The parties hereto agree that changes from earlier drafts to the final version of this Agreement do not necessarily imply that the party agreeing to such change is agreeing to a change in meaning (as the party agreeing to such change may believe the change is stylistic and non-substantive); consequently, no presumption should exist by virtue of a change from a prior draft.

(a) all Liabilities arising from and after the Closing Date relating to the Transferred Assets;

(b) subject to Section 2.4, (i) all Liabilities arising under the Designated Contracts incurred at or after the Closing and (ii) all of the Determined Cure Costs;

(c) all Taxes for which Purchaser is liable pursuant to this Agreement;

(d) [intentionally omitted];

16

including, without limitation, (a) all Liabilities related to Excluded Assets and (b) all Liabilities of Seller for infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a third party’s rights in such third party’s Intellectual Property or Software (all such Liabilities not being assumed herein, collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”).

2.5 Excluded Contracts. Pursuant to Section 5.3(b), Purchaser shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, by written notice to the Seller delivered on or before the Closing Date, to elect not to purchase or assume one or more Assigned Contracts, in which case, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any Related Document or the Sale Order to the contrary, such Assigned Contract shall be considered an excluded contract (“Excluded Contract”) (and shall constitute an Excluded Asset and not be included in the Transferred Assets) for all purposes of this Agreement and Purchaser shall not have any obligation to satisfy or pay any Cure Costs or other Liabilities with respect to such Excluded Contract. Each assignable Assigned Contract that Purchaser does not elect to remove from the list of Assigned Contracts pursuant to Section 5.3(b) shall be an Assigned Contract.

2.6 Non-Transferred Asset.

(a)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Transferred Asset or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the Consent of a third party (including any Governmental Authority) (after giving effect to the Sale Order or any other applicable order of the Bankruptcy Court that effects such transfer without any required Consents), would constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Applicable Law (each, a “Non-Transferred Asset”); provided that none of the Designated Patents shall constitute a Non-Transferred Asset.

(b) If, on the Closing Date, any third-party Consent is not obtained for a Non-Transferred Asset, or if an attempted transfer or assignment thereof would be ineffective or a violation of Applicable Law, then, until any requisite consent is obtained therefor and the same is transferred and assigned to Purchaser or its designee, each such Non-Transferred Asset shall be held by the Seller as agent for the Purchaser, and the Seller shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, provide to Purchaser the benefits and Purchaser shall assume the obligations and bear the economic burdens associated with such Non-Transferred Asset. The Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into agreements (including subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing, if permitted) by which (i) the Seller shall, at Purchaser’s sole expense, without interruption of the Business, provide Purchaser with the economic and operational equivalent of obtaining the requisite third-party Consent and assigning the applicable Non-Transferred Asset to Purchaser (including, with the prior written consent of Purchaser, enforcing for the benefit of Purchaser, and at Purchaser’s sole expense, all claims or rights arising thereunder) and (ii) Purchaser shall perform, at its sole expense, the obligations and assume the economic burdens of the Seller to be performed after the Closing with respect to such Non-Transferred Asset. Purchaser shall promptly, upon receipt of a written request therefor from the Seller, reimburse the Seller for all monies paid by the Seller on Purchaser’s behalf in connection with any Assumed Liability not assigned or transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.6. If Purchaser determines that the requisite third-party Consent cannot be obtained on terms reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser withing thirty (30) days after the Closing, Purchaser may on notice to the Seller designate the applicable Non-Transferred Asset as an Excluded Asset or Excluded Contract, as applicable.

17

2.7 Closing. The closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) will take place remotely by electronic exchange of documents on the date (the “Closing Date”) that is the second (2^nd) Business Day after the date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article 8 (excluding conditions that, by their terms, are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all such conditions at the Closing), have been satisfied or waived by the party hereto entitled to the benefit of the same, unless another time or date is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto, provided, however, that the Closing Date shall not be earlier than December 30, 2024, without the written consent of Purchaser. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties hereto at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken and executed simultaneously and no proceedings will be deemed to have been taken nor documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered.

2.9 Purchase Price; Assumed Liabilities; Deposits.

(a) At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, in full consideration for the sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and delivery of the Transferred Assets to Purchaser and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Purchaser, Purchaser shall (i) pay to the Seller an aggregate amount equal to the Purchase Price minus the Deposit Escrow Amount; and (ii) assume the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) At the Closing, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser will assume and become responsible for the Assumed Liabilities. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to pay, perform, honor, and discharge, or cause to be paid, performed, honored and discharged, all Assumed Liabilities in a timely manner in accordance with the terms hereof, including paying or causing to be paid, at or prior to the Closing, all Determined Cure Costs.

