STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of August 11, 2017, by and between Aurum Holdings Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales (“Buyer”), and Birks Group Inc., a Canadian corporation (“Seller”), regarding the purchase of all shares of capital stock of Mayor’s Jewelers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Unless otherwise provided, capitalized terms used herein are defined in Article 10 below.

Recitals

A. Seller owns all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company (the “Shares”).

B. The Company owns all of the outstanding equity interests of each of Mayor’s Jewelers of Florida, Inc., a Florida corporation, Mayor’s Jewelers Intellectual Property Holding Company, JBM Retail Company, Inc., and JBM Venture Co., Inc. (except as otherwise indicated, all of the forgoing subsidiaries are Delaware corporations, and each such subsidiary is referred to herein as a “Company Subsidiary”). Each Company Subsidiary and the Company is referred to herein as an “Acquired Company” and collectively as the “Acquired Companies.”

C. The Company is engaged in the business of selling fine jewelry, timepieces, and gifts in retail stores (the “Business”).

D. Seller has obtained an opinion from Ernst & Young, LLP in relation to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be received under this Agreement.

E. Seller desires to sell, assign and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase the Business from Seller through an acquisition of all of the Shares, upon and subject to the terms herein.

Agreement

In consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement, each Party hereby agrees as follows:

ARTICLE 1 — PURCHASE OF SHARES

Upon and subject to the terms herein, at Closing, Seller will sell, assign and transfer to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase from Seller, all of the Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that the claims included on Schedule 1 shall not be sold, transferred or distributed to Buyer at the Closing. The claims listed on Schedule 1 shall be referred to herein as the “Excluded Assets.”

ARTICLE 2 — PURCHASE PRICE

2.1 Payment of Purchase Price at Closing. Upon and subject to the terms herein, at Closing and on the Closing Date, Buyer will pay the Estimated Purchase Price to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts that Seller designates in writing at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

2.2 Calculation of Estimated Purchase Price. Not fewer than five Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a certificate executed by an executive officer of Seller (the “Pre-Closing Statement”) setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the Estimated Purchase Price and the components thereof, including a good faith estimate of, the Adjusted Net Working Capital and each of the components thereof as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP and the Balance Sheet Rules, as well as a good faith estimate of the Cash Adjustment, Capital Expenditure Adjustment and Transferred Indebtedness. An illustrative example of the accounting principles, procedures and methods used in preparing the sample statement of Adjusted Net Working Capital and the form of Pre-Closing Statement is set forth on Schedule 2.2 (the “Sample Statement”). Illustrative examples of the calculations of Adjusted Net Working Capital, Cash, Capital Expenditure Amounts and Transferred Indebtedness are set forth on Schedules 2.2(a), 2.2(b), 2.2(c) and 2.2(d), respectively. The Parties agree to the methodologies, policies, procedures, practices, estimation techniques, assumptions and principles used in the calculations set forth on Schedule 2.2. The Pre-Closing Statement shall be prepared in consultation with Buyer and will serve as the basis for the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price. At the Closing and subject to the adjustments set forth in this Section 2.2, Buyer shall pay to Seller, as Seller shall direct in the Flow of Funds Memorandum that shall be reasonably agreed to in good faith and executed by the Parties, an amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay any Closing Date Indebtedness (to the extent unpaid as of the Closing) in accordance with the instructions set forth in the applicable payoff letters.

2.3 Post-Closing Adjustment. Within 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a certificate executed by an executive officer of Buyer (subject to modification as set forth below, the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s good faith determination of the Adjusted Net Working Capital and each of the components thereof as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP, the Balance Sheet Rules and the Sample Statement, as well as Buyer’s good faith determination of the Cash Adjustment, Capital Expenditure Adjustment and Transferred Indebtedness as of the Closing Date. Following delivery of the Closing Statement, Buyer shall provide Seller and its representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the Acquired Companies’ personnel and records used to prepare the Closing Statement and the working papers of Buyer’s or the Acquired Companies’ accounting firm, in accordance with and adhering to the reasonable policies and procedures of such firm for such requests, as well as any other supporting documentation for the Closing Statement that Seller may reasonably request. Within 30 days after Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a written statement either accepting the Closing Statement or specifying any objections thereto in reasonable detail (an “Objections Statement”), which objections shall be limited to calculations of amounts not in accordance with GAAP and the Balance Sheet Rules or errors of fact or mathematical errors. If Seller does not deliver an Objections Statement within such 30 day period, then the Closing

Statement shall become final and binding upon all Parties. If Seller delivers an Objections Statement within such 30 day period, then Seller and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith for 30 days following Buyer’s receipt of such Objections Statement to resolve such objections. Any such objections that Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve during such 30-day period is referred to as a “Disputed Item”. After such 30-day period, any matter set forth in the Closing Statement that is not a Disputed Item shall be deemed finally resolved and agreed. If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all objections during such 30-day period, then any Disputed Items (and only such Disputed Items) shall be resolved by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or, if ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP is not available for such assignment, BDO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or, if BDO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is not available for such assignment, another nationally recognized accounting firm upon which Buyer and Seller shall agree (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve any Disputed Items in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within 30 days after its appointment. The resolution of such Disputed Items by the Accounting Firm (i) shall be set forth in writing, (ii) shall be within the range of dispute between Buyer and Seller, and (iii) shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. Upon delivery of such resolution, the Closing Statement, as modified in accordance with such resolution, shall become final and binding upon all Parties. The fees, costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated equally between Buyer and Seller.

2.4 Final Adjustment Amount. Within five Business Days following the date on which the Closing Statement becomes final and binding,

(a) if the Final Purchase Price, as definitively determined based on the Closing Statement, is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of funds to the account specified by Seller as contemplated by Section 2.2, the amount of the difference; or

(b) if the Final Purchase Price, as definitively determined based on the Closing Statement, is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer, the amount of the difference.

