Between the date hereof and the Closing, Sellers shall cooperate with and provide such additional information to Purchaser with respect to such Contracts and the associated Cure Costs as may be reasonably necessary in order to identify all Contracts. Prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall supplement such list to add any Contracts used in, or otherwise related to, the Business which were entered into by Sellers during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases.
(b)On January 15, 2025, Sellers filed the Sale Motion, seeking, among other things, to cause notice to be provided regarding the potential assumption and assignment to Purchaser of all Contracts.
(c)No later than 35 days following the Petition Date, Sellers shall file a notice to fix the Cure Costs associated with each Contract, which shall have an objection deadline established under the Sale Procedures Order, which deadline Purchaser and Sellers will negotiate in good faith and agree within three days of filing such notice on the Cure Costs Cap, which shall be based on the Cure Costs set forth in such notice plus a reasonable buffer, which shall be no later than three days in advance of the Auction.
(d)From and after the date hereof through the Closing, no Seller shall (and Sellers shall cause each Purchased Entity to not), directly or indirectly, reject or take any action (or fail to take any action that would (or would reasonably be likely to) result in rejection by operation of law) to reject, repudiate or disclaim any Contract used in, or otherwise related to, the Business without the prior written consent (email being sufficient) of Purchaser (including by filing any motions with the Bankruptcy Court seeking authorization to assume or reject (or Orders with respect to the assumption or rejection of) any Contracts). Sellers may not amend, modify or compromise with respect to Cure Costs or other material terms of any Contract without the prior written consent (email being sufficient) of Purchaser.
(e)For the purposes of determining whether a Contract (including a Lease of Leased Real Property) or Benefit Plan of Sellers shall be included as a Purchased Contract, Purchased Real
23

Property Lease or Assumed Benefit Plan (as the case may be) on the one hand, or an Excluded Asset, on the other hand, from and after the filing of the Sale Motion all Contracts shall be treated as follows:
(i)no later than three days prior to the Auction, Purchaser shall notify Sellers in writing of those Contracts, and Benefit Plans which Purchaser desires to be designated to be assigned to Purchaser on the Closing Date by providing Sellers with Schedule I, Schedule II and Schedule III; provided that, such Schedules may be subsequently modified in accordance with Section 2.5(e)(iv);
(ii)[Reserved];
(iii)promptly following any Seller’s entry into any Contract used in, or otherwise related to, the Business or Benefit Plan during the pendency of the Bankruptcy Cases, Sellers shall provide written notice of such Contract or Benefit Plan and Purchaser shall notify Sellers in writing (email being sufficient) prior to the Closing Date whether Purchaser shall (A) purchase such Contract or Benefit Plan as a Purchased Asset (in which case, such Contract or Benefit Plan, as applicable, shall be included on Schedule I, Schedule II or Schedule III, as applicable) or (B) not purchase such Contract or Benefit Plan (in which case, such Contract or Benefit Plan, as applicable, shall not be assigned to Purchaser and shall constitute an Excluded Asset);
(iv)until 11:59 PM (New York, New York time) on the date that is the earlier of (x) the effective date of a Chapter 11 Plan and (y) 60 days following the Closing Date, if it is discovered that a Contract or Benefit Plan should have been listed on Schedule I, Schedule II and/or Schedule III, as applicable, but was not listed thereon (each, an “Omitted Contract”), (A) Sellers or Purchaser, as applicable, shall immediately following discovery thereof (but in no event later than three Business Days after such discovery) notify the other party(ies) hereto of such Omitted Contract, (B) Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of the corresponding related Cure Costs thereof (if any), and (C) if Purchaser agrees (in its sole discretion), in writing (email being sufficient) to assume such Omitted Contract as a Purchased Contract, Purchased Real Property Lease or Assumed Benefit Plan hereunder, as applicable, Sellers shall, if such schedule has been filed at the time of discovery of the Omitted Contract, file an amended schedule of Purchased Contracts, Purchased Real Property Leases or Assumed Benefit Plans, as applicable, with the Bankruptcy Court on notice to the counterparties to such Omitted Contract which shall provide that Sellers are seeking entry of an order (which may be the Sale Order) fixing the Cure Costs with respect thereto and approving the assumption and assignment of such Omitted Contract. Upon entry of such order by the Bankruptcy Court, such Omitted Contract shall become a Purchased Contract, Purchased Real Property Lease or Assumed Benefit Plan, as applicable, and be included on Schedule I, Schedule II or Schedule III, as applicable. If there is a Cure Cost dispute or other dispute as to the assumption and assignment of such Omitted Contract that has not been resolved to the satisfaction of Purchaser by the earlier of (I) the effective date of a Chapter 11 Plan or (II) 60 days following the Closing Date, Purchaser may elect to designate such Omitted Contract as an Excluded Asset pursuant to Section 2.5(e)(v) (as applied mutatis mutandis) following the Bankruptcy Court’s or the parties’ resolution of such dispute;
(v)at any time prior to the date that is three Business Days prior to the Closing Date (except as set forth in Section 2.5(e)(iv)), Purchaser shall have the right to provide written notice (email being sufficient) to Sellers of Purchaser’s election to designate any Contract (including any Lease) or Benefit Plan previously included as a Purchased Contract, Purchased Real Property Lease, Assumed Benefit Plan on Schedule I, Schedule II or Schedule III, as applicable, as an Excluded Asset, and upon such designation such Contract or Benefit Plan shall constitute an Excluded Asset;
(vi)at any time prior to the Closing Date (except as set forth in Section 2.5(e)(iv)), Purchaser shall have the right to provide written notice (email being sufficient) to Sellers of Purchaser’s election to designate any Contract or Benefit Plan previously included as an Excluded Asset, as a Purchased Contract, Purchased Real Property Lease or Assumed Benefit Plan, and upon such designation such Contract or Benefit Plan shall constitute a Purchased Contract, Purchased Real Property Lease or Assumed Benefit Plan;
(vii)subject to Section 2.5(e)(iv), prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Sellers final versions of Schedule I, Schedule II and Schedule III, and accordingly all Contracts (including
24

