(a) Closing Payments. At Closing, CHC shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Skyline Members upon delivery of a letter of transmittal (i) the CHC Cash Consideration in immediately available funds to the persons, in the amounts and pursuant to the wire instructions set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet, (ii) $1,500,000 aggregate principal amount of the CHC Term Debentures dated as of the Closing Date and issued in the names and the principal amounts set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet, and (iii) $5,575,000 aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debentures dated as of the Closing Date and issued in the names and the principal amounts set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet (collectively, the “Closing Consideration”). At the Closing, CHC shall deliver to the Members’ Representative, on behalf of the Skyline Members in the names and percentages set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet, a Convertible Debenture dated as of the Closing Date payable to the Members’ Representative as agent for the individual Skyline Members in the principal amount of $5,575,000 (the “Escrow Debenture”) which will be otherwise identical to the Convertible Debentures to be issued to Skyline Members. At the Closing, CHC shall also pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the applicable payees specified on Schedule 1.7(a)(ii) of the Consideration Spreadsheet, the transaction expenses payable to each such payee as specified on Schedule 1.7(a)(ii) of the Consideration Spreadsheet; provided, however, that such transaction expenses shall not exceed, when added to the amount included in the determination of the CHC Cash Consideration pursuant to clause (a)(i) of Section 1.6, $50,000 in the aggregate.

(b) Within five (5) Business Days of the termination of the Basic Indemnification Period (the “Settlement Date”), the Members’ Representative shall return for exchange the Escrow Debenture and CHC shall issue and deliver to the Skyline Members in the names and percentages set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet, an aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures, which Convertible Debentures shall be dated the Closing Date and in aggregate equal to $5,575,000 less (i) a principal amount of Convertible Debentures having a Value equal to the amount of any Losses incurred prior to the Settlement Date by any CHC Indemnitee that have been definitively determined in accordance with ARTICLE VII, and less (ii) a principal amount of Convertible Debentures having a Value equal to a reasonable reserve amount (to be determined jointly by CHC and the Members’ Representative in good faith) in respect of any CHC Claims submitted on or prior to the Settlement Date in accordance with ARTICLE VII (provided that if CHC and the Members’ Representative cannot agree in good faith on a reasonable reserve amount, the principal amount in this clause (ii) shall equal the aggregate amount claimed by the CHC Indemnitees in all CHC Claim Notices delivered to the Members’ Representative on or prior to the Settlement Date that CHC and the Members’ Representative have not resolved as of the Settlement Date). Thereafter, CHC shall issue to the Skyline Members, within five (5) Business Days following the date on which any CHC Claim Notice referred to in clause (ii) above is finally resolved, in accordance with Article VII, against any CHC Indemnitee, an aggregate principal amount of Convertible Debentures, dated the Closing Date, having a Value equal to the amount of the applicable CHC Claim Notice, such Convertible Debentures to be issued in the names and percentages set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Skyline Units. All Closing Consideration and the Escrow Debenture issued and delivered on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.7(a)(i) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued at the Effective Time in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Skyline Units outstanding on the Closing Date. From and after the Effective Time, the transfer books of Skyline shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Company of the Skyline Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Representative Amount. At the Closing, CHC shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Members’ Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Members’ Representative prior to Closing, $50,000 (the “Representative Amount”). The Representative Amount shall be used for the purposes set forth in Section 7.5. The Representative Amount will be deducted from the payments that would otherwise be payable to the Skyline Members on a pro rata basis as shown in Section 1.7(d) of the Consideration Spreadsheet. To the extent any amount becomes payable out of the Representative Amount to the Skyline Members pursuant to Section 7, the Members’ Representative shall cause such amount to be paid to the Skyline Members on a pro rata basis as shown in Section 1.7(d) of the Consideration Spreadsheet.