ARTICLE 3 — REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

Except as disclosed in the Schedules, Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer, as of the date hereof and as of the date of Closing, as follows:

3.1 Organization and Good Standing. Seller is a duly organized and validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of Canada. Each Acquired Company is a duly organized and validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of its state of incorporation. Each Acquired Company is duly qualified and in good standing to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or leasing of its properties or assets or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Companies. Each of Seller and each Acquired Company has full corporate power and authority to own and lease its properties and assets and conduct its business as now conducted. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.2, no Acquired Company holds any equity interest, directly or indirectly, of any other Person.

All of the issued and outstanding equity interests listed in Schedule 3.2 are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No equity interest of any Acquired Company was issued in violation of any Organizational Document of such Acquired Company, any Applicable Law or any pre-emptive right (or other similar right) of any Person. Except as listed in Schedule 3.2, restrictions imposed by securities laws applicable to securities generally and rights of Buyer created hereunder, the Person identified as holding outstanding capital stock in Schedule 3.2 has good and valid title to all such outstanding capital stock, in each case free and clear of any Encumbrance. Except the rights of Buyer created hereunder, there is no: (1) pre-emptive right, option, warrant, put, call, purchase right, subscription right, conversion right, convertible instrument, exchange right or other security, Contract or commitment of any nature whereby any Person has, or has a right to receive, any equity interest of, or right or obligation to acquire any equity interest of, any Acquired Company; (2) equity appreciation, phantom equity, profit participation, equity-based (or equity-like) award or similar right with respect to any Acquired Company; or (3) voting trust, proxy or other Contract with respect to any equity interest of any Acquired Company. Upon the Closing, Buyer will acquire the Shares free and clear of any Encumbrance.

3.3 Authority and Authorization; Conflicts; Consents.

(a) Authority and Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and each Transaction Document of Seller has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action with respect to Seller. Assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement and each Transaction Document of Buyer, this Agreement is, and each Transaction Document of Seller at Closing will be, the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by any Enforcement Limitation. Seller has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into this Agreement and each Transaction Document to be executed and delivered by Seller and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein and therein to be consummated by Seller.

(b) Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.3(b), neither the execution nor delivery by Seller of this Agreement or by Seller of any Transaction Document nor consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated herein or therein does or will (with or without the passage of time or giving of notice): (1) constitute a breach of, violate, conflict with or give rise to or create any right or obligation under any Organizational Document of Seller or any Acquired Company; (2) violate any Applicable Law, order or injunction with respect to any such Person; or (3) constitute a breach or violation of or a default under any Major Contract or Real Property Lease, conflict with or give rise to or create any right of any Person other than any Acquired Company to accelerate, increase, terminate, modify or cancel any right or obligation

under any Major Contract or Real Property Lease, in each case, in a manner materially adverse to any Acquired Company, or result in the creation of any Encumbrance, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, under, any Major Contract or Real Property Lease.

(c) Consents. Except as listed in Schedule 3.3(c), no consent or approval by, notification to or filing with any Person (collectively, “Consents”) under any Major Contract or Real Property Lease is required in connection with Seller’s execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any Transaction Document of Seller or Seller’s consummation of the transactions contemplated herein or therein.

No Acquired Company or any predecessor thereof is liable for any Tax of any taxpayer other than an Acquired Company under Treasury Regulations section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of any Applicable Law), as a transferee or successor, by Contract or otherwise, for any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, other than with respect to a Current Tax Group.

(k) The Company is not nor has it been a United States real property holding corporation (as defined in section 897(c)(2) of the Code) during the applicable period specified in section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code.

Throughout the seven-year period after Closing, subject to Buyer’s reasonable confidentiality precautions, Buyer will, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice from Seller: (1) cause Seller and Seller’s representatives to have reasonable access to the books and records (including financial and Tax records, Tax Returns, files, papers and related items) of each Acquired Company, and to the personnel responsible for preparing and maintaining such books and records, in each case to the extent necessary or reasonably desirable to (A) defend or pursue any Proceeding, (B) defend or pursue indemnification matters hereunder, including Third Party Claims, (C) prepare or audit financial statements, (D) prepare or file Tax Returns or (E) address other Tax, accounting, financial, regulatory, or legal matters or respond to any investigation or other inquiry by or under the control of any Governmental Authority; and (2) permit Seller and Seller’s representatives to make copies of such books and records for the foregoing purposes; provided, however, that all such activities described in the foregoing (1) and (2) are to be conducted by Seller during normal business hours and at Seller’s sole expense. Any information obtained under this Section 5.3(c) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or in the conduct of a Proceeding.

5.4 Further Assurances. If after Closing any further action is necessary, proper or desirable to carry out any purpose of this Agreement, then each Party will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of further documents) as the other Party reasonably requests to carry out such purpose. The foregoing will be at the expense of such requesting Party, except to the extent such requesting Party is entitled to indemnification therefor or to the extent this Agreement otherwise allocates such expense to any other Party.

5.5 Confidentiality and Publicity.

(a) Confidentiality Agreement. Subject to the other terms of this Section 5.5, the Confidentiality Agreement between Aurum Holdings Ltd. and Seller, dated March 24, 2017 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), will remain in full force and effect pursuant to its terms.

(b) Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents will be issued by any Party without the prior consent of the other Party, except as such release or announcement may be required by Applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any United States or foreign securities exchange, in which case the Party required to make the release or announcement will allow the other Party three (3) Business Days to comment on such release or announcement in advance of issuance; provided, however, that each of the Parties may make internal announcements to their respective employees and representatives that are consistent with the Parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents. Buyer acknowledges that Seller will be required to file a Current Report on Form 6-K that announces the execution and delivery of this Agreement as well as a Current Report on Form 6-K that announces the Closing of the transaction.

