COVENANTS

5.1 Conduct of the Transferred Locations Prior to the Closing.  From the date hereof until the Closing, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, otherwise permitted under the form of Sublease, or consented to in writing in advance by the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Seller shall conduct the business at the Transferred Locations in the ordinary course of business.

5.2 Use of DSG Name and the Seller’s Trademarks.  The Purchaser and its Affiliates (including Sportsman’s Warehouse Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation),  have no right in or to, and shall not use, the DSG Name or any of the Seller’s trademarks (including “Field & Stream” and any related trademarks) for any purpose whatsoever; provided,  however, that for a period equal to a maximum of ninety  (90) days following the Closing, the Purchaser may utilize the DSG Name and the Seller’s trademarks (including “Field & Stream” and any related trademarks) in the operation of the stores at the Transferred Locations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the parties agree and acknowledge that images and displays located in the Transferred Locations at the Closing that do not include the DSG Name,  any of the Seller’s trademarks (including “Field & Stream” and any related trademarks), or any intellectual property of any third party, may be retained and used by the Purchaser indefinitely.

5.3 Employee Matters.

(a) Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall facilitate and cooperate with reasonable requests of the Purchaser in any application, interview, background check and hiring processes of the Purchaser.  The Purchaser will determine which of the Seller Employees to whom it wishes to extend conditional offers of at-will employment; provided that the Purchaser shall extend such offers to substantially all (excluding the “Responsible Persons,” as defined below) of the Seller Employees, including the Seller Employees as described on Schedule 5.3(a).  Any such offers will be subject to the candidate passing the Purchaser's background check process (including any drug and credit screening checks as applicable).

(b) Following the close of business on the Closing Date, and except as may be set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, the Seller shall terminate as of the Closing Date those Seller Employees that have been extended offers of at-will employment with the Purchaser, and the Seller will remain liable for all Liabilities relating to such employees and its former employees that arise out of or relate to the period prior to the Closing.  Immediately following the Closing, the Purchaser shall or shall cause its Affiliates to, make offers of at-will employment to such Seller Employees and on such terms and conditions as the Purchaser determines, in its sole discretion, subject to Section ‎5.4.  Each Seller Employee who accepts employment with the Purchaser after the Closing shall be a “Transferred Employee.”  Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an agreement by the Purchaser to assume or be bound by any previous or existing employment agreement or arrangement between the Seller and any of its employees, or a guarantee that any Transferred Employee shall be entitled to remain in the employment of the Purchaser for a specified period of time.  Any Liability arising out of or relating to the termination of employment of the Seller Employees by the Seller in respect of any period prior to the Closing (including Liabilities arising from employment terminations sufficient in number to trigger application of the WARN Act or any similar state laws, in each case with respect to the Transferred Locations) shall be an Excluded Liability for all purposes. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall continue to employ following the Closing and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transition Services Agreement (on a store-by-store basis) only such Seller Employees that are designated as a “Responsible Person”  under the Transition Services Agreement (collectively, the “Responsible Persons”). Each Responsible Person who accepts employment with the Purchaser after the termination of the Transition Services Agreement (on a store-by-store basis) and pursuant to the terms of the  Transition Services Agreement shall be a Transferred Employee for purposes of this Agreement.

5.4 Employee Benefit Plans.

(a) For a period of not less than one  (1)  year following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall offer each Transferred Employee, while employed by the Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof, with (i) wages and salaries that are at least equal to the wages and salaries of such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) eligibility to participate in the group employee benefit plans made generally available to similarly situated employees of the Purchaser, other than any employee benefit plan that is closed, grandfathered or frozen as of the Closing either with respect to level of benefits or participation. 

(b) To the extent permissible under applicable Law, for all purposes under any of the employee benefit and compensation plans, programs, arrangements and policies maintained by the Purchaser following the Closing (collectively, the “Purchaser’s Plans”), the Purchaser shall give to each Transferred Employee credit for past service with the Seller as of and through the Closing Date for eligibility and vesting purposes (but not for benefit accruals other than vacation)  under any comparable Employee Benefit Plan to the same extent that such Employee Benefit Plan recognized such service; provided,  however, such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or to the extent that the Employee Benefit Plan is not listed on Schedule 3.14(a).