(e) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Company, Merger Sub and CHC shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Skyline Units such amounts as the Surviving Company, Merger Sub or CHC, as applicable, is required to deduct and withhold pursuant to the applicable rules under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted in accordance with the provisions of this Section ‎1.7(e), and are timely paid to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Skyline Units in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Company, Merger Sub or CHC, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Surviving Company, Merger Sub or CHC (or any Affiliate thereof) determines that withholding or deduction is required pursuant to applicable tax Law with respect to any payment required to be made under this Agreement to any holder of Skyline Units, the paying party shall provide such holder with a written notice of its intent to withhold or deduct from such payment as soon as reasonably practicable (and, in any case, with sufficient time to allow such holder to prepare and produce any documentation to eliminate or reduce such withholding or deduction). In connection with the foregoing, the Members’ Representative shall deliver to CHC prior to the Closing a duly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 from each holder of Skyline Units.

4.11 Tax Matters.

(a) Intended Tax Treatment. The Parties intend that for U.S. federal income Tax purposes the conversion of the Skyline Units into Merger Consideration will be treated (i) as to the Skyline Members as a taxable sale of the Skyline Units as described in Situation 2 of Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432; and (ii) as to the CHC as a purchase of the assets and liabilities of Skyline. The Parties intend that the Skyline Members will report on the installment method of reporting pursuant to Code Section 453 with respect to the CHC Term Debentures and the CHC Convertible Debentures.

(b) Members’ Representative Tax Returns. The Members’ Representative shall (i) prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed (including extensions validly obtained), all income Tax Returns of Skyline that are required to be filed with respect to any Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date (“Members’ Representative Tax Returns”) in a manner consistent with past practices of Skyline to the extent permitted by Law, and such Tax Returns may take into account Transaction Expense Deductions that are properly deductible for such periods at a “more likely than not” level of certainty, and (ii) timely pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown to be due and payable by Skyline on such Tax Returns. The Members’ Representative shall deliver to CHC copies of all Members’ Representative Tax Returns at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date thereof (including extensions validly obtained),and shall not unreasonably refuse to incorporate any comments from CHC received 10 days prior to such due date.

(c) CHC Tax Returns. CHC shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed (including extensions validly obtained), (i) all Tax Returns for Skyline that are required to be filed with respect to any Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date other than Members’ Representative Tax Returns, and (ii) all Tax Returns of Skyline that are required to be filed with respect to any Tax period that begins before or on the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) (Tax Returns described in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, “CHC Tax Returns”) in a manner consistent with past practices of Skyline to the extent permitted by Law and shall take into account as deductions any Transaction Expense Deductions that are properly deductible for such periods. CHC shall deliver to the Members’ Representative copies of all CHC Tax Returns at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date thereof (including extensions validly obtained), and shall not unreasonably refuse to incorporate any comments from the Members’ Representative received ten (10) days prior to such due date. The Members’ Representative and Skyline Members shall bear, and pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes of Skyline for any Tax Period ending on or before the Closing Date, including the portion of any Straddle Period, ending on the Closing Date, while CHC shall bear and pay, or cause to be paid, Taxes for all periods beginning after the Closing Date, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date. In the case of Taxes arising in a Straddle Period, the allocation of such Taxes between the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) and the portion of such period beginning on the calendar day after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”) shall be made (1) on the basis of an interim closing of the books in the case of payroll Taxes, income Taxes and other Taxes based on gross receipts provided that any Transaction Expense Deductions for expenses that are accrued for tax purposes or paid on or before the Closing Date and that are deductible on such Tax Returns shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and (2) on the basis of the number of calendar days elapsed in the portion of the period ending at the end of the Closing Date and the portion of the period beginning at the beginning of the calendar day following the Closing Date in the case of Taxes not based on income or gross receipts (including property, ad valorem and similar Taxes), provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions calculated on an annual basis (other than with respect to property placed in service after the Closing) shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period on a per diem basis.

