SEPARATION AGREEMENT

 

This Separation Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of June 25, 2014, by
and between Nabors Industries Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Navy”) and
Nabors Red Lion Limited, a Bermuda exempted company and currently a wholly owned
Subsidiary of Navy (“Red Lion”).  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and
not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article VI.

 

RECITALS

 

1.             Navy is engaged, directly and indirectly, in the Red Lion
Business;

 

2.             As a condition to the execution of the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of the date hereof, among Navy, Red Lion and C&J Energy
Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Penny”) (the “Merger Agreement”), Navy
is required to separate the Red Lion Business from the other businesses of Navy;

 

3.             The Board of Directors of Navy has determined that it would be in
the best interests of Navy and its shareholders to separate the Red Lion
Business from the other businesses of Navy and enter into the Merger Agreement;

 

4.             Navy currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common
shares, par value $1.00 per share, of Red Lion (the “Red Lion Common Shares”);

 

5.             Navy and Red Lion have each determined that it would be
appropriate and desirable for Navy, Red Lion and Red Lion’s Subsidiaries to
undergo a restructuring (the “Red Lion Restructuring” which, for the avoidance
of doubt, does not include the incurrence of the Red Lion Financing or the entry
into the Debt Financing Agreements, the Note Repayment, the consummation of the
Merger or any events occurring following the Effective Time), which will include
certain distributions that are intended to qualify as a series of distributions
subject to Sections 332, 351, 355 and 368 of the Code or, in the case of
restructuring Red Lion Assets located in Canada, a sale subject to Section 1001
of the Code, as a result of which the Red Lion Group will, directly or
indirectly, own solely Navy’s well services and completion business in Canada
(the “Canada Completion Business”) and well services and completion business in
the United States (the “U.S. Completion Business,” and together with the Canada
Completion Business, the “Red Lion Business”), and the distribution to Navy
certain entities not engaged in the Red Lion Business, such that following the
Red Lion Restructuring, Red Lion’s remaining assets and liabilities will consist
solely of the Red Lion Business, and Navy will be issued additional Red Lion
Common Shares;

 

6.             Navy and Red Lion contemplate that, concurrently with or
immediately following the Red Lion Restructuring as further described herein,
USHC will incur indebtedness (as defined in the Merger Agreement, the “Red Lion
Financing”), and will enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto (the
“Debt Financing Agreements”), to be used to fund the repayment of certain
intercompany notes (collectively, the “Notes”) with an aggregate face amount of
$829,820,225 to be issued to Nabors Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Indigo”) and/or one or more other Navy Subsidiaries, and $108,250,000 to be
issued to Nabors Drilling Canada Limited, an Alberta Corporation (“Alberta”),
(the “Note Repayment,” and the

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Red Lion Financing, and the entry into the Debt Financing Agreements, together
with the Red Lion Share Issuance, collectively, the “Recapitalization”);

 

7.             This Agreement is intended to be a “plan of reorganization”
within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g) with respect to the
Recapitalization;

 

8.             Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, a
corporation to be organized under the laws of the State of Delaware that will be
a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Red Lion (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and
into Penny (the “Merger”), with Penny surviving the Merger as a direct wholly
owned Subsidiary of Red Lion and each common share, par value $0.01 per share,
of Penny (“Penny Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive one Red Lion Common
Share on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement;

 

9.             Immediately after the Merger, Red Lion will transfer Penny to a
limited liability company to be organized under the laws of Luxembourg and
wholly owned by Red Lion (“LuxCo”), thereafter LuxCo will transfer Penny to a
corporation to be organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a direct
wholly owned Subsidiary of LuxCo (“USHC”); and

 

10.          The Parties intend in this Agreement to set forth the principal
arrangements between them regarding the Red Lion Restructuring and the
Recapitalization, and certain other agreements that will govern certain matters
relating to the Red Lion Restructuring and the Recapitalization and the
relationship of Navy, Red Lion and their respective Subsidiaries.

 

Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

held as of the Separation Time by Red Lion or a Red Lion Entity, which Red Lion
Asset will continue to be held by Red Lion or such Red Lion Entity); and

 

(b)           Navy will Convey (or will cause any applicable Subsidiary to

members of the Red Lion Group will be solely responsible for all Red Lion
Liabilities, on a joint and several basis.

 

Section 1.2            Transfer of Excluded Assets; Assumption of Excluded
Liabilities.  Except as provided in Section 1.7(b), prior to the Separation
Time, to the extent not previously effected:

 

(a)           Navy will cause any applicable member or members of the Red Lion
Group to Convey to Navy or a Subsidiary of Navy, and Navy will accept from such
applicable member or members of the Red Lion Group (or will cause any applicable
Subsidiary of Navy to accept) all of such member’s or members’ direct or
indirect right, title and interest in and to all Excluded Assets; and

 

(b)           Navy will cause any applicable member or members of the Red Lion
Group to Convey to Navy or a Subsidiary of Navy, and Navy will assume, perform,
discharge and fulfill when due, and to the extent applicable, comply with (or
will cause the applicable Subsidiary of Navy to assume, perform, discharge and
fulfill when due, and to the extent applicable, comply with) all of the Excluded
Liabilities, in accordance with their respective terms.  As between members of
the Navy Group, on the one hand, and members of the Red Lion Group, on the other
hand, following the Separation Time, the members of the Navy Group will be
solely responsible for all Excluded Liabilities, on a joint and several basis.

 

Section 1.3            Misallocated Transfers.  In the event that at any time or
from time to time (whether prior to, at or after the Separation Time), either
Party (or any member of the Navy Group or the Red Lion Group, as applicable) is
the owner of, receives or otherwise comes to possess any Asset (including the
receipt of payments made pursuant to Contracts and proceeds from accounts
receivable) or Liability that is allocated to any Person that is a member of the
other Group pursuant to this Agreement (except in the case of any acquisition of
Assets from the other Party for value subsequent to the Separation Time), such
Party will promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, such Asset or
Liability to the Person so entitled thereto.  Prior to any such transfer, such
Asset or Liability will be held in accordance with Section 1.7(c).

be entitled to retain a copy of the Red Lion Books and Records, which will be
subject to the provisions of Section 4.2(g) and will be retained in a
confidential manner by Navy; (2) neither clause (A) nor (B) will be deemed to

extent required to satisfy Navy’s legal or other obligations, Navy will be
entitled to retain original copies of the Red Lion Books and Records, which will

workers’ compensation and other Policies);

 

(viii)                    all rights with respect to third-party warranties and
guaranties that are, in each case, related primarily to the Red Lion Business

4

to causes of action, lawsuits, judgments, claims and demands that are, in each
case, related primarily to the Red Lion Business, including those listed or
described on Schedule 1.4(a)(ix) and including those arising under this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement against any Navy Group member;

 

(x)                                                                     all
Intellectual Property owned by Navy that is primarily used or held for use in

(xii)                                                               all

(the “Red Lion Inventory”);

 

(xiii)                                                            all approvals,
consents, franchises, licenses, permits, registrations, authorizations and

(xv)                                                              any and all

Section 1.4(a); such fact does not imply that (x) such Asset must be Conveyed

an Asset may be excluded under one clause does not imply that it is not intended
to be included under another.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a),
the Red Lion Assets will not in any event include any of the following Assets
(the “Excluded Assets”):

of any member of the Navy Group not included in any of the clauses in
Section 1.4(a) above;

The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Red Lion nor any of its
Subsidiaries will acquire or be permitted to retain any direct or indirect
right, title and interest in any Excluded Assets through the Conveyance of the
Red Lion Entity Interests, and that if any of the Red Lion Entities owns, leases

Liabilities of any member of the Red Lion Group or Penny Group under this
Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

 

A single Liability may fall within more than one of clauses (i) through

Liabilities arising out of claims made by the respective directors, officers,

(vi)                                                                  all
Liabilities arising out of any Action pending or asserted in writing as of the
Separation Time with respect to any Environmental Condition at any property
owned or leased by Navy or any of its Affiliates at or prior to the Separation
Time (the “Excluded Environmental Liabilities”);

 

(vii)                                                               all
Liabilities that would be classified as indebtedness under United States
generally accepted accounting principles other than the Notes, the Red Lion

Liabilities will be assumed by Navy as contemplated by Section 1.2(b).

