Any such assignment shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder or affect the consideration payable to Sellers hereunder.

     2.2 Purchase Price2.2.1 As consideration for the purchase of the Shares, Purchaser shall, at the Closing:

     (a) Pay the sum of Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) (the “Closing Payment”), subject to the adjustments provided herein;

     (b) Assume all of the existing debt of the Company to institutional lenders as set forth in Schedule 2.2.1(b) (the “Assumed Institutional Debt”); and

     (c) Assume and pay-off of all of the existing debt of the Company owed to its shareholders, Affiliates and other investors as set forth in Schedule 2.2.1(c) (the “Assumed Shareholder Debt”), net of amounts owed to the Company by its shareholders, Affiliates and other investors as set forth in Schedule 2.2.1(c).

     In addition to the consideration set forth in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2.2.1, Sellers shall be entitled to additional consideration from Purchaser, determined as set forth in Section 2.4 below, with respect to each Applicable Earnout Period (as defined below) (the “Earnout Amounts”).

     Collectively, the Purchaser’s obligations under clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 2.2.1, together with the Earnout Amounts, constitute the “Purchase Price.” Subject to the adjustments and other reductions provided in Sections 2.2.3(a), 2.2.4 and 11.2 herein, the Closing Payment and the Assumed Shareholder Debt, net of amounts owed to the Company by its shareholders, Affiliates and other investors as set forth in Schedule 2.2.1(c), shall be paid at the Closing in cash, or by wire transfer of immediately funds to the Seller Representative, and shall be distributed by the Seller Representative in accordance with the respective percentage allocation as set forth under Closing Payment Allocations in Schedule2.2.1 and in accordance with the allocation as set forth under “Assumed Shareholder Debt Allocation” in Schedule 2.2.1, as applicable.

     Concurrently with the Closing, Purchaser shall also purchase (i) the unfinished lot inventory of Rex2 Development, LLC in the Massey Preserve development (collectively, the “Undeveloped Lots”), specifically identified in the Deed referred to in Section 8.6.1 of this Agreement., and (ii) the Company shall enter into the Rex and Rex2 Amendments referred to in Section 8.6.1 of this Agreement.

     2.2.2 [Reserved]

     2.2.3 (a) The Closing Payment shall be subject to adjustment as provided in this Section 2.2.3. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser its good faith estimate of the balance sheet for the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”), together with a certificate, signed by the President of the Company, pursuant to which the Company shall certify, represent and warrant to Purchaser that the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet fairly presents in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the anticipated Closing Date, and otherwise satisfies the requirements set forth in the following sentence. The Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet Shall be the balance sheet included in the Interim Financial Statements. The Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet shall (i) reflect adequate cash on hand to satisfy the accounts payable of the

Company, including any payables for invoices or other charges not yet received by the Company related to homes previously settled and (ii) be prepared in a manner consistent with the balance sheet included within the Interim Financial Statements (the “Interim Balance Sheet”), subject only to changes in the assets and liabilities of the Company arising from the operation of the Company’s business in the ordinary course (and in all cases in a manner consistent with the requirements of this Agreement) from the Interim Financial Statement Date through the Closing Date. In the event that the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet reflects total Liabilities in excess of the total amount of such Liabilities set forth on the Interim Balance Sheet plus any net increase in the Company’s work in process, leasehold improvements and the cost basis of property, plant, and equipment (“PP&E”), then Purchaser shall have the right to reduce the Closing Payment by an amount equal to the amount of such excess Liabilities.

