ARTICLE II.

PURCHASE AND SALE

Section 2.01. Purchase and Sale of LLC Interests. Subject to, and upon the terms and conditions set forth in, this Agreement, at the Closing, in consideration for payment of the Purchase Price, Seller agrees to sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the LLC Interests for the consideration specified in Section 2.02.

Section 2.02. Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale, transfer, assignment conveyance and delivery of the LLC Interests pursuant to Section 2.01, the aggregate purchase price for the LLC Interests is an amount equal to (a) $250.0 million, plus (b) the Estimated Working Capital Excess, if any, less (c) the Estimated Working Capital Deficiency, if any (collectively and in the aggregate, the “Purchase Price”), all subject to subsequent final adjustment as provided in Section 2.04.

Section 2.03. Deposit. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto, Buyer has deposited an amount in cash equal to $17.5 million (such amount, including the interest accrued thereon at the Applicable Rate, the “Deposit”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account of Seller.

Section 2.04. Working Capital Calculations.

(a) Minimum Cage Cash. At the Closing, the Company shall have cash on hand in an amount not less than Minimum Cash on Hand, which amount shall be inclusive of at least $2.0 million of Cage Cash or such greater amount sufficient to meet the requirements of the Mississippi Gaming Commission and under Gaming Laws (the “Minimum Cage Cash”).

(b) Cash Count. At the Effective Time, or such other time reasonably agreed to by the Company that will cause a minimal level of disruption to the operations of the Business, Seller shall conduct a Cash count and the drop for one hundred percent (100%) of the Company’s gaming device “hoppers” and a Representative of Buyer shall be present to observe such Cash count and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ drop if Buyer so elects. Such Cash count and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ drop shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller and Buyer and shall be used in the preparation and determination of the Working Capital as of Closing.

(i) During the ten-Business Day period prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to review the information and data then available and mutually agree on an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date prepared in good faith and substantially in the form of the Balance Sheet (the “Pre-Closing Balance

Sheet”), a statement of Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date based on the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet (the “Estimated Working Capital Statement”), which shall quantify in reasonable detail the items constituting such Working Capital, including the HR Transfer Fees paid or to be paid by the Company or Seller prior to the Closing (the “Pre-Closing HR Transfer Fees”) and, if applicable, all unpaid Transaction Fees and unpaid Casualty Repair Costs as of the Closing. The Pre-Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles and shall be in substantially the form of Section 2.04(a) of the Disclosure Schedules. The Estimated Working Capital Statement will contain (i) a good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Initial Working Capital”), and (ii) a statement of the amount by which (A) the Initial Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital (such amount, the “Estimated Working Capital Excess”) or (B) the Target Working Capital exceeds the Initial Working Capital (such amount, the “Estimated Working Capital Deficiency”). Each of Buyer and Seller shall bear its own expenses in the preparation and review of the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet, Estimated Working Capital Statement and the Pre-Closing HR Transfer Fees. Section 2.04(a) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth a sample calculation of Working Capital, which is illustrative of the calculations used to arrive at the Working Capital.

(ii) Seller will permit Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to Seller’s and the Company’s accountant work papers, books and records relating to the calculation and preparation of the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet, Estimated Working Capital Statement and the Pre-Closing HR Transfer Fees, and reasonable access to the Company’s accounting personnel and outside accountant who assisted in the preparation of the foregoing. Prior to the Closing, the parties will cooperate in good faith to resolve any disagreements concerning the computation of any of the items included in the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet, Estimated Working Capital Statement and the Pre-Closing HR Transfer Fees; provided, that it is acknowledged and agreed that if any disagreements cannot be resolved, then the Closing will occur on the basis of the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet, Estimated Working Capital Statement and the Pre-Closing HR Transfer Fees determined by Seller in good faith (which Seller will provide to Buyer at least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date), and that any unresolved disagreements will be deferred for resolution pursuant to the final adjustments using the Final Working Capital Adjustment as provided for in Section 2.04(d).

(d) Final Working Capital Adjustment.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date in substantially the form of the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), a statement of Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date in substantially the form of the Estimated Working Capital Statement (the “Closing Statement”), which shall quantify in reasonable detail the items constituting such Working Capital, including a statement of the actual Transaction Expenses, the HR Transfer Fees and the unpaid Casualty Repair Costs (if applicable). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles and Section 2.04(a) of the Disclosure Schedules. The Closing Statement will set forth the aggregate amount of Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Working Capital”). Each of Seller and Buyer shall bear its own expenses in

the preparation and review of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement. Subject to applicable Law, Seller will provide Buyer reasonable access to any of Seller’s records to the extent such records are reasonably related to the preparation of the foregoing items.

(ii) Seller shall have forty-five (45) days following the date of delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement (the “Seller Review Period”) to provide Buyer with a written certificate confirming that the amounts and calculations set forth in such statements are correct (the “Confirmation Certificate”). If Seller objects to any of the calculations of Closing Date Working Capital or any element of the Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Statement, it shall, prior to the end of the Seller Review Period, notify Buyer of such objection in writing (a “Balance Sheet Dispute Notice”), setting forth in detail the particulars of such objection and Seller’s proposed adjustments to such amounts and calculations. During the Seller Review Period, Buyer and the Company shall, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice and in a manner that does not materially interfere with the business or operations of Buyer or the Company, provide Seller with (A) such information as may be reasonably requested by Seller with respect to its review of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, including all relevant accounting work papers and (B) reasonable access to the Company’s accounting personnel and outside accountant who developed the Closing Balance Sheet and other information contained in such statements. In the event that Seller does not provide a Balance Sheet Dispute Notice by the end of the Seller Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital delivered by Buyer, which shall each be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement and not subject to any further recourse against Seller under any provision hereof, except as set forth in Section 9.02. In the event any Balance Sheet Dispute Notice is timely delivered, Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of first delivery of the Balance Sheet Dispute Notice (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve the disagreements identified in the Balance Sheet Dispute Notice. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then such disagreements shall be submitted for resolution to an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than Seller’s Accountants or Buyer’s Accountants, appointed by mutual agreement of Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Accountants”) who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve any such remaining disagreements. To the extent any disagreement is not described in the Balance Sheet Dispute Notice, then all items included in the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital that are not subject to any such disagreement will be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement and not subject to any further recourse against Seller under any provision of this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 9.02. The parties will take actions reasonably available to them to cause the Independent Accountants to determine as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the submission of such dispute to the Independent Accountants, whether the Closing Statement and other items, if applicable, were prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement and, only with respect to the disagreements submitted to the Independent Accountants, whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Date Working Capital requires adjustment within the range between Buyer’s calculation and Seller’s respective calculations. The parties shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accountants to promptly deliver to Buyer and Seller their determination in writing (along with a statement of reasons therefor), which determination shall be made subject to the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement. The fees and

costs of the Independent Accountants shall be payable one half (1/2) by Seller, on the one hand, and one half (1/2) by Buyer, on the other hand. The determination made by the Independent Accountants shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement and not subject to any further recourse by Buyer or Seller under any provision hereof, except as set forth in Section 9.02. The date on which the Closing Date Working Capital and such other calculations, if applicable, are finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.04 is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date”.