(d) Tax Controversies. The Members’ Representative may elect, at its own cost and expense, to control any Tax audit, Tax dispute, Tax notice (including an assertion of a deficiency or a notice of a proposed adjustment), or any assertion of a claim for Taxes or Proceeding with respect to Skyline (each, a “Tax Controversy”) with respect to any income Taxes for a Tax period of Skyline ending on or before the Closing Date (“Members’ Representative Tax Controversies”), provided that (i) the Members’ Representative shall keep CHC informed of all material events and developments in such Members’ Tax Controversy, and shall reasonably cooperate with CHC and consult in good faith with CHC regarding the conduct of, or positions taken, in any Members’ Tax Controversy (ii) the Members’ Representative shall settle or compromise, concede, or enter into any other agreement, with respect to the Tax Controversy, or any portion of such Tax Controversy, only with the prior written consent of CHC (such consent to not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), and (iii) CHC shall be entitled, at its sole expense, to provide comments to the Members’ Representative regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such Members’ Representative Tax Controversy and to participate in such Tax Controversy. Tax Controversies that are not Members’ Representative Tax Controversies, but that are reasonably likely to result in liabilities that the Skyline Members would be required to indemnify the CHC Indemnitees for under Article VII, will be controlled by CHC, provided that (i) CHC shall keep the Members’ Representative informed of all material events and developments in such Tax Controversy, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Member’s Representative and consult in good faith with the Member’s Representative regarding the conduct of, or positions taken, in any such Tax Controversy (ii) CHC shall settle or compromise, concede, or enter into any other agreement, with respect to the Tax Controversy, or any portion of such Tax Controversy, only with the prior written consent of Members’ Representative (such consent to not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), and (iii) Members’ Representative shall be entitled, at its sole expense, to provide comments to CHC regarding the conduct of or positions taken in any such Tax Controversy and to participate in such Tax Controversy.

(e) Cooperation. After the Closing, each Skyline Member and the Members’ Representative shall cooperate with CHC, including its accounting firms and legal counsel upon reasonable request, in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return or any refund claim or any Tax Controversy with respect to the activities or filings of Skyline for any period, or the portion of any period, prior to the Closing Date. In addition, CHC shall cooperate with the Members’ Representative, in the same manner as set forth above, in connection with the preparation of any Members’ Representative Tax Return (or any refund claim related thereto) or any Members’ Representative Tax Controversy. The cooperation of any Person under this Section 4.11(e) shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information, including work papers, but excluding records and information that are protected by recognized professional privilege. The Parties each agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to Skyline relating to the six year period (or portion thereof) prior to the Closing Date for a period of at least six years and shall provide notice to the other prior to destroying any such books and records (and an opportunity for the other to take possession of such books and records).

(f) Notice. If, after the Effective Time, any Party receives any document with respect to the Tax matters of Skyline or the Surviving Company that could reasonably be expected to affect any of the other Parties, the Party receiving such document shall supply a copy of such document to the potentially affected Party promptly upon receipt thereof, provided, however, that the failure to provide such a copy shall not be a condition precedent to the liability of any Party under this Agreement. For this purpose, such Tax documents shall include requests for information, notices of proposed adjustment, revenue agent’s reports or similar reports and notices of deficiency. Any information provided or obtained under this paragraph shall be kept confidential, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of a Tax Return, refund claims, or any Tax Controversy, or as required by applicable Regulations.

(g) Allocation Methodology. For purposes of determining the Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to all parties hereto, including the character of the Skyline Members’ gain recognition under Section 751(a) of the Code, the fair market value of the assets and liabilities of Skyline shall be determined using the allocation methodology to be agreed upon by the Parties prior to the Closing (the “Allocation Methodology”). CHC, Skyline, the Surviving Company, and the Skyline Members shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation Methodology, and shall take no position before any Governmental Authority or in any legal proceeding that is inconsistent with the Allocation Methodology; provided, that (i) nothing contained herein shall prevent any party from settling in good faith any proposed deficiency or adjustment by a governmental authority based upon or arising out of the Allocation Methodology, and (ii) no party shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by a governmental authority challenging the Allocation Methodology.

