(b) Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Preliminary Statement”) reflecting the Seller’s good faith estimate of the Purchase Price as of the Closing Date. Such calculation shall be prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Seller; provided, that the calculation of the Inventory Value as of the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Inventory Value”), shall be based on a physical inventory count conducted by the Seller during October, 2013, which count may be observed by the Buyer and the Buyer’s accountants, Ernst & Young LLP. At the Closing, in consideration of the sale of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer, the Buyer shall, and the Parent shall cause the Buyer to, pay to the Seller (or its designee) an amount equal to the Purchase Price as set forth in the Preliminary Statement by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Seller.

2.5 Purchase Price Adjustment. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(a) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer a statement (the “Closing Date Statement”) setting forth the actual Inventory Value as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Inventory Value”), prepared in a manner consistent with the preparation of, and based on, the Preliminary Inventory Value; provided, that the Seller shall not be required to conduct an additional physical inventory count in connection with such calculation. The Closing Date Statement shall include a copy of the inventory data, including valuation, upon which such statement is based. The Closing Date Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 30th day following delivery thereof (or, if the Buyer earlier confirms in writing its agreement with the Closing Date Statement, upon the Seller’s receipt of such confirmation), unless the Buyer gives notice of its disagreement with the Closing Date Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to the Seller prior to such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and (ii) only include disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on the Inventory Value as of the Closing Date not being calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If a Notice of Disagreement is received by the Seller in a timely manner, then the Closing Date Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the Buyer and the Seller on the earlier of (A) the date the Buyer and the Seller resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement and (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Buyer and the Seller shall seek in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. Unless otherwise agreed by the Buyer and the Seller in writing, at the end of such 30-day period, the Buyer and the Seller shall submit to an independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) for arbitration, in accordance with the standards set forth in this Section 2.5, only matters that remain in dispute and were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement in accordance with this Section 2.5 and any claim of calculation-related errors. The Accounting Firm shall be a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller in writing. The Buyer and the Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within 30 days of the receipt of such submission. The scope of the disputes to be resolved by the Accounting Firm shall be limited to whether the items in dispute that were properly included in the Notice of Disagreement were correctly determined pursuant to this Section 2.5 and may include calculation-related errors, and the Accounting Firm is not to make any other determination. The Accounting Firm’s decision shall be based solely on written submissions by the Buyer and the Seller and their respective representatives and by reference to the terms of this Agreement. The Seller and the Buyer shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information related to the disputed matters as the Accounting Firm may request and are reasonably available to the Seller, the Buyer or their respective agents. The Accounting Firm shall address only those items in dispute and calculation-related errors. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm incurred pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be borne by the Buyer and the Seller equally.

(b) Within five Business Days after the Closing Date Statement becomes final and binding on the parties pursuant to this Section 2.5, the Buyer shall, and the Parent shall cause the Buyer to, pay to the Seller an amount equal to the amount by which the Closing Date Inventory Value exceeds the Preliminary Inventory Value, by wire transfer in immediately available funds (or, in the event that the Preliminary Inventory Value exceeds the Closing Date Inventory Value, the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to the amount by which the Preliminary Inventory Value exceeds the Closing Date Inventory Value, by wire transfer of immediately available funds).

(c) The Seller agrees that following the Closing it shall not take any actions, including by not maintaining appropriate books and records, which would affect the ability of any party to calculate the Closing Date Inventory Value in accordance with the terms hereof, determine the grounds for any Notice of Disagreement or evaluate any disagreement set forth in a Notice of Disagreement. During the period of time from and after the delivery of the Closing Date Statement through the final determination of the Closing Date Statement, the Buyer and/or its authorized representatives shall have the right, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to examine and have copies of those books and records of the Seller relevant to the preparation of the Closing Date Statement, and may have reasonable access to employees of the Seller for purposes of asking questions relating to the preparation of the Closing Date Statement. Such rights of access shall be exercised in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Seller.

2.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. Appendix A sets forth an allocation of the Purchase Price (and all other capitalized costs) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Code §1060 (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as appropriate), subject to any post-Closing adjustment to the Purchase Price provided in this Agreement. Any post-Closing adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be reflected in the Purchase Price allocation as revised hereunder in a manner consistent with Appendix A and as agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller at the time of the applicable adjustment (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each of the Buyer and the Seller acknowledges and confirms that the allocation was determined at arm’s length based on fair market values and their willingness to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Buyer and the Seller, and their respective Affiliates, shall report, act and file all income and franchise Tax Returns (including, but not limited to, Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with such allocation. Neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) for income or franchise Tax purposes that is inconsistent with such allocation, unless required to do so by applicable Law. In the event the allocation is audited or disputed by any Tax Authority, the party receiving notice thereof shall promptly notify the other party, and each of the Seller and the Buyer shall provide each other with all documents, forms and other information regarding the allocation of the Purchase Price as it may reasonably request in order to defend such audit or dispute.

2.7 Actions Simultaneous. All actions to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties at the Closing shall be deemed to have been taken and executed and delivered simultaneously and no actions shall be deemed to have been taken nor shall any documents be deemed to have been executed and delivered until all actions have been taken and all documents have been executed and delivered.

