AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 24, 2014, is by and among Sequential Brands Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), SBG Universe Brands, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“LLC Sub”), Universe Galaxy Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of LLC Sub (“Merger Sub”), Galaxy Brand Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Galaxy”), Carlyle Equity Opportunity GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the representative of the Galaxy Stockholders (the “Stockholder Representative”), and, for purposes of Section 6.5(b) only, Carlyle Galaxy Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Carlyle”).

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent and Galaxy deem it advisable and in the best interests of each corporation and its respective stockholders that Parent and Galaxy engage in a business combination in order to advance the long-term strategic business interests of each of Parent and Galaxy;

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent and Galaxy have determined that such business combination shall be effected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement through the Mergers in accordance with the applicable provisions of General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”);

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of Parent and Galaxy have approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Mergers, and determined that the terms of this Agreement and the Mergers are in the respective best interests of Parent, Galaxy, Merger Sub or LLC Sub, as the case may be, and the stockholders of Parent and Galaxy and the sole stockholder and sole member of Merger Sub and LLC Sub;

WHEREAS, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain stockholders of Galaxy will be executing and delivering to Galaxy and Parent a written consent pursuant to which such holders shall approve and adopt this Agreement in accordance with Section 228 and Section 251(c) of the DGCL, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A;

WHEREAS, immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain stockholders of Parent will be executing and delivering to Parent and Galaxy a written consent pursuant to which such holders shall approve the Stock Issuance, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B;

WHEREAS, Parent, Galaxy and Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Mergers and also to prescribe various conditions to the Mergers; and

WHEREAS, each of the parties intends that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the Initial Merger and the Subsequent Merger, taken together, constitute an integrated plan described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321 (the “Integrated Transaction”), (ii) the Integrated Transaction will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder to which each of Parent and Galaxy are to be parties under Section 368(b) of the Code and (iii) this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGERS

1.1 The Mergers. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Galaxy (the “Initial Merger”). Immediately following the Initial Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Galaxy shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Initial Merger (the “Initial Surviving Corporation”). As a result of the Initial Merger, Galaxy shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of LLC Sub. Immediately following the Initial Merger, the Initial Surviving Corporation shall be merged with and into LLC Sub (the “Subsequent Merger” and collectively or in seriatim with the Initial Merger, as appropriate, the “Mergers”) in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 267 of the DGCL and the Limited Liability Company Act of the State of Delaware (the “LLC Act” and, together with the DGCL, “Delaware Law”), with LLC Sub (which is sometimes called the “Final Surviving Company”) surviving such Subsequent Merger, and the separate corporate existence of the Initial Surviving Corporation shall cease.

1.2 Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Mergers shall take place at 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, at such place as Galaxy and Parent may agree in writing, as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the second Business Day) following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of those conditions), or at such other time and date as shall be agreed in writing between Parent and Galaxy. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”.

1.3 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties shall file a certificate of merger with respect to the Initial Merger satisfying the applicable requirements of the DGCL (the “First Certificate of Merger”) concurrently with or as soon as practicable following the Closing, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Initial Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the First Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as Parent and Galaxy agree and specify in the First Certificate of Merger (the “First Effective Time”). Immediately following the First Effective Time, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties shall file a certificate of ownership and merger with respect to the Subsequent Merger satisfying the applicable requirements of Delaware Law (the “Second Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Subsequent Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Second Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as the Initial Surviving Corporation and Parent (with the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative) agree and specify in the Second Certificate of Merger (the “Second Effective Time”).

1.4 Effects. The Mergers shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, (i) at the First Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Merger Sub shall vest in the Initial Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Initial Surviving Corporation and (ii) at the Second Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Initial Surviving Corporation shall vest in the Final Surviving Company, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Initial Surviving Corporation shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Final Surviving Company.

1.5 Certificates of Incorporation and Bylaws.

(a) Initial Surviving Corporation Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. At the First Effective Time, (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Initial Surviving Corporation as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be amended and restated to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub, except that references to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced with references to the name of the Initial Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by applicable Law, and (ii) the bylaws of the Initial Surviving Corporation as in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be amended and restated to be identical to the bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, except that references to the name of Merger Sub shall be replaced with references to the name of the Initial Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

(b) Final Surviving Company Certificate of Formation and Operating Agreement. At the Second Effective Time, (i) the certificate of formation of LLC Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall become the certificate of formation of the Final Surviving Company, until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Law, and (ii) the limited liability company operating agreement of LLC Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall become the limited liability company operating agreement of the Final Surviving Company, until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Law.

1.6 Directors and Officers.

(a) Initial Surviving Corporation Directors and Officers. The directors and officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be the directors and officers of the Initial Surviving Corporation until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

(b) Final Surviving Company Certificate Managers and Officers. The managers and officers of LLC Sub immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be the managers and officers of the Final Surviving Company until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

ARTICLE II

EFFECT ON CAPITAL STOCK AND EQUITY AWARDS;

PAYMENT PROCEDURES

2.1 Effect on Capital Stock and Equity Awards of Initial Merger.

(a) At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the Initial Merger and without any action on the part of Galaxy, Parent, Merger Sub or the holder of any Galaxy Shares or Merger Sub capital stock:

(i) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.01 per share, shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Initial Surviving Corporation (the “Initial Surviving Corporation Common Stock”).

(ii) Cancellation of Certain Stock. Each share of (A) Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Galaxy (the “Galaxy Class A Common Stock”), (B) Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Galaxy (the “Galaxy Class B Common Stock” and, collectively with the Galaxy Class A Common Stock, the “Galaxy Common Stock”), and (C) Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Galaxy (the “Galaxy Preferred Stock” and, collectively with the Galaxy Common Stock, the “Galaxy Shares”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time that is owned by Galaxy or its Subsidiaries and each Galaxy Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time that is owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries (except in the case of Galaxy Shares held on behalf of third parties) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(iii) Conversion of Galaxy Shares. Each Galaxy Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(ii) and Dissenting Shares), shall be converted into the right to receive the Final Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.

(b) Options. At the First Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Galaxy Class A Common Stock (“Option”) (whether vested or unvested) shall be deemed fully vested and shall be canceled, and each holder of an Option shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to any withholding Taxes, a portion of the Final Merger Consideration equal to the product of (i) the number of Galaxy Shares for which such Option is exercisable and (ii) the amount by which the value of the Final Per Share Merger Consideration (with the value of Parent Shares and Warrants determined with reference to the Parent Average Trading Price and the Warrant Value, respectively) exceeds the per share exercise price of such Option, if any (the “Option Consideration”); provided, that any Option granted under the Stock Plan shall, in lieu of the foregoing and as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time, be deemed fully vested, be deemed exercised in full and be converted into the number of Galaxy Shares, rounded down to the nearest whole share (each, an “Option Share”), having a fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Galaxy Board utilizing the Parent Average Trading Price and the Warrant Value) equal to the Option Consideration that would have otherwise been payable in respect of such Option under this Section 2.1(b). Each Option Share shall be treated as an issued and outstanding Galaxy Share for all purposes hereunder, except that the holder of an Option Share shall not be required hereunder to deliver a Letter of Transmittal or surrender share certificates in respect of such Option Share prior to receiving any portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration payable in respect of such Option Share and shall instead deliver, as a condition precedent to the receipt of the Closing Date Merger Consideration, an Optionholder Release Agreement prior to the Closing. From and after the First Effective Time, each holder of Options converted into the right to receive the Option Consideration which were not granted under the Stock Plan (“Non-Compensatory Options”) shall be required, as a condition precedent to the receipt of the Option Consideration, to surrender the document or agreement evidencing such Non-Compensatory Option (or an affidavit of loss in form and substance satisfactory to Parent related thereto) and deliver an optionholder release agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Optionholder Release Agreement”). At or after the First Effective Time, upon surrender of such document or agreement evidencing a Non-Compensatory Option or its loss by the holder of such Non-Compensatory Option together with an Optionholder Release Agreement, the holder of such Non-Compensatory Option shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, without interest, the Option Consideration (or, in the event that such surrender occurs prior to the Closing Date, then at the Closing). The Option Consideration shall be paid to the Option holders in the same proportion of cash, Parent Shares and Warrants as the Final Per Share Merger Consideration is paid to holders of Galaxy Class A Common Stock, and the holders of Non-Compensatory Options may elect by written notice to Parent to receive the cash portion of the Option Consideration either by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. With respect to any Option Shares, (A) the cash portion of the Closing Date Class A Per Share Merger Consideration shall be paid, subject to any applicable withholding Taxes on the deemed exercise with respect to the total value of the Closing Date Class A Per Share Merger Consideration, by the Final Surviving Company utilizing its payroll system as promptly as practicable, but in any event on the date of payment during the first full payroll cycle following the First Effective Time and (B) the Parent Shares and Warrant portions of the Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be delivered on the Closing Date; provided, that if the cash portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration paid in respect of an Option Share is less than the amount of Taxes required to be withheld and the holder of such Option Share does not pay or cause to be paid to Parent in cash the remaining amount of Taxes required to be withheld, Parent shall withhold from such holder’s Closing Date Merger Consideration a number of Parent Shares the value of which (determined by reference to the Parent Average Trading Price) when combined with the cash portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration paid to such holder equals the amount required to be withheld and shall cause the full amount of Taxes required to be withheld to be timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity.