(h) Post-Closing Elections and Amendments.

(i) Except as may be required by Law or contemplated by this Agreement, CHC shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Surviving Company to, (A) take any action or make any election that is reasonably likely to materially increase the Skyline Members’ liability for Taxes (or the liability for Taxes of any direct or indirect owner of a Skyline Member) for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (including any liability of the Skyline member to indemnify CHC for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement), or (B) amend any Tax Return for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date or Straddle Period, in each case, without the Members’ Representative’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(ii) The provisions of this Section 4.10 with respect to the preparation of Tax Returns and the control of Tax Controversies shall supersede any contrary provisions of the Skyline Operating Agreement. After Closing, CHC agrees that any amendment to the Skyline Operating Agreement shall not be deemed an amendment or modification of the Members’ Legacy Agreement.

4.12 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if any, shall be borne and paid equally (50%-50%) by the Skyline Members, on one hand, and CHC on the other. The Party required by applicable Law shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of any such Taxes. The Skyline Members and the Members’ Representative, on the one hand, and CHC, on the other hand, upon the other’s reasonable request, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any transfer Tax that could be imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.13 Employees and Consultants. At least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, CHC shall notify Skyline of any employees or consultants of Skyline that CHC does not intend employ or engage following Closing that are listed on Section ‎2.11(j) of the Skyline Disclosure Letter.

If any claim has been asserted in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period, such claim, if unresolved as of such expiration date, shall not be extinguished as barred by the expiration of the relevant representation and warranty and such claims shall survive until finally resolved by a settlement agreement executed by the applicable parties or by binding arbitration in accordance with this Article VII. Any claim for indemnification not made by CHC or the Members’ Representative (for himself or herself or on behalf of any Skyline Member), as applicable, on or prior to the date of expiration of the applicable survival period will be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived.

7.2 General Indemnification Obligations.

(a) Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII , from and after the Closing, the Skyline Members shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless CHC, the Surviving Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the officers, employees, directors, managers, members, Affiliates, partners and stockholders of CHC (collectively, the “CHC Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages, penalties, fines, judgments, awards, settlements, Taxes, costs, fees (including reasonable investigation fees), expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and disbursements (collectively, “Losses”) actually incurred by any of the CHC Indemnitees following the Closing Date based upon or arising from (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of Skyline contained in ARTICLE II of this Agreement or in a certificate delivered by or on behalf of Skyline pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) any breach of the covenants or agreements of Skyline or the Skyline Members or any of their Affiliates contained in this Agreement, (iii) any amount that is not forgiven under the PPP Loan, provided that CHC has complied in all material respects with Section 8.4, (iv) the net amount of any accounts receivable that are not collected by CHC and the Surviving Company prior to the date that is 180 days following the Closing Date which accounts receivable were borrowed against in an amount which is outstanding as of the Closing Date under the ABF Loan and (v) any Retained Tax Liabilities.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII, from and after the Closing, each of CHC and the Surviving Company, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Members’ Representative, the Skyline Members, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the officers, employees, directors, managers, members, partners and stockholders of the Skyline Members and their heirs and personal representatives (the “Skyline Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses actually incurred by any of Skyline Indemnitees following the Closing Date based upon or arising from (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of CHC or Merger Sub contained in ARTICLE III or in a certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) any breach of the covenants or agreements of CHC, the Surviving Company or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement.

7.3 Exclusive Remedy. The Parties agree that, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in this Agreement (including representations, warranties, covenants and agreements) and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether based in contract or tort, other than claims for fraud on the part of a Party in connection with the Merger or the other Contemplated Transactions, are (x) the indemnification provided in this ARTICLE VII, and (y) equitable remedies (including, but not limited to, specific performance).

