1.7 Assumption/Rejection of Certain Contracts.

(a) Assumption and Assignment of Executory Contracts. The Sellers shall provide timely and proper written notice of the motion seeking entry of the Sale Order to all parties to any executory Contracts or unexpired leases to which any Seller is a party that are Assigned Contracts and take all other actions necessary to cause such Contracts to be assumed by the Sellers and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that such Contracts are Assigned Contracts at Closing. Subject to Section 1.7(b), at the Closing, the Sellers shall, pursuant to the Sale Order, and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement(s), assume and assign to Purchaser (the consideration for which is included in the Purchase Price), all Assigned Contracts that may be assigned by any such Seller to Purchaser pursuant to sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.7(b). At the Closing, Purchaser shall assume, and thereafter in due course and in accordance with its respective terms pay, fully satisfy, discharge and perform all of the obligations under each Assigned Contract pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) Excluding or Adding Assigned Contracts Prior to Closing. Purchaser and Agent shall have the right to notify the Sellers in writing of any Assigned Contract that Purchaser or Seller does not wish to assume or any Contract to which any Seller is a party that Agent or Purchaser desire for Agent or Purchaser to assume as an Assigned Contract; provided that (i) no Contract that would reasonably be expected to be materially necessary for the operation of the Business in the Ordinary Course may be rejected by Sellers without the prior written consent of Agent and Purchaser at any time prior to the Sale Termination Date, (ii) all other Contracts of Sellers may be designated by Agent or Purchaser (as applicable) as Assigned Contracts or Excluded Contracts as set forth in this Section 1.7(b), and (iii) notwithstanding the forgoing, no Lease shall be an Assigned Contract nor designated by Agent or Purchaser (as applicable) as an Assigned Contract absent written notice of a further motion to assume and assign such Lease(s), which motion shall contain adequate assurance of future performance as required under the Bidding Procedures Order. With respect to all such other Contracts, Sellers shall cause that (i) up to the Closing, with respect to any such previously considered Assigned Contract that Purchaser

7

and Agent no longer wish Purchaser to assume (as so notified to Sellers in writing prior to the Closing) shall be automatically deemed removed from the Schedules related to Assigned Contracts and automatically deemed added to the Schedules related to Excluded Contracts, in each case, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price, and (ii) with respect to any such previously considered Excluded Contract that Purchaser or Agent wish for Purchaser or Agent (as applicable) to assume as an Assigned Contract shall, if notice is given to Sellers prior to Closing be automatically deemed added to the Schedules related to Assigned Contracts, automatically deemed removed from the Schedules related to Excluded Contracts, and assumed by Sellers to sell and assign to Purchaser or Agent (as applicable), in each case, without any adjustment to the Purchase Price; provided that any estimated Cure Costs from the schedule of Cure Costs in the Dataroom as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Contract that is not set forth on Schedule 1.2(a) as of the date hereof but is added as an Assigned Contract pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) shall be added to the maximum amount of Cure Costs set forth in Section 1.4(b) for purposes of calculating Excess Cure Costs. In the event that, after Closing, Agent or Purchaser identifies a Contract that either the Agent or the Purchaser wishes to have the Sellers assume and assign to the Agent or the Purchaser, so long as notice is given to Sellers before the rejection of such Contract, Sellers will take all commercially reasonable steps to have such Contract assumed and assigned to Agent or the Purchaser, as applicable, with all additional Cure Costs related to such Contracts to be paid by the Agent or the Purchaser, as applicable, without regard or counting toward the maximum amount of Cure Costs set forth in Section 1.4(b) for purposes of calculating Excess Cure Costs.

(c) Non-Assignment. Subject to Section 1.7(b), notwithstanding the foregoing, a Contract shall not be an Assigned Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Purchaser to the extent that such Contract (i) is rejected by a Seller or terminated by a Seller or any other party thereto (to the extent permitted hereunder), or terminates or expires by its terms, on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed by Purchaser as an Assigned Contract hereunder and is not continued or otherwise extended upon assumption or (ii) requires, subject to applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, a Consent or Governmental Authorization (other than, and in addition to, that of the Bankruptcy Court) in order to permit the sale or transfer to Purchaser of the applicable Seller’s rights under such Contract, and such Consent or Governmental Authorization has not been obtained prior to such time as it is to be assumed by Purchaser as an Assigned Contract hereunder. In the event that any Assigned Contract is deemed not to be assigned pursuant to clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Section 1.7(c), the Closing shall nonetheless take place subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and, thereafter, through the earlier of such time as such Consent or Governmental Authorization is obtained and twelve (12) months following the Closing (or the remaining term of such Contract or the closing of the Bankruptcy Case, if shorter), Sellers and Purchaser shall (A) use reasonable best efforts to secure such Consent or Governmental Authorization as promptly as practicable after the Closing and (B) cooperate in good faith in any lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement reasonably proposed by Purchaser, including subcontracting, licensing, or sublicensing to Purchaser any or all of any Seller’s rights and obligations with respect to any such Assigned Contract, under which (1) Purchaser shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third party or violating any Law) the economic rights and benefits (net of the amount of any related Tax costs imposed on Sellers or their respective affiliates) under such Assigned Contract with respect to which the Consent and/or Governmental Authorization has not been obtained and (2) Purchaser shall assume any related burden (including the amount of any related Tax benefit obtained by Sellers or their respective affiliates) and obligation (including performance) with respect to such Assigned Contract.

