ARTICLE 5.

BANKRUPTCY COURT MATTERS

5.1

Competing Transaction. This Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the consideration by the Seller of higher or better competing bids in respect of all or any part of the Transferred Assets (whether in combination with other assets of the Seller Group or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Bid Procedures Order (each, a “Competing Bid”). From the Effective Date (and any prior time) and until the Closing, the Seller is permitted to, and to cause its representatives to, initiate contact with, solicit or encourage submission of any inquiries, proposals or offers by, any Person (in addition to Purchaser and its Affiliates and representatives) in connection with any sale or other disposition of the Transferred Assets. In addition, the Seller shall have the authority to respond to any inquiries or offers to purchase all or any part of the Transferred Assets (whether in combination with other assets of the Seller Group or otherwise) and perform any and all other acts related thereto which are required under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bid Procedures Order or other Applicable Law, including supplying information relating to the Business and the assets of the Seller Group to prospective purchasers.

5.2

Bankruptcy Court Filings.

(a)

Subject to its right to pursue a Competing Bid in accordance with the Bid Procedures Order, the Seller shall diligently pursue the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, which Sale Order shall provide for the transfer of the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser free from all successor or transferee Liability to the fullest extent permitted by Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Seller shall comply (or obtain an Order from the Bankruptcy Court waiving compliance) with all requirements under the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the Bankruptcy Court in obtaining the entry of the Sale Order. The Seller further covenants and agrees that, after entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, and provided, that the Sale Order becomes a Final Order, the terms of any other proposed order submitted by the Seller to the Bankruptcy Court shall not conflict with, supersede, abrogate, nullify or restrict the terms of this Agreement, or in any way prevent or interfere with the consummation or

performance of the Transactions. Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Seller to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order, including by furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for the purposes, among others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by Purchaser under this Agreement and demonstrating that Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event that the entry of the Sale Order shall be appealed, the Seller and Purchaser shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to defend such appeal.

(b)

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon all motions, applications, and supporting papers relating to the Transactions prepared by the Seller or any Affiliates (including forms of orders and written notices to interested parties) prior to the filing thereof in the Bankruptcy Cases; provided that the foregoing shall not require the Seller to take any action that would, in the Seller’s reasonable business judgment, threaten to harm the overall value to be produced by the Seller’s in-court sale process.

(c)

The form of Sale Order submitted by the Seller to the Bankruptcy Court for approval must be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Purchaser.

(d)

The Seller shall not seek any modification to the Bid Procedures, Bid Procedures Order, or Sale Order by the Bankruptcy Court that are materially adverse to the Purchaser without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(e)

Each of Purchaser and the Seller will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by the other party to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order, including furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for purposes, among others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by Seller of its obligations under this Agreement and demonstrating that Purchaser is a good faith buyer under section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(f)

The Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide appropriate written notice of the hearings on the Sale Order to all Persons entitled to written notice, including, but not limited to, all Persons that have asserted Liens on the Transferred Assets, all parties to the Assigned Contracts and all taxing authorities in jurisdictions applicable to Seller and as otherwise required by the Bankruptcy Code and bankruptcy rules.

(g)

Within five (5) Business Days of the Auction (subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s availability), if Purchaser is the winning bidder at the Auction (or if there is no Auction), the Seller will seek entry of the Sale Order by the Bankruptcy Court.

(h)

The Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event that Purchaser is not the winning bidder at an auction undertaken pursuant to the Bid Procedures Order (the “Auction”), and (i) Purchaser submits the Back-Up Bid at the Auction or (ii) the terms of this Agreement are deemed to constitute a Back-Up Bid, then Purchaser shall be obligated to promptly consummate the Transactions upon the terms and conditions as set forth herein, including the payment of the Purchase Price as the same may be increased by Purchaser at the Auction; provided that, the Seller gives written notice to Purchaser on or before the Back-Up Termination Date, stating that the Seller (A) failed to consummate the sale of the Transferred Assets with the winning bidder, and (B) terminated the purchase agreement with the winning bidder.

5.3

Assumption of Assigned Contracts.