(b) Except as set forth in Section 8.01(c)(2) of the Disclosure Schedules, no consent, approval, Permit, Governmental Order, declaration or filing with, or notice to, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required by or with respect to Buyer in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, or the consummation of the Transactions, except for (i) any approvals or filing of notices required under the Gaming Laws, (ii) such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, permits, filings, declarations or registrations related to, or arising out of, compliance with statutes, rules or regulations regulating the consumption, sale or serving of alcoholic beverages, (iii) such filings as may be required under the HSR Act and the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period thereunder, (iv) such consents, approvals, Permits, Governmental Orders, declarations, filings or notices which, individually or in the aggregate, would not (A) result in, or reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect or (B) materially impair the ability of Buyer to perform its obligations under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is, or is specified to be, a party, and (v) such consents, approvals, Permits, Governmental Orders, declarations, filings or notices which may be required solely by reason of Seller’s, as opposed to any other third party’s participation in the Transactions (which are the obligation of Seller to obtain).

Section 5.04. Brokers. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Buyer or Buyer Parent.

Section 5.05. Sufficiency of Funds.

(a) Buyer has delivered to Seller a true and complete copy of the Financing Commitment. As of the Signing Date, the Financing Commitment has not been amended or modified, no such amendment or modification is contemplated (other than amendments or modifications permitted by Section 6.23), and, to Buyer’s Knowledge, none of the respective obligations and commitments contained in the Financing Commitment has been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect. Buyer has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Financing Commitment that are payable on or prior to the Signing Date. Assuming (i) the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Commitment, (ii) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV hereof, and (iii) compliance by Seller and the Company with their covenants under this Agreement, the net proceeds contemplated by the Financing Commitment, together with Buyer’s cash on hand, will in the aggregate be sufficient for Buyer to pay each of the amounts required to be paid by Buyer in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and to pay all related fees and expenses of Buyer. The Financing Commitment is (A) a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, each of the other parties thereto, and (B) enforceable in accordance with its terms against Buyer and, to the Knowledge of Buyer, each of the other parties thereto, subject, as to clause (B), to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). As of the Signing Date, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would or would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of Buyer or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, any other parties thereto under the Financing Commitment; provided that Buyer is not making any representation or warranty regarding the effect of (x) any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV or (y) the failure by Seller or the Company to comply with any covenant herein. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitment. As of the Signing Date, there are no Contracts (whether oral or written) or commitments to enter into any Contracts (whether oral or written) to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates is a party related to the Financing other than as expressly contained in the Financing Commitment and delivered to Seller prior to or simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement are not subject to any conditions regarding Buyer’s, its Affiliates’ or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) Assuming the accuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties in Article IV, immediately after giving effect to the Transactions, each of Buyer and the Company shall be solvent and shall: (i) be able to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) own property that has a fair saleable value greater than the amounts required to pay its debts (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent liabilities); and (iii) have adequate capital to carry on its business. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the Transactions with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of any of Buyer or the Company. In connection with the Transactions, Buyer has not incurred, nor plans to incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they become absolute and matured.

Section 5.06. Ability to Bear Risk. The financial condition of Buyer is such that it can afford to (a) bear the economic risk of holding the LLC Interests for an indefinite period and (b) suffer the complete loss of its investment in the LLC Interests.

Section 5.07. Licensability of Licensing Affiliates; Required Licensees.

(a) Solely with respect to the businesses of Buyer Parent and its subsidiaries, as of the Signing Date, Buyer, Buyer Parent, and each of their respective Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives (each, a “Licensed Party” and collectively, the “Licensed Parties”) who are required to be licensed or found suitable under applicable Laws hold all material Permits, findings of suitability, variances, exemptions or certificates of occupancy of or from all Governmental Authorities under all applicable Laws necessary to conduct the current business and operations of Buyer Parent and its subsidiaries, each of which is in full force and effect in all material respects as of the Signing Date (collectively, the “Buyer Permits”), and, as of the Signing Date, no event has occurred that (with or without the giving of notice or passage time, or both) permits revocation, non-renewal, modification, suspension, limitation or termination of any Buyer Permits held by a Licensed Party, except in each case for such exceptions that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay the ability of Buyer or Buyer Parent to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which each is, or is specified to be, a party. To the Knowledge of Buyer, as of the Signing Date, there is no reason for the Gaming Authorities not to grant all required Gaming Approvals or refuse to grant any finding of suitability with respect to Buyer.

(b) To the Knowledge of Buyer, as of the Signing Date, there are no facts, that if known to the Gaming Authority, would (i) reasonably be expected to result in the denial, revocation, limitation or suspension of a Gaming Approval with respect to Buyer or Buyer Parent, any of its principals, Representatives or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, key employees or Persons performing management functions similar to an officer (such Persons, the “Licensing Affiliates”), (ii) reasonably be expected to result in a negative outcome to any finding of suitability proceedings currently pending, or under the suitability proceedings necessary to obtain a Gaming Approval required to consummate the Transactions, or (iii) reasonably be expected to cause a material delay under any suitability proceeding required by a Gaming Authority to consummate the Transactions. Section 5.07(b) of the Disclosure Schedules sets forth each Licensing Affiliate that Buyer believes must obtain a Gaming Approval in order to consummate the Transactions (together, the “Required Licensees”).

(c) As of the Signing Date, none of the Required Licensees has ever been arrested, detained, charged, indicted or convicted or pleaded guilty or nolo contendere or forfeited bail in connection with any criminal offense under the laws of any jurisdiction, whether such criminal offense constitutes a felony or misdemeanor (except for traffic violations).