2.1 Consideration; Payment.

(a) The aggregate consideration to be paid by the Purchaser to the Sellers for the sale, transfer or designation, as applicable of the Subject Assets (collectively, the “Purchase Price”) shall be: (i) the assumption of Assumed Liabilities, and (ii) payment of an amount in cash equal to (A) the Estimated Purchase Price, plus or minus (as applicable) (B) the Merchandise Purchase Price Adjustment (if any), plus (C) the Store Cash Amount, plus (D) $225,000 (the “Trade Cash Amount”) (such sum of (A) through (D), the “Cash Payment”). Without limiting any of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder, including with respect to payment of the Cash Payment, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Agent is funding a portion of the Cash Payment in consideration of the Agency Agreement.

(b) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the concentration account maintained at Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. bearing the account number ending in 4030 (the “Payment Account”), the Estimated Purchase Price minus the Deposit, and minus the Holdback, and any other payment required to be made pursuant to any other provision hereof shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the applicable Party to (or for the benefit of) whom such payment is to be made at least two Business Days prior to the date such payment is to be made. Purchaser acknowledges and Sellers agree that all proceeds of the Cash Payment, Deposit, Trade Cash Amount, Holdback (if any and once released from the Holdback Account), and all other amounts payable to Sellers hereunder shall be remitted to the Payment Account, which proceeds, less the amount of Stub Rent Reserve (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order), and less the amount then owing in respect of the Carve Out (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order), and less the Texas Adequate Protection Amount (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order) shall be paid to the ABL Agent (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order) to be permanently applied first to all ABL Obligations until such obligations are paid in full, and then less the amount of the Trade Claim Reserve, second to the Term Loan Agent (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order) to be applied to all Term Loan Obligations (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order) until such obligations are paid in full.

2.2 Deposit; Holdback.

(a) Purchaser shall pay, or caused to be paid, no later than December 2, 2019 an earnest money deposit (the “Deposit”) into escrow with a designee of the Company in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the Estimated Purchase Price (excluding the estimated Store Cash Amount) by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or prior to the date hereof. The Deposit shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process, or any other judicial process of any creditor of any of the Sellers or Purchaser and shall be applied against payment of the Estimated Purchase Price on the Closing Date.

9

(b) If this Agreement has been terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(h) (or by Purchaser in circumstances in which the Company would at the time of such termination be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(h)), then the Company shall retain the Deposit.

(c) If this Agreement has been terminated by any Party, other than as contemplated by Section 2.2(b), then the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after such termination.

(d) The Parties agree that the Company’s right to retain the Deposit, as set forth herein, is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Sellers for their respective efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. If this Agreement is terminated in a manner in which the Company is entitled to retain the Deposit in accordance with Section 2.2(b), then (i) the Company’s retention of the Deposit as liquidated damages (and not a penalty) shall be the sole right of any Seller to recover monetary damages for Purchaser’s breach of this Agreement or Purchaser’s or Agent’s failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) in no event shall Purchaser or Agent have any responsibility with respect thereto, other than execution and delivery of an instruction, if required, to deliver the Deposit to Sellers, and (iii) the Sellers agree that the Purchaser and Agent shall not be responsible for any special or consequential damages related to any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser or failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that nothing in this clause (iii) shall limit the Sellers’ right to the Deposit.

(e) At the Closing, Purchaser shall pay the Holdback to the Escrow Agent to be deposited into a segregated account (such account, the “Holdback Account”). The Holdback shall be applied and released as provided in Section 2.3.

2.3 Merchandise.

(a) Commencing as promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, Sellers, Purchaser, and Agent shall cause to be taken a SKU level Cost Value and Retail Price physical inventory of certain Merchandise as described in this Section 2.3 (collectively, the “Merchandise Taking”).

(i) The Merchandise Taking shall be completed in each of the Stores and the Distribution Center as soon as practicable (the date of the Merchandise Taking at each Store or the Distribution Center being the “Merchandise Date” for each Store), but in any event no later than twenty-one (21) days after the Closing Date (subject to the availability of the Merchandise Taker); provided that the Company, Purchaser, and Agent may agree to undertake Merchandise Taking at subset of Stores and to extrapolate the results thereof to all Stores; provided further

10

that the Parties shall account for the Merchandise located in the Distribution Center as of Closing but distributed out of the Distribution Center prior to the Merchandise Date for the Distribution Center. Merchandise located in Merchant’s Distribution Center or in-transit from the Distribution Center to a Store that arrives after the Merchandise Date for such Store shall be counted by Advisors of Sellers, Agent, and Purchaser upon receipt at such Store. On Order Merchandise shall be counted as part of the Distribution Center Merchandise until all Merchandise designated for the Stores from a Distribution Center is shipped from such Distribution Center. Thereafter, such On Order Merchandise shall be counted as it arrives at the Distribution Center by processes and procedures mutually acceptable to Agent, Purchaser and Sellers.

(ii) The Merchandise Taker will conduct the physical inventory in accordance with such procedures and instructions as are consistent with the usual and customary practices of the industry or as may otherwise be mutually and reasonably agreed upon by the Merchandise Taker, Sellers, Purchaser and Agent, and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.3. Each Party and the Agent shall be entitled to have Advisors present during the Merchandise Taking and to review, reconcile, and verify the listing and tabulation of the Merchandise Taker (after review, reconciliation and mutual written verification thereof by Purchaser, Agent, and Sellers, the “Merchandise Report”), and the fees and expenses of the Merchandise Taker shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Agent and fifty percent (50%) by the Sellers. Purchaser, Sellers and Agent will direct the Merchandise Taker to deliver the Merchandise Report no later than seven (7) calendar days, if practicable, after the completion of the Merchandise Taking.

