The exercise price for any CHC Special Series A Shares or Shares shall be equal to the fair market value of such shares on the date the Option is exercised (the “Exercise Price”), and shall be payable in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser. The Seller may exercise the Option during the period commencing on the 31st day following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by Section 2.1 of the Centerline Purchase Agreement (the “Centerline Closing”) and ending on the second anniversary of the Centerline Closing, unless earlier terminated as provided below (the “Option Period”).

If the Purchaser and the Seller are unable to resolve such objection and agree to the Exercise Price within twenty (20) days after the date of the Objection Notice, then the matter shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.7 and the Exercise Price shall be the amount determined by the mediator as provided in Section 7.7. Absent the Purchaser’s delivery of the Objection Notice, the Exercise Price shall be that which is set forth in the Seller’s Option Notice, or as agreed to by the Purchaser and the Seller following the delivery of an Objection Notice.

The Seller shall deliver the Exercise Price for the Option Shares at the closing and shall represent and warrant that it is acquiring the underlying Option Shares for its own account (and not for the account of others) for investment and not with a view to the distribution thereof. At the closing of the purchase and sale of the Option Shares, the Seller (in its capacity as the party purchasing securities upon its exercise of the Option) shall make the representations and warranties contained in the immediately preceding sentence and in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.6, mutatis mutandis, to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser (in its capacity as the party selling securities upon the Seller’s exercise of the Option) shall make the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and 3.6, mutatis mutandis, to the Seller. The Seller hereby understands and agrees that, if it exercises the Option, it may not sell or otherwise dispose of the Option Shares in the absence of either a registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act.

(d) If the Seller exercises the Option, the Seller and the Purchaser agree to cooperate and execute an agreement consistent with the terms set forth in Section 5.5(c).

The Seller, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Purchaser Indemnitee from and against, and shall compensate, reimburse and pay for, any Damages as and when incurred that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee or to which any Purchaser Indemnitee may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any Third Party Claim) and which arise from, are caused by or result from, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

(a) any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in this Agreement, including Article 3; and

The indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake and control the defense, compromise and settlement of such claim. An indemnifying Party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that (a) counsel to the indemnifying Party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified Party) also be counsel to the indemnified Party and (b) no indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any Third Party Claim (whether or not the indemnified Parties are actual or potential parties thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional

release of each indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Third Party Claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified Party.

7.2. Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of

the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance, is found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

7.3. Entire Agreement; No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, including all exhibits and schedules attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes any and all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement does not, and is not intended to, confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy hereunder (other than as provided expressly in Article 6 as Seller Indemnitees and Purchaser Indemnitees, which is intended to be for the benefit of the Persons covered thereby).

7.4. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by both Parties. Any waiver of rights hereunder must be set forth in writing and signed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. A waiver of any breach or failure to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall not in any way affect, limit or waive either Party’s rights at any time to enforce strict compliance thereafter with every term or condition of this Agreement.

7.5. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective legal representatives and successors. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Party and any such purported assignment shall be void ab initio, except that the Purchaser shall have the right to assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, and any obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates.

7.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof.

7.7. Dispute Resolution; Mediation; Jurisdiction.

(a) Subject to Section 7.8, in the event of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach, termination or validity hereof, or the transactions contemplated hereby (each a “Dispute”), upon the written notice of any Party, the Parties shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the Dispute. If the Parties are unable for any reason to resolve a Dispute within 30 days after the receipt of such notice, the Dispute shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with Section 7.7(b).

(b) Subject to Section 7.8, any Dispute not resolved pursuant to Section 7.7(a) shall, at the request of either Party (a “Mediation Request”), be submitted to non-binding mediation in accordance with the then current International Institute for Conflict Prevention and

Resolution Mediation Procedure (the “Procedure”), except as modified herein. The mediation shall be held in New York, New York. The Parties shall have 20 days from receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request to agree on a mediator. If no mediator has been agreed upon by the Parties within 20 days of receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request, then such Party may request (on written notice to the other Party), that the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution appoint a mediator in accordance with the Procedure. All mediation pursuant to this clause shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations, and no oral or documentary representations made by the Parties during such mediation shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. No Party shall disclose or permit the disclosure of any information about the evidence adduced or the documents produced by the other Party in the mediation proceedings or about the existence, contents or results of the mediation without the prior written consent of such other Party except in the course of a judicial or regulatory proceeding or as may be required by Law or requested by a Governmental Authority or securities exchange. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall give the other Party reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure and afford the other Party a reasonable opportunity to protect its interests. If the Dispute has not been resolved within 60 days of the appointment of a mediator, or within 90 days of receipt by a Party of a Mediation Request (whichever occurs sooner), or within such longer period as the Parties may agree to in writing, then any Party may file an action on the Dispute in any court having jurisdiction in accordance with Section 7.7(c).

(c) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of the State of New York for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and agrees not to commence any litigation relating hereto except in such courts), and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to its respective address set forth in Section 7.1, shall be effective service of process for any litigation brought against it in any such court. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any litigation arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of New York or the courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of the State of New York and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to trial by jury in connection with any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby.

7.8. Specific Performance. The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser would be damaged irreparably if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached. Accordingly, the Seller agrees that the Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of posting a bond or furnishing other security, in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter.

7.9. Construction. The headings of the Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only, are not part of the agreement of the Parties and shall not affect its construction or interpretation of this Agreement. The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. This Agreement was negotiated by the Parties with the benefit of legal representation. If an ambiguity or question or intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring and or disfavoring a Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

7.10. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence regarding all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

7.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic pdf submission), each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