Leases) and Benefit Plans, as applicable, set forth thereon shall constitute Purchased Assets and be assigned to Purchaser at Closing, and all Contracts and Benefits Plans, as applicable, not set forth thereon shall not be assigned to Purchaser and shall constitute Excluded Assets; and
(viii)Purchaser shall provide, with respect to any Contract designated to be assumed and assigned hereunder as a Purchased Asset, such information or documentation related to “adequate assurance of future performance” as shall be reasonably required in connection with the assumption and assignment of such Contract, and upon Bankruptcy Court approval for the assumption and assignment thereof to Purchaser, any such Contract so designated shall constitute a Purchased Asset hereunder. Any Contract that is not assumed as provided above shall be an Excluded Asset, and shall not constitute a Purchased Asset hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, to the extent that, prior to Closing, any Assumed Benefit Plan, Purchased Real Property Lease or Purchased Contract is not subject to an order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the assumption and assignment of such Assumed Benefit Plan, Purchased Real Property Lease or Purchased Contract, any Liabilities of Sellers related to such Assumed Benefit Plan, Purchased Real Property Lease or Purchased Contract shall be the sole responsibility of Sellers unless such Assumed Benefit Plan, Purchased Real Property Lease or Purchased Contract is assigned to Purchaser as a Purchased Asset in accordance with this Agreement.
(f)At Closing, to the extent not previously paid, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid any and all Cure Costs in respect of all Contracts that are Purchased Contracts or Purchased Real Property Leases, subject to the Cure Costs Cap.
(g)Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt by Sellers to assign any Contract to the extent that such Contract is not assignable under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise without the consent of the other party or parties thereto where the consent of such other party has not been given or received, as applicable.
(h)With respect to (i) any Purchased Contract or Purchased Real Property Lease for which the consent of a party thereto to the assignment thereof is required (notwithstanding the entry of the Sale Order) shall not have been obtained at Closing and (ii) any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, in each case, to the extent Purchaser waives the condition set forth in Section 9.2(e) (to the extent applicable), prior to the Closing Date, Sellers (and Sellers shall cause each Purchased Entity to) and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as expeditiously as possible the written consent of the other party or parties to such Purchased Contract or Purchased Real Property Lease necessary for the assignment thereof to Purchaser. Until any such consent, waiver, confirmation, novation or approval is obtained, Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate to establish an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Sellers and Purchaser under which Purchaser would obtain the claims, rights and benefits and assume the corresponding Liabilities and obligations thereunder (including by means of any subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement). In such event, Sellers will hold in trust for and promptly pay to Purchaser, when received, all monies received by them under any such Purchased Contract or Purchased Real Property Lease or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder. Purchaser acknowledges that no adjustment to the Purchase Price shall be made for any Contracts that are not assigned. Until such written consent is obtained, Purchaser shall have the ability to designate any such Contract as an Excluded Asset. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed a waiver of Purchaser’s right to receive an effective assignment of all of the Purchased Assets at Closing nor shall any Contracts covered by this paragraph be deemed to constitute Excluded Assets solely by virtue of this paragraph.
(i)As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing, Sellers shall file with the Bankruptcy Court a final list of Purchased Contracts, Purchased Real Property Leases and Assumed Benefit Plans.
(j)At any time prior to the date that is two Business Days prior to the Auction, Purchaser shall be entitled to, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, designate (by delivery of written notice to Sellers of such designation) additional assets (including Purchased Equity Securities) or liabilities to purchase, assume or exclude, which assets and liabilities will thereinafter constitute “Purchased Assets,” “Excluded Assets,” “Assumed Liabilities,” or “Excluded Liabilities” hereunder, as applicable, provided that if Purchaser excludes any asset or liability that will impose upon Sellers additional Wind-Down Expenses, Purchaser shall increase the Wind-Down Amount in an amount to be negotiated in good faith
25

between Purchaser and Sellers. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.5(j) (i) shall not apply to designation of Contracts or Benefit Plans as assumed or excluded, which shall occur in accordance with the procedures set forth in Sections 2.5(a) through 2.5(i) above and (ii) shall not result in any adjustments to the Purchase Price.
ARTICLE III