          (b) The Closing Payment shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing as follows: within 60 days after the Closing, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a statement (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) calculating the balance sheet for the Company as of the Closing Date in a manner consistent with the Interim Balance Sheet Purchaser shall provide the Seller Representative and a single accounting firm for Sellers reasonable access to all (i) work papers and written procedures used to prepare the Closing Date Balance Sheet and (ii) Books and Records and personnel to the extent reasonably necessary to enable Seller and such accounting firm to conduct a sufficient review of the Closing Date Balance Sheet. If the Seller Representative disputes the computation of total Liabilities or work in process on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Seller Representative shall deliver to Purchaser within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet a statement (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth Seller’s calculation and describing in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of such different computation. The parties shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such differences within a period of 15 days after the Seller Representative has given the Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Date Balance Sheet within 15 days after Seller has given the Dispute Notice, unless Purchaser and the Seller Representative mutually agree to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Neutral Accountant shall resolve such differences promptly and in any event within 30 days and any expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be allocated between the Purchaser and Sellers so that the Sellers share of such expenses shall be in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed amount submitted to the Neutral Accountant that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers (as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant) bears to the total amount of such disputed amounts so submitted to the Neutral Accountant. If the amount of total Liabilities reflected on the Closing Date Balance (as agreed between the Seller Representative and Purchaser or determined by the Neutral Accountant) exceeds the total amount of such Liabilities set forth on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet by an amount that exceeds the net increase in the Company’s work in process, leasehold improvements and the cost basis of PP&E from the amounts reflect on the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, then the Sellers shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the difference. For purposes of this Section 2.2.3(b), “Liabilities” shall not include unknown and contingent liabilities for which Sellers or the Company could not have reasonably known at the time of Closing and would not be required to be set forth on a balance sheet as at the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP.

     2.4 Earnout Amounts. (a) The Earnout Amounts shall be determined as follows:

     (i) For the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on June 30, 2007 (the “First Earnout Period”), the Earnout Amount shall be thirty (30%) percent of the amount, if any, by which the Final Earnout Basis amount for such period exceeds $8 million, provided the Earnout Amount for the First Earnout Period shall not exceed $1,666,667.

     (ii) For the period commencing on July 1, 2007 until June 30, 2008 (the “Second Earnout Period”), the Earnout Amount shall be (i) thirty (30%) percent of the amount, if any, by which the Final Earnout Basis for such period exceeds $14 million, plus (y) thirty (30%) percent of the amount, if any, by which the Final Earnout Basis for the First Earnout Period is greater than $13,555,556, provided that the aggregate Earnout Amounts for the First Earnout Period and the Second Earnout Period shall not exceed $3,333,333.

Any such shares of Comstock Shares shall be payable and deliverable promptly following the applicable Final Earnout Amount Determination Date. Sellers agree that neither Purchaser nor any other Person makes any guarantee or representation to Sellers that any Earnout Amount will be realized. Any Earnout Amount that is paid in cash or Comstock Shares shall be treated as a component of the Purchase Price.

          (b) The Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller Representative within 60 days after the end of each Applicable Earnout Period, its calculation of the Earnout Basis for such period (each, an “Initial Earnout Basis Amount”) and the Earnout Amount, if any, payable in respect thereof. The Purchaser shall provide the Seller Representative and his accounting firm with reasonable access to all Books and Records and working papers to the extent reasonably necessary to enable the Seller Representative and such accounting firm to verify such calculations after the delivery thereof. Such calculations shall be binding on the parties unless the Seller Representative, within 30 days after the delivery of the calculations by the Purchaser, notifies the Purchaser in writing that it objects to any item or computation in connection with the calculations and specifies in reasonable detail the basis for such objection. If Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to agree upon the calculations within 20 days after any notice of objection has been given, then at the election of either the Seller Representative or Purchaser, the dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Accountant for a final determination in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.2.3(b), which determination shall be final and binding upon the parties absent fraud or manifest error. Any expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be allocated between the Purchaser and Sellers so that the Sellers share of such expenses shall be in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the disputed amount submitted to the Neutral Accountant that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers (as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant) bears to the total amount of such disputed amounts so submitted to the Neutral Accountant. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Applicable Earnout Period, (i) the “Final Earnout Basis Amount” for such period shall mean the Initial Earnout Basis Amount for such period, or such other amount as shall have been agreed to by Purchaser and the Seller Representative following a timely notice of objection as contemplated under this Section 2.5(b), or such other amount as determined by the Neutral Accountant, and (ii) the “Final Earnout Amount Determination Date” for such period shall mean: (x) the date that is 31 days after the delivery of Purchaser’s calculation of the Initial Earnout Basis Amount for such period to the Seller Representative, (y) such earlier date on which the Seller Representative delivers an irrevocable notice to Purchaser in writing that it agrees with Purchaser’s calculation of such Initial Earnout Basis Amount, or (z) if the Seller Representative timely objects to such Initial

Earnout Basis Amount, such date on which the Final Earnout Baisi Amount in respect thereof is otherwise determined.

