(ix)    any Liability for deferred compensation, accrued bonuses, transaction or other bonuses, or termination/severance obligations (including such obligations that may arise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including after Closing);

(e)    Required Consents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Purchased Asset or interest therein as to which: (i) an assignment or transfer thereof or an attempt to make such an assignment or transfer without a Consent (a “Required Consent”) would constitute a Breach of applicable Law, would be ineffective or would adversely affect the rights or obligations thereunder to be assigned or transferred to or for the account of Purchaser; and (ii) such Required Consent shall not have been obtained with respect to such Purchased Asset or interest therein prior to the Closing. Any transfer or assignment to Purchaser by any Seller of any such Purchased Asset or interest therein (a “Delayed Asset”), and any assumption by Purchaser of any corresponding Assumed Liability (a “Delayed Liability”), shall be subject to all such Required Consents in respect of such Delayed Asset being obtained. If there are any Delayed Assets, each Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Required Consents in respect thereof as promptly as practicable following the Closing, all without any cost or detriment to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with each Seller in connection therewith. Until all Required Consents with respect to each Delayed Asset have been obtained: (i) Sellers shall hold the Delayed Asset on behalf of Purchaser; (ii) each Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser for no additional consideration in any lawful arrangement (including subleasing or subcontracting, or performance thereunder by Sellers as Purchaser’s agent) requested by Purchaser to provide Purchaser with all of the benefits of or under any such Delayed Asset; (iii) each Seller shall otherwise enforce and perform for the account of Purchaser and as directed by Purchaser any other rights and obligations of any Seller arising from such Delayed Asset (and not waive, alter or amend any of same without the written consent of Purchaser); and (iv) Purchaser shall assume no Delayed Liability with respect to the Delayed Asset. Each Seller designates Purchaser as its irrevocable, true, and lawful attorney-in-fact and grants Purchaser an irrevocable power of attorney solely to take all actions reasonably determined by Purchaser to be in furtherance of the foregoing, such designation to be coupled with an interest. Each Seller shall maintain its corporate or limited liability company existence until all of its obligations pursuant to this Section 1.1(e) are performed in full, and all Delayed Assets are transferred and assigned hereunder. At such time and on each occasion after the Closing as all Required Consents with respect to a Delayed Asset have been obtained, such Delayed Asset shall automatically be transferred and assigned by the applicable Seller to Purchaser for no additional consideration without any further act on the part of any Party. No Delayed Liability shall be assumed by Purchaser until the corresponding Delayed Asset has been transferred or assigned to Purchaser, as applicable, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 1.1(e).

Section 1.2    Transaction Consideration.

(a)    Consideration. The aggregate consideration (collectively, the “Transaction Consideration”) for the Purchased Assets acquired by Purchaser hereunder, in addition to the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, shall consist of:

(i)    $30,000,000 in cash;

(ii)    minus the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Net Working Capital is less than the Target Net Working Capital;

(iii)    plus the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Target Net Working Capital;

(iv)    plus the Equity Interest.

(b)    Equity Interest. The “Equity Interest” shall mean the amount of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of RAC (the “Common Stock”) equal to $15,000,000; provided, that the Equity Interest shall not be less than 701,918 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock comprising the Equity Interest will only be deemed to be issued and outstanding at such time as the Common Stock is delivered to Sellers at the Closing or released from the Escrow Account, as the case may be, and Sellers shall have no rights afforded to a holder of Common Stock until such time as the Common Stock is delivered to Sellers. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to the contrary, Purchaser agrees that with respect to the Equity Interest held in the Escrow Account (as defined below), Purchaser will pay Sellers fifty percent (50%) of all declared dividends that would be payable on the Equity Interest held in the Escrow Account as if the shares of Common Stock comprising the Equity Interest were issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock at the time such dividends are declared and payable (the “Dividend Payment”). Purchaser shall distribute the Dividend Payment to Sellers on a pro rata basis as shares of Common Stock comprising the Equity Interest are released from the Escrow Account.

(c)    Payment of Transaction Consideration. The Closing Cash Consideration (as defined below) shall be used to discharge and pay in full: (i) all Indebtedness; (ii) the Seller Transaction Expenses; and (iii) the Change of Control Payments and related Transaction Payroll Taxes, in each case as provided in Section 1.4(b). In addition, thirty-seven and one-half percent (37.5%) of the aggregate Equity Interest (the “Escrow Amount”), calculated prior to any reduction in the Closing Equity Issuance as contemplated under Section 1.4(d), shall be deposited at Closing into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) under the terms of an escrow agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Escrow Agreement”) to be executed as of Closing Date by Purchaser, Representative and the Escrow Agent as security for the obligations of Sellers hereunder.

Section 1.3    Closing Date. The Closing shall take place at the offices of Winston & Strawn LLP, 2121 N. Pearl Street, Suite 900, Dallas, Texas 75201 on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2 of this Agreement (other than those conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing), or at such other time and place as the Parties shall mutually agree in writing, including remotely via the electronic transfer of executed documents. “Closing Date” shall mean the date the Closing occurs, effective as of 11:59 p.m., New York, New York time, on the day the Closing occurs.

Section 1.4    Closing Date Cash Payments and Issuances.