Any issue regarding the entitlement to the Deposit Escrow Amount shall be determined by the Bankruptcy Court, and Purchaser consents to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for any issue related to this Agreement.

2.10 Transfer Taxes. It is the intention of the Purchaser and the Seller that the Transactions be exempt from all transfer, documentary, sales, use, excise, stock transfer, value-added, stamp, recording, registration and other similar taxes, levies and fees (including any penalties, fines and interest), together with any conveyance fees, recording charges and other similar fees and charges, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 1146(a). Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under Applicable Law, the amount of any Transfer Taxes due with respect to the Transactions. In the event any Transfer Taxes are required to be paid with respect to the Transactions, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for such Transfer Taxes and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller against any such Transfer Taxes.

(a) Within 90 days following the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller a schedule allocating the Purchase Price (and all other amounts treated as consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes) among the Transferred Assets (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Allocation Schedule shall be reasonable, and Purchaser and the Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve disputed items, if any, in the Allocation Schedule as promptly as practicable. If Purchaser and the Seller are unable to reach agreement with respect to the Allocation Schedule within 30 days after the delivery of the Allocation Schedule by Purchaser to the Seller, the parties shall be entitled to use their own Purchase Price allocations for Tax reporting purposes.

19

(b) To the extent Purchaser and the Seller agree on the Allocation Schedule pursuant to Section 2.11(a), Purchaser and the Seller shall (i) timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in connection with the Allocation Schedule, and (ii) prepare and file all Tax Returns and determine all Taxes in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule, except as may be required by Applicable Law and except as may be necessary to reflect adjustments to the Allocation Schedule resulting from post-Closing payments or events. Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, shall notify the other if it receives notice that any Governmental Authority proposes any allocation different from Allocation Schedule.

Except for the representations and warranties contained in this Article 4, neither Purchaser nor any other Person on behalf of Purchaser makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Purchaser or with respect to any other information provided to the Seller or its representatives, and Purchaser disclaims any other representations or warranties, whether made by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives.

ARTICLE 5

BANKRUPTCY COURT MATTERS

5.1 Competing Transaction. This Agreement is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the consideration by the Seller of higher or better competing bids in respect of all or any part of the Transferred Assets (whether in combination with other assets of the Seller or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of the Bid Procedures Order (each, a “Competing Bid”). From the Agreement Date (and any prior time) and until the Seller’s designation of Purchaser’s bid as the Successful Bid (as defined in the Bid Procedures Order) at or after the Auction, the Seller is permitted to, and to cause its representatives to, initiate contact with, solicit or encourage submission of any inquiries, proposals or offers by, any Person (in addition to Purchaser and its Affiliates and representatives) in connection with any reorganization, sale or other disposition of the Transferred Assets. In addition, the Seller shall have the authority to respond to any inquiries or offers to reorganize, purchase all or any part of the Transferred Assets (whether in combination

24

with other assets of the Seller or otherwise) and perform any and all other acts related thereto which are required under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bid Procedures Order or other Applicable Law, including supplying information relating to the Business and the assets of the Seller to prospective plan sponsors or purchasers.

5.2 Bankruptcy Court Filings.

(a) Subject to its right to pursue a Competing Bid in accordance with the Bid Procedures Order, the Seller shall diligently pursue the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Sale Order, which Sale Order shall provide for the transfer of the Transferred Assets and the Assumed Liabilities to Purchaser free from all successor or transferee Liability to the fullest extent permitted by Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Seller shall comply (or obtain an Order from the Bankruptcy Court waiving compliance) with all requirements under the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure, and the Local Bankruptcy Rules for the Bankruptcy Court in obtaining the entry of the Sale Order. Purchaser agrees that it will promptly take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Seller to assist in obtaining entry of the Sale Order, including by furnishing affidavits or other documents or information for filing with the Bankruptcy Court for the purposes, among others, of providing necessary assurances of performance by Purchaser under this Agreement and demonstrating that Purchaser is a “good faith” purchaser under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) [Intentionally omitted.]