          (c) From the Closing Date until December 31, 2008 (the “Earnout Period”), the Business shall be conducted in good faith as a going concern and in accordance with applicable Law. During such period (and, to the extent determined by Parent, thereafter), (x) Purchaser shall be controlled by a Board of Directors elected or appointed, directly or indirectly, by Purchaser (the “Board”) and (y) the operation of the Business shall be subject to the control of the Board and ultimate authority for all decisions affecting the Business shall rest with the Board. No portion of the Earnout Amounts or any other consideration not reflected as compensation in Board-approved budgets shall be offered or paid to employees or service providers to the Company, directly or indirectly by any Seller. Each Seller shall, so long as such Seller is an employee of the Company, fully disclose to the Board or its representative all interests in business matters or arrangements involving the Company.

          (d) If as a result of a Conversion Transaction substantially all of the Comstock Shares are converted into the right to receive equity securities that are traded on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Stock Market or another securities exchange or interdealer quotation system reasonably acceptable to the Seller Representative (“Listed Equity Securities”), then the Earnout Amounts with respect to which the Applicable Earnout Period has not been completed prior to the date of the Conversion Transaction shall be permitted to be satisfied through the issuance of Listed Equity Securities to the extent set forth above and, for such purpose, the Listed Equity Securities shall be valued at the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Listed Equity Securities of the applicable Final Earn-out Amount Determination Date for which they are issuable. In the event that, in any Conversion Transaction, substantially all of the outstanding Comstock Shares are converted into the right to receive equity securities that are not Listed Equity Securities (or are converted into the right to receive a combination of such equity securities and cash), then, until such equity securities constitute Listed Equity Securities, any Earnout Amount with respect to which the Applicable Earnout Period has not been completed prior to the date of the Conversion Transaction shall be required to be satisfied entirely in cash. In the event of Conversion Transaction as a result of which substantially all of the outstanding Comstock Shares are converted into the right to receive only cash, any Earnout Amount with respect to which the Applicable Earnout Period has not been completed prior to the date of the Conversion Transaction shall be required to be satisfied entirely in cash, Notwithstanding the two preceding sentences, if the surviving or transferee entity in such transaction has a class of Listed Equity Securities and provision is made for the Earnout Amounts to be satisfied through the issuance of such Listed Equity Securities, then any portion of an Earnout Amount with respect to which the Applicable Earnout Period has not been completed prior to the date of the Conversion Transaction shall be permitted to be satisfied through the issuance of Listed Equity Securities.

     2.5 Registration Covenant. In the event that Comstock Shares or other Listed Equity Securities are issued to the Sellers hereunder, the Purchaser undertakes to file (or to cause to be filed) promptly and in any event within sixty (60) days following the date of such issuance, and to use commercially reasonable best efforts to cause to become effective promptly thereafter, a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to permit the resale of such securities by the Sellers. The parties will act in good faith and

cooperate in accordance with customary practice in connection with such registration, including in the case of the Sellers by providing such information as the Purchaser may reasonably request for inclusion in such registration statement. Purchaser will use commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Registration Statement to remain effective for the shorter of the period expiring (A) twelve (12) months following the Closing or (B) the date on which all shares comprising the Stock Consideration may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act in any three-month period; and (ii) cause the shares of the Stock Consideration to be approved for listing on the applicable primary exchange or quotation system on such such shares shall then be traded. Purchaser shall promptly: (x) notify the Sellers after it has received notice of the time when such Registration Statement has been declared effective or any supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such Registration Statement has been filed; (y) notify the Sellers of any request by the SEC for the amending or supplementing of such Registration Statement or prospectus or if additional information is required to be filed in connection with such Registration Statement, and shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendment or supplement or such additional information; and (z) notify the Sellers of Purchaser’s receipt of, or knowledge of the issuance of, any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of any such Registration Statement and use Purchaser’s commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order has been issued.

All costs and expenses incurred in connection with the registration pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be borne by Purchaser, except that all selling discounts and commissions (if any) and stock transfer taxes applicable to the shares covered by the Registration Statement and all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Sellers relating thereto shall be borne by the Sellers.

