In no event shall the Company be obligated to consent to any modification or amendment that the Blocker Seller reasonably concludes could have an adverse Tax effect (including withholding) on any Trilogy Party prior to the Closing or on the Blocker Seller or owners of the Blocker Seller.
1.02    Basic Transactions.
(a)    Exercise of Warrant; Purchasers of Warrant Units.
(i)    Subject to Section 1.02(a)(ii) and (iii) below, immediately prior to the Closing, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Warrants held by each Unit Seller who holds a Warrant (each, a “Warrantholder”), each such Warrant shall automatically, without any further action of the Company or the applicable Warrantholder, be deemed to have been exercised for all of the Common Units for which such Warrant is exercisable (except to the extent any Equity Interests thereunder are to be retained as Rollover Interests) as of immediately prior to the Closing via a cashless exercise (all Common Units issued to the Warrantholders pursuant to this Section1.02(a)(i), the “Warrant Units”).  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing and the time specified in Section 1.02(b)(iv), the Purchaser agrees to purchase from each Warrantholder, and each Warrantholder agrees to sell to the Purchaser, all of the Warrant Units owned by such Warrantholder for the portion of the Warrant Consideration payable to such Warrantholder in accordance with Section 1.03(b).  Immediately upon the exercise of the Warrants or the cancellation and payment in accordance with Section 1.02(a)(ii), each Warrantholder acknowledges and agrees that the Warrant held by such Warrantholder shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect.
(ii)    Notwithstanding Section 1.02(a)(i) above, if requested by the Purchaser or a Warrantholder prior to the Closing, the Company and such Warrantholder

4






shall enter into a Warrant Termination Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A pursuant to which the Warrant held by such Warrantholder will be cancelled, effective as of the Closing, in exchange for a payment equal to the portion of the Warrant Consideration to which such Warrantholder is entitled in accordance with Section 1.03(b).
(iii)    Notwithstanding Section 1.02(a)(i) above, if any of the Warrantholders listed on Schedule 1.02(a)(iii) enter into an amendment to their Warrant agreements with the Company wherein the portion of their compensatory Warrants listed opposite their name on Schedule 1.02(a)(iii) are not to be exercised in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such Warrants shall not be exercised or deemed exercised and shall not be purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and shall remain outstanding as Warrants of the Company otherwise on the same terms and conditions as are presently provided in those Warrants, except for such amendments as contemplated by the Rollover Agreement (or the Exhibits attached thereto) or as otherwise agreed by the Purchaser and the Rollover Holder Representative (as defined in the Rollover Agreement).
(b)    Closing Transactions.  At the Closing, upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the following actions shall, and by operation of this Section 1.02, occur in the following sequence, each step occurring immediately following the preceding step, in each case, on and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (collectively, the “Closing Steps”):  
(i)    The Company shall cause TMH to distribute all of the Equity Interests of the EIK to the Company.  The Company shall then redeem from certain of the Rollover Holders that portion of each Rollover Holder’s Equity Interests in the Company on the terms set forth in Rollover Agreement with a value (based on the Total Equity Value and the methodology set forth on Schedule 1.03(b)(i)), equal to the amount set forth under the heading “EIK Rollover Unit Value” opposite the name of such Rollover Holder on Schedule 1.03(b)(i) (such Rollover Holder’s “EIK Rollover Unit Value”), in exchange for a distribution by the Company to such Rollover Holder of a number of common units in the EIK constituting one hundred (100%) of the percentage membership interest in the EIK, (the “EIK Per Unit Price” and such EIK interests, collectively, the “EIK Rollover Interests” and, together with the Holdco Rollover Interests, the “Rollover Interests”), which shall be allocated among such Rollover Holders pro rata based on their relative EIK Rollover Unit Values.  
(ii)    Purchase of Blocker Equity Interests.

(iii)    Finance Merger.  
(1)    Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall form a Delaware limited liability company (“Finance Merger Sub”) of which the Purchaser shall be the sole member.  On the Closing Date, Finance Merger Sub shall borrow under the Debt Financing and receive the proceeds thereof (the “Borrowing”). 
(2)    Immediately following the Borrowing, the Purchaser and the Company shall cause Finance Merger Sub to merge with and into PropCo Finance, with PropCo Finance being the surviving entity of such merger (the “Finance Merger”).
(3)    Distributions of the Borrowing.  Subject to clause (4) below, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Representative a statement (the “Financing Distributions Statement”) setting forth the sequence and amounts of (A) the distributions of the proceeds of the Debt Financing to be made by and among PropCo Finance, PropCo Parent, the Company, Trilogy Holdings, the Blocker Entity, the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients and (B) the redemptions by the Company from certain Sellers of certain Common Units and/or Management Units of the Company held by such Sellers, as set forth in the Financing Distributions Statement in accordance with the Total Equity Value Certificate, in each case following the Finance Merger and in accordance with the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.02 and Section 1.03.  
(4)    Immediately following the Finance Merger, the parties shall distribute (or cause to be distributed) the proceeds of the Debt Financing (less any amounts used to repay Funded Indebtedness) and the Company shall redeem the relevant Equity Interests of the Company as set forth in the Financing Distributions Statement.  The Blocker Entity shall redeem from the Blocker Seller an amount of the Blocker Equity Interests equivalent to the aggregate proceeds received by the Blocker Entity pursuant to the Financing Distribution Statement, subject to the limitations at clause (5) below.
(5)    Limitations.  In no event will the proceeds of the Debt Financing that are to be distributed for use in redemptions of Equity Interests held by Blocker Seller exceed $50,000,000.  Prior to the consummation of the transactions described in Sections 1.02(b)(ii) and 1.02(b)(iii)(3) above and 1.02(b)(iv) and 1.02(b)(v) below, the Purchaser will not replace existing mortgages on real property owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries unless such replacement debt would be treated as replacement debt that would continue to offset the value of the real property pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.897-1(o)(2)(iii).
(iv)    Unit Purchase.  Trilogy Holdings shall purchase from each Unit Seller, and each Unit Seller shall sell to Trilogy Holdings, (A) that number of Common Units (including any Warrant Units, but excluding any Common Units or Warrant Units to be retained as Rollover Interests or that are subject to redemption in accordance with Section 1.02(b)(i) or Section 1.02(b)(iii)(4)) of the Company set forth in the Joinder executed by such Unit Seller for the portion of the Common Unit Consideration payable to such Unit Seller in connection with such purchase in accordance with Section 1.03(b) and (B) that number of Management Units (other than Management Units, if any, to be retained as Rollover Interests or

6






that are subject to redemption in accordance with Section 1.02(b)(i) or Section 1.02(b)(iii)(4)) of the Company set forth in the Joinder executed by such Unit Seller (and/or the Total Equity Value Allocation Certificate) for the portion of the Management Unit Consideration payable to such Unit Seller in connection with such purchase in accordance with Section 1.03(b). 
(v)    Merger.  The Company shall, and shall cause TMH to, consummate the Merger in accordance with the Merger Agreement and to file the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DLLCA.
(vi)    Adjustment of Rollover Amount.  Schedule 1.02(b)(vi) sets forth the aggregate amount of the Holdco Rollover Unit Value (together with the EIK Rollover Unit Value, the “Rollover Unit Value”) and the individuals anticipated to constitute Rollover Holders and retain their equity interests of the Company pursuant to the Rollover Agreement, together with the Holdco Rollover Unit Value of each such individual.  To the extent that any of the individuals fail to execute and deliver Rollover Agreements prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date (the “Non-Electing Holders”), then (i) such Non-Electing Holders shall not retain any of their equity interests of the Company, and only receive cash consideration at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.02(b)(iv) (in the case of a Unit Seller) or Section 1.02(b)(v) (in the case of a Merger Cash Recipient), (ii) the Holdco Rollover Unit Value and the Holdco Rollover Interests of the individuals designated as “Backstop Rollover Holders” on Schedule 1.02(b)(vi) (the “Backstop Rollover Holders”) shall be increased, pro rata based on their relative Holdco Rollover Unit Value, by an amount equal to the aggregate Holdco Rollover Unit Value of the Non-Electing Holders (the “Backstop Rollover Amount”), (iii) the cash consideration paid to the Backstop Rollover Holders pursuant to Section 1.02(b)(iv) shall be decreased, pro rata based on their relative Holdco Rollover Unit Value, by an amount equal to the Backstop Rollover Amount and (iv) the parties shall update Schedule 1.02(b)(vi) and Schedule 1.03(b) to reflect the final allocation of the Holdco Rollover Unit Value pursuant to this Section 1.02(b)(vi).
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties agree that the financing transactions and redemptions contemplated by this Section 1.02(b) shall neither create nor increase any indemnification obligations of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement, including with respect to any increase in Taxes of the Trilogy Parties.  
At the reasonable request of the Purchaser, the Purchaser and the Company shall work together in good faith to amend the Closing Steps and, upon the mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Company to modify the Closing Steps and to amend this Agreement; provided, that the Company’s consent to any such amendment shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such modification and amendment would not reasonably be expected to (i) materially impair or delay the occurrence of the Closing, (ii) cause any Seller (or, prior to the Closing, any of the Trilogy Parties) to incur any additional unreimbursed liabilities or (iii) otherwise have an actual or potential adverse economic effect on the Sellers.  In no event shall the Company be obligated to consent to any modification or amendment that the Blocker Seller reasonably concludes could have an adverse Tax effect (including withholding) on any Trilogy Party prior to the Closing or on the Blocker Seller or owners of the Blocker Seller.