5.3 Assumption of Assigned Contracts.

(a) Seller has filed its Notice of Potential Assumption, Assumption and Assignment, or Transfer of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (Docket No. 186) (the “Assumption Notice”) and served the Assumption Notice on each counterparty to an Assigned Contract listed thereon. The Assumption Notice identifies all Assigned Contracts that the Seller and Purchaser believe may be assumed and assigned in connection with the sale of the Transferred Assets and sets forth a good faith estimate of the amount of Cure Costs applicable to each such Assigned Contract (and if no Cure Cost is estimated to be applicable with respect to any particular Assigned Contract, the amount of such Cure Cost designated for such Assigned Contract is “$0.00”). In accordance with the Bid Procedures Order, the Seller reserves the right to supplement the Assumption Notice and provide additional notice of assumption, and to remove a Assigned Contract from the list of Assigned Contracts, up to five (5) Business Days prior to the hearing by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the Sale Motion.

(b) Subject to the last paragraph of Section 2.1 hereof, on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date (the “Designation Deadline”), Purchaser shall provide to the Seller a list (which may be Schedule 2.1(c) or a revised version thereof) of those Assigned Contracts that it elects to have assumed and assigned to Purchaser on the Closing Date (the “Designated Contracts”), and Purchaser shall be entitled to remove any Assigned Contract from Schedule 2.1(c) at any time prior to the Designation Deadline by providing the Seller written notice of such removal. In the event that Purchaser removes any of such Assigned Contracts from such list, the Seller will provide the relevant counterparty written notice that the applicable Assigned Contract is no longer identified as a Designated Contract. For the avoidance of doubt,

25

only those executory Assigned Contracts that remain identified as Designated Contracts as of the Closing Date will constitute Assigned Contracts and will be assumed by the Seller and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order. The Seller shall file such motions, pleadings or notices as may be appropriate or necessary to assume and assign the Assigned Contracts and to determine the amount of the Cure Costs; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude the Seller from filing one or more motions to reject any Contracts that are not Assigned Contracts.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, a Contract shall not be a Designated Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned to, or assumed by, Purchaser to the extent that such Contract is (i) deemed rejected under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) the subject of an objection to assignment or assumption or requires the consent of any Governmental Authority or other third party (other than, and in addition to, the Bankruptcy Court) in order to permit the assumption and assignment by the Seller to Purchaser of such Contract pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and such objection has not been resolved or such consent has not been obtained prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day following the Closing Date (as such period may be extended by mutual agreement of Seller and Purchaser), or (iii) is terminated by any party thereto other than Seller, or terminates or expires by its terms, on or prior to such time as it is to be assumed by Purchaser as a Designated Contract hereunder and is not continued or otherwise extended upon assumption. In no event shall the failure to assign to Purchaser any Contract in accordance with subsections (i) through (iii) above reduce the Purchase Price payable to Seller or constitute a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent of Seller under Section 8.2.

(d) Subject to the terms of Section 2.5, Section 2.8, Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b), Purchaser shall make provision for the payment of the Determined Cure Costs in cash at Closing in accordance with the Sale Order.

(e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the date of the Assumption Notice through the Closing Date, the Seller will not reject or take any action (or fail to take any action that would result in rejection by operation of Applicable Law) to reject, withdraw, repudiate or disclaim any Assigned Contract unless (i) Purchaser has provided its prior written consent or (ii) Purchaser has removed such Assigned Contract from the list of Designated Contracts.

Except (i) as set forth on Schedule 6.1, (ii) as may be approved by Purchaser (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided, however, that the consent of Purchaser shall be deemed to have been given if Purchaser does not object within two (2) Business Days after written request for such consent is provided by the Seller to Purchaser), (iii) for actions taken or omitted to be taken by Seller in response to any Public Health Measure, or (iv) as is otherwise permitted, contemplated or required by this Agreement, any Assigned Contract, by Applicable Laws or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, from the Agreement Date through the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms:

26

(b) The Seller shall not:

(i) sell, license, abandon or otherwise dispose of any material asset or property constituting Transferred Assets other than, in each case, (A) in the ordinary course of business or (B) with Purchaser’s prior written consent, for the purpose of disposing of obsolete or worthless assets;

(ii) except in the ordinary course of business, acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of any business or any corporation, partnership or other business organization or otherwise acquire any assets (except inventory), that as of the Closing would constitute Transferred Assets, except for the acquisition of assets in the ordinary course of business; or

(iii) change its present accounting methods or principles in any material respect relating to the Transferred Assets, except as required by GAAP or Applicable Law.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, any right to control or direct the Business, assets and operations prior to the Closing. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its Business, assets and operations.