(a)

On June 4, 2024, the Seller filed (or cause to be filed) a written notice of assumption (the “Assumption Notice”) with the Bankruptcy Court and serve such written notice on each counterparty to a Designated Contract (as defined below) listed thereon. The Assumption Notice shall identify all Designated Contracts that the Seller and Purchaser believe may be assumed and assigned in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets and set forth a good faith estimate of the amount of Cure Costs applicable to each such Assigned Contract (and if no Cure Cost is estimated to be applicable with

respect to any particular Assigned Contract, the amount of such Cure Cost designated for such Assigned Contract shall be “$0.00”). In accordance with the Bid Procedures Order, the Seller reserves the right to supplement such list of Designated Contracts and provide additional written notice of assumption, and to remove a Contract from the list of Designated Contracts, up to entry of Sale Order.

(b)

On or before the date that is two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date (the “Designation Deadline”), Purchaser shall provide to the Seller a list of those Contracts that Purchaser elects to have assumed and assigned to Purchaser on the Closing Date (the “Designated Contracts”). Purchaser shall be entitled to remove certain Contracts from the list of Designated Contracts at any time prior to the Designation Deadline by providing the Seller written notice of such removal. In the event that Purchaser removes any of such Contracts from such list, the Seller will provide the relevant counterparty written notice that the applicable Contract is no longer identified as a Designated Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, only those executory Contracts that remain identified as Designated Contracts as of the Closing Date will constitute Assigned Contracts and will be assumed by the Seller and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order.

(c)

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, a Contract shall not be a Designated Contract hereunder and shall not be assumed and assigned to Purchaser to the extent that such Contract is (i) deemed rejected under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) the subject of an objection to assignment or assumption or requires the consent of any Governmental Authority or other third party (other than, and in addition to, the Bankruptcy Court) in order to permit the assumption and assignment by the applicable Seller to Purchaser of such Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such objection has not been resolved or such consent has not been obtained prior to the thirtieth day following the Closing Date (as such period may be extended by mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser), or (iii) is terminated by any party thereto other than Seller, or terminates or expires by its terms, on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed and assigned to Purchaser as an Assigned Contract hereunder and is not continued or otherwise extended upon assignment. In no event shall the failure to assign to Purchaser any Contract in accordance with subsections (i) through (iii) above reduce the Purchase Price payable to Seller or constitute a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent of Seller under Section 8.3.

(d)

Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, Section 2.8, Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b), Purchaser shall make provision for the payment of the Determined Cure Costs in cash at Closing in accordance with the Sale Order.

(e)

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the date of the Assumption Notice through the Closing Date, the Seller will not reject or take any action (or fail to take any action that would result in rejection by operation of Applicable Law) to reject, withdraw, repudiate or disclaim any Contract unless (i) Purchaser has provided its prior written consent; or (ii) Purchaser has removed such Contract from the list of Designated Contracts.

Tax Matters.

(a)

Apportionment of Ad Valorem Taxes

(i)

All ad valorem, real property, personal property or other similar Taxes with respect to the Transferred Assets that relate to any Straddle Period (such Taxes collectively the “Apportioned Taxes”) shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as follows: (a) the Seller shall be apportioned an amount equal to the total amount of such Apportioned Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of total days in such Straddle Period and (b) the Purchaser shall be apportioned an amount equal to the excess of the total amount of such Apportioned Taxes for the entire Straddle Period over the amount determined in clause (a) hereof.

(ii)

Apportioned Taxes will be timely paid, and all applicable Tax Returns will be filed by Purchaser as provided by Applicable Law. Purchaser will be entitled to reimbursement from the Seller in accordance with Section 7.3(a)(i). Upon payment of Apportioned Taxes, the Purchaser will present a statement to Seller setting forth the amount of the reimbursement to which the Purchaser is entitled under Section 7.3(a)(i) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount to be reimbursed.

(iii)

Subject to the foregoing, for all other purposes of this Agreement, the amount of any Taxes of the Business or with respect to the Transferred Assets not based upon or measured by income, activities, events, the level of any item, gain, receipts, proceeds, profits or similar items for the Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of a Straddle Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period. The Pre-Closing Tax Period portion of any other Taxes for a Straddle Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date; provided, however, that any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (such as deductions for depreciation or real estate Taxes) shall be apportioned on a daily basis.

(b)

After the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to books, records, work papers and Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods) relating to the Business or the Transferred Assets as is reasonably necessary for the preparation of any Tax Return, claim for refund or audit, the making of any election related to Taxes, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed Tax adjustment. Upon reasonable request and with reasonable written notice, Seller and Purchaser shall make its employees and facilities available on a mutually convenient basis to provide reasonable explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder. The other party hereto shall promptly (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the request) provide the reasonably requested information. The requesting party shall indemnify the other party for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such party in connection with providing any information or documentation pursuant to this Section 7.3(b). Any information obtained under this Section 7.3(b) shall be kept confidential, except as otherwise reasonably may be necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting any Tax audit, dispute or contest.