(iii) Sellers, Agent, and Purchaser may agree that during the conduct of the Merchandise Taking the Stores (or any section thereof) shall be closed to the public, and no sales or other transactions shall be conducted within the applicable Store. Sellers, Agent, and Purchaser further agree that until the Merchandise Taking in a particular Store is completed, neither the Sellers, Agent, nor Purchaser shall: (i) move Merchandise within or about the Store so as to make any such items unavailable for counting as part of the Merchandise Taking; or (ii) remove or add any hang tags, price tickets, inventory control tags affixed to any Merchandise or any other kind of in-store pricing signage within the Store. Sellers agree to cooperate with Merchandise Taker, Purchaser, and Agent to conduct the Merchandise Taking (including by making available to Merchandise Taker, Purchaser, Agent information relating to sales, units, costs, Cost Value, and Retail Price, and making available to Merchandise Taker, Purchaser, and Agent Merchant’s books, records, work papers and personnel to the extent reasonably necessary to calculate the Cost Value and Retail Price of the Merchandise). The Parties agree that the Merchandise Taking will commence at a time that will minimize the number of hours that the Stores will be closed for business.

11

(b) At each Store, for the period from the Closing Date until the Merchandise Date for such Store, and for the E-Commerce Platform, for the period from the Closing Date through the last date on which sales are conducted using the E-Commerce Platform (or such earlier date as the Sellers, Purchaser and Agent may agree in writing), Sellers, Agent, and Purchaser shall jointly keep (i) a strict count of gross register receipts (or in the case of E-Commerce Platform sales, E-Commerce Platform records) less applicable sales taxes but excluding any prevailing Sale discounts (“Gross Rings”), and (ii) cash reports of sales within such Store or through the E-Commerce Platform. Register/ E-Commerce Platform reports shall show for each item sold the Cost Value and Retail Price for such item and the markdown or discount, if any, specifically granted by the Agent. All such records and reports shall be made available to Sellers, Agent, and Purchaser during regular business hours upon reasonable notice. Any Merchandise sold using the Gross Rings method shall be included as Merchandise, and all Merchandise sold during the Gross Rings period shall be included in the Merchandise Report at its applicable Cost Value (without taking into account any of Agent’s point of sale discounts or point of sale markdowns).

(c) The Merchandise Report (and the portion of the Purchase Price to be paid by Purchaser for the Merchandise) shall not include Merchandise that (i) is Excluded Defective Merchandise; (ii) is not transferable to Purchaser under applicable Law; (iii) belongs to sublessees or concessionaires of Sellers (other than Licensed Department Merchandise); or (iv) consists of raw materials, work in process, supplies, or material used or consumed in connection with the Business (collectively, the “Excluded Goods”), in each case, determined in accordance with usual and customary practices of the industry. With respect to any Licensed Department Merchandise, it shall be counted on the basis of such Merchandise set forth in the File, minus the sum of (x) Merchandise sold between the date of the File and the Sale Commencement Date and (y) an amount equal to Licensed Department Merchandise multiplied by 0.5%.

(d) The Merchandise Report shall include all Merchandise in the Stores, excluding the Excluded Goods (but including any portion or all of the Excluded Goods for which Sellers, Agent, and Purchaser are able to mutually agree (in each Party’s (or in the case of Agent, Agent’s) sole and absolute discretion) on the Cost Value and Retail Price thereof), and shall be supplemented to include (i) all Distribution Center Merchandise and On Order Merchandise that is received at a Store after the applicable Merchandise Date, but on or before twenty-eight (28) days after the Closing (the “Receipt Deadline”) and (ii) all Returned Merchandise that is returned to a Store after the applicable Merchandise Date, but on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the Closing Date.

(e) Sellers, Purchaser, and Agent estimate that the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise to be included in the Sale will be $41.1 million (the “Estimated Merchandise Value”).

(f) The Cost Value and Retail Price of each item of Merchandise that is received at a Store after the date that is twenty-one (21) days after the Closing Date, but on or before the Receipt Deadline, shall be multiplied by the inverse of the then prevailing Sale discount, and such reduced Cost Value and Retail Price shall be the Cost Value and Retail Price of all such Merchandise so received at a Closing Store.

12

(g) If the ratio of the aggregate Cost Value of the Merchandise to the aggregate Retail Price of the Merchandise is a percentage greater than the Cost Factor Threshold, the Purchase Price shall be reduced in accordance with Schedule 2.3(g) (the cumulative adjustment of 2.3(e), 2.3(f), and this 2.3(g) and the corresponding effect on the Purchase Price, the “Merchandise Purchase Price Adjustment”).

(h) The Merchandise Report prepared by the Merchandise Taker shall be prepared in accordance with the usual and customary practices, policies and procedures of Sellers and shall show, among other things, the aggregate Cost Value and Retail Price determined in the manner provided above.

(i) From and after the date of this Agreement, neither Sellers nor any Person acting on behalf or direction of Sellers shall transfer or cause to be transferred any Merchandise or Furnishings and Equipment located at Stores prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement to any of the Stores or the Distribution Center.

The closing of the transfer and designation, as applicable, of the Subject Assets, the delivery of the Estimated Purchase Price, the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities and the consummation of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place by telephone conference and electronic exchange of documents (or, if the Parties agree to hold a physical closing, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, located at 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022) at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the second (2nd) Business Day following full satisfaction or due waiver (by the Party entitled to the benefit of such condition) of the closing conditions set forth in Article VII (other than conditions that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), or at such other place and time as the Parties may agree. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

2.5 Closing Deliveries by the Sellers. At or prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser:

Purchaser, Agent, and each of the Sellers shall cooperate in good faith to reduce or otherwise eliminate any such withholding obligation to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

2.8 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(b) Examination and Review.