(c) The Purchaser shall take commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive any waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, or the application of any pre-existing condition limitations and  (ii) credit amounts paid under the comparable Employee Benefit Plan (but only to the extent the Employee Benefit Plan is listed on Schedule 3.14(a))  for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser’s Plan with respect to the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(d) Effective as of the Closing, the Purchaser shall have in effect a defined contribution plan that is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and that includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section 401(k) of the Code (the “Purchaser Savings Plan”).  Transferred Employees shall be eligible to participate in the Purchaser Savings Plan to the extent they have met the eligibility requirements thereof (after giving effect to prior service credit with the Seller in accordance with Section ‎5.4(b)); and, with respect to those Transferred Employees who are eligible to participate in the Purchaser Savings Plan, the Purchaser shall permit such Transferred Employees, if any, who receive an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code)  from the Dick’s Sporting Goods, Inc. Smart Savings 401(k) Plan to rollover such eligible rollover distribution, including any associated loan of cash, into an account under the Purchaser Savings Plan as soon as reasonably practicable following the Purchaser’s receipt of the Transferred Employee’s rollover application.

5.5 Tax Matters.

(a) The Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with Tax matters arising after the Closing Date related to the Transferred Locations or the Purchased Assets, including any audit, litigation, notice or other

proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  The Seller agrees (a) to retain all books, records, files and other data and materials with respect to Tax matters relating to the Transferred Locations for any period including or prior to the Closing Date (the “Tax Records”) until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (b) to give the Purchaser reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such Tax Records and, if the Purchaser so requests, the Purchaser shall be permitted to take possession of such Tax Records.

(b) All real property, personal property and similar ad valorem Taxes (“Property Taxes”) levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the Purchaser and the Seller on a per diem basis for any Straddle Period based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Pre-Closing Period and the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Post-Closing Period.   The Seller shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre‑Closing Period and the Purchaser shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Period. Upon receipt of any ▇▇▇▇ for such Property Taxes,  the Purchaser or the Seller, as applicable, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section ‎5.5(b) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within thirty (30) days after delivery of such statement. In the event that the Purchaser or the Seller makes any payment of Property Taxes for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section ‎5.5(b), the applicable party shall make such reimbursement no later than thirty (30) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of the reimbursement to which the party presenting the statement is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the reimbursement amount.

5.6 Bulk Sales Laws.  The parties hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the sale of any or all of the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser,  it being understood that any Liabilities arising out of the failure of the Seller to comply with the requirements and provisions of any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar laws shall be treated as Excluded Liabilities.  

5.7 Post-Closing Payment.  Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date the Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller in writing, an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the applicable Inventory Value.  For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that following payment of such amount to the Seller, such amount shall be included in the definition of “Purchase Price” for all purposes herein including, without limitation, as such term is used in Article VII.

5.8 Governmental Permits.  The Purchaser shall, as promptly as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, the Permits from all Governmental Authorities,  that are required in connection with the purchase or other acquisition, possession or sale or other transfer of firearms, ammunition, reloading supplies or explosives (including without limitation pursuant to the Gun Control Act of 1968 (Chapter 44 of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code), the National Firearms Act of 1934 (Chapter 53 of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code), and the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. § 2778), as well as all applicable rules and regulations of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives), and any similar state and local laws and regulations.    Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates, and do all things reasonably necessary, in order to promptly seek and obtain all such firearm Permits, including performing its obligations under the Transition Services Agreement.  The parties hereto

shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required firearm Permits.

5.9 Private Label Inventory.

(a) The Seller will allocate to and replenish Private Label Inventory to the Purchaser through December 31, 2019 on a cost-neutral basis (including all supply chain-related costs) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, so long as such Private Label Inventory was already ordered as of the date hereof.

(b) The Purchaser agrees not to liquidate the Private Label Inventory during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following December 31, 2019;  provided,  however, the Purchaser may manage and resell such Private Label Inventory in its ordinary course of business (including, the ordinary course promotions, sales and clearances).  The Purchaser may return to the Seller,  at cost,  all Private Label Inventory that the Purchaser has not sold within one hundred twenty (120) days of the December 31, 2019 or liquidate such Private Label Inventory at the Seller’s election.  The Seller shall be responsible for the cost of associated return freight.  The parties shall mutually agree upon the time and manner of any such return of the Private Label Inventory pursuant to this Section ‎5.9.  

5.10 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.    