(a)    At least three (3) Business Days, but no more than seven (7) Business Days, prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), which shall be certified by duly authorized officers of each Seller as each Seller’s good faith estimation of the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing, which statement shall quantify in reasonable detail the estimates of each item included in such calculation, in each case calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Parties shall cooperate with one another in connection with the preparation and evaluation of such estimates. Sellers shall promptly provide Purchaser access to all personnel, relevant documents, and information reasonably

requested by Purchaser in connection with its review of the Estimated Net Working Capital (including all components thereof). Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Sellers of any objections that it has at such time to the Estimated Net Working Capital (including any component thereof).

(b)    On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall:

(i)    pay to Sellers an amount in cash, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified in writing by Sellers no later than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, which shall be equal to the following (collectively, the “Closing Cash Consideration”):

(ii)    pay the amount of all Indebtedness as provided in the Payoff Letters;

(iii)    pay the Seller Transaction Expenses, Change of Control Payments and Transaction Payroll Taxes pursuant to written instructions of Sellers, provided that any Change of Control Payments or other amounts that constitute “wages” payable by any Seller shall be remitted to the appropriate bank account of such Seller for distribution through the payroll of such Seller (net of any applicable withholdings for income and employment Taxes) and Purchaser shall have no further obligation with respect to such payments once Purchaser remits such funds to the appropriate bank account of a Seller;

(iv)    cause Common Stock in an amount equal to the Escrow Amount to be deposited with the Escrow Agent; and

(v)    cause up to sixty-two and one-half percent (62.5%) of the Equity Interest to be issued as reasonably directed by Representative (the “Closing Equity Issuance”).

(c)    Sellers shall ensure that the Minimum Cash Amount is transferred to Purchaser at the Closing. If the cash on hand of Sellers, in the aggregate, to be transferred to Purchaser at the Closing is less than the Minimum Cash Amount (the “Minimum Cash Shortfall Amount”), Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and at its option, elect to either (i) not consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents pursuant to Section 5.1(f) or (ii) waive the closing condition set forth in Section 5.1(f) and decrease the Closing Cash Consideration by an amount equal to the Minimum Cash Shortfall Amount, and the amount of the Minimum Cash Shortfall Amount shall be deemed an agreed-upon reduction to the Transaction Consideration.

(d)    If the sum of the Base Cash Consideration and Excess Cash is not sufficient to fully pay and satisfy all payments and deductions from the Base Cash Consideration required under Section 1.4(b) (the

“Required Closing Payments”), Purchaser may, in its sole discretion and at its option, elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) or (ii) increase the Base Cash Consideration by an amount necessary to satisfy the Required Closing Payments (the “Purchaser Shortfall Payment”). If Purchaser elects to make the Purchaser Shortfall Payment, Purchaser shall reduce the Closing Equity Issuance on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the Purchaser Shortfall Payment, and the amount of the Purchaser Shortfall Payment shall be deemed an agreed-upon reduction to the Transaction Consideration. No reduction in the Closing Equity Issuance as a result of the application of this Section 1.4(d) shall reduce the Escrow Amount.

Section 1.5    Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a)    Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) calculating the Net Working Capital as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Net Working Capital”) as well as the adjustments to Transaction Consideration which shall be made pursuant to this Section 1.5. Each Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its preparation of the Closing Statement.

(b)    If Representative disputes any amounts as shown on the Closing Statement, Representative shall deliver to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement a notice (the “Dispute Notice”) setting forth Representative’s calculation of Closing Net Working Capital and describing in reasonable detail the basis (including for each component, the difference and the amount thereof and reasons therefor) for the determination of such different amount. If Representative does not deliver a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) prepared and delivered by Purchaser shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and the Final Closing Net Working Capital. Any such disputes shall be limited to assertions that the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) was not calculated in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.5. Any component not disputed in the Dispute Notice shall be treated as final and binding. Purchaser and Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such differences within a period of thirty (30) days after Representative has given the Dispute Notice. If Purchaser and Representative resolve such differences, the Closing Statement and Closing Net Working Capital agreed to in writing by Purchaser and Representative shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and Final Closing Net Working Capital. If Purchaser and Representative do not reach a final resolution on the Closing Statement and Closing Net Working Capital within thirty (30) days after Representative has delivered the Dispute Notice, unless Purchaser and Representative mutually agree in writing to continue their efforts to resolve such differences, the Neutral Accountant shall resolve such differences with respect to the adjustment under this Section 1.5 pursuant to an engagement agreement among Purchaser, Representative, and the Neutral Accountant (which Purchaser and Representative agree to execute promptly), in the manner provided below. Each Party shall be deemed to have executed such engagement agreement and to have engaged the Neutral Accountant if it fails to do so within twenty (20) days of receiving a draft thereof. The Neutral Accountant shall have full authority to arbitrate all of the issues or matters relating to the adjustments under this Section 1.5, but shall only decide the specific components under dispute in the Dispute Notice (the “Disputed Items”), strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Purchaser and Representative shall each be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Accountant at which the other shall be entitled to be present and participate, pursuant to procedures to be agreed to among Purchaser, Representative, and the Neutral Accountant (or, if they cannot agree on such procedures, pursuant to procedures determined by the Neutral Accountant), regarding such Party’s determination of the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein); and Purchaser and Representative shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Accountant to resolve the differences between them and determine the amounts to be set forth on the Closing Statement (and the determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) within twenty (20) days after the engagement of the Neutral Accountant. Each of Purchaser and Representative, as a condition precedent to making