(c)

All Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements and all powers of attorney that relate in any way to the Transferred Assets or the Business will be terminated effective as of the Closing and, after the Closing, no such agreement or power of attorney will have any effect on the Transferred Assets, and Purchaser and its affiliates shall not have any Liability with respect thereto.

ARTICLE 9.

TERMINATION

9.1

Events of Termination. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, this Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)

by written consent of Purchaser and the Seller;

(b)

automatically, (i) upon the earlier of (A) the consummation of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Transferred Assets to a Person other than Purchaser (each, an “Alternate Transaction”), or (B) if Purchaser’s bid has been selected as the Back-Up Bid for the Transferred Assets, 45 days after the conclusion of the Auction (or, if no Auction is held, 45 days after the date on which the Seller files a notice of cancellation of Auction) or (ii) if Purchaser’s bid was selected as neither the winning bid nor the Back-Up Bid for the Transferred Assets, two (2) business days after entry of an order approving the winning bid and (if applicable) the Back-Up Bid for the Transferred Assets.

(c)

by Purchaser or the Seller by written notice to Purchaser or the Seller from the other, if the Bankruptcy Case is dismissed or converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(e)

by Purchaser, by written notice from Purchaser to the Seller, if there has been a breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement, such that the conditions in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 are not capable of being satisfied and which breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured by the Seller prior to the earlier of (i) twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Purchaser requesting such breach be cured or (ii) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) shall not be available to Purchaser if the failure of Purchaser to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, such breach, or if the conditions in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 are not capable of being satisfied because there is then a material breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement;

(f)

by the Seller, by written notice from the Seller to Purchaser, if there has been a breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement, such that the conditions in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 are not capable of being satisfied and which breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, has not been cured by Purchaser prior to the earlier of (i) 20 Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Seller requesting such breach be cured or (ii) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) shall not be available to the Seller if the failure of the Seller to fulfill any of its obligations under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or resulted in, such breach, or if the conditions in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 are not capable of being satisfied because there is then a

material breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement;

(g)

by Purchaser or the Seller, by written notice from Purchaser or the Seller to the other, if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an Order, enacted any Applicable Law or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions and, in the case of Orders and other actions, such Order or other action shall have become Final Orders; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(g) shall not be available to the party seeking to terminate if any action of such party or any failure of such party to act has caused such Order or other action and such action or failure constitutes a breach of this Agreement;

(h)

by written notice from Purchaser to Sellers, if any Seller announces or files a plan or other transaction, or seeks to file a plan or other transaction, contemplating reorganization or sale of all or any part of any member of the Seller Group under the Bankruptcy Code that does not comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; or

(i)

by Purchaser or the Seller, by written notice from Purchaser or the Seller to the other, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to August 31, 2024 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the party exercising the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(i) shall not have been responsible for such failure of the Closing to occur through a breach or inaccuracy of a covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (it being understood, acknowledged, and agreed that if Seller is unable to provide any required Closing deliverable of Seller, then Seller shall be deemed to have been responsible for such failure of the Closing for purposes of this Section 9.1(i)).

9.2

Effect of Termination.

(a)

In the event that this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, (i) Purchaser and its representatives shall promptly return all documents, work papers and other materials of the Seller including any confidential information and (ii) all further obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement shall terminate without further Liability or obligation to the other parties hereto; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Liabilities and obligations under (A) the Confidentiality Agreement, and (B) Section 2.9(c), Section 6.2(b), this Section 9.2 and ARTICLE 10 shall continue in full force and effect.

(b)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, (i) except in the case of Fraud, the Seller’s Liability hereunder for any and all breaches of this Agreement prior to such termination of this Agreement shall be capped at an amount equal to the Deposit Escrow Amount and (ii) no such termination shall relieve Purchaser from any Liability hereunder for any and all breaches of this Agreement prior to such termination of this Agreement (including if this Agreement is terminated by the Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(f)) and the Seller shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity, including payment of the Deposit Escrow Amount pursuant to Section 2.9(c) provided that Purchaser’s aggregate Liability for any such damages shall be limited to foreseeable, consequential damages, which such Liability in no case may exceed the Base Price.

9.3

Termination Fee.