Section 5.08. Compliance with Gaming Laws. Solely with respect to the businesses of Buyer Parent and its subsidiaries, other than routine matters in connection with updating of Licensing Affiliates’ disclosure obligations in the States of Rhode Island and Colorado and matters in connection with obtaining Gaming Approvals, as of the Signing Date, neither Buyer, its Affiliates, nor, to the Knowledge of Buyer, any Licensing Affiliate, has received notice of any

pending investigation or review by any Gaming Authority with respect to Buyer, Buyer Parent and each of their respective Affiliates, any of the Licensing Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, key employees or Persons performing management functions similar to an officer. To the Knowledge of Buyer, as of the Signing Date, (a) no such investigation or review is threatened, (b) no Gaming Authority has indicated any intention to conduct the same, and (c) there are no facts that, if known to a Gaming Authority, will or would reasonably be expected to give rise to any inquiry or investigation, or to result in the revocation, limitation or suspension of a license issued to such Persons by an applicable Gaming Authority. Solely with respect to the businesses of Buyer Parent and its subsidiaries, other than routine matters in connection with updating of Licensing Affiliates’ disclosure obligations in the States of Rhode Island and Colorado and matters in connection with obtaining Gaming Approvals, as of the Signing Date, neither Buyer, any of its Affiliates, nor, to the Knowledge of Buyer, any Licensed Party or director, officer, key employee or partner of a Licensed Party has suffered a suspension or revocation of any license issued to such Persons by an applicable Gaming Authority.

Section 5.09. Gaming Laws. This Agreement is subject to the Gaming Laws and the Liquor Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that all rights, remedies and powers under this Agreement, including ownership and operation of the gaming facilities, and the possession or control of gaming equipment, alcoholic beverages or a gaming or liquor license, may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provisions of the Gaming Laws and Liquor Laws and only to the extent that required approvals (including prior approvals) are obtained from the requisite Governmental Authority. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition of the LLC Interests is ineffective unless approved in advance by the Gaming Authorities. If at any time a Gaming Authority finds that an owner of the LLC Interests is unsuitable to continue to have an involvement in gaming, such owner must dispose of such security as provided by the Gaming Laws. Buyer acknowledges that the Gaming Laws and regulations restrict the right under certain circumstances: (a) to pay or receive any dividend or interest upon such security; (b) to exercise, directly or through any trustee or nominee, any voting right conferred by such security; or (c) to receive any remuneration in any form from the Company, for services rendered or otherwise.

Section 5.10. Hard Rock Intellectual Property. Buyer acknowledges that certain Intellectual Property used in connection with the Business, including the name “Hard Rock Hotel & Casino,” is not owned by the Company, but is licensed for use by the Company pursuant to the Hard Rock License Agreement.

Section 5.11. Legal Proceedings. As of the Signing Date, there are no Proceedings pending or, to Buyer’s Knowledge, threatened against or by Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer (including Buyer Parent) that challenge or seek to prevent, enjoin or otherwise delay the Transactions. To Buyer’s Knowledge, as of the Signing Date, no event has occurred or circumstances exist that may give rise or serve as a basis for any such Proceeding.

Section 5.12. Disclaimer of Other Representations or Warranties. Buyer does not make and has not made any representations or warranties in connection with the Transactions other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Person has been authorized by Buyer or Buyer Parent to make any

representations or warranties relating to Buyer or Buyer Parent or otherwise in connection with the Transactions, and, if made, such representation or warranty may not be relied upon as having been authorized by Buyer or Buyer Parent.

ARTICLE VI.

COVENANTS

Section 6.01. Conduct of Business Prior to the Closing. From the Signing Date until the Closing, except as expressly provided in this Agreement or consented to in writing by Buyer, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company to: (a) conduct the Business in the ordinary course of business; and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and preserve intact the current organization, the Business and franchise of the Company and to preserve the rights, franchises, goodwill and relationships of its employees, customers, lenders, suppliers, regulators and others having business relationships with the Company. From the Signing Date until the Closing Date, except as consented to in writing by Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to the matters set forth in clauses (f), (g), (i), (j), (l), (p), (r) or (t) of Section 4.07), Seller shall not cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to take any action that would cause any of the changes, events or conditions described in Section 4.07 to occur.

Section 6.02. Access to Information. From the Signing Date until the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to: (a) afford Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to and the right to inspect all of the Real Property, properties, assets, premises, books and records, contracts, agreements, insurance arrangements and outstanding claims and other documents and data related to the Company; (b) furnish Buyer and its Representatives with such financial, operating and other data and information related to the Company as Buyer or any of its Representatives may reasonably request; and (c) instruct the Representatives of Seller and the Company to cooperate with Buyer in its investigation of the Company; provided, however, that any such investigation shall be conducted during normal business hours upon reasonable advance notice to Seller, under the supervision of Seller’s personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of the Company. All requests by Buyer for access pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall be submitted or directed exclusively to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or such other individuals as Seller may designate in writing from time to time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Seller nor the Company shall be required to disclose any information to Buyer if such disclosure would, in Seller’s good faith judgment: (i) cause significant competitive harm to Seller, the Company and their respective businesses if the Transactions are not consummated; (ii) jeopardize any attorney-client or other privilege; or (iii) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into prior to the Signing Date. Prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld for any reason, Buyer shall not contact any suppliers to, or customers of, the Company and Buyer shall have no right to perform invasive or subsurface investigations of the Real Property.

Section 6.03. Disclosure Schedules.

(a) The Disclosure Schedules delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall qualify this Agreement. Descriptions of terms or documents summarized in the Disclosure Schedules shall be qualified in their entirety by the documents themselves.

(b) From time to time prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules hereto with respect to any matter arising after the Signing Date and of which Seller did not have Knowledge prior to the Signing Date other than in respect of the Fundamental Representations (each a “Schedule Supplement”). After Buyer’s receipt of any Schedule Supplement, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with any information reasonably requested by Buyer with respect to the disclosure in the Schedule Supplement. Within 30 days following Buyer’s receipt of a Schedule Supplement where the disclosed matter could reasonably be expected to result, in Buyer’s good faith judgment, in a Loss to the Company exceeding $1.0 million and where Seller has not notified Buyer in connection with such Schedule Supplement that Seller will pay in full or expressly assume responsibility for any Losses resulting from such Schedule Supplement (which period may be extended prior to the expiration of the 30-day period by up to 15 days by written notice by Buyer to Seller if Buyer determines in good faith that it needs additional time to assess the disclosure in the Schedule Supplement), Buyer will have the right to terminate this Agreement in its sole discretion as a result of such Schedule Supplement (whether or not such Schedule Supplement constitutes or would reasonably be expected to constitute a Material Adverse Effect or result in a failure of one of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02). If Buyer does not exercise its termination right within such 30-day period (as it may be extended), Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article X before the Outside Date as a result of the Schedule Supplement and Buyer shall be entitled to seek indemnification in respect of the matters set forth in the Schedule Supplement in accordance with Section 9.02, but only to the extent the aggregate of all Losses relating to the Schedule Supplement exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate (the “Schedule Supplement Threshold”); provided that any Losses relating to the Schedule Supplement that exceed the Schedule Supplement Threshold shall remain and be subject to the limitations on indemnity set forth in Section 9.04(b), (c) and (d) (but not the first three sentences of Section 9.04(a)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein the Parties acknowledge and agree that the dollar amounts referenced in this Section 6.03(b) and the Schedule Supplement Threshold shall not be deemed to in any manner establish or create any standard of materiality for the Transaction Documents or any of the Transactions, including with respect to determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.02 has been satisfied.

