Exhibits/Schedules. The Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this Agreement.

Any matter or item disclosed on one Schedule shall be deemed to have been disclosed on each other Schedule with respect to other representations and warranties relating to such matter or item to the extent there is a cross-reference to such other Schedules or to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from such disclosure that it is relevant to other representations and warranties contained therein. Disclosure of any item on any Schedule shall not constitute an admission that such item or matter is material or would have a Material Adverse Effect. The Seller may, at its option, include in the Schedules items that are not material in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. No disclosure on a Schedule relating to a possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or Order shall be construed as an admission that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement.

Gender and Number. Any reference in this Agreement to gender shall include all genders, and words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa.

The provision of a Table of Contents, the division of this Agreement into Articles, Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to any “Section” are to the corresponding Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

Herein. The words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires.

Including. The word “including” or any variation thereof means (unless the context of its usage otherwise requires) “including, without limitation” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately following it.

Reflected On or Set Forth In. An item arising with respect to a specific representation or warranty shall be deemed to be “reflected on” or “set forth in” a balance sheet or financial statements, to the extent any such phrase appears in such representation or warranty, if (a) there is a reserve, accrual or other similar item underlying a number on such balance sheet or financial statements that related to the subject matter of such representation, (b) such item is otherwise specifically set forth on the balance sheet or financial statements or (c) such item is reflected on the balance sheet or financial statements and is specifically set forth in the notes thereto.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION

3.1 Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the Purchased Assets shall be (a) an amount in cash equal to $23,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.3, and (b) the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Total Consideration”).

3.2 Payment of Cash Consideration . On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay the Cash Consideration to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller.

3.3 Cash Consideration Adjustment.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser the Closing Statement (as defined below) and a certificate based on such Closing Statement setting forth Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital. The closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) shall present the Closing Working Capital. The preparation of the Closing Statement shall be for the sole purpose of determining the difference between the Target Working Capital and the Final Working Capital (as defined below) and for calculating the payment to be made pursuant to Section 3.3(e) below.

(b) If Purchaser disagrees with Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(a), Purchaser may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice to Seller stating that Purchaser disagrees with such calculation and specifying in reasonable detail those items or amounts as to which Purchaser disagrees and the basis therefore and reasonable documentation and evidence of such basis. A failure by Purchaser to object within the ten (10) day period described above shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of any future objection. Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(a).

(c) If a notice of disagreement shall be duly delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(b), Purchaser and Seller shall, during the fifteen (15) days following such delivery, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of Closing Working Capital. If during such period, Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause BDO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, LLP or such other independent accounting firm they mutually agree to select, as the case may be (the “Independent Accountant”), to review this Agreement and the disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating Closing Working Capital (it being understood that in making such calculation, the Independent Accountant shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). Each of Purchaser and Seller agrees that it shall not engage, or agree to engage, the Independent Accountant to perform any services other than as the Independent Accountant pursuant hereto until the Closing Statement and Final Working Capital have been finally determined pursuant to this Section 3.3. Each party agrees to execute, if requested by the

Independent Accountant, a reasonable engagement letter. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with the Independent Accountant and promptly provide all documents and information requested by the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall select as a resolution the position of either Seller or Purchaser for each item of disagreement. In making such calculation, the Independent Accountant shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital as to which Purchaser has disagreed as permitted in its notice of disagreement duly delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(b). The Independent Accountant shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable (but in any case no later than thirty (30) days from the date of engagement of the Independent Accountant), a report setting forth its calculation of Closing Working Capital, including the basis for and explanation of any difference from the Closing Statement. Such report shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller, shall be deemed a final arbitration award that is binding on Purchaser and Seller, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall seek further recourse to courts or other tribunals, other than to enforce such report. Judgment may be entered to enforce such report in any court of competent jurisdiction. The Independent Accountant will determine the allocation of the cost of its review and report based on the inverse of the percentage its determination (before such allocation) bears to the total amount of the total items in dispute as originally submitted to the Independent Accountant. For example, should the items in dispute total in amount to $1,000 and the Independent Accountant awards $600 in favor of the Seller’s position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Purchaser and 40% of the costs would be borne by the Seller.