7.4 Limitations on Liability and Indemnification Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or otherwise to the contrary (except as contemplated by the last sentence of Section ‎7.3), the right of an Indemnitee to indemnification is limited as follows:

(a) The CHC Indemnitees and Skyline Indemnitees, respectively, will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section ‎7.2‎(a)(i) or Section ‎7.2‎(b)(i) on account of any Losses (other than Losses arising out of a breach of or inaccuracy in a Fundamental Representation, which shall not be subject to this clause) solely to the extent (but only to the extent) that the aggregate amount of all Losses actually incurred by such Indemnitees exceeds $250,000 (the “Threshold”), in which event the CHC Indemnitees or Skyline Indemnitees, as applicable, will be entitled to indemnification for all such Losses solely to the extent exceeding the Threshold. In determining whether the applicable Threshold has been achieved, Losses relating to a particular event, occurrence, or breach will be counted and included only to the extent they exceed $10,000 individually, such that claims involving Losses below that amount will be deemed to be and treated as de minimis and not count toward the Threshold, or otherwise be included in determining whether the Threshold has been hit).

(b) The CHC Indemnitees will not be entitled to assert any claims or recovery for Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than Losses arising out of a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation, which shall not be subject to this clause), or Section 7.2(a)(iii), Section 7.2(a)(iv) or Section 7.2(a)(v) having an aggregate Value in excess of the Set-Off Amount. The CHC Indemnitees will not be entitled to assert any claims or recovery for Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) arising out of a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation having an aggregate Value in excess of the Merger Consideration. No Skyline Member shall be liable to the CHC Indemnitees pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) for any Losses in excess of the aggregate Value of the Merger Consideration received or to be received by such Skyline Member. Additionally, the Skyline Indemnitees will not be entitled to assert any claims or recovery for Losses pursuant to Section ‎7.2‎(b)(i) (other than Losses arising out of a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation, which shall not be subject to this clause) in the aggregate more than $2,000,000; provided, however, that such limitation will not apply or be applicable to any claims arising out of or resulting from any failure of CHC pay or to deliver consideration or payments due under this Agreement to the Skyline Members.

(c) An Indemnitee’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section ‎7.2 on account of any Losses will be reduced by all insurance or other third party indemnification proceeds actually received by the Indemnitee (net of collection costs, deductibles, and retroactive premium adjustments related to the insurance claim). An Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to claim and recover any Losses suffered by such Indemnitees under any such insurance policies or other third-party indemnities; provided, however, that an Indemnitee is not required to initiate pursuit of such insurance or indemnity proceeds prior to asserting any claim or claims under this Article VII.

7.5 Procedures.

(a) Notice of Losses by Skyline Indemnitee. As soon as reasonably practicable after a Skyline Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any claim pursuant to Section 7.2(b) that may result in a Loss (a “Claim”) but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after becoming aware of such Claim, the Members’ Representative shall give notice thereof (a “Claims Notice”) to CHC. A Claims Notice must describe the Claim in reasonable detail, including which section of this Agreement was breached, and set forth the Members’ Representative’s good faith calculation of the Loss that has been suffered by the applicable Skyline Indemnitee. No delay in or failure to give a Claims Notice by the Members’ Representative to CHC pursuant to this ‎Section 7.1(a) will adversely affect any of the rights or remedies that Skyline Indemnitees have under this Agreement, or alter or relieve CHC or the Surviving Company of their obligation to indemnify the applicable Skyline Indemnitee, except to the extent that either CHC or the Surviving Company is materially prejudiced thereby. CHC shall respond to the Members’ Representative (a “Claim Response”) within 30 calendar days (the “Response Period”) after the date that the Claims Notice is received by CHC. Any Claim Response must specify whether CHC disputes the Claim described in the Claims Notice (or the amount of Losses set forth therein). If CHC fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, CHC will be deemed not to dispute the Claim described in the related Claims Notice. If CHC elects not to dispute a Claim described in a Claims Notice, then the amount of Losses alleged in such Claims Notice with respect to such undisputed Claim will be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of CHC, and CHC shall, at its election, within three Business Days of the last day of the applicable Response Period, either make payment to the applicable Skyline Indemnitee(s) in cash in an aggregate amount equal to the amount specified in the Claims Notice with respect to such undisputed Claim, or issue to the applicable Skyline Indemnitee(s) such number of shares of CHC Common Stock as have an aggregate Value equal to the amount specified in the Claims Notice with respect to such undisputed Claim, in either case subject to the limitations contained in this ARTICLE VII. If CHC delivers a Claim Response within the Response Period indicating that it disputes one or more of the Claims identified in the Claims Notice, CHC and the Members’ Representative shall promptly meet and use their commercially reasonable efforts to settle the dispute. In connection with the commencement of any arbitration proceedings pursuant to Section 7.5(c), upon either (i) receipt of the final binding decision of the Arbitrator with respect to the subject matter of a Claims Notice or (ii) written agreement of CHC and Members’ Representative with respect to the resolution of the subject matter of a Claims Notice, the Skyline Members shall be entitled to recover from CHC an amount of Losses in accordance with such determination or resolution, subject to the limitations contained in this ARTICLE VII.