Sellers and Purchaser shall (a) use the Allocation Schedule for the purpose of making the requisite filings under Section 1060 of the IRC, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (b) report, and cause their respective Affiliates to report, the federal, state, and local income and other Tax consequences of the transactions contemplated herein, and in particular to report the information required by Section 1060(b) of the IRC, and to jointly prepare Form 8594 (Asset Acquisition Statement under Section 1060 of the IRC) as promptly as possible following the Closing Date and in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule as finally determined hereunder, (c) promptly notify the other of the existence of any Tax audit, controversy, or litigation related to the Allocation Schedule, and (d) not take any position inconsistent with the Allocation Schedule as finally determined hereunder before any Taxing Authority unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the IRC (or any analogous provision of state, local or foreign law). Notwithstanding the allocation of the Purchase Price agreed among the parties hereto pursuant to this Section 3.2 for the aforementioned Tax purposes, nothing in the foregoing shall be determinative of values ascribed to the Purchased Assets or the allocation of the value of the Purchased Assets for any other purpose.
Section 3.3Withholding Rights. Purchaser and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold with respect to any payments made pursuant to this Agreement such amounts that are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to any such payments under the IRC or any other provision of applicable Law. Purchaser shall provide Sellers with reasonable advance notice of any proposed deduction and withholding prior to making any deduction and withholding of any amount payable to Sellers and shall consult in good faith with Sellers to reduce or eliminate the amount of such deduction and withholding.

(a)No later than three days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a list of active employees of Sellers to whom Purchaser intends to offer (or intends to cause its applicable Affiliate to offer) at will employment effective as of the Closing Date in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion on terms and conditions consistent with this Section 7.6 (which offers may, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, be made in the form of an “opt-out” transfer letter). Each such employee who is offered and accepts such offers of employment with Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate) based on the initial terms and conditions set by Purchaser (in its sole and absolute discretion) and further actually commences employment with Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate) as of the Closing Date will become a “Transferred Employee,” with such employment with Purchaser (or its applicable Affiliate) to commence at 10:01 AM (New York, New York time) on the Closing Date.

As soon as reasonably practicable following Purchaser’s request, and in any event no later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with a written schedule of each “employment loss” (as defined in the WARN Act) experienced by any employee or other service provider of Sellers during the 90-day period prior to the Closing Date (including the location of employment of such employee, and the reason for the employment loss) and such other information as Purchaser may reasonably request to determine whether any actions taken by Sellers prior to, upon, or after the Closing Date, or any actions taken by Purchaser or its Affiliates upon or after the Closing Date, is reasonably likely to require the delivery of notice or payment in lieu of notice (under the WARN Act or otherwise) to any individuals (it being understood that any notices or filings required under the WARN Act with respect to any “employment loss” with Sellers or their Affiliates shall remain the sole obligation of Sellers).

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.1Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Bankruptcy Code and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles thereof.
Section 12.2Jurisdiction; Forum; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury. With respect to any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, each of Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, hereby irrevocably:
(a)consents to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, as the sole judicial forum for the adjudication of any matters arising under or in connection with the Agreement. After Sellers are no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of the United States of America, in each case located in the State of New York, (“Selected Courts”) for any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (and agrees not to commence any Action relating hereto or thereto except in such courts) and waives any objection to venue being laid in the Selected Courts whether based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or otherwise;
(b)consents to service of process in any Action by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or by recognized international express carrier or delivery service, to Sellers, on the on hand, or Purchaser, on the other hand, at their respective addresses referred to in Section 12.5 hereof; provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law, and
(c)WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING, LITIGATION OR OTHER ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.
Section 12.3Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors by operation of law and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No assignment of this Agreement may be made by any party at any time, whether or not by operation of law, without, (a) with respect to an assignment by any Seller, the prior
57

