Termination Settlement Upon the occurrence of any Acceleration Event, Dealer shall have the right to designate, upon at least one Scheduled Trading Day’s notice, any Scheduled Trading Day following such occurrence to be a Settlement Date hereunder (a “Termination Settlement Date”) to which Physical Settlement shall apply, and to select the number of Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date; provided that (i) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of an Ownership Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares necessary to reduce the Share Amount to reasonably below the Post-Effective Limit and (ii) in the case of an Acceleration Event arising out of a Stock Borrow Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Dealer shall not exceed the number of Shares as to which such Stock Borrow Event exists. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Dealer pursuant to the preceding sentence, Counterparty fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within its control in respect of the Transaction, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty and Section 6 of the Agreement shall apply. If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election to the contrary by Counterparty, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such Unwind Period as to which Dealer has unwound its hedge (assuming that Dealer has a commercially reasonable hedge and unwinds its hedge in a commercially reasonable manner) and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any) of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Dealer in respect of such Termination Settlement Date. If an Acceleration Event occurs after Counterparty has designated a Settlement Date to which Physical Settlement applies but before the relevant Settlement Shares have been delivered to Dealer, then Dealer shall have the right to cancel such Settlement Date and designate a Termination Settlement Date in respect of such Shares pursuant to the first sentence hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of a Nationalization or Merger Event, if at the time of the related Relevant Settlement Date the Shares have changed into cash or any other property or the right to receive cash or any other property, the Calculation Agent shall adjust the nature of the Shares as it determines appropriate to account for such change such that the nature of the Shares is consistent with what shareholders receive in such event. If Dealer designates a Termination Settlement Date as a result of an Acceleration Event caused by an excess dividend of the type described in Paragraph 7(f)(ii), no adjustments(s) shall be made to the terms of this contract to account for the amount of such excess dividend.
Final Settlement Statement (a) As soon as practical and, in any event, no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Final Settlement Statement”) setting forth Sellers’ calculation of the adjustments to the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.04. The Final Settlement Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and on a basis consistent with the preparation of the Closing Statement as described in Section 2.04(d), and shall set forth Sellers’ calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price.
(b) Following the delivery of the Final Settlement Statement, Sellers shall afford Buyer the opportunity to examine the Final Settlement Statement and Sellers’ calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price, and such supporting schedules and analyses as are reasonably necessary and appropriate in connection with such review. Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer in such examination, including responding to questions asked by Buyer, and Sellers shall make available to Buyer any records under Sellers’ control that are requested by Buyer in connection with such review.
(c) If, within thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of the Final Settlement Statement to Buyer, Buyer has not delivered to Sellers written notice (the “Objection Notice”) of Buyer’s objections to the Final Settlement Statement or Sellers’ calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price (which Objection Notice in order to be valid must contain a statement describing in reasonable detail the items objected to, the basis of such objections and Buyer’s calculation of the amount(s) for the items objected to that Buyer asserts should be used for purposes of the Final Settlement Statement), then the Adjusted Purchase Price as set forth in such Final Settlement Statement shall be deemed final and conclusive. In addition, any of Sellers’ calculations of the Adjusted Purchase Price as set forth in the Final Settlement Statement which are not objected to in the Objection Notice shall be deemed final and conclusive.
(d) If Buyer delivers the Objection Notice satisfying Section 2.06(c) above, within such thirty (30)-day period, then Sellers and Buyer shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections of Buyer set forth in the Objection Notice for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of delivery of the Objection Notice. If at the end of such fifteen (15)-day period there are any objections that remain in dispute, then either Buyer or Sellers may require by written notice to the other that the remaining objections in dispute be submitted for resolution to the Dallas, Texas office of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or to such other independent accounting firm as may be selected jointly by Buyer and Sellers within the ten (10) calendar days following a written request by Buyer or Sellers (▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or such jointly selected accounting firm, the “Referee”). The Referee’s engagement shall be limited to the resolution of disputed amounts set forth in the Final Settlement Statement that have been identified by Buyer in the Objection Notice, which resolution shall be in accordance with this Agreement and no other matter relating to the Final Settlement Statement shall be subject to determination by the Referee except to the extent affected by resolution of the disputed amounts. In connection with the engagement of the Referee, each of Buyer and Sellers shall execute any engagement, indemnity and other agreement as the Referee shall require as a condition to such engagement. If ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP is unable or unwilling to serve as the Referee and Buyer and Sellers are unable to agree upon the designation of a Person as substitute arbitrator, then Buyer or Sellers, or either of them, may in writing request the Bankruptcy Court to appoint the substitute referee; provided that such Person so appointed shall be a national or regional accounting firm with no prior material relationships with Buyer or Sellers or their respective Affiliates and shall have experience in auditing companies engaged in oil and gas wellsite service activities.
