Each Transaction Document has been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms. Each of the Board and a duly authorized committee of the Board (by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors of such committee) by resolutions duly adopted, and not subsequently rescinded or modified in any way, has, in good faith, duly authorized this Agreement and the Transactions, and has determined that this Agreement and the Transactions are fair as to the Company as of the time of such authorization.

(c) No Conflicts.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed a representation or warranty by the Purchaser to hold the Common Shares for any period of time. The Purchaser understands that the Common Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act, and therefore the Common Shares may not be sold, assigned or transferred in the U.S. other than pursuant to (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, or (ii) an exemption from such registration requirements.

(f) Ability to Protect Its Own Investment and Bear Economic Risks. By reason of the business and financial experience of the Purchaser, the Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the Transactions and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Common Shares.

The payment obligations of the Company to the Indemnified Parties under this Section 4.5(a) shall be subordinated and junior in right of payment to all payment obligations of the Company to the Noteholders under the Debt Restructuring Agreements to the same extent as the “Subordinated Debt” (as defined in the Gores Subordination Agreement) is subordinated to the “Senior Debt” (as defined in the Gores Subordination Agreement) under the Gores Subordination Agreement.

(b) If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the engagement of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially adversely prejudiced the Company.

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to engage separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding; (iii) the Company shall have failed promptly to engage counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding (in each case, only with respect to such Indemnified Party); or (iv) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Affiliates, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Company or such Affiliates (in which case, under any of clauses (i) through (iv), such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding.

(c) The indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations of the Company under this Section 4.5 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnified Parties. If the Company breaches its obligations under any Transaction Document, then, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have under any Transaction Document or applicable Law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Indemnified Parties on demand for all costs of collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), provided that the Indemnified Parties prevail in such matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Parties on demand for all costs of enforcing the indemnification obligations in this paragraph, subject to the Indemnified Parties entering into an undertaking to reimburse all such amounts, in the event the Indemnified Parties do not prevail on such matters and subject to the last sentence of Section 4.5(a) above. For purposes of clarity, the provisions contained in this Section 4.5 shall not constitute the exclusive remedies of any Indemnified Party hereunder.

4.6 Approvals; Taking of Actions. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to (i) take or cause to be taken all actions, and to do or cause to be done all other things, necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and (ii) obtain in a timely manner all necessary Consents and effect all necessary registrations and filings.

6.6 Amendments; Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by (a) the Company, (b) the Purchaser, and (c) to the extent affecting Section 2.1 hereof (or any of the defined terms as used therein), or otherwise materially adversely affecting the Noteholders, as such, the Required Holders. The provisions referred to in the preceding clause (c) are referred to as the “Material Provisions.” No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

6.7 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Any contract, statute or rule defined or referred to herein means such contract, statute or rule as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of contracts) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes or rules) by succession of comparable successor statutes or rules and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

6.8 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. The Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement after the Closing to any Person to whom the Purchaser assigns or transfers any Common Shares, provided (a) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Common Shares, by the provisions hereof and of the Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchaser” and (b) the Purchaser shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder in connection with any such assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Common Shares may be pledged to a bank or financial lending institution in connection with a bona fide loan or financing arrangement, provided, that prior to any foreclosure thereunder such pledgee shall enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, making the restrictions set forth in the Transaction Documents applicable to such pledgee.

6.9 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that (a) the Noteholders, as such, are intended third party beneficiaries of the Material Provisions of this Agreement, and (b) each Indemnified Party is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 4.5 and (in each case) may enforce the provisions of Section 4.5 directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.

6.10 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the Transactions (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any Transaction or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of this Agreement), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by Law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions. If either party shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.

6.11 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.

6.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor and effects the original intent of the parties as closely as possible, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

6.13 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever the Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

6.14 Replacement of Common Shares. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Common Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction of such mutilation, loss, theft or destruction, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument. Applicants for such substitute certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges incidental thereto as the Company may reasonably prescribe.

6.15 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by Law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any Proceeding for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate.

6.16 Conflict of Interest. Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Purchaser and certain of its Related Persons are clients of Proskauer Rose LLP (“PR”) on matters related to the Purchaser’s investment in the Company (including with respect to the Transactions) and other unrelated matters (the “Gores Matters”), (b) the Company is a client of PR on certain unrelated matters (the “WON Matters”), (c) PR’s concurrent representation of the Company on the WON Matters and the Purchaser and certain of its Related Persons on the Gores Matters presents a potential conflict of interest for PR, and (d) such party (i) understands the possible adverse effects of PR’s simultaneous representation of WON on the WON Matters and the Purchaser and certain of its Related Persons on the Gores Matters, and (ii) has consented to PR’s representation of WON on the WON Matters and the Purchaser and certain of its Related Persons on the Gores Matters, as described above.