(a) For a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date and within a ten (10) mile radius of any of the Transferred Locations, the Seller will not, for itself or for any of its subsidiaries, commence or recommence the sale of firearms, ammunition, reloading supplies, and/or hunting licenses;  provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this Section ‎5.10(a) shall not apply to (i) any of the Seller’s (or any of its subsidiaries’) store locations existing on the date hereof, (ii) any store locations that are acquired by the Seller as part of a corporate transaction or a portfolio acquisition of multiple store locations where such stores are selling firearms, ammunition, reloading supplies and/or hunting licenses on the date of such acquisition, or (iii) any action performed by the Seller pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

(b) For a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date,  the Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, without the consent of the Purchaser,  hire or solicit any Transferred Employee hired by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or encourage any such Transferred Employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section ‎5.10(b) shall prevent the Seller or any of its respective Affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by the Purchaser or (ii) after ninety (90) days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(c) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Purchaser and its Affiliates would suffer irreparable and ongoing damages (including a significant loss of the value of the Transferred Locations and Purchased Assets purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement) in the event that any provision of this Section ‎5.10 were not performed in accordance with its terms or otherwise were breached, and (ii) monetary damages, even if available, alone would not be an adequate remedy for any such non-performance or breach.  Accordingly, the Seller agrees that in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Section ‎5.10, the Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have existing in its favor at law, in equity or otherwise, to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief (including a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction and a final injunction) to prevent any such breach or threatened breach and to enforce such provisions specifically,

without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or of proving actual damages.  The prevailing party in any action commenced under this Section ‎5.10(c) (whether through a monetary judgment, injunctive relief or otherwise) also shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred in connection with such action.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Seller be liable to the Purchaser for any consequential or indirect damages related to any default or breach under this Section ‎5.10.    

(d) The Seller acknowledges and agrees that (i) the covenants applicable to the Seller set forth in this Section ‎5.10 constitute a material inducement to the Purchaser’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transaction and are an integral part of the Transaction, (ii) but for these covenants, the Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement or agreed to acquire the Transferred Locations and the Purchased Assets, and (iii) in view of the highly competitive nature of the businesses conducted at the Transferred Locations, the business objectives of the Purchaser in acquiring the Transferred Locations and the Purchased Assets and consideration to be paid for the Transferred Locations and the Purchased Assets hereunder, each of the covenants set forth in this Section ‎5.10 is reasonable with respect to its scope, geographic area and duration and is necessary to protect the Purchaser’s legitimate business interests.

(e) Each of the covenants set forth in this Section ‎5.10 is a severable and independent covenant.  The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any covenant as written in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants set forth in this Section ‎5.10 or such covenant in any other jurisdiction.  The existence of any claim or cause of action against one party hereto by any other party hereto, whether predicated on the breach of this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of the covenants set forth in this Section ‎5.10.  If, at the time of enforcement of any provision of this Section ‎5.10, a final determination is made by a court of competent jurisdiction or an arbitrator that any such provision is invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable under applicable Law, the parties hereto hereby authorize and instruct such court or arbitrator to revise and reform the scope, geographic area and/or duration of the provisions of this Section ‎5.10 and such provisions shall be deemed to have been reformed so as to produce the maximum legally enforceable restrictions (not greater than those contained herein) permitted by applicable Law.  If such court or arbitrator refuses to do so, the parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Section ‎5.10 shall not be rendered null and void, but rather shall be deemed to have been reformed to provide for such maximum legally enforceable restrictions.  The time period during which the covenants set forth in this Section ‎5.10 shall apply shall be tolled and suspended for a period equal to the aggregate time during which any of the Seller violates any such covenant.

5.11 Subsequent Closings.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that if the Closing occurs but one (1) or more of the store locations identified on Exhibit A.1 is not included among the Transferred Locations, then the parties may mutually agree to consummate one (1) or more subsequent closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”) through which any such store identified on Exhibit A.1 but not originally included among the Transferred Locations may be sold, assigned, transferred and delivered by the Seller to the Purchaser on the date of the Subsequent Closing pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,  mutatis mutandis;  provided,  however, any such Subsequent Closing shall occur on or before the Outside Date.    For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that one or more Subsequent Closings occur, then the parties acknowledge and agree that (a) with respect to any closing delivery, closing condition, representation or warranty, the term “Closing Date” as used herein shall refer to the date on which such Subsequent Closing actually occurs and (b) with respect to any covenant, except Section ‎5.3(b) or indemnification obligation, the term “Closing Date” as used herein shall refer to the date on which the last Subsequent Closing actually occurs under this Agreement.

5.12 Landlord Estoppel Certificates.  The parties shall work together in good faith to obtain a Landlord Estoppel Certificate from the landlord of each Lease in the form provided to each landlord or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Seller shall not be in default hereunder for the failure to obtain an estoppel for any Lease and the receipt of such estoppels shall not be a condition to the Closing.

5.13 Confidentiality.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Confidentiality Agreement remains in full force and effect and, in addition, covenants and agrees to keep confidential, in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, information provided to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement,  provided that the Seller shall have the right to disclose information related to this transaction to each of the landlords or lessors under the Leases for the purpose of obtaining any necessary consents or other similar approvals contemplated herein.

