Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement.
On May 28, 2026, FG Merger II Corp. (“FGMC”) and BOXABL Inc. (“BOXABL”), entered into an agreement with Atsion Opportunity Fund LLC – Series 2 (“Atsion”) for an OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”). For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, “Counterparty” refers to FGMC prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and to FGMC (to be renamed “BOXABL Inc.”) following the consummation of the Business Combination. Immediately after entry into the Forward Purchase Agreement, the parties to the Forward Purchase Agreement entered into a Novation Agreement dated May 28, 2026 (the “Novation Agreement”), pursuant to which one-half of the Forward Purchase Agreement was novated to FG Capital Partners, LLC (“FGCP”, and collectively with Atsion, the “Seller”). FGCP is affiliated with Larry G. Swets, Jr., Hassan R. Baqar, Scott D Wollney and Richard E. Govignon, each an officer or director of the FGMC, resulting in the entry into the Novation Agreement being a related party transaction. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement.
The Forward Purchase Agreement is not being entered into to provide any capital to ensure that FGMC meets the minimum cash requirements for its initial business combination. Instead, FGMC entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement to provide access to potential additional growth capital in replacement of redeemed Trust assets.
Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller intended, but was not obligated, to purchase and hold up to 3,000,000 shares of FGMC common stock prior to the closing date of the Business Combination (the “Closing Date”).
The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that Seller shall be prepaid an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice and (ii) the per share redemption price payable to redeeming shareholders in connection with the Business Combination (the “Initial Price”). Counterparty will pay to the Seller the Prepayment Amount directly from the Trust Account no later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the Closing Date, and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination.
From time to time and on any date following the Closing Date (any such date, an “OET Date”), the Seller may terminate the Forward Purchase Agreement in whole or in part with respect to any Shares upon written notice to Counterparty (an “OET Notice”), specifying the number of Shares by which the number of Shares shall be reduced (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”). “Terminated Shares” includes (i) Shares specified in an OET Notice and (ii) any Recycled Shares sold by Seller during the term of the Transaction, unless Counterparty and Seller agree in writing to an alternative sale reconciliation procedure. Seller will pay to Counterparty an amount equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reference Price in respect of such OET Date (the “Termination Price”) (an “Early Termination Obligation”). The Reference Price is initially $10.00, and may be reduced by Counterparty one time in any twenty-one-day period. The effect of an OET Notice will be to reduce the Number of Shares by the number of Terminated Shares specified in such OET Notice with effect as of the related OET Date.
The Forward Purchase Agreement valuation date shall be 90 days following the closing of the Business Combination (the “Valuation Date”), although Counterparty shall have the right to extend the Valuation Date for an additional 90 days up to two times (for up to 180 additional days in total) upon ten Exchange Business Days’ notice to the Seller. On the Cash Settlement Payment Date, which is the tenth trading day immediately following the Maturity Date (as described below), the Seller will remit to the Counterparty an amount equal to (a) the product of (i) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date, multiplied by (ii) the average daily VWAP Price over the Valuation Period, less (b) the Settlement Amount Adjustment. The Settlement Amount Adjustment is a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date, multiplied by (ii) $0.80. The Valuation Period commences on the first Exchange Business Day immediately following the Valuation Date and ends 15 trading days after such date.
Seller agreed to waive any redemption rights under the Counterparty’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with respect to the Shares during the term of the Forward Purchase Agreement. Such waiver may reduce the number of shares of Counterparty common stock redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, and such reduction could alter the perception of the potential strength of the Business Combination. The Forward Purchase Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken, to comply with the requirements of all tender offer regulations applicable to the Business Combination, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The foregoing summary of the Forward Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Forward Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