(e) The Referee shall determine such items of the calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price as are disputed within thirty (30) calendar days after the objections that remain in dispute are submitted to it.
(f) If any disputed items are submitted to the Referee for resolution, (i) each of Buyer and Sellers shall furnish to the Referee such workpapers and other documents and information relating to such disputed items as the Referee may request and are available to that Party or its Affiliates (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Referee any materials relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Referee prior to any written notice of determination hereunder being delivered by the Referee; (ii) the Referee shall not assign a value to such objection that is greater than the greatest value for such objection claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such objection claimed by either Party; (iii) the determination by the Referee of items of the calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price, as applicable, as set forth in a written notice delivered to Sellers and Buyer by the Referee, shall be made in accordance with this Agreement and shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable (absent manifest error or fraud) and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof; and (iv) the fees and expenses of the Referee (the “Audit Fees”) shall be paid by and apportioned between Buyer and Sellers based on the aggregate dollar amount in dispute and the relative recovery as determined by the Referee or Sellers and Buyer, respectively (such that, by way of example, if the amount in dispute is $100 and it is resolved $70 in favor of Buyer and $30 in favor of Sellers, then Sellers would bear 70% of the Audit Fees and Buyer would bear 30% of the Audit Fees).
Payment of Settlement Amount (1) Within sixty (60) days of the Date of Execution, the Settling Defendants shall pay the Settlement Amount to Siskinds LLP for deposit into the Trust Account.
(2) Payment of the Settlement Amount shall be made by wire transfer. At least thirty (30) days prior to the Settlement Amount becoming due, Siskinds LLP will provide, in writing, the following information necessary to complete the wire transfer: name of bank, address of bank, ABA number, SWIFT number, name of beneficiary, beneficiary’s bank account number, beneficiary’s address, and bank contact details.
(3) The Settlement Amount and other consideration to be provided in accordance with the terms of this Settlement Agreement shall be provided in full satisfaction of the Released Claims against the Releasees.
(4) The Settlement Amount shall be all-inclusive of all amounts, including, without limitation, interest, costs, Administration Expenses, Class Counsel Fees and Class Counsel Disbursements.
(5) The Releasees shall have no obligation to pay any amount in addition to the Settlement Amount, for any reason, pursuant to or in furtherance of this Settlement Agreement, the Proceedings or any Other Actions.
(6) Once a Claims Administrator has been appointed, Siskinds LLP shall transfer control of the Trust Account to the Claims Administrator.
(7) Siskinds LLP and the Claims Administrator shall maintain the Trust Account as provided for in this Settlement Agreement.
(8) Siskinds LLP and the Claims Administrator shall not pay out all or any part of the monies in the Trust Account, except in accordance with this Settlement Agreement, or in accordance with an order of the Courts obtained after notice to the Parties.
Preliminary Settlement Statement Not less than five Business Days prior to the Closing, EXCO shall prepare and submit to BG for review, using the best information available to EXCO, a draft settlement statement (the “Preliminary Settlement Statement”) that shall set forth the Adjusted Closing Cash Consideration, reflecting each adjustment made in accordance with this Agreement as of the date of preparation of such Preliminary Settlement Statement and the calculation of the adjustments used to determine such amount, together with the designation of EXCO’s accounts for the wire transfers of funds as set forth in Section 9.3(c). Within three Business Days of receipt of the Preliminary Settlement Statement, BG will deliver to EXCO a written report containing all changes with the explanation therefor that BG proposes to be made to the Preliminary Settlement Statement, or if BG does not deliver such a written report, BG shall be deemed to have accepted such Preliminary Settlement Statement. During such 3 Business Day period, EXCO shall provide to BG any supporting documentation or information relating to the Preliminary Settlement Statement reasonably requested by BG as soon as reasonably practicable. The Preliminary Settlement Statement, as agreed upon by the Parties, will be used to adjust the Closing Cash Consideration at Closing, without limitation to BG’s right to challenge any adjustments to the Closing Cash Consideration as provided in Sections 3.6 through 3.8 below. If the Parties cannot agree on the Preliminary Settlement Statement prior to the Closing, the Preliminary Settlement Statement as presented by EXCO will be used to adjust the Closing Cash Consideration at Closing.