(a)

Subject to limitations set forth in the Bid Procedures Order, in consideration of Purchaser having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation thereof, and the identification and quantification of assets to be included in the Transferred Assets, and to compensate Purchaser as a stalking-horse bidder, the Seller shall pay in cash to Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Purchaser to the Seller in writing, an amount equal to the Termination Fee in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b), in which case the Termination Fee shall be due and payable simultaneously with any

termination of this Agreement or immediately upon the Seller’s entry into an agreement for an Alternate Transaction with another bidder, whichever is first; provided, that, Purchaser shall not be entitled to the fee described in this Section 9.3(a) to the extent Purchaser is in material breach of this Agreement at the time this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(b) if Seller has provided written notice of such material breach to Purchaser and such material breach has remained uncured for more than twenty (20) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of such written notice. The Termination Fee shall be payable, in the first instance, from the proceeds of such Competing Bid or Alternate Transaction. The Seller’s obligation to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.3(a) shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall constitute an administrative expense of the Seller under section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code with priority over any and all administrative expenses of the kind specified in section 503(b) or 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b)

The Seller agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser’s due diligence, efforts, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement have involved substantial investment of management time and have required significant commitment of financial, legal, and other resources by Purchaser, and that such due diligence, efforts, negotiation, and execution have provided value to the Seller and, in the Seller’s reasonable business judgment, is necessary for the preservation of the value of the Seller’s estate. The Seller further agrees and acknowledges that the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather represent liquidated damages that are reasonable in relation to Purchaser’s efforts, Purchaser’s lost opportunities from pursuing the Transactions, and the magnitude of the Transactions. The provision of the Termination Fee is an integral part of this Agreement, without which the Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement.

ARTICLE 10.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1

Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their term are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to Closing shall, solely to the extent such covenants and agreements are to be performed, or prohibit actions, subsequent to Closing, survive the Closing in accordance with their terms until fully performed or satisfied. All other covenants and agreements contained herein (to the extent such covenants and agreements contemplate or require performance by such party prior to the Closing), and all representations and warranties contained herein or in any Related Document shall not survive Closing and shall therefor terminate, including any Action for damages in respect of any breach or inaccuracy thereof, except in the event of Fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.9(c), Section 6.2, Section 9.2, this Article 10 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties shall retain all rights and remedies of Fraud, and nothing herein shall preclude any party from commencing an Action or asserting claims related to Fraud.

10.2

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents, contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, contracts, discussions, negotiations, undertakings and understandings (including any letters of intent or term sheets), whether written or oral, among the parties with respect to such subject matter (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents) or any prior course of dealings. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, Liabilities and obligations respecting the Transactions exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents, and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents. Furthermore, the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents embody the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and all parties to this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party

that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary purchaser and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. The sole and exclusive remedies for any Related Claims shall be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement); and the parties hereby agree that neither party hereto shall have any remedies or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) of any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this Agreement.

10.3

Amendment; No Waiver. This Agreement, the Schedules and the Related Documents may be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof or thereof can be waived, only by a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Related Documents) executed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10.4

Severability; Specific Versus General Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Applicable Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, in whole or in part, such term or provision is hereby deemed modified to give effect to the original written intent of the parties to the greatest extent consistent with being valid and enforceable under Applicable Law. No party hereto shall assert, and each party shall cause its respective Affiliates or related parties not to assert, that this Agreement or any part hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent that a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement or the Schedules (each, a “Provision”) addresses a particular issue with specificity (a “Specific Provision”), and no breach by the Seller exists under such Specific Provision, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of any other Provision (with respect to such issue) that addresses such issue with less specificity than the Specific Provision, and if such Specific Provision is qualified or limited by the Seller’s Knowledge, or in any other manner, no other Provision shall supersede or limit such qualification in any manner.

10.5

Expenses and Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with the Transactions, including the costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel and accountants, shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has incurred such expenses.

10.6

Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement or the Related Documents must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, (b) if delivered by express courier service of national standing for next day delivery (with charges prepaid), on the Business Day following the date of delivery to such courier service, (c) if delivered by electronic mail (unless the sender receives an automated message that the email has not been delivered) on the date of transmission if on a Business Day before 5:00 p.m. local time of the business address of the recipient party (otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day); provided that such notice is further transmitted by national overnight courier or registered or certified mail within two (2) Business Days after providing such notice via electronic mail, and (d) if deposited in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, on the date of delivery, in each case to the appropriate addresses or email

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format, or other agreed format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any Related Document, shall be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

10.8

Governing Law. Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement, the Related Documents and all Related Claims shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware (including its statute of limitations), without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law principles or rules that would cause the application of the Applicable Laws of any other jurisdiction.

