The Parties agree that the Company will remain subject to all obligations under the PPP Loan until such PPP Loan is terminated in accordance with its respective terms and any surviving obligations thereof have expired pursuant to the PPP (or any related or applicable laws or guidance). The Parties agree not to use any proceeds of the PPP Loans for any unauthorized use. To the extent that the Buyer or any affiliate (other than the Company) has a loan under the PPP, the Buyer further agrees and covenants that from and after the Closing the Buyer is responsible for segregating and delineating the PPP funds that it or any of its affiliates have received and its expenses and providing documentation to demonstrate compliance with PPP requirements by each of the Company and the Buyer (and any affiliate of the Buyer).

(d) In the event the Company is required to repay any portion of the PPP Loan to the PPP Lender (or its partners) or the SBA, or otherwise make any other payment to the PPP Lender (or its partners) or the SBA (collectively, the “PPP Repayment Amount”) as a result of (i) consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the PPP Consents, or (ii) non-compliance by Buyer with the PPP or any related or applicable laws in connection with the PPP Loan, then, within three (3) business days after the Company has been informed of its obligation to pay the PPP Repayment Amount, Buyer shall capitalize the Company with an amount in immediately available funds equal to the PPP Repayment Amount and Buyer shall remit such amounts to the PPP Lender (or its partners) and/or the SBA as directed by the SBA and/or the PPP Lender (or its partners).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing Date, the Company shall continue to use the Premises after the Closing Date in a manner consistent with the Company’s use of the Premises prior to the Closing Date, and the Company shall assume and undertake to pay or satisfy all liabilities of Phantom Power under the Sublease had such Sublease been assigned to the Company from Phantom Power at Closing, including, but limited to, payment for all rent and other costs and expenses required to be paid by Phantom Power under the Sublease (or the reimbursement of Phantom Power thereof), and reimbursement of Phantom Power for any portion of the $45,000 security deposit that is not returned to Phantom Power upon expiration or prior termination of the Sublease.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof: (i) no Seller Indemnifying Party shall have any indemnification obligations under Section 8.3 unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that may be claimed under such clause (but for operation of this paragraph) exceed the sum of $100,000 (the “Threshold”), in which case such Seller Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all Losses exceeding the Threshold up to a cap in the amount equal to ten percent (10%) multiplied by the portion of the Purchase Price received by the Seller Indemnifying Party (the “Cap”); provided, however, the foregoing limitations shall not apply to (i) breaches of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.4 or 2.5, which shall be capped at an amount equal to the portion of the Purchase Price received by the Seller Indemnifying Party, or (ii) actual and intentional fraud, which shall have no limit.

8.5. Expiration of Claims. The ability of Sellers to receive indemnification under Section 8.2(a), and the ability of Buyer to receive indemnification under Section 8.3(a), shall terminate on the Survival Termination Date, unless Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, shall have made a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), prior to the Survival Termination Date. If Sellers or Buyer, as applicable, made a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a) prior to the Survival Termination Date, such claim, if then unresolved, shall not be extinguished by the passage of the Survival Termination Date.

8.6. Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a) A party entitled to indemnification hereunder shall herein be referred to as an “Indemnified Party.” A party obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Party hereunder shall herein be referred to as an “Indemnifying Party.” As soon as is reasonable after an Indemnified Party either (i) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any action by any third party which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification from an Indemnifying Party hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”) or (ii) sustains any Loss not involving a Third Party Claim or action which such Indemnified Party reasonably believes may give rise to a claim for indemnification from an Indemnifying Party hereunder, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII notify such Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim, action or Loss, as the case may be; provided, however, that failure to notify Indemnifying Party shall not relieve Indemnifying Party of its indemnity obligation, except to the extent Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced in its defense of the action by such failure. Any such notification must be in writing and must state in reasonable detail the nature and basis of the claim, action or Loss, to the extent known. Except as provided in this Section 8.6, Indemnifying Party shall have the right to contest, defend, litigate or settle any such Third Party Claim which involves solely monetary damages; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall have notified the Indemnified Party in writing of its intention to do so within 15 days of the Indemnified Party having given notice of the Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall diligently contest the Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in, and to be represented by counsel (at its own expense) in any such contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement thereafter if the Indemnifying Party shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim or if representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would, in the reasonable opinion of such counsel, constitute a conflict of interest that cannot be waived under applicable standards of professional conduct.