5.6 Employee Matters.

(a) Employee Benefits. Following the Closing Buyer will, or will cause one or more of the Acquired Companies to, continue the employment of each employee who is employed by an Acquired Company on the Closing Date (each, a “Continuing Employee”), and for a period of at least one year thereafter will provide to the Continuing Employees compensation and bonus opportunities and employee benefits (excluding equity-based benefits, change in control or similar benefits, and defined benefit pension plans, and benefits under Company Plans that are not sponsored by an Acquired Company) that, in the aggregate, are at least as favorable to the Continuing Employee (and, with respect to benefits, such Continuing Employee’s dependents) as the more favorable of the compensation and employee benefits received by (1) other comparable U.S. employees (and, with respect to benefits, such employees’ dependents) of Buyer or (2) the Continuing Employee (and, with respect to benefits, such Continuing Employee’s dependents) from the Acquired Companies as of immediately before Closing. Without limiting any obligation hereunder or any obligation already existing, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to vacation, sick leave, paid time off and similar benefits, Buyer will cause the Continuing Employees to be given or retain (as applicable) full credit under the employee benefits of Buyer or any applicable Acquired Company after Closing for such Continuing Employees’ service with Seller and its Affiliates (including any Acquired Company) before Closing (including the full carryover to such benefits or retention, as

applicable, of any earned, but unused, vacation, sick leave, or paid time off or pay with respect to the foregoing), except to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits for the same period of service. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause third-party insurance carriers to allow the Continuing Employees to participate in such employee benefits without regard to preexisting conditions, waiting periods, evidence of insurability or other exclusions or limitations not imposed on such individual by, or which were otherwise satisfied under, the applicable Company Plans before Closing. To the extent that Buyer modifies any coverage or benefit plans under which the Continuing Employees participate, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause third-party insurance carriers to give such employees credit under the new coverages or benefit plans for deductibles, co-insurance, and out-of-pocket payments that have been paid during the year in which such coverage or plan modification occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, nothing herein shall require Buyer to provide credit for service for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree health plan.

(b) Certain COBRA Obligations. At all times from and after Closing, solely to the extent required by COBRA, Buyer will, or will cause the Acquired Companies to, make available all COBRA Coverage, with respect to current or former employees of any Acquired Company or their dependents.

(c) No Amendment of Benefits nor Third-Party Beneficiary. Without limiting Section 9.4, (1) no Company Plan, or other employee benefit is or will be deemed to be created or amended by any term hereof, (2) no Person, including any employee (or dependent thereof) of any Acquired Company, is a third party beneficiary of any term of this Section 5.6 or entitled to enforce its terms and (3) nothing in this Section 5.6 shall limit the right of Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Plan, or terminate the employment or engagement of any employee, officer, director or consultant of Buyer or any Acquired Company at any time and for any reason.

(d) Obligations Under Seller’s Long-Term Incentive Plans. Buyer shall not adopt or assume any long-term incentive plan sponsored by Seller, or any awards issued thereunder to any Continuing Employee. Seller shall remain liable for any and all obligations or liabilities arising from the acceleration, expiration, termination or modification of any award under Seller’s long-term incentive plans.

5.7 Exculpation and Indemnification of Directors and Officers. Throughout the six-year period after the Closing Date, Buyer will not amend, repeal or modify of any provision in any Organizational Document of any Acquired Company relating to exculpation or indemnification for pre-Effective Time acts or omissions of its officers and directors holding office before the Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Person that is as of the date hereof or the Closing Date covered as an indemnitee under any such exculpation or indemnification provisions (except to the extent required by Applicable Law), it being the intent of the Parties that such officers and directors will continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification for such acts or omissions to the greatest extent permitted under Applicable Law. Throughout the six-year period after Closing, at Buyer’s expense, Buyer will maintain (or cause to be maintained) in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring before the Effective Time of such

officers and directors on terms no less favorable than those of the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Acquired Companies. Buyer’s obligations under this Section will not be terminated or modified in a manner that adversely affects any Person to whom this Section relates with respect to pre-Effective Time acts or omissions without the consent of such affected Person (it being expressly agreed that each such Person to whom this Section relates will be a third party beneficiary of this Section).

5.8 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Payment of Taxes. Seller will satisfy (or cause to be satisfied) in full when due all Taxes with respect to any Acquired Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period, as defined in Section 5.8(e)) to the extent not reflected in the Closing Statement as Transferred Indebtedness (all of such Taxes being the “Pre-Closing Taxes”). Buyer will satisfy (or cause to be satisfied) in full when due all other Taxes of any Acquired Company. If Buyer is required under Section 5.8(b) to file a Tax Return that involves Pre-Closing Taxes, then no later than 10 Business Days before the filing of any such Tax Return, Seller will pay to Buyer an amount equal to the amount of such Pre-Closing Taxes shown as due on such Tax Return for which Seller is obligated with respect to such Tax Return (but subject to Buyer having provided Seller with reasonable advance notice of such requirement and a reasonable opportunity to confirm such obligation exists). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case will Seller be liable for any such Tax to the extent attributable to any action not in the Ordinary Course of Business of the applicable Acquired Company that is taken by Buyer or any Acquired Company after the Effective Time and that is not otherwise contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller will not be responsible for and will have no obligation to pay to Buyer or any Acquired Company any amount under this Section 5.8(a) with respect to any Taxes other than Pre-Closing Taxes.

(b) Filing Responsibility. Seller will prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all (1) Tax Returns of any Acquired Company required to be filed on or before the Closing Date (after taking into account extensions therefor) and (2) all Tax Returns that included any Acquired Company for any Tax period that ends on or before the Closing Date. Buyer will prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) all other Tax Returns of any Acquired Company. If any Tax Return (whether original or amended) prepared (or caused to be prepared) by Buyer relates to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or if any such Tax Return (whether original or amended) prepared (or caused to be prepared) by Seller relates to any period that is not a Pre-Closing Tax Period, then such Tax Return will be prepared in accordance with the past practice of such Acquired Company (except to the extent otherwise required by Applicable Law) and the preparing Party will give to the other Party a copy of such Tax Return as soon as practicable after the preparation, but before the filing, thereof for such other Party’s review and comment. Such preparing Party will make any changes to such Tax Return that are reasonably requested, so long as consistent with this Agreement.