a presentation to the Neutral Accountant and having the Neutral Accountant review its calculations, shall provide reasonable advance access to the other Party with respect to such materials and reasonably cooperate with the other Party in its review and analysis thereof. The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be based solely on such presentations of Purchaser and Representative (i.e., not on independent review) and on the definitions and other terms included in this Agreement. The Closing Statement (and determination of Closing Net Working Capital therein) determined by the Neutral Accountant shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Statement and Final Closing Net Working Capital. Such determination by the Neutral Accountant shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent fraud or manifest error, and shall be an arbitral award that is non-appealable. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be paid equally, one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Sellers. Nothing in this Section 1.5(b) shall be construed to authorize or permit the Neutral Accountant to: (i) determine any questions or matters whatsoever under or in connection with this Agreement, except for the resolution of differences between Purchaser and Representative regarding the determination of the Final Closing Statement (and Final Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein); or (ii) resolve any such differences by making an adjustment to any component of the Closing Statement and (Closing Net Working Capital calculation therein) that is outside of the range defined by amounts as finally proposed by Purchaser and Representative.

(c)    Promptly, but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the final determination thereof, if the Final Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Final Closing Statement: (i) exceeds the Target Net Working Capital (taking into consideration any adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration by reason of the Estimated Net Working Capital calculation as set forth in Section 1.4(b)), Purchaser shall pay such excess amount to Sellers; or (ii) is less than the Target Net Working Capital (taking into consideration any adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration by reason of the Estimated Net Working Capital calculation as set forth in Section 1.4(b)), Sellers shall pay such shortfall amount to Purchaser. To the extent the amount paid by Sellers is less than such shortfall, Purchaser may, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, collect such amount from the Escrow Account by Purchaser providing unilateral instructions to the Escrow Agent regarding same (and the number of shares of Common Stock to be released from the Escrow Account shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.6(a)). Any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Transaction Consideration by the Parties. The Parties acknowledge that the limitations on indemnification set forth in Article VI are not applicable to the adjustments to be made under this Section 1.5.

Section 1.6    Allocation of Transaction Consideration. Within sixty (60) days following the final determination of the Final Closing Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall provide to Sellers a schedule allocating the Transaction Consideration (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the value of the Equity Interest) plus Assumed Liabilities that are liabilities for Tax purposes among the Purchased Assets (the “Allocation Statement”). The Allocation Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Code and the methodologies set forth in Exhibit D. Sellers shall have twenty (20) days to provide comments in writing to Purchaser, which Purchaser shall consider in good faith. Purchaser and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to finalize the Allocation Statement (unless Sellers do not provide any comments within such twenty (20)-day period, in which case Purchaser’s determination of the Allocation Statement shall be deemed final). If, within twenty (20) days of Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ comments to the Allocation Statement, the Parties are unable to agree, the Parties shall retain the Neutral Accountant to resolve their dispute, provided that the Neutral Accountant shall utilize the methodologies as set forth in Exhibit D. The determination of the Neutral Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant shall be paid equally, one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Sellers. The Parties shall make appropriate adjustments to the Allocation Statement to reflect changes in the purchase price. The Parties agree for all Tax reporting purposes to report the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the Allocation Statement, as adjusted pursuant to the preceding sentence, and to not take any position during the course of any audit or other proceeding inconsistent with such schedule unless required by a determination of the applicable Governmental Body that is final.

Section 1.7    Withholding. Purchaser (or any Affiliate thereof) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (in the form of cash or a portion of the Equity Interest if such withholding obligation arises after the Closing) from any amounts payable under this Agreement amounts that Purchaser (or any Affiliate thereof) is required to deduct and withhold under any provision of any applicable Law. All amounts withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Body shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as being timely paid. Purchaser shall promptly notify Representative in writing if Purchaser determines that any withholding or deduction is required under any provision of Tax law with respect to any portion of such payment (and such notice shall describe the basis for such deduction or withholding) and provide Representative with a reasonable opportunity to provide such forms, certificates or other evidence, and cooperate with Representative to, eliminate or reduce any such required deduction or withholding.

Each Seller, jointly and severally, represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

Section 2.1    Formation and Related Matters. Each of C/C and LPS is a corporation, duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite entity power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business. Each of Holdings and MPLPS is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite entity power and authority to own, lease, and operate its properties and to carry on its business. Each Seller is duly qualified or authorized to do business as a foreign corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, and is in good standing under the Laws of each jurisdiction in which it leases real property and each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or the ownership of its properties requires such qualification or authorization, each of which is set forth in Section 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule, except to the extent failure to so qualify or be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect. Other than as set forth in Section 2.1 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Seller owns or holds, nor has any Seller ever owned or held, any equity securities or interests in any other entity.