1.03    Total Equity Value; Allocation of Total Equity Value.
(a)    The “Total Equity Value” for the Company is an amount equal to (i) the Base Purchase Price, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of the Closing Cash and Closing Restricted Funds, plus (iii) the amount by which Net Working Capital is greater than Target Net Working Capital, plus (iv) the aggregate amount of the Madison Investment, plus (v) the CapEx Adjustment if the CapEx Adjustment is a positive number, plus (vi) the lesser of (x) fifty percent (50%) of the costs and expenses incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time to effect the Pre-Closing Reorganization and (y) $250,000 (the “Pre-Closing Reorganization Adjustment”), minus (vii) the amount by which Net Working Capital is less than Target Net Working Capital, minus (viii) the absolute value of the CapEx Adjustment if the CapEx Adjustment is a negative number, minus (ix) the Escrow Amount, minus (x) the aggregate amount of Indebtedness outstanding as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Indebtedness”), minus (xi) fifty percent (50%) of the Loan Termination and Assumption Costs, minus (xii) the Representative Expenses, minus (xiii) the Transaction Expenses that remain unpaid as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”), minus (xiv) the aggregate amount of Capitalized Lease Obligations outstanding as of the opening of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Capitalized Lease Obligations”), minus (xv) the aggregate Rollover Unit Value minus (xvi) $3,500,000 less any portion of the fee set forth on Schedule 1.03(a)(i) paid by the Company prior to the Effective Time, which amount represents the price concessions for certain consent fees and other accommodations to be paid to landlords.  By way of example, if the Closing were to occur as of July 31, 2015, the amount of the Total Equity Value would be $545,200,000 as provided in Schedule 1.03(a)(ii), which is based on the amounts and assumptions provided by the Company with respect to the foregoing components of Total Equity Value.
(b)    It is understood and agreed by the Sellers, and the letter of transmittal with respect to the Merger (the “Letter of Transmittal”) shall provide that it is understood and agreed by the Merger Cash Recipients, that they will (i) allocate the Total Equity Value among and into the Blocker Equity Consideration, the Common Unit Consideration, the Management Unit Consideration, the Warrant Consideration and the Merger Cash Consideration pursuant to the methodology set forth on Schedule 1.03(b)(i), with (x) the aggregate sum of the Blocker Equity Consideration, the Common Unit Consideration, the Management Unit Consideration, the Warrant Consideration and the Merger Cash Consideration being equal to the Total Equity Value and (y) any adjustments (if any) to Closing Cash, Closing Restricted Funds, Net Working Capital, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses or Closing Capitalized Lease Obligations solely attributable to the Blocker/HoldCo Parties being allocated solely to the Blocker Seller; and (ii) further allocate (A) the Common Unit Consideration, the Management Unit Consideration and the Warrant Consideration payable to each Unit Seller; and (B) the Merger Cash Consideration payable to each Merger Cash Recipient, in each case of this clause (ii) in accordance with Schedule 1.03(b)(ii).
(c)    In connection with the delivery of the Estimated Total Equity Value Statement pursuant to Section 1.06(a), the Company shall provide the Purchaser with a certificate (the “Total Equity Value Allocation Certificate”) prepared after reasonable consultation with the Purchaser and prepared so as to give effect to the allocation of the Total Equity Value contemplated by Section 1.02 and clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 1.03(b), based 

8






upon the Estimated Total Equity Value calculated by the Company pursuant to Section 1.06(a), which Total Equity Value Allocation Certificate shall be subject to the review and approval of the Representative prior to such delivery, setting forth the aggregate portion of the Estimated Total Equity Value to which each Seller and Merger Cash Recipient is entitled for all Purchased Securities or other Equity Interests of the Company held by such Seller or Merger Cash Recipient.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely on Schedule 1.03(b) and the Total Equity Value Allocation Certificate as setting forth an accurate allocation of the consideration payable under this Agreement and the Other Agreements to all Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients pursuant to the Organizational Documents of the Trilogy Parties and the agreements governing the Warrants, and shall have no Liability for any errors or omissions therein, and (y) each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably waives and releases, and the Letter of Transmittal shall expressly provide that such Merger Cash Recipient irrevocably waives and releases, the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Trilogy Parties and their Subsidiaries) from all claims or Liabilities arising from or related to the Total Equity Value Allocation Certificate and the allocation of the Total Equity Value pursuant to Schedule 1.03(b) and the Total Equity Value Allocation Certificate.
1.04    The Closing.  The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP located at 1285 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10019 at 10:00 a.m. on the first (1st) Business Day of the month following the month in which all of the closing conditions set forth in Article II hereof (other than those closing conditions which by their terms or their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or due waiver of such closing conditions at the Closing) are first satisfied or waived, so long as the closing conditions set forth in Article II hereof (other than those closing conditions which by their terms or their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or due waiver of such closing conditions at the Closing) continue to be satisfied or waived as of such first Business Day; provided, that in no event shall the Closing occur prior to November 30, 2015, or on such other date as is mutually agreeable to the Purchaser and the Representative.  The date and time of the Closing are referred to herein as the “Closing Date,” and the Closing shall be deemed to have occurred as of 11:59 p.m. as of the last day of the month preceding the month in which the Closing occurs (the “Effective Time”).  Notwithstanding that the Closing Transactions will actually occur on the Closing Date, the Closing shall be effective as of the Effective Time.
1.05    The Closing Transactions.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties hereto shall consummate the following transactions (the “Closing Transactions”) on the Closing Date:
(a)    each Seller shall (i) deliver to the Purchaser all of the certificates (if any) evidencing the Purchased Securities owned by such Seller duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly executed security transfer powers or other form of assignment and transfer, in blank or to the relevant redeeming entity or the Purchaser, all as reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser and (ii) in the case of any Seller who is a Warrantholder, surrender the Warrant held by such Seller for cancellation; provided, that in lieu of delivering certificates (if any) evidencing the Purchased Securities and/or such Warrant, such Seller may deliver a lost certificate or lost warrant affidavit representing such certificate or warrant which has been lost, stolen or destroyed

1.06    Estimated Total Equity Value Statement; Post-Closing Adjustment Calculation.
(a)    At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Estimated Total Equity Value Statement”) setting forth a good faith estimate of, together with reasonable supporting details therefor, (i) (A) the Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) and (B) the aggregate amount of the Closing Cash (the “Estimated Cash”) and the Closing Restricted Funds (the “Estimated Restricted Funds”), which in the case of the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Estimated Cash and the Estimated Restricted Funds shall be calculated in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the respective definitions thereof, (ii) the amount of the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses, Closing Capitalized Lease Obligations, CapEx Adjustment, Loan Termination and Assumption Costs, Madison Investment and Pre-Closing Reorganization Adjustment and (iii) a calculation of the Total Equity Value based upon the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) (the “Estimated Total Equity Value”).
(b)    As promptly as reasonably possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Representative, together with reasonable supporting details therefor, a statement showing the calculation of the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Restricted Funds, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses, Closing Capitalized Lease Obligations, CapEx Adjustment, Loan Termination and Assumption Costs, Madison Investment and Pre-Closing Reorganization Adjustment (the “Preliminary Statement”).  The parties agree that the purpose of preparing and determining the Total Equity Value and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 1.06 is to measure changes in Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Restricted Funds, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses, Closing Capitalized Lease Obligations, CapEx Adjustment, Loan Termination and Assumption Costs, Madison Investment and Pre-Closing Reorganization Adjustment, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies different than the Accounting Principles, as applicable, and/or the respective definitions thereof.
After delivery of the Preliminary Statement, the Purchaser shall give the Representative and its accountants and representatives reasonable access to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents) (either by granting access to office space where such books and records are located or by providing copies thereof), in each case to the extent such books and records and other materials contain information as of the Closing Date or otherwise relevant to the preparation of the Preliminary Statement, for purpose of review of the Preliminary Statement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall make reasonably available, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who are knowledgeable with respect to the matters to be set forth in, or were otherwise involved in the preparation of, the Preliminary Statement to assist in the review of the Preliminary Statement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Representative and its accountants and representatives may make inquiries of the Purchaser, the Company and their respective accountants and representatives regarding questions concerning, or disagreements with, the Preliminary Statement arising in the course of its review thereof, and the Purchaser shall, and 

11






shall cause the Company to, cause any such accountants and representatives to reasonably cooperate with and respond to such inquiries.
(c)    If the Representative has any objections to the Preliminary Statement, the Representative shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement setting forth its objections thereto in reasonable detail (an “Objections Statement”).  If an Objections Statement is not delivered to the Purchaser within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Preliminary Statement (the “Review Period”), the Preliminary Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto.  The Representative and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within fifteen (15) Business Days after the delivery of the Objections Statement (or such other longer period as is mutually agreed upon by the Representative and the Purchaser), the Representative and the Purchaser shall submit such dispute to a mutually acceptable independent firm capable of serving as an accounting expert with relevant experience in resolving such disputes (the “Dispute Resolution Auditor”).  Any amounts not in dispute shall be paid immediately, and shall not be subject to the final resolution of the disputed items.  Any further submissions to the Dispute Resolution Auditor must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute.  The Dispute Resolution Auditor shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Objections Statement as being items which the Representative and the Purchaser are unable to resolve (“Disputed Items”).  The Dispute Resolution Auditor’s determination will be based solely on the definitions contained herein, and the value assigned to any Disputed Item may not be outside of the range of values set by the Preliminary Statement and the Objections Statement.  The Representative and the Purchaser shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Dispute Resolution Auditor to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days after the submission of any dispute.  Further, the Dispute Resolution Auditor’s determination shall be based solely on the presentations by the Purchaser and the Representative which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review).  The resolution of the dispute by the Dispute Resolution Auditor shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto.
(d)    The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Auditor shall be apportioned between the parties by the Dispute Resolution Auditor based on the degree to which each party’s claims submitted to the Dispute Resolution Auditor were unsuccessful and shall be paid by the Purchaser and/or the Sellers (from the Escrow Amount) in accordance with such apportionment.  For example, if pursuant to this Section 1.06(d) the Representative submitted to the Dispute Resolution Auditor an unresolved objection relating to the Preliminary Statement for an adjustment in the Sellers’ and Merger Cash Recipients’ favor of $100,000 and was then awarded $55,000 of such amount, then (i) the Purchaser would bear fifty-five percent (55%) of the fees and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Auditor and (ii) the Sellers (from the Escrow Amount) would bear forty-five percent (45%) of the fees and expense of the Dispute Resolution Auditor.
(e)    If the Total Equity Value, as calculated based upon the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Restricted Funds, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses, Closing Capitalized Lease Obligations, CapEx Adjustment, Loan Termination and Assumption Costs, Madison Investment and Pre-Closing Reorganization Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.06(c) above, is greater than the Estimated