(c) Cooperation. Each Party will, and each Party will cause its applicable Affiliates to, cooperate in all reasonable respects with respect to Tax matters and provide one another with such information as is reasonably requested to enable the requesting Party to complete and file all Tax Returns it may be required to file (or cause to be filed) with respect to

any Acquired Company to respond to Tax audits, inquiries or other Tax Proceedings and to otherwise satisfy Tax requirements. Such cooperation also will include promptly forwarding copies (to the extent related thereto) of (1) relevant Tax notices, forms or other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Authority (whether or not requested) and (2) reasonably requested copies of all relevant Tax Returns together with accompanying schedules and related workpapers, documents relating to rulings, audits or other Tax determinations by any Governmental Authority and records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property. Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(d) Refunds for Seller’s Benefit; Carrybacks. Seller will be entitled to any Tax refunds or Tax credits (or reductions in Tax liability) actually received by the Acquired Companies prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, including any interest paid therewith, with respect to Taxes paid by any Acquired Company with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including the use of any net operating losses. Buyer agrees to cooperate, and to cause the Acquired Companies to cooperate, with Seller in obtaining all Tax refunds or Tax credits (or reduction in Tax liability) with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period and to promptly pay or cause the Acquired Companies to pay such amounts to Seller after receipt of such amounts. Refunds or credits for a Straddle Period will be allocated consistent with the allocations in Section 5.8(e). Neither Buyer nor any Acquired Company may carry-back any Tax attribute, including a net operating loss, to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(e) Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of Tax with respect to the income, property or operations of any Acquired Company that is attributable to any Straddle Period will be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period that extends before the Closing Date through the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”) and the portion of the Straddle Period that extends from the day after the Closing Date to the end of the Straddle Period in accordance with this Section 5.8(e). The portion of such Tax attributable to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will (1) in the case of any Tax other than Income Taxes, sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment Taxes or similar withholding Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period, and (2) in the case of any Income Taxes, sales or use Taxes, value-added Taxes, employment Taxes or withholding Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on and included the Closing Date. To the extent that any Tax for a Straddle Period is based on the greater of a Tax on net income, on the one hand, and a Tax measured by net worth or some other basis not otherwise measured by income, on the other hand, the portion of such Tax related to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period will be determined based on the foregoing and based on the manner in which the actual Tax liability for the entire Straddle Period is determined.

(f) Amendments. Buyer will not amend, and will not permit the Acquired Companies to amend, any Tax Return or election made in connection therewith for any Tax period or portion thereof beginning on or before the Closing Date without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless required to do so by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority.

(g) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding Section 5.8(a), all Transfer Taxes shall be borne 50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer, and Seller and Buyer will cooperate in timely making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of Applicable Law relating thereto.

(h) Tax-Sharing Agreements. Seller will terminate (or partially terminate, as applicable) all Tax-sharing agreements and similar arrangements between any Acquired Company, on the one hand, and any Affiliate of Seller (other than another Acquired Company), on the other hand, before or as of the Closing Date, such that there is no further liability thereunder.

5.9 Intercompany Accounts. Seller will cause all intercompany accounts in effect immediately before the Effective Time between any Acquired Company, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, to be paid in full at or before Closing, other than with respect to products or services provided or received on arms’ length terms.

5.10 Guaranty Arrangements. Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts (before and after Closing) to cause (a) Seller and each of its Affiliates (other than an Acquired Company) promptly to be unconditionally released from each (if any) guaranty and other obligation to ensure the payment by or performance of any Acquired Company made or given by Seller or such Affiliate (as applicable) or (b) with respect to any third party regarding which actions under clause (a) do not result in such a release, Buyer or one or more of its Affiliates promptly to be substituted for Seller or such Affiliate of Seller (as applicable) as guarantor or obligor (as applicable) under any such guaranty or other such obligation so that Seller and such Affiliate have no obligation thereunder after the Effective Time.

5.11 Employee Credit Cards. Each Party acknowledges that various employees of one or more of the Acquired Companies were provided with and use credit cards for which Seller or any of its Affiliates (that is not an Acquired Company) is directly or indirectly obligated for the related charges, costs or expenses. Within 10 Business Days prior to Closing, Seller will provide Buyer with a list of employees holding such credit cards. At or prior to Closing, Seller will cause each such credit card to be terminated. At Closing, Buyer will provide substitute credit cards to those employees it deems necessary or appropriate.

5.12 Payment of Indebtedness. Other than any Indebtedness as set forth in, and the subject of, Section 5.9, Seller shall cause the Acquired Companies to (a) repay, redeem, defease, satisfy and/or discharge in full on or prior to the Closing any and all Indebtedness (other than Transferred Indebtedness) of such Acquired Company, and (b) with respect to any Indebtedness of Seller or of third parties secured by Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) on property owned or acquired by any such Acquired Company, cause such Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances) to be fully released.

5.13 Post-Closing Claims under Insurance Policies.

(a) Notwithstanding the purchase of the Shares by Buyer, Seller hereby expressly excludes, and does not assign to Buyer, any insurance policies existing as of and prior to the Closing of any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates, which relate to, cover or insure any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates for events occurring as of or prior to the Closing for Loss arising from the Business (collectively, “Pre-Closing Insurance Policies”), regardless of whether such right or benefit arises by statute, agreement or operation of Applicable Law, including defense and indemnity benefits attributable to or arising from or under such Pre-Closing Insurance Policies. Buyer, on behalf of itself and, as of and from the Closing, the Acquired Companies, agrees that, from and after the Closing, it shall be responsible for obtaining any insurance policies which relate to, cover or insure any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates for events occurring from and after the Closing for Loss arising from the Business.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause any carriers who have underwritten the Pre-Closing Insurance Policies to continue to make coverage available to Acquired Companies following the Closing for claims arising out of occurrences prior to the Closing to the extent such claims are covered prior to the Closing Date under the policy expiring on April 1, 2018. Seller shall not be required to pay any additional premiums to continue such policies beyond the current policy period (which expires on April 1, 2018) but shall not release, commute, buy-back or otherwise eliminate the coverage available to Acquired Companies under any such insurance policies for the term of the current policy. Seller shall not have an obligation to renew or extend any existing policies that terminate by their terms after Closing.