(b)    From and after the date of this Agreement, each Seller shall, and shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents and representatives to, cooperate with Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective agents and representatives in connection with compliance with Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ Tax, financial, or other reporting requirements and audits, including (i) any filings with any Governmental Body, (ii) any filings that may be required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”), under securities Laws applicable to RAC, Purchaser and their Affiliates, including any report required to be filed by RAC or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated under such acts, the “Securities Laws”) (any such filings described in clause (ii), the “Filings”), (iii) executing and delivering or causing to be executed and delivered any reasonable and customary external audit firm representation letters as may be reasonably requested by Purchaser or its Affiliates or their respective agents and representatives, (iv) obtaining the consent of the independent auditor(s) that conducted any audit of the Financial Statements to be named as an expert in any Filing or offering memorandum for any equity or debt financing of RAC or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates and (v) using reasonable efforts to cause the independent auditor(s) that conducted any audit of the Financial Statements to provide customary “comfort letters” to any underwriter or purchaser in connection with any equity or debt financing of RAC, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates. Further, from and after the date of this Agreement, Sellers shall, and shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their Affiliates to, make available to Purchaser and its Affiliates and their agents and representatives any and all books, records, information and documents that are attributable to Sellers or the Purchased Assets in Sellers or their Affiliates’ possession or control reasonably required by Purchaser, its Affiliates and their agents and representatives, in order for Purchaser or its Affiliates to prepare, if required to comply with the requirements of the Securities Laws in connection with such Filings, any financial statements relating to Sellers or the Purchased Assets meeting the requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

(c)    Without limiting the generality of Section 4.2(b), from and after the date of this Agreement, Sellers shall, and shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their Affiliates to, cooperate with the independent auditors chosen by Purchaser (“Purchaser’s Auditor”) in connection with any audit or review by Purchaser’s Auditor of any financial statements of Sellers or related to the Purchased Assets that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates require to comply with the requirements of the Securities Laws. Such cooperation will include (i)  access to Sellers and Sellers’ officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives who were responsible for preparing or maintaining the financial records and work papers and other supporting documents used in the preparation of such financial statements as may be required by Purchaser’s Auditor to perform an audit or conduct a review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or to otherwise verify such financial statements and (ii) delivery of one or more customary representation letters from Sellers that are reasonably requested by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Auditor to allow such auditors to complete an audit (or review of any financial statements) and to issue an opinion with respect to an audit of those financial statements required pursuant to this Section 4.2(c).  Purchaser will reimburse Sellers, within ten (10) Business Days after demand in writing therefor, for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Sellers or their Affiliates in complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2(c).

intact its current business organization, keep available the services of its current officers and employees and preserve its relationships with Governmental Bodies, customers, suppliers, and others having business dealings with it to the end that its goodwill and ongoing business shall not be impaired. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, no Seller shall, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed), take any action that, had it been taken between the Balance Sheet Date and the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be included in Section 2.7, Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, or any action that could reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article V not being satisfied.

(c)    From and after the Closing, in the event and for so long as Purchaser actively is involved in, contesting, or defending against any third party Legal Proceeding in connection with any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, Tax matter, failure to act, or transaction involving any Seller or the Business relating to events or occurrences prior to or at Closing or relating to a Breach by any Seller of any provision of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, each Seller shall, and shall cause Sellers to, cooperate reasonably with Purchaser and Purchaser’s counsel in such involvement, contest, or defense, and provide such testimony and access to their Books and Records as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with such contest or defense.

(d)    Each Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser at Closing all properties, Books and Records, Contracts, information and documents in its or its Affiliates’ possession that are part of the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities.

As soon as practicable, but in any event within seven (7) days after Closing, each applicable Seller shall submit applicable documentation to change its trade name to a name not including the phrase “Merchants Preferred”, “Merchants Preferred Lease-Purchase Services” and “C/C Financial” or which is otherwise similar to its current trade name, and must submit applicable documentation to withdraw or change its trade name in all jurisdictions in which it is qualified to do business as a foreign entity.

Section 4.6    Mail; Payments; Receivables. From and after the Closing, each Seller shall promptly (but in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such inquiry or correspondence) refer to Purchaser all customer, Retail Partner, supplier, employee, or other inquiries or correspondence relating to the Purchased Assets and the conduct of the Business after the Closing.

Effective upon the Closing, each Seller hereby appoints Purchaser as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to: (i) receive and open all mail, packages, and other communications addressed to any Seller related to the Business; and (ii) demand and receive all accounts receivable and endorse without recourse the name of any Seller on any check or any other evidences of indebtedness received by Purchaser on account of the Business and the Purchased Assets transferred to Purchaser hereunder. Each Seller agrees that the foregoing appointment shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.

Section 4.7    Public Announcements; Confidentiality.

(a)    Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall consult with RAC before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement regarding the terms of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such statement without the prior approval of RAC, except as may be required by applicable Law, in which case Sellers and its respective Affiliates shall consult with RAC about, and allow RAC reasonable time to comment on, such press release or announcement in advance of such disclosure, and Sellers and their respective Affiliates will consider such comments in good faith.

(b)    From and after the Closing, each Seller shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, and professionals to, hold in confidence (and not disclose or provide access to any other Person) and not use, any and all confidential or proprietary information, whether written or oral, concerning the Business, except to the extent that Representative can show that such information: (i) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives; or (ii) was lawfully acquired by such Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives from and after the Closing from sources unrelated to Purchaser or any Seller which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If any Seller or any of its respective Affiliates or representatives is compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which such Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that such Seller (or Representative on its behalf) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and immediately notify Purchaser in writing so that Purchaser shall be able to seek to obtain, an

appropriate protective Order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 4.8    Tax Covenants.