(d) Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective representatives to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of Closing Working Capital and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 3.3, including the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

(e) If the Final Working Capital exceeds Target Working Capital as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to Seller, in the manner and with interest provided in Section 3.3(f), the amount of such excess as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration and, if Target Working Capital exceeds Final Working Capital, Seller shall pay to Purchaser, the amount of such excess as an adjustment to the Cash Consideration, in the manner and with interest provided in Section 3.3(f). “Final Working Capital” means Closing Working Capital (i) as shown in Seller’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(a) if no notice of disagreement with respect thereto is duly delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(b); or (ii) if such a notice of disagreement is delivered, (A) as agreed by Purchaser and Seller pursuant to Section 3.3(c) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Independent Accountant’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(c); provided, however, that in no event shall Final Working Capital be more than Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or less than Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital delivered pursuant to Section 3.3(b).

(f) Any payment pursuant to Section 3.3(e) shall be made at a mutually convenient time and place within five (5) Business Days after Final Working Capital has been determined by wire transfer by Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, of immediately available funds to the account of such other party as may be designated in writing by such other party. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal Eastern Edition as the

“prime rate” at large U.S. money center banks during the period from the Closing Date to the date of such payment. Such interest shall be payable at the same time as the payment to which it relates and shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5.12(f), to the Knowledge of Seller, there are no claims pending or threatened by any Former Employee which, if adversely determined, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

5.13 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.13, to the Knowledge of Seller, there are no Legal Proceedings pending or threatened against Seller before any Governmental Body.

(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.16(a), Seller and Parent have timely filed all Tax Returns that were required to be filed relating to the Business. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all material respects. All material Taxes owed by Seller and Parent (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) relating to the Business have been paid.

No deficiency for any Taxes relating to the Business has been proposed, asserted or assessed against Seller or Parent and no issue relating to the Business has been raised by any Taxing Authority which, by application of the same or similar principles, reasonably could be expected to result in a proposed deficiency for any other period not so examined. No waiver, extension or comparable consent given by or on behalf of Seller or Parent regarding the application of the statute of limitations with respect to any Taxes relating to the Business or Tax Return relating to the Business is outstanding, nor is any request for any such waiver or consent pending.

(f) Seller has not participated in a transaction that is described as a “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation § 1.6011-4(b) relating to the Business.

(g) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.16(g), Seller is not a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement relating to the Business. Except insofar as Seller has been a member of the affiliated group of which Parent is the common parent since on or about May 18, 1999 (and thus may have a liability for Taxes under Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations adopted under the Code) or as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 5.16(g), Seller has never been a member of an affiliated group (within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code) filing a consolidated federal income tax return. Except insofar as Seller has been a member of the affiliated group of which Parent is the common parent since on or about May 18, 1999, Seller has no liability for the Taxes of any person under Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury Regulations adopted under the Code (or any similar provision of state, local, or foreign law).

Seller makes no representations or warranties to Purchaser regarding the probable success or profitability of the Business. The disclosure of any matter or item in any schedule hereto shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that any such matter is required to be disclosed.

Thereafter, no party hereto shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the transactions

Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing Date, each Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information relating solely to the Business or otherwise included in the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges that any and all other Business Information (as such term is defined in the Confidentiality Agreements) provided to it by Parent, Seller or their representatives concerning Seller and its Affiliates shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreements after the Closing Date.

(b) Each of Parent and Seller agrees to maintain in confidence any non-public information relating to the Business and Purchaser, and to use such non-public information only for purposes of consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and enforcing its rights and performing its obligations hereunder. Such confidentiality obligations will not apply to information which (i) at the time of disclosure was in the public domain, (ii) after disclosure, became part of the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this covenant, (iii) is rightfully received from a third party who did not acquire or disclose such information by wrongful or tortuous act, or in breach of this covenant or (iv) is required to be disclosed by applicable Law, regulation, national stock exchange or NASDAQ rule or judicial process.