All employment by the Buyer of the Non-Store Employees who accept the Seller’s offer of employment shall commence employment with the Buyer as of the Closing Date. All of the Business Employees employed at the Bass retail stores on the day prior to the Closing Date (other than those employed at the Excluded Stores) shall be offered employment by the Buyer and, subject to acceptance of such offer, shall become employees of the Buyer as of the Closing Date (each, a “Store Employee”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Store Employee or Store Employee who accepts the Buyer’s offer of employment and who is absent from work on the Closing Date due to vacation or other authorized short-term leave of absence or paid time off will not become an employee of the Buyer as of the Closing Date unless he or she returns to active employment by the time required under the terms of such authorized absence; and, if such employee is absent due to long term disability or other authorized long term leave of absence, he or she will become an employee of the Buyer on the date such employee returns to active employment with the Buyer promptly following the expiration of such disability or other long term leave of absence.

Each Non-Store Employee and Store Employee to whom employment is offered shall be offered substantially the same base salary or hourly wage (but not bonuses or equity grants) as in effect for such Non-Store Employee or Store Employee, as the case may be, on the date hereof, and employee benefits, including bonus eligibility or equity grants, in accordance with the Buyer’s existing policies. The Buyer shall provide each Non-Store Employee and Store Employee who it employs (collectively, the “Transferred Employees”) with credit for years of service with the Seller prior to the Closing Date for the purpose of eligibility, vesting and seniority under the Buyer’s employee benefit plans.

In the event that any Non-Store Employee employed by the Buyer is terminated by the Buyer during the one-year period immediately following the Closing Date, such Non-Store Employee shall be eligible for severance based on the Seller’s applicable severance policy in effect on the date hereof with the cost of such severance borne by the Buyer.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, make any comment or act in any manner, which is derogatory towards, or which is not respectful, complimentary and supportive of, the Buyer, the Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries or any of their officers, directors or employees (current or former), their operation of the Business, the Business itself or any products manufactured, sold or distributed by the Buyer, the Parent, their respective Affiliates, their licensees or their licensors. Each of the Buyer and the Parent shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, issue or make any comment or act in any manner which is derogatory towards, or which is not respectful of, the Seller or any of its subsidiaries or any of their officers, directors or employees (current or former), their operation of the Business, or any products manufactured, sold or distributed by the Seller, its Affiliates, its licensees or its licensors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Buyer, the Parent, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates from making any such comments that are specifically related to asserting their claims or defending themselves against claims filed in a court of law or with another body exercising arbitration or similar quasi-judicial authority or power or defending itself against claims made by the Buyer, the Parent or the Seller.

(d) Each of the Buyer, the Parent and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 6.2 have been negotiated in good faith by each of them. Each of the Buyer, the Parent and the Seller further acknowledges that (i) the goodwill associated with the existing Business, vendors, customers and assets of the Business prior to the transactions contemplated herein is an integral component of the value of the Business to the Buyer and is reflected in the consideration to be received by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 6.2 are necessary to preserve the value of the Business for the Buyer following the transaction. The Seller further acknowledges that the limitations agreed to in this Section 6.2 are reasonable because, among other things: (A) the Buyer, the Parent and the Seller are engaged in a highly competitive industry and their operations are worldwide, (B) the Seller has unique access to, and will continue to have access to, Confidential Information, including trade secrets, and know-how of the Business, (C) the Seller is receiving significant consideration in connection with the transactions contemplated herein and (D) this Section 6.2 provides no more protection than is necessary to protect the Buyer’s interest in the goodwill of the Business, Confidential Information and trade secrets. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Section 6.2 shall be held to be excessively broad as to scope, territory or period of time, such provisions shall be construed by limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by applicable Law.

(e) Except as required by Law, the Seller shall hold in confidence all Confidential Information obtained in the course of its ownership of or participation in, the Business (whether obtained prior to or following the Closing Time) or otherwise which is either non-public, confidential or proprietary in nature. The Seller shall, subject to any requirement of Law, keep such Confidential Information confidential and such Confidential Information shall not, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, be disclosed by it to any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Seller or its representatives is requested or required by law, rule, regulation or legal process (including by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, criminal or civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information or make any disclosure that is prohibited under this Section 6.2(e), the Seller will, to the extent legally permitted, provide the Buyer with prompt written notice of such request so that the Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.2(e). The Seller will reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in such regard at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or that the Buyer waives compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.2(e), the Seller and its representatives will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed, the Seller will give the Buyer written notice of the information to be disclosed as far in advance as practicable, and, upon the Buyer’s request and at its sole cost and expense, the Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed.

The Seller and the Buyer shall jointly prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed in a timely manner all Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to Transfer Taxes.

(c) Each of the Seller and the Buyer shall provide the other with such assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any Tax audit or other examination by any Governmental Authority or any judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes attributable to the Purchased Assets or the Business, and each shall provide the other with any records or information relevant to such Tax Return, Tax audit, examination or proceeding. Such assistance shall include making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of material provided hereunder and providing copies of any relevant Tax Returns and supporting work schedules. The party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for reasonable expenses incurred in providing such assistance. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes for a taxable period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending before, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on or after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable periods, one which ended at the close of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit, and state and local apportionment factors for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable periods on a “closing of the books basis”.

Any Claim Notice shall be given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnitor promptly after the Indemnitee becomes aware of the claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall not be foreclosed from seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article IX by any failure to provide timely notice of the existence of an Action to the Indemnitor except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor has been materially damaged or prejudiced as a result of such delay.

9.7 Third Party Claims. In the case of any third party Action as to which indemnification is sought by an Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall have 30 days after receipt of a Claim Notice to notify the Indemnitee that it elects to conduct and control such Action at its own expense.

The parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to minimize any Damages from claims by third parties and shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims, notwithstanding any dispute as to liability under this Article IX.

9.8 Payments. Once Damages are agreed to by the Indemnitor or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnitor shall satisfy its obligations within ten (10) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

9.9 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of an Indemnitor, and the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnitee (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnitee or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.