6.2 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the Agreement Date until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, the Seller shall grant Purchaser and its representatives (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice (and in the event of a facility visit request, at least 48 hours prior notice), and subject to any limitations resulting from any Public Health Measures, to the personnel, facilities, book and records of the Seller related to the Business or the Transferred Assets that are in the possession or under the control of the Seller; provided, however, that (i) all requests for access shall be directed to such person(s) as the Seller may designate in writing from time to time (the “Seller Access Contact”), (ii) such activities do not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Seller, (iii) the Seller shall have the right to have one or more of its representatives present at all times during any visits, examinations, discussions or contacts contemplated by this Section 6.2(a), (iv) Purchaser shall have no right to perform invasive or subsurface investigations or conduct any sampling or analysis of environmental media of the nature commonly referred to as a “Phase II Environmental Investigation,” such as any soil or groundwater testing, (v) such access or related activities would not cause a violation of any agreement to which the Seller is a party, (vi) no Personal Information shall be disclosed or used other than in compliance with applicable privacy law and (vii) nothing herein shall require Seller or its representatives to furnish to Purchaser or provide Purchaser with access to information that (A) is subject to an attorney-client or an attorney work-product privilege, (B) legal counsel for the Seller reasonably concludes may give rise to antitrust or competition law issues or violate a

27

protective order or otherwise may not be disclosed pursuant to Applicable Law (including any Public Health Measure) or (C) would cause significant competitive harm to the Seller if the Transactions are not consummated.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, from the Agreement Date until the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its representatives not to, have any contact or discussions concerning Seller, the Business, the Transaction or any other matters with any lender, borrower, creditor, guarantor, business partner, bank, landlord, tenant, supplier, customer, employee, manager, franchisee, distributer, noteholder, independent contractor, consultant or other material business relation of the Seller, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Seller Access Contact (which consent may be withheld in the Seller’s sole discretion and, if given, may be conditioned on the Seller Access Contact or his or her designee having the right to participate in any meeting or discussion).

(c) Any information provided to or obtained by Purchaser or its representatives, including pursuant to this Section 6.2 is confidential information and subject to the terms of, and the restrictions contained in, the Confidentiality Agreement. Purchaser agrees to be bound by and comply with the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement as if such provisions were set forth herein, and such provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon (and only upon) the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall automatically terminate and none of the parties thereto shall have any further Liability or obligation thereunder except with respect to any confidential information provided to or obtained by Purchaser or its representatives concerning the Seller, which information shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing Date. If this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing for any reason, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

6.3 Efforts to Consummate. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Closing to occur as soon as possible after the Agreement Date, including satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in Article 8 applicable to such party including (a) defending against any Actions, judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, (b) seeking to have any preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, stay or other legal restraint or prohibition entered or imposed by any court or other Governmental Authority that is not yet final and nonappealable vacated or reversed, and (c) executing any additional instruments reasonably requested by another party hereto (without cost or expense to the executing party) necessary to carry out the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that, for purposes of the “commercially reasonable efforts” standard as required by this Section 6.3, neither party nor its representatives shall be required to offer or grant any accommodation or concession (financial or otherwise) to any third party or to otherwise expend any money or suffer any detriment, to expend any money to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty hereunder, to commence any Action, to waive or surrender any right, to modify any agreement (including any Assigned Contract) or to provide financing to Purchaser for the consummation of the Transactions.

28

6.4 Regulatory Matters and Approvals.

(a) The Seller will (i) (A) make or cause to be made all filings and submissions, if any, required to be made by the Seller under any Applicable Law for the transfer of the Designated Intellectual Property to Purchaser; (B) at Purchaser’s request, execute any documents or instruments necessary or useful in order to perfect or record a change in ownership of the Transferred Assets and (ii) cooperate with Purchaser in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing.

(b) [Intentionally omitted.]

6.5 Public Announcements/Non-Disclosure.

(a) Between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date, except to the extent required by any Applicable Law or Action (including the Bankruptcy Case), neither Purchaser nor the Seller shall, and Purchaser and the Seller shall cause their respective Affiliates and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, issue any press release or public announcement of any kind without the prior written consent of Purchaser and the Seller; provided, however, that the Seller and its Affiliates may make announcements from time to time to their respective employees, customers, suppliers, and other business relations and otherwise as the Seller may reasonably determine is necessary to comply with Applicable Law or the requirements of this Agreement or any other agreement to which the Seller or any such Affiliate is a party. Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate in good faith to prepare a joint press release to be issued on the Closing Date, the terms of which shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including in Section 6.5(a) hereof, the Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns not to, disclose in any manner or to any Person (a) the legal or beneficial ownership of Purchaser or (b) identify Purchaser as any entity other than “Seattle Project Corp.” or an abbreviated version of that name except to the extent required by any Governmental Authority or any stock exchange or stock market, or otherwise required by Applicable Law or legal process required by Applicable Law provided, however, that, if the Seller reasonably determines that any such disclosure is required pursuant to the preceding exception, prior to making any such disclosures, the Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to prevent or condition the disclosure of such information.