12






Total Equity Value, the Purchaser shall promptly pay, or shall cause to be paid, to Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients their respective portions of such excess (less any amounts previously paid pursuant to Section 1.07) as determined in accordance with Schedules 1.03(b)(i) and (ii).  If the Total Equity Value as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.06(c) above is less than the Estimated Total Equity Value, the Representative and the Purchaser shall promptly cause the amount of such shortfall (less any amounts previously paid pursuant to Section 1.07) to be paid to the Purchaser from the Escrow Account.  Payments due from the Sellers to the Purchaser or from the Purchaser to the Sellers, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.06 shall be made in accordance with Section 1.07.
(f)    The Purchaser agrees that following the Closing it will not take any actions with respect to the accounting books, records, policies and procedures of the Company and its Subsidiaries that would obstruct or prevent the preparation or review of the Preliminary Statement as provided in this Section 1.06.  The parties further agree that, from and after the Closing, the provisions of this Section 1.06 and the dispute resolution provisions contemplated by this Section 1.06 shall be the exclusive remedy and exclusive forum of the parties with respect to the matters that are or that may be addressed through the purchase price adjustment procedures contemplated hereby (it being understood that the foregoing shall not waive or limit any rights of indemnification pursuant to Article IX for any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this Agreement).
1.07    Post-Closing Adjustment Payment.  Any portion of the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Restricted Funds, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Transaction Expenses, Closing Capitalized Lease Obligations, CapEx Adjustment, Loan Termination and Assumption Costs, Madison Investment and Pre-Closing Reorganization Adjustment set forth on the Preliminary Statement that is not disputed by an Objection Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties, and if (x) the net adjustment to the Total Equity Value in respect of such undisputed items (the “Net Undisputed Amount”) would result in a payment to the Purchaser, on the one hand, or the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients, on the other (as applicable, the “Total Equity Value Adjustment Payee”) and (y) all items disputed in all Objection Statements (the aggregate amount of such disputed items, the “Disputed Amount”) would result in a payment to the party other than the Total Equity Value Adjustment Payee regardless of the resolution of such dispute that is less than the Net Undisputed Amount, then the parties shall pay to the Total Equity Value Adjustment Payee the excess of the Net Undisputed Amount over such Disputed Amount in accordance with Section 1.06(e) within five (5) Business Days following the conclusion of the Review Period.  The Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients any amounts finally determined pursuant to Section 1.06(e) to be due by the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Representative in writing not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the date of such payment.  The Representative and the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days) deliver joint instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay from the Escrow Account to an account or accounts designated by the Purchaser any amounts finally determined pursuant to Sections 1.06(d) and 1.06(e) to be due by the Sellers.  The Escrow Account shall be the Purchaser’s sole recourse with respect to, and the exclusive source of funds for, any payments required to be made by the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.06(d), 1.06(e) and this Section 1.07.

7.02    Notification.  From the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall disclose to the Company and the Representative in writing any material variances from the Purchaser’s representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement with respect to which the Purchaser acquires Knowledge, in each case, promptly upon discovery thereof.
7.03    Manager, Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.  For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Blocker Entity or Trilogy Holdings to, amend, repeal or modify any provision in the Organizational Documents of such Person relating to the exculpation or indemnification of any current or former officer, director or manager in a manner that is less favorable to such Persons as those contained in the Organizational Documents of such Person as in effect on the date hereof, it being the intent of the parties that the officers, directors and managers of such Persons (the “D&O Indemnitees”) shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification to the full extent of the law.  The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at its sole cost and expense, maintain its existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance, or, if not available, obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance policies that cover events occurring prior to the Closing, on terms and in amounts no less favorable to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors and managers than its existing officers’ and director’s liability insurance, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, with the cost of such tail policies to be borne fifty percent (50%) by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and fifty percent (50%) by the Sellers, on the other hand; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not be required to pay or incur premiums in respect of officers’ and directors’ liability insurance for any year to the extent such premiums exceed 200% of the premium paid by the Company for officer’s and director’s liability insurance coverage for the one-year coverage period most recently ended as of the date hereof (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall maintain as much insurance coverage as possible in such year without exceeding such 200% premium limitation for such year).  If the Purchaser, the Company, any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Purchaser, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiary or its successor or assign, as applicable, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03.  The provisions of this Section 7.03 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each current and former officer, director and manager of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and his, her or its heirs and representatives or successors, and are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have had by contract or otherwise.
7.04    Assumption of Jackson CBA.  At Closing, the EIK shall assume (or shall cause any Subsidiary of the EIK that will hire employees covered under the Jackson CBA to assume) the Jackson CBA and the obligations under the Jackson CBA of Trilogy Healthcare of Jackson, LLC.

59






the Jackson CBA for damages or other relief as contemplated under Section 2 of Article 33 of the Jackson CBA.
7.05    Facility Closings; Employee Layoffs.  From and after the Closing Date for a period of ninety (90) days, neither the Purchaser nor the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall layoff or terminate any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in such numbers as would trigger any notice requirements or liability under the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101, et seq. (“WARN”) or any applicable state or local plant closing, mass layoff or severance Law except in such manner as would comply with all such Laws.  From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall be solely responsible for complying and causing the Company and its Subsidiaries to comply with any notice or filing requirements under WARN and any applicable state or local plant closing, mass layoff or severance Law, provided that The Trilogy Parties shall provide an updated Schedule 3.16(c) to the Purchaser within ten (10) days prior to the Closing and updated again at the Closing.
7.06    Confidentiality.  The Purchaser acknowledges that all information provided to it or any of its Affiliates, agents and representatives by any Trilogy Party and its Affiliates, agents and representatives (including pursuant to Section 6.02) is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement between or on behalf of the Company and the Purchaser or one or more of their respective Affiliates or other beneficial owners, the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and which shall be terminated as of the Closing Date.
7.07    Financing.
(a)    The Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub: (i) shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Debt Financing and the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions (including flex provisions) described in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and the Equity Commitment Letters, respectively, to the extent necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, including seeking to enforce the terms of the Equity Commitment Letters; provided, however, that in no event shall the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub be required to initiate any Action to cause any Committed Lender to fund the Debt Financing; (ii) shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or consent to any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or any Definitive Debt Agreement, in each case, if such amendment, modification, consent or waiver (x) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing below an amount, together with any available cash of the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub, required to pay the Required Payment Amount, (y) imposes any new or additional conditions to the Debt Financing or otherwise adversely expands, amends or modifies any other provision of the Debt Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or such Definitive Debt Agreement (including, without limitation, the Debt Financing Conditions), in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing, or (z) adversely impacts the ability of the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub to enforce its rights prior to Closing against the Committed Lenders or any other party to the Debt Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or any Definitive Debt Agreement to timely consummate the Contemplated Transactions; provided, that the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub may amend the Debt Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof;

60






provided that the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing is not reduced as a result of such amendment unless, contemporaneously with such amendment, the Equity Commitment Letters are amended to increase the commitments thereunder in respect of the Equity Financing by an amount equal to such reduction in the committed Debt Financing; (iii) shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or consent to any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Equity Commitment Letters; (iv) shall not permit, or consent to, any assignment of rights or obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter other than as explicitly permitted pursuant to the proviso to clause (ii) above; and (v) shall not permit, or consent to, any assignment of rights or obligations under the Equity Commitment Letters; provided, that any Sponsor may allocate all or a portion of its obligations to fund the Commitment Amount (as defined in the applicable Equity Commitment Letter) to an Affiliate (as defined in the applicable Equity Commitment Letter) or to an entity sponsored, co-sponsored, managed by or advised by an Affiliate (as defined in the applicable Equity Commitment Letter) of such Sponsor, but without such allocation relieving or otherwise diminishing the obligation of such Sponsor to fund the Commitment Amount in full; and provided, further, that any such allocation shall not relieve such Sponsor of its obligations under the applicable Equity Commitment Letter to fund such Sponsor’s entire Commitment Amount (as defined in the applicable Equity Commitment Letter) except to the extent the entire Commitment Amount (prior to giving effect to such allocation and without giving effect to any amount funded under any other Equity Commitment Letter) is funded to the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of such Equity Commitment Letter.  The Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification, consent or waiver.  For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Financing” or “Debt Financing,” as applicable, shall include the financing contemplated by the Commitment Letters as permitted to be amended, modified or waived by this Section 7.07(a), and references to “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such documents to the extent amended, modified or waived as permitted by this Section 7.07(a). 
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 7.07 shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of the Purchaser be deemed or construed to require, the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to (i) seek the Equity Financing from any source other than those counterparty to, or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Commitment Letter, or (ii) pay any fees materially in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter or the related fee letter in respect thereof (after giving effect to any “flex” terms with respect thereto).  
(c)    Without limiting the generality of Section 7.07(a), the Purchaser shall: (i) maintain in effect each of the Commitment Letters and each Definitive Debt Agreement in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof until the Closing Date and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on the Closing Date; (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (collectively, the “Definitive Debt Agreements”) on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter or on other terms not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, with respect to the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub as to conditionality than the terms provided in the Debt Commitment Letter; and (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all of the Debt Financing Conditions and any other conditions within Purchaser’s control to the funding of the Financing in the Commitment Letters and the Definitive Debt Agreements on or prior to the Closing Date or, if deemed advisable by the Purchaser, seek