(c) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Galaxy Shares (other than any Galaxy Shares to be cancelled pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii)) outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Initial Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has properly demanded appraisal for such Galaxy Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, if such Section provides for appraisal rights for such Galaxy Shares in the Initial Merger (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive a portion of the Final Merger Consideration unless and until such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL. If, after the First Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Final Merger Consideration, if any, to which such holder is entitled, without interest. Prior to the Closing, Galaxy shall give Parent (a) prompt notice of any demands received by Galaxy for appraisal of Galaxy Shares pursuant to the DGCL and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands or, to the extent not fully indemnified hereunder, the opportunity to control all such negotiations and proceedings. Galaxy shall not without the prior written consent of Parent make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, such demands, except to the extent indemnified hereunder.

(d) Calculation of Final Merger Consideration. The parties understand and agree that the Final Per Share Merger Consideration has been calculated based upon the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(a) and (b) and that, in the event the number of outstanding Galaxy Shares or the number of outstanding Options or other stock equivalents is greater or less than the amounts specifically set forth in Section 3.2(a) (including as a result of (i) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(a) and (b) or any inaccuracy in Section 3.2 of the Galaxy Disclosure Schedule, (ii) the issuance or expiration after the date of this Agreement, but prior to the First Effective Time, of options, warrants or other rights to purchase Galaxy capital stock, or (iii) any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into stock or any stock equivalent of Galaxy, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change occurring after the date of this Agreement but prior to the First Effective Time), the Final Per Share Merger Consideration shall be appropriately adjusted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall the sum of the payments due and payable pursuant to this Article II exceed an amount equal to the Final Merger Consideration plus any amounts payable in connection with Dissenting Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(c). In no event will Parent or Merger Sub have any obligation or liability to any Person (other than in respect of any Dissenting Shares) in the event the sum of the payments due and payable pursuant to this Article II exceed the Final Merger Consideration. In calculating the Final Per Share Merger Consideration payable under this Agreement, Parent shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.2(a) and (b) regarding the capital structure of Galaxy and on the representations and warranties of each Galaxy Stockholder in their respective Letters of Transmittal and Optionholder Release Agreements, as the case may be.

(e) Certain Adjustments. In the event that between the date of this Agreement and the First Effective Time, the outstanding Parent Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, consolidation or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of Parent Shares (including the number of Parent Shares included in the Closing Date Stock Merger Consideration and the number of Parent Shares subject to the Warrants) will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the Galaxy Stockholders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

2.2 Effect on Capital Stock of Subsequent Merger. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Subsequent Merger and without any action on the part of the Initial Surviving Corporation, the Final Surviving Company, Parent or the holder of any equity interests of the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Company, each share of Initial Surviving Corporation Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

2.3 Delivery of Estimates; Payout Spreadsheet; Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a) Not less than three Business Days prior to the Closing, Galaxy shall deliver to Parent a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth Galaxy’s (i) good faith estimate as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date of (A) Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), (B) Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), (C) Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”) and (D) Galaxy Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Galaxy Transaction Expenses”); provided, however, that if the Closing occurs after July 31, 2014, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, such good faith estimate of Net Working Capital, Cash and Indebtedness shall be as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on July 31, 2014 (if the Closing occurs after July 31, 2014, then 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on July 31, 2014 shall be referred to as the “Economic Closing”), and based thereon, (ii) calculation of (x) the Closing Date Class A Per Share Merger Consideration and (y) the Closing Date Class B Per Share Merger Consideration. The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Balance Sheet, and the example calculation set forth in Section 2.3 of the Parent Disclosure Schedules.

(b) In connection with delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, not less than three Business Days prior to the Closing, Galaxy shall deliver to Parent a spreadsheet (the “Payout Spreadsheet”) setting forth: (i) each holder of Galaxy Shares and Options as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time (each, a “Galaxy Stockholder”), addresses and e-mail addresses (to the extent available), the Galaxy Shares and Options held by each such Galaxy Stockholder, and the consideration to be paid to such Galaxy Stockholder in connection with the Closing (including the amount of Taxes to be withheld from such Galaxy Stockholder, if any) and with the value of Parent Shares and Warrants determined with reference to the Parent Average Trading Price and the Warrant Value, respectively, and (ii) each Galaxy Stockholder’s relative percentage interest in the Consideration Holdback Amount, which shall be equal to the percentage of the Closing Date Class B Merger Consideration that such Galaxy Stockholder is entitled to receive (such percentage with respect to each such Galaxy Stockholder, the “Percentage Interest”). Following such delivery of the Payout Spreadsheet, Galaxy shall promptly (and, in any event, prior to the Closing Date) notify Parent of any changes to the Payout Spreadsheet required as a result of a sale or transfer of Galaxy Shares or Options, or exercise of Options occurring after such delivery of the Payout Spreadsheet and prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in Galaxy’s certificate of incorporation, the Galaxy Stockholders Agreement or other document or Contract, Parent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the representations and warranties of Galaxy set forth herein with respect to amounts payable to equity holders of Galaxy pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) On or prior to November 15, 2014, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”), setting forth Parent’s determinations as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date or (with respect to Net Working Capital, Cash and Indebtedness) the Economic Closing, as the case may be of (i) Net Working Capital, (ii) Cash, (iii) Indebtedness and (iv) Galaxy Transaction Expenses, and, based thereon, a calculation of the Final Merger Consideration and the Final Per Share Merger Consideration; provided, however, if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or prior to November 1, 2014, then Parent shall deliver such Closing Statement to the Stockholder Representative within 10 Business Days after such Closing Date. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and GAAP, applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Balance Sheet, and the example calculation set forth in Section 2.3 of the Parent Disclosure Schedules. Following the Closing, Parent shall provide the Stockholder Representative and its representatives reasonable access to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) auditors of the Final Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and shall cause the personnel of the Final Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to reasonably cooperate with the Stockholder Representative in connection with its review of the Closing Statement.

(d) If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with Parent’s determinations of Net Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness and/or Galaxy Transaction Expenses, the Stockholder Representative may, within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver a written notice (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Parent setting forth the nature and amount of any disputed item. If Parent does not receive a Notice of Disagreement within 30 days after delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement and the calculations of Net Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness and Galaxy Transaction Expenses reflected therein shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes hereunder. If Parent receives a Notice of Disagreement from the Stockholder Representative within such 30-day period, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified therein. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative have not resolved all such matters as of the 30th day after delivery by the Stockholder Representative of the Notice of Disagreement, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall jointly retain BDO USA, LLP, or another firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants selected by mutual agreement of Parent and the Stockholder Representative with the parties having to act in good faith to make such selection as promptly as reasonably practicable (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve such remaining disagreements. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each disputed item and the amount of Net Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness and Galaxy Transaction Expenses as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date or (with respect to Net Working Capital, Cash and Indebtedness) the Economic Closing, as the case may be, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties for all purposes hereunder. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be authorized to resolve only those items remaining in dispute between the parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3(d) and such resolution shall be within the range of the difference between Parent’s position with respect thereto and the Stockholder Representative’s position with respect thereto. The Stockholder Representative and Parent shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to render a written decision resolving the matters submitted to it within 20 Business Days following the submission thereof. The costs of any dispute resolution pursuant to this Section 2.3(d), including the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm, shall be borne by the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Galaxy Stockholders) and Parent in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and disbursements of the agents, accountants and other advisors of each party incurred in connection with their preparation or review of the Closing Statement and preparation or review of any Notice of Disagreement, as applicable, shall be borne by such party. The Net Working Capital, Cash, Indebtedness and Galaxy Transaction Expenses as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.3 are referred to as the “Final Net Working Capital,” the “Final Cash,” the “Final Indebtedness,” and the “Final Galaxy Transaction Expenses” herein, and such amounts shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties for all purposes hereunder, and, for the avoidance of doubt, following the adjustment to the Closing Date Merger Consideration and related payments set forth in Section 2.3, neither Parent nor any Galaxy Stockholder shall have any further liability for any of the foregoing, absent fraud.