(c) All Section headings in the Disclosure Schedules correspond to the Sections of this Agreement, but information provided in any Section of the Disclosure Schedules shall constitute disclosure for purposes of each Section of this Agreement to the extent that the relevance or applicability of the information disclosed to the representation, warranty or covenant is reasonably apparent on its face.

Section 6.04. Resignations. Seller shall deliver to Buyer written resignations, effective as of the Closing Date, of the officers and managers of the Company requested by Buyer at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing.

Section 6.05. Confidentiality.

(a) Confidential Information. Each party hereto acknowledges that it has or may have had in the past, currently has, and in the future may have, access to Confidential Information of the other parties hereto and their Affiliates. Each party hereto agrees that it will keep confidential all Confidential Information of the other party furnished to or otherwise available to it and, except with the specific prior written consent of the owner of such Confidential Information, will not disclose such Confidential Information to any Person. The provisions of this Section 6.05(a) shall not apply to the disclosure or use of any information, documents or materials (i) which are or become generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by the receiving party or any Affiliate or Representative of the receiving party in violation of this Section 6.05(a), (ii) received from a third Person on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the providing party or its representatives, which source, to the knowledge of the receiving party, is not prohibited from disclosing such information to the receiving party by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation to the providing party, (iii) required by applicable Law to be disclosed by such party (provided that the receiving party if permissible under applicable Law shall give reasonable advance written notice to the disclosing party of any such required disclosure so that an appropriate protective order may be sought) or (iv) necessary to establish such party’s rights under this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents. Each party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.05(a) by their respective Representatives.

(b) Injunction. Because of (i) the difficulty of measuring economic losses as a result of the breach of the foregoing covenants in this Section 6.05 and (ii) the immediate and irreparable damage that might be caused to a party for which it would have no other adequate remedy, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by another party of the provisions of this Section 6.05 with respect to any Confidential Information, each party will be entitled to an injunction restraining the other parties from disclosing, in whole or in part, that Confidential Information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the enjoining party from pursuing any other available remedy for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.

Section 6.06. Regulatory Matters and Cooperation.

(a) Each of Buyer, Seller and the Company will give any notices to, make any filings with, and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any authorizations, consents and approvals of any Governmental Authorities which are necessary to consummate the Transactions, including any filings required under the HSR Act in accordance with Section 6.06(c). Buyer, Seller and the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to comply as promptly as practicable with any requests made for any additional information in connection with such filings or actions.

(b) Subject to compliance with applicable Law (including antitrust and Gaming Laws), from the Signing Date until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall confer on a reasonable basis with one or more Representatives of the other party to report on the general status of ongoing operations of the Company and the Biloxi Property. Seller will cooperate with Buyer and its Representatives in transitioning

insurance arrangements of the Company as of the Closing, including appointing Buyer’s insurance broker as an “agent of record” at least 90 days prior to the Closing. Seller, Buyer and their respective Affiliates shall promptly notify each other in writing of, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cure before the Closing Date, any event, transaction or circumstance, as soon as practical after it becomes known to such party, that causes or will cause any covenant or agreement of Seller, the Company or of Buyer under this Agreement to be breached in any material respect or that renders or will render untrue in any material respect any representation or warranty of Seller or of Buyer contained in this Agreement. Nothing contained in Section 6.01 hereof shall prevent Seller from giving such notice, using such efforts or taking any action to cure or curing any such event, transaction or circumstance. No notice given pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall have any effect on the representations or warranties, or the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement other than this Section 6.06 for purposes of determining satisfaction of any condition contained herein.

(c) Each of Buyer and Seller will (i) within five Business Days following satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 8.01(e), take all actions necessary to make the filings required of Buyer and Seller or their respective Affiliates under the HSR Act, (ii) comply at the earliest practicable date with any request for additional information received by Buyer or Seller or their respective Affiliates from the Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice pursuant to the HSR Act, and (iii) reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the other party’s filing under the HSR Act and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry concerning the Transactions commenced by either the Federal Trade Commission or the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice or state attorneys general.

Section 6.07. Destruction of Chips. If required pursuant to the Gaming Laws, Seller shall, at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing, or such other period as specifically authorized by the applicable Gaming Authorities, submit for approval to all applicable Gaming Authorities a plan for the redemption and destruction of all chips, tokens and plaquemines at the Biloxi Property. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate with each other in effectuating the plan that is approved by the Gaming Authorities.

Section 6.08. Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) During the period commencing at the Closing and ending on the date which is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, but in no event later than December 31, 2014 (or if earlier, the date of the employee’s termination of employment with the Company or any Company Subsidiary), Buyer will, or will cause the Company or a Company Subsidiary to, provide each employee who remains employed by the Company or a Company Subsidiary immediately after the Closing (each a “Company Continuing Employee”) with: (i) base salary or hourly wages which are no less than the base salary or hourly wages provided by the Company or a Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing; (ii) target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation), if any, which are no less than the target bonus opportunities (excluding equity-based compensation) provided by the Company or a Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing (expressed as a percentage of base salary); (iii) eligibility for retirement and welfare programs (other than pension or retiree welfare arrangements) that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate than those provided by the

Company or a Company Subsidiary immediately prior to the Closing; and (iv) severance benefits that are no less favorable than the Company or a Company Subsidiary practice, plan or policy in effect for such Company Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing. Not later than twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date, Buyer will provide written notice to Seller of the names of the individuals whose employment will be terminated prior to the Closing such that they will not be Company Continuing Employees (collectively, the “Non-Continuing Employees”). Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will terminate the employment of each of the Non-Continuing Employees. Except as expressly required under Section 6.08(a) and 6.08(f), nothing in this Agreement or otherwise will require Buyer, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates to establish or maintain any particular compensation or benefit arrangement.

(b) With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Buyer or its subsidiaries in which any Company Continuing Employees will participate effective as of the Closing (collectively, “Buyer Benefit Plans”), (i) Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to waive or cause to be waived all limitations with respect to pre-existing condition exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, and waiting periods for each Buyer Benefit Plan that is a group health plan, and (ii) Buyer will, or will cause the Company or a Company Subsidiary to, recognize all service of such participating Company Continuing Employee with the Company or a Company Subsidiary, as the case may be, as if such service were with Buyer, for vesting and eligibility purposes in any Parent Benefit Plan; provided, however, that such service will not be recognized to the extent that (x) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits, (y) such service was not recognized under a corresponding Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing, or (z) such recognition would otherwise apply to benefit accrual under any defined benefit plan.