61






the waiver of conditions applicable to the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub in the Debt Commitment Letter (other than any condition where the failure to be so satisfied is a direct result of  Trilogy’s failure to furnish information required to be delivered by such Trilogy Party under Section 7.07(d)).  The Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub shall give the Sellers and the Trilogy Parties prompt notice of (A) any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Commitment Letters of which the Purchaser or Finance Merger Sub becomes aware and (B) the receipt by the Purchaser or Finance Merger Sub of any written notice or other written communication from any Debt Financing Source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letters of any provisions of the Commitment Letters.
(d)    If any portion of the Debt Financing necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions becomes unavailable, the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub shall (i) promptly notify the Representative thereof, and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain in replacement thereof, as soon as reasonably practicable, any such portion from alternative sources on terms and conditions not materially less favorable to the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub as those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and, unless otherwise consented to by the Sellers, on a basis that is not subject to any condition precedent materially less favorable to the Purchaser or Finance Merger Sub than the Debt Financing Conditions (“Alternative Financing”).  Once obtained, the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub shall provide the Representative with all agreements pursuant to which any such alternative source shall have committed to provide the Purchaser or Finance Merger Sub with any portion of the Debt Financing and promptly provide the Representative with such information it may reasonably request regarding any alternative financing arrangements or plans.  Upon the entry by the Purchaser or Finance Merger Sub into any commitment letter for an Alternative Financing required pursuant to this clause (c), the term “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include the commitment letter in respect of such Alternative Financing and the term “Fee Letter” shall include any fee letter entered into in respect of such Alternative Financing  and the appropriate changes shall be deemed to be made to the terms “Debt Financing Sources,” “Committed Lenders” and “Debt Financing.”
(e)    Prior to the Closing, each of the Trilogy Parties shall provide, and the Company shall cause its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to provide, and shall respectively use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective representatives, including legal and accounting, to provide, all cooperation reasonably requested by the Purchaser that is customary in connection with the arrangement of syndicated loans similar to the Debt Financing or other acquisition loan financings (provided that such requested cooperation is made on reasonable notice and does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Business, the Company or its Subsidiaries and Affiliates), including cooperation that consists of:

(iii)    assisting in preparation for and participating and causing senior management of the Company and its Subsidiaries to participate in a reasonable number of meetings, drafting sessions and due diligence sessions (including accounting diligence sessions) (including one or more lender meetings and calls with the parties acting as lead arrangers, bookrunners or agents for, and prospective lenders, for the Debt Financing;

(vi)    providing customary authorization letters to the Debt Financing Sources as reasonably requested by the Purchaser in writing, authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings; 
(vii)    to the extent reasonably requested by the Debt Financing Sources for the purposes of obtaining customary waivers, consents, estoppels and approvals in connection with the Debt Financing from other parties to material licenses, leases, encumbrances and Contracts relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries, using their respective reasonable best efforts to arrange discussions among the Purchaser, the Debt Financing Sources and their respective representatives with such other parties to such material licenses, leases, encumbrances and Contracts as of the Closing;

(ix)    providing to the Purchaser for further distribution to the Debt Financing Sources all documentation and other information reasonably required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations in connection with the Debt Financing.   
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.07(e): (A) no Seller, Trilogy Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective representatives shall be required to pay any commitment or other fee or incur any other liability or expense in connection with the Debt Financing (in the case of the Trilogy Parties, prior to the Closing); (B) no Seller, Trilogy Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be required to take any action or do anything that would (i) contravene or result in a violation of any (x) applicable Law, or (y) any Contract to which, in the case of this clause (y), it is a party as of the date hereof, (ii) result in any violation of any confidentiality agreement or obligation of such Person, or (iii) result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege; (C) no Seller, Trilogy Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be required to enter into any Contract, certificate, document, instrument or other binding obligation, or otherwise make any representation or warranty, in connection with the Financing or the marketing thereof, other than, solely with respect to the Trilogy Parties and their Subsidiaries, any such Contract, certificate, document or instrument that becomes effective only upon the consummation of the Closing; 

64






(D) no Seller, Trilogy Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be required to take any corporate action (such as board resolutions or other similar consents of any governing body) in order to approve the Financing, any Definitive Debt Agreement or any other matter or agreement in connection with the Financing, other than, solely with respect to the Trilogy Parties and their Subsidiaries, any such corporate action that becomes effective only upon the consummation of the Closing (which corporate action shall be approved or executed by the post-Closing members of the applicable governing body of such Trilogy Party or such Subsidiary); and (E) none of the Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligation or liability under this Section 7.07 following the Closing.
(f)    The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each Seller, Trilogy Party or any of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives shall not, prior to the Closing Date, have any responsibility for, or incur any liability to any Person under the Financing or any other financing that the Purchaser may raise in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or any cooperation provided pursuant to this Section 7.07.  The Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller, Trilogy Party and each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and other representatives (including legal and other advisors) (collectively, the “Financing Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all Losses suffered or incurred by any Financing Indemnified Person in connection with (A) any acts performed by, or cooperation or assistance provided by, any Financing Indemnified Person in connection with the Debt Financing (including any such acts, cooperation or assistance under this Section 7.07), or (B) the provision or use of any information in connection with the Debt Financing (including in connection with the arrangement and marketing thereof) (other than any information provided by the Financing Indemnified Persons expressly for use in connection herewith); provided, that no indemnification will be provided pursuant to this clause (B) to the extent that the information at issue constitutes a breach of the representation and warranty at Section 3.05.

For the avoidance of doubt, obtaining the Financing or any Alternative Financing by the Purchaser is not a condition to the Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing.

65






shall be attributable to the benefit of Sellers.  Accordingly from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect all amounts due under the HHD Note and shall promptly remit (but in no event later than three (3) Business Days) to the Representative the HHD Note Proceeds actually received.
ARTICLE VIII
TAX MATTERS
8.01    Tax Reporting.  The parties shall report the transactions described in Section 1.01, Section 1.02(b) and Section 1.08 as occurring in the order set forth therein for all Tax purposes.  The parties intend that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the transaction described in Section 1.02(b)(i) shall be treated as a partnership division, within the meaning of Section 708 of the Code, with the Company being treating as the continuing partnership, (ii) the sale of the Blocker Equity Interests by Blocker Seller to the Purchaser and any redemption of Blocker Entity Interests pursuant to Section 1.02(b)(ii) and Section 1.02(b)(iii) at the Closing shall be treated as a sale of the stock of the Blocker Entity followed to the extent the Blocker Entity and Trilogy Holdings each become a “qualified REIT subsidiary” (as defined in Section 856(i)(2) of the Code) of the Purchaser upon the Closing, by the immediate liquidation of the Blocker Entity and Trilogy Holdings pursuant to Section 332 of the Code, and (iii) the Unit Purchase shall be treated as a purchase by the Purchaser (or its assignee) of a partnership interest in the Company, which shall have in effect an election described in Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year of the Company that includes the Closing, and shall result in adjustments to basis to the Purchaser (or its assignee) pursuant to Section 743 of the Code.  The Sellers and the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, take any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the foregoing intent.
8.02    Straddle Periods.  For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes of any Trilogy Party or any of their Subsidiaries that are payable with respect to any Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that constitutes Taxes attributable to a period (or portion thereof) before the Closing Date shall: (i) in the case of Taxes that are either (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (y) imposed in connection with any sale, transfer or assignment or any deemed sale, transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes (other than those described in clause (i) above) that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the business or assets of any Trilogy Party or any of their Subsidiaries or otherwise measured by the level of any item, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Tax period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.  For purposes of clause (i) of the preceding sentence, any exemption, deduction, credit or other item (including, without limitation, the effect of any graduated rates of Tax) that is calculated on an annual basis shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date on a pro rata basis determined by multiplying the total amount of such item allocated to the Straddle Period times a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of

66






calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.  In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 8.02 shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date.
8.03    Earnings and Profits Report and E&P Dividend.
(a)    At least sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser the formal report of a nationally recognized accounting firm (the “E&P Report”) regarding the calculation of the aggregate current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Blocker Entity and its Subsidiaries estimated through the Closing Date, which E&P Report shall be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser.  The Purchaser shall be permitted to provide the E&P Report to its representatives and in response to an inquiry by a Governmental Entity.
(b)    The Blocker Seller shall cause the Trilogy Parties to make distributions that are treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes in accordance with Section 1.01(c) (the “E&P Dividend”) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date to the extent necessary so that the remaining aggregate current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Blocker Entity and Trilogy Holdings accumulated through the Closing Date (determined as if the taxable year of the Company ended at the Closing on the Closing Date) attributable to “non-REIT years” (within the meaning of Section 857(a)(2) of the Code), do not exceed $0 based on the E&P Report.  The Blocker Seller shall, and shall cause each Trilogy Party and each of their Subsidiaries to, fully cooperate with the Purchaser’s requests for information (including making the relevant advisors available) in connection with the Purchaser’s determination of the aggregate current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Trilogy Parties and their Subsidiaries.
ARTICLE IX

The period from the Closing until the date upon which any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein terminates, if any, is referred to herein as the “Survival Period Termination Date” for such representation, warranty or covenant.  No Person shall be liable for any claim for indemnification under this Article IX unless written notice (specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim for indemnification and the factual and legal basis for any such claim for indemnification, and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made) is delivered by the Person seeking indemnification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought prior to the applicable Survival Period Termination Date, in which case the representation, warranty or covenant which is the subject of such claim shall survive, to the extent of such claim only, until such claim is resolved, whether or not the amount of the Losses resulting from such breach has been finally determined at the time the notice is given.

