Statement by delivering to Buyer written notice setting forth Seller’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and the basis for Seller’s disagreement therewith (the “Working Capital Notice of Objections”). If Seller fails to deliver the Working Capital Notice of Objections before the expiration of the Working Capital Review Period, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, reflected in the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller. If Seller delivers the Working Capital Notice of Objections before the expiration of the Working Capital Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Working Capital Notice of Objections (the “Working Capital Resolution Period”), and, if the same are so resolved within the Working Capital Resolution Period, the Post-Closing Adjustment and the Closing Working Capital Statement with such changes as may have been previously agreed in writing by Buyer and Seller, shall be final and binding.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Buyer fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Working Capital Notice of Objections before expiration of the Working Capital Resolution Period, then any amounts remaining in dispute (“Working Capital Disputed Amounts” and any amounts not so disputed, the “Working Capital Undisputed Amounts”) shall be submitted to the Independent Accountant who, acting as an expert and not arbitrator, shall resolve the Working Capital Disputed Amounts only and make any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as the case may be, and the Closing Working Capital Statement. The parties hereto agree that all adjustments shall be made without regard to materiality. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties and their decision for each Working Capital Disputed Amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Working Capital Notice of Objections, respectively.

(iv) Fees of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid by Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the amount actually contested but not awarded to Seller or Buyer, respectively, bears to the aggregate amount actually contested by Seller and Buyer.

(v) Determination by Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination as soon as practicable within thirty (30) days (or such other time as the parties hereto shall agree in writing) after their engagement, and their resolution of the Working Capital Disputed Amounts and their adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Statement and/or the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(vi) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment, together with interest calculated as set forth below, shall (A) be due (x) within five (5) Business Days of acceptance of the applicable Closing Working Capital Statement or (y) if there are Working Capital Disputed Amounts, then within five (5) Business Days of the resolution described in clause (v) above; and (B) be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is directed by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be. Any payment of the Post-Closing Adjustment owed by Seller to Buyer shall be paid by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement: (X) from the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, and (Y) to the extent the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment exceeds the amount available in the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, from the Indemnification Escrow Fund. The amount of any Post-Closing Adjustment shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to and including the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to six percent (6%) per annum. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to Section 2.07 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(d) Offset. In addition to Buyer’s rights with respect to the Purchase Price Adjustment Escrow Fund, the Indemnification Escrow Fund, the Indebtedness Escrow Fund and Buyer’s rights to withhold and retain Earn Out Payments in accordance with Sections, 2.06(a), (b) and (c) Buyer shall have the right to withhold and set-off against any Earn Out Payments or other amounts that may be due to Seller under this Agreement; provided, however, that, except for Buyer’s rights with respect to Earn Out Payments as set forth in Sections, 2.06(a), (b) and (c), in which case Buyer may withhold, set off against and deposit into the Indebtedness Escrow all Earn Out Payments without giving notice to Seller regardless of the amount of set-off, Buyer may not offset in an amount in excess of $50,000 (in the aggregate) without first giving written notice to Seller, in which case Seller and Buyer will seek to resolve the events giving rise to the offset in good faith. In the event such good faith efforts are unsuccessful, or the parties are unable to achieve a mutually acceptable resolution within 30 days (unless that time period is extended by the written agreement of Seller and Buyer), then the dispute will be submitted to binding mediation. During the pendency of such mediation, the funds subject to Buyer’s proposed offset will be held in escrow by Buyer’s attorney in accordance with an escrow agreement in substantially the form of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.07. Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to Seller within ten (10) days after to the Closing Date. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within twenty (20) days following the Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Buyer. Buyer and Seller shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Any adjustments to Section 2.08 herein shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer’s good-faith estimate of the Purchase Price Allocation is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.08.

Section 2.08. Withholding Tax. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

Section 2.09. Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Contract or Permit constituting a Purchased Asset, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller, at its expense, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.10 to the contrary, Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 7.02(e) hereof unless and until Buyer either provides written waivers thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing.

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

(a) Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Seller shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar.

(d) For purposes of this Article VIII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

Section 8.05. Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, 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 (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of the Business, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and, in such event,, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.06. Payments; Indemnification Escrow Fund.

(a) Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such 15-Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to five percent (5%) per annum. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) Any Losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII shall be satisfied: (i) from the Indemnification Escrow Fund; and (ii) to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amounts available to the Buyer Indemnitee in the Indemnification Escrow Fund, from Seller.

Section 8.07. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08. 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 Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be, unless the Indemnified Party had actual knowledge that such warranty or representation was inaccurate under the documents or materials delivered by the Indemnifying Party during Due Diligence.

Section 8.09. Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 2.07(d), Section 6.07 and Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 shall not have been, or if it becomes apparent that any of such conditions will not be, fulfilled by the Closing Date on September ___, 2020, unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to the Closing; provided, however, that Buyer may terminate this Agreement if the condition set forth in Section 7.02(a) has not been satisfied in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion;