(e) The Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be adjusted, upwards or downwards, as follows:

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Net Adjustment Amount” means an amount, which may be greater or less than $0.00, equal to (A) the Final Cash minus the Estimated Cash, minus (B) the amount by which the Final Net Working Capital falls short of the Estimated Net Working Capital (if any), plus (C) the amount by which the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital (if any), plus (D) the Estimated Indebtedness minus the Final Indebtedness, plus (E) the Estimated Galaxy Transaction Expenses minus the Final Galaxy Transaction Expenses;

(ii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is greater than $0.00, the Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be adjusted upwards in an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount. Subject to Section 2.3(f), in such event, Parent shall pay the Net Adjustment Amount to the Stockholder Representative in cash within 5 Business Days after the date the Net Adjustment Amount is agreed to or otherwise finally determined for distribution to the Galaxy Stockholders based upon each such Galaxy Stockholder’s Percentage Interest; and

(iii) If the Net Adjustment Amount is less than $0.00 (in which case the “Net Adjustment Amount” for purposes of this clause (iii) shall be deemed to be equal to the absolute value of such amount), the Closing Date Merger Consideration shall be adjusted downward in an amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount. In such event, Parent shall retain a portion of the Adjustment Holdback Amount equal to the Net Adjustment Amount and shall pay the remaining portion of the Adjustment Holdback Amount, if any, to the Galaxy Stockholders in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests. If the Adjustment Holdback Amount is insufficient to cover the Net Adjustment Amount, then Parent shall retain the entire Adjustment Holdback Amount and, each Galaxy Stockholder, in accordance with each Galaxy Stockholder’s applicable Percentage Interest, shall (severally, but not jointly) pay the remaining portion of such Net Adjustment Amount to Parent in cash within 10 Business Days of the final determination thereof.

(f) Notwithstanding Section 2.3(e)(ii), if the payment of the Net Adjustment Amount in cash would cause the value of the aggregate Parent Shares to be received by the holders of Galaxy Shares (excluding any Galaxy Shares that are Option Shares described in Section 2.1(b)) (such holders of such Galaxy Shares, the “Holders of Galaxy Shares”) in respect of their Galaxy Shares (excluding any Galaxy Shares that are Option Shares described in Section 2.1(b)) (such Galaxy Shares, the “Holder Shares”) under this Agreement (excluding the value of the Parent Shares that constitute the Consideration Holdback Amount) to be less than forty percent (40%) of the value of the aggregate consideration paid, payable or deemed to be paid or payable to the Holders of Galaxy Shares in respect of their Holder Shares under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parent Shares, the Warrants, the Adjustment Holdback Amount, any positive Net Adjustment Amount, cash paid with respect to Dissenting Shares, cash paid in lieu of fractional Parent Shares, Stockholder Representative Expenses and any other expenses or liabilities of any Holder of Galaxy Shares that are paid or assumed by Parent (including any such expenses or liabilities included in Galaxy Transaction Expenses) and taking into account any negative Net Adjustment Amount or indemnification payments made by Holders of Galaxy Shares with respect to their Holder Shares) (such aggregate consideration, the “Aggregate Consideration”), then the Net Adjustment Amount shall be paid to the Galaxy Stockholders in Parent Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of this Section 2.3(f) and Sections 7.2(e) and 8.7(c), (i) the value of each Parent Share shall be deemed to be equal to the Parent Share Price, (ii) the value of each Warrant shall be determined by reference to the Warrant Value and (iii) the Aggregate Consideration shall be determined in a manner consistent with the foregoing. The intent of this Section 2.3(f) is to ensure that the “continuity of proprietary interest” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e) is met and shall be construed to effectuate such intent.

2.4 Exchange of Certificates; Payment Procedures.

(a) Letters of Transmittal. Each Galaxy Stockholder whose Galaxy Shares were converted into the right to receive the consideration described in Section 2.1(a)(iii) shall be required to deliver a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and that risk of loss and title to any certificates representing Galaxy Shares (the “Certificates”) shall pass, only upon proper delivery of such share certificates (or affidavits of loss in form and substance satisfactory to Parent related thereto) to Parent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Letter of Transmittal”)) prior to receiving any portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration.

(b) Closing Payments. On the Closing Date, Parent will deliver, or cause to be delivered, the following:

(i) to the payees thereof, subject to receipt of invoices, and in the amounts designated on the Estimated Closing Statement, the Estimated Galaxy Transaction Expenses;

(ii) to the payees thereof, subject to receipt of customary payoff letters (“Payoff Letters”), and in the amounts designated on the Estimated Closing Statement, the Estimated Indebtedness for borrowed money; and

(iii) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4(c), to the Galaxy Stockholders, the portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration to which such holders are entitled pursuant to the Payout Spreadsheet.

(c) Payment Procedures. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the First Effective Time, Galaxy shall deliver the form of Letter of Transmittal along with instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for payment therefor to each Galaxy Stockholder. Within two Business Days of surrender of a Certificate representing all Galaxy Shares held by any Galaxy Stockholder for cancelation (or delivery of an affidavit of loss related thereto) to Parent together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or, in the event that such second Business Day falls prior to the Closing Date, then at the Closing), the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Payout Spreadsheet and subject to adjustment as provided herein and any applicable withholding Taxes:

(i) by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds (at the option of each holder of such Certificate that specifies such preference in writing in such Letter of Transmittal), that portion of the Closing Date Cash Merger Consideration (together with any cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 2.4(g)) to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Payout Spreadsheet;

(ii) a stock certificate or direct registration statement evidencing such holder’s ownership, in whole shares, of that portion of the Closing Date Stock Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Payout Spreadsheet; and

(iii) a warrant, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “Form of Warrant”), with respect to that portion of the Warrant Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the Payout Spreadsheet.

(d) Payment to Persons Other than Record Holder. If payment of the Closing Date Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered on the stock transfer books of Galaxy, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed in blank or to Parent or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have signed the Letter of Transmittal and paid all transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Closing Date Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable.

(e) Treatment of Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Shares with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate with respect to the Parent Shares deliverable upon surrender thereof, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 2.4(g), until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Article II. Subject to escheat or other applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate, there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, the portion of the Closing Date Merger Consideration to which such Galaxy Stockholder is entitled pursuant to the Payout Spreadsheet (including any cash payable in lieu of a fractional Parent Share that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.4(g) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such number of whole Parent Shares that such holder has the right to receive).

(f) No Further Ownership Rights in Galaxy Shares. The Final Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any Galaxy Shares and Options shall be deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Galaxy Shares and Options. Until properly surrendered or canceled, each Certificate shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence only the right to receive the portion of the Final Merger Consideration payable in exchange for Galaxy Shares and Options held by such Galaxy Stockholder, pursuant to this Agreement. The Galaxy Stockholders shall not be entitled to receive any portion of the Final Merger Consideration to which they would otherwise be entitled until their respective Letters of Transmittal (with all other documentation required to be delivered pursuant thereto) and Certificates (or affidavits of loss with respect thereto) are properly delivered and surrendered in accordance with this Agreement. The stock transfer books of Galaxy shall be closed with respect to all Galaxy Shares outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. From and after the First Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Initial Surviving Corporation of Galaxy Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Galaxy Shares or any Options are presented to Parent or the Initial Surviving Corporation for any reason, such Certificates shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

(g) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Parent Shares shall be issued in connection with the Initial Merger, no certificates or scrip representing fractional Parent Shares shall be delivered upon the conversion of Galaxy Shares or Options pursuant to Section 2.1, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of Parent Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Galaxy Shares or Options converted pursuant to the Initial Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Share (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates or Options delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof and upon surrender thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the Parent Average Trading Price.