(a)    From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article IX), the Purchaser and its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients solely in the manner, set forth in this Section 9.02(a) and in Section 9.02(c), and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Article IX, against any Loss that any Purchaser Indemnified Party suffers, sustains or becomes subject to as a result of, as the case may be, (i) any breach of any of the covenants of the Trilogy Parties set forth in this Agreement (but in the case of any covenant of any Trilogy Party, only to the extent such covenant requires performance on or prior to the Closing) or any Company Fundamental Representation as of the date hereof or as of the Closing, (ii) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement (other than the Company Fundamental Representations) as of the date hereof or as of the Closing, (iii) any Tax Liability of any of the Blocker/HoldCo Parties, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to any period (or portion of any period, if applicable) ending on or prior to the Closing Date (determined in accordance with Section 8.02) and any Tax Liability of the Purchaser or its Affiliates arising as a result of the Purchaser’s reliance on any certificates provided by any Trilogy Party or any holder of Equity Interests to establish that withholding is not required on any payments hereunder or any payments under the Merger Agreement, (iv) the conversion, termination or other modification of any Warrant, the allocation of the Total Equity Value and any other amounts payable to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients pursuant to this

The Parties acknowledge and agree that if the representation and warranty or covenant pertains to either of the Blocker/Holdco Parties, it shall be deemed to have been made by the Blocker Seller for purpose of the indemnification obligations pursuant only to Section 9.02(b).
(b)    From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article IX), each Seller shall solely for himself, herself or itself severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) indemnify each Purchaser Indemnified Party and hold it harmless against any Loss that such Purchaser Indemnified Party suffers, sustains or becomes subject to as a result of, or that constitutes any breach of any of (i) the covenants of such Seller or the Seller Fundamental Representations of such Seller as of the date hereof or as of the Closing or (ii) the representations and warranties of such Seller (other than the Seller Fundamental Representations) as of the date hereof or as of the Closing; provided that (A) each Purchaser Indemnified Party shall only be entitled to assert, as its sole and exclusive remedy for any such breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of a Seller, claims against the Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 9.02(c) or the breaching Seller, such Purchaser Indemnified Party’s right to seek indemnification with respect to such breaches shall be limited solely to the Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 9.02(c) and the breaching Seller and none of the other Sellers shall have any personal liability to such Purchaser Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to any such breach by another Seller (except with respect to the Escrow Funds), and (B) no claims shall be asserted under Section 9.02(b)(ii) against a breaching Seller as a result of such Seller’s breach of its representations and warranties herein, unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses with respect to any breaches of representations and warranties that would otherwise be payable under Section 9.02(a)(ii) and under Section 9.02(b)(ii) exceeds in the aggregate and on a 

69






cumulative basis an amount equal to the Claims Deductible and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Claims Deductible; provided further that in no event shall any Seller be liable under Section 9.02(a) or this Section 9.02(b) for more than 100% of the proceeds actually received by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement.  Any indemnification of any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.02(b) shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Purchaser Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days after the final determination thereof.  Nothing in this Section 9.02(b) shall limit the recovery of any Purchaser Indemnified Party under the Escrow Funds pursuant to Section 9.02(c) for claims under Section 9.02(a).
(c)    Any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.02(a) shall be satisfied (i) first, from the Escrow Funds and (ii) second, directly against the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients, pro rata based on their Transaction Percentages.  Any indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.02(b) shall be satisfied, at the election of the Purchaser Indemnified Party, from the Escrow Funds or severally against the applicable Seller provided that if the Purchaser elects to satisfy the indemnification obligations from the Escrow Funds, the non-breaching Sellers shall be entitled to a payment from such breaching Seller of his, her or its pro rata share of any payments from the Escrow Funds.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may elect (but shall not be required) to offset indemnification obligations of any Seller that is a Rollover Holder pursuant to Sections 9.02(a) or 9.02(b) against any future distributions to which such Seller is entitled with respect to its Rollover Interests in accordance with the Organizational Documents of the Company.
(d)    No claim under this Article IX shall be brought or maintained by any Purchaser Indemnified Party or their respective Affiliates (including by the Blocker Entity or Trilogy Holdings) or their respective successors or permitted assigns against any officer, director, manager or employee (present or former) or Affiliate of any party hereto which is not otherwise expressly identified as a party hereto, and, except with respect to claims for fraud in the making of any representation or warranty in Article III or Article IV hereof, no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of any party hereto set forth or contained in this Agreement or schedule hereto or any certificate delivered hereunder.
(e)    From and after the Closing, this Article IX and Section 1.06 constitute each Purchaser Indemnified Party’s sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses or other claims (excluding any actions for specific performance or similar injunctive relief or claims arising from fraud in the making of any representation or warranty in Article III or Article IV hereof) relating to or arising from this Agreement or any schedule hereto or any certificate executed and delivered in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated by any of the foregoing.  Subject to Section 9.02(g), each Purchaser Indemnified Party may not avoid such limitation on liability by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability.  Except pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Article IX or Section 1.06 (or any actions for specific performance or similar injunctive relief or claims arising from fraud), no claim shall be brought or maintained by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries) or its or their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Blocker Entity and Trilogy Holdings),

70






successors or permitted assigns against any of the Sellers (in their capacities as such), and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Company or any other Person set forth or contained in this Agreement, or any of the certificates executed and delivered in connection herewith, the subject matter of this Agreement, or the accuracy or completeness of any information, document or material furnished or made available to the Purchaser in “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in anticipation of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the ownership, operation, management, use or control of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Purchaser Indemnified Party, its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries), and its and their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Blocker Entity and Trilogy Holdings), successors and permitted assigns hereby irrevocably waive all such claims of any type or description referenced in the preceding sentence.  EACH RELEASING PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF THE FOREGOING RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS.  EACH RELEASING PARTY UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FOREGOING RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS.  EACH RELEASING PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have no right to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Loss or alleged Loss to the extent such Loss or alleged Loss is (i) reflected on a specific line item in the calculation of the Net Working Capital, (ii) included in the Closing Indebtedness or (iii) reflected in a specific line item in the calculation set forth in the Preliminary Statement but is not included in the Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.06, either by agreement of the parties or by the Dispute Resolution Auditor.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions, limitations and waivers set forth in this Article IX shall not apply to any claim against a party based on that party’s fraud in the making of the representations and warranties in Articles III or IV.
(h)    All payments pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section 1.03 hereof.  No Seller shall have any claim of contribution, indemnity or otherwise against any Trilogy Party or its Subsidiaries with respect to any claims brought by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 9.02(a) or Section 9.02(b).
(i)    (i) Except for the Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, no Person (including the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates) shall have any obligation to fund the Escrow Account, (ii) if the Closing Date occurs on or prior to December 31, 2015, the Purchaser and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to release all Escrow Funds (less the amount of then Outstanding Escrow Claims) in excess of $20,000,000 to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients within thirty (30) days following the First Escrow Release Date by

71






delivering joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent, (iii) except for the amount to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have, prior to the applicable Survival Period Termination Date, previously made a claim pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article IX and for which the obligations to indemnify, if any, shall not have been satisfied from the Escrow Funds (the “Outstanding Escrow Claims”), title and all rights to the remaining Escrow Funds shall automatically transfer to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients on the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iv) the Purchaser and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to release the remaining Escrow Funds less the sum of (A) the amount of the Outstanding Escrow Claims (other than the Outstanding Specified Claims Amount) and (B) the lesser of (x) the Outstanding Specified Claims Amount and (y) $4,000,000 to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients and to release all dividends, interest, distributions and other income received in respect of the remaining Escrow Funds to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients, in each case, promptly following the fifteen (15) month anniversary of the Closing Date (including by delivering joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent).  Promptly following the final resolution of any Outstanding Escrow Claim (including any Specified Claims) pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Article IX, the Purchaser and the Representative shall cause the Escrow Agent to release any remaining Escrow Funds relating to such Outstanding Escrow Claim, and all dividends, interest, distributions and other income received in respect of such Escrow Funds pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients (including by delivering joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent).  
9.03    Indemnification for the Benefit of the Sellers .
(a)    The Purchaser shall indemnify each Seller and its Affiliates, and its and their respective officers, directors, managers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless against any Loss which any such Seller Indemnified Party suffers, sustains or becomes subject to as a result of (i) any breach of the covenants of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, the covenants in this Agreement that require or contemplate performance by the Company or its Subsidiaries from and after the Closing or the Purchaser Fundamental Representations or (ii) any breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement other than the Purchaser Fundamental Representations; provided, that no claims shall be asserted under Section 9.03(a)(ii), unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses with respect to any breaches of representations and warranties that would otherwise be payable under Section 9.03(a)(ii) exceeds in the aggregate and on a cumulative basis an amount equal to the Claims Deductible and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Claims Deductible; provided, further, that the Purchaser, in the aggregate, shall not be liable under this Section 9.03 for more than the Escrow Amount.  Any indemnification of any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Representative within fifteen (15) days after the final determination thereof.
(b)    From and after the Closing, this Article IX and Section 1.06 constitute each Seller Indemnified Party’s sole and exclusive remedy for any and all Losses or other claims (excluding any actions for specific performance or similar injunctive relief or claims arising from fraud) relating to or arising from this Agreement or any schedule hereto or any

72






certificate executed and delivered in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated by any of the foregoing.  Subject to Section 9.03(c), each Seller Indemnified Party may not avoid such limitation on liability by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability.  Except pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Article IX or Section 1.06 (or any actions for specific performance or similar injunctive relief or claims arising from fraud), no claim shall be brought or maintained by any Seller Indemnified Party, its Subsidiaries or its or their respective Affiliates, successors or permitted assigns against the Purchaser (in its capacity as such), and no recourse shall be brought or granted against any of them, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misrepresentation or inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of the Purchaser or any other Person set forth or contained in this Agreement or any of the certificates executed and delivered in connection herewith, the subject matter of this Agreement, or the accuracy or completeness of any information, document or material furnished or made available to the Sellers, management presentations or in any other form in anticipation of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the ownership, operation, management, use or control of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Seller Indemnified Party, its Subsidiaries, and its and their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns hereby irrevocably waive all such claims of any type or description referenced in the preceding sentence.  EACH RELEASING PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AFFORDED BY ANY STATUTE WHICH LIMITS THE EFFECT OF THE FOREGOING RELEASE WITH RESPECT TO UNKNOWN CLAIMS.  EACH RELEASING PARTY UNDERSTANDS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE FOREGOING RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS AND WAIVER OF STATUTORY PROTECTION AGAINST A RELEASE OF UNKNOWN CLAIMS.  EACH RELEASING PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS WAIVER IS AN ESSENTIAL AND MATERIAL TERM OF THIS AGREEMENT.  As an inducement to the Purchaser’s willingness to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, the Letter of Transmittal shall provide for a similar release by the Merger Cash Recipients.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions, limitations and waivers set forth in this Article IX shall not apply to any claim against a party based on that party’s fraud in the making of any of the representations and warranties in Article V.
9.04    Defense of Third Party Claims.  In order for a Person that has rights of indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnitee”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnitee (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee must notify the indemnifying party (or, if the Sellers are the indemnifying parties, the Representative) (the “Indemnitor”) in writing, and in reasonable detail, of the Third Party Claim as promptly as reasonably possible after receipt by such Indemnitee of notice of the Third Party Claim; provided, that failure to give such notification on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure; provided further, that written notice to the Representative shall be deemed written notice to the Indemnitor pursuant to this Section 9.04 if a Seller is the indemnifying party, and the Representative shall serve as administrative agent for the Indemnitor.  Thereafter, the Indemnitee shall deliver to the Indemnitor, promptly (but in any