(c) This Section 6.08 will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.08, express or implied, will confer upon any other Person (including any current, former or future employee or other service provider of Seller, Buyer, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates) any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, will be construed to establish, amend, modify or terminate any compensation or benefit plan, program, policy, Contract, fund or arrangement. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 6.08 will not create any right in any employee or any other Person to any continued employment or service with the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, or to any compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever.

(d) Buyer will, or will cause the Company or a Company Subsidiary to, provide any required notice under the WARN Act and otherwise comply with the WARN Act with respect to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as defined in the WARN Act) or group termination affecting Company Continuing Employees occurring during the 90-day period from and after the Closing. Buyer will not, and will not permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to, take any action on or after the Closing Date that would cause any termination of employment of any employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary occurring prior to the Closing to constitute a “plant closing,” “mass layoff” or group termination under the WARN Act. Seller

will notify Buyer of any layoffs or other terminations of any employees of the Company or any Company Subsidiary that occur during the 90-day period prior to the Closing.

(e) After the Closing Date, the Benefit Plans, and any Buyer Benefit Plans replacing any Benefit Plans, will have exclusive responsibility for the provision of health care continuation coverage required under COBRA with respect to any “qualified beneficiaries” within the meaning of Section 4980B of the Code who are or were employees of the Company or a Company Subsidiary and who have or have had a “qualifying event” within the meaning of Section 4980B(f) of the Code under such plans, including such qualified beneficiaries who previously elected to receive continuation coverage under the Benefit Plans or who between the Signing Date and the Closing Date elect to receive continuation coverage.

(f) Buyer will, or will cause the Company to, continue to maintain the Management and Supervisory Incentive Plan for the remainder of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, but in no event later than December 31, 2014, with bonuses to be paid to each of the Company’s employees participating thereunder on a basis consistent with the past practices of the Company (including making any payments due to be paid thereunder after the Closing Date based on actual Company performance during the performance periods that ended prior to the Closing Date, which bonus amounts are listed on Section 6.08(f) of the Disclosure Schedules).

Section 6.09. Governmental Approvals and Other Third-Party Consents.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Buyer and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use their respective reasonable best efforts and cooperate with the other parties hereto to use their respective reasonable best efforts to (i) as promptly as practicable, take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary under applicable Law to consummate and make effective the Transactions as promptly as practicable, (ii) obtain from any Governmental Authorities any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations or orders required to be obtained by Seller, the Company, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, as applicable, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii), in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, and (iii) make all necessary filings, as applicable, and thereafter make any other required submissions with respect to this Agreement, as required in order to obtain all Government Approvals.

(b) The parties hereto and their respective Representatives and Affiliates shall (i) in reasonable consultation, and in no event later than 20 Business Days after the Signing Date, file all required initial applications and documents in connection with obtaining the Governmental Approvals (including under applicable Gaming Laws), (ii) act diligently to pursue the Governmental Approvals, and (iii) cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all filings referenced in the preceding sentence, including providing copies of material documents other than finding of suitability applications to the other party and its advisors prior to filing such documents, and if requested, accepting the reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith. Each of Buyer and Seller and any applicable Affiliate shall use its reasonable best efforts to schedule and attend any hearings or meetings with Governmental Authorities to obtain the Governmental Approvals as promptly as reasonably

practicable. Seller and its counsel shall have reasonable notice of and an opportunity to participate in the initial meeting between Buyer and the Mississippi Gaming Commission following the Signing Date. Seller and its counsel shall have reasonable notice of and, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment an opportunity to participate in, all other meetings and other proceedings between Buyer and Governmental Authorities regarding the Governmental Approvals. Buyer and Seller shall have the right to review in advance and, in each case, to the extent practicable and permitted by applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information (including the HSR Act and the Gaming Laws), each party will consult with the other parties hereto regarding all the information relating to Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions; provided that Buyer shall not be required to provide finding of suitability applications for Seller’s review. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties will notify each other promptly of the receipt of comments or requests from Governmental Authorities relating to any Governmental Approvals (other than finding of suitability applications) and will supply the other parties with copies of all correspondence between the notifying party or any of its Representatives and Governmental Authorities with respect to Governmental Approvals (other than finding of suitability applications). Notwithstanding anything contained above to the contrary, if and to the extent reasonably necessary to preserve the confidentiality of sensitive business information or legal privilege, copies of documents shall only be provided (i) to the other party’s outside counsel or (ii) on a redacted basis.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Buyer’s undertaking pursuant to this Section 6.09, Buyer agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to close the Transactions as promptly as possible, provided that such efforts will not include proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any Proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the Transactions. In addition, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Governmental Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the consummation of the Closing.

(d) Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all consents from, all third parties that are required to consummate the Transactions, including in connection with the Financing; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to pay any consideration therefor to any third party from whom consent or approval is requested.

Section 6.10. Required Consent of HR Licensing.

(a) Buyer acknowledges, agrees and understands that Seller’s transfer and sale of the LLC Interests and the related rights to operating the Business as a Hard Rock Hotel and

Section 6.18. Risk of Loss Relating to Real Property.

(a) If there shall occur any Casualty Event with respect to any part of the Biloxi Property prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such fact and the scope of loss and Seller’s estimate of the cost to repair and/or replace the portions of the Biloxi Property damaged or destroyed by such Casualty Event, net of all reasonably anticipated proceeds under the Insurance Policies to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.18(c) (such costs, as may be revised from time to time, the “Casualty Repair Costs”).

(b) Buyer shall be bound to consummate the Transactions as required by the terms hereof without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage or destruction with respect to the Biloxi Property as a result of a Casualty Event that constitutes a Buyer Accepted Casualty Event. For the avoidance of doubt, a Buyer Accepted Casualty Event shall not constitute a Material Adverse Effect for purposes of this Agreement.

(c) With respect to any Casualty Event that occurs prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall pay Buyer the amount of (i) if the restoration, replacement or repair of the Biloxi Property damaged as a result of such Casualty Loss is not completed as of the Closing Date (which date shall be determined subject to Seller’s rights to extend the Outside Date), any casualty insurance proceeds collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction less any sums expended by or on behalf of Seller or the Company toward the restoration or repair of the Biloxi Property damaged by such Casualty Event prior to the Closing Date plus the amount of any insurance deductibles or Seller retention amounts and (ii) any business interruption insurance proceeds that have been paid to Seller with respect to such casualty loss and which are applicable for periods occurring on or after the Closing Date.