(h) No Liability. None of Galaxy, Parent, Merger Sub, the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Company shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Final Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(i) Withholding Rights. Each of Galaxy, Parent, the Initial Surviving Corporation, the Final Surviving Company and the Stockholder Representative (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax Law; provided, that no amounts shall be deducted or withheld from the payment of Closing Date Merger Consideration (or any adjustment thereto) to any Galaxy Stockholder (other than with respect to any compensatory payments to any such holder) so long as the certificate described in Section 7.3(e) is delivered to Parent. Any amounts so deducted and withheld shall be timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and provision of a customary indemnity from such Person, Parent shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the portion of the Final Merger Consideration to which such Person is entitled pursuant to the Payout Spreadsheet. The parties acknowledge and agree that execution of the form of Certificate of Loss set forth in Annex A to the Letter of Transmittal shall be a sufficient affidavit and indemnity for purposes of the foregoing sentence.

2.5 Further Assurances. If, at any time before or after the First Effective Time, Galaxy or Parent reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Mergers or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the First Effective Time, then Galaxy, Merger Sub, Parent, the Initial Surviving Corporation and the Final Surviving Company and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such proper instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary or desirable to consummate the Mergers and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

2.6 Stockholder Representative.

(a) Immediately upon the approval of this Agreement pursuant to the Galaxy Stockholder Consent, each Galaxy Stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to the appointment of the Stockholder Representative as such Galaxy Stockholder’s representative and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution to act on behalf of the Galaxy Stockholders on or after the Closing Date (and, to the extent expressly provided herein (including Section 5.3) prior to the Closing Date) to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative shall have no obligation to act, except as expressly provided herein. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Closing Date, Galaxy may act as the Galaxy Stockholders’ representative to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Agreement. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Stockholder Representative) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons. The Stockholder Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the functions assigned to it under this Agreement, the Form of Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement, and, in carrying out such functions, the Stockholder Representative shall only consider the interests of the Galaxy Stockholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have full power, authority and discretion to (i) estimate and determine the amounts of Stockholder Representative Expenses and to pay such Stockholder Representative Expenses in accordance with Section 2.6(d), (ii) after the Closing, negotiate and enter into amendments to this Agreement for and on behalf of the Galaxy Stockholders, (iii) in connection with a termination of this Agreement, determine the Holder Damages, if any, in accordance with Section 9.6 and (iv) address claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a). Neither Galaxy nor the Stockholder Representative shall amend or knowingly waive any term of this Agreement in a manner that disproportionately affects any Galaxy Stockholder relative to any other Galaxy Stockholder without the written consent of such Galaxy Stockholder; provided, however, that none of the following facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be “disproportionally affecting” any Galaxy Stockholder: (A) effects resulting from the holders of the Galaxy Class A Common Stock receiving the Aggregate Class A Liquidation Preference, (B) effects resulting from any price paid for Options being subject to reduction for the applicable exercise price or (C) Carlyle receiving a right to appoint members of the Parent Board or any other governance rights (including board observer rights) even if not offered to the other Galaxy Stockholders. All decisions, actions, consents and instructions by the Stockholder Representative made in accordance with this Section 2.6 shall be binding upon all of the Galaxy Stockholders, and no Galaxy Stockholder shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. Parent and Merger Sub shall not have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the authority of the Stockholder Representative or any such decision, action, consent or instruction. Parent, Merger Sub and each other party shall be entitled to rely conclusively on any decision, action, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative as being the decision, action, consent or instruction of the Galaxy Stockholders, and Parent and Merger Sub are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for acts done by them in accordance with any such decision, act, consent or instruction. Each of Parent, Merger Sub, the Initial Surviving Corporation and the Final Surviving Company hereby waives, and by their approval of this Agreement, the Galaxy Stockholders shall be deemed to have waived, any claims they may have or assert, including those that may arise in the future, against the Stockholder Representative for any action or inaction taken or not taken by the Stockholder Representative in connection with such Person’s capacity as the Stockholder Representative except to the extent that such action or inaction shall have been held by a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall direct that any amounts to be paid to the Galaxy Stockholders (other than holders of Dissenting Shares) after Closing under this Agreement be delivered to the Galaxy Stockholders (other than holders of Dissenting Shares) based on each Galaxy Stockholder’s Percentage Interest in such amount. The Stockholder Representative shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Galaxy Stockholders of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in the performance of its duties hereunder including, without limitation, those resulting from the employment of financial advisors, attorneys, auditors and other advisors and agents assisting in the assessment of arbitration, litigation and settlement of any disputes arising under this Agreement, including any disagreements pursuant to Section 2.3(d), and shall be entitled to indemnification from the Galaxy Stockholders against any loss, liability or expenses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative (except for those arising out of the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), including the costs and expenses of investigation and defense of claims.

(b) The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time, and may be removed for any reason or no reason by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the Galaxy Shares, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. In the event of the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative, a new Stockholder Representative shall be appointed by the vote or written consent of holders of a majority of the Galaxy Shares, as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time. Notice of such vote or a copy of the written consent appointing such new Stockholder Representative shall be sent to Parent, such appointment to be effective upon the later of the date indicated in such consent or the date such consent is received by Parent.

(c) The approval of this Agreement by the requisite vote or written consent of Galaxy Stockholders shall also be deemed to constitute approval of all arrangements relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and to the provisions hereof binding upon the Galaxy Stockholders.

(d) Not less than three Business Days prior to the Closing in conjunction with the delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, the Stockholder Representative shall provide to Parent a written estimate (which estimate shall include such reserves as the Stockholder Representative determines in good faith to be appropriate for any Stockholder Representative Expenses that are not then known or determinable) of the aggregate amount of the fees and expenses incurred, or that may in the future be incurred, by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Galaxy Stockholders in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise in its capacity as the Stockholder Representative (the “Stockholder Representative Expenses”), all of which such amounts shall be deducted from the Closing Date Merger Consideration otherwise payable to Galaxy Stockholders in accordance with the definition of “Closing Date Merger Consideration.” On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay to the Stockholder Representative or to such other Persons (and in such amounts) as may be designated by the Stockholder Representative, by wire transfer to an account or accounts designated by the Stockholder Representative in writing at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, immediately available funds in the amount of such estimated Stockholder Representative Expenses. Whether or not paid on or prior to the Closing Date, to avoid duplication, no liabilities for the Stockholder Representative Expenses shall be considered Indebtedness, Galaxy Transaction Expenses or a current liability for purposes of the calculation of Net Working Capital. In the event that the Stockholder Representative determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the funds paid to the Stockholder Representative pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) exceed the Stockholder Representative Expenses, the Stockholder Representative shall disburse (or otherwise cause such excess amount to be disbursed) to the Galaxy Stockholders as Final Merger Consideration; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall such excess amount become payable to Parent.

5.5 No Solicitation.

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement), Galaxy and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly through any officer, director, employee, representative or agent of Galaxy or its Subsidiaries or otherwise: (i) solicit, initiate, or encourage any inquiries or proposals that constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a proposal or offer for a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale or license of all or any part of its assets (other than immaterial assets that are not Galaxy Owned IP and other than licenses in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), sale of shares of capital stock or similar transactions involving Galaxy or any of its Subsidiaries other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any of the foregoing inquiries or proposals, a “Galaxy Acquisition Proposal”); (ii) engage or participate in negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide any non-public information to any Person or entity relating to, any Galaxy Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) agree to, enter into, accept, approve or recommend any Galaxy Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Galaxy shall notify Parent as promptly as possible (and no later than 24 hours) after receipt by Galaxy (or its advisors) of any Galaxy Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information in connection with a Galaxy Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of Galaxy by any Person or entity that informs Galaxy (or its advisors) that it is considering making, or has made, a Galaxy Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall be made in writing and shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the offeror and the terms and conditions of such proposal, inquiry or contact, each to the extent then known by Galaxy.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date (or the earlier termination of this Agreement), Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not, directly or indirectly through any officer, director, employee, representative or agent of Parent or its Subsidiaries or otherwise: (i) solicit, initiate, or encourage any inquiries or proposals that constitute, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a proposal or offer for a merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, sale or license of all or substantially all of its assets taken as a whole (other than licenses in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), or any direct or indirect acquisition of beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the equity securities of Parent other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any of the foregoing inquiries or proposals, a “Parent Acquisition Proposal”); (ii) engage or participate in negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide any non-public information to any Person or entity relating to, any Parent Acquisition Proposal; or (iii) agree to, enter into, accept, approve or recommend any Parent Acquisition Proposal; provided, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit or restrict Parent from undertaking any acquisition (including an acquisition pursuant to which consideration is paid using Parent Shares) that would not be prohibited by Section 5.3(d).