5.14 Further Assurances.  Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to,  at the request of any party hereto, execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably requested or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the Transaction and the other documents delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement.

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Survival.  The representations and warranties of the parties hereto contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the first anniversary of the Closing Date;  provided,  however, that the Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect indefinitely or until the latest date permitted by applicable Law.  None of the covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement shall survive the applicable Closing Date other than those which by their terms contemplate performance after the applicable Closing Date, and each such surviving covenant and agreement shall survive the applicable Closing for the period contemplated by its terms.    If any Claims Notice (as defined below) is given in accordance with the terms of Section ‎7.4 within the applicable survival period provided above (as applicable, the “Cut-Off Date”), the claims specifically set forth in such Claims Notice shall survive until such time as such claims are finally resolved.

7.2 Indemnification by the Seller; Indemnification by the Purchaser.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein,  from and after the Closing Date, the Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser, its Affiliates and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees and agents, and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns (each, a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by any such Purchaser Indemnitee caused by or arising from (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate pursuant hereto or in connection herewith,  (ii) any breach of or failure to timely perform any covenant or agreement made hereunder by the Seller to be made or performed by the Seller, or (iii) the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities.

7.3 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the cumulative indemnification obligations of the Seller under Section ‎7.2(a)(i) (other than for any breach of a Fundamental Representation)  in the aggregate exceed an amount equal to seven and one half percent (7.5%) of (i) the Purchase Price,  less (ii) any Cash included in the calculation thereof (the “Cap”); provided,  however, that the limitation set forth in this Section ‎7.3‎(a) shall not apply to claims (and such claims shall not apply to the Cap) arising out of or in connection with fraud or willful misconduct. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, the aggregate amount of all Losses for which the Seller or the Purchaser shall be liable pursuant to Section ‎7.2(a)(i) or (ii) or pursuant to Section ‎7.2(b)(i) or (ii), respectively, shall not in any event exceed the Purchase Price, less any Cash included in the calculation thereof.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller shall not have any obligation to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnitee under Section ‎7.2(a)(i) (other than for any breach of a Fundamental Representation)  until the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be subject to indemnification pursuant to Section ‎7.2(a)(i), exceeds an amount equal to one percent (1.0%) of (i) the Purchase Price, less (ii) any Cash included in the calculation thereof (the “Basket Amount”), whereupon the Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive only amounts for Losses in excess of the Basket Amount;  provided,  however, that the limitations set forth in this Section ‎7.3‎(b) shall not apply to claims arising out of or in connection with fraud or willful misconduct.

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, under no circumstances shall any Indemnitee be entitled to be indemnified for special, consequential, indirect, punitive, exemplary or other similar damages, or damages based upon lost profits, lost revenues, diminution in value, business interruptions, multiples of earnings, multiples of cash flows, or losses of business opportunity or reputation. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section ‎7.2(a) to the extent any Loss results from any breach or inaccuracy in any representation of warranty of the Purchaser in Section ‎4.7.

(b) No party hereto shall be obligated to indemnify any other Person with respect to (i) any representation, warranty, covenant or condition specifically waived in writing by an authorized officer of the other party on or prior to the Closing, or (ii) any Losses for which a Claims Notice was not duly delivered prior to the applicable Cut-Off Date.

(c) The party seeking indemnification under this ‎ARTICLE 7 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) mitigate any Losses which form the basis of an indemnification claim hereunder and (ii) obtain any insurance proceeds or proceeds from other sources of indemnification available to such party in respect of the Losses which form the basis of an indemnification claim hereunder.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, such party’s obligation to mitigate any Losses shall not require such party to initiate any legal proceeding or assume or incur any material Liability.

(d) No Indemnitee shall be entitled to recover any Losses relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement to the extent that such Indemnitee has already recovered such Losses with respect to such matter pursuant to other provisions of this Agreement.

7.4 Indemnification Claim Process.

(a) All claims for indemnification by either a Seller Indemnitee or a  Purchaser Indemnitee under this ‎ARTICLE 7 shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with Sections ‎7.4 and ‎7.5.