 

Section 1.6                                    Termination of Intercompany
Agreements; Settlement of Intercompany Accounts.

 

(a)                                 Termination of Intercompany Agreements. 
Except as set forth in Section 1.6(b) and Section 1.6(c), Red Lion, on behalf of
itself and each other member of the Red Lion Group, on the one hand, and Navy,
on behalf of itself and each other member of the Navy Group, on the other hand,
will terminate, effective as of the Separation Time, any and all Contracts
between or among Red Lion or any member of the Red Lion Group, on the one hand,
and Navy or any member of the Navy Group, on the other hand.  No such Contract
(including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) will be
of any further force or effect after the Separation Time and all parties will be
released from all Liabilities thereunder.  Each Party will, at the reasonable
request of any other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as
may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

 

(b)                                 Exceptions to Termination of Intercompany
Agreements.  The provisions of Section 1.6(a) will not apply to any of the

Notes;

 

(iv)                                                                  any
Contracts to which any Person other than the Parties and their respective
Affiliates is a party (it being understood that to the extent that the rights
and Liabilities of the Parties and the members of their respective Groups under
any such Contracts

 

9

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

constitute Red Lion Assets or Red Lion Liabilities, they will be Conveyed
pursuant to Section 1.1(a) or Section 1.1(b), or allocated pursuant to
Section 1.7(c)); and

 

(v)                                                                     any
Contracts to which any non-wholly owned Subsidiary of Navy or Red Lion, as the
case may be, is a party (it being understood that (x) directors’ qualifying
shares or similar interests will be disregarded for purposes of determining
whether a Subsidiary is wholly owned and (y) to the extent that the rights and
Liabilities of the Parties and the members of their respective Groups under any
such Contracts constitute Red Lion Assets or Red Lion Liabilities, they will be
Conveyed pursuant to Section 1.1(a) or Section 1.1(b), or allocated pursuant to
Section 1.7(c)).

 

(c)                                  Settlement of Intercompany Accounts. 
Except as provided in Section 1.12, all of the intercompany receivables,
payables, loans and other accounts between Red Lion or any member of the Red
Lion Group, on the one hand, and Navy or any member of the Navy Group, on the
other hand, in existence as of immediately prior to the Separation Time
(collectively, the “Intercompany Accounts”) will be settled at or prior to the
Separation Time.

 

Section 1.7                                    Governmental Approvals and
Third-Party Consents.

 

(a)                                 Obtaining Consents.  To the extent that the
consummation of the Red Lion Restructuring requires any third-party Consents or
Governmental Approvals, subject to the next two sentences, the Parties will use
their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Consents or
Governmental Approvals, as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to the
limitations set forth in Section 1.7(b).  However, unless required to do so in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement, Navy will
under no circumstance be required to make any payments or offer or grant any
accommodation (financial or otherwise, regardless of any provision to the
contrary in the underlying Contract, including any requirements for the securing
or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments, or the
furnishing of any guarantees) to any third party to obtain any Consent or
Governmental Approvals unless and to the extent that Red Lion or Penny agrees to
reimburse and make whole Navy to Navy’s reasonable satisfaction for any payment
or other accommodation made by Navy at Red Lion’s request.  Red Lion hereby
agrees to reimburse and make whole Navy to Navy’s reasonable satisfaction any
payment or other accommodation made by Navy in respect of the third-party
Consents or Governmental Approvals specifically identified as a “Required
Consent” on Schedule 1.7 in an aggregate amount not exceeding that amount set
forth in Schedule 1.7.  Red Lion agrees that in the event that any third party
or Governmental Authority requests that Navy make a payment or offer or grant an
accommodation to obtain a third-party Consents or Governmental Approvals and Red
Lion does not agree to reimburse or make whole Navy in connection therewith, Red
Lion shall not be entitled to the benefits of the provision in, Navy will not be
obligated to take any efforts under, Section 1.7(c) in respect of any Red Lion
Asset, Red Lion Liability, Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability which Conveyance
is subject to such third-party Consents or Governmental Approvals.  For the
avoidance of doubt, the required efforts and responsibilities of the Parties
(i) to seek the Consents necessary to provide the Services (as defined in the
Red Lion TSA) will be governed by Article III of the Red Lion TSA and (ii) to
seek the Requisite Regulatory Approvals (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and
the Required Penny Vote (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be governed by
the Merger Agreement.  The obligations set forth in this

 

10

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 1.7(a) will terminate on the one-year anniversary of the Separation Time
(except for any such Consent or Governmental Approvals as are in the process of
being obtained on such date, as to which such obligations will continue).

 

(b)                                 Transfer in Violation of Laws or Requiring
Consent or Governmental Approval.  If and to the extent that the valid, complete
and perfected Conveyance to the Red Lion Group of any Red Lion Asset or Red Lion
Liability, or to the Navy Group of any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability,
would be a violation of applicable Laws or require any Consent or Governmental
Approval in connection with the Red Lion Restructuring or the Recapitalization,
then notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Conveyance to the Red Lion
Group of any such Red Lion Asset or Red Lion Liability, or to the Navy Group of
any such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, will automatically be deferred,
and no Conveyance will occur until all legal or contractual impediments are
removed or such Consents or Governmental Approvals have been obtained.  Any
Asset or Liability which Conveyance has been so deferred will still be
considered a Red Lion Asset, a Red Lion Liability, an Excluded Asset, or an
Excluded Liability, as applicable, and will be subject to Section 1.7(c). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Navy or Red Lion may elect to require the
immediate Conveyance of any Red Lion Asset, Red Lion Liability, Excluded Asset
or Excluded Liability notwithstanding any requirement that an immaterial Consent
or immaterial Governmental Approval be obtained; provided that (i) if Red Lion
so elects to require the immediate Conveyance of any such Asset or Liability,
any Liabilities arising from such Conveyance will be deemed to be Red Lion
Liabilities, (ii) if Navy so elects to require the immediate Conveyance of any
such Asset or Liability, any Liabilities arising from such Conveyance will be
deemed to be Excluded Liabilities, and (iii) if Red Lion and Navy jointly agree
to immediately Convey such Asset or Liability, any Liabilities arising from such
Conveyance will be shared evenly between Red Lion and Navy and, notwithstanding
any provision in Section 3.5(b) to the contrary, the defense of any Third-Party
Claim relating thereto will be jointly managed by Red Lion and Navy.  The
Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain any
Consents or Governmental Approvals as required by Section 1.7(a) and to take the
actions required by Section 1.7(c) pending removal of legal or contractual
impediments or receipt of Consents or Governmental Approvals.  If and when the
legal or contractual impediments the presence of which caused the deferral of
transfer of any Asset or Liability pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) are removed
or any Consents and/or Governmental Approvals the absence of which caused the
deferral of transfer of any Asset or Liability pursuant to this
Section 1.7(b) are obtained, the transfer of the applicable Asset or Liability
will be effected promptly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or
the applicable Ancillary Agreement(s).  The obligations set forth in this
Section 1.7(b) will terminate on the one-year anniversary of the Separation Time
(except to the extent of any Conveyance for which impediments are being removed
or Consents or Governmental Approvals as are in the process of being obtained on
such date, as to which such obligations will continue).