We have based these forward-looking statements on current expectations and projections about future events. These statements include: projections of market opportunity and market share; estimates of customer adoption rates and usage patterns; projections of development and commercialization costs and timelines; expectations regarding BOXABL’s ability to execute its business model and the expected financial benefits of such model; expectations regarding BOXABL’s ability to attract, retain, and expand its customer base; BOXABL’s deployment of Casita; BOXABL’s expectations concerning relationships with strategic partners, suppliers, governments, regulatory bodies and other third parties; future ventures or investments in companies, products, services, or technologies; development of favorable regulations and government incentives affecting BOXABL’s markets; the potential benefits of the proposed transaction and expectations related to its terms and timing; BOXABL’s plans to reorganize its operations into a flatter structure and to enhance cross-functional integration through increased use of real-time data and analytics; and the potential for BOXABL to increase in value.
These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions, many of which are beyond the control of BOXABL and FGMC.
These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include: that BOXABL is pursuing an emerging technology, faces significant technical challenges and may not achieve commercialization or market acceptance; BOXABL’s historical net losses and limited operating history; BOXABL’s expectations regarding future financial performance, capital requirements and unit economics; BOXABL’s use and reporting of business and operational metrics; BOXABL’s competitive landscape; BOXABL’s dependence on members of its senior management and its ability to attract and retain qualified personnel; the capital requirements of BOXABL’s business plans and the potential need for additional future financing; BOXABL’s ability to manage growth and expand its operations; potential future acquisitions or investments in companies, products, services or technologies; BOXABL’s reliance on strategic partners and other third parties; BOXABL’s ability to maintain, protect and defend its intellectual property rights; risks associated with privacy, data protection or cybersecurity incidents and related regulations; the use and regulation of artificial intelligence and machine learning; uncertainty or changes with respect to laws and regulations; uncertainty or changes with respect to taxes, trade conditions and the macroeconomic environment; the combined company’s ability to maintain internal control over financial reporting and operate a public company; the possibility that required regulatory approvals for the proposed transaction are delayed or are not obtained, which could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the proposed transaction; the risk that shareholders of FGMC could elect to have their shares redeemed, leaving the combined company with insufficient cash to execute its business plans; the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the outcome of any legal proceedings or government investigations that may be commenced against BOXABL or FGMC; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction; the ability of FGMC or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the proposed transaction or in the future; and other factors described in FGMC’s filings with the SEC. Additional information concerning these and other factors that may impact such forward-looking statements can be found in filings and potential filings by BOXABL, FGMC or the combined company resulting from the proposed transaction with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors.” If any of these risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. In addition, these statements reflect the expectations, plans and forecasts of BOXABL’s and FGMC’s management as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K; subsequent events and developments may cause their assessments to change. While BOXABL and FGMC may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon these statements.
In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject.

| To: | FG Merger II Corp., a Nevada corporation (“FGMC”) and BOXABL Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Target”). |

| Re: | OTC Equity Prepaid Forward Transaction |
The purpose of this agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction (the “Transaction”) entered into between Seller, FGMC and Target on the Trade Date specified below. The term “Counterparty” refers to FGMC until the Business Combination (as defined below), then to Pubco (as defined below), following the Business Combination. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the BCA (as defined below), FG Merger Sub II Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FGMC (“Merger Sub”), will merge with and into Target, with Target surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FGMC. In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, FGMC will change its corporate name to “BOXABL Inc.” (“Pubco”) (each such transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA, collectively, the “Business Combination”). Certain terms of the Transaction shall be as set forth in this Confirmation, with additional terms as set forth in a pricing date notice (the “Pricing Date Notice”) in the form of Schedule A hereto. This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice(s), constitutes a “Confirmation” and the Transaction constitutes a separate “Transaction” as referred to in the ISDA Form (as defined below).
This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notices, evidences a complete binding agreement between Seller, FGMC and Target as to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.
The 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions”), each as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. If there is any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation governs. If, in relation to the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, there is any inconsistency between the ISDA Form, this Confirmation (including the Pricing Date Notice), the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) this Confirmation (including the Pricing Date Notice(s)); (ii) the Equity Definitions; (iii) the Swap Definitions; and (iv) the ISDA Form.
This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice, shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the “ISDA Form”) as if Seller, Target and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except as set forth herein under “Schedule Provisions”) on the Trade Date of the Transaction.
The terms of the particular Transaction to which this Confirmation relates are as follows.