(b) Notice of Losses by CHC Indemnitee. As soon as reasonably practicable after a CHC Indemnitee has actual knowledge of any claim pursuant to Section 7.2(a) that may result in a Loss (a “CHC Claim”) but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after becoming aware of such CHC Claim, then CHC shall give notice thereof (a “CHC Claim Notice” and together with a Claims Notice, a “Notice”) to the Members’ Representative. A CHC Claim Notice must describe the CHC Claim in reasonable detail, including which section of this Agreement was breached, and set forth CHC’s good faith calculation of the Loss that has been suffered by a CHC Indemnitee. No delay in or failure to give a CHC Claims Notice by CHC to the Members’ Representative pursuant to this Section 7.5(b) will adversely affect any of the rights or remedies that a CHC Indemnitee has under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Skyline Members and/or Members’ Representative is materially prejudiced thereby. The Members’ Representative shall respond to CHC (a “Dispute Notice”) within 30 calendar days (the “Dispute Period”) after the date the CHC Claim Notice is received by the Members’ Representative. Any Dispute Notice must specify whether the Members’ Representative disputes a CHC Claim described in a CHC Claim Notice (or the amount of Losses set forth therein). If the Members’ Representative fails to give a Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, the Members’ Representative will be deemed not to dispute the CHC Claim described in the CHC Claim Notice. If the Members’ Representative elects not to dispute a CHC Claim described in a CHC Claim Notice, then CHC shall be entitled to recover from the Skyline Members the amount of Losses specified in the CHC Claim Notice, subject to the limitations contained in this ARTICLE VII. If the Members’ Representative delivers a Dispute Notice to CHC within the Dispute Period, CHC and the Members’ Representative shall promptly meet and use their commercially reasonable efforts to settle the dispute as to whether and to what extent the CHC Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification on account of such CHC Claim. In connection with the commencement of any arbitration proceedings pursuant to Section 7.5(c), upon either (i) receipt of the final binding decision of the Arbitrator with respect to the subject matter of a Dispute Notice or (ii) written agreement of CHC and Members’ Representative with respect to the resolution of the subject matter of a Dispute Notice, CHC shall be entitled to recover from the Skyline Members an amount of Losses in accordance with such determination or resolution, subject to the limitations contained in this ARTICLE VII.