 

(c)                                  Conveyances Not Consummated Prior To or At
the Separation Time.  Subject to the third sentence of Section 1.7(a), if the
Conveyance of any Asset or Liability intended to be Conveyed is not consummated
prior to or at the Separation Time, whether as a result of the provisions of
Section 1.7(b) or for any other reason (including any misallocated transfers
subject to Section 1.3), then, insofar as reasonably possible (taking into
account any applicable restrictions or considerations relating to the
contemplated Tax treatment of the Transactions) and to the extent permitted by
applicable Law, the Person retaining such Asset or Liability, as the

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

case may be, (i) will thereafter hold such Asset or Liability, as the case may
be, in trust for the use and benefit and burden of the Person entitled thereto
(and at such Person’s sole expense) until the consummation of the Conveyance
thereof (or as otherwise determined by Navy and Red Lion, as applicable, in
accordance with Section 1.7(b)), and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to
take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Person to whom
such Asset or Liability is to be Conveyed (at the expense of the Person holding
such Asset or Liability, as the case may be) in order to place such Person in
substantially the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Conveyed
as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such
Asset or Liability, as the case may be, including possession, use, risk of loss,
potential for gain, any Tax liabilities in respect thereof and dominion, control
and command over such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, are to inure from
and after the Separation Time to the Person to whom such Asset or Liability is
to be Conveyed.  Any Person retaining an Asset or a Liability due to the
deferral of the Conveyance of such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, will
not be required, in connection with the foregoing, to make any payments or offer
or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, regardless of any provision
to the contrary in the underlying Contract, including any requirements for the
securing or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments, or
the furnishing of any guarantees) to any third party, except to the extent that
the Person entitled to the Asset or responsible for the Liability, as
applicable, agrees to reimburse and make whole the Person retaining an Asset or
a Liability, to such Person’s reasonable satisfaction, for any payment or other
accommodation made by the Person retaining an Asset or a Liability at the
request of the Person entitled to the Asset or responsible for the Liability. 
The obligations set forth in this Section 1.7(c) will terminate on the one-year
anniversary of the Separation Time (except of any such Conveyances as are in the
process of being consummated on such date, as to which such obligations will
continue).

 

Section 1.8                                    No Representation or Warranty. 
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE MERGER
AGREEMENT, RED LION (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND MEMBERS OF THE RED LION GROUP)
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NONE OF NAVY NOR ANY MEMBER OF THE NAVY GROUP MAKES ANY
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY HEREIN AS TO ANY MATTER
WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO:  (A) THE
CONDITION OR THE VALUE OF ANY RED LION ASSET OR THE AMOUNT OF ANY RED LION
LIABILITY; (B) THE FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTEREST OF ANY RED LION ASSET;
(C) THE ABSENCE OF DEFENSES OR FREEDOM FROM COUNTERCLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY
CLAIM TO BE CONVEYED TO RED LION OR HELD BY A MEMBER OF THE RED LION GROUP; OR
(D) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE OR TITLE.  EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT
OR IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT, RED LION (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND MEMBERS OF THE RED
LION GROUP) FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL OTHER WARRANTIES THAT NAVY OR ANY
MEMBER OF THE NAVY GROUP GAVE OR MIGHT HAVE GIVEN, OR WHICH MIGHT BE PROVIDED OR
IMPLIED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR COMMERCIAL PRACTICE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY
EXCLUDED.  EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN
THE MERGER

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

AGREEMENT, ALL ASSETS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO RED LION (AND ALL OF THE RED LION
ASSETS HELD BY THE RED LION ENTITIES) WILL BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT ANY COVENANT,
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) AND ARE HELD “AS IS,
WHERE IS” AND FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING RED LION WILL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND
LEGAL RISK THAT ANY CONVEYANCE WILL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN RED LION
GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST OR ANY
NECESSARY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS THAT ARE NOT OBTAINED OR THAT ANY
REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH.

 

Section 1.9                                    Waiver of Bulk-Sales Laws.  Each
Party hereby waives compliance by each member of their respective Group with the
requirements and provisions of the “bulk-sale” or “bulk-transfer” Laws of any
jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the transfer or
sale of any or all of the Assets to any member of the Navy Group or Red Lion
Group, as applicable.

 

Section 1.10                             Real Property Leases; Guarantees.

 

(a)                                 On or prior to the Separation Time or as
soon as practicable thereafter, Red Lion will, at the direction and expense of
Navy, use its reasonable best efforts to have any member(s) of the Navy Group
removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Red Lion Liability to the extent that
they relate to Red Lion Liabilities (with the reasonable cooperation of the
applicable member(s) of the Navy Group).

 

(b)                                 On or prior to the Separation Time, to the
extent required to obtain a release from an agreement (including any lease of a
Real Property Interest) or a guarantee (each, a “Guarantee Release”) of any
member of the Navy Group, Red Lion will use its reasonable best efforts to
execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing agreement or guarantee
or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such agreement or
guarantee.

 

(c)                                  If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to
cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in clauses (a) and
(b) of this Section 1.10, (i) Red Lion will, and will cause the other members of
the Red Lion Group (including after the Effective Time, the Penny Group) to,
indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Navy Indemnitees for any
Liability arising from or relating to such agreement or guarantee and will, as
agent or subcontractor for the applicable Navy Group guarantor or obligor, pay,
perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such
guarantor or obligor thereunder when due, and (ii) Red Lion will not, and will
cause the other members of the Red Lion Group not to, agree to renew or extend
the term of, increase any obligations under, or transfer to a third Person, any
loan, guarantee, lease, contract or other obligation for which a member of the
Navy Group is or may be liable unless all obligations of the members of the Navy
Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation
satisfactory in form and substance to Navy in its sole discretion.

 

(d)                                 On or prior to the Separation Time or as
soon as practicable thereafter, Navy will, at its expense, use its reasonable
best efforts to have any member(s) of the Red Lion Group removed as guarantor of
or obligor for any Excluded Liability to the extent that they relate to

 

13

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Excluded Liabilities (with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable
member(s) of the Red Lion Group or Penny Group).

 

(e)                                  On or prior to the Separation Time, to the
extent required to obtain a Guarantee Release of any member of the Red Lion
Group, Navy will use its reasonable best efforts to execute a guarantee
agreement in the form of the existing agreement or guarantee or such other form
as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such agreement or guarantee.

 

(f)                                   If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to
cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in clauses (d) and
(e) of this Section 1.10, (i) Navy will, and will cause the other members of the
Navy Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Red Lion
Indemnitees for any Liability arising from or relating to such agreement or
guarantee and will, as agent or subcontractor for the applicable Red Lion Group
guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or
other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder when due, and
(ii) Navy will not, and will cause the other members of the Navy Group not to,
agree to renew or extend the term of, increase any obligations under, or

obligation for which a member of the Red Lion Group is or may be liable unless
all obligations of the members of the Red Lion Group with respect thereto are
thereupon terminated by documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Red
Lion in its sole discretion.

 

Section 1.11                             Exemption Certificates.  Navy will
cause Red Lion or a Subsidiary of Red Lion, as applicable, to use commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver to Navy on or before the Separation Date properly
executed resale exemption certificates and requisite tax registration numbers
for the Red Lion Inventory (and, where relevant in accordance with applicable
local Law, for any tangible personal property and any other Red Lion Assets),
and such other certificates and documentation as may be required to reasonably
evidence any exemption from transfer Taxes.  For the avoidance of doubt, the
Parties, as applicable, are and remain responsible for all transfer Taxes in
accordance with the Tax Matters Agreement.

anything herein to the contrary, the Notes will survive the Separation Time.  At

ARTICLE II

 

CLOSING OF THE RED LION RESTRUCTURING;
POST-CLOSING WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT

 

Section 2.1                                    Separation Time.  Unless
otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, and subject
to the satisfaction and waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2, the
effective time and date of each Conveyance and assumption of any Asset or
Liability in accordance with Article I in connection with the Red Lion
Restructuring will be no later than 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the Business
Day anticipated to precede the Closing Date (such time, the “Separation Time,”
and such date, the “Separation Date”).

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Section 2.2                                    Conditions to the Red Lion
Restructuring.  The obligations of Navy pursuant to this Agreement to effect the
Red Lion Restructuring are subject to the fulfillment (or waiver by Navy) at or
prior to the Separation Time of the condition that each of the parties to the
Merger Agreement has irrevocably confirmed to each other that each condition in
Article VII of the Merger Agreement (other than Sections 7.1(f) and
7.2(f) thereto) to such party’s respective obligations to effect the Merger
(i) has been fulfilled, (ii) will be fulfilled at the Effective Time, or
(iii) is or has been waived by such party in accordance with the terms of the
Merger Agreement, as the case may be; provided, however, that unless the Merger
Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any such
waiver shall be subject to the written consent of Penny.