Prior to the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to, effective as of the Closing, on terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller, (a) terminate or cause to be terminated all Contracts with Related Parties of Seller (including the termination of, and payment of all Indebtedness of the Company under, the Contracts set forth on Schedule 6.19(a) of the Disclosure Schedules), (b) terminate or cause to be terminated, or cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to be substituted in all respects for Seller

and any of its Affiliates (other than the Company) (each, a “Released Party” and collectively, the “Released Parties”) in respect of all liabilities of the Released Parties under, each guarantee of or relating to liabilities (including under any Material Contract, Contract or letter of credit) of the Company listed on Section 6.19(b) of the Disclosure Schedules (“Guarantees”), and (c) cause Buyer or one of its Affiliates to have surety bonds (and any necessary collateral, indemnity or other agreements associated therewith) issued on behalf of Buyer or one of its Affiliates in replacement of all surety bonds (and all collateral, indemnity and other agreements associated therewith) issued on behalf of the Released Parties for the benefit of the Company listed on Section 6.19(c) of the Disclosure Schedules (the “Surety Bonds”). In the case of the failure to do so by the Closing, then, Seller and Buyer shall continue to cooperate and use their respective commercially reasonable efforts as described in the preceding sentence, and Buyer shall (x) indemnify the Released Parties for any and all liabilities arising from such Guarantees and Surety Bonds and (y) not permit the Company or its Affiliates to (A) renew or extend the term of, (B) amend or waive any provision of, (C) increase its obligations under, or (D) transfer to another third party, any Contract or letter of credit or other liability for which any Released Party is or would be liable under such Guarantee or Surety Bond. To the extent that any Released Party has performance obligations under any such Guarantee or Surety Bond, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to (I) fully perform or cause to be fully performed such obligations on behalf of such Released Party or (II) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by Seller so as to place such Released Party in the same position as if Buyer, and not such Released Party, had performed or was performing such obligations.

Section 6.20. No Control. Without limiting the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6.01, prior to the Closing, (i) Buyer shall not directly or indirectly control, supervise, direct or interfere with, or attempt to control, supervise, direct or interfere with, the operation of the Business at the Biloxi Property and (ii) the operations and affairs of the Biloxi Property shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and its Affiliates and shall be under the Company’s sole and complete control.

Section 6.21. Title Insurance.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Seller and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to obtain (i) one or more commitments for title insurance (the “Title Commitment”), issued by the title company that previously issued title insurance for the Owned Real Property or another title insurance company selected by Buyer, for the issuance of the Title Policy and (ii) an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey in a form satisfying the requirements of the Financing (the “Survey”) of the Owned Real Property and the Material Ground Leased Property, and shall cause a copy of the Title Commitment and Survey to be delivered to Seller as soon as reasonably practicable after the Signing Date, but in any case within 90 days after the Signing Date and not less than 30 days prior to the Closing Date. The Title Commitment shall list as exceptions all Encumbrances and other exceptions to title affecting title to the Owned Real Property or the Material Ground Leased Property (collectively, the “Title Exceptions”) and include copies of all instruments creating such Title Exceptions. Buyer shall bear the cost and expense of the Title Commitment, Title Policy and Survey, including any cancellation fees resulting from termination of this Agreement.

(b) Buyer shall review the Title Commitment and Survey, including copies of all instruments creating Title Exceptions in the Title Commitments. Within twenty (20) days after receiving the Title Commitment and Survey, Buyer shall provide Seller with a written notice of objection to (i) any Title Exception that is not a Permitted Encumbrance and (ii) any Title Exception disclosed on the Survey, regardless of whether a Permitted Encumbrance, if such Permitted Encumbrance would materially detract from the use, operation or financeability of the Owned Real Property or the Material Ground Leased Property or cause additional exceptions to be taken with respect to the coverage provided under the Owner Title Policy or the Lender Title Policy for the Financing (including the endorsements thereto) (each, a “Title Objection”), and Seller may at its option and in its sole and absolute discretion elect to attempt to cure, remove or otherwise satisfy any such Title Objections. Seller shall be required, as a condition to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to the Closing, (i) to remove or have removed from title all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, including any Encumbrances evidencing or securing any Indebtedness on the Owned Real Property and (ii) to deliver to the title company issuing the Title Policy such affidavits, certificates, consents or other evidence of authority as such title company may require as a condition to the issuance of the Title Policy. If considered reasonably necessary or desirable by Buyer in connection with the Financing and requested by Buyer in writing prior to Closing, Seller will (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as soon as reasonably practicable (provided that obtaining such order shall not be required to be completed before Closing, or to satisfy any of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.02) a final and nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction vacating the condominium plat and declarations with respect to that part of the Owned Real Property currently subject to that certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, as amended, of the Windjammer Condominium, and vesting fee simple title to such Owned Real Property in the Company or the Company Subsidiaries and (ii) provide such affidavits, certificates or indemnities as such title company may require in order to remove as Title Exceptions under the Title Policy (A) all Permitted Encumbrances identified with an asterisk (“*”) on Section 1.01(a) of the Disclosure Schedules and (B) any other Mechanics’ Liens with respect to work performed or materials supplied prior to the Closing Date, regardless whether such Mechanics’ Liens are Permitted Encumbrances.

(c) In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such Title Objection at or prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have the right to close over the Title Objection(s) and, at Buyer’s option, seek indemnification against Seller for all Losses related to resolving any Title Objection(s).

Section 6.22. Non-Solicitation. During the two years immediately following the Closing Date, Seller will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, employ, retain, solicit or entice away any employee, director or officer of the Company; provided that Seller and its Affiliates may engage in general solicitations not specifically directed at any such persons. If any provision contained in this Section 6.22 shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section, but this Section shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by Law, or in any way constructed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of

no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Law. Seller acknowledges that Buyer would be irreparably harmed by any breach of this Section and that there would be no adequate remedy under Law or in damages to compensate Buyer for any such breach. Seller agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief requiring specific performance by Seller of this Section, and Seller consents to the entry thereof.

Section 6.23. Financing.

(a) Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitment, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitment, (ii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Financing consistent with the terms and conditions contained in the Financing Commitment (any such agreements, the “Definitive Debt Agreements”), (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions within Buyer’s control in the Financing Commitments or the Definitive Debt Agreements, as applicable, and comply with its obligations thereunder, and (iv) upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing. Buyer will have the right from time to time to amend, modify or replace the Financing Commitment; provided, that Buyer will not, without the prior written consent of Seller, agree to, or permit, any amendment, modification or replacement of, or waiver under, the Financing Commitment or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing Commitment if such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver would (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing or (B) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise adversely expand or amend any of the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Financing as set forth in the Financing Commitment that, when considered with the other conditions taken as a whole, would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Financing or the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement or make the funding of the Financing less likely to occur or adversely impact the ability of the Buyer to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitment or the definitive documents with respect thereto; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may amend the Financing Commitment to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed Financing Commitment as of the Signing Date if the addition of such parties, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the consummation of the Financing or the Closing.