10.9

Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)

Without limiting any party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to interpret and/or enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any Related Document, any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, or the Transactions, and (ii) any and all proceedings related to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy

Court, and the parties hereby consent to and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and shall receive notices at such locations as indicated in Section 10.6; provided, however, that if the Bankruptcy Cases have closed, the parties agree to irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas over all Related Claims, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all Related Claims may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Related Claim brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

(b)

Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any Related Claim by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (other than by email) along with a notification that service of process is being served in conformance with this Section 10.9(b). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

10.10

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED CLAIMS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING OR RELATED CLAIM BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST IT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED CLAIMS.

10.11

Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement and the Related Documents will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, the Related Documents or Applicable Law.

10.12

Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors by operation of law and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be made by any party hereto at any time, whether or not by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser may assign (i) any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, and (ii) its rights, but not its duties, under this Agreement to any of its financing sources and (b), the Seller may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement (i) to any of its Affiliates, (ii) to any creditor or group of creditors pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court entered in the Bankruptcy Cases, including Seller’s rights to payment hereunder and rights and ability to enforce the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) for collateral security purposes to any lender of the Seller or its Affiliates; provided, further, however, that, in each case, such assignment shall not release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement and the Seller shall have no obligation to pursue remedies against any assignee of Purchaser before proceeding against Purchaser for any breach of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

10.13

Specific Enforcement; Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage (for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (a) Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall be entitled to enforce compliance with the covenants and obligations of the other party under this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction and appropriate relief, without

proof of damages or otherwise, shall be granted, and that this shall include the right of the Seller to cause Purchaser to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and Applicable Laws and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Seller nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. Remedies shall be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto hereby (i) waives any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, (ii) waives any requirement under any Applicable Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief and (iii) agrees not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law.

10.14

Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in Section 10.15 (with respect to the Nonparty Affiliates), Section 10.16 (with respect to the released parties identified therein), Section 10.18 (with respect to the Sellers’ Group Members) and the next sentence, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. From and after the Closing, all of the Persons identified as third-party beneficiaries in the first sentence of this Section 10.14 shall be entitled to enforce such provisions and to avail themselves of the benefits of any remedy for any breach of such provisions, all to the same extent as if such Persons were parties to this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations between the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with this Agreement without notice or Liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any party hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the Effective Date or as of any other date.

10.15

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers and Owners. All Related Claims may be made only against (and are those solely of) the entities that are expressly identified as parties in the preamble to this Agreement (the “Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative or assignee of, or any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, representative, or any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (collectively, “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any Liability pursuant to any Related Claim; and, to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such Liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates.

10.16

General Release.

(a)

Effective as of the Closing, the Seller, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and each of their respective predecessors, successors, and assigns (each of the foregoing, a “Seller Releasing Party”), hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Purchaser and its respective past, present, and future directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, members, representatives, Affiliates, financial advisors, legal advisors, investment bankers, and other professionals from and against, and covenants that it will not (directly or indirectly) assert any claim or pursue any proceeding of any kind before any Governmental Authority based upon, any and all claims, Actions, causes

of action, suits, rights, agreements, Liabilities and demands whatsoever and all consequences thereof, known or unknown, actual or potential, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, both in law and in equity, whether existing as of the Closing or arising thereafter, that a Seller Releasing Party has or may have, now or in the future, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act or omission, error, negligence, breach of contract, tort, violation of law, matter or cause whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Closing Date. The foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to be a release or waiver by a Seller Releasing Party of any Action it may have under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents. Nothing in this Section 10.16(a) shall limit Seller’s rights in the case of actual fraud.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and each of their respective predecessors, successors, and assigns (each of the foregoing, a “Purchaser Releasing Party”), hereby fully, irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the Seller, the Seller’s Affiliates and its and their respective past and present directors, managers, officers, agents, stockholders, members, representatives, Affiliates, financial advisors, legal advisors, investment bankers, and other professionals from and against, and covenants that it will not (directly or indirectly) assert any claim or pursue any proceeding of any kind before any Governmental Authority based upon, any and all claims, Actions, causes of action, suits, rights, agreements, Liabilities and demands whatsoever and all consequences thereof, known or unknown, actual or potential, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, both in law and in equity, whether existing as of the Closing or arising thereafter, that a Purchaser Releasing Party has or may have, now or in the future, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act or omission, error, negligence, breach of contract, tort, violation of law, matter or cause whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Closing Date. The foregoing sentence shall not be deemed to be a release or waiver by a Purchaser Releasing Party of any Action it may have under this Agreement or any of the other Related Documents. Nothing in this Section 10.16(b) shall limit Purchaser’s rights in the case of actual fraud.