(c) Seller acknowledges the right of Buyer for access to the benefit of such insurance for such pre-Closing occurrences (the “Pre-Closing Insurance Claims”). Following the Closing, Seller shall cooperate with and assist Buyer in issuing notices of claims under such insurance policies, presenting such claims for payment and collecting insurance proceeds related hereto for the benefit of Buyer. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller or its Affiliates or the applicable insurer in the investigation, contesting, defense or settlement of such Pre-Closing Insurance Claims. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) any Losses involving or related to Pre-Closing Insurance Claims that are in excess of insurance coverage therefor (net of any retention amounts, recovery costs, increases in premium and related deductible payable by Seller or its Affiliates in connection therewith) under applicable Pre-Closing Insurance Policies shall not be the responsibility of Seller or its Affiliates, (y) Seller or its Affiliates shall have the right, subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Pre-Closing Insurance Policy, to investigate, contest, assume the defense of or settle any Pre-Closing Insurance Claim; and (z) any amounts paid by an insurer and/or received by Buyer pursuant to this Section 5.13(c) shall not constitute indemnifiable Losses under Article 8, and Buyer shall have no right to indemnification under Article 8 with respect to any such amounts. Furthermore, to the extent any Pre-Closing Insurance Claim has been brought under a Pre-Closing Insurance Policy by Seller or its Affiliates, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) to, from and after the Closing, cooperate with Seller or such Affiliate in the investigation, contesting, defense or settlement of any such Pre-Closing Insurance Claim.

5.14 Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation.

(a) Noncompetition. During the Restricted Period, Seller, directly or indirectly, for itself, or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person whether as a shareholder, owner, partner, joint venturer, independent contractor, consultant or advisor, will not open or operate any retail jewelry stores that compete with the Business of the Company in the States of Florida and Georgia. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.14(a), nothing in these restrictive covenants shall prohibit, preclude or otherwise restrict Seller or its Affiliates from (i) designing, developing, selling, distributing, wholesaling, and/or manufacturing Seller’s or its Affiliates’ products anywhere in the world, (ii) engaging in e-commerce of Seller’s, its Affiliates’ or third party products anywhere in the world, (iii) the ownership of securities of Persons engaging in a competitive business that are listed on a national securities exchange or traded on the national over-the-counter market in an amount that shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the outstanding securities of any such publicly traded company, or (iv) acquiring a company or group of companies even if such company or group of companies may have direct or indirect ownership or participation in a Person that engages in a competitive business, provided that the portion that would otherwise contravene these restrictive covenants comprises less than fifty percent (50%) of that company’s or group’s revenue.

(b) Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not employ or call upon for the purpose or with the intent of enticing or soliciting away from or out of the employ of Buyer or its Affiliates any person who is on the Closing Date an employee of any Acquired Company; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Seller or its Affiliates from hiring or employing any such person to the extent such person has ceased to be an employee of Buyer or one of its Affiliates for more than twelve (12) months. Seller or its Affiliates shall not be deemed to have solicited any Person in violation of this Section 5.14 solely as a result of making a general solicitation undertaken in the Ordinary Course of Business and not specifically targeting any person covered by this Section. Buyer acknowledges that Seller shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 5.14(b) unless the persons actively involved in the hiring, enticing or soliciting had actual knowledge of the obligations under this Section 5.14(b).

(c) Equitable Remedies. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic Losses to Buyer and its Affiliates as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants in this Section 5.14, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to Buyer and its Affiliates for which it may have no other adequate remedy, Seller hereby agrees that in the event of breach or threatened breach by Seller, Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance and any other equitable remedies including injunctions and restraining orders, in addition to, but not in lieu of, any other available remedies (including monetary Losses).

5.15 Notice of Certain Matters. Seller and Buyer shall give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence of any event or the failure of any event to occur that might preclude or interfere with the timely satisfaction of any condition precedent to the obligations of Seller or Buyer under this Agreement. The giving of any notice under this Section 5.15 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to the Parties under this Agreement; provided, however, that any matter set forth in any written notice given under this Section 5.15 that would have been required to be set forth on Schedules 3.5(h), 3.6, 3.8(a), 3.10(a), 3.12, 3.13, 3.15(b), 3.19 as of the date hereof shall, automatically upon the giving of such written notice, be deemed to have been set forth on such respective Schedule.

5.16 Excluded Assets. From and after the Closing, if Buyer or its Affiliate receives or collects any funds relating to the Excluded Assets, Buyer or its Affiliate shall remit any such funds to Seller within five (5) Business Days after its receipt thereof. From and after the Closing, if Buyer or its Affiliate incurs any cost or expense relating to the Excluded Assets, Seller shall reimburse any such cost or expense to Buyer or its Affiliate within five (5) Business Days after receiving notice from Buyer or its Affiliate.

5.17 R&W Insurance Policy.

(a) The Parties acknowledge that, as of the date of this Agreement, Buyer has bound the R&W Insurance Policy, and that a true and correct copy of such R&W Insurance Policy has been provided to Seller. Buyer and its Affiliates (i) shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, amend, waive or otherwise modify the R&W Insurance Policy in any manner adverse to Seller’s interest, and (ii) shall inform Seller promptly of any other amendments made to the R&W Insurance Policy.

(b) Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, an amount equal to $202,925 and Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, an amount equal to $187,925, to the insurance carrier or broker (as applicable), with respect to the premium and related costs for the R&W Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 6.5(e), 6.5(f) or 6.5(g), Seller shall have no obligation to Buyer for any fees or costs relating to the R&W Insurance Policy, and (2) if this transaction does not close by the Outside Date for any other reason, Seller shall only be obligated to reimburse Buyer for fifty percent (50%) of the underwriting fee and the premium already paid by Buyer related to the R&W Insurance Policy up to $32,750.