6.6 Update of Schedules; Knowledge of Breach. From time to time prior to the Closing, the Seller may supplement or amend the Schedules with respect to any matter hereafter arising or discovered which if existing or known by the Seller at the Agreement Date would have been required to be set forth or described in such Schedules and also with respect to events or conditions arising after the date hereof and prior to Closing. Any such supplemental or amended disclosure shall not be deemed to have cured any such breach of representation or warranty for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) have been satisfied. From and after the Closing, references to the Schedules shall be references to the Schedules as supplemented, modified and/or updated. If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have reason to believe that any breach of a representation or warranty of the Seller has occurred (other

29

than through notice from the Seller), Purchaser shall promptly so notify the Seller, in reasonable detail. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.6, shall imply that the Seller is making any representation or warranty as of any date other than the Closing Date (other than representations and warranties that are expressly made as of an earlier date).

ARTICLE 7

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

7.1 [Intentionally omitted.]

7.2 Post-Closing Receipt and Possession of Assets.

(a) After the Closing Date, the Seller shall transfer promptly to Purchaser from time to time (but in any event on a monthly basis) any payments constituting Transferred Assets received by the Seller. After the Closing Date, Purchaser shall transfer promptly to the Seller, from time to time (but in any event on a monthly basis), any payments constituting Excluded Assets, received by Purchaser after the Closing.

(b) In the event that, after the Closing Date, Purchaser receives or otherwise is in possession of any Excluded Asset, Purchaser shall promptly notify the Seller of its receipt or possession of such other Excluded Asset and transfer such Excluded Asset to the Seller. In the event that, after the Closing Date, the Seller receives or otherwise is in possession of any other Transferred Asset, the Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of its receipt or possession of such other Transferred Asset and transfer, at Purchaser’s expense, such Transferred Asset to Purchaser.

7.3 Tax Matters. The Seller shall be responsible for preparing or causing to be prepared all Asset Tax Returns for itself for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Period”) that are required to be filed after the Closing.

Purchaser will, at Purchaser’s sole expense, timely file all necessary Tax Returns with regard to all Transfer Taxes that are required by Appliable Law.

7.4 Confidentiality . From and after the execution of this Agreement, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns to, keep confidential, and not disclose to any Person, any communication or other information related to this Agreement or to the Transactions, including, without limitation, those made in connection with the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement and the due diligence conducted by the Seller and Purchaser related to this Agreement, whether such communications occurred before, at, or after the execution of this Agreement except to the extent required by any Governmental Authority or any stock exchange or stock market, or otherwise required by Applicable Law or legal process required by Applicable Law; provided, however, that, if the Seller reasonably determines that any such disclosure is required pursuant to the preceding exception, prior to making any such disclosures, the Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to prevent or condition the disclosure of such information.

(b) Performance of Covenants and Obligations. The Seller shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all obligations and covenants required to have been performed or complied with by it under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing, except to the extent of changes or developments contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or caused by the Transactions.

ARTICLE 10

GENERAL PROVISIONS

10.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their term are to be performed in whole or in part, or which prohibit actions, subsequent to Closing shall, solely to the extent such covenants and agreements are to be performed, or prohibit actions, subsequent to Closing, survive the Closing in accordance with their terms until fully performed or satisfied. All other covenants and agreements contained herein, and all representations and warranties contained herein or in any certificated deliveries hereunder shall not survive Closing and shall therefore terminate, including any Action for damages in respect of any breach or inaccuracy thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 2.9(c), Section 6.2(c), Section 6.5(b), Section 7.4, Section 9.2 and this Article 10 shall survive the Closing.

10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents, contain the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein. This Agreement supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, arrangements, contracts, discussions, negotiations, undertakings and understandings (including any letters of intent or term sheets), whether written or oral, among the parties with respect to such subject matter (other than, for the

34

avoidance of doubt, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents) or any prior course of dealings. The parties hereto have voluntarily agreed to define their rights, Liabilities and obligations respecting the Transactions exclusively in contract pursuant to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents, and the parties hereto expressly disclaim that they are owed any duties or entitled to any remedies not expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents. Furthermore, the parties each hereby acknowledge that this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents embody the justifiable expectations of sophisticated parties derived from arm’s-length negotiations, and all parties to this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Related Documents specifically acknowledge that no party has any special relationship with another party that would justify any expectation beyond that of an ordinary purchaser and an ordinary seller in an arm’s-length transaction. The sole and exclusive remedies for any Related Claims shall be those remedies available at law or in equity for breach of contract only (as such contractual remedies have been further limited or excluded pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement); and the parties hereby agree that neither party hereto shall have any remedies or cause of action (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise) on account of any statements, communications, disclosures, failures to disclose, representations or warranties not set forth in this Agreement.

