EDI International PC, et al.*, Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. 19STCV21725 (the "Lawsuit"), which resulted in judgment in favor of SG Blocks and against EDI/PVE (the "Judgment"), which the Parties have appealed, and which appeals are currently pending (the "Appeals").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**B.** The Parties have agreed to settle all matters related to the Litigation, the Judgment, and the Appeals, and this written Agreement memorialized the agreement between the Parties.

**<u>TERMS</u>**

**NOW, THEREFORE**, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1. Settlement Payment.** EDI/PVE agree to pay SG Blocks the sum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) (the "Settlement Amount"). The Settlement Amount shall be paid by EDI/PVE within the <u>later of</u>: (a) thirty (30) days from August 27, 2025, or (b) seven (7) business days after EDI/PVE receives (i) a fully executed, mutually acceptable copy of this Settlement Agreement (acceptance and signatures shall not be unreasonably withheld), (ii) a W-9 form from SG Blocks, and (iii) complete payee information from SG Blocks; however, in any event, payment shall be made no later than October 15, 2025, assuming the parties have fully executed, mutually acceptable settlement agreement.

Payment shall be made by (a) wire transfer or (c) certified check payable to "Peirce Kavcioglu Espinosa & Cesar LLP Client Trust Account." If paid by wire transfer, counsel for SG Blocks, upon request, shall provide wire instructions separately. If paid by check, the check shall be delivered to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2. Satisfaction of Judgment.** Within seven (7) business days after SG Blocks receives payment in full in accordance with the terms of Section 1 above, SG Blocks shall serve and file an acknowledgment of satisfaction of judgment in full.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3. Dismissal of Appeals.** Within seven (7) business days after the Parties receive a fully executed copy of this Settlement Agreement, the Parties shall execute and file a stipulated request for dismissal with prejudice of all Appeals, with each party bearing their own costs on appeal.

The Parties hereby acknowledge that they knowingly and voluntarily waive any rights they might otherwise have under Civil Code section 1542. The Parties acknowledge that they are familiar with the provisions of said section 1542, which provides:

The Parties hereby release and waive all rights and benefits under Civil Code section 1542.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.