6.5 Termination of Agreement. The sole and exclusive rights to terminate this Agreement before Closing (and the Party that has any such right) are as follows:

(a) by mutual written consent of the Parties;

(b) by either Party, if Closing has not occurred on or before the Outside Date; provided that the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder is not then being prevented by the willful and material breach by the terminating party of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement;

(c) by either Buyer or Seller if an order, decree, ruling, judgment or injunction has been entered by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise limiting or prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling, judgment or injunction has become final and non-appealable;

(d) by Buyer, if any condition in Section 7.1 becomes incapable of fulfillment by the Outside Date; provided that the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder is not then being prevented by the willful and material breach by Buyer of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement;

(e) by Seller, if Buyer has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) has given rise to or would reasonably give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 and (ii) either (A) cannot be cured or (B) has not been cured within the earlier of ten (10) days of written notice of such breach or the Outside Date; provided that the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder is not then being prevented by the willful and material breach by Seller of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement;

(f) by Seller if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature would be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being satisfied assuming a Closing would occur or reasonable evidence that Seller has or had the then current ability to satisfy such conditions) and (ii) Buyer has not consummated the Closing as required pursuant to Section 6.1; provided that Seller shall have given Buyer two (2) days prior written notice of its intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this clause (f) and stating that Seller stands ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby during such a period; or

(g) by Buyer, by notice to Seller of its abandonment of this Agreement, delivered on or before November 15, 2017.

A termination of this Agreement under any of the preceding clauses (b) through (f) will be effective three Business Days after the Party seeking termination gives to the other Party written notice of such termination and termination of this Agreement under the preceding clause (g) will only be effective upon Seller’s actual receipt of the Break-Up Fee. Notwithstanding any term in this Section 6.5, a Party will not have the right to terminate this Agreement (except by mutual written consent pursuant to Section 6.5(a)) if the failure to satisfy any condition to Closing or

consummate the transactions contemplated herein results in any material respect from the breach or anticipated breach by such Party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements herein or in any Transaction Document of such Party. Upon termination of this Agreement by either Party, Buyer and Seller will promptly issue a mutually agreeable joint press release announcing the termination of the Agreement.

6.6 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6.5, then this Agreement will be of no further force or effect, except for the terms of Sections 5.2(c)(1) and Section 5.2(c)(2) (entitled, “Cooperation Undertakings”) (relating solely to Buyer’s indemnification obligations to Seller under such sections), Section 5.5 (entitled, “Confidentiality and Publicity”), Section 6.7 (entitled “Break-Up Fee”), Section 9.2 (entitled, “Expenses”), Section 9.5 (entitled, “Governing Law”), Section 9.6 (entitled, “Jurisdiction, Venue and Waiver of Jury Trial”), and this Section 6.6 which shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Upon any termination pursuant to Section 6.5, no Party will have any further liability or other obligation hereunder or in connection herewith, except pursuant to a Section listed in the immediately preceding sentence or for any (a) intentional fraud, or (b) willful or intentional breach by such Party. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach of this Agreement by Buyer for failing to pay the purchase price will be deemed an intentional breach by Buyer.

6.7 Break-Up Fee.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated (i) by Seller pursuant to Section 6.5(e) or Section 6.5(f), or (ii) by Buyer pursuant to Section 6.5(g), Buyer shall pay Seller the Break-Up Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller, within three (3) Business Days of the date of termination of this Agreement (if so terminated by Seller) or prior to or contemporaneously with the termination of this Agreement (if so terminated by Buyer) provided the termination shall not be effective unless Seller has received the Break-Up Fee.

(b) Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge that the obligation to deliver the Break-Up Fee (to the extent due hereunder) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be paid pursuant to the terms herein.

(c) Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing, upon any such termination of this Agreement by Seller in circumstances where the Break-Up Fee is required to be paid pursuant to this Section 6.7, the right to the Break-Up Fee constitutes a reasonable estimate of the Losses that will be suffered by reason of any such termination of this Agreement and constitutes liquidated damages (and not a penalty).

(d) The Parties hereunder acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 6.7 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, neither of the Parties hereto would enter into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, upon payment of the Break-Up Fee, Buyer shall have no further liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any Transaction Document.

6.8 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that (1) this Section 6.8 is reasonable and necessary to ensure that each Party receives the expected benefits of the sale and purchase of the Shares, (2) each Party would have refused to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 6.8, (3) the other Party may be damaged irreparably if this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its terms or otherwise is breached and (4) in such case monetary damages alone may not be an adequate remedy and there may not be an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, a Party (in addition to all other remedies it may have and notwithstanding Section 8.3(d)) will be entitled to seek an injunction and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches hereof and to enforce specifically the terms of this Agreement and shall not be required to provide, furnish or post any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the provision, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, may not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to complete the Closing) in accordance with its terms and conditions or otherwise breach such provisions. Each of the Parties agrees that unless this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with Sections 6.5(e), 6.5(f), or 6.5(g), it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (x) the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 6.8, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement, including monetary damages or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 6.8 are not available or otherwise are not granted and (ii) nothing contained in this Section 6.8 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 6.8 before exercising any termination right under Section 6.5 (and, in the case of Seller, seeking payment of the Break-Up Fee in connection with such termination, if owed) nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 6.8 or anything contained in this Section 6.8 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 6.5 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing is without prejudice to Section 6.7.

8.5 Notice of Claims and Procedures.

(a) Notice of Claims. A Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Claiming Party”) will give the Party obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt notice of any claim, for which such Claiming Party proposes to demand indemnification, (1) by a Person that is not a Party nor an Other Indemnified Person (such a claim, including any Tax Claim, being a “Third Party Claim” and such notice of such

Third Party Claim being the “Initial Claim Notice”) or (2) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, in each case specifying the amount and nature of such claim (to the extent known). Thereafter, the Claiming Party will give the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Claiming Party’s (or any of its applicable Other Indemnified Person’s) receipt or delivery thereof, copies of all documents (including court papers) received or delivered by the Claiming Party (or any such Other Indemnified Person) relating to any such Third Party Claim. The failure to promptly give such notice or to promptly give such copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability hereunder, except if the Indemnifying Party was prejudiced thereby, but only to the extent of such prejudice.