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any and all transfer, sales, use, purchase, value added, bulk sales, excise, real property, personal property, intangible stamp, documentary, registration, business, occupation or similar Taxes imposed on, or resulting from, the transfer of any Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement and all related penalties and interests (collectively “Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by Sellers; provided, however, that Purchaser’s liability for Transfer Taxes in accordance with this Section 4.8(a) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $50,000. For the avoidance of doubt, Sellers shall bear one hundred percent (100%) of any Transfer Taxes in excess of $100,000. Each of Purchaser on the one hand and Sellers on the other hand shall promptly reimburse the other for such Transfer Taxes that are its responsibility except to the extent taken into account in the Final Closing Statement. Each Party, at its own cost and expense, shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes required to be filed by it, and, if required by applicable Law, the other Party will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. Purchaser shall execute such certificates requested by Sellers to legally reduce or eliminate any Transfer Taxes (including, without limitation, Georgia Department of Revenue Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption). Notwithstanding the foregoing Purchaser obligations, Sellers shall file a final return and pay any outstanding sales taxes to the Georgia Department of Revenue within fifteen (15) days after Closing.

(b)    Sellers shall notify each relevant taxing authority in each jurisdiction that imposes Taxes on any Seller or where any Seller has a duty to file Tax Returns regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents in the form and manner required by such taxing authority if the failure to make such notification or receive any available tax clearance certificate from such taxing authority would under applicable statutory or regulatory authority subject Purchaser to any Taxes otherwise attributable to Sellers or the Business prior to the Closing or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (such notices and tax clearance certificates collectively, the “Tax Clearance Certificates”), all as set forth on Schedule 2. Sellers shall make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Tax Clearance Certificates prior to the Closing. If any taxing authority asserts that any such Tax is due, Sellers shall promptly pay any and all such amounts and shall provide evidence to Purchaser that such Liabilities have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied.

(c)    Sellers, at their sole cost and expense, shall timely file all Tax Returns due prior to the Closing with respect to the Purchased Assets, Business, or Transferred Employees, and timely pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. To the extent any such Tax Return would be reasonably expected to affect the Taxes of Purchaser or RAC, such Tax Return shall be prepared consistently with the practices and procedures of the applicable Seller before the date hereof.

(d)    Annual personal property Taxes, real property Taxes, and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Purchased Assets and the Business (the “Property Taxes”), shall be pro-rated as of the Closing Date, with Sellers liable to the extent such items relate to any time period (or portion thereof) prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Charges”) and Purchaser is liable to the extent such items relate to periods (or any portion thereof) on and after the Closing Date. To the extent Property Taxes are assessed with respect to a period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, the Pre-Closing Charges shall be calculated by multiplying the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the period from the first day of the period through and including the day prior to the Closing

Date, and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period. Sellers shall furnish Purchaser with such documents and other records as Purchaser reasonably requests to confirm such proration calculations. At the Closing, the aggregate amount of all unpaid Pre-Closing Charges shall be netted against the Base Cash Consideration, except to the extent such Pre-Closing Charges are taken into account in the calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital. (For the avoidance of doubt, if the aggregate amount of Property Taxes paid by Sellers exceeds the amount of Pre-Closing Charges, such excess shall be treated as a credit for purposes of clause (ii) of the following sentence except to the extent such excess is taken into account in the calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital.) If the amount of any Property Taxes is not fixed and determined as of the Closing, then the foregoing Closing adjustment shall be based on the amount thereof as reasonably estimated by Sellers at the Closing based on the most recently available information, and the Parties shall re-determine the amount of any Pre-Closing Charges within thirty (30) days following receipt of the actual final Property Tax bill. If following the Closing either Sellers or Purchaser receives (i) any assessment of any Property Taxes that are in whole or in part the responsibility of the other pursuant to this Section 4.8(d), Purchaser shall pay the same to the appropriate Governmental Body and Sellers will remit prior to the due date of assessment to Purchaser the amount of the Pre-Closing Charge with respect thereto except to the extent reflected as a debit to Sellers on the Final Closing Statement, or (ii) any refund or credit of any Property Taxes that are in whole or in part the responsibility of the other pursuant to this Section 4.8(d), such party shall promptly remit to the other such amount except to the extent reflected as a credit to Sellers on the Final Closing Statement.

(e)    Purchaser, each Seller, and Representative agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities (including access to Books and Records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any Action relating to any Tax. Any expenses incurred in furnishing such information or assistance shall be borne by the Party requesting it.

Section 4.9    Exclusive Dealing. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, each Seller shall not, and shall cause its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, consultants, representatives, advisors, and Affiliates to not, directly or indirectly:

(a)    initiate, solicit, facilitate or encourage any inquiry, proposal, or offer from any Person (other than Purchaser or its Affiliates) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction;

(b)    participate in any discussions, communications (except for unconditional rejection), conversations, or negotiations or enter into any agreement with (whether of a binding or nonbinding nature), or provide any information to, any Person (other than Purchaser or its Affiliates) relating to or in connection with a possible Acquisition Transaction; or

(c)    respond to or entertain any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Purchaser or its Affiliates) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction.

Each Seller further agrees that it shall, prior to the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt thereof) notify Purchaser orally and in writing of any inquiry, proposal, or offer relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction, including the identity of the Person making or submitting such inquiry, proposal, or offer, and the terms thereof (including a copy of any written inquiry, proposal or offer) received by any Seller or any representative thereof from the date of this Agreement through the Closing.