 

Section 2.3                                    Recapitalization of Red Lion.  In
connection with the Conveyance of Assets contemplated by Section 1.1,
immediately prior to the Effective Time, Red Lion will issue to Navy or one of
its wholly owned Subsidiaries a number of Red Lion Common Shares such that the
total number of Red Lion Common Shares owned by Navy and its Subsidiaries
immediately thereafter (the “Red Lion Share Issuance”) will equal (a) the Penny
Base Share Number, divided by (b) .4975, multiplied by (c) .5025.  Subject to
the last sentence of this Section 2.3, the “Penny Base Share Number” shall equal
61,920,092, which, as calculated on Schedule 2.3, represents the sum of:

 

(i)                                     the total number of shares of Penny
Common Stock (including Restricted Penny Shares, whether or not vested)
outstanding as of the date hereof multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;

 

(ii)                                  the total number of shares of Penny Common
Stock subject to issuance upon the exercise or payment of any Penny Stock
Options (whether vested or unvested) outstanding as of the date hereof
multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;

 

(iii)                               the total number of shares of Penny Common
Stock that would be issued (including Restricted Penny Shares, whether or not
vested) or would be subject to issuance upon the exercise or payment of Penny
Stock Options (whether vested or unvested) if Penny issued all of the Penny
Stock Options and/or Restricted Penny Shares that it is permitted to issue
pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(ii) of the Merger Agreement multiplied by the
Exchange Ratio;

 

(iv)                              the total number of Red Lion Common Shares
subject to issuance upon the exercise or payment of options or other rights to
acquire Red Lion Common Shares expected to be issued to employees of Penny or
Red Lion in connection with the Merger, whether before, at or after the
Effective Time (other than Adjusted Options and Navy Adjusted Options);

 

(v)                                 the total number of shares of Red Lion
Common Shares that will be subject to issuance upon the exercise or payment of
any Navy Adjusted Options (whether vested or unvested) at the Effective Time if
all of the Navy Stock Options outstanding as of the date hereof that are subject
to conversion into Navy Adjusted Options at the Effective Time pursuant to
Section 2.4(a) of the Merger Agreement are so converted; and

 

15

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(vi)                              the total number of Adjusted Navy Restricted
Shares, whether vested or unvested, that will be outstanding at the Effective
Time if all of the Restricted Navy Shares outstanding as of the date hereof and
subject to conversion into Adjusted Navy Restricted Shares at the Effective Time
pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Merger Agreement are so converted.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the parties reasonably determine that the
calculation set forth on Schedule 2.3 is erroneous (whether because of a
computational error, an error in counting the correct number of shares or other
instruments, or any other reason) such that Navy has not been issued shares
equal the number of shares intended by this Section 2.3, then the parties shall
amend Schedule 2.3 to correct such error and the Penny Base Share Number shall
be modified accordingly, (y) if Penny issues any shares of Penny Common Stock
(including Restricted Penny Shares, whether or not vested), Penny Stock Options
or other capital stock or securities, or Red Lion issues (with Penny’s consent
if occurring prior to the Effective Time) any options or other rights to acquire
Red Lion Common Shares to employees of Penny or Red Lion in connection with the
Merger, in either case from and after the date hereof (other than (A) in an
issuance pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(ii) of the Merger Agreement that the Merger
Agreement expressly provides does not require the prior consent of Navy or
(B) for shares already included in the calculation pursuant to clause
(iv) above), or (z) if Navy, with the consent of Penny, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, issues any Navy Stock Options or Restricted Navy Shares
that are subject to conversion into Navy Adjusted Options or Adjusted Navy
Restricted Shares, respectively, at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.4
of the Merger Agreement, then the Penny Base Share Number shall be increased by
the number of such shares issued or subject to issuance, as applicable, and if
necessary additional Red Lion Common Shares will be issued to Navy at or after
the Effective Time, with effect retroactive to the Effective Time (including
with respect to distributions paid on such Red Lion Common Shares from and after
the Effective Time), in each case so that Navy has been issued shares equal to
(a) the Penny Base Share Number as so revised, divided by (b) .4975, multiplied
by (c) .5025.

of each of the individuals who serve as an officer or director of any member of
the Red Lion Group including those as set forth on Schedule 2.4(a)(vii) in their

each case where any member of the Red Lion Group is a party to any Ancillary

of the Red Lion Group party thereto; and

 

(ii)                                                                      all
necessary Transfer Documents as described in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

 

Section 2.5                                    Transfer of Red Lion Assets and
Assumption of Red Lion Liabilities.  In furtherance of the Conveyance of Red
Lion Assets and the assumption of Red Lion Liabilities as provided in
Section 1.1:  (a) Navy will, and will cause its Subsidiaries, to execute and
deliver, such bills of sale, quitclaim deeds, stock powers, certificates of
title, assignments of contracts and other instruments of transfer, Conveyance
and assignment, as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the
Conveyance of all of Navy’s and its Subsidiaries’ (other than Red Lion and its
Subsidiaries) right, title and interest in and to the Red Lion Assets to Red
Lion and its Subsidiaries and (b) Red Lion will execute and deliver such
assumptions of Contracts and other instruments of assumption as and to the
extent reasonably necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption of
the Red Lion Liabilities by Red Lion.  All of the foregoing documents
contemplated by this Section 2.5 will be referred to, collectively, herein as
the “Navy Transfer Documents.”  For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations with
respect to the Conveyance of Red Lion Assets and the assumption of Red Lion
Liabilities provided in Section 1.1, and the execution and delivery of documents
provided in this Section 2.5, does not extend to the Conveyance of, or execution
or delivery of documents with respect to, any Red Lion Assets that are already
held as of the Separation Time by Red Lion or a Red Lion Entity (which Red Lion

 

17

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Asset will continue to be held by Red Lion or such Red Lion Entity) or any Red
Lion Liabilities that as of the Separation Time is already a Liability of Red
Lion or a Red Lion Entity (which Red Lion Liability will continue to be a
Liability of Red Lion or such Red Lion Entity).

 

Section 2.6                                    Transfer of Excluded Assets;
Assumption of Excluded Liabilities.  In furtherance of the Conveyance of
Excluded Assets and the assumption of Excluded Liabilities provided in
Section 1.2:  (a) Red Lion will execute and deliver, and will cause its
Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such bills of sale, quitclaim deeds, stock
powers, certificates of title, assignments of contracts and other instruments of
transfer, Conveyance and assignment as and to the extent reasonably necessary to
evidence the Conveyance of all of Red Lion’s and its Subsidiaries’ right, title
and interest in and to the Excluded Assets to Navy and its Subsidiaries and
(b) Navy will execute and deliver such assumptions of Contracts and other
instruments of assumption as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence
the valid and effective assumption of the Excluded Liabilities by Navy.  All of
the foregoing documents contemplated by this Section 2.6 will be referred to,
collectively, herein as the “Red Lion Transfer Documents” and, together with the
Navy Transfer Documents, the “Transfer Documents.”

 

Section 2.7                                    Working Capital Adjustment.

 

(a)                                 At least five days prior to the Separation
Date, Red Lion will prepare and deliver to Navy a statement setting forth a
good-faith estimate of the Adjustment Amount (such estimate, the “Estimated
Closing Adjustment Statement”).  On the Separation Date, (i) if the Estimated
Adjustment Payment, if any, is positive, Red Lion shall pay to Navy the
Estimated Adjustment Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
a bank account designated by Navy and (ii) if the Estimated Adjustment Payment,
if any, is negative, Navy shall pay to Red Lion the absolute value of the
Estimated Adjustment Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
a bank account designated by Red Lion.  The “Estimated Adjustment Payment” will
be equal to the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Closing Adjustment
Statement.