     2.6 Transferability; Registration; Legending of Comstock Shares and Listed Equity Securities.

     (a) Sellers acknowledge that any Comstock Shares and the Listed Equity Securities are being acquired pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and that such Comstock Shares and any Listed Equity Securities may be transferred only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from registration under the Securities Act. No Seller shall be permitted to transfer any Purchaser or Listed Equity Securities in the absence of an effective registration statement unless such Seller has furnished Purchaser with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, that such disposition does not require registration of such Comstock Shares or Listed Equity Securities under the Securities Act.

     (b) It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Comstock Shares and the Listed Equity Securities shall, until they have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, bear a legend to the effect set forth below:

NEITHER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES FOR WHICH THEY ARE EXCHANGEABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO

OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTES OF SUCH ACT.

The certificates evidencing the Comstock Shares and the Listed Equity Securities may also bear any legends required by applicable blue sky laws.

     2.7 Seller Representative. Each Seller irrevocably designates the Seller Representative to represent such Seller and act as the attorney-in-fact and agent for and on behalf of such Seller with respect to any and all matters relating to, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement, including for service of process.

The Seller Representative will have no liability to any Seller in taking any action or omitting to take action on behalf of any Seller absent gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     7.6 Further Assurances The parties shall execute such further documents, and perform such further acts, as may be necessary to transfer and convey the Shares to Purchaser, on the terms herein contained, and to otherwise comply with the terms of this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

     7.7 Right of First Offer.

     (a) Right of First Offer. Sellers agree that during the period from the Closing Date to the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Right of First Offer Period”), Sellers shall not, and Sellers shall cause any Affiliate not to, offer to sell or sell any Covered Properties without first offering such Covered Properties for sale to Purchaser pursuant to the procedures described below (the “Right of First Offer”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Sellers nor the Affiliate shall be required to offer any Covered Properties to Purchaser hereunder if such Covered Properties (i) are being transferred to another Affiliate or to any other Seller, or (ii) if such Covered Properties are those presently under contract with Bill Clark Homes of Raleigh, LLC, a description of which is set forth in Schedule 7.7. For the purposes of this Section 7.7, “Covered Properties” means (i) any for sale Developed Lots or Undeveloped Lots that are developed by Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers in those tracts of property identified as Cleveland Springs Subdivision, Phases 2, 3, and 4, as shown in Book of Maps 3055 Page 950, Book of Maps 2826 Page 190, and Book of Maps 2826 Page 192, all in the Johnston County, North Carolina Register of Deeds Office (“Cleveland Springs”), and (ii) any for sale Developed Lots that are developed by Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers in that tract of property identified as Lot 1, Glenwood Station West, as shown in Book of Maps 2006, Page 71, Wake County, North Carolina Register of Deeds Office (“Glenwood Station”), whether for attached or detached housing (and any for sale of such Glenwood Station property in its entirety in raw undeveloped form for a purchase price of $4.1 million or less). In the event that a Seller or an Affiliate of Seller is developing a mixed use project, only the lots included therein that would constitute Covered Properties as defined above shall be deemed Covered Properties.

     (b) Offer. Prior to offering for sale any Covered Properties, the Sellers shall (or the Sellers shall cause the Affiliate to) provide written notice to Purchaser describing such Covered Properties (the “Offered Properties”) and stating the lot prices, the number of lots to be sold, and other material terms at which the Sellers (or the Affiliate) offers to sell the Offered Properties to Purchaser (the “Offer”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the lot prices offered to Purchaser in the Offer for Developed Lots in Cleveland Springs shall be $43,000.00 per lot plus (a) the actual cost of sewer tap fees per lot previously paid (currently $2,400.00 per lot),(b) from the date of Closing, a 2% escalator applied semiannually on each December 31 and June 30 following the Closing,(c) the actual cost of any new governmental fees not in existence on the date of Closing, and (d) any increases in excess of 4% per annum in any of the catagories of expense set forth on Schedule 7.7 above the budgeted amounts therefore set forth on Schedule 7.7; (ii) the lot prices offered to Purchaser in the Offer for Undeveloped Lots in Cleveland Springs shall be $23,000.00 per lot plus (a) the actual cost of sewer tap fees per lot previously paid (currently $2,400.00) per lot, (b) from the date of Closing, a 2% escalator applied semiannually on each December 31 and June 30 following the Closing, and (c) reimbursement for the actual costs of Improvements associated with the Undeveloped Lots; (iii) the lot prices offered to Purchaser in the Offer for any for sale Developed Lots in Glenwood Station shall be $55,000.00 per lot plus (a) from the date of Closing, a 2% escalator applied semiannually on each December 31 and June 30 following the Closing, (b) the actual cost of any new governmental fees not in existence on the day of Closing and (c) any increases in excess of 4% per annum in any of the categories of expense set forth on Schedule 7.7 above the budgeted amounts therefore set forth on Schedule 7.7. Sellers further agree that, prior to the termination of the Right of First Offer Period, they will have (or caused the Affiliate to have) presented an Offer to Purchaser for all the Cleveland Springs property, either as Developed Lots or Undeveloped Lots in accordance with the terms and provisions herein.