Section 4.10    Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction (collectively, “Bulk Sales Laws”) that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser, it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of any Seller or Purchaser to comply with the requirements and provisions of any Bulk Sales Laws of any jurisdiction shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities. To the extent any Taxes arising out of the application of any Bulk Sales Law are imposed on, or incurred by, Purchaser, Sellers shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for such Taxes (or Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, collect such amount from the Escrow Account by Purchaser providing unilateral instructions to the Escrow Agent regarding same and the number of shares of Common Stock to be released from the Escrow Account shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.6(a)).

Section 4.11    Employees and Employee Benefits.

(a)    On the Closing Date, Sellers shall terminate and shall cause any PEO to terminate all Business Employees, and Purchaser shall offer employment to all Business Employees that do not fail any pre-condition to being employed by Purchaser (including any drug or alcohol screening or other reasonable testing or screening) (such employees accepting such offer, the “Transferred Employees”). Each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser’s efforts to cause all terminated Business Employees that Purchaser desires to hire to accept such employment. Sellers shall bear any and all obligations of and Liabilities under WARN or applicable state or local law resulting from employment losses relating to such terminations.

(b)    Sellers shall be solely responsible, and Purchaser shall have no obligations whatsoever for, any compensation or other amounts payable to any current or former employee, officer, director, independent contractor, or consultant of the Business, including hourly pay, commission due, bonus, salary, accrued vacation, sick time, or other paid time off, fringe, pension or profit sharing benefits, or severance pay for any period relating to the service with any Seller at any time on or prior to the Closing, and Sellers shall pay all such amounts to all entitled persons on or prior to the Closing, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or the terms of a Contract.

(c)    Sellers shall remain solely responsible for the satisfaction of all claims for medical, dental, life insurance, health accident, or disability benefits or any Employee Benefit Plan brought by or in respect of current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, or consultants of the Business or the spouses, dependents, or beneficiaries thereof, which claims relate to events occurring on or prior to the Closing. Sellers also shall remain solely responsible for all worker’s compensation claims of any current or former employees, officers, directors, independent contractors, or consultants of the Business which relate to events occurring on or prior to the Closing. Sellers shall pay, or cause to be paid, all such amounts to the appropriate persons as and when due. Purchaser shall not assume any Liability under any of the Employee Benefit Plans (including any post-Closing COBRA obligations) or with respect to any agreements or employee benefit plans sponsored by a PEO.

Section 6.3    Indemnification Procedures.

(a)    Third Party Claims.

(i)    In the case of any claim asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) against a Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”), notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought. If the Indemnifying Party provides a written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days after its receipt of notice of such claim that it will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from all Losses related to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or any Legal Proceeding with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that: (i) the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense (such expense to be borne by the Indemnified Party only at such times during which the Indemnifying Party has properly assumed and maintained such defense); (iii) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the failure by any Indemnified Party to give notice of a Third Party Claim to the Indemnifying Party as provided in this Agreement shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement (or affect such indemnification obligations), except and only to the extent that, as a result of such failure to give notice, the defense against such claim is materially impaired; and (iv) the fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the assumption of a Third Party Claim hereunder by the Indemnifying Party shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.

(ii)    Except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party shall consent or agree to any settlement or entry of any judgment or Order. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, if an Indemnifying Party consents or agrees to any

settlement or entry of any judgment or Order in contravention of this Agreement, no amounts paid in connection therewith shall be included with respect to the Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any Third Party Claim, shall consent or agree to any settlement or entry of any judgment or Order or enter into any settlement that: (i) includes a finding or admission of any Breach of Law or the rights of any Person; (ii) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party and its Affiliates of a general release (without payment by, or cost or expense to, or adverse impact upon, the Indemnified Party) from any and all liability directly or indirectly relating to such Third Party Claim; or (iii) that does not provide for the Indemnifying Party to fully pay and discharge all Liabilities directly or indirectly relating to the applicable Third Party Claims.

(iii)    The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense against a Third Party Claim if: (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or quasi criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation, or investigation; (ii) the claim seeks an injunction, specific performance, or any other equitable or non-monetary relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or that there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party which differ; (iv) Liability for claims under Section 6.1 that are reasonably likely to be for amounts in the aggregate in excess of the Cap; (v) the party bringing the claim is a customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party or the claims relate to environmental or regulatory matters; (vi) the Indemnifying Party fails to reasonably prosecute or defend such claim; or (vii) the Indemnifying Party has not acknowledged in writing its unconditional obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for all Liabilities and Losses relating to such Third Party Claim.

(iv)    If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of a Third Party Claim within ten (10) days after receipt of the written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party described above (or if the Indemnifying Party or claim fails to at all times meet all of the requirements set forth above), the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or demand. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may pay, compromise, and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from, or relating to such Third Party Claim. In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to accept any settlement offer made by the opposing party or its counsel with respect to any Third Party Claim, any such amounts ultimately payable with respect thereto in excess of such settlement offer (including settlement and defense costs and judgments) shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party without regard to any limitations and such amounts shall not be considered with respect to the Cap. The parties shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to applicable confidentiality provisions in this Agreement) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim. Legal fees and costs of any Legal Proceeding relating to Third Party Claims shall not be counted with respect to the Cap

(b)    Non-Third Party Claims. With respect to any claim for indemnification hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such claim. The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and agree by notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy such claim within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall dispute such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute to the Indemnified Party within such ten (10) day period. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party within ten (10) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim or disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have acknowledged and agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute such claim, and shall promptly pay such claim in full. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any failure by an Indemnified Party to give notice as required pursuant to this Section 6.3(b) shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, except and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have actually been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.