(c) Without limiting in any way the scope of the releases contained in this Section 10.16 and effective upon the Closing, each of the Seller and Purchaser, to the fullest extent allowed under Applicable Law, hereby waives and relinquishes all statutory and common law protections purporting to limit the scope or effect of a general release, whether due to lack of knowledge of any claim or otherwise, including by waiving and relinquishing the terms of any Applicable Law that provides that a release may not apply to material unknown claims. Each of the Seller and Purchaser hereby affirms its intent to waive and relinquish such unknown claims and to waive and relinquish any statutory or common law protection available in any applicable jurisdiction with respect thereto. Each of the Seller and Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that it has access to adequate information regarding the terms hereof, the scope and effect of the releases in this Section 10.16, and all other matters encompassed by this Agreement to make an informed and knowledgeable decision with regard to entering into this Agreement.

10.17

Legal Representation. Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the Law Firm has represented the Seller Group in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Related Documents and the consummation of the Transactions, and that the Seller, its Affiliates and its partners, officers, directors and representatives (the “Seller Group Members”) have a reasonable expectation that the Law Firm may represent them in connection with any Action involving any Seller Group Member, on the one hand, and Purchaser or any of its Affiliates and

representatives (the “Purchaser Group Members”), on the other hand, arising under this Agreement, the Related Documents or the Transactions. Purchaser hereby, on behalf of itself and the other Purchaser Group Members, irrevocably: (a) acknowledges and agrees that any attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege, work product or other attorney-client or solicitor-client confidential information, in each case, solely to the extent such information does not constitute a, or is not included in any, Transferred Asset (“Attorney-Client Information”) arising from communications prior to the Closing between any Seller (including any one or more officers, directors or stockholders of such Seller), on the one hand, and the Law Firm, on the other hand, is not included in the property, rights, privileges, powers, franchises and other interests that are possessed by or vested in the Business or the Transferred Assets, that any such Attorney-Client Information shall be deemed property of, and controlled solely by, such Seller for the benefit and on behalf of the Seller Group Members and, upon request, convey and transfer any Attorney-Client Information to the Seller; (b) acknowledge and agree that the Seller Group Members shall have the right to retain, or cause the Law Firm to retain, any such Attorney-Client Information in the possession of the Law Firm or such Seller Group Members at the Closing; (c) disclaim the right to assert a waiver by any Seller Group Member with regard to the attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege or other right to confidentiality with respect to such Attorney-Client Information solely due to the fact that such documentation or information is physically in the possession of Purchaser after the Closing; (e) consent to the Law Firm’s representation after the Closing of any Seller Group Member in any Action that may relate to a Purchaser Group Member or the Transactions and consent to and waive any conflict of interest arising therefrom without the need for any future waiver or consent; and (f) consent to the disclosure by the Law Firm to any Seller Group Member of any documentation or information obtained by the Law Firm during the course of its representation of Seller or any Affiliate prior to the Closing, whether related to this Agreement, the Related Documents, the Transactions or otherwise, whether or not such disclosure is made prior to or after the Closing and whether or not the documentation or information disclosed is subject to any attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege or confidentiality obligation to any Seller, any Affiliate of such Seller or any other Person. In the event that any Action arises after the Closing between any Purchaser Group Member and a Person other than a Seller Group Member, such Purchaser Group Member shall not disclose any documentation or information that is subject to an attorney-client privilege or other rights of confidentiality referenced in this Section 10.18 without the prior written consent of the applicable Seller; provided, however, that if such Purchaser Group Member is required by judicial order or other legal process to make such disclosure, such Purchaser Group Member shall promptly notify the applicable Seller in writing of such requirement (without making disclosure) and shall provide such Seller with such cooperation and assistance as shall be necessary to enable such Seller to prevent disclosure by reason of such attorney-client privilege, solicitor-client privilege or other rights of confidentiality. This Section 10.18 is for the benefit of the Seller Group Members and such Persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 10.18.