73






event within five (5) Business Days) after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee relating to the Third Party Claim; provided that failure to promptly deliver such items on a timely basis shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure.  If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it elects, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnitor and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, in each case, at the Indemnitor’s own expense; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim if (i) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other non-monetary equitable relief against the Indemnitee, or, if the Indemnitee is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Blocker Entity, Trilogy Holdings, the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (ii) such Third Party Claim involves any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iii) the maximum liability under such Third Party Claim exceeds an amount equal to the amount of the maximum liability of the Sellers under this Article IX (including with respect to the Escrow Funds) by more than 110%, (iv) the Indemnitor has failed or is failing to defend in good faith the Third Party Claim, (v) the Indemnitor has not acknowledged in writing that such Third Party Claim is subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, (vi) with respect to such Action or proceeding, the Indemnitor is also a party and the Indemnitee concludes based on advice of its legal counsel that a material and unwaivable conflict exists as a result of the Indemnitor’s control over such proceedings or (vii) the Third Party Claim relates to Taxes (other than the portion of any such Third Party Claim relating to Section 1445 of the Code, any of the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, or any tax certificate to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement).  Should an Indemnitor be entitled to and elect to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, (a) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim unless (1) written agreement is obtained releasing the Indemnitee subject to the Third Party Claim from all liability thereunder, (2) it involves only the payment of money and, in the case of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the amount of such judgment or settlement does not exceed an amount equal to the then remaining balance of the Escrow Funds and (3) the judgment or settlement does not involve any finding or admission of a violation of any Law by the Indemnitee and (b) the Indemnitor shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof.  If the Indemnitor assumes such defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnitor, it being understood, however, that the Indemnitor shall control such defense.  If the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) is defending a Third Party Claim, the reasonable expenses of the Representative incurred in defending a Third Party Claim (or any participation in a Third Party Claim that could result in Losses to the Representative) shall be reimbursed, when and as incurred, from the Representative Expenses.  If the Indemnitor chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, all the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnitor’s request) the provision to the Indemnitor of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Whether or not the Indemnitor shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall not admit any liability with respect to, consent to the entry of any 

74






judgment, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
9.05    Determination of Loss Amount.  The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 shall be calculated net of (i) any Tax Benefit actually received by the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates on account of such Loss within one (1) year of such Loss and (ii) any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received by the Indemnitee from any third party with respect thereto (including under or pursuant to any insurance policy, title insurance policy, indemnity, reimbursement arrangement or contract pursuant to which or under which such Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates is a party or has rights) (the “Alternative Arrangements”), in each case net of the costs of collection and any increases in premiums or Taxes with respect to such proceeds.  If the Indemnitee receives a Tax Benefit within one (1) year after an indemnification payment is made to it, the Indemnitee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitor the amount of such Tax Benefit (up to the amount of the indemnification payments previously made in respect of such Loss) at such time or times as and to the extent that such Tax Benefit is actually realized by the Indemnitee.  For purposes hereof, “Tax Benefit” shall mean any refund of Taxes paid or reduction in the amount of Taxes which otherwise would have been paid, in either case realized in cash, net of any related Tax Losses.  The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek full recovery under all Alternative Arrangements covering any Loss to the same extent as they would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder.  In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnitee with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (up to the amount of the indemnification payments previously made in respect of such Loss) shall be made promptly to the Indemnitor.
9.06    Knowledge and Investigation.  The right to indemnification, payment of Losses or other remedies based on any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or in any Other Agreement will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge or information acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement (other than disclosures made in the Disclosure Schedules hereto).  The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Losses, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.
9.07    Acknowledgment of the Purchaser.  The representations and warranties by the Company and the Sellers set forth in this Agreement constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers to the Purchaser in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and the Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied are specifically disclaimed by the Company and the Sellers.  Except as specifically set forth in Article III and Article IV, neither the Company nor any Seller makes or provides, and the Purchaser hereby waives, any warranty or representation, express or implied, including as to the quality, merchantability, as for a particular purpose, conformity to samples, or condition of the

75






Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ assets or any part thereto.  In connection with the Purchaser’s investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Purchaser has received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and certain business plan information.  Further, without limiting or otherwise affecting the express representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser expressly disclaims reliance on and acknowledges that no representation or warranty is made with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of the confidential memorandum, data room and other evaluation material (including any estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans) provided to Purchaser.
9.08    Materiality.  For purposes of this Article IX, a breach of a representation or warranty shall be deemed to exist either if such representation or warranty is actually inaccurate or breached or would have been inaccurate or breached if such representation or warranty had not contained any limitation or qualification as to “materiality,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” or similar language and the amount of Losses in respect of any breach of representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any such limitation or qualification as to “materiality,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” or similar language set forth in such representation or warranty.

(a)    If (i) the Company and the Representative terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(c) or Section 10.01(g), (ii) the Company and Representative terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(f) at a time when the Company and the Representative would have been permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(g), or (iii) the Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(e) at a time when the Company and the Representative would have been permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(g), then the Purchaser shall pay to the Company a termination fee equal to $45,000,000 (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Representative within five (5) Business Days of the date of such termination.  In no event shall the Purchaser be required to pay or to cause to be paid the Purchaser Termination Fee on more than one occasion whether or not the Purchaser Termination Fee may be payable at different times or upon the occurrence of different events.
(b)    Each party hereto confirms that each event or circumstance giving rise to the obligation to pay the Purchaser Termination Fee would cause significant damage to the Sellers, the Company and their respective Affiliates that would be inherently difficult to quantify and prove, and that the Purchaser Termination Fee provided for hereunder is intended to provide fair compensation in response to that damage, is not intended to be punitive, and is reasonable in amount in relation to the circumstances under which it would become payable.  In the circumstances in which the Purchaser Termination Fee is payable in accordance with Section 10.03(a), the Company’s receipt of the Purchaser Termination Fee from the Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.03(a) shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and not a penalty.

(d)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but except with respect to (i) the applicable parties’ obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and (ii) without limiting the right of the Representative to seek specific performance prior to termination of this Agreement under, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Equity Commitment Letter and Section 13.14, each of the Sellers, the Company and the Trilogy Parties agrees that the maximum aggregate monetary liability of the Purchaser and any other member of the Purchaser Group to the Sellers, the Company and the Trilogy Parties or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of the Sellers, the Company or the Trilogy Parties for any Loss (whether in law or equity and whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder prior to termination, the failure of the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated in accordance with this Agreement, or otherwise based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Financing or the Commitment Letters (including any breach or alleged breach hereof or thereof), the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or in respect of any other theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral or written representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise shall be limited to an amount equal to the sum of the Purchaser Termination Fee paid pursuant to Section 10.03(c) plus any other amounts owing pursuant to Section 7.07(f) and in no event (except with respect to the applicable parties’ obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement and without limiting the right of the Representative to seek specific performance prior to termination of this Agreement under, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of, the Equity Commitment Letter and Section 13.14) shall the Sellers, the Company or the Trilogy Parties seek to recover any money damages in excess of an amount equal to the sum of the Purchaser Termination Fee paid pursuant to Section 10.03(c) and any other amounts owing pursuant to Section 7.07(f).

The Purchaser agrees that no communications (including email or other written communications) subject to attorney-client privilege among the Law Firm and the Company, any Seller, Seller Representative and/or any of their respective Affiliates that relate to the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement shall be subject to disclosure, directly 

81

11.07    Matters Regarding the Representative.
(a)    The parties have agreed that it is desirable to designate Blocker Seller (the “Representative”), to act on behalf of each of the Sellers for all purposes of this Agreement (including the full power and authority on such Seller’s behalf (u) to consummate the transactions contemplated herein; (v) to direct the payment of and disburse any funds received hereunder or to be paid to such Seller; (w) to execute and deliver on behalf of such Seller any amendment or waiver hereto; (x) to take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of such Seller in connection herewith; (y) to negotiate, settle, compromise and otherwise handle the Net Working Capital, Closing Cash, Closing Restricted Funds, Closing Indebtedness, Closing Capitalized Lease Obligations and Closing Transaction Expenses adjustments, and to cause all disbursements to be made to Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients in accordance with Sections 1.06, 1.07 and 11.08, and all claims for indemnification made by the Purchaser pursuant to Article IX; and (z) to do each and every act and exercise any and all rights which such Seller individually or all Sellers collectively are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement).  The Representative may resign at any time and the Representative may not be removed without its prior written consent.  The designation of the Representative is coupled with an interest, and, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, such designation is irrevocable and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, illness, bankruptcy, dissolution or other inability to act of any of the Sellers.  In the event that a Representative has resigned or been removed, a new Representative shall be appointed by the previous Representative, such appointment to become effective upon the written acceptance thereof by the new Representative.  Written notice of any such resignation, removal or appointment of a Representative shall be delivered by the Representative to the Purchaser promptly after such action is taken.
(b)    The Representative shall have such powers and authority as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the functions assigned to it under this Agreement and in any other document delivered in connection herewith (including the Escrow Agreement); provided, however, that the Representative will have no obligation to act on behalf of the Sellers in connection with any indemnification claim brought specifically against such Seller pursuant to Section 9.02.  The Purchaser and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on the actions taken