 

(b)                                 Within 60 days following the Separation
Date, Red Lion will prepare and deliver to Navy a statement setting forth the
Adjustment Amount (the “Closing Adjustment Statement”).  Upon the reasonable
request of Red Lion, Navy will provide (or will cause a member of the Navy Group
to provide) to Red Lion and its accountants access to the books and records, any
other information, including working papers of its accountants, and to any
employees of Navy or any other member of the Navy Group necessary for Red Lion
to prepare the Closing Adjustment Statement, to respond to any Navy Objection
and to prepare materials for presentation to the Accounting Firm in connection
with this Section 2.7 and Navy will otherwise cooperate with and assist Red Lion
as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section 2.7.

 

(c)                                  For a period of 45 days after delivery of
the Closing Adjustment Statement, Red Lion will make available to Navy all
books, records, work papers, personnel (including their accountants and
employees) and other materials and sources used by Red Lion to prepare the
Closing Adjustment Statement and not already in the possession or under the
control of Navy.  The Closing Adjustment Statement will be binding and
conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, Navy unless Navy has notified Red Lion
in writing within 45 days after delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement of
any good faith objection thereto (the “Navy Objection”).  Any

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Navy Objection will set forth a description of the basis of the Navy Objection
and the adjustments to the line items reflected on the Closing Adjustment
Statement which Navy believes should be made.  Any items not disputed during the
foregoing 45-day period will be deemed to have been accepted by Navy.

 

(d)                                 If Navy and Red Lion are unable to resolve
any of their disputes with respect to the Closing Adjustment Statement within
30 days following Red Lion’s receipt of the Navy Objection to such Closing
Adjustment Statement pursuant to Section 2.7(c), they will refer their remaining
differences to a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as
to which Navy and Red Lion mutually agree (the “Accounting Firm”) for a
decision, which decision will be final and binding on the Parties.  The
Accounting Firm will act as an expert and not an arbitrator and will address
only those items in dispute, in accordance with any provisions or policies set
forth herein and in the Accounting Exhibit, and for each item may not assign a
value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or
smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party.  Any
expenses relating to the engagement of the Accounting Firm will be shared
equally by Navy, on one hand, and Red Lion, on the other hand.

 

(e)                                  The Closing Adjustment Statement will
become final and binding on the Parties upon the earliest of (i) if no Navy
Objection has been given, the expiration of the period within which Navy must
make its objection pursuant to Section 2.7(e), (ii) agreement in writing by Navy
and Red Lion that the Closing Adjustment Statement, together with any
modifications thereto agreed by Navy and Red Lion, will be final and binding,
and (iii) the date on which the Accounting Firm issues its written determination
with respect to any dispute relating to such Closing Adjustment Statement.  The
Closing Adjustment Statement, as submitted by Red Lion if no timely Navy
Objection has been given, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between the
Parties or as determined pursuant to the decision of the Accounting Firm, when
final and binding on all Parties and upon which a judgment may be entered by a
court of competent jurisdiction, is herein referred to as the “Final Closing
Adjustment Statement.”

 

(f)                                                     Within five Business
Days following issuance of the Final Closing Adjustment Statement, the
adjustment payment payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) (the “Adjustment
Payment”) will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank
account designated by Navy or Red Lion, as the case may be.  The “Final
Adjustment Payment” will be equal to the Adjustment Amount as reflected on the
Final Adjustment Statement.  The Adjustment Payment will be equal to the Final
Adjustment Payment minus the Estimated Adjustment Payment.  The Adjustment
Payment, if any, will be payable by Red Lion to Navy, if positive, and if the
Adjustment Payment is negative, an amount equal to the absolute value of such
Adjustment Payment will be payable by Navy to Red Lion.  The Parties acknowledge
that the provisions of this Section 2.7 are intended to implement the agreement
of the Parties that cash generated by the Red Lion Group through the Separation
Time is for the benefit of Navy and its shareholders.  The Parties further
acknowledge that prior to the Separation Time they may cause cash of the Red
Lion Group to be transferred to Navy.

and all Liabilities whatsoever, whether at Law or in equity (including any right

Section 3.1(a) or Section 3.1(b) releases or will release any Person from (nor
impairs or will impair any right of any Person to enforce the applicable
agreements, arrangements, commitments or understandings relating thereto):

 

(i)                                                                         any

(iv)                                                                  any
Liability for unpaid amounts for products or services or refunds owing on
products or services due on a value-received basis for work done by a member of
one Group at the request or on behalf of a member of the other Group;

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(v)                                                                     any
Liability that the Parties may have with respect to indemnification or
contribution pursuant to this Agreement, which Liability is governed by the
provisions of this Article III, Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 and any applicable
provisions of the Ancillary Agreements (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
any Liability for pre-Closing Taxes governed by the Tax Matters Agreement) or
the Merger Agreement; or

 

(vi)                                                                  any
Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other
than a Person released pursuant to this Section 3.1.

 

(d)                                 No Actions as to Released Pre-Separation
Time Claims.  Red Lion will not, and will cause its Affiliates not to, make any
claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including
any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Navy or any member of
the Navy Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 3.1(a), with
respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 3.1(a).  Navy will not,
and will cause each other member of the Navy Group not to, make any claim or
demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any
claim of contribution or any indemnification, against Red Lion or any member of
the Red Lion Group, or any other Person released pursuant to Section 3.1(b),
with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 3.1(b).

 

(e)                                  General Intent.  It is the intent of each
of Navy and Red Lion, by virtue of the provisions of this Section 3.1, to
provide for a full and complete release and discharge of all Liabilities
existing or arising from all acts and events occurring or failing to occur or
alleged to have occurred or to have failed to occur and all conditions existing
or alleged to have existed on or before the Separation Time, between or among
Red Lion or any member of the Red Lion Group, on the one hand, and Navy or any
member of the Navy Group, on the other hand (including any contractual
agreements or arrangements existing or alleged to exist between or among any
such members on or before the Separation Time), except as expressly set forth in
Section 3.1(c).  At any time, at the request of any other Party, each Party will
cause each member of its respective Group to execute and deliver releases
reflecting the provisions hereof.

 

Section 3.2                                    Indemnification By the Red Lion
Group.  Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of the
Ancillary Agreements, from and after the Separation Time, Red Lion, and each
member of the Red Lion Group, will, on a joint and several basis, indemnify,
defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless the
Navy Indemnitees from and against, and will reimburse such Navy Indemnitees with
respect to, any and all Losses that result from, relate to or arise, whether
prior to, at or following the Separation Time, out of any of the following items
(without duplication):

 

(a)                                 the Red Lion Liabilities and the Liabilities
of the Red Lion Group, including the failure of Red Lion or any other member of
the Red Lion Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and,
to the extent applicable, comply with, in due course and in full, any such
Liabilities;

 

(b)                                 any guarantee, indemnification obligation,
surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or
understanding for the benefit of any member of the Red Lion Group by Navy or any
of its Subsidiaries (other than any member of the Red Lion Group) that survives
following the Separation Time;

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(c)                                  any breach by Red Lion or any other member
of the Red Lion Group of any obligations to be performed by such Persons
pursuant to this Agreement or the Employee Benefits Agreement subsequent to the
Separation Time; and

 

(d)                                 the enforcement by the Navy Indemnitees of
their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this
Section 3.2.

 

Section 3.3                                    Indemnification By Navy.  Without
limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of the Ancillary
Agreements or the Merger Agreement, from and after the Separation Time, Navy,
and each member of the Navy Group, will, on a joint and several basis,
indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold
harmless the Red Lion Indemnitees from and against, and will reimburse such Red
Lion Indemnitee with respect to, any and all Losses that result from, relate to
or arise, whether prior to or following the Separation Time, out of any of the
following items (without duplication):

 

(a)                                 the Excluded Liabilities and the Liabilities
of the Navy Group, including the failure of Navy or any other member of the Navy
Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and, to the extent
applicable, comply with, in due course and in full such Liabilities;

 

(b)                                 any guarantee, indemnification obligation,
surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or
understanding for the benefit of any member of the Navy Group by Red Lion or any
of its Subsidiaries (other than any member of the Navy Group) that survives
following the Separation Time;

 

(c)                                  any breach by Navy or any other member of
the Navy Group of any obligations to be performed by such Persons pursuant to
this Agreement or the Employee Benefits Agreement subsequent to the Separation
Time;

 

(d)                                 the enforcement by the Red Lion Indemnitees
of their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this
Section 3.3; and

 

(e)                                  the termination of, or failure to meet
requirements under, the agreements set forth in Schedule 3.3(e).