(c) Arbitration. CHC and the Members’ Representative shall each provide a list of unresolved CHC Claims and Claims or anticipated claims on the 150th day following the Closing Date (the “Open Dispute Notice”). For the 30 day period following the delivery of an Open Dispute Notice, CHC and the Members’ Representative shall meet and use their commercially reasonable efforts to settle any disputes. If CHC and the Members’ Representative are unable to reach agreement within 30 calendar days after (i) the conclusion of the Response Period, (ii) CHC receives a Dispute Notice, or (iii) delivery of the Open Dispute Notices, then CHC and the Members’ Representative shall submit, in writing, their briefs detailing their views as to the correct nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute to a single arbitrator (“Arbitrator”) selected from and administered by the Nevada office of JAMS (“JAMS”), in accordance with its then existing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures. The arbitration hearing shall be held in Nevada, and, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties, all substantive and procedural issues arising therein shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Members’ Representative and CHC shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Arbitrator to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within thirty (30) days following the submission thereof. Each party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the Arbitrator and JAMS; however, the Arbitrator shall be authorized to determine whether a party is the prevailing party and, if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, and the fees and costs of the Arbitrator and JAMS. Any decision of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding and subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII.

(d) Payment of Claims. If and to the extent the CHC Indemnitees are entitled to recover any amounts pursuant to this ARTICLE VII (other than Losses arising out of a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation), such amounts shall be recovered only by reducing the principal amount of CHC Convertible Debentures to be issued by CHC pursuant to Section 1.7(b) by a principal amount of CHC Convertible Debentures with a Value equal to such amounts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the CHC Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover any Losses arising out of a breach of inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation (i) first by reducing the principal amount of CHC Convertible Debentures to be issued by CHC pursuant to Section 1.7(b) by a principal amount of CHC Convertible Debentures with a Value up to the Set-Off Amount in accordance with the foregoing terms, (ii) second, from the Skyline Members pro rata pursuant to the percentages set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet by set-off and cancellation against the outstanding CHC Convertible Debentures with a Value equal to such Losses in accordance with the Consideration Spreadsheet, (iii) third, from the Skyline Members pro rata pursuant to the percentages set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet by setoffs and cancellation against the outstanding CHC Term Notes in a principal amount equal to such Loses, and (iv) fourth, from the Skyline Members pro rata pursuant to the percentages set forth in Section 1.7(a)(i) of the Consideration Spreadsheet in cash. Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, the sole remedy for CHC Indemnitees to recover any consideration for a breach of a Fundamental Representation is offset against the CHC Convertible Debentures, CHC Term Debentures and cash issuable, issued or paid to the Skyline Members. If and to the extent the Skyline Indemnitees are entitled to recover any amounts pursuant to this ARTICLE VII (other than Losses arising out of a breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation), such amounts shall be recovered only by the issuance and delivery by CHC of shares of CHC Common Stock having a Value equal to such amounts. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Skyline Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover any Losses arising out of a breach of inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation by CHC (i) first from the issuance of shares of CHC Common Stock having a Value of up to $2,000,000 in accordance with the foregoing terms, and (ii) second, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Skyline Members no later than three (3) Business Days following the determination of any such amount pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Failure of Payment. Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, except as provided in this Article VII, the Skyline Indemnitees will not be limited in any way in their right to recover against CHC for any failure to deliver the full amount of any and all amounts to be paid and delivered hereunder.

(f) Access to Information. For all purposes of this ARTICLE VII (including those pertaining to disputes under Section 7.5(a) and Section 7.5(b), each Party shall cooperate with and make available to the other Parties and their respective representatives all information, records and data, and shall permit reasonable access to its facilities and personnel, as applicable, as may be reasonably required in connection with the resolution of such disputes unless it would adversely affect the ability of a Party to assert attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or similar privilege.

(g) Opportunity to Defend Third Party Claims. In the event of any claim by a third party against a CHC Indemnitee or Skyline Indemnitee for which indemnification is available hereunder, the party from whom indemnification is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”), has the right, exercisable by notice to CHC or the Members’ Representative, as applicable, within 30 calendar days of receipt of a Notice from CHC or the Members’ Representative, as applicable, to assume and conduct the defense of such claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed such defense as provided in this Section 7.5(g), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by any Indemnitee in connection with the defense of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any third party claim in accordance with this Section 7.5(g), the Indemnitee may continue to defend such claim at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VII) and the Indemnifying Party may still participate in, but not control, the defense of such third party claim at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee will not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim, will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee or (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability with respect to such claim. The Party responsible for the defense of such third party claim (the “Responsible Party”) shall, to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, keep such other Party informed as to the status of such claim.