5.6 Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, as promptly as practicable, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the Closing Date on the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments. In the event that all conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments have been satisfied, Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders party thereto and the other Persons providing such Financing to fund the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date. Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub may replace or amend the Financing Commitments; provided, that such replacement or amendment would not (i) impose new or additional material conditions, or otherwise expand any conditions in any material respects, to the receipt of the Financing, (ii) reasonably be expected to prevent, or materially delay or impair, the availability of the Financing or (iii) adversely impact the ability of Parent, LLC Sub and/or Merger Sub to timely consummate the Merger; provided, however, that Parent, LLC Sub and/or Merger Sub may, without the prior written approval of Galaxy, permit the reduction of the aggregate amount of the Financing Commitments if Parent, LLC Sub and/or Merger Sub also obtains from alternative sources commitments in the aggregate amount of at least such reduction with terms and conditions that will not, taken as a whole, result in a decrease in the likelihood that such commitments from alternative sources will be available on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 5.6, references to “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments as replaced, amended or modified, and references to “Financing Commitments” shall include such documents as replaced, amended or modified. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to replacements or amendments permitted hereby, Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments until the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, (ii) satisfy all conditions and covenants applicable to Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub in the Financing Commitments at or prior to Closing and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder, (iii) enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Financing Commitments and (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing. If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated in the Financing Commitments, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from alternative sources, in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event. Parent shall provide Galaxy with prompt written notice of any material breach by any party to the Financing Commitments (or commitments for any alternative financing obtained in accordance with this Section 5.6) of which Parent becomes aware or any termination of a Financing Commitment (or commitment for any alternative financing obtained in accordance with this Section 5.6) and provide to Galaxy copies of all material documents related to the Financing (or alternative financing obtained in connection with this Section 5.6). Parent shall keep Galaxy informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or alternative financing obtained in accordance with this Section 5.6). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Stockholder Representative and Galaxy acknowledge and agree that they (i) derive no contractual rights, whether as third party beneficiary or otherwise, under the Financing Commitments or any financing document related to the Financing and shall not be entitled to enforce any such Financing Commitment or document against any agent, arranger, bookrunner, lender, letter of credit issuer or other financing party that is a party to any such commitment letter or document (including, without limitation, GSO Capital Partners LP, Bank of America, N.A. and their respective affiliates) (collectively, the “Lender Group”) and (ii) waive any claim (including, without limitation, any claim under contract, any claim in tort and any claim for specific performance) it may have against any member of the Lender Group with respect to the failure of the Financing to close; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall prevent the Stockholder Representative and/or Galaxy from enforcing any of the terms of this Agreement against the Parent, LLC Sub and Merger Sub.

(b) Prior to the Closing, Galaxy shall use reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent and Merger Sub, at Parent’s request (with reasonable prior notice) and sole cost and expense, all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Financing, including by using reasonable best efforts in (i) furnishing Parent and Merger Sub and their lenders the financial statements required under the Financing Commitments (the “Required Financial Information”), (ii) causing executive officers and representatives of Galaxy to participate in a reasonable number of meetings (including customary one-on-one meetings with the parties acting as lead arrangers or agents for, and prospective lenders and purchasers of, the Financing and the executive officers of Galaxy and other members of senior management and representatives of Galaxy), presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Financing, (iii) assisting Parent and its lenders in the preparation of customary offering memoranda, bank information memoranda, rating agency presentations, lender presentations and similar documents relating to the Financing, (iv) providing reasonable cooperation with the marketing efforts of Parent and its lenders for all or any portion of the Financing, (v) providing customary authorization letters authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders, (vi) providing all relevant information reasonably requested with respect to the assets of Galaxy and its Subsidiaries that will serve as collateral for the Financing and providing reasonable access to Parent and its lenders, during normal working hours and upon reasonable notice, to allow them to conduct audit examinations and appraisals with respect to such collateral, (vii) seeking to cause its auditors to provide reasonable assistance to Parent consistent with their customary practice (including to provide and consent to the use of their audit reports relating to the consolidated financial statements of Galaxy and its Subsidiaries), (viii) providing all documentation and other information required by regulatory authorities with respect to Galaxy and its Subsidiaries under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, as amended, (ix) seeking to arrange for customary payoff letters, lien terminations and instruments of discharge to be delivered at Closing providing for the payoff, discharge and termination on the Closing Date of all Indebtedness contemplated by the Financing Commitment to be paid off, discharged and terminated at Closing, and (x) providing all cooperation that is reasonable and customary to satisfy the conditions precedent to the Financing Commitments or any financing documents relating thereto to the extent the satisfaction of such conditions requires the reasonable and customary cooperation of, or is within the control of, Galaxy and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that, irrespective of the above, (A) no obligation of Galaxy or any of its Subsidiaries under any certificate, document or instrument shall be effective until the First Effective Time; (B) no Person that is a director of Galaxy or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action in such capacity with respect to the Financing (or alternative financing sought in accordance with this Section 5.6) prior to the Closing, and (C) neither Galaxy nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide any such assistance to the extent it (x) materially and unreasonably interferes with its business operations or (y) causes any condition to the Closing to fail to be satisfied. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Financing (or alternative financing sought in accordance with this Section 5.6) has not been obtained, Parent and Merger Sub shall continue to be obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement subject only to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VII.

(c) None of Galaxy or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment in connection with the Financing prior to the First Effective Time. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless Galaxy and its Subsidiaries from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred in connection with the arrangement of Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than historical information relating to Galaxy or its Subsidiaries provided by Galaxy in writing specifically for use in the Financing offering documents). Galaxy hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided, that such logos are used in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm or disparage Galaxy, any of its Subsidiaries or their marks, or the reputation or goodwill of Galaxy or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.7 Tax Matters

(a) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Parent and the Galaxy Stockholders shall share equally all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added or other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Mergers. Parent shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the Galaxy Stockholders will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.

(b) Intended Tax Treatment. Galaxy, Parent, Merger Sub and LLC Sub hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, file all Tax Returns and other reports and determine all Taxes consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment, unless required to do otherwise pursuant to a final determination as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code (or pursuant to any similar provision of applicable state, local or non-U.S. law). Each of the parties further agrees to promptly notify the other party of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Entity.

5.8 Termination of Certain Agreements. At or prior to the First Effective Time, Galaxy shall take all actions necessary to cause any tax sharing agreement or any stockholders agreement, including the Galaxy Stockholders Agreement, voting agreement, investor rights agreement or similar agreements to which it is a party with any Galaxy Stockholders or with respect to the Galaxy Shares, and any management, advisory or consulting agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not any agreement set forth in item 1 and items 6 to 11 of Section 3.19 of the Galaxy Disclosure Schedules) with any Galaxy Stockholder, to be terminated as of the First Effective Time without any further liability or obligation on the part of Galaxy or any of its Subsidiaries.

5.9 Governance Matters. The Parent Board shall, effective at the Second Effective Time, appoint ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ as a director of Parent to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and to serve as a Class II Director thereof until the earlier of his resignation or removal or until his successor is duly elected and qualified.

(iii) For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Galaxy waives in writing the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(f), Parent shall have no further obligations under this Section 6.1(a) with respect to the Form S-4 or registration or listing of the Parent Shares, Warrants or Parent Shares underlying the Warrants through the Closing; provided, that the Registration Rights Agreement shall be fully effective from and after the Closing.