(i) Examination. After receipt of the Closing Statement, the Purchaser and Agent shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review the Closing Statement. During the Review Period, the Purchaser, Agent and their accountants shall have reasonable access to the books and records of the Sellers, the personnel of, and work papers prepared by, the Sellers or the Sellers’ accountants to the extent that they relate to the Closing Statement and to such historical financial information (to the extent in the Sellers’ possession) relating to the Closing Statement as the Purchaser and Agent may reasonably request for the purpose of reviewing the Closing Statement and to prepare a Dispute Notice (as defined below).

(ii) Objection. If, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, the Purchaser or Agent disputes any item in the Closing Statement as delivered by the Sellers, the Purchaser and Agent may object to the Closing Statement by delivering to the Sellers a written statement setting forth the Purchaser’s or Agent’s objections in reasonable detail, indicating each disputed item or amount and what the Purchaser or Agent believes to be the correct value of the disputed item or amount and the reasons for the Purchaser’s or Agent’s disagreement therewith (the “Dispute Notice”). If the Purchaser or Agent fails to deliver the Dispute Notice before the expiration of the Review Period, the Closing Statement as delivered by the Sellers shall become final and binding on the Parties.

(iii) Resolution of Disputes. If the Parties cannot agree on an item(s) set out in a Dispute Notice within twenty (20) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Dispute Notice, either Party may, within a subsequent period of ten (10) Business Days, refer the disputed item(s) to an independent accountant mutually agreed between Sellers, Purchaser, and Agent other than Sellers’ accountants, the Purchaser’s accountants, or Agent’s accountants (“Independent Accountant”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve the specific items under dispute by the Parties in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and make any adjustments to the Closing Statement. The Independent Accountant shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Parties and its decision for each disputed amount must be within the range of values assigned to each such item in the Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice, respectively. The Independent Accountant shall decide the procedural rules in connection with its hearing of the Parties’ positions on the disputed item and shall ensure that a decision can be reached as quickly as possible. Each Party shall give the Independent Accountant access to all information which in the reasonable opinion of the Independent Accountant is necessary to decide on the disputed item and shall cause that such information is provided promptly. The decisions of the Independent Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties and neither Sellers, Purchaser, nor Agent shall seek further recourse through courts or other tribunals other than to enforce decision of the Independent Accountant.

(iv) The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be paid jointly by the Sellers and Purchaser in proportion to the relative difference between (x) the amount determined by the Independent Accountant and (y) the amounts proposed by Sellers in the Closing Statement and Purchaser in the Dispute Notice.

15

(v) All calculations relating to the Closing Statement, any of the amounts therein, or any of the adjustments hereunder shall be made and prepared in accordance with and in a manner consistent with the procedures, practices, methodologies and standards used in preparing Financial Statements.

(c) Purchase Price Adjustment after Closing. If the Final Purchase Price is (i) greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers the amount of the excess and Purchaser, Sellers, and Agent shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to promptly release to Sellers the Holdback from the Holdback Account; or (ii) less than the Estimated Purchase Price (the “Purchaser Post-Closing Adjustment”), Purchaser, Sellers, and Agent shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to promptly release to the Agent from the Holdback Account the amount by which the Final Purchase Price was less than the Estimated Purchase Price (and to Sellers the amount remaining in the Holdback Account, if any, following such release to Agent); provided that the Purchaser Post-Closing Adjustment shall not exceed the amount in the Holdback Account (the adjustments in (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “Post-Closing Adjustment”).

(d) Payments of Post-Closing Adjustment. Any payment under this Section 2.8 shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the Final Purchase Price has been determined whether by agreement, by the Independent Accountant or by arbitration, as applicable. Payment shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the recipient in writing. For the avoidance of doubt, the process provided for in this Section 2.8 shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive recourse with respect to any disputes arising out of or related to the subject matter of this Section 2.8.

(e) Royalty Payments. To the extent that, on or prior to the date that the Post-Closing Adjustment has been finalized, Purchaser (i) is required to pay (or give credit for) an amount to any of the Strategic Partners pursuant to an Assigned Contract for the Sellers’ valid and not disputed underperformance under Strategic Partnership Agreements relating to payments made to the Sellers prior to the Closing Date or (ii) has received any prepayments for any unearned amounts under Strategic Partnership Agreements (an unearned amount being the portion of any such prepayment that covers a period that includes the Closing and the portion of such amount being the portion of such prepayment that is proportional to the portion of such period that runs from the Closing to the end of such period), then the Purchase Price shall be further reduced by up to $500,000 in respect of such amounts (with no more than a $200,000 reduction in respect of underperformance payments or credits) so long as Purchaser makes demand for payment of such amounts prior to the date the Post-Closing Adjustment is finalized and such Purchase Price reduction shall be paid out of the amount in the Holdback Account.

(f) Adjustments for Tax Purposes. Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(c) From and after the Closing for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date (or, if later, the closing of the Bankruptcy Case), Purchaser and Agent will provide the Sellers and their Advisors with reasonable access, during normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice, to the books and records, including work papers, schedules, memoranda, Tax Returns, Tax schedules, Tax rulings, and other documents (for the purpose of examining and copying) relating to the Acquired Assets, the Designated Assets, the Excluded Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Excluded Liabilities with respect to periods or occurrences prior to the Closing Date, and reasonable access, during normal business hours, and upon reasonable advance notice, to employees, officers, advisors, accountants, offices and properties of

34

Purchaser or Agent (including for the purpose of better understanding the books and records). Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Company, Purchaser and Agent will not, for a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records without first offering to surrender to the Company such books and records or any portion thereof that Purchaser may intend to destroy, alter or dispose of. From and after the Closing, Purchaser and Agent will, and will cause its employees to, provide Sellers with reasonable assistance, support and cooperation with Sellers’ wind-down and related activities (e.g., helping to locate documents or information related to preparation of Tax Returns or prosecution or processing of insurance/benefit claims).