In the event Seller or Purchaser wishes to destroy such records after that time, such party shall first give ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other and such other party shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to such party within that ninety (90) day period, to take possession of the records within 180 days after the date of such notice.

Purchaser agrees that it shall have no right, title or interest in or to the names “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇,” “Hollywood Media Corp.” or any other Marks of Parent or any of its Affiliates (other than the Marks listed on Schedule 7.5(a), after the Closing (collectively, the “Purchased Marks”)) or any other Marks containing or comprising the foregoing or confusingly similar thereto (all of the foregoing collectively, the “Retained Marks”). Purchaser agrees that it will not at any time hold itself out as having any affiliation with Seller, Parent or any of its Affiliates. In furtherance thereof, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all references to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ and Hollywood Media Corp. names and the other names and Marks listed on Schedule 7.5(b) (collectively, the “Restricted Marks”) from all materials including, without limitation, any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, Web sites, computer software and other materials. Purchaser agrees that use of the Restricted Marks during the period authorized by this Section 7.5 shall be (i) only with respect to inventories of packaging, labels, sales literature and other hard copy materials existing as of the Closing Date, (ii) strictly the same as existed prior to the Closing Date, and (iii) at a level of quality equal to, or greater than, the quality of goods and services with respect to which the Restricted Marks were used by Seller prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser agrees (i) not to contest the ownership or validity of any rights of Parent or any of its Affiliates in or to the Retained Marks, (ii) that the Retained Marks are the sole property of Parent or its Affiliates and Purchaser will do nothing inconsistent with such ownership, and (iii) not to attack the Retained Marks in any way or use, register or seek to register any Trademark which is the same as, contains or is confusingly similar to a Retained ▇▇▇▇.

7.6 Ridgefield Lease Guarantee. Each of the parties acknowledges that the Parent guarantee of the lease by and between CH Realty Corp, LLC and Seller, dated as of July 22, 2002, as amended by the lease extension agreement dated as of September 21, 2004 (the “Ridgefield Lease Guarantee”) shall remain in place until the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, on which date such guarantee shall terminate without further action by any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that Parent shall not be required to make any payments under the Ridgefield Lease Guarantee and Purchaser and West shall take all action necessary to ensure that Parent is not required to make any payment under the Ridgefield Lease Guarantee and that such guarantee is terminated on the second anniversary of the date hereof.

7.7 Mail; Collection of Receivables.

(a) Mail. From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications addressed to Seller and relating to the Business, and Purchaser agrees promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) to deliver to Seller any such mail, packages or other communications received directly or indirectly by Purchaser to the extent relating to the Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the term of the Transition Services Agreement, Seller shall have the right to receive and open all mail, packages and other communications addressed to Seller and relating to the Business, and Seller agrees promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) to deliver to Purchaser any such mail, packages or other communications received directly or indirectly by Purchaser to the extent relating to the Purchased Assets, and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any costs incurred by Seller in delivering such mail, packages and other communications to Purchaser.

(i) Purchaser shall have the right and authority to collect, for its own account, all of the receivables included in the Purchased Assets, and Seller shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) transfer or deliver to Purchaser any cash or other property received directly or indirectly by Seller in respect of such receivables, including any amounts payable as interest by third parties relating to such receivables, and such funds will be deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser until so transferred or delivered by Seller to Purchaser.