82






by the Representative without independent inquiry into the capacity of the Representative to so act and shall have no liability to the Sellers in connection therewith.  All actions, notices, communications and determinations by the Representative to carry out such functions shall conclusively be deemed to have been authorized by, and shall be binding upon, the Sellers.  Neither the Representative nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall have any liability to the Sellers with respect to actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Representative in such capacity (or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives in connection therewith), except with respect to the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Neither the Representative nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives shall have any liability to the Purchaser as a result of serving in such capacity or otherwise under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection herewith (including the Escrow Agreement), express obligations set forth in this Agreement or the Other Agreements, or with respect to the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Representative will at all times be entitled to rely on any directions received from the Sellers; provided, however, that the Representative shall not be required to follow any such direction, and shall be under no obligation to take any action in its capacity as Representative based upon any such direction.  The Representative shall be entitled to engage such counsel, experts and other agents and consultants as it shall deem necessary in connection with exercising its powers and performing its function hereunder and (in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Representative) shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the opinions and advice of such Persons.  The Representative (for itself and its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives) shall be entitled to full reimbursement for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances (including fees and disbursements of its counsel, experts and other agents and consultants) incurred by the Representative in such capacity (or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives in connection therewith), and to full indemnification against any loss, liability or expenses arising out of actions taken or omitted to be taken in its capacity as Representative (except for those arising out of the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), including the costs and expenses of investigation and defense of claims, in each case solely from the Sellers (including from funds to be distributed to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (including under the Escrow Agreement)).  In furtherance of the foregoing, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Representative shall have the power and authority to hold and retain the Representative Expenses to satisfy such obligations and to set aside and retain additional funds paid to or received by it, or direct payment of additional funds to be paid to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement at Closing or thereafter (including pursuant to the Escrow Agreement), to satisfy such obligations (including to establish such reserves as the Representative determines in good faith to be appropriate for such costs and expenses that are not then known or determinable).  To the extent that the amount included as Representative Expenses exceeds such expenses, disbursements or advances, as finally determined by the Representative, the Representative will pay such excess to the Blocker Seller, the Rollover Holders and the Merger Cash Recipients in the same proportion as the aggregate values paid to such parties under the Total Equity Value Allocation Certificate.  To the extent that such expenses, disbursements or advances exceed the Representative Expenses, the Representative will pay, obtain reimbursement of such amounts from, and/or be permitted to establish a reserve fund and for future expenses from, the amounts remaining in the Escrow Funds, after accounting for any Purchaser claims but before any disbursements are made to Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients.  To the extent that such expenses, disbursements or

83






advances exceed the Representative Expenses and the amounts obtained from the Escrow Funds, each Seller will reimburse such excess to the Representative in the same proportion as the aggregate values paid to such parties under the total Equity Value Allocation Certificate.  The relationship created herein is not to be construed as a joint venture or any form of partnership between or among the Representative or any Seller for any purpose of applicable Law.  Neither the Representative nor any of its Affiliates owes any fiduciary or other duty to any Seller.
(c)    Without limiting the Representative’s obligations as a Seller hereunder, the Purchaser acknowledges that the Representative, in such capacity, is a party to this Agreement for purposes of serving as the “Representative” hereunder and no claim for Losses or for any other matter shall be brought by or on behalf of the Purchaser, its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Company and its Subsidiaries), or any Purchaser Indemnified Party, or its or their respective Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Blocker Entity or Trilogy Holdings), successors or permitted assigns against the Representative, in its capacity as Representative, with respect to this Agreement or the agreements or transactions contemplated hereby (including the Escrow Agreement) or any certificate, opinion, instrument or other documents delivered hereunder (with it being understood that any covenant that requires performance by the “parties” or “each of the parties” shall not be deemed to require performance by the Representative unless performance by the Representative is expressly provided for in such covenant).
(d)    Each Seller hereby reaffirms, approves, accepts and adopts, and hereby agrees to comply with and perform, all of the acknowledgements and agreements made by the Representative on behalf of the Sellers in this Agreement and the other agreement contemplated hereby (including the Escrow Agreement).  As an inducement to the willingness of the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that the Letter of Transmittal shall require the Merger Cash Recipients to acknowledge and agree to the appointment of the Representative as representative of the Merger Cash Recipients on the same terms as the provisions set forth in this Section 11.07.
11.08    Post-Closing Distributions and Payments.  Distributions of Escrow Funds and payments of other amounts payable to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients pursuant to this Agreement after the Closing (the “Post-Closing Payments”) will be allocated among the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients in accordance with Schedule 1.03(b)(ii); provided, that any amounts allocable to a Seller will be reduced by the amount of any amounts paid or payable from the Escrow Funds as a result of any indemnification with respect to a breach by such Seller pursuant to Section 9.02(b), and such amount shall be reallocated to the other Sellers pro rata based on their relative allocations pursuant to Schedule 1.03(b)(ii).  Prior to any such distribution or payment, the Representative shall provide the Escrow Agent or the Purchaser, as applicable, with a certificate (the “Post-Closing Payment Allocation Certificate”) prepared so as to give effect to such allocation of such amounts setting forth the aggregate portion of such amounts to which each Seller or Merger Cash Recipient is entitled for all Purchased Securities or other Equity Interests held by such Seller or Merger Cash Recipient.  The Purchaser and the Escrow Agent may rely on the Post-Closing Payment Allocation Certificate, and no Seller shall have any claims against the Purchaser or the Escrow Agent as a result of any inaccuracies or misstatements therein.  Any such amounts distributable or payable to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients shall be paid to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients as allocated on such

84






Post-Closing Payment Allocation Certificate.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, any such amounts distributable or payable to the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients shall be subject to reduction as set forth in Section 11.07.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to rely on the Post-Closing Payment Allocation Certificate as setting forth a true, complete and accurate allocation of the Post-Closing Payments, and shall have no Liability for any errors or omissions therein, and (y) each of the Sellers hereby irrevocably waives and releases, and the Letter of Transmittal shall provide that such Merger Cash Recipient irrevocably waives and releases, the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Trilogy Parties and their Subsidiaries) from all claims or Liabilities arising from or related to the Post-Closing Payment Allocation Certificate and the allocation of the Post-Closing Payments hereunder.
11.09    Confidentiality.  Each Seller agrees and acknowledges that upon the Closing shall be the owner of all Confidential Information and each Seller agrees to retain, and to cause its representatives to retain, in strict confidence for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, all Confidential Information and not to use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than the Permitted Purposes; provided, however, a Seller may disclose the Confidential Information to its Affiliates, officers, directors, managers, employees, partners, members, managers, trustees, immediate family members (including his or her spouse, ex-spouse, children, step-children or their respective lineal descendants), agents, legal, financial, accounting or other advisors or representatives to the extent reasonably required in connection with (a) the performance of such Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the Other Agreements or any dispute in connection therewith, (b) in the case of the Rollover Holders, the ownership of the Rollover Interests following the Closing (if applicable), (c) such Seller’s financial or tax reporting or (d) in the case of a Seller who is employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to the extent reasonably necessary in the good faith performance of his or her employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any dispute related thereto (collectively, the “Permitted Purposes”), so long as such Persons are informed of the confidentiality provisions contained in this Agreement and the disclosing party will be responsible for disclosures by any such Persons in violation of this paragraph; provided, further, that in no event shall any Seller be permitted to disclose the Confidential Information to a competitor of the Company or its Subsidiaries.  In the event a Seller or its Affiliates or representatives become legally compelled to disclose any of the Confidential Information, to the extent permitted by Law, such Seller shall provide the Purchaser and the Company with prompt written notice so that the Purchaser or the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the provisions of this paragraph.  In any such case, such Seller shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information or such other matters which are required by Law and, at the request and expense of the Purchaser or the Company, shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information thereafter.  As an inducement to the Purchaser’s willingness to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby, the Letter of Transmittal shall provide that the Merger Cash Recipients shall be subject to the terms of this Section 11.09.  For purposes of this Section 11.09, “Confidential Information” means any information (oral or written) that is confidential, proprietary or not available to the public about any Trilogy Party or its Subsidiaries; provided, that “Confidential Information” shall not include information that (x) is or becomes available to the public through

The Trilogy Parties, the Sellers and the Purchaser agree that, from the date hereof through the Closing Date, no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued or made by or on behalf of any party without the prior consent of the Company, the Representative and the Purchaser, except that (i) the Company, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates may make announcements from time to time as such Persons may, after consultation with counsel, reasonably determine is necessary to comply with applicable Law or the Jackson CBA, and (ii) the Purchaser may make public releases as the Purchaser may, after consultation with counsel, reasonably determine is necessary to comply with applicable Law (including stock exchange rules); provided, that, with respect to any public release or announcement pursuant to clause (i) or (ii), the party making such public release or announcement shall allow the other parties reasonable time to comment on such public release or announcement in advance of such issuance and shall incorporate such comments as are reasonably provided by such other parties; provided, further, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Company and its Affiliates from communicating with (or otherwise responding to questions or inquiries from) their respective employees, customers, suppliers, investors, lenders and other business relations in the ordinary course of business.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser, the Company and the Representative shall cooperate to prepare a joint press release to be issued on the date hereof.

Nothing in this Section 13.01 shall limit the ability of a Seller or the Purchaser to disclose the terms of this Agreement to its respective equityholders, employees, accountants, advisors and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (including for administrative, reporting, fund raising and marketing purposes).