(d) Except as set forth in subsection (a) above, Purchaser and Agent will not, and will not permit any member of the Purchaser Group to, contact any officer, manager, director, employee, customer, supplier, lessee, lessor, lender, noteholder or other material business relation of the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing with respect to the Company, its Subsidiaries, their Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the Company for each such contact.

6.3 Regulatory Approvals.

(a) The Company will (i) make or cause to be made all filings and submissions required to be made by the Company or its Subsidiaries under any applicable Laws for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement set forth on Schedule 6.3, (ii) cooperate with Purchaser and Agent in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as Purchaser or Agent may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and (iii) (A) supply promptly any additional information and documentary material that may be requested in connection with such filings and (B) use reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to obtain all required clearances in connection with such filings.

(b) Purchaser and Agent will, and will cause their Affiliates and Advisors to, (i) make or cause to be made all filings and submissions required to be made by any member of the Purchaser Group under any applicable Laws for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) cooperate with the Company in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the Company may reasonably request in connection with all of the foregoing, and (iii) (A) supply promptly any additional information and documentary material that may be requested in connection with such filings and (B) use reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to obtain all required clearances.

6.4 Reasonable Efforts; Cooperation.

(a) Subject to the other terms of this Agreement provisions hereof, each Party shall, and shall cause its Advisors to, use its reasonable best efforts to perform its obligations hereunder and to take, or cause to be taken, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to cause the transactions contemplated herein to be effected as soon as practicable, but in any event on or prior to the Outside Date, in accordance with the terms hereof and to cooperate with each other Party, Agent and their Advisors in connection with any step required to be taken as a part of its obligations hereunder. The “reasonable best efforts” of a Party will not require such Party to expend any money to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty, to commence any Action, to waive or surrender any right, to modify any Contract or to waive or forego any right, remedy or condition hereunder.

35

(b) The obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement, including this Section 6.5, shall be subject to any Orders entered, or approvals or authorizations granted or required, by or under the Bankruptcy Court or the Bankruptcy Code (including in connection with the Bankruptcy Case), the Sellers’ agreements regarding use of cash collateral, and each of the Sellers’ obligations as a debtor-in-possession to comply with any order of the Bankruptcy Court (including the Bidding Procedures Order and the Sale Order) and the Sellers’ duty to seek and obtain the highest or otherwise best price for the Subject Assets as required by the Bankruptcy Code.

6.5 Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) The Company will promptly notify Purchaser and Agent of: (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Body related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) promptly upon discovery thereof, any variances from, or the existence or occurrence of any event, fact or circumstance arising after the execution of this Agreement that would reasonably be expected to cause, any of the representations and warranties contained in Article III to be untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 7.2(b) not to be satisfied. If the subject matter of any such notification required by the previous sentence requires any change in the Schedules, the Company shall deliver to Purchaser prior to the Closing a supplement to such Schedule (the “Updated Schedules”) with such change; provided that in no event will any Updated Schedule serve to amend, supplement or modify the Schedules for purposes of Section 7.2(b); provided further that no Updated Schedule will limit the remedies to which Purchaser and Agent are entitled under this Agreement and that if the Closing occurs, the Updated Schedules will be considered and deemed to be part of the Schedules for all purposes under this Agreement, and each reference in this Agreement to a particular Schedule will mean such Schedule in, or as updated by, the Updated Schedules.

(b) Purchaser will promptly notify the Company of: (i) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) any notice or other communication from any Governmental Body related to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) any Actions relating to or involving or otherwise affecting Purchaser or its Affiliates that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 4.6 or that relate to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iv) any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement at any time during the term hereof that could reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Article VII not to be satisfied; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.5(b) will not limit the remedies available to the Sellers under or with respect to this Agreement.

36

6.6 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any Party and at such requesting Party’s expense, any other Party will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and will take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting Party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7 Insurance Matters. Purchaser acknowledges that, upon Closing, all nontransferable insurance coverage provided in relation to Sellers and the Subject Assets that is maintained by any Seller or its Affiliates (whether such policies are maintained with third party insurers or with such Seller or its Affiliates) shall cease to provide any coverage to Purchaser and the Subject Assets and no further coverage shall be available to Purchaser or the Subject Assets under any such policies.

6.8 Privacy.

(a) Following Closing, Purchaser shall (i) become the successor-in-interest to the Sellers’ privacy policies in effect on the Petition Date or shall adopt policies that are at least as protective of consumer privacy as the terms of Sellers’ privacy policies; (ii) adhere to all material terms of Sellers’ privacy policies; and (iii) be liable for any violation of Sellers’ privacy policies after Closing.

(b) Purchaser agrees that prior to making any material change to Sellers’ privacy policies, including any changes to the use or disclosure of personally identifiable information, Purchaser shall, to the extent required by applicable Law, (i) provide customers with notice of the proposed change in accordance with Sellers’ privacy policies; (ii) direct customers to the Purchaser’s privacy policy; and (iii) provide each customer with the opportunity to opt out to the proposed change to the Sellers’ privacy policies with any such modifications only being binding on those customers who do not opt out.