(ii) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Past Due Receivables and the Excluded Receivables. Any amounts received from a customer having outstanding Past Due Receivables or Excluded Receivables shall be applied to outstanding receivables as directed in writing by such customer; provided, however, that any payment received from such customer for which Purchaser has not received written application instructions shall first be applied towards the payment of the oldest Excluded Receivables of such customer until such Excluded Receivables are paid in full, then (to the extent of any excess amount not so applied) to payment of the oldest Past Due Receivables until such Past Due Receivables of such customer are paid in full, and then (to the extent of any excess amount not so applied) to such other accounts receivable of such customer as Purchaser shall designate; provided further, however, that nothing contained herein shall limit the rights of Seller to take any action permitted by Law to collect any amounts outstanding that are included in the Excluded Receivables. Each of Purchaser and West shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and representatives not to, request, direct or otherwise attempt to cause any customer to designate a payment to any particular outstanding invoice or receivable in a manner that is inconsistent with this Section 7.7(b) if such customer has outstanding receivables or invoices that are either Past Due Receivables or Excluded Receivables.

(iii) Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days), transfer or deliver to Seller (i) any cash or other property received directly or indirectly by Purchaser in respect of the Excluded Receivables, and (ii) 50% of all cash and other property received directly or indirectly by Purchaser in respect of the Past Due Receivables, in each case, including any amounts paid as interest by third parties relating to such receivables, and such funds will be deemed held in trust for the benefit of Seller until so transferred or delivered by Purchaser to Seller.

ARTICLE VIII

EMPLOYEES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

8.1 Employment.

(a) Transferred Employees. Effective as of the Closing, Purchaser shall make offers of employment to each of the Employees who remain employed immediately prior to the Closing to commence immediately following the Closing. All such employment offered by Purchaser will be “at will” and may be terminated by Purchaser at any time for any reason (subject only to any written commitments to the contrary made by Purchaser). Each such offer of employment shall be for substantially the same total compensation and position as in effect immediately prior to the Closing. Such individuals who accept such offer by the Closing Date are hereinafter referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible for any Liability (including severance) that arises from any Employee not accepting such offer of employment.

(b) Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee who is terminated by Purchaser for any reason other than cause during the one-year period following the Closing Date with severance payments and severance benefits that are substantially similar to the severance payments and severance benefits set forth in Schedule 8.1(b).

(c) Standard Procedure. Pursuant to the “Standard Procedure” provided in section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-34 I.R.B. 320, (i) Purchaser and Seller shall report on a predecessor/successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) Seller will not be relieved from filing a Form W-2 with respect to any Transferred Employees, and (iii) Purchaser will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W-2 for each such Transferred Employee with respect to the portion of the year during which such Employees are employed by Purchaser that includes the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such Employee was employed by Seller.

(d) Subject to Section 8.2(a), Seller and Parent hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that following the Closing Date the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to fix the level of compensation and benefits of employment to be provided to Transferred Employees, and that the Purchaser may modify the terms and conditions of employment of any Transferred Employee from time to time.

(e) Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Employee or Transferred Employee or his or her legal representatives any rights or remedies, including, without limitation, any rights of employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

8.2 Employee Benefits.

(a) For a period of one year after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide the Transferred Employees with benefits under employee benefit plans that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable with those with which they are currently being provided by Parent or Seller. Each of the plans maintained by Purchaser or its Affiliates in which Transferred Employees are eligible to participate shall take into account for purposes of eligibility, vesting and the calculation of severance or vacation benefits thereunder, the length of service of such Transferred Employees with Seller, Parent or any of their predecessor entities through the Closing Date, to a comparable extent that such service was credited under a comparable employee benefit plan of Seller or Parent; provided, however, that such credit shall not result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service.

(b) Purchaser shall take all such actions as are necessary or appropriate to ensure that each Transferred Employee, each such Transferred Employee’s spouse and dependent children covered under a group health plan of Seller or Parent on the Closing Date shall be eligible to enroll for coverage effective not later than 90 days after the Closing Date under a group health plan maintained by Purchaser. Purchaser shall take all such reasonable actions as are necessary or appropriate to cause each group health plan maintained by Purchaser in which a Transferred Employee, any such Transferred Employee’s spouse or dependent children will participate after the Closing Date to waive any waiting period, evidence of insurability requirement or pre-existing condition limitation that did not also apply under the applicable group health plan of Seller or Parent, subject to approval by the insurer providing benefits under such plan, if applicable.