written consent of Purchaser or (b) with respect to an assignment by Purchaser, the prior written consent of Sellers and, in each case, any attempted assignment or delegation without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that Purchaser may, without the consent of the other parties hereto, assign any and all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Affiliate(s) of Purchaser (including the right to acquire any or all of the Purchased Assets), which assignment, in either case, will not relieve Purchaser of any obligations hereunder. Except as specifically provided for herein, only the parties to this Agreement or their permitted assigns shall have rights under this Agreement; provided further, that such assignment by Purchaser shall be at no unreimbursed material cost, including Taxes, to any Seller; and provided further, that any Seller may, without the consent of the other parties hereto, assign any and all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any trustee, estate representative or other similar Person solely in connection with the Wind-Down Activities, liquidation (including any liquidating plan) and dissolution of any Seller.
Section 12.4Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and supersede all prior agreements relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as expressly provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived, discharged or terminated other than by a written instrument signed by Sellers and Purchaser expressly stating that such instrument is intended to amend, modify, supplement, waive, discharge or terminate this Agreement or such term hereof. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar).

Section 12.6Delays or Omissions. Except as expressly provided herein, no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to Sellers or Purchaser upon any breach or default of any party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of Sellers or Purchaser nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of Sellers or Purchaser of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any such party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law, in equity, or otherwise afforded to Sellers or Purchaser shall be cumulative and not alternative.
Section 12.7Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or by electronic transmission in .pdf format or other electronic method shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 12.8Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provisions; provided that no such severability shall be effective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party. Any provision held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.
Section 12.9Titles and Subtitles. The table of contents, titles, subtitles, and section headings used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.
Section 12.10No Public Announcement. Absent the prior written consent of the other party, neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall make any press release or public announcement or statement concerning the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except as and to the extent that any such party shall be obligated to make any such disclosure by this Agreement, by applicable Law or as necessary for any party to enforce its rights hereunder or thereunder, and then only after giving the other party(ies) hereto, to the extent reasonable and practicable, reasonably adequate time to review such disclosure and consider in good faith the comments of the other party(ies) hereto and consultation as to such comments with such party(ies) as to the content of such disclosure; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 12.10 shall restrict the parties hereto from making disclosures to the Bankruptcy Court or
59

in filings in the Bankruptcy Court; provided, that, to the extent practicable, the disclosing party provides the non-disclosing party with copies of all such filings or disclosures concerning the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, to be delivered to such non-disclosing party at least two Business Days in advance of any such filing or disclosure and that the disclosing party shall consider in good faith any comments made by the non-disclosing party to such filings or disclosures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties hereto and each of their respective employees, representatives or other agents, are permitted to disclose to any and all Persons, without limitations of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to such parties related to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, that the foregoing permission to disclose the tax treatment and tax structure does not permit the disclosure of any information that is not relevant to understanding the tax treatment or tax structure of the transactions (including the identity of any party and the amounts paid in connection with the transactions); provided, further, however, that the tax treatment and tax structure shall be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with securities Laws.
Section 12.11Specific Performance. Sellers and Purchaser agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if any of the parties fails to take any action required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that (a) Sellers or Purchaser will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the parties’ respective covenants, obligations and agreements under this Agreement that survive the Closing, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, and without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) 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 Sellers nor Purchaser would have entered into this Agreement. The remedies available to the parties hereto pursuant to this Section 12.11 will be in addition to any other remedy to which they were entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit any party from seeking to collect or collecting damages.
Section 12.12Non-Recourse. All Liabilities that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in connection with or as an inducement to this Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereby may be made only against (and are those solely of) the Persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement. No other Person, including any of their past, present or future Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, members, partners, managers, stockholders, agents, attorneys, or representatives of, or any financial advisors or lenders to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Non-Recourse Persons”) shall have any Liabilities for any Liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation, execution, performance, or breach. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, Sellers, Purchaser and their permitted assigns hereby waives and releases all such Liabilities against any such Non-Recourse Persons.
Section 12.13Action by Sellers. Each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Mondee Holdings, Inc. as such Seller’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent and authorizes it to act for such Seller and in such Seller’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing required, permitted, necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Seller might or could do in person, including to: (a) take any and all actions (including executing and delivering any documents, incurring any costs and expenses on behalf of Sellers) and make any and all determinations which may be required or permitted in connection with the post-Closing implementation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, (b) give and receive notices and communications under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (c) negotiate, defend, settle, compromise and otherwise handle and resolve any and all claims and disputes with Purchaser arising out of or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction
60

Document and (d) make any other decision or election or exercise such rights, power and authority as are incidental to the foregoing.
Section 12.14Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.
Section 12.15Fiduciary Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement, or any document related to the transactions contemplated hereby, will require any Seller or any of their respective managers, officers or members, in each case, in their capacity as such, to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, that the special committee of the board of directors (or other equivalent governing body) of such Seller has determined, in good faith after consultation with legal counsel and independent financial advisors, would be a violation of such Person’s fiduciary obligations or applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt Sellers retain the right to pursue any transaction or restructuring strategy that, in Sellers’ business judgment, will maximize the value of their estates.