 

Section 3.4                                    Payments; Reductions for
Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries.

 

(a)                                 Payments.  Indemnification payments in
respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification under this Article III will be paid by the Indemnifying Party to
the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee,
including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the
amount of such indemnification payment, including documentation with respect to
calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually
reduce the amount of such Liabilities.  The indemnity agreements contained in
this Article III will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless
of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, (ii) the
knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to
indemnification hereunder and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(b)                                 Insurance Proceeds.  The amount that any
Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on
behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, as applicable,
will be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by any Insurance Proceeds or
other amounts actually recovered from third parties (including any captive
insurance companies of the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates) by or on behalf
of such Indemnitee in respect of the related Loss (net of increased insurance
premiums and charges related directly and solely to the related indemnifiable
Losses and costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses)
incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with seeking to collect and collecting
such amounts).  The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for monies from an
insurer or against a third party in respect of any indemnifiable Loss will not,
however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained
herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. 
Rather, the Indemnifying Party will make payment in full of the amount
determined to be due and owing by it against an assignment by the Indemnitee to
the Indemnifying Party of the entire claim of the Indemnitee for Insurance
Proceeds or against such third party.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of
this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other
third party will be (i) entitled to a “windfall” or other benefit it would not
be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification
provisions or otherwise have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, or
(ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

 

(c)                                  Tax Treatment of Payments.  In the absence
of a Final Determination to the contrary, any amount payable by Red Lion to Navy
under this Agreement will be treated as occurring immediately prior to the Red
Lion Restructuring, as an inter-company distribution, and any amount payable by
Navy to Red Lion under this Agreement will be treated as occurring immediately
prior to the Red Lion Restructuring, as a contribution to capital.

 

Section 3.5                                    Procedures for Defense,
Settlement and Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

 

(a)                                 Direct Claims.  Any claim on account of
indemnifiable Losses that does not involve a Third-Party Claim will be asserted
by reasonably prompt written notice given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying
Party from whom such indemnification is sought.  The failure by any Indemnitee
so to give notice as provided in this Section 3.5(a) will not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article III, except to the
extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure
to give notice.

 

(b)                                 Third-Party Claims.

 

(i)                                                                        
Notice Of Claims.  If an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise learns of the
assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member
of the Navy Group or Red Lion Group or any of their respective Affiliates of any
claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action with respect to
which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification
(collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnitee will give such
Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (a “Claims Notice”) thereof but in any
event within 15 calendar days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. 
Any such notice will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and
include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by
the Indemnitee

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

relating to the Third-Party Claim.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or
failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this
Section 3.5(b)(i) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations
under this Article III, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is
actually prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice.

 

(ii)                                                                     
Opportunity to Defend.  The Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by
written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days after receipt of a Claims Notice
from the Indemnitee of the commencement or assertion of any Third-Party Claim in
respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article III, to assume and
conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the limits set
forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the (A) defense
of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable
judgment of the Indemnitee, (1) if Navy is the Indemnifying Party, affect Penny
or any of its Controlled Affiliates (including after the Merger, any member of
the Red Lion Group) in an adverse manner and (2) if Red Lion is the Indemnifying
Party, affect Navy or any of its Controlled Affiliates in an adverse manner; and
(B) the Third-Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages
(the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) are, collectively, the
“Litigation Conditions”).  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense
of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 3.5(b), the Indemnitee
may continue to defend the Third-Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party has
assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 3.5(b),
the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of the Third-Party
Claim; provided, however, that if (x) either of the Litigation Conditions ceases
to be met or (y) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary
to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may assume its own
defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or
expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense.  The Indemnifying
Party or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, has the right to participate in
(but, subject to the prior sentence, not control), at its own expense, the
defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending as provided in this
Agreement.  The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any
Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior
written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of
any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim that (I) does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to
the Indemnitee of a complete release from all liability in respect of such
Third-Party Claim, (II) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief
affecting the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, or (III) in the reasonable
opinion of the Indemnitee, would otherwise adversely affect the Indemnitee or
any of its Affiliates.  The Indemnitee may settle any Third-Party Claim, the
defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, only with the
prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably
withheld.

 

Section 3.6                                    Additional Matters.

 

(a)                                 Cooperation in Defense and Settlement.  With
respect to any Third-Party Claim for which Red Lion, on the one hand, and Navy,
on the other hand, may have Liability under this Agreement or any of the
Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint
defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint
defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such
Liabilities and defense costs associated

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

therewith.  The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such
Third-Party Claims will, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to
significant matters relating thereto and may retain counsel to monitor or assist
in the defense of such claims at its own cost.

 

(b)                                 Certain Actions.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in Section 3.5, Navy may elect to have exclusive
authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of
all Actions pending at the Separation Time which relate to or arise out of the
Red Lion Business, the Red Lion Assets or the Red Lion Liabilities if such
Action also relates to the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities and a member
of the Navy Group is also named as a target or defendant thereunder (but
excluding any such Actions which solely relate to or solely arise in connection
with the Red Lion Business, the Red Lion Assets or the Red Lion Liabilities);
provided that (i) Navy will consult with Red Lion on a regular basis with
respect to strategy and developments with respect to any such Action, (ii) if
Navy fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Action,
Red Lion may assume such defense, and Navy will be liable for all reasonable
costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense, (iii) Red
Lion has the right to participate in (but, subject to clause (ii) above, not
control) the defense of such Action, and (iv) Navy must obtain the written
consent of Red Lion, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to
settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to such
Action if such settlement, consent or judgment would (A) provide for injunctive
or other nonmonetary relief affecting Red Lion or any of its Affiliates, or
(B) in the reasonable opinion of Red Lion, would otherwise adversely affect Red
Lion or any of its Affiliates.  After any such compromise, settlement, consent
to entry of judgment or entry of judgment, Navy and Red Lion will agree upon a
reasonable allocation to Red Lion and Red Lion will be responsible for or
receive, as the case may be, Red Lion’s proportionate share of any such
compromise, settlement, consent or judgment attributable to the Red Lion
Business, the Red Lion Assets or the Red Lion Liabilities, including its
proportionate share of the reasonable costs and expenses associated with
defending same.

 

(c)                                  Substitution.  In the event of an Action
that involves solely matters that are indemnifiable and in which the
Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or the
Indemnifying Party so requests, the Parties will endeavor to substitute the
Indemnifying Party for the named defendant.  If such substitution or addition
cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the rights and
obligations of the Parties regarding indemnification and the management of the
defense of claims as set forth in this Article III will not be affected.

 

(d)                                 Subrogation.  In the event of payment by or
on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of any Indemnitee in
connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party will be
subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnitee, in whole or in
part based upon whether the Indemnifying Party has paid all or only part of the
Indemnitee’s Liability, as to any events or circumstances in respect of which
such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such
Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party
Claim or against any other Person.  Such Indemnitee will cooperate with such
Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such
Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

(e)                                  Not Applicable to Taxes.  Except for
Section 3.4(c) and as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement
will not apply to Taxes (which are covered by the Tax Matters Agreement).  In
the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement in
relation to any matters addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters
Agreement will prevail.