Parent and its Representatives shall commence preparation of the Form S-3 promptly following the date hereof (and in any event within 10 Business Days) and shall use reasonable best efforts to file the Form S-3 within five Business Days (but in no event earlier than the Closing Date) of receipt of such financial statements, financial data and other pertinent information regarding Galaxy and its Subsidiaries of the type required by SEC Regulation S-X and SEC Regulation S-K under the Securities Act (including pro forma financial information) for registered offerings of securities that are sufficiently current to permit a registration statement using such financial statements to be declared effective by the SEC. The terms and conditions of the Registration Rights Agreement shall apply to such Form S-3 as if such Form S-3 was prepared and filed as a Demand Registration (as such term is defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the provisions thereunder relating to priorities in registration, registration expenses and indemnification (without counting towards the maximum number of Demand Registrations described in the Registration Rights Agreement). Galaxy shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent all financial statements, financial data, related material (including appropriate management’s discussion and analysis) and other information regarding Galaxy and any predecessor thereto, sufficient in form and content to allow compliance with the requirements of Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act and the requirements of the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board of a type, as is required to be included in the Form S-3 pursuant to the Securities Act and regulations promulgated thereunder (and including, with respect to any audited financial statements, the report of Galaxy’s auditors thereon).

Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Law, Galaxy shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and its representatives, and Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to Galaxy and its representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours in the period prior to the Closing Date to all of its properties, books, Contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, each such party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to such other party and its representatives such information concerning its business, properties and personnel as such other party may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither party shall be required to provide access to or make available to any Person any document or information that is the subject of any confidentiality agreement with any third party (provided, that the withholding party uses reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure) or subject to any attorney-client or work-product privilege (provided, that the withholding party will use reasonable efforts to allow such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in loss or waiver of such privilege). All information furnished pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be subject to the confidentiality agreement, dated as of May 16, 2014, between Galaxy and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”). No investigation pursuant to this Section 6.2 or information provided, made available or delivered to either such party pursuant to this Section 6.2 or otherwise shall affect any representations or warranties of any party to this Agreement or conditions or rights of such parties contained in this Agreement.

Each of Parent and Galaxy shall substantially comply with any request or demand for the production, delivery or disclosure of documents or other evidence, or any request or demand for the production of witnesses for interviews or depositions or other oral or written testimony, by an Antitrust Authority relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or by any third party challenging the transactions contemplated hereby, including any so called “second request” for additional information or documentary material or any civil investigative demand made or issued by an Antitrust Authority or any subpoena, interrogatory or deposition.

Each party agrees to provide the other party and its counsel the opportunity, on reasonable advance notice, to participate in any substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, between such party and/or any of its Affiliates, agents or advisors, on the one hand, and any Governmental Entity, on the other hand, concerning or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Parent shall give prompt notice to Galaxy, and Galaxy shall give prompt notice to Parent, of (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement that is qualified as to materiality becoming untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any such representation or warranty that is not so qualified becoming untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or (ii) the failure by it to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification (or failure to give such notification) shall affect or be deemed to modify the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the parties or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereunder, any Person indemnified hereunder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to first seek recovery to the extent a claim may be made under the “tail” insurance policy obtained pursuant to Section 6.4(b).

(b) Galaxy shall obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of Galaxy than the terms of such current insurance coverage, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(c) Effective as of the Closing, Parent agrees not to and to not permit any of its Subsidiaries to bring any action asserting, any breach of fiduciary duty or any breach of any other duty owed to Galaxy or any of its Subsidiaries against any former director, officer, employee, partner, stockholder, or other representative or Affiliate of Galaxy, whether such action is filed derivatively on behalf of Galaxy or otherwise, except with respect to employees to the extent necessary to recover any losses incurred by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of such claim against any such employee to the extent not recoverable from any third party insurance or otherwise.

Immediately following (and in any event within one hour, and prior to any public announcement, of) the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall deliver to Galaxy the written consents in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B signed by the holders of Parent Shares specified thereon and in any event sufficient to constitute the Parent Stockholder Approval, in accordance with the DGCL and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Parent, including a written certification of the secretary of Parent or an independent inspector in accordance with Section 17(C) of Article II of such bylaws (the “Parent Written Consent”).

(b) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Galaxy shall furnish to Parent (1) such reports, financial or operating data as Parent may reasonably request, including information regarding weekly cash payments and receipts, together with reasonable supporting details, a schedule of adjustments to revenues following quarter end and interim reports received from licensees, and (2) no later than 30 days following the end of the applicable quarter, a draft of quarterly financial statements which will be finalized no later than 45 days following the end of the applicable quarter; provided in each case, nothing herein shall require Galaxy to prepare any additional information or financial reports that are not otherwise prepared or obtained in the ordinary course of its business.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Survival. Except as set forth in this Section 8.1, none of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing, other than those covenants or agreements of the parties which by their terms apply, or are to be performed in whole or in part, after the Second Effective Time which shall survive in accordance with their respective terms; provided, however, that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1, Section 3.2, Section 3.3, Section 3.21, Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Section 4.3 and Section 4.20 shall survive until the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date, and (b) any claims in the case of fraud shall survive against the party committing such fraud until the date that is 36 months following the Closing Date. Following the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, no claim (other than a claim in the case of fraud) may be initiated against any Galaxy Stockholder hereunder.

8.2 Indemnification by Galaxy Stockholders. Effective following the Closing Date, each of the Galaxy Stockholders, severally but not jointly, shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates (including the Initial Surviving Corporation and the Final Surviving Company), officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”) to the extent arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Galaxy contained in this Agreement that survives the Closing in accordance with Section 8.1(a), (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement requiring action after the Closing by such Galaxy Stockholder contained in this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered in connection herewith, and (c) if Galaxy does not deliver a Galaxy Stockholder Consent signed by the holders of Galaxy Shares who hold in excess of the Form S–4 Percentage in accordance with Section 6.1(b), any claims and actions relating to Dissenting Shares.

8.3 Indemnification by Parent. Effective following the Closing Date, Parent shall save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Galaxy Stockholders as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time and their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Galaxy Indemnified Parties” and, together with the Parent Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses to the extent arising out of or resulting from (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub contained in this Agreement that survives the Closing in accordance with Section 8.1(a), and (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement requiring action after the Closing of Parent, LLC Sub, Merger Sub or the Final Surviving Company contained in this Agreement or any instrument or document delivered in connection herewith.

8.4 Procedures.

(a) In order for an Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement as a result of a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), a Parent Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of the Galaxy Stockholders, or a Galaxy Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the Parent, as the case may be (the Stockholder Representative or the Parent, as the case may be, the “Indemnifying Party”), in each case, promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of their obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Indemnified Party’s counsel determines that an actual or potential conflict of interest exists as between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay for the reasonable costs and expenses of one counsel for the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms (i) obligates the Parent or the Galaxy Stockholders, as the case may be, to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such Third Party Claim, (ii) which releases the Indemnified Party completely in connection with such Third Party Claim and (iii) which does not include any equitable relief or admission of wrongdoing or criminal liability. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against Parent or any Galaxy Stockholder hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim promptly to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Parent or the Galaxy Stockholders, as the case may be, from any of their obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Parent or the Galaxy Stockholders, as the case may be, are actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters.

(d) If any payment is made on a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and shall be entitled to pursue recovery against the applicable insurers or other Persons in respect of such benefits or other claims.

8.5 Limitations on Indemnification Liability.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any claims an Indemnified Party makes under this Article VIII will be limited as follows:

(a) Damages Net of Insurance Proceeds and Other Third-Party Recoveries. All Losses for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds, indemnification payments and other third-party recoveries actually received by such Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party, in each case net of any expenses, co-pays, deductibles, retro-premium adjustments and any increases in premiums that are attributable to the payment of such amounts. In the event any Indemnified Party is entitled to any insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or any third-party recoveries in respect of any Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, receive or realize such proceeds, payments or recoveries; provided, that the failure to actually obtain, receive or realize such proceeds, payments or recoveries shall not limit any Indemnified Party’s right to recovery hereunder. In the event that any such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries are actually received by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other third-party recoveries relate, appropriate refunds (in each case net of net of any expenses, co-pays, deductibles, retro-premium adjustments and any increases in premiums that are attributable to the payment of such amounts) shall be made promptly by the relevant Indemnified Parties of all or the relevant portion of such indemnification payment.

(b) Consequential, Punitive and Certain Other Damages. No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for any special, punitive, lost profits, consequential or exemplary damages, except, in each case, to the extent such damages are actually awarded against the Indemnified Party to an unaffiliated third party in connection with a Third Party Claim.