10.3 Amendment; No Waiver. This Agreement and the Related Documents may be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof or thereof can be waived, only by a written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement (and, if applicable, the Related Documents) executed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10.4 Severability; Specific Versus General Provisions. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any Applicable Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement and the Related Documents shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, in whole or in part, such term or provision is hereby deemed modified to give effect to the original written intent of the parties to the greatest extent consistent with being valid and enforceable under Applicable Law. No party hereto shall assert, and Purchaser shall cause its Affiliates or related parties not to assert, that this Agreement or any part hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, to the extent that a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Seller contained in this Agreement or the Schedules (each, a “Provision”) addresses a particular issue with specificity (a “Specific Provision”), and no breach by the Seller exists under such Specific Provision, the Seller shall not be deemed to be in breach of any other

35

Provision (with respect to such issue) that addresses such issue with less specificity than the Specific Provision, and if such Specific Provision is qualified or limited by the Seller’s Knowledge, or in any other manner, no other Provision shall supersede or limit such qualification in any manner.

10.5 Expenses and Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred by the parties hereto in connection with the Transactions, including the costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel and accountants, shall be borne solely and entirely by the party that has incurred such expenses.

10.6 Notices. All notices, consents, waivers, and other communications under this Agreement or the Related Documents must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, (b) if delivered by express courier service of national standing for next day delivery (with charges prepaid), on the Business Day following the date of delivery to such courier service, (c) if delivered by electronic mail (unless the sender receives an automated message that the email has not been delivered) on the date of transmission if on a Business Day before 5:00 p.m. local time of the business address of the recipient party (otherwise on the next succeeding Business Day) and (d) if deposited in the United States mail, first-class postage prepaid, on the date of delivery, in each case to the appropriate addresses or email addresses set forth below (or to such other addresses as a party may designate by notice to the other parties in accordance with this Section 10.6):

10.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (any of which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which shall constitute an original, and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format, or other agreed format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any Related Document, shall be disregarded in determining the party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

10.8 Governing Law. This Agreement, the Related Documents and all Related Claims shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware (including its statute of limitations), without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law principles or rules that would cause the application of the Applicable Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(a) Without limiting any party’s right to appeal any Order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to interpret and/or enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any Related Document, any breach or default hereunder or thereunder, or the Transactions, and (ii) any and all proceedings related to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the parties hereby consent to and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and shall receive notices at such locations as indicated in Section 10.6; provided, however, that if the Bankruptcy Case has closed, the parties agree to irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, to the extent the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the federal courts of the United States of America and the courts of the State of Delaware, in each case, located within the City of Wilmington in the State of Delaware over all Related Claims, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that all Related Claims may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereto hereby irrevocably and

37

unconditionally waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Related Claim brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any Related Claim by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (other than by email) along with a notification that service of process is being served in conformance with this Section 10.9(b). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Applicable Law.

10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED CLAIMS IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING OR RELATED CLAIM BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST IT, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATED DOCUMENTS OR ANY RELATED CLAIMS.

10.11 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement and the Related Documents will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, the Related Documents or Applicable Law.

10.12 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors by operation of law and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. No assignment of this Agreement or any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be made by any party hereto at any time, whether or not by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the Seller and Purchaser, and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void; provided, however, that (a) Purchaser may assign (i) any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates, and (ii) its rights, but not its duties, under this Agreement to any of its financing sources and (b) the Seller may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any successor thereto, including any liquidating trustee or other agent; provided, further, however, that, in each case, such assignment shall not release Purchaser from its obligations under this Agreement and the Seller shall have no obligation to pursue remedies against any assignee of Purchaser before proceeding against Purchaser for any breach of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

10.13 Specific Enforcement; Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage (for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (i) each party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent

38

jurisdiction without proof of damages or otherwise and that this shall include the right of each party to cause the other party to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and Applicable Laws and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the Transactions to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right neither party would have entered into this Agreement.

10.14 Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