 

(f)                                   Environmental Claims.  In the event of any
claim pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to the presence or release of any
Hazardous Materials on any real property owned or operated by Penny, Red Lion or
any Affiliate thereof, (i) Navy has the right, exercisable by written notice to
the Red Lion Indemnitee, to assume control of and conduct any investigation or
remedial action with respect thereto, (ii) Penny shall grant Navy reasonable
access to such real property to perform any such investigation or remedial
action, (iii) such investigation or remedial action shall be conducted in a
manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the use of such real property,
and (iv) if Navy determines that remedial action is required pursuant to
Environmental Law, Penny hereby consents to the use of any engineered barriers
or institutional controls that would not unreasonably interfere with Penny’s
future use of such real property; provided that (A) Navy will consult with the
Red Lion Indemnitee on a regular basis with respect to any material developments
in such investigation or remedial action, (B) in the event that Navy receives a
written notice of violation from the applicable Governmental Authority alleging
a material failure by Navy to perform any such investigation or remedial action
and Navy fails to cure such alleged violation within a reasonable period of time
(which in no event shall be less than 120 days after the receipt of such written
notice), Red Lion has the right, exercisable by reasonable written notice from
the Red Lion Indemnitee to Navy, to assume control of such investigation or

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

 

Section 4.1                                    Further Assurances.  Subject to
the limitations of Section 1.7:

 

(a)                                 In addition to the actions specifically
provided for elsewhere in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, each of
the Parties hereto will cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their
respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts,
prior to, at and after the Separation Time, to take, or to cause to be taken,
all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary,
proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law or Contractual obligations
to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly as reasonably practicable.

 

(b)                                 Without limiting the generality of
Section 4.1(a), where the cooperation of third parties such as insurers or
trustees would be necessary in order for a Party to completely fulfill its
obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, such Party will
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third parties to provide such
cooperation.  If any Affiliate of Navy or Red Lion is not a party to this
Agreement or, as applicable, any Ancillary Agreement, and it becomes necessary
or desirable for such Affiliate to be a party hereto or thereto to carry out the
purpose hereof or thereof, then Navy or Red Lion, as applicable, will cause such
Affiliate to become a party hereto or thereto or cause such Affiliate to
undertake such actions as if such Affiliate were such a party.

 

(c)                                  Prior to the Separation Time, in the event
that the Parties identify any tangible Asset (which, for the avoidance of doubt,
excludes any Assets that constitute Intellectual Property) that (i) is owned by
a member of the Navy Group, (ii) is not included in the Red Lion Assets or will
otherwise be made available to the Red Lion Business pursuant to the Red Lion
TSA or any of the other Ancillary Agreements, (iii) is not used primarily in, or
held primarily for the benefit of, the Red Lion Business and (iv) is necessary
to manufacture products of the Red Lion Business in a manner consistent with the
manner in which they have manufactured as of the date hereof, the Parties will
reasonably cooperate and negotiate in good faith to identify a mutually
acceptable, commercially reasonable arrangement pursuant to which such Asset
will be made available to the Red Lion Business subsequent to the Separation
Time for a reasonable period of time.

 

Section 4.2                                    Agreement For Exchange of
Information.

 

(a)                                 Generally.  Except as otherwise provided in
the TSAs and except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 4.2(a),
each Party, on behalf of its respective Group, will provide, or cause to be
provided, to the other Party’s Group, at any time after the Separation Time and
until the later of (x) the sixth anniversary of the Separation Time and (y) the

as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any Shared Information
in its possession or under its control.  Each of

Navy and Red Lion agree to make their respective personnel available during
regular business hours to discuss the Information exchanged pursuant to this

the data required for worker’s compensation claim handling and filings will
survive the sixth anniversary time period herein and will instead survive
indefinitely.

 

(b)                                 Financial Information for Navy.  Without
limitation to Section 4.2(a), until the end of the first full fiscal year
occurring after the Closing Date (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards
as required by Law for Navy to prepare consolidated financial statements or
complete a financial statement audit for any period during which the financial
results of the Red Lion Group were consolidated with those of Navy), Red Lion
will use its reasonable best efforts to enable Navy to meet its timetable for
dissemination of its financial statements and to enable Navy’s auditors to
timely complete their annual audit and quarterly reviews of financial
statements.  As part of such efforts, to the extent reasonably necessary for the
preparation of financial statements or completing an audit or review of
financial statements or an audit of internal control over financial reporting,
(i) Red Lion will authorize and direct its auditors to make available to Navy’s
auditors, within a reasonable time prior to the date of Navy’s auditors’ opinion
or review report, both (x) the personnel who performed or will perform the
annual audits and quarterly reviews of Red Lion and (y) work papers related to
such annual audits and quarterly reviews, to enable Navy’s auditors to perform
any procedures they consider reasonably necessary to take responsibility for the
work of Red Lion’s auditors as it relates to Navy’s auditors’ opinion or report
and (ii) until all governmental audits are complete, Red Lion will provide
reasonable access during normal business hours for Navy’s internal auditors,
counsel and other designated representatives to (x) the premises of Red Lion and
its Subsidiaries and all Information (and duplicating rights) within the
knowledge, possession or control of Red Lion and its Subsidiaries and (y) the
officers and employees of Red Lion and its Subsidiaries, so that Navy may
conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements provided by Red
Lion and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such access will not be
unreasonably disruptive to the business and affairs of the Red Lion Group.

 

(c)                                  Financial Information for Red Lion. 
Without limitation to Section 4.2(a), until the end of the second full fiscal
year occurring after the Closing Date (and for a reasonable period of time
afterwards or as required by Law), Navy will use its reasonable best efforts to
enable Red Lion to meet its timetable for dissemination of its financial
statements and to enable Red Lion’s auditors to timely complete their annual
audit and quarterly reviews of financial statements.  As part of such efforts,
to the extent reasonably necessary for the preparation of financial statements
or completing an audit or review of financial statements or an audit of internal
control over financial reporting, (i) Navy will authorize and direct its
auditors to make available to Red Lion’s auditors, within a reasonable time
prior to the date of Red Lion’s auditors’ opinion or review report, both (x) the
personnel who performed or will perform the annual audits and quarterly reviews
of Navy and (y) work papers related to such annual audits and quarterly reviews,
to enable Red Lion’s auditors to perform any procedures they consider reasonably
necessary to take responsibility for the work of Navy’s auditors as it relates
to Red Lion’s auditors’ opinion or report and (ii) until all governmental audits
are complete, Navy will provide reasonable access during normal business hours
for Red Lion’s internal auditors, counsel and other designated representatives
to (x) the premises of Navy and its Subsidiaries and all Information (and
duplicating rights) within the knowledge, possession or control of Navy and its

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Subsidiaries and (y) the officers and employees of Navy and its Subsidiaries, so
that Red Lion may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements
provided by Navy and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such access will
not be unreasonably disruptive to the business and affairs of the Navy Group.

 

(d)                                 Certifications.  In order to enable the
principal executive officer(s) and principal financial officer(s) (as such terms
are defined in the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission) of Navy to make any certifications required of them under
Section 302 or 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Red Lion will, within a
reasonable period of time following a request from Navy in anticipation of
filing such reports, cause its principal executive officer(s) and principal
financial officer(s) to provide Navy with certifications of such officers in
support of the certifications of Navy’s principal executive officer(s) and
principal financial officer(s) required under Section 302 or 906 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 with respect to Navy’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

such quarter is the fourth fiscal quarter), each subsequent fiscal quarter
through the third fiscal quarter of the year in which the Closing occurs and
Navy’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with respect to the fiscal year during
which the Closing occurs.  Such certifications will be provided in substantially
the same form and manner as such Red Lion officers provided prior to the Closing
(reflecting any changes in certifications necessitated by the Red Lion
Restructuring or the Recapitalization or and any other transactions related
thereto) or as otherwise agreed upon between Navy and Red Lion.

 

(e)                                  Limitations of Liability.  Neither Party
will have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any Information
exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement that is an estimate or
forecast, or that is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate
in the absence of willful misconduct by the providing Person.

 

(f)                                   Ownership of Information.  Any Information
owned by a Party that is provided to the other Party pursuant to this
Section 4.2 remains the property of the Party that owned and provided such
Information.  Each Party will, and will cause members of their respective Groups
to, remove and destroy any hard drives or other electronic data storage devices
from any computer or server that is reasonably likely to contain Information
that is protected by this Section 4.2 and that is transferred or sold to a
third-party or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Section 4.2(g), unless
required by Law to retain such materials.