Subject to Counterparty receiving a Pricing Date Notice, Counterparty will pay the Prepayment Amount by bank wire in immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller from the Counterparty’s Trust Account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company holding the net proceeds of the sale of the units in Counterparty’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), no later than the earlier of (a) one Local Business Day after the Closing Date and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination.
Counterparty shall provide (i) notice to Counterparty’s trustee of the entrance into this Confirmation no later than one Local Business Day following the date hereof, with copy to Seller and Seller’s outside legal counsel, and (ii) Seller and Seller’s outside legal counsel, a final draft of the flow of funds from the Trust Account one Local Business Day prior to the closing of the Business Combination itemizing the Prepayment Amount due to Seller; provided, that Seller shall be invited and permitted to attend any closing call in connection with the Business Combination. |
| Variable Obligation: | Not applicable. |
| Exchanges: | Nasdaq Stock Market LLC |

Reimbursement of Legal Fees and Other Expenses provided herein shall be paid by the Counterparty by a reduction in the Number of Shares equal to the quotient of (x) the amounts described in (a) and (b) in the sentence immediately above divided by (y) the lowest VWAP of the Shares during the first three (3) trading days following the completion of the Business Combination (the “Fee Shares”); provided that as of the closing of the Business Combination the Number of Shares will be reduced by the number of Fee Shares. |
| Settlement Terms | |
| Settlement Method Election: | Not Applicable. |
| Settlement Method: | Cash Settlement. |
| Settlement Amount: | A cash amount equal to (1) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date, multiplied by the average daily VWAP Price over the Valuation Period less (2) the Settlement Amount Adjustment. |
| Settlement Amount Adjustment: | A cash amount equal to the product of (1) the Number of Shares as of the Valuation Date, multiplied by (2) $0.80. |
| Valuation Period: | The period of 15 trading days commencing on the first Exchange Business Day immediately following the Valuation Date (or if the Valuation Date is not an Exchange Business Day, the first Exchange Business Day thereafter). The concluding Exchange Business Day of the Valuation Period will be the “Maturity Date.” |
| Settlement Currency: | USD. |
| Cash Settlement Payment Date: | The 10th trading day immediately following the Maturity Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Seller will remit to the Counterparty on the Cash Settlement Payment Date an amount equal to the Settlement Amount and will not otherwise be required to return to the Counterparty any of the Prepayment Amount or Shares; provided, that if the Settlement Amount is a negative number neither the Seller nor the Counterparty shall be liable to the other party for any payment under this section. |
| Excess Dividend Amount: | Ex Amount. |
| Optional Early Termination: | From time to time and on any date following the Business Combination and following an OET Notice regarding Recycled Shares (any such date, an “OET Date”) and subject to the terms and conditions below, Seller may terminate the Transaction in whole or in part by providing written notice to Counterparty (the “OET Notice”), that specifies the quantity of Shares and the amount by which the Number of Shares shall be reduced (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”). “Terminated Shares” includes (i) Shares specified in an OET Notice and (ii) any Recycled Shares sold by Seller during the term of the Transaction unless Counterparty and Seller agree in writing that a sale of Shares will be reconciled under an alternative sale reconciliation procedure. Seller shall deliver to Counterparty, no later than one Local Business Day following any sale of Recycled Shares, written notice setting forth the number of Shares sold and the date of such sale or disposition. Unless Counterparty and Seller agree in writing to an alternative sale reconciliation procedure, such notice shall be deemed to be an OET Notice with respect to such Shares, and the effect of such deemed OET Notice shall be to reduce the Number of Shares by the number of Terminated Shares specified in such notice with effect as of the relevant sale date. As of each OET Date, Counterparty shall be entitled to an amount from Seller, and the Seller shall pay to Counterparty an amount, equal to the product of (x) the number of Terminated Shares and (y) the Reference Price in respect of such OET Date (an “Early Termination Obligation”). Seller shall pay each Early Termination Obligation to an account designated by Counterparty on the first Payment Date following the OET Date. The remainder of the Transaction, if any, shall continue in accordance with its terms. For the avoidance of doubt, no other amounts as may be set forth in Section 16.1 and 18.1 of the Swap Definitions shall be due to Counterparty upon an Optional Early Termination. For the sake of clarity, the Reference Price used for determining the Early Termination Obligation shall be the Reference Price in effect at the time of the OET Date, and not as of the date of any sale of Shares made by the Seller that represent Terminated Shares. |