(c) Within ten (10) days of Closing, Purchaser shall advise customers that (i) Purchaser was the successful bidder for Sellers’ assets; (ii) as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser purchased personally identifiable information of customers of the Sellers; (iii) Purchaser is the successor-in-interest under the Sellers’ privacy policies and (iv) email addresses and other personally identifiable information collected by the Sellers in accordance with the Sellers’ privacy policies will be transferred to the Purchaser unless an opt-out request is received within seven (7) days.

6.9 Receipt of Misdirected Assets. From and after the Closing, if any Seller or any of its respective Affiliates receives any asset that is a Subject Asset, the applicable Seller shall promptly transfer or cause such of its Affiliates to transfer or designate to Agent such asset (and shall promptly endorse and deliver any such asset that is received in the form of cash, checks or other documents) to Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, and such asset will be deemed the property of Purchaser held in trust by such Seller for Purchaser until so transferred or subject to the rights of Agent herein or in the Agency Agreement. From and after the Closing, if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives any asset that is an Excluded Asset, Purchaser shall promptly transfer or cause such of its Affiliates to transfer such asset (and shall promptly endorse and deliver any such asset that is received in the form of cash, checks, or other documents) to the Company, and such asset will be deemed the property of the Company held in trust by Purchaser for the Company until so transferred.

37

6.10 Transition Services. Prior to the Closing, the Parties will negotiate in good faith and agree to the form of a definitive transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) reflecting the terms set forth in the Transitions Services Agreement Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “TSA Term Sheet”) and such other terms as negotiated in good faith and reasonably agreed between the Parties, in a form (a) customary for transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement and by the TSA Term Sheet and (b) reasonably acceptable to the Company and Purchaser, in their respective reasonable discretion.

6.11 Preference Actions. Sellers covenant and agree that they will not make a demand related to or assert or file any Preference Action, or sell, assign, or otherwise transfer any Preference Action prior to Closing. At Closing, Purchaser shall purchase and then forever release and irrevocably waive all Preference Actions, provided, however, that the Purchaser may assert any Preference Action for defensive purposes only.

38

None of Purchaser or the Sellers may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article VII, as applicable, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such Party’s failure to use, as required by this Agreement, its reasonable best efforts to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

39

(b) by written notice of either Purchaser or the Company, upon the issuance by any Governmental Body of an Order restraining, enjoining, or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or declaring unlawful the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Order having become final, binding and non-appealable; provided that no termination may be made by a Party under this Section 8.1(b) if the issuance of such Order was caused by the breach or action or inaction of such Party;

(c) by written notice of either Purchaser or the Company, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before December 20, 2019 (the “Outside Date”); provided that a Party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if the failure of the Closing to have occurred by the Outside Date was caused by the breach or action or inaction of such Party;

(d) by written notice of either Purchaser or the Company, if the Bankruptcy Case is dismissed or converted to a case or cases under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or if a trustee or examiner with expanded powers to operate or manage the financial affairs or reorganization of the Company is appointed in the Bankruptcy Case;

(e) by written notice from Purchaser to the Company, if Sellers announce any stand-alone plan of reorganization or liquidation (or support any such plan filed by any other party) that does not contemplate the Sale and provide for Sellers’ performance under the Transition Services Agreement;

(f) by written notice from the Company to Purchaser, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser, or if any representation or warranty of Purchaser will have become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) would not be satisfied, including a breach of Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing; provided that (i) if such breach is curable by Purchaser then the Company may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(f) unless Purchaser has been promptly notified of such breach and such breach has not been cured by the date which is the earlier of (A) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (B) thirty (30) days after the Company notifies Purchaser of such breach and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) will not be available to the Company at any time that the Company is in material breach of, any covenant, representation or warranty hereunder;

(g) by written notice from Purchaser to the Company, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of any Seller, or if any representation or warranty of any Seller will have become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(b) or 7.2(c); provided that (i) if such breach is curable by such Seller then Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(g) unless the Company has been promptly notified of such breach and such breach has not been cured by the date which is the earlier of (A) two (2) Business Days prior to the Outside Date and (B) thirty (30) days after Purchaser notifies the Company of such breach and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) will not be available to Purchaser at any time that Purchaser is in material breach of, any covenant, representation or warranty hereunder;

40

(h) by written notice from the Company to Purchaser, if all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 have been satisfied (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) or waived and Purchaser fails to complete the Closing at the time required by Section 2.4;

(j) by written notice of either Purchaser, if (i) any Seller enters into one or more Alternative Transactions with one or more Persons other than Purchaser or the Successful Bidder or the Backup Bidder at the Auction or (ii) the Bankruptcy Court approves an Alternative Transaction other than with the Successful Bidder or the Backup Bidder; and

(k) by written notice from Purchaser to the Company, if Purchaser is not the Successful Bidder or the Backup Bidder at the Auction.

8.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is terminated as provided herein, then each of the Parties will be relieved of its duties and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and there will be no Liability or obligation on Purchaser, any Seller or any of their respective Advisors, except as specifically set forth in this Section 8.2; provided, however, that Section 2.2, this Section 8.2, and Article X shall survive any such termination and will be enforceable hereunder; provided further that nothing in this Section 8.2 will be deemed to release any Party from Liability for any willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination (which, for the avoidance of doubt, will be deemed to include any failure by Purchaser to consummate the Closing if and when it is obligated to do so hereunder) and nothing in this Section 8.2 will be deemed to interfere with Sellers’ rights to retain the Deposit or Sellers’ obligation to return the Deposit to Purchaser, in each case as provided in Section 2.2.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.2, (i) if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Agreement other than pursuant to Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(f), Section 8.1(h), or Section 8.1(l), and (ii) at the time of such termination, Purchaser is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b), then Sellers will pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, within three (3) Business Days following such termination of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a), (i) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(e), Section 8.1(g), Section 8.1(i), Section 8.1(j), or Section 8.1(k) and (ii) at the time of such termination, Purchaser is not then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or 7.3(b), then Sellers will pay the Break-Up Fee (less any Expense Reimbursement Amount paid to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.2(b)) to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, concurrently with the consummation of any Alternative Transaction consummated within twelve (12) months after such termination.