     (c) Evaluation Notice. Within ten (10) days following receipt of the Initial Offer, Purchaser shall notify Sellers in writing whether or not Purchaser intends to evaluate the Offered Properties (an “Evaluation Notice”). If the Evaluation Notice indicates that Purchaser does not wish to evaluate the Offered Properties or if Purchaser fails to deliver an Evaluation Notice to Sellers within such ten (10) day period, Sellers (or the Affiliate) shall be free to negotiate and conclude a sale, as specified in the Offer, of the Offered Properties with other Persons for a period of one (1) year following receipt by the Purchaser of the Offer. If the Evaluation Notice is received by Sellers within such ten (10) day period and it indicates that Purchaser wishes to evaluate the Offered Properties, then for thirty (30) days following receipt by Sellers of the Evaluation Notice, Purchaser shall have the right to evaluate the Offered Properties (the “Evaluation Period”) and the remainder of this Section 7.7 shall apply.

     (d) Certain Information. During the first ten (10) days of the Evaluation Period, Sellers shall, or shall cause the Affiliate to, promptly provide Purchaser with such documents and information concerning the Offered Properties as Purchaser shall reasonably request to the extent such documents and information are possessed by or reasonably available (without cost or expense) to Sellers and the Affiliate. The type of information to be provided shall include the square footage minimums applicable to such lots and other restrictions (including deed restrictions, if applicable) relating to such lots. Neither the Sellers nor any Affiliate makes or

shall be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of such documents and information, provided that this will not prevent disclosure to Purchaser to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or court order.

     (e) Acceptance; Rejection; Matching. Prior to the end of the Evaluation Period, Purchaser shall either accept or reject the Offer. If Purchaser accepts the Offer, Sellers and Purchaser shall, and Sellers shall cause the Affiliate to conclude the sale of such Offered Properties on the terms contained in the Offer. If Purchaser rejects the Offer, Sellers (or the Affiliate) shall be free to negotiate with, and sell, as specified in the Offer, the Offered Properties to other Persons; provided, that: (i) Sellers may not (or Sellers shall cause the Affiliate not to) accept any offer to purchase the Offered Properties from any other Person during the Right of First Offer Period without first re-offering the Offered Properties on the same terms to Purchaser if the other offer contains a closing sales price for the Offered Properties that is less than the closing sales price contained in the Offer, or contains terms that in the aggregate are materially less favorable to Sellers (or the Affiliate). For this purpose, if the price contained in either the Offer or in the other offer is payable over time in whole or in part (the “financed portion”), then the present value of the financed portion shall be calculated using an 8% discount rate, and such present value shall be deemed to be included in the “price” for comparison purposes; and (ii) Sellers shall be required to give (or Sellers shall cause the Affiliate to give) to Purchaser ten (10) days to match any offer described in Section 7.7 (e)(i) above.

     (f) Reoffer in Certain Circumstance. Subject to the terms of Section 7.7(g), Sellers shall be required to (and shall cause the Affiliate to) offer Purchaser another Evaluation Period in accordance with this Section 7.7 with respect to any Offered Properties which the Sellers or an Affiliate, as the case may be, is continuing to offer for sale if such Offered Properties have not been sold by the later of one (1) year after the expiration of (i) the previous Evaluation Period with respect to such Offered Properties or (ii) if applicable, to such Offered Properties, the ten (10) day match period described in Section 7.7(e)(ii).