In the event that a party (the “Disputing Party”) does not agree with any determination made (or the failure to make any determination) by the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party, the Disputing Party shall have the right to require that the Calculation Agent or the Determining Party, as applicable, have such determination reviewed by a disinterested third party that is a dealer in derivatives of the type that is the subject of the dispute and that is not an Affiliate of either party (a “Third Party Dealer”). Such Third Party Dealer shall be jointly selected by the parties within one Local Business Day after the Disputing Party’s exercise of its rights hereunder (once selected, such Third Party Dealer shall be the “Substitute Calculation Agent” or “Substitute Determining Party,” as applicable). If the parties are unable to agree on a Substitute Calculation Agent or Substitute Determining Party, as applicable, within the prescribed time, each of the parties shall elect a Third Party Dealer and such two dealers shall agree on a Third Party Dealer by the end of the subsequent Local Business Day. Such Third Party Dealer shall be deemed to be the Substitute Calculation Agent or Substitute Determining Party, as applicable.

| h. | Disclosure. Counterparty agrees to comply with applicable SEC guidance in respect of disclosure of the Transactions. Counterparty shall provide Seller with all public disclosure relating to the Transaction, including the press release, Form 8-K and any other filing that announces the Transaction, for Seller’s review and comment a reasonable period before filing or release to the extent practicable under applicable SEC timing requirements, and Counterparty shall consider in good faith any timely comments received from Seller; provided that Counterparty and its counsel shall retain final control over the content and timing of any such disclosure.

| l. | No conflicts. The execution and delivery by Counterparty and Target of, and the performance by each of Counterparty and Target of its obligations under, the Transaction and the Confirmation and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Confirmation, including the payments and share issuances hereunder, do not and will not result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under, nor constitute any event which, with notice, lapse of time or both, would result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default under or give the holder of any indebtedness (or a person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption or repayment of all or a part of such indebtedness under, or result in the creation or imposition of a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property or assets of Counterparty, Target or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to: (i) any provision of applicable law, (ii) the organizational documents of any of Counterparty, Target or any of their respective subsidiaries, (iii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement or other evidence of indebtedness, or any license, lease, contract or other agreement or instrument binding upon Counterparty, Target or any of their respective subsidiaries, or (iv) any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over the Counterparty, Target or any of their respective subsidiaries, and no consent, approval, authorization or order of, or qualification with, any governmental body or agency is required for the performance by the Counterparty or Target of their respective obligations under the Confirmation, except as have been obtained.