(b) Access and Cooperation. Each Party will, and will cause its Other Indemnified Persons to, cooperate and assist in all reasonable respects regarding such Third Party Claim, including by promptly making available to such other Party (and its legal counsel and other professional advisers with a reasonable need to know) all books and records of such Person relating to such Third Party Claim, subject to reasonable confidentiality precautions.

(c) Defense and Participation Regarding Non-Tax Matters. This Section 8.5(c) relates only to Third Party Claims that are not a Tax Claim.

(1) Election to Conduct Defense. After receiving an Initial Claim Notice under Section 8.5(a), the Indemnifying Party will have the option to conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim (the conduct of such Defense being at the expense of the Indemnifying Party). To elect to conduct such Defense, the Indemnifying Party must give written notice of such election to the Claiming Party within 15 days (or within the shorter period, if any, during which a Defense must be commenced for the preservation of rights) after the Claiming Party gives the corresponding Initial Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party.

(2) Conduct of Defense, Participation and Settlement. If the Indemnifying Party conducts the Defense of such Third Party Claim, then (A) the Claiming Party may participate, at its own expense, in such Defense and will have the right to receive copies of all notices, pleadings or other similar submissions regarding such Defense, (B) each Party will keep the other Party reasonably informed of all matters material to such Defense and Third Party Claim at all stages thereof, (C) the Claiming Party will not (and will cause its Other Indemnified Persons not to) admit any obligation with respect to, or compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and (D) the Indemnifying Party will not (and will cause its Other Indemnified Persons not to) admit any obligation with respect to, or compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim without the Claiming Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), if such compromise or settlement in this clause (2)(D) (x) involves any material limitation on any future operations of the Claiming Party (or any of its Other Indemnified Persons), (y) affects in a manner materially and adverse to the Claiming Party (or any of its Other Indemnified Persons) any other existing Third Party Claim of which the Indemnifying Party has Knowledge that reasonably may be expected to be made against such Person or (z) does not release the Claiming Party (and any applicable Other Indemnified Person) from all obligations regarding such Third Party Claim, other than any obligation satisfied by the Indemnifying Party.

(3) Indemnifying Party Does Not Conduct Defense. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim, then the Claiming Party (A) may conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim in any manner that the Claiming Party reasonably deems appropriate, the conduct of such Defense being at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the other limitations of this Article 8 and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is otherwise obligated under this Article 8), (B) will keep each other applicable Party reasonably informed of all matters material to such Defense and Third Party Claim at all stages thereof and (C) will have the right to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim after receiving the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld).

(d) Procedures for Tax Claims. This Section 8.5(d) only relates to claims for indemnification that involve a Tax Claim (and then only to such Tax Claim itself).

(1) Certain Procedures. Subject to the exceptions stated in this Section 8.5(d)(1) and the provisions of Section 8.5(d)(2):

a. Seller will have the option to control (at its own expense) any Proceeding that relates to Taxes of any Acquired Company that relates solely to a Tax period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date, and, without limiting the foregoing, Seller may in its reasonable discretion take actions that include to pursue or forego any hearing, conference or other Proceeding with any applicable Governmental Authority with respect thereto, pay the Tax claimed, ▇▇▇ for a refund (where Applicable Law permits such a refund suit) or contest such Tax Claim (including any combination of the foregoing); provided, that Buyer shall be entitled to participate in any such Proceeding at its own expense and receive copies of any written materials relating to such Proceeding received from the relevant Governmental Authority; and

b. Buyer will have the option to control (at its own expense) any Proceeding that relates to Taxes of an Acquired Company for any Straddle Period, and, without limiting the foregoing, Buyer may in its reasonable discretion take actions that include to pursue or forego any hearing, conference or other Proceeding with any applicable Governmental Authority with respect thereto, pay the Tax claimed, ▇▇▇ for a refund (where Applicable Law permits such a refund suit) or contest such Tax Claim (including any combination of the foregoing); provided, that, Seller shall be entitled to participate in any such Proceeding at its own expense and receive copies of any written materials relating to such Proceeding received from the relevant Governmental Authority.

c. Buyer shall be entitled to sole control of the conduct any Tax Proceeding that relates solely to a Post-Closing Tax Period (at its own expense) and Seller shall have no participation rights or right to receive any written materials with respect to any such Proceeding.

(2) Certain Limitations on Resolution of Tax Claims. Notwithstanding Section 8.5(d)(1), in the case of any Proceeding that relates to Taxes of an Acquired Company with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or a Straddle Period, the controlling Party will not (and will cause each of its Other Indemnified Persons not to) admit any obligation with respect to, or settle or compromise, any Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have the right to settle any Tax contest that relates solely to a Post-Closing Tax Period in its sole discretion.

8.6 Mitigation. Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate (including by causing its Other Indemnified Persons to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate) each Loss for which such Party is or may become entitled to be indemnified hereunder (ignoring that there may be rights to indemnification hereunder), including (a) diligently pursuing and attempting to recover all insurance proceeds under each applicable insurance policy and diligently pursuing and attempting to obtain all Tax Benefits, (b) incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy any breach and remediate an applicable situation and (c) refraining from encouraging or soliciting any Third Party Claim. No Party (or any of its Other Indemnified Persons) will be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any such Loss to the extent the indemnification obligations hereunder have increased due to the failure of such Person to use such commercially reasonable efforts.