     (g) Termination of Right of First Offer. In the event of a breach or default by Purchaser under (i) an agreement for purchase and sale for any of the Offered Properties or (ii) any obligations or restrictions imposed by the documents of conveyance of any Offered Properties to Purchaser (the Offered Properties described in (i) or (ii) being the “Subject Offered Properties”) and such breach or default is not cured within any applicable cure period provided in the applicable agreement or document and after any notice required by any such agreement or document has been given, the provisions of this Section 7.7 shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect with respect to all Subject Offered Properties and with respect to all other Covered Properties located in the project(s) in which the Subject Offered Properties are located.

     (h) No Obligation to Sell. It is understood that except for the provisions of the last sentence of Section 7.7(b) above, neither Sellers nor any Affiliate has an obligation to market or sell any Covered Properties (provided that the foregoing shall not relieve the Sellers from complying with this Section 7.7 if they decide to offer for sale any Covered Properties) or to accept any offer made by Purchaser.

          9.1.3 Taxes which are unpaid as of the Closing Date and which are imposed on the Company with respect to (a) any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, or (b) the pre-Closing portion of any taxable period which begins before, and ends after, the Closing Date, to the extent the liability for such Taxes exceeds the accrual for Taxes contained on the Company’s Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s obligations (but not Sellers’ obligations) to indemnify Purchaser under this Section 9.1 shall terminate at the Closing.

     9.2 Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligations Purchaser shall indemnify, save and keep each Seller Indemnitee harmless against and from all Damages sustained or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee, as a result of, or arising out of or by virtue of:

     9.3 Cooperation Subject to the provisions of Section 9.4, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, and if said right is exercised, the parties shall cooperate in the investigation and defense of said Third Party Claim. Any party seeking indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this Article IX in respect of any breach of representation and warranty shall give notice in writing to the Indemnifying Party on or before the applicable time periods specified in Section 9.6.1 (except in the case of any Unlimited Claims.

     9.4 Third Party Claims Promptly after the receipt of written or verbal notice of a Third Party Claim, the party receiving the notice of the Third Party Claim shall notify the other party of its existence setting forth with reasonable specificity the facts and circumstances of which such party has received notice, and if the party giving such notice is an Indemnified Party, specifying the basis hereunder upon which the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification is asserted; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall, upon reasonable notice, tender the defense of a Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party. If:

          9.4.1 the defense of a Third Party Claim is so tendered and within 30 days thereafter such tender is accepted without qualification by the Indemnifying Party; or

          9.4.2 within 30 days after the date on which written notice of a Third Party Claim has been given pursuant to this Section 9.4, the Indemnifying Party shall acknowledge without qualification its indemnification obligations as provided in this Article IX in writing to the Indemnified Party and accept the defense thereof;

then, except as herein provided, the Indemnified Party shall not, and the Indemnifying Party shall, have the right to contest, defend, litigate or settle such Third Party Claim. In all other cases, the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to contest, defend, litigate or settle such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel at its own expense in any contest, defense, litigation or settlement conducted by the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to reimbursement therefor if the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled, or shall lose its right, to contest, defend, litigate and settle the Third Party Claim as herein provided. ,The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled, or shall lose its right, as applicable, to contest, defend, litigate and settle a Third Party Claim if (a) there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, (b) the Indemnifying Party shall fail to diligently contest the Third Party Claim, (c) such Third Party Claim involves remedies or disputes other than claims for monetary damages, or (d) such Third Party Claim or the resolution thereof could impair ongoing business relationships with any material customer, supplier, any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, or any other Person doing business with the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall be provided a reasonable opportunity to investigate, respond to and effect repairs and other cures in relation to construction warranty claims so long as Sellers shall pursue such matters promptly and in a commercially reasonable manner. So long as the Indemnifying Party is entitled and has not lost its right and/or obligation to contest, defend, litigate and settle as herein provided, the Indemnifying Party shall have the exclusive right to contest, defend and litigate the Third Party Claim and shall have the exclusive right, in its discretion exercised in good faith, and upon the advice of counsel, to settle any such matter, either before or after the initiation of litigation, at such time and upon such terms as it deems fair and reasonable, provided that (i) at least ten days prior to any such settlement, written notice of its intention to settle shall be given to the Indemnified Party, (ii) such settlement includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from such Third Party Claim, (iii) such settlement does not impose any obligations of any kind upon the