(c) Mitigation of Damages. An Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Losses for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII; provided, that the failure to actually mitigate any such Losses shall not limit any Indemnified Party’s right to recovery hereunder. The party required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII shall have the right, but not the obligation, and shall be afforded the opportunity by the Indemnified Party to the extent reasonably possible, to take all available steps, at its sole cost and expense, to minimize Losses for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification before such Losses actually are incurred by the Indemnified Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parent Indemnified Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to seek recovery to the extent a claim may be made under the Prior Purchase Agreement prior to doing so hereunder; provided, that the failure to actually obtain such recovery under the Prior Purchase Agreement shall not limit any Parent Indemnified Party’s right to recovery hereunder.

8.6 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, except in the case of fraud, this Article VIII will provide the exclusive remedy for any and all claims under this Agreement, any Letter of Transmittal, and any Optionholder Release Agreement, except with respect to matters for which the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief are available or for the rights and obligations of the parties under Section 2.3, which shall be governed by Section 2.3.

8.7 Holdback Amount.

(a) The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in Section 2.3(e)(iii) and Section 8.7(c), the Consideration Holdback Amount is intended to be the first source of recovery for any payments or indemnities to be made by the Galaxy Stockholders hereunder, including with respect to any claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII; provided, that only the Parent Shares that constitute the Consideration Holdback Amount applicable to any given Galaxy Stockholder will be available to satisfy indemnification claims against such particular Galaxy Stockholder. Parent hereby agrees that it shall first seek a remedy for any Losses subject to indemnification by a given Galaxy Stockholder hereunder by first retaining Parent Shares (with the value of such Parent Shares determined with reference to the Parent Average Trading Price) held in the Consideration Holdback Amount, to the extent of the amount then held in the Consideration Holdback Amount with respect to such Galaxy Stockholder. To the extent any amounts payable by the Galaxy Stockholders hereunder, including any Losses arising out of any indemnification claim of any Indemnified Party hereunder (but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.5), exceed the amount then held in the Consideration Holdback Amount (such Losses, the “Excess Losses”), Parent and the other Indemnified Parties may seek to recover the amount of the Excess Losses directly from the Galaxy Stockholders, who shall be severally but not jointly liable for its, his or her pro rata portion of the Excess Losses in accordance with its, his or her respective Percentage Interest; provided, that in no event shall any Galaxy Stockholder be liable for Losses in excess of the value of the portion of the Final Merger Consideration actually received by such Galaxy Stockholder; provided, further, that, subject to Section 8.7(c), each such Galaxy Stockholder shall have the option to pay such portion of the Excess Losses for a claim made under Section 8.2(a) in cash or by delivering to Parent an amount of Parent Shares with a value equal to such portion (with the value of such Parent Shares determined with reference to the Parent Average Trading Price).

(b) On the 18 month anniversary of the Closing Date, any Parent Shares remaining in the Consideration Holdback Amount shall be released to the Galaxy Stockholders, with the amount to be released to a given Galaxy Stockholder to be equal to the difference between (x) such Galaxy Stockholder’s pro rata interest in the Consideration Holdback Amount as determined by its or his respective Percentage Interests, less (y) any Parent Shares released to Parent as a result of one or more claims against such Galaxy Stockholder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Parent Shares delivered by a Holder of Galaxy Shares pursuant to the last proviso in Section 8.7(a) to satisfy any payment obligations of the Holders of Galaxy Shares hereunder in respect of their Holder Shares would result in the value of the aggregate Parent Shares to be received by the Holders of Galaxy Shares in respect of their Holder Shares under this Agreement (excluding the value of Parent Shares that constitute the Consideration Holdback Amount) to be less than forty percent (40%) of the Aggregate Consideration (determined in a manner consistent with Section 2.3(f)), then the Holders of Galaxy Shares shall pay to Parent any such amounts in cash in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests in respect of their Holder Shares, and, if applicable, Parent shall release an equivalent value of Parent Shares included in the Consideration Holdback Amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement such that, after such payment and, if applicable, release, the value of the Parent Shares received by the Holders of Galaxy Shares in respect of their Holder Shares pursuant to this Agreement is equal to forty percent (40%) of the Aggregate Consideration (determined in a manner consistent with Section 2.3(f)). The intent of this Section 8.7(c) is to ensure that the “continuity of proprietary interest” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e) is met and shall be construed to effectuate such intent.

8.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Merger Consideration by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the First Effective Time, by action taken or authorized by the board of directors of the terminating party or parties:

(a) by mutual written consent of Galaxy and Parent;

(b) by either Galaxy or Parent, if any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued a final and nonappealable Order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) if such party’s or its Subsidiaries’ (as applicable) breach of its obligations under this Agreement proximately contributed to the occurrence of such Order;

(c) by either Galaxy or Parent, if the Initial Merger shall not have been consummated on or before December 31, 2014, subject to extension by the mutual agreement of Galaxy and Parent (the “End Date”); provided, however, that no party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if such party’s or its Subsidiaries’ (as applicable) breach of its obligations under this Agreement proximately contributed to the failure of the Closing to occur by the End Date;

(d) by Galaxy, if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of Parent, LLC Sub or Merger Sub, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or (b), unless such failure is reasonably capable of being cured, and Parent is continuing to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such failure, within the thirty days following such breach and written notice from Galaxy thereof;

(e) by Parent, if there shall have been a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any inaccuracy of any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of Galaxy, which breach or inaccuracy, either individually or in the aggregate, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Closing Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or (b), unless such failure is reasonably capable of being cured, and Galaxy is continuing to use its reasonable best efforts to cure such failure, within the thirty days following such breach and written notice from Parent thereof;

(f) by Parent if the Galaxy Stockholder Consent shall not have been delivered to Parent within twenty-four hours after execution of this Agreement;

(g) by Galaxy if the Parent Written Consent shall not have been delivered to Galaxy within twenty-four hours after execution of this Agreement; or

(h) by Galaxy if (i) all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing), (ii) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within two Business Days following the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 1.2 and (iii) Galaxy has delivered an irrevocable notice that it is ready, willing and able to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on such date.

9.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Galaxy or Parent in accordance with Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, and none of Galaxy, Merger Sub, Parent, any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of the officers or directors of any of the foregoing shall have any liability of any nature whatsoever under this Agreement, or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that Sections 3.21, 4.20, 9.2, 9.5 and 9.6, and Article X shall survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that subject to Section 9.5, nothing contained in this Section 9.2 shall relieve (i) any party hereto from any liability for any willful breach of this Agreement or (ii) any liability to pay the Parent Fee. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms. In the event of termination of this Agreement, Parent shall return any Certificates that were previously surrendered by any Galaxy Stockholder.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(h) or if the conditions described in Section 9.1(h) have been met and the Stockholder Representative delivers written notice to Parent and Galaxy is not then seeking specific performance or has agreed to dismiss, with prejudice, any pending claim for specific performance conditioned only upon receipt of the Parent Fee, then Parent shall promptly, but in no event later than two business days after the date of such termination, pay or cause to be paid to Galaxy (subject to Section 9.6) an amount equal to $16,000,000 (such amount, the “Parent Fee”) without any offset or reduction of any kind by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts specified by Galaxy in writing to Parent; provided, that in the event any portion of the Parent Fee constitutes Holder Damages, Galaxy will provide separate accounts for the receipt of such portion, as directed by the Stockholder Representative (it being understood that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Fee on more than one occasion). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Fee on more than one occasion at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events. So long as this Agreement shall not have been terminated, Galaxy shall be entitled to pursue both a grant of specific performance under Section 10.9 and the payment of the Parent Fee under Section 9.2(b), but under no circumstances shall Galaxy be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance under Section 10.9 and payment of the Parent Fee.

9.3 Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable Law and the next sentence, this Agreement may be amended by Galaxy, Merger Sub and Parent, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors, at any time before or after the Galaxy Stockholder Consent or the Parent Written Consent is obtained; provided, however, that after the Galaxy Stockholder Consent and/or Parent Written Consent has been obtained, there may not be, without further approval of the Galaxy Stockholders or stockholders of Parent, as applicable, any amendment of this Agreement which by applicable Law otherwise requires the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties (including the Stockholder Representative).