(c) Accrued Vacation. Except as required by applicable Law, Purchaser shall be responsible for all Liabilities with respect to Transferred Employees attributable to their accrued and unused vacation (to the extent taken into account in calculating Closing Working Capital) and sick days through the Closing Date.

(d) COBRA. Each of Seller and Parent agrees to fulfill all obligations under the continuation coverage rules of COBRA with respect to a “qualifying event” within the meaning of Section 4980B(f) of the Code occurring on or before the Closing Date with respect to Former Employees and any Employees and their dependents, including M & A qualified beneficiaries (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9), with respect to this transaction; provided, however, that Purchaser agrees that it will reimburse Seller or Parent for all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection therewith. From and after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be responsible for providing the group health plan continuation coverage pursuant to Section 4980B of the Code and Sections 601-609 of ERISA for Transferred Employees and their eligible dependents who incur a “qualifying event” within the meaning of Code Section 4980B(f)(3) after the Closing

10.5 Procedures.

(a) In order for a Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement as a result of a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and copies of any relevant documentation evidencing such claim. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except and solely to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Parties shall agree that such Third Party Claim is covered by the indemnity set forth herein. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party if (i) so requested by the Indemnifying Party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third Party Claim. Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, each party shall cooperate with the other party in such defense and make available all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in its possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the other party. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party hereto advised of the status of such Third-Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party hereto with respect thereto. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such Third-Party Claim that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or that does not include a full, complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(c) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim promptly to the Indemnifying Party, describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and copies of any relevant documentation evidencing such claim. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article X except to the extent and solely that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation shall include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

10.6 Limits on Indemnification.

(a) No claim for indemnification may be asserted against a party for breach of any representation or warranty contained herein, unless written notice of such claim is received by such party pursuant to the terms hereof on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty on which such claim is based expires as set forth in Section 10.1, in which case such representation or warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from Seller by Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 10.2(a) shall be an amount equal to $1,000,000; provided, however, that this Section 10.6(b)(i) shall not apply to amounts payable in connection with Surviving Claims, for which Sellers shall be required to indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the amount of all Losses, up to the Total Consideration;

(ii) Seller shall not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses that may be recovered from the Seller equals or exceeds $250,000, and thereafter Seller shall be liable only for the amount of Losses that exceeds $100,000; provided, however, that this Section 10.6(b)(ii) shall not apply to amounts payable in connection with Surviving Claims; and

(iii) Seller shall not be liable to any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any claim for indemnification unless the amount of indemnifiable Loss of such claim equals or exceeds $7,500; provided, however, that this Section 10.6(b)(iii) shall not apply to amounts payable in connection with Surviving Claims.

(c) To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article X are covered by insurance, a party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided, however, that such party shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article X in respect of such Losses and the amount of such claim shall be reduced by any amounts collected from any insurance company or third party, including insurance proceeds; provided, further, that to the extent that subsequent to receiving such indemnification an Indemnified Party receives any such amount from an insurance company or third party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay such amounts to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

(d) Purchaser and West hereby acknowledge and agree that West, as the former owner of the Business prior to its acquisition by Parent, has been since the date of such acquisition and currently is the principal manager of the Business, and has intimate knowledge of the ongoing, day-to-day operations of the Business. Accordingly, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, each of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in Article V of this Agreement, except those representations and warranties made by Seller in the first (but not any other) sentence of Section 5.1 and in Sections 5.2, 5.3(a)(i) and 5.15, is