CONDITIONS OF SETTLEMENT, EFFECT OF DISAPPROVAL, CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION 8.1 The Effective Date of the Stipulation shall be conditioned on the occurrence of all of the following events:

(f) the Judgment has become Final, as defined in ¶1.10 hereof.
8.2 Upon the occurrence of all of the events referenced in ¶8.1 hereof, any and all remaining interest or right of Defendants in or to the Settlement Fund, if any, shall be absolutely and forever extinguished. If all of the conditions specified in ¶8.1 hereof are not met, then the Stipulation shall be canceled and terminated subject to ¶8.5 hereof unless Lead Counsel and counsel for Defendants mutually agree in writing to proceed with the Settlement.
8.3 The Settling Parties expect that, upon the occurrence of all of the events referenced in ¶8.1 hereof, the action captioned ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ v. Camping World, et al., No. 2019-CH-02404 (Ill. Cir. Ct. Cook Cty.) will be subsequently dismissed, and will take all steps reasonably appropriate to seek such dismissal.
8.4 If, prior to the Settlement Hearing, Persons who otherwise would be members of the Class have timely requested exclusion from the Class in accordance with the provisions of the Notice Order and the Notice given pursuant thereto, and such Persons in the aggregate purchased or otherwise acquired a number of shares of Camping World common stock during the Class Period in an amount greater than the sum specified in a separate Supplemental Agreement Regarding Requests for Exclusion (“Supplemental Agreement”) executed between Plaintiffs and Camping World, Camping World shall have the sole option to terminate this Stipulation and Settlement in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Supplemental Agreement. The Supplemental Agreement will not be filed with the Court unless and until a dispute between Plaintiffs and Camping World concerning its interpretation or application arises. Copies of all requests for exclusion received, together with copies of all written revocations of requests for exclusion, shall be promptly delivered to Defendants’ counsel by Lead Counsel. Camping World may terminate the Stipulation and Settlement pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement by serving written notice of termination on the Court and Lead Counsel on or before seven (7) business days after the receipt of all of the copies of the requests for exclusion, on or before ten (10) business days after the Court grants additional time for exclusion for any reason, or on or before three (3) business days before the Settlement Hearing, whichever occurs last.

Plaintiffs agree that they shall not elect to opt out from the Class.
8.5 Each of Plaintiffs and Defendants shall have the right to terminate the Settlement and this Stipulation by providing written notice of their election to do so (“Termination Notice”) to all other parties hereto within thirty (30) calendar days of: (a) the Court’s refusal to enter the Notice Order; (b) the Court’s refusal to approve the Settlement; (c) the Court’s refusal to enter the Judgment; (d) the date upon which the Judgment is reversed or vacated or altered following an appeal taken therefrom, or is successfully collaterally attacked; or (e) the failure of the Effective Date to occur for any reason. For avoidance of doubt, no order of the Court or modification or reversal on appeal of any order of the Court concerning the Plan of Allocation or the amount of attorneys’ fees, expenses and interest awarded by the Court to Lead Counsel or costs or awards to Plaintiffs shall operate to terminate or cancel this Stipulation or constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of the Settlement.

In such event, the terms and provisions of the Stipulation, with the exception of ¶¶1.1-1.28, 3.7-3.9, 7.2, 8.4-8.6 and 9.3-9.5 hereof, shall have no further force and effect with respect to the Settling Parties and shall not be used in this Action or in any other proceeding for any purpose, and any Judgment or order entered by the Court in accordance with the terms of the Stipulation shall be treated as vacated, nunc pro tunc, and the Settling Parties shall be deemed to return to their status as of August 16, 2019, and shall be required to present an amended trial schedule to the Court. No order of the Court or modification or reversal on appeal of any such order of the Court concerning the Plan of Allocation or the amount of any attorneys’ fees, costs, and expenses, and interest awarded by the Court to Lead Counsel or Plaintiffs shall constitute grounds for cancellation or termination of the Stipulation.