 

(g)                                  Record Retention.  Each Party agrees to use
its commercially reasonable efforts to retain all Information that relates to
the operations of the Red Lion Business in its respective possession or control
at the Separation Time in accordance with the policies of Navy as in effect on
the Separation Time or such other policies as may be adopted by Navy thereafter
(provided, in the case of Red Lion, that Navy notify Red Lion of any such
change).  No Party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy,
any Information which the other Party may have the right to obtain pursuant to
this Agreement prior to the end of the retention period set forth in Navy’s
retention policies without first using its commercially reasonable efforts to
notify the other Party of the proposed destruction and giving the other Party
the opportunity to take possession or make copies of such Information prior to
such destruction.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 7.02 of the Tax
Matters Agreement will govern the retention of Tax Returns, schedules and work
papers and all material records or other documents relating thereto.

written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees,
other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses

otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person
(giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers,
employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may
reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting
Party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a
matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder.  The
requesting Party agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable
out-of-pocket costs, if any, incurred in connection therewith.

either Group or the Red Lion Business regardless of whether such employee was,
is or becomes an employee of Navy or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) all
Information generated, received or arising after the Separation Time that refers
or relates to and discloses Privileged Information of Red Lion or its Group

knowledge that any current or former employee of Navy or Red Lion, or any of
their respective Affiliates, as the case may be, receives any subpoena,
discovery or other request from any third party that actually or arguably calls
for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other, Navy or
Red Lion, as the case may be, will promptly notify the relevant other Party of
the existence of the request and will provide such other Party a reasonable
opportunity to review the Information and to assert any rights it may have under
this Section 4.3 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of
Privileged Information.  Navy or Red Lion, as the case may be, will not, and
will cause their respective Affiliates not to, produce or disclose to any third
party any of the other Party’s Privileged Information under this Section 4.3
unless (i) the other Party has provided its express written consent to such
production or disclosure or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction has entered
an Order not subject to interlocutory appeal or review finding that the

privilege, doctrine or rule.

pursuant to Section 4.2 and the disclosure to Red Lion and Navy of Privileged
Information relating to the Red Lion Business or the Non-Red Lion Business
pursuant to this Agreement in connection with the Red Lion Restructuring will
not be asserted by Navy or Red Lion to constitute, or otherwise deemed, a waiver
of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 4.3 or
otherwise.  Nothing in this Agreement will operate to reduce, minimize or
condition the rights

Lion by, this Section 4.3.

(a)                                 This Agreement may be amended and any
provision of this Agreement may be waived; provided that any such amendment or
waiver will be binding upon a Party only if such amendment or waiver is set
forth in a writing executed by such Party.  In addition, unless the Merger

of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party hereto under or by
reason of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 No delay or failure in exercising any right,
power or remedy hereunder will affect or operate as a waiver thereof; nor will
any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such a right, power or remedy preclude any further exercise
thereof or of any other right, power or remedy.  Any waiver, permit, consent or
approval of any kind or character of any breach or default under this Agreement
or any such waiver of any provision of this Agreement must satisfy the
conditions set forth in Section 5.6(a) and will be effective only to the extent
in such writing specifically set forth .

Section 5.8                                    Parties in Interest.  This
Agreement is binding upon and is for the benefit of the Parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.  Penny shall be a third-party
beneficiary of the rights of Red Lion under this Agreement.  This Agreement is
not made for the benefit of any Person not a Party hereto, and no Person other

this Agreement, except (i) as contemplated in the preceding sentence, (ii) for
the provisions of Article III with respect to indemnification of Indemnitees and

of Penny.

 

Section 5.9                                    Assignability.  No Party may
assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement without the
written consent of the other Party, except that a Party may assign its rights or
delegate its duties under this Agreement to a member of its Group; provided that
the member agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions contained

Article or Section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The table of
contents to this Agreement is for reference purposes only and shall not affect
in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  The descriptive
headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not
intended to be a substantive part

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  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,” “hereby,” “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.  All terms defined in this Agreement
shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document
made or delivered pursuant thereto unless otherwise defined therein.  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.  Any agreement, instrument or statute
defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred
to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time
amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or
instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of
comparable successor statutes, including all attachments thereto and instruments
incorporated therein.  References to a Person are also to its permitted
successors and assigns.  References to a date or time shall be deemed to be such
date or time in New York City, unless otherwise specified.  References to dollar
amounts are to U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified.  Each of the parties
has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement.  If an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be
construed as if it is drafted by all the parties and no presumption or burden of
proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of
any of the provisions of this Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly provided
elsewhere in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, or any Ancillary Agreement,
any provision herein which contemplates the agreement, approval or consent of,
or exercise of any right of, a Party, such Party may give or withhold such
agreement, approval or consent, or exercise such right, in its sole and absolute
discretion, the Parties hereto hereby expressly disclaim any implied duty of
good faith and fair dealing or similar concept.

 

Section 5.11                             Severability.  If any provision of this
Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or the application of any provision to any
Person or circumstance, shall be declared judicially to be invalid,
unenforceable or void, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating
or voiding the remainder of this Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, it being
the intent and agreement of the parties hereto that this Agreement and any
Ancillary Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the
extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable while preserving its
intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefor
another provision that is legal and enforceable and that achieves the same
objective.

 

Section 5.12                             Counterparts.  This Agreement may be
executed in multiple counterparts (any one of which need not contain the
signatures of more than one Party), each of which will be deemed to be an
original but all of which taken together will constitute one and the same
agreement.  This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, to the extent signed and
delivered by means of a facsimile machine or other electronic transmission, will
be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and will be
considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original
signed version thereof delivered in person.  At the request of a Party, the
other Party will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to the
requesting Party.  No Party will raise the use of a facsimile machine or other
electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature was
transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile

machine or other electronic means as a defense to the formation of a Contract
and each such Party forever waives any such defense.

 

Section 5.13                             Survival of Covenants.  Except as
expressly set forth in any Ancillary Agreement, the covenants, representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement, and
liability for the breach of any obligations contained herein, will survive each
of the Red Lion Restructuring and the Recapitalization and will remain in full
force and effect.

 

Section 5.14                             Jurisdiction; Consent to Jurisdiction.

 

(a)                                 Exclusive Jurisdiction.  Each of the Parties
irrevocably agrees that any claim, dispute or controversy (of any and every kind
or type, whether based on contract, tort, statute, regulation or otherwise, and
whether based on state, federal, foreign or any other law), arising out of,
relating to or in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the
documents referred to in this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated
thereby, and including disputes relating to the existence, validity, breach or
termination of this Agreement (any such claim being a “Covered Claim”) may be
brought and determined in any of the courts of the State of New York located in
the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America
sitting in the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any

Covered Claims for itself and in respect to its property, generally and
unconditionally, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and
agrees that it may be served with such legal process at the address and in the
manner set forth in Section 5.4.  Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim
or otherwise, in any action or proceeding in respect of Covered Claims (i) any
claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named
courts for any reason other than the failure to lawfully serve process,
(ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such
court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through
service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution
of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws, that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in any
such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit,
action or proceeding is improper and (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter
hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

 

(b)                                 Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE
EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH
PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY
AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ANCILLARY
AGREEMENTS.  EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE,
AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE,
THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE
THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY

 

40

UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY
MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER
INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.14(b).

 

Section 5.15                             Specific Performance.  In the event of
any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions
and provisions of this Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement, the Party who
is, or is to be, thereby aggrieved will have the right to specific performance
and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its rights under this
Agreement or such Ancillary Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights
and remedies at law or in equity, subject to Section 3.7.  The Parties agree
that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary
damages, are inadequate compensation for any loss and that any defense in any
action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is
waived.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such
remedy are waived by each of the Parties to this Agreement.

 

Section 5.16                             Limitations of Liability. 
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Red Lion or
its Affiliates, on the one hand, nor Navy or its Affiliates, on the other hand,
will be liable under this Agreement to the other for any special, indirect,
punitive, exemplary, remote, speculative or similar damages in excess of
compensatory damages of the other arising in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby (other than any such liability with respect to a Third-Party
Claim).