41

(d) In the event that the Expense Reimbursement Amount is payable in accordance with this Section 8.2, Sellers will pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court, within three Business Days following the earlier of execution by the Sellers of a definitive agreement for an Alternative Transaction (including entry into a plan support agreement or filing a plan of reorganization before the Sale Termination Date, in each case, that does not contemplate the Sale and provide for Sellers’ performance under the Transition Services Agreement) or approval by the Bankruptcy Court of an Alternative Transaction.

(e) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(a), the Parties agree that the Purchaser’s right to the Break-Up Fee and the Expense Reimbursement Amount as set forth herein is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Purchaser for its efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision as of the date hereof. The Parties agree that if this Agreement is terminated in circumstances under which the Expense Reimbursement Amount and/or Break-Up Fee is payable, Purchaser’s receipt of the Expense Reimbursement Amount and/or the Break-Up Fee in accordance with this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Purchaser against Sellers and any of their respective Affiliates for any Liability, damage or other loss suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated, and upon payment of such amounts, none of Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any further monetary Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) The obligation of Sellers to pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount and the Break-Up Fee is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Stalking Horse Order and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

TAXES

9.1 Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset, stamp, documentary stamp, use, or other Taxes and recording charges payable by reason of the sale of the Subject Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and timely paid by Purchaser (with respect to any Acquired Assets) or Agent (with respect to any Designated Assets), and Purchaser or Agent, as applicable, shall timely file all Tax Returns related to any such Transfer Taxes. Sellers, Agent, and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to exempt all such transactions from any Transfer Taxes.

42

9.2 Allocation of Purchase Price. For U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, Purchaser, Agent, the Sellers, and their respective Affiliates shall allocate the purchase price (and any Assumed Liabilities treated as part of the purchase price for applicable income Tax purposes) among the Subject Assets in accordance with the methodology set forth in Schedule 9.1 (the “Allocation Methodology”). As soon as commercially practicable, but no later than forty-five (45) days following the determination of the final purchase price, Purchaser and Agent shall provide a proposed allocation to the Sellers setting forth the allocation of the purchase price (and other amounts treated as purchase price for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) among the Subject Assets in accordance with the Allocation Methodology (the “Allocation”). If the Sellers deliver a written objection within thirty (30) days after receipt of the draft Allocation proposed by Purchaser and Agent, then Purchaser, Agent, and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objection, and, if the Sellers and Purchaser cannot resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s and Agent’s receipt of the Sellers’ objection, then a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchaser, Agent, and the Sellers shall resolve such dispute and the resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Parties and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns in accordance with such Allocation (as finally determined under this Section 9.1) and not take any Tax related action inconsistent with the Allocation, in each case, unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

9.3 Cooperation. Purchaser, Agent, and the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Action, audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.

9.4 Property and Ad Valorem Taxes.

(a) In each case, without duplication of any amount otherwise reflected as a downward adjustment to Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to (or there shall be a downward adjustment to Purchase Price in favor of) (i) Purchaser with respect to any Acquired Assets and (ii) the Agent with respect to any Designated Assets, in each case, in the amount of unpaid real estate, personal property and other ad valorem Taxes for 2019 relating to the applicable Subject Assets with respect to the period from January 1, 2019, through the Closing Date based on the 2019 ad valorem Tax bills relating to the Subject Assets; provided that if any such 2019 ad valorem Tax bills have not been received prior to the Closing Date, an amount shall be calculated and paid to Purchaser or the Agent, as applicable, by Seller based upon the ad valorem Tax rate and Tax valuation applicable to the Subject Assets that were in effect for 2018. A substantially identical approach shall be utilized for allocation of any ad valorem Taxes payable other than in respect of a calendar year.

(b) In each case, without duplication of any amount otherwise reflected as an upward adjustment to Purchase Price, Purchaser (with respect to any Acquired Assets) or Agent (with respect to any Designated Assets) shall pay to (or there shall be an upward adjustment to Purchase Price in favor of) Seller in the amount of prepaid real estate, personal property, and other ad valorem Taxes for 2019 relating to the Subject Assets with respect to periods after the Closing Date based on the 2019 ad valorem Tax bills relating to the Subject Assets; provided that if any such 2019 ad valorem Tax bills have not been received prior to the Closing Date, an amount shall be calculated and paid by Purchaser or the Agent, as applicable, to Seller based upon the ad valorem Tax rate and Tax valuation applicable to the Subject Assets that were in effect for 2018. A substantially identical approach shall be utilized for allocation of any ad valorem Taxes payable other than in respect of a calendar year.

43

9.5 Amendment. Purchaser shall not file any Tax Return, file an amendment to any previously-filed Tax Return, or otherwise take any Tax position that has the effect of increasing any Tax due for a Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to the Subject Assets, unless such position is determined to be required at a “should” or higher level of authority by a nationally recognized accounting firm or law firm. Upon such determination, Purchaser shall provide no less than forty-five (45) days’ notice to the Company of such position before filing any such Tax Return. In the event the Company disagrees with such Tax position, and the dispute cannot be resolved between the Parties, such dispute shall be submitted to an independent national accounting firm or law firm for resolution, with the costs of such resolution to be evenly split by Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand. The determination of such independent national accounting firm or law firm shall be binding on all Parties and any Tax Return shall be filed consistently with such resolution.