13.04    Assignment.  This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the Company, the Representative and the Purchaser, except that the Purchaser may assign its rights, interests and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, to any Affiliates of the Sponsor, or as collateral security to any lender to the Purchaser or its Affiliates, without such consent; provided that the Purchaser has provided prior notice to the Company and the Representative and, provided further, that the Purchaser remains liable for all such obligations to the same extent as if such assignment had not occurred.
13.05    Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.  Upon such determination that any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.
13.06    References.  The table of contents and the section and other headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement and the exhibits hereto are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties hereto, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any exhibit hereto.  Any reference to any agreement or Contract referenced herein or in the Disclosure Schedules shall be a reference to such agreement or Contract, as amended, modified, supplemented or waived in accordance with the terms thereof, except that with respect to any Contract listed on any Schedule hereto, all such amendments, supplements or modifications must also be listed on such Schedule.  All references

108






to days or months shall be deemed references to calendar days or months, as applicable, unless otherwise specifically provided.  All references to “$” shall be deemed references to United States dollars.  Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a “section,” “Exhibit,” “Disclosure Schedule” or “Schedule” shall be deemed to refer to a section of this Agreement, exhibit to this Agreement or a schedule to this Agreement, as applicable.  The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import referring to this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  A reference to any party in this Agreement or any Other Agreement shall include such party’s successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that nothing contained in this sentence is intended to authorize any assignment or transfer not otherwise permitted by this Agreement or the Other Agreements.  English shall be the governing language 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.” References herein to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law as amended, reenacted, supplemented or superseded in whole or in part and in effect from time to time and also to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  Any reference in this Agreement to “ordinary course of business” will be interpreted to mean “ordinary course of business consistent with past practice for all of the Company’s Subsidiaries and facilities taken as a whole.”
13.07    Construction.  The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person.  Except to the extent expressly set forth herein, the specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in this Agreement or in any Schedule is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.  The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedules hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any party hereto to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of Law or breach of contract).  In addition, matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules.  Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.
13.08    Amendment and Waiver.  Any provision of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits hereto may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by the Purchaser, the Company and the Representative; provided, that Sections 7.07, 10.03(c), 10.03(d), 13.08, 13.10, 13.11, 13.12 or 13.15 may be amended in a manner adverse to the lenders included in the definition of Debt Financing Sources only in a writing signed by the Purchaser, the Company, the Representative and the Committed Lenders; provided, further, that the consent

109






of the Purchaser and the Company to any amendment of Sections 1.01 and 1.02 shall be subject to the terms thereof.  No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.
13.09    Complete Agreement.  This Agreement and the documents referred to herein (including without limitation the Escrow Agreement and the Guaranty) contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.
13.10    Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, other than (a) Sections 10.03(c) and 10.03(d) with respect to the Purchaser Group, (b) Article IX with respect to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, (c) Sections 7.07, 10.03(c), 10.03(d), 13.08, 13.10, 13.11, 13.12 or 13.15 with respect to the lenders included in the definition of Debt Financing Sources and (d) any other sections which are specifically for the benefit of such third-parties (including Section 11.06), each of which is intended to be for the benefit of the Persons covered thereby and may be enforced by such Persons.
13.11    Consent to Jurisdiction.  Each party to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, hereby irrevocably (a) submits, subject to Section 1.06, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (or if, but only if, the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) for the purpose of any and all Actions arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon or in connection with this Agreement or the subject matter hereof or the Contemplated Transactions, (b) waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such action brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of improper venue or forum non conveniens, should be transferred to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other proceeding in any other court other than one of the above-named courts, or that this Agreement or any claims arising in whole or in part out of, related to, based upon, or in connection herewith or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, (c) agrees not to commence any such Action other than before one of the above-named courts nor to make any motion or take any other action seeking or intending to cause the transfer or removal of any such action to any court other than one of the above-named courts (subject in each case to clause (a)) whether on the grounds of inconvenient forum or otherwise, (d) consents to service of process in any such Action in any manner permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware, (e) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (d) or made pursuant to Section 13.03 will constitute good and valid service of process in any such Action, and (f) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise) in any such Action any claim that service of process made in accordance with clause (d) or clause (e) does not constitute good and valid service of process.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, a party may commence an Action in any other court to enforce an order or judgment issued by one of the courts described in the 

110






immediately preceding sentence.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Sponsor or the Debt Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Commitment Letters, the Debt Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).
13.12    Waiver of Trial by Jury.  THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING ANY ACTION INVOLVING ANY DEBT FINANCING SOURCE, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
13.13    Purchaser Deliveries.  The Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that all documents or other items delivered or made available to the Purchaser’s representatives shall be deemed to be delivered or made available, as the case may be, to the Purchaser for all purposes hereunder.
13.14    Specific Performance.
(a)    The Sellers and the Purchaser acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the Purchaser or the Sellers and that the Purchaser or the Sellers will not have an adequate remedy at law.  Therefore, except as set forth in Section 13.14(b), the obligations of the Sellers and the Purchaser under this Agreement, including each Seller’s obligation to sell the Purchased Securities to the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Purchased Securities from the Sellers and complete the Contemplated Transactions, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith.  Except as set forth in Section 13.14(b), such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that prior to the Closing, the Representative shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to cause the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub to draw down the proceeds of the Debt Financing and the proceeds of the Equity Financing, obtain and draw down on the Alternative Financing (if necessary) and enforce specifically the obligation of the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub to consummate the Closing (and to pay the Estimated Total Equity Value and all other amounts that the Purchaser and Finance Merger Sub are required to pay (or to cause to be paid) on the Closing Date pursuant to Section 1.05) on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement only if: (i) all conditions in Section 2.01 have been satisfied as of the date on which the Closing would otherwise be required to occur (other than those conditions that, by their terms or nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing (provided such conditions are

111






capable of being satisfied at the Closing)); (ii) the Purchaser fails to consummate the Closing by the date the Closing would otherwise be required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.04 (provided, that, for the purposes of determining whether the Closing is so required to occur, all conditions set forth in Sections 2.01 and 2.02 that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Closing shall be deemed to be so satisfied for the purposes of clause (i) and this clause (ii) if such conditions are capable of being satisfied at the Closing)); (iii) the Debt Financing (or, if applicable, any Alternative Financing) has been funded, or would be funded to the Purchaser and or Finance Merger Sub at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing (provided that the Purchaser and or Finance Merger Sub shall not be required to draw down the Equity Financing or to consummate the Closing if the Debt Financing (or, if applicable, any Alternative Financing) is not in fact funded at the Closing); and (iv) the Trilogy Parties and the Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) have irrevocably confirmed in writing to the Purchaser that the Trilogy Parties and the Sellers are prepared to and able to effect the Closing upon funding of the Equity Financing and Debt Financing.  Nothing herein shall limit the Company’s rights after termination to receive the Purchaser Termination Fee, to the extent entitled thereto in accordance with Section 10.03, notwithstanding that the Sellers or the Trilogy Parties sought (but were not granted) specific performance or injunctive relief in accordance with this Section 13.14, and the fact that the Company is entitled to receive the Purchaser Termination Fee to the extent provided in accordance with Section 10.03 shall not limit the rights of the Sellers and the Trilogy Parties to specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to this Section 13.14 prior to termination of this Agreement, but in no event shall the Sellers and the Trilogy Parties be entitled to both a decree of specific performance or injunctive relief against Purchaser pursuant to this Section 13.14 and to receive the Purchaser Termination Fee.
13.15    Non-Recourse.  
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Other Agreements, except to the extent expressly set forth in the applicable Equity Commitment Letter, the applicable Guaranty or the Confidentiality Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party to the Equity Commitment Letter, Guaranty or the Confidentiality Agreement, respectively, and not otherwise), and this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the entities that are expressly identified herein as parties and none of the members of the Purchaser Group other than the Purchaser and the Sponsors (and, in the case of a Sponsor, then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such Sponsor pursuant to the applicable Equity Commitment Letter or the applicable Guaranty) shall have any Liability for any Liabilities or obligations of the parties hereto for any Action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Agreement or the Other Agreements or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, no party hereto shall have any rights of recovery in respect hereof against any member of the Purchaser Group and no personal liability shall attach to any member of the Purchaser Group through the Purchaser or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through an Action (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of the Purchaser against any member of the Purchaser Group, by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable Law, or otherwise.  The Representative (on behalf of the Sellers and the Merger Cash Recipients) and each Trilogy Party (for itself and its Affiliates) acknowledge that they have been advised that the Purchaser has no assets and that no funds are expected to be contributed to the Purchaser except in connection with the Closing.

112






(b)    In no event shall the Company, the Sellers, the Trilogy Parties or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of the Company, the Sellers or the Trilogy Parties have any rights or claims against, or seek to obtain monetary damages from, any Debt Financing Source or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, successors, affiliates or assignees in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Financing or the transactions contemplated by any of the foregoing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise.
13.16    Delivery by Facsimile or Electronic Transmission.  This Agreement and any signed agreement entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic transmission, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall 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 any party hereto or to any such contract, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties.  No party hereto or to any such contract shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine or electronic means as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.
13.17    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
13.18    Governing Law.  All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
13.19    REIT Savings Clause.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any amount paid to any Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement in any tax year exceed the maximum amount that can be paid in such year without causing any Purchaser Indemnified Party or its Affiliate to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code (the “REIT Requirements”) for such year, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2)(A)-(I) and 856(c)(3)(A)-(I) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”) as determined by Purchaser.  If the amount payable for any tax year under the preceding sentence is less than the amount which the indemnifying party would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement (the “Indemnifiable Amount”), the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall so notify the indemnifying party, and the indemnifying party shall place the remaining portion of the Indemnifiable Amount in escrow and shall not execute any instrumentation permitting a release of any portion thereof to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, and the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to any such amount, unless and until the indemnifying party and 

113






escrow holder receive notice from the Purchaser, together with either (a) an opinion of the Purchaser’s tax counsel to the effect that such amount, if and to the extent paid, would not constitute gross income which is not Qualifying Income or (b) a letter from the Purchaser’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid at that time to the Purchaser Indemnified Party without causing any Purchaser Indemnified Party or its Affiliate to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for any relevant taxable year, together with either a ruling from the IRS issued to the Purchaser or an opinion of the Purchaser’s tax counsel to the effect that such payment would not be treated as includible in the income of the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party for any prior taxable year, in which event the escrow holder shall pay the lesser of (i) such maximum amount or (ii) the remaining portion of the Indemnifiable Amount in escrow.  The indemnifying party’s and escrow holder’s obligation to pay any unpaid portion of the Indemnifiable Amount shall terminate ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement and, upon such date, escrow holder shall remit any remaining funds in escrow to the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to make any further payments to the Purchaser Indemnified Party notwithstanding that the entire Indemnifiable Amount has not been paid as of such date.