9.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the First Effective Time, Galaxy and Parent (on behalf of itself, LLC Sub and Merger Sub) may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Following the Closing, the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of itself and the other Galaxy Stockholders) and Parent (on behalf of itself and the Final Surviving Company) may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed by an authorized officer on behalf of such party, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

9.5 Parent Fee; Damages Limitation. In the event that Parent shall be obligated to pay the Parent Fee, and without limiting the terms set forth in the last sentence of this Section 9.5, the payment of the Parent Fee shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and the sole and exclusive remedy of Galaxy and any other Person in connection with this Agreement against Parent and its former, current or future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, stockholders, Subsidiaries, Affiliates or assignees and any and all former, current or future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, stockholders, Affiliates or assignees of any of the foregoing, and any and all former, current or future heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing, and any potential source of Financing (including each party to the Financing Commitments) and each Affiliate, officer, director, employee, controlling person, advisor, agent, attorney or representatives of any such Person (each, a “Parent Related Party,” and collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”), and no Parent Related Party shall have any other liability or obligation for any or all Losses suffered or incurred by Galaxy or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and neither Galaxy nor any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against Parent or any other Parent Related Party arising out of this Agreement or any Financing Commitment, or any of the transactions or any matters forming the basis for such termination. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 9.5 are an integral part of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing, upon any such termination of this Agreement the right to such payment 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). Without limiting the foregoing, but without limitation of the rights of Galaxy in respect of specific performance pursuant to Section 10.9 and any rights under the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that in the event that this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(h) and the Parent Fee is paid within the two day period specified in Section 9.2(b), then, the maximum aggregate liability of Parent and any other Parent Related Party under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of the Parent Fee, and in no event shall Galaxy or any other Person seek to recover any money damages in excess of such amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Parent becomes obligated to pay the Parent Fee, Parent shall additionally pay to Galaxy (A) interest on the amount of such Parent Fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the per annum rate equal to eight percent (8%) and (B) if, in order to obtain such payment, Galaxy commences a suit for payment of such Parent Fee that results in a judgment against Parent, Parent shall reimburse Galaxy for its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Fee on more than one occasion at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events. So long as this Agreement shall not have been terminated, Galaxy shall be entitled to pursue both a grant of specific performance under Section 10.9 and the payment of the Parent Fee under Section 9.2(b), but under no circumstances shall Galaxy be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance under Section 10.9 and payment of the Parent Fee.

9.6 Entitlement to Damages.

(a) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, in the event of a termination of this Agreement, to the extent Parent is required to pay damages or the Parent Fee in an amount that exceeds Galaxy’s expenses or out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any disputes related thereto, such excess (the “Holder Damages”) represents an amount of damages payable in respect of losses suffered by the Termination Date Holders in respect of Galaxy Shares and, to the extent applicable, Options. Accordingly, in the event damages or the Parent Fee are payable pursuant to this Article IX, the Stockholder Representative shall, in its sole and absolute discretion, determine the extent, if any, to which such damages or Parent Fee constitute Holder Damages, and Parent shall pay such Holder Damages to the Termination Date Holders in such accounts designated in writing by the Stockholder Representative.

(b) On or prior to the date the Holder Damages are paid to the Termination Date Holders in accordance with Section 9.6(a), or as promptly as practicable thereafter, the Galaxy Board will determine in good faith which, if any, Options should be deemed to be “Damaged Options” for the purposes of determining the Termination Date Holders and each Termination Date Holder’s Termination Percentage. For the purposes of this Agreement, each Person who holds one or more Galaxy Shares or Damaged Options as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date on which this Agreement is terminated shall be deemed to be a “Termination Date Holder”.

(c) Promptly after the later of (i) the determination in accordance with Section 9.6(b) of which, if any, Options are Damaged Options and (ii) the payment of the Holder Damages to the Termination Date Holders in accordance with Section 9.6(a)), Parent shall distribute the Holder Damages to the Termination Date Holders, in accordance with their respective Termination Percentages, subject to any applicable withholding; provided, however, that payment of any Holder Damages in respect of a Damaged Option granted under the Stock Plan to a Termination Date Holder who was an employee or independent contractor of Galaxy or any of its Subsidiaries when such Damaged Option was granted shall in all events be subject to the Termination Date Holder’s continued employment with Galaxy or its Subsidiaries through the date on which Holder Damages are distributed and any Holder Damages not distributed with respect to a Damaged Option by reason of this proviso (such a Damaged Option, an “Excluded Damaged Option” shall be distributed among all other Termination Date Holders in accordance with their respective Termination Percentages as determined without regard to any Excluded Damaged Options). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Termination Percentage” means, with respect to any Termination Date Holder, a ratio (expressed as a percentage) equal to (x) the sum of (A) the number of Galaxy Shares held by such holder as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of termination of this Agreement and (B) the number of Galaxy Shares issuable upon the exercise in full of any Damaged Options held by such holder as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of termination of this Agreement, divided by (y) (i) the sum of the aggregate number of Galaxy Shares held by all holders as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of termination of this Agreement, plus (ii) the aggregate number of Galaxy Shares issuable upon the exercise in full of all Damaged Options held by all holders as of 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on the date of termination of this Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.6, claims for Holder Damages shall be brought solely by the Stockholder Representative, on behalf of and as agent to the Termination Date Holders, and no other Galaxy Stockholder shall be entitled to assert a claim for Holder Damages.

10.9 Specific Enforcement.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, except as set forth in the Section 10.9(b), each of the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or otherwise, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then in any federal court located in the State of Delaware, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to object to a remedy of specific performance on the basis that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. Each party further agrees that no other party hereto or any other Person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 10.9, and each party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. To the extent any party hereto brings an action, suit or proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an action to enforce specifically any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement), the End Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the resolution of such action, suit or proceeding or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, until such time as Parent pays the Parent Fee at a time specific performance is not being pursued by Galaxy, the remedies available to Galaxy pursuant to this Section 10.9 shall be in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Galaxy from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate this Agreement and collect the Parent Fee under Section 9.2.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is explicitly agreed that Galaxy shall be entitled to seek specific performance of Parent’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement only in the event that (i) the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3 have been satisfied or waived as of the date the Closing should have been consummated pursuant to Section 1.2 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions assuming a Closing would occur), (ii) the Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing, and (iii) Galaxy has irrevocably confirmed to Parent in writing that (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions assuming a Closing would occur), (B) Galaxy is prepared to consummate the Closing and it stands ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing and (C) if specific performance is granted and, if applicable, the Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Galaxy be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce specifically Parent’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby if the Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing); provided, that this Section 10.9(b) shall not limit the right of Galaxy to seek specific performance of Parent’s other obligations under this Agreement, including Parent’s obligations under Section 5.6.

10.10 Submission to Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(d), each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party or its Affiliates against any other party or its Affiliates shall be brought and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any such legal action or proceeding may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

10.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

10.12 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of Galaxy, Merger Sub and Parent acknowledges that each party to this Agreement has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The parties agree that the initial press release to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.

10.14 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement and not otherwise), no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of Galaxy or Parent under this Agreement (whether for indemnification or otherwise) of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Each of Parent and Galaxy hereby waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause any other applicable Affiliates of Galaxy to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Representation”), of the Stockholder Representative, one or more Galaxy Stockholders, Galaxy, or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates or any of their respective officers, employees or directors (any such person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby, by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP or ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP (collectively, “Prior Company Counsel”). Without limiting the foregoing, Parent and Galaxy agree that, following the Closing, Prior Company Counsel may serve as counsel to any Designated Person in connection with any matters related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including any litigation, claim or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding any representation by Prior Company Counsel prior to the Closing of Galaxy and its Subsidiaries, and Parent and Galaxy (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby agree that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Parent, Galaxy or any Subsidiary of Galaxy, on the one hand, and any Designated Person, on the other hand, Prior Company Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such dispute even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Parent, Galaxy or its Subsidiaries and even though Prior Company Counsel may have represented Galaxy or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing in a matter substantially related to such dispute.

(b) Attorney-Client Privilege. Parent waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause Galaxy and its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between any Prior Company Counsel and Galaxy or any Designated Person to the extent related to the negotiation, execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any other agreements or transactions contemplated hereby in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute between any Designated Person and one or more of Parent, Galaxy and their respective Affiliates, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege shall be retained by the Stockholder Representative.