9.6 Tax Treatment of Dispositions. Purchaser, Agent, and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that for federal income tax purposes (and all applicable state and local income tax purposes), the Subject Assets shall be treated as having been sold to the Purchaser and the Designated Assets shall be treated as having been sold to the Agent, in each case, on the Closing Date, and none of the Parties or their respective Affiliates shall take any Tax-related action inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties and Certain Covenants; Certain Waivers. Each of the representations and warranties and the covenants and agreements (to the extent such covenant or agreement contemplates or requires performance by such Party prior to the Closing) of the Parties set forth in this Agreement or in any other document contemplated hereby, or in any certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder, will terminate effective immediately as of the Closing such that no claim for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, detrimental reliance or other right or remedy (whether in contract, in tort or at law or in equity) may be brought with respect thereto after the Closing, except for Fraud. Each covenant and agreement that explicitly contemplates performance after the Closing, will, in each case and to such extent, expressly survive the Closing in accordance with its terms, and if no term is specified, then for six (6) years following the Closing Date, and nothing in this Section 10.1 will be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of any Person for breach of any such surviving covenant or agreement or Fraud. Purchaser and the Sellers Parties acknowledge and agree, on their own behalf and on behalf of the Purchaser Group or the Seller Parties, as the case may be, that the agreements contained in this Section 10.1 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that, without the agreements set forth in this Section 10.1, none of the Parties would enter into this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 10.1 shall relieve the Sellers of their obligations under the Transition Services Agreement.

44

10.2 Expenses. Whether or not the Closing takes place, except as otherwise provided herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 8.2), all fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of Advisors) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, the performance of this Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will be paid by the Party incurring such fees, costs and expenses; it being acknowledged and agreed that all Transfer Taxes will be allocated pursuant to Section 9.1.

10.9 Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and will in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.

47

10.10 Schedules. The Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement; however, each section of the Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other section of the Schedules, and any disclosure in the Schedules will be deemed a disclosure against any representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement, solely to the extent readily apparent on the face of such disclosure. Capitalized terms used in the Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Schedules or the attached exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course or consistent with past practice, and no Party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Schedules, Updated Schedules, or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Schedules or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the Ordinary Course. In addition, matters reflected in the Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No information set forth in the Schedules will be deemed to broaden in any way the scope of the parties’ representations and warranties. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Schedules and exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including any violation of Law or breach of contract.

10.11 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the Agency Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement and any other agreements expressly referred to herein or therein, contains the entire agreement of the parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Agency Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement will control and prior drafts of this Agreement and the documents referenced herein will not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parol evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement), will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of the provisions hereof or the intent of the Parties with respect hereto and will be deemed joint work product of the Parties.

10.12 Specific Performance.

(a) The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof, including if any of the Parties fails to take any action required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific

48

performance or other equitable relief without proof of damages or posting a bond or other security to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, no right or remedy described or provided in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive or to preclude a Party from pursuing other rights and remedies to the extent available under this Agreement, at law or in equity. The right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company or any Seller Party nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. If, prior to the Outside Date, any Party brings any action, in each case in accordance with Section 10.13 to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the Outside Date will automatically be extended (a) for the period during which such action is pending, plus ten (10) Business Days or (b) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be. Nothing in this Section 10.12 shall restrict or otherwise limit the Company’s ability to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(i). In no event will this Section 10.12 be used, alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require any Seller to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty of any Seller made herein. In no event will this Section 10.12 be deemed to modify the terms of Section 2.2.

10.13 Jurisdiction and Exclusive Venue. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action that may be based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby brought by any other Party or its successors or assigns will be brought and determined only in (a) the Bankruptcy Court and any federal court to which an appeal from the Bankruptcy Court may be validly taken or (b) if the Bankruptcy Court is unwilling or unable to hear such Action, in the Delaware Chancery Court and any state court sitting in the State of Delaware to which an appeal from the Delaware Chancery Court may be validly taken (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the state of Delaware) ((a) and (b), the “Chosen Courts”), and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the Chosen Courts, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any Chosen Court, and no Party will file a motion to dismiss any Action filed in a Chosen Court on any jurisdictional or venue-related grounds, including the doctrine of forum non-conveniens. The Parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in any of the Chosen Courts, and hereby irrevocably waive any objection that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of such Action. Each of the Parties further irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

10.14 Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

49

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE DOCUMENTS AND AGREEMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND THEREFORE HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED ON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH ACTION WILL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO ADVISOR OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.15 No Right of Set-Off.

10.16 Counterparts and PDF. This Agreement and any other agreements referred to herein or therein, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party hereto or thereto, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, PDF or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. Minor variations in the form of the signature page to this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, will be disregarded in determining the effectiveness of such signature. At the request of any party or pursuant to any such contract, each other party hereto or thereto will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such contract will raise the use of a facsimile machine, .PDF or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine, .PDF or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

50

10.17 Publicity. Neither the Company, Purchaser, nor Agent shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of each of the other Parties, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, Agent or the Company, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Purchaser, Agent or the Company lists securities, provided that the Party intending to make such release shall use its best efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other Party with respect to the text thereof.

The Parties intend that pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of the Acquired Assets shall be free and clear of any security interests in the Acquired Assets, including any liens or claims arising out of the bulk transfer laws, and the parties shall take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to so provide in the Sale Order. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives compliance by the Parties with the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfers” or similar Laws and all other similar Laws in all applicable jurisdictions in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.19 No Solicitation. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein and therein are the product of negotiations among the Parties.