(b) If, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Buyer to satisfy its obligations under Section 6.23(a), any portion of the Financing is terminated or expires or otherwise becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions specified in the Financing Commitment or the Definitive Debt Agreements, Buyer will promptly notify Seller and will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from the same and/or alternative sources on terms and conditions not less favorable, taken as a whole, to Buyer (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Buyer), than those contained in the Financing Commitment (“Alternative Financing”), upon terms and conditions which would not have any

of the effects specified in clauses (A) or (B) of Section 6.23(a) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event.

(c) Buyer will keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and to satisfy the conditions thereof, including (i) giving Seller prompt written notice of any material adverse change with respect to the Financing, including if at any time the Financing Commitment expires or is terminated for any reason or if any financing source party to the Financing Commitment notifies Buyer that such source no longer intends to provide financing to Buyer on the terms set forth therein, and (ii) upon Seller’s reasonable request, advising and updating Seller, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to status and proposed funding date. For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Financing” and “Definitive Debt Agreements” will include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitment as permitted by this Section 6.23 to be amended, modified or replaced and references to “Financing Commitment” will include such documents as permitted by this Section 6.23 to be amended, modified or replaced, in each case from and after such amendment, modification, or replacement.

(d) Seller will, and will cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Financing, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, including (i) furnishing Buyer and the Financing Sources with such financial and other pertinent information regarding the Company as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or its Financing Sources, including an audited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of income and cash flows for the three fiscal years of the Company ended at least 90 days prior to the Closing Date and an unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of income and cash flows for each fiscal quarter of the Company ended after the close of its most recent fiscal year and at least 45 days prior to the Closing Date (and updates thereto, as reasonably requested by such Persons and as is customarily included in information memoranda and other marketing materials used to syndicate credit facilities for senior secured indebtedness, the “Required Information”), (ii) participating 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 senior management, representatives or advisors, with appropriate seniority and expertise, of the Company), attending presentations and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Financing, and assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, prospective lender presentations, bank information memoranda and similar documents required in connection with the Financing, (iii) obtaining legal opinions and solvency certificates as reasonably requested by Buyer as necessary and customary for financings similar to the Debt Financing, (iv) using reasonable efforts to assist in the preparation of a customary confidential information memorandum for the Financing, other customary marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndication by the lead arranger of the Financing and appropriate and customary materials for rating agency presentations, (v) consulting with Buyer in connection with the negotiation of and executing such definitive financing documents and agreements and such other customary documents (including officers certificates) as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, (vi) facilitating the pledging of collateral, (vii) using reasonable efforts to obtain customary payoff letters and customary instruments of discharge and termination in full of all Indebtedness and Encumbrances, as are required as a condition to the Closing and as reasonably requested by Buyer, (viii) using reasonable best efforts to obtain attorney audit response letters

reasonably requested by Buyer and customary for financings similar to the Financing, (ix) providing customary authorization letters to the Financing Sources (including with respect to the absence of material non-public information about the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their securities in the public-side version of the documents distributed to prospective lenders), (x) agreeing to enter into such agreements and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such officer’s certificates as are customary in financings of such type and otherwise grant liens on the assets of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries pursuant to such agreements as may be reasonably requested, and (xi) providing at least ten Business Days prior to the Closing Date all documentation and other information about the Company as is required by the Financing Sources with respect to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including the USA PATRIOT Act; provided, that, in each case, that the Company shall not be required to enter into any agreement, document or instrument that is not contingent upon the Closing. The foregoing notwithstanding, (A) no obligation of Seller, the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives undertaken or under any certificate, document or instrument executed pursuant to the foregoing shall be effective until the Closing and (B) none of Seller, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other cost or expense that is not simultaneously reimbursed by Buyer. Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless Seller, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information used in connection therewith. All non-public or other confidential information provided by or on behalf of any Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 6.23 will be kept confidential in accordance with Section 6.05, except that Buyer will be permitted to disclose such information to potential Financing Sources, Governmental Authorities and rating agencies during syndication of the Financing, subject to the potential sources of capital, such prospective Financing Sources being informed by Buyer of the obligations of confidentiality relating to Representatives of Buyer and agreeing to maintain the confidentiality thereof.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the Transactions are not contingent on Buyer’s ability to obtain Financing (including any alternate financing contemplated by Section 6.23) or any specific amount or terms with respect to such Financing.

(f) To the extent required in connection with the Financing, the Company hereby consents to the use of its logos solely for the purpose of obtaining the Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of their respective Intellectual Property rights.

INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.01. Survival. Subject to the limitations and other provisions of this Agreement, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and shall remain in full force and effect until the date that is 15 months from the Determination Date. None of the covenants or other agreements set forth in Sections 6.02, 6.04, 6.06, 6.09, 6.10, 6.12, 6.15 and 6.23 shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in

good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of such survival period and such claims shall survive until finally resolved.

Section 9.02. Indemnification By Seller. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company after the Closing) (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) against, and shall hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnified Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement;

(b) any Transaction Expenses or Indebtedness of the Company or any Company Subsidiary not paid as of the Closing Date;

(c) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) any and all (i) Pre-Closing Taxes; (ii) Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which the Company or any Company Subsidiary (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or non-U.S. law or regulation; and (iii) Taxes of any Person (other than the Company or any Company Subsidiary) imposed on the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a transferee or successor, by Contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing;

(e) any liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries), including in respect of any claim made by any former holder of any Equity Securities of Seller; or

(f) any liability of the Buyer Indemnified Parties related to any claim (i) asserted by or against any officer or director of the Company with respect to the period in which they held such office prior to the Closing Date that either would be or is asserted to be indemnifiable by the Company pursuant to the indemnification provisions of the Organizational Documents of the Company or (ii) that would be or is asserted to be a covered claim under any of the Insurance Policies set forth, or required to be set forth, in Item 2 of Section 4.14 of the Disclosure Schedules with respect to an event occurring prior to the Closing Date (assuming such Insurance Policies would have remained in effect after the Closing Date and the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the other Persons covered under any of such Insurance Policies as of the Signing Date would have continued to be covered by such Insurance Policies after the Closing Date).

Section 9.03. Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article IX and Section 10.03(d), Buyer shall indemnify Seller against, and shall hold Seller

harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement;

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or

(c) (c) except to the extent attributable to a breach of any representations or warranties in Article IV, any and all Post-Closing Taxes.