Other Provisions
| 1. | Rule 10b-5. |
| a. | Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such securities or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty has not entered into or altered, and agrees that Counterparty will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. |
| b. | Counterparty agrees that it will not seek to control or influence Seller’s decision to make any “purchases or sales” under the Transaction, including, without limitation, Seller’s decision to enter into any hedging transactions. Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Confirmation and the Transaction under the federal securities laws, including without limitation, the prohibitions on manipulative and deceptive devices under the Exchange Act. |
| c. | Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a written trading plan for trading securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws, including without limitation the prohibition on manipulative and deceptive devises under the Exchange Act and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares. |
| 2. | Repurchase Notices. Counterparty shall, on any day on which Counterparty effects any repurchase of Shares (other than in connection with a Counterparty equity compensation program (e.g., to fund taxes in connection with vested securities under a Counterparty equity incentive plan as compensation)), promptly give Seller a written notice of such repurchase (a “Repurchase Notice”), if following such repurchase, the number of outstanding Shares as determined on such day is (i) less than the number of Shares outstanding that would result in the percentage of total Shares outstanding represented by the number of Shares underlying the Transaction increasing by 0.10% (in the case of the first such notice) or (ii) thereafter more than the number of Shares that would need to be repurchased to result in the percentage of total Shares outstanding represented by the number of Shares underlying the Transaction increasing by a further 0.10% less than the number of Shares included in the immediately preceding Repurchase Notice; provided, that Counterparty agrees that this information does not constitute material non-public information; provided further if this information shall be material non-public information, it shall publicly disclosed immediately. |
| 3. | Transfer or Assignment. Seller may not transfer or assign its rights or duties under this Confirmation without Counterparty’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that Seller may transfer or assign its rights and duties to an Affiliate or other assignee that is creditworthy, legally compliant and capable of performing Seller’s obligations under this Confirmation if Seller provides prior written notice to Counterparty; provided that Seller shall have no liability for any and all obligations so transferred or assigned. If at any time following the closing of the Business Combination at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 9.9% (provided that the Counterparty is on such date a foreign private issuer (as defined by Rule 405 under the Securities Act)), or (B) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit, if any applies (any such condition described in clause (A) or (B), an “Excess Ownership Position”), Seller is unable, after using commercially reasonable efforts, to effect a permitted transfer or assignment of a portion of the Transaction such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Seller may designate any Local Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Seller so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, it shall deliver to Counterparty on the Early Termination Date a number of Shares equal to the Terminated Portion, and Seller shall be permitted to retain the |
Prepayment Amount in respect of such Shares (equal to the number of Shares in the Terminated Portion times the Initial Price) and shall have no obligation to make payment to Counterparty in respect of those Shares. The Number of Shares will be reduced by the number of Shares in any Terminated Portion. The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, as determined by Seller, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Seller and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Seller under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act) with Seller directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) (the “Seller Group” ) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.
The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Seller and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Seller and any group (however designated) of which Seller is a member (Seller or any such person or group, a “Seller Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as reasonably determined by Seller in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, upon Counterparty’s reasonable request.
The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting (other than on Schedule 13D or 13G) or registration obligations or other requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Seller Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Seller Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as reasonably determined by Seller in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, upon Counterparty’s reasonable request, minus (B) 0.1% of the number of Shares outstanding.
| 4. | Indemnification. Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and its assignees and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, joint or several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, whether arising out of any action between any of the Indemnified Parties and the Counterparty or between any of the Indemnified Parties and any third party, or otherwise) to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other statute or at common law or otherwise or under the laws of foreign countries, arising out of or based upon the Transaction, including the execution or delivery of this Confirmation, the performance by Counterparty of its obligations under the Transaction, any material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty made by Counterparty or Target in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form, regulatory filings and submissions made by or on behalf of the Counterparty related to the Transaction (other than as relates to any information provided in writing by or on behalf of Seller or its Affiliates for inclusion in such filing or submission), or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement press release, filings or other document, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is related to the manner in which Seller sells, or arising out of any sales by Seller of, any Shares, including the Recycled Shares or found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Seller’s material breach of any covenant, representation or other obligation in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form or from Seller’s fraud, wilful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in performing the services that are subject of the Transaction. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition (and in addition to any other Reimbursement of Legal Fees and other Expenses contemplated by this Confirmation), Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable, out-of-pocket, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defence or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify Counterparty of the applicable claim, and Counterparty shall be entitled to control the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that Counterparty shall not settle any claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party and does not impose any admission, non-monetary obligation or restriction on such Indemnified Party. Counterparty’s aggregate liability under this paragraph shall not exceed the Prepayment Amount, except in the case of Counterparty’s fraud, willful misconduct or intentional breach. Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter referred to in this Confirmation except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by Counterparty result from such Indemnified Party’s breach of any covenant, representation or other obligation in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form or from the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or bad faith of the Indemnified Party or breach of any U.S. federal or state securities laws or the rules, regulations or applicable interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