(b) The Indemnifying Party, if it shall have assumed the defense of any Third Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any compromise or settlement which commits the Indemnified Party to take, or to forbear to take, any action or which does not provide for a complete release by such third party of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any Third Party Claim, on such terms and conditions as it deems reasonably appropriate, to the extent such Third Party Claim involves equitable or other non-monetary relief. All expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with the foregoing shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification against a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party fails to accept a tender of, or assume the defense of, a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 8.6 the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled, and shall lose its right, to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a Third Party Claim, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good faith, to contest, defend and litigate such Third Party Claim, and may settle such Third Party Claim either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as the Indemnified Party deems fair and reasonable, provided that at least ten (10) days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle is given to the Indemnifying Party.

8.7. Determination of Loss Amount; No Circular Recovery.

(a) Any Losses claimed hereunder shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually recovered less any costs of recovery by an Indemnified Party hereunder. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any such Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Indemnified Party has been indemnified or otherwise recovered hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate net amount of the recovery shall be made promptly to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) All Losses sought by an Indemnified Party hereunder shall be net of any amounts actually received by such Indemnified Party under indemnification, contribution, reimbursement or similar contracts with respect to such indemnification claim (net of any costs of recovery). If any such proceeds are received by an Indemnified Party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to any Losses after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment to the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, the Indemnified Party (or such Affiliate) shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such proceeds, benefits or recoveries (up to the amount of the Indemnifying Party’s payment).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the Company nor Sellers shall be liable or responsible under this Article VIII to any Buyer Indemnified Party for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Sellers contained in this Agreement if any Buyer Indemnified Party had, on or prior to the date of this Agreement, actual knowledge of the inaccuracy in or breach of, or of any facts or circumstances constituting or resulting in the inaccuracy in or breach of, such representation or warranty.

(d) Promptly after an Indemnified Party becomes aware of any event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or give rise to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of an Indemnifying Party set forth in this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate Losses that may result from such inaccuracy or breach. The Indemnified Party shall seek, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to seek, full recovery under all insurance policies and third party contracts covering of any Losses to the same extent as they would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder.

8.8. Manner of Payment. Any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article VIII shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Sellers or the Buyer, as the case may be, within three (3) business days after the determination of the amount thereof, whether pursuant to a final judgment, settlement or agreement among the Parties. Any indemnification obligation incurred by a Seller hereunder may be satisfied by such Xxxxxx, in such Seller’s reasonable discretion, through the offset of the Losses against amounts owing under the such Seller’s Notes.

8.9. Exclusive Remedy. The Parties hereto hereby agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII are the exclusive provisions in this Agreement with respect to the liability of the Sellers or the Buyer for the breach, inaccuracy or nonfulfillment of any representation or warranty or any covenants, agreements or other obligations contained in this Agreement and the sole remedy of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties for any claims for breach of representation or warranty or covenants, agreements or other obligations arising out of this Agreement or any law or legal theory applicable thereto; provided that nothing herein shall preclude any Party from (a) seeking any remedy based upon actual and intentional fraud or (b) enforcing its right to specific performance of covenants, agreements or other obligations pursuant to Section 9.15.

8.10. Losses. “Losses” mean means any losses, liability, tax, cost, claim, damage, penalty or expense, including attorneys’ fees, extra-judicial fees and costs, accountants, expert fees and other similar fees and expenses; provided that “Losses” are the natural, foreseeable and probable consequence of any breach and will not include (a) exemplary or punitive damages, lost profits or diminution in value, or (b) damages to the extent that they would not be recoverable under applicable laws in an action for breach of contract, except if and to the extent that any such damages referenced in subsection (b) are recovered against, or otherwise required to be paid by, an Indemnified Party pursuant to a third-party claim.