qualified in its entirety by any knowledge that West may have concerning any undisclosed matter that is contrary to such representations and warranties of the Seller, in which event Seller shall be deemed not to be in breach of such representations and warranties to the extent of any such knowledge of West. In addition, any obligation of Seller to indemnify as a result of a breach by Seller of any of its representations and warranties contained in Article V are hereby suspended, waived and offset to the extent that Purchaser or its Affiliates are in breach of Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained in Section 6.7, but only to the extent that such breach relates to the same matters giving rise to Seller’s obligation to indemnify; it being understood and agreed that (i) any such breach of representations and warranties contained in Section 6.7 shall be an absolute defense against any such claim for indemnification by any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, but only to the extent that such breach relates to the same matters giving rise to Seller’s obligation to indemnify and (ii) Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of any Losses incurred as a result of a breach by Seller of any of its representations and warranties contained in Article V until every claim Seller may have against Purchaser for Purchaser’s breach of its representations and warranties contained in Section 6.7 shall be finally determined.

10.7 Excluded Liabilities. Each indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article X in respect of Excluded Liabilities shall be deemed to be an adjustment to the Total Consideration.

ARTICLE XI

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Payment of Sales, Use or Similar Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall each be responsible for one-half of any sales taxes applicable to the Purchased Assets and for all other applicable sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, transfer or similar fees or taxes or governmental charges (including real property transfer gains taxes, UCC-3 filing fees, FAA, ICC, DOT, real estate and motor vehicle registration, title recording or filing fees and other amounts payable in respect of transfer filings) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any Taxes payable with respect to the issuance, execution or delivery of the Purchaser Documents to Seller (other than taxes measured by or with respect to income imposed on Seller or its Affiliates); provided, however, that each of Purchaser and West shall be solely responsible for all of the foregoing taxes and fees that are incurred by Purchaser and West, as applicable, in connection with or incidental to any financing obtained by Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The party required by Law, at its expense, shall file all necessary documents (including all Tax Returns) with respect to all such amounts in a timely manner.

11.2 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.3 Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) The parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within the borough of Manhattan of the City, County and State of New York over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action or proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably 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 dispute 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 law.

(b) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by the delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.6.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.

11.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto), the other agreements contemplated herein and the Confidentiality Agreements represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement can be amended, supplemented or changed by the written consent of all of the parties hereto, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement 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 any 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.

11.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State without giving effect to the choice of law principles of such State that would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

11.6 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission) or (iii) one Business Day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

11.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby 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, 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 an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any

person or entity not a party to this Agreement except as expressly stated herein or as provided below. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either Parent, Seller or Purchaser, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void, provided, that each of the parties hereto acknowledges, agrees and consents to the collateral assignment by Purchaser of all of its right, title and interest in and to this Agreement and the documents and agreements executed in connection herewith (including, in each case, the performance of Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and thereunder) to Plainfield, as administrative agent for itself and the other Lenders, but only in connection with and to the extent required to enable the Lenders to exercise their rights and remedies to enforce their security under the Credit Agreement. No assignment of any obligations hereunder shall relieve the parties hereto of any such obligations. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

11.9 Guarantees of Obligations.

(a) Parent hereby guarantees and agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the prompt and complete performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the Seller Documents, but subject to the same limitations as those on Seller’s obligations hereunder, including its indemnification obligations under Article X, as if Parent had delivered the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article V on a joint and several basis. Parent’s obligations are unconditional irrespective of any circumstances which might otherwise constitute, by operation of law, a discharge of a guarantor and it shall not be necessary for Purchaser to institute or exhaust any remedies or causes of action against Seller or any other Person as a condition to the obligations of Parent hereunder.

(b) West hereby guarantees and agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the prompt and complete performance of Purchaser’s obligations under Section 10.3(f). West’s obligations are unconditional irrespective of any circumstances which might otherwise constitute, by operation of law, a discharge of a guarantor and it shall not be necessary for Seller to institute or exhaust any remedies or causes of action against Purchaser or any other Person as a condition to the obligations of West hereunder.

(c) The parties hereby irrevocably waive any right to receive a formal notification or to request that any other formalities or protest be accomplished and expressly undertake not to exercise, and waive to the fullest extent lawful, any rights that they may have under applicable law.

11.10 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Parent, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Parent or Seller under this Agreement or the Seller Documents for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.