(b) If a Purchaser Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this ‎ARTICLE 7, the Purchaser Indemnitee shall promptly, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following such Purchaser Indemnitee’s knowledge of such claim, notify the Seller in writing of such claim, describing such claim in reasonable detail and the amount or estimated amount of such Losses (the “Claims Notice”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure or delay of the Purchaser Indemnitee to give a Claims Notice shall not relieve the Seller of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Seller shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(c) If a Seller Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification pursuant to this ‎ARTICLE 7, the Seller Indemnitee shall promptly, but in no event more than thirty (30) days following such Seller Indemnitee’s knowledge of such claim, deliver a Claims Notice to the Purchaser.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure or delay of the Seller Indemnitee to give a Claims Notice shall not relieve the Purchaser of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Purchaser shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(d) The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30) days from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Claims Notice related to any Third Party Claim to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor desires to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee.  If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of such claim in accordance herewith:  (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim, but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, (ii) the Indemnitee shall not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee unless the judgment or settlement provides solely for the payment of money and the Indemnitee receives an unconditional release.  The parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with Third Party Claims, and cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto.  Whether or not the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, an Indemnitor may not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim if (i) the claim could result in imprisonment of or imposition of a civil or criminal fine against the Indemnitee or its Representatives, (ii) the claim could result in an equitable remedy that would impair the Indemnitee’s ability to exercise its rights under this Agreement, or impair the Purchaser’s right or ability to operate the stores at the Transferred Locations, (iii) the claim names both the Indemnitor and Indemnitee (including impleaded parties) and representation of both such parties by the same counsel would create a conflict or (iv) the aggregate amount of all Losses with respect to such claim exceeds the Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations for such claim.    

(e) If the Indemnitor does not assume or is not entitled to assume, in accordance with Section ‎7.4(d) above, the defense of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claims Notice, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume such defense, at its sole cost and expense, upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor;  provided,  however, that the Indemnitor (i) shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its sole cost and expense and (ii) shall not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent,  which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(f) The Indemnitee shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, provide reasonable cooperation with the Indemnitor in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pretrial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which a Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this ‎ARTICLE 7 that the Indemnitor has elected to control,  including, but not limited to, by providing the Indemnitor with reasonable access to books, records, employees and officers (including as witnesses) of the Indemnitee.

7.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims.  The Indemnitee will deliver a Claims Notice to the Indemnitor promptly, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days after its discovery of any matter for which the Indemnitor may be liable to the Indemnitee hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim describing in reasonable detail (based on the information then available to the Indemnitee) the basis for such non-third party claim and the amount of the Losses claimed by the Indemnitee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure or delay of the Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Indemnitor shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.    Each party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the other party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnitee and in otherwise resolving such matters. 

7.6 Exclusive Remedy.  Except (a) in the case where a party seeks to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section ‎5.10 or Section ‎9.16,  and (b)  for claims arising out of or in connection with fraud or willful misconduct, from and after the Closing the rights of the parties to indemnification pursuant to the provisions of this ‎ARTICLE 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for the parties hereto with respect to any matter in any way arising from or relating to (i) this Agreement or the Transaction or (ii) any other matter relating to the operation of the stores at the Transferred Locations prior to the Closing, in each case regardless of the legal theory under which such Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at Law or in equity, or otherwise, and the parties hereby agree that the Purchaser Indemnitees shall have no remedy or recourse with respect to any of the foregoing other than pursuant to, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this ‎ARTICLE 7.  The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser Indemnitees may not avoid such limitation on Liability by (1) seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of Liability, all of which are hereby waived or (2) asserting or threatening any claim against any Person that is not a party hereto (or a successor to a party hereto) for breaches of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement.  The parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the Purchaser’s and the Purchaser Indemnitees’ and the Seller’s and the Seller Indemnitees’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid to the Seller hereunder.  Each party hereto shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be deemed to have relied upon, all of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of each other party hereto set forth herein.  Subject to the foregoing and the additional procedures for bringing or resolving disputes as specifically provided in this Agreement,  to the maximum extent permitted by Law, the parties hereby waive all other rights and remedies with respect to

any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith, whether under any laws at common law, in equity or otherwise.

7.7 Calculation of Losses; Limitations. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this ‎ARTICLE 7 shall be (a) net of any amounts recoverable by any Indemnitee under insurance policies or any other source of indemnification with respect to such Loss (net of direct collection expenses), and (b) reduced to the extent of any Tax savings or benefits actually received by any Indemnitee to the extent attributable to such Loss,  provided that the Indemnitee shall not be required to seek action from any Person as a requirement hereunder or as a condition to seeking or recovering indemnification from any Indemnitor hereunder.    Any Indemnitee shall forward any insurance proceeds received by such Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnitor to the extent that such proceeds cover Losses previously incurred by the applicable Indemnitor.

7.8 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments.  Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, any indemnity payment made under this Agreement shall be treated by all parties as an adjustment to the purchase price for all federal, state, local and foreign Tax purposes, and the parties shall file their Tax Returns accordingly.