10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in multiple counterparts (including facsimile, PDF, DocuSign or other electronic counterparts), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

10.5 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (i) constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; and (ii) except as expressly provided in this Agreement are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, the Skyline Members are express and intended third party beneficiaries of this Agreement.

10.8 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the Parties. The Parties further agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that is mutually agreeable to the Parties and that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.9 Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties irrevocably (i) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the District Court of the State of Nevada in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions, and, in connection with any such matter, to service of process by notice as otherwise provided herein, (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions in any court other than the District Court of the State of Nevada. In the event (but only in the event) that the District Court of the State of Nevada does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such action or proceeding, then the Parties will submit to personal jurisdiction of any federal court in the State of Nevada. Any Party may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section ‎10.2.

10.10 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that (i) provided that CHC does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms, CHC shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which CHC is entitled at law or in equity; and (ii) provided that Skyline does not terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Skyline shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which Skyline is entitled at law or in equity.

The preceding sentence will not limit the right or ability of a Party seeking specific performance to recover damages, costs or expenses, under another provision of this Agreement or of any other Transaction Document.

10.11 Rules of Construction. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

10.12 Assignment. No Party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.14 Limitation on Damages. In no event will any Party or any shareholder, stockholder, member or partner of any Party be liable to any other Party under or in connection with this Agreement or in connection with the Contemplated Transactions for special, general, indirect, consequential, or punitive or exemplary damages, including damages for lost profits or lost opportunity, even if the Party or any shareholder of member of such Party sought to be held liable has been advised of the possibility of such damage.

10.15 Attorney-Client Privilege. All communications involving attorney-client privilege between Skyline or Skyline Members (collectively, the “Company Securityholders”), on the one hand, and their respective counsels, including Koenig, Oelsner, Taylor, Schoenfeld & Gaddis PC, on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to such Company Securityholder (and not Skyline). Accordingly, neither Skyline or the Surviving Company shall have access to any such communications, or to the files of Koenig, Oelsner, Taylor, Schoenfeld & Gaddis PC relating to such engagement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Effective Time, (a) the Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not the Surviving Company) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and neither Skyline or the Surviving Company shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Koenig, Oelsner, Taylor, Schoenfeld & Gaddis PC in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the Company Securityholders and their Affiliates (and not Skyline or Surviving Corporation) shall hold such property rights and (c) Koenig, Oelsner, Taylor, Schoenfeld & Gaddis PC shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any member of Skyline or the Surviving Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Koenig, Oelsner, Taylor, Schoenfeld & Gaddis PC and Skyline or otherwise; provided that the foregoing shall not extend to any communication or files not involving the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between CHC, the Surviving Company and the Company Securityholders and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Effective Time, Skyline or the Surviving Company may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Koenig, Oelsner, Taylor, Schoenfeld & Gaddis PC to such third party; provided, however, that Skyline or Surviving Company may not waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Member Representative.

10.16 Company Counsel. Notwithstanding that Skyline has been represented by Koenig, Oelsner, Taylor, Schoenfeld & Gaddis PC in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, Skyline, CHC and the Surviving Company agree that, after the Effective Time, Koenig, Oelsner, Taylor, Schoenfeld & Gaddis PC may represent the Company Securityholders and their affiliates in matters related to this Agreement, including in respect of any indemnification claims.

If, at the time of conversion of this Note, the Holder has held this Note for a period of at least one year and the Holder has not been for a period of at least three months an “affiliate” of the Company, the Company shall cause to be delivered to its transfer agent in connection with the issuance of the shares of CHC Common Stock issuable upon such conversion, a legal opinion from the Company’s corporate counsel opining that, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, such shares of CHC Common Stock need not include any restrictive legend or market place trading or transfer restrictions.