Section 6.4    Expiration of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date; provided, however, that: (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.8, Section 2.13 and Section 2.17 shall survive the Closing for the period ending on the date that is sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations period; and (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.1, Section 2.2, Section 2.10(c), Section 2.11, Section 2.27, Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3, and Section 3.5 shall survive indefinitely (each of the sections referred to in (a) and (b), a “Transactional Rep”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be indemnified pursuant to Section 6.1(a) with respect to any Loss if the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnitees have received indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1(a) has exceeded thirty-five percent (35%) of the Transaction Consideration (the “Non-Transactional Cap”).

(b)    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 6.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification exceeds the Basket, in which event Purchaser shall be required to pay or be liable for Losses only to the extent (and solely with respect to the amount that) such aggregate Losses exceed the Basket; provided that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in respect of any Losses relating to a Breach of any Transactional Reps.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the limitations set forth in Section 6.5(a) and Section 6.5(b) shall not limit the Liability of any Indemnifying Party for (i) intentional Breach of any covenant set forth herein or any of the other Transaction Documents or fraud or (ii) indemnification with respect to the items set forth in Section 6.1(b) through Section 6.1(j).

Section 6.6    Indemnification Payments by Sellers; Right of Set-Off.

(a)    Any indemnification payable by any Seller under this Article VI as a consequence of any Losses shall first be made as a payment from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and, to the extent that the aggregate amount of such payments exceeds the Escrow Amount, Sellers, on a joint and several basis, shall pay within fifteen (15) Business Days such difference to the Purchaser Indemnitees in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account to be designated by Purchaser. For purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock to be released from the Escrow Account at any time in connection with the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article VI, each share of Common Stock shall be valued at an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the market value of the Common Stock at the closing of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the Closing Date, and (y) the market value of the Common Stock at the closing of trading on the trading day immediately prior to the event giving rise to the Losses. On the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Sellers and Purchaser agree to jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release thirty-three percent (33%) of the Escrow Amount (other than any amount necessary to satisfy a pending indemnification claim by Purchaser hereunder) to Sellers, and on the date that is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, Sellers and Purchaser agree to jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to release the balance of the Escrow Amount (other than any amount necessary to satisfy a pending indemnification claim by Purchaser hereunder). However, Purchaser shall be under no obligation to instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute the balance of the Escrow Amount to Sellers until the close of the applicable statute of limitations if one or more Tax Clearance Certificates have not been provided to Purchaser, and the remaining Escrow Amount will be held by the Escrow Agent until the earlier of such time as the appropriate Tax Clearance Certificates are provided by Sellers to Purchaser or the statute of limitations with respect to the Tax or Taxes to which such Tax Clearance Certificates relate has closed.

(b)    In the event that any Purchaser Indemnitee seeks to recover against any Seller for any Loss pursuant to this Article VI or otherwise in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, Purchaser or such Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to recover such amount by (i) set-off or cancellation against any amount payable by Purchaser to such Seller (which such amounts shall be deemed as paid to such Seller for Tax purposes) and/or (ii) set-off or cancellation against any distributions payable by RAC to any Seller (or their respective Affiliates) relative to the Equity Interest (which such distributions shall be deemed to be paid to such Seller for Tax purposes).

No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents, the terms hereof shall control.

Section 8.10    Sellers’ Representative.

(a)    By execution of this Agreement, each of Sellers, without any further action on the part of any such Seller, shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to the appointment of Synterra Capital Management LLC as Representative of each such Seller and as the attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each such Seller, to serve as the sole and exclusive representative of such Seller, with respect to all matters set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, such service to be without compensation except for the reimbursement by Sellers of out-of-pocket expenses and indemnification specifically provided in this Agreement. Representative has accepted such designation as of the date of this Agreement. Representative is unconditionally and irrevocably authorized, directed, and empowered by each Seller to take any action Representative deems advisable and in furtherance of the foregoing, and each Seller agrees to take all actions requested by Representative that Representative deems to be in furtherance of the foregoing, and not to take any action Representative deems not to be in furtherance of the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Representative shall have no duties or responsibilities solely in his capacity as Representative except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities on behalf of any Seller shall otherwise exist against Representative.

(b)    Representative as the exclusive agent, proxy, and attorney-in-fact for each of Sellers, for all purposes specified in this Agreement, shall be entitled to take all actions on behalf of each such Seller in connection with this Agreement, including full power and authority on such Seller’s behalf to: (i) agree to execute any amendments to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents; (ii) take all actions which Representative considers necessary or desirable in connection with the defense, pursuit or settlement of any determinations

relating to any claims for indemnification hereunder or thereunder, including (A) determinations to sue, defend, negotiate, settle, and compromise any such claims for indemnification made by or against, and other disputes with, Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and (B) determinations to authorize delivery to Purchaser of the proceeds in the Escrow Account or any portion thereof, in satisfaction of any claims; (iii) accept and receive notices to such Seller pursuant to this Agreement; (iv) settle any disputes regarding the Net Working Capital adjustment and Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section 1.5; (v) engage and employ agents and representatives and to incur such other expenses as Representative shall deem necessary or prudent in connection with the administration of the foregoing; and (vi) take all other actions and exercise all other rights which Representative considers necessary or appropriate in connection with this Agreement. All decisions and acts by Representative shall be binding upon all of Sellers and no Seller shall have the right to object, dissent, protest, or otherwise contest the same.