Section 9.04. Certain Limitations on Indemnity. The party making a claim under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article IX is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”. The indemnification provided for in Section 9.02 and Section 9.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 9.02(a), in the case of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or Section 9.03(a), in the case of Seller, exceeds $1.0 million (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible. With respect to any claim as to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a), as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed $10,000 (which Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible). The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a) as the case may be, shall not exceed $30.0 million (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Deductible and Cap shall not apply to indemnification claims made by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.02(a) and Section 9.03(a) with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties in Section 4.01 (Organization and Authority of Seller), Section 4.02 (Organization and Authority of Company), Section 4.03 (Capitalization), Section 4.04 (Subsidiaries), Section 4.09(a) (Tangible Personal Property), Section 4.11 (Condition of Assets), Section 4.23 (Brokers), or Section 5.01 (Organization and Authority of Buyer) (collectively the “Fundamental Representations”); provided, however, that with respect to breaches of such Fundamental Representations, and breaches of covenants and agreements hereunder, in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses recovered by an Indemnified Party pursuant to a breach of such Fundamental Representations, covenants and agreements hereunder, together with the amount of all other Losses recovered under Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.03(a), as applicable, exceed the Purchase Price.

(b) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 in respect of any Losses shall be limited to the amount of any Losses that remain after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment

received by the Indemnified Party (or the Company) in respect of any such claim, less the out-of-pocket costs incurred in recovering any such amounts.

(c) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 in respect of any Losses shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit that results in an actual reduction in cash Taxes payable of the Indemnified Party in the Tax period of the Loss, calculated on a with or without basis, and treating Tax items attributable to the Loss as the last Tax items claimed for the relevant Tax period. For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not provide the Indemnifying Party the right to examine the Tax Returns of the Indemnified Party.

(d) Following the Closing, each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Losses upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs, but only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Losses.

Section 9.05. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel reasonably acceptable to Buyer, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, subject to Section 9.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend or fails to take reasonable steps to defend such Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 9.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim, including its costs of defense. Seller and

Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.11) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 9.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to or having any post-settlement effect on the Indemnified Party’s business or operations, the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party, which notice shall include all copies of all substantial settlement papers. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 9.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such

claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 9.06. Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 9.07. Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 12.10, the parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX. In furtherance of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX. Nothing in this Section 9.07 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 12.10 or limit or constitute a waiver of a party’s rights with respect to claims against a Person to the extent they arise out of or based on claims of actual fraud knowingly committed by such Person or its Representatives.

In consideration thereof, Seller, Seller Parent and the Company hereby waive any and all rights or additional remedies that may otherwise be available to them, at Law or in equity, as a result of the failure of the Closing to occur or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or the failure of the Transactions to be consummated.

Section 12.03. Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.04. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 12.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any inconsistency between the statements in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules (other than an exception expressly set forth as such in the Disclosure Schedules), the statements in the body of this Agreement will control.

Section 12.06. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to its Financing Sources as collateral security for the Financing or assign its rights and delegate its obligations to any subsidiary of Buyer. No assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 12.07. No Third-party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article IX, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided that the Financing Sources shall be third party beneficiaries of Sections 12.06, 12.07, 12.08, 12.09 and 12.10.

Section 12.08. Amendment and Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may only be amended, modified or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each party hereto. No

waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No amendment to Sections 12.06, 12.07, 12.08, 12.09 and 12.10 shall be made without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

Section 12.09. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE FINANCING) IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (II) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12.09(b).

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) none of Seller and any of its respective Representatives or Affiliates shall have any rights or claims against any Financing Source or any of the respective former, current or future Affiliate or Representatives of the Financing Sources (collectively, the “Financing Parties”) in connection with this Agreement or the Financing, and no Financing Party shall have any rights or claims against any of Seller or any of its respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Financing, in each case whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided, that, following the Closing Date, the foregoing shall not limit the rights of the Financing Parties under any Financing, and (ii) without prejudice to clause (i) above, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law jurisdiction is vested in Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (or appellate courts thereof), and that the provisions of Section 12.09(b) relating to the waiver of jury trial shall apply to any such action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim.

Section 12.10. Specific Performance. Subject to the provisions of Section 10.03(d) and Section 12.09(c), the parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relieve to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Section 12.11. Mutual Drafting. Each party hereto has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of good faith negotiations between the parties. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 12.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement.

ARTICLE XIII.

GUARANTY

Section 13.01. Seller Parent Guaranty.

(a) Seller Parent hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees (except for any conditions contained in this Section 13.01) to Buyer the payment and performance when due of all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of any kind, nature and description of Seller and

Seller’s successors and assigns under this Agreement. Seller Parent hereby expressly waives any requirement that Buyer exhaust any right or take any action against Seller. In determining when payment, performance or discharge of obligation by Seller Parent is due, and the amount thereof, there shall be taken into account any defenses or limitations to such payment, performance or discharge, and any rights, remedies, counterclaims, reductions and set-offs Seller Parent or Seller may have under this Agreement. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely of collection. Seller Parent’s obligations under this Section 13.01 are irrevocable. Seller Parent agrees that Buyer may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of Seller Parent, extend the time of payment of any of the obligations under this Section 13.01, and may also enter into any agreement with Seller for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms of this Agreement or of any agreement between Seller and Buyer without in any way impairing or affecting Seller Parent’s obligations under this Agreement. Seller Parent agrees that the obligations of Seller Parent under this Section 13.01 shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure of Buyer to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Seller or any other Person interested in the Transactions, (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the obligations or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement made in accordance with the terms thereof or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the obligations under this Section 13.01, (c) the addition, substitution or release of any entity or other Person interested in the Transactions, (d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Seller Parent or any other Person interested in the Transactions, (e) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Seller or any other Person interested in the Transactions, (f) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which Seller Parent may have at any time against the Buyer, whether in connection with the obligations under this Section 13.01 or otherwise (other than as specifically set forth in this Section 13.01), or (g) the adequacy of any other means Buyer may have of obtaining repayment of any of the obligations under this Section 13.01.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Seller Parent hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by Buyer. Seller Parent waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Section 13.01 and of the obligations under this Section 13.01, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any obligations under this Section 13.01 incurred and all other notices of any kind (except for notices to be provided to Seller, Seller Parent and its counsel in accordance with this Agreement or applicable Law), all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Seller Parent or any other Person interested in the Transactions, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than defenses to the payment of the obligations that are available to Seller Parent or Seller under this Agreement). Seller Parent acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Transactions and that the waivers set forth in this Section 13.01 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Seller Parent acknowledges and agrees that all provisions of this Agreement shall apply for all purposes of interpreting and enforcing the provisions of this Section 13.01.