8.7 Reduction for Insurance, Taxes and Other Offsets.

(a) Reductions. The obligations of each Indemnifying Party hereunder regarding any Loss will be reduced, including retroactively, by the amount of any insurance proceeds, benefit regarding Taxes (a “Tax Benefit”) or other amount or benefit received, directly or indirectly, by the Claiming Party (or any of its Other Indemnified Persons) regarding such Loss. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if (1) the Claiming Party (or such Other Indemnified Person) receives from or on behalf of an Indemnifying Party, or an Indemnifying Party pays on behalf of the Claiming Party (or such Other Indemnified Person), a payment regarding a Loss, and (2) the Claiming Party (or such Other Indemnified Person) receives, directly or indirectly, any insurance proceeds, Tax Benefit or other amount or benefit regarding such Loss, then such Claiming Party (for itself or on behalf of such Other Indemnified Person, as applicable) will promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party the amount of such insurance proceeds, Tax Benefit or other amount or benefit, or, if less, the amount of such payment. The amount of such insurance proceeds, Tax Benefit or other amount or benefit received will be net of any costs and expenses incurred by the Claiming Party (or such Other Indemnified Person) in procuring the same and after giving effect to the identified impact of such recovery on insurance premiums or other costs of insurance. For purposes of this Section 8.7, “Tax Benefit” means any Tax savings actually realized as a reduction in cash Taxes that otherwise would have been paid by the Claiming Party (or such Other Indemnified Person, as applicable) prior to the close of the taxable year following the taxable year of the accompanying Loss.

(b) Effect of Reducing Insurance Coverage. If at or after Closing Buyer does not, or does not cause the applicable Acquired Company to, maintain insurance coverage substantially similar to, or more protective than, the insurance coverage that covered such Acquired Company immediately before Closing, then Buyer (on behalf of itself or any of

Buyer’s Other Indemnified Persons) will not have any right to assert any claim for indemnification with respect to any Loss to the extent that such Loss would have been covered by such pre-Closing insurance coverage had such insurance coverage been maintained at and after Closing.

8.8 Subrogation.

(a) Waiver of Insurers’ Rights Against Indemnifying Party. Each Party hereby waives (and agrees to cause its applicable Other Indemnified Persons to waive), to the extent permitted under its (and their) insurance policies, any subrogation rights that its (or their) insurer may have against the Indemnifying Party with respect to any Loss.

(b) Subrogation for Indemnifying Party After Payment. If an Indemnifying Party makes an indemnification payment to a Claiming Party (or to any of its Other Indemnified Persons) with respect to any Loss, then such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all related rights and remedies of such Claiming Party (or, if applicable, of such Other Indemnified Person) under any insurance policy or otherwise against or with respect to such Loss, except with respect to amounts not yet recovered by such Claiming Party (or such Other Indemnified Person) under any such insurance policy or otherwise that already have been netted against such Loss for purposes of determining the indemnifiable amount of such Loss.

8.9 Indemnification Adjusts Purchase Price for Tax Purposes. Each Party will, including retroactively, treat indemnification payments under this Agreement as adjustments to the purchase price for Tax purposes to the extent permitted under Applicable Law.

8.10 No Other Assurances. Notwithstanding any other term herein and without limiting any other limitation herein, other than as expressly made by Seller in Article 3, Seller has not made (and no Person on behalf of Seller has made), nor will Seller (or any other Person) have or be subject to any liability or other obligation arising out of, relating to or resulting from, any representation or warranty or similar assurance (whether direct or indirect, written or oral, or statutory, express or implied, including any express or implied warranties of merchantability or of fitness for an intended purpose), including in each case regarding (a) any information or document given or made available (or not given or made available) to Buyer or any Person on Buyer’s behalf regarding any Acquired Company, (b) the effect of any of the transactions contemplated herein on the business of Buyer or any Acquired Company or the reaction thereto of any Person or (c) any Forward-Looking Statement (including any underlying assumption).

Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder will be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred (by operation of law or otherwise) by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), except that Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a direct or indirect subsidiary (it being understood that such assignment will not release Buyer from its obligations hereunder). This Agreement will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Parties. Any purported assignment, delegation or other transfer not permitted by this Section is void.

9.9 Severability; Blue-Pencil. The terms of this Agreement will, where possible, be interpreted and enforced so as to sustain their legality and enforceability, read as if they cover only the specific situation to which they are being applied and enforced to the fullest extent permissible under Applicable Law. If any term of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, then all other terms of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and such term automatically will be amended so that it is valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, but as close to the Parties’ original intent as is permissible.

9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each Party hereto and delivered, in person or by facsimile, or by electronic image scan, receipt acknowledged, to the other Parties.

9.11 Schedules. Certain information is contained in the Schedules solely for informational purposes, may not be required to be disclosed pursuant hereto and will not imply that such information or any other information is required to be disclosed. Inclusion of such information will not establish any level of materiality or similar threshold or be an admission that any of such information is material to the business, assets, liabilities, financial position, operations or results of operations of any Person or otherwise is material to such Person. Each item disclosed in any Schedule, representation or warranty in a manner that makes its relevance to one or more other Schedules, representations or warranties reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure will be deemed to have been appropriately included in each such other Schedule, representation or warranty (notwithstanding the presence or absence of any reference in or to any Schedule, representation or warranty).

9.12 Legal Representation. Recognizing that Holland & Knight LLP (“H&K”) has acted as legal counsel to the Acquired Companies and Seller prior to the Closing, and that H&K may act as legal counsel to Seller after the Closing, each of Buyer and the Acquired Companies hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any conflicts of interest that may arise in connection with H&K representing Seller after the Closing in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, based on the fact that H&K may be deemed to have represented the Acquired Companies and Seller prior to the Closing or in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. In addition, all communications involving attorney-

client confidences between any Acquired Company, Seller and H&K in the course of the negotiation and documentation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller (and not any Acquired Company) and may be controlled by Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Acquired Companies) will be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the negotiation and documentation of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Pre-sale Communications”), and each Acquired Company will not be a holder of the Pre-sale Communications, and (b) H&K will have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose the Pre-sale Communications or files pertaining to the Pre-sale Communications to any Acquired Company by reason of any attorney-client relationship between H&K and the Acquired Companies or otherwise. Any access by Buyer or any Acquired Company to Pre-sale Communications after the Closing (whether through any Acquired Company’s computer systems or otherwise) will not amount to a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, nor will it adversely affect any rights of Seller with respect to that attorney-client privilege.