(c)    EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT IS ITS EXPRESS INTENTION TO HEREBY GRANT A DURABLE POWER OF ATTORNEY (WHICH POWER OF ATTORNEY IS COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST) UNTO REPRESENTATIVE WITH RESPECT TO ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO.

(d)    Representative is authorized to act on behalf of Sellers (and bind them) notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement between any Seller and any other Seller, and Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by Representative without any Liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Seller. Purchaser is expressly authorized to rely on the genuineness of the signature of Representative and, upon receipt of any writing which reasonably appears to have been signed by Representative, Purchaser may act in good faith upon the same without any further duty of inquiry as to the genuineness of the writing.

(e)    Representative shall promptly deliver to the applicable Seller any notice received by Representative on behalf of such Seller.

(f)    Neither Representative nor any agent employed by Representative shall be liable to any Seller relating solely to the performance of Representative’s duties under this Agreement in its capacity as Representative for any errors in judgment, negligence, oversight, Breach of duty, or otherwise except to the extent it is finally determined in a court of competent jurisdiction that the actions taken or omitted by Representative in such capacity constituted fraud or were taken or not taken in bad faith. Representative shall be indemnified and held harmless by Sellers, jointly and severally, against all Losses paid or incurred in connection with any action to which Representative is made a party solely by reason of the fact that Representative was acting as Representative pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Representative shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent it is finally determined in a court of competent jurisdiction that the actions taken or not taken by Representative constituted fraud or were taken or not taken in bad faith. Representative shall be protected against Sellers in acting upon any notice, statement, or certificate believed by Representative to be genuine and to have been furnished by the appropriate Person and in acting or refusing to act in good faith on any matter.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.10, Representative’s protection and limitation of Liability under this Section 8.10 apply only to Representative in its capacity as such and not in its capacity as a Seller or otherwise. Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall limit Representative’s obligations to Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnitee hereunder or under any document, agreement, or other instrument executed or delivered in connection herewith.

Section 8.11    Obligations of RAC. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that RAC is a party to this Agreement solely in connection with its obligations to issue the Equity Interest pursuant to Section 1.4(b)(iv-v) and that RAC shall have no other obligations and is not a guarantor of Purchaser’s obligations or performance hereunder.

Section 8.12    Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no remedy in this Agreement conferred upon a Party hereto is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy. No single or partial exercise by a Party hereto of any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof. Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s election, set-off against any amounts due to any Seller or any of its Affiliates under this Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or otherwise, any Losses or other amounts for which such Seller (or any Affiliate thereof) may be responsible to pay to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

Section 8.13    Exhibits and Schedules. The exhibits and schedules referred to in this Agreement are attached hereto and incorporated in this Agreement by this reference. The disclosure schedule delivered in connection with the execution of this Agreement (the “Disclosure Schedule”) shall be arranged to correspond to the specific sections and subsections of this Agreement. The disclosures in each section of the Disclosure Schedule relate only to the representations and warranties in the corresponding section of this Agreement and not to any other representation or warranty in this Agreement unless and to the extent that such disclosure identifies an exception to another section of this Agreement with reasonable particularity so that such exception to such other representation or warranty is readily apparent on its face. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule will be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement, unless the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with particularity and describes the relevant facts in detail. The mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item in the Disclosure Schedule will not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained in this Agreement will have independent significance. If any Party has Breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not Breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in Breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

Section 8.14    Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an article, section, paragraph, clause, schedule, or exhibit, such reference shall be deemed to be to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes,” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” As used in this Agreement, words in the singular will be held to include the plural and vice versa (unless the context otherwise requires), words of one gender shall be held to include the other gender (or the neuter) as the context requires, and the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “herewith” and words of similar import will, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to any agreement, instrument, or document shall mean such agreement, document or instrument as amended, modified, or supplemented as permitted thereunder from time to time. A reference to a party shall include its predecessors, successors, and permitted assigns. The phrases “delivered” or “made available” shall mean that the information referred to has been physically or electronically delivered to the relevant parties, including information posted to the electronic data site hosted by Box.com and established by Sellers for the purpose of providing due diligence materials and information to Purchaser and its agents, employees, and advisors; provided all of such electronically delivered information shall not be deemed to be “made available” or “delivered” unless such information is also included on the DVD or other portable storage device delivered at Closing pursuant to Section 5.1(g)(xviii).

Section 8.15    Construction. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they have jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event of an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise, all as amended or agreed from time to time.

Section 8.16    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed by any of the Parties in accordance with the specific terms hereof or were otherwise Breached by any Seller. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled, without posting a bond or similar indemnity, to an injunction or other equitable relief to prevent Breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance, and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on any basis, including that another Party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 8.17    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 8.18    Time of Essence. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