Indemnified Party and (iv) such settlement does not otherwise impair ongoing business relationships with any material customer, supplier, any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, or any other Person doing business with the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

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 9.4, or if, in accordance with the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled or shall lose its right to contest, defend, litigate and settle such a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, without prejudice to its right of indemnification hereunder, in its discretion exercised in good faith and upon the advice of counsel, 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. If, pursuant to this Section 9.4, the Indemnified Party so contests, defends, litigates or settles a Third Party Claim for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for the reasonable attorneys’ fees and other expenses of contesting, defending, litigating and/or settling the Third Party Claim which are incurred from time to time, forthwith following the presentation to the Indemnifying Party of itemized bills for said attorneys’ fees and other expenses.

The covenants and other agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date until they are otherwise terminated, whether by their terms or as a matter of applicable law.

          9.6.2 The provisions for indemnity from the Sellers under Section 9.1.1 shall be effective only when the aggregate amount of all Damages for which indemnification is sought, either for a particular claim, a series of related claims or otherwise, exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which case the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnitees’ aggregate Damages under this Section in excess of the amount of the Basket. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Basket shall not apply to claims arising from the breach of Sections (a) 3.3.1 (Organization, Existence and Good Standing), (b) 3.3.3 (Power and Authority), (c) 3.3.4 (Enforceability), (d) 3.3.8 (Subsidiaries and Affiliates), (e) 3.3.11 (Capitalization and title to Shares), (f) 3.3.20 (Taxes), (g) 3.3.26 (Employee Benefit Plans), or

(h) 3.3.31 (Environmental Matters) (collectively, the claims in clauses (a)-(h) of this sub-Section are “Unlimited Claims”). The indemnification obligations of the Sellers shall not exceed the aggregate amount of (x) $2,000,000 in respect of all Damages (other than Damages arising from any Unlimited Claims) plus the right of the Purchaser to offset up to an additional $2,000,000 of Earnout Amounts otherwise due and payable hereunder and (y) the Purchase Price, in respect of the Unlimited Claims (together, the limitations in clauses (x) and (y) of this sub-Section constitute the “Liability Cap”). The indemnification obligations of the Sellers hereunder shall be several, and limited to each such Seller’s respective percentage allocation, as set forth in Schedule 2.2.1, of the Liability Cap.

          9.6.3 The provisions for indemnity from the Purchasers under Section 9.2.1 shall be effective only when the aggregate amount of all Damages for which indemnification is sought, either for a particular claim, a series of related claims or otherwise, exceeds the Basket, in which case the Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification of the Seller Indemnitees’ aggregate Damages under this Section, excluding the amount of the Basket. The indemnification obligations of the Purchaser (excluding claims arising from a breach of (a) Section 3.2.1, (b) Section 3.2.2, (c) Section 3.2.3, (d) Article II and (e) monetary obligations as set forth in this Agreement) shall not exceed the Liability Cap.

     9.7 Set-off

          9.7.1 Without limiting any other rights or remedies available to Purchaser, but at all times subject to the Basket and Liability Cap, to the extent applicable, , Purchaser may set-off and recoup any Damages to which any Purchaser Indemnitee may be entitled to be reimbursed pursuant to this Article IX against the Holdback, the Earnout Amounts and any other amount to which each Seller may be entitled to under this Agreement, provided Sellers are given written notice of the factual basis for such set-off and fifteen (15) days to dispute such claim. The good faith exercise of such right of set-off by Purchaser will not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Subject to the Basket, the Liability Cap, and consistent with any other applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, if the Holdback and any Earnout Amounts then due are insufficient to set-off any Damages any Purchaser Indemnitee may be entitled to, Purchaser may take any action or exercise any remedy available to it by appropriate legal proceedings to collect the Damages. All set-offs and recoupments against the Holdback and any Earnout Amounts shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price. In the event Purchaser exercises set-off rights with respect to a disputed claim, at Sellers’ request Purchaser shall enter into reasonable arrangements to cause such disputed property to be held in a third party escrow during the period of the dispute, and any amounts reserved, whether or not requested to be so held in escrow, shall not be included in determining the amount of the Holdback for purposes of the Maximum Holdback and release provisions in Section 2.2.4.
