      Company Expenses; and (v) the calculation of all outstanding Royalties attributable to the period prior to the Closing and all Prepaid Royalties for all Franchise Locations, all determined in accordance with the Accounting Principles.  The Purchaser
      shall be entitled to review, comment on, and request reasonable changes to the Closing Estimates and the Seller shall consider the Purchaser’s proposed changes in good faith.  If the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reach agreement on any of
      the Purchaser’s proposed changes, the Closing Estimates as proposed by the Seller shall control solely for the purposes of calculating the Closing Payment, and shall not limit or otherwise affect the Purchaser’s remedies under this Agreement or
      otherwise or constitute an acknowledgment by the Purchaser of the accuracy of the Closing Estimates or the accounting methods or policies utilized in the calculation thereof.

     

    (b)       Within forty-five (45) calendar days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Seller a statement of the
      Purchaser’s calculations of: (i) the Closing Net Working Capital Items; (ii) the Closing Date Cash; (iii) the Closing Date Debt; (iv) the Closing Date Company Expenses; and (v) the calculation of all
      outstanding Royalties attributable to the period prior to the Closing and all Prepaid Royalties for all Franchise Locations (the “Adjustment Calculations”), all determined in accordance with the Accounting
      Principles.  The Seller and the Purchaser agree that the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital shall be prepared in a format consistent with the sample calculations, which have been included for illustrative purposes only, set forth on Part 2 of
      Schedule 2.3.  If the Purchaser fails to timely deliver the Adjustment Calculations, the Purchaser will be deemed conclusively to have agreed to the Closing Estimates, which shall be final and binding upon the Purchaser as the definitive
      calculation of Closing Net Worth Capital.

     

    (c)       Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Purchaser’s delivery of the Adjustment Calculations, the Seller may deliver a written notice to the
      Purchaser of any disagreement with any item contained within the Adjustment Calculations (the “Objection Statement”).  For each disputed item, the Seller shall include: (i) the basis for any disagreement, (ii)
      the nature and amount of such disagreement, and (iii) reasonable supporting documentation, information and calculations thereof for any disagreement.  The Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the
      Adjustment Calculations that are not disputed in the Objection Statement.  If the Seller fails to timely deliver the Objection Statement, the Seller will be deemed conclusively to have agreed to the Adjustment Calculations, which shall be final and
      binding upon the Seller.

     

    

    
      3

      
        


    

      (d)          If the Seller delivers an Objection Statement, the Purchaser and the Seller shall, during the fifteen (15) calendar days following the
      Seller’s delivery of the Objection Statement, use their commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the Adjustment Calculations, which shall not be more
      favorable to the Purchaser than the amount thereof shown in the Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b) nor more favorable to the Seller than the amount thereof shown in the Objection Statement.  If, during such period,
      the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter select an independent accounting firm of national standing mutually agreed to by the Seller and the Purchaser) (the “Accounting



        Referee”) to review this Agreement and the disputed items and amounts for the purpose of calculating the Adjustment Calculations.  There shall be no ex parte communications between any party and the
      Accounting Referee.  In making such calculation, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those still unresolved items and amounts in the Purchaser’s calculation of Adjustment Calculations as to which the Seller duly objected in accordance with Section



        2.3(c) and the Accounting Referee shall not consider any settlement offers exchanged between the Purchaser and the Seller.  The Accounting Referee’s calculation shall not be more favorable to the Purchaser than the amount thereof shown in the
      Purchaser’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b) nor more favorable to the Seller than the amount thereof shown in the Objection Statement.  The Accounting Referee shall agree that, between the time the Seller delivered the
      Objection Statement to the Purchaser and the date thereof, the Purchaser and the Seller may have exchanged certain proposals relating to the disputed items, which were intended solely for purposes of facilitating settlement discussions, and such
      proposals were confidential and were provided solely on the condition and understanding that such proposals would not be permitted to be disclosed in any court or arbitration hearing, including with respect to the Accounting Referee’s engagement in
      the dispute.  The Accounting Referee will be instructed to disregard any evidence of such settlement proposals and negotiations in its consideration of the disputed matters.  The Accounting Referee shall deliver to the Seller and the Purchaser, as
      promptly as practicable (but in any case, no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date of engagement of the Accounting Referee), a report setting forth calculations of the disputed amounts, and its reasonable basis for each of its
      determinations.  Absent manifest error, such report shall be final and binding upon the Seller and the Purchaser.  The cost of such review and report by the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by the Seller and the Purchaser.  Other than the
      fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee, the Purchaser and the Seller will each be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with any action taken pursuant to this Section 2.3(d).

     

    (e)        The Purchaser and the Seller each shall (and shall cause its respective representatives to) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate and
      assist, to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in the preparation of the Adjustment Calculations and in the conduct of the review referred to in this Section 2.3, including the making available to the extent reasonably necessary of
      books, records, work papers and appropriate personnel.  If the Purchaser claims that the Seller has, or the Seller claims that the Purchaser has, as applicable, failed to comply with its obligation under this Section 2.3(e), it may refer such
      alleged non-compliance to the Accounting Referee.  The Accounting Referee shall have the authority to determine if the applicable party has complied with its obligations under this Section 2.3(e) and to order the non-compliant party to comply
      with its obligations under this Section 2.3(e).  The Purchaser and the Seller each shall comply with any such determination by such Accounting Referee.

     

    (f)        The “Final Closing Amounts” shall be the Adjustment Calculations, as applicable:  (i) as shown in the
      Purchaser’s calculation thereof, if the Seller does not duly deliver the Objection Statement in accordance with Section 2.3(c); or (ii) if the Seller duly delivers the Objection Statement in accordance with Section 2.3(a):  either (A)
      as agreed by the Seller and the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(d); or (B) as shown in the Accounting Referee’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(d); provided, however, that in no event shall Final
      Closing Amounts be more favorable to the Purchaser than the Purchaser’s calculation of the Adjustment Calculations or more favorable to the Seller than the Seller’s calculation in the Objection Statement.  After the Final Closing Amounts have been
      determined, the Closing Payment shall be adjusted, if necessary, so that the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, receive or make payments to each other so that, after taking into account the prior adjustments to the Closing
      Payment in this Section 2.3, the Purchaser will have paid and the Seller will have received the appropriate Closing Payment.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the following provisions shall apply:

     

    
      4

      
        


    

    (i)          If, upon determination of the Final Closing Amounts, the Purchaser is required to pay an additional amount
        to the Seller (such additional amount being the “PP Underpayment”), then the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the PP Underpayment.

     

    (ii)        If, upon determination of Final Closing Amounts, the Seller is required to refund an amount to the Purchaser
        (such amount being the “PP Overpayment”), then the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the PP Overpayment.

     

    (g)        Any payment due to either the Seller or the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3(f) shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the
      Final Closing Amounts have been determined pursuant to this Section 2.3, and shall be made by wire transfer by the Purchaser or the Seller (or their respective designees), as the case may be, of immediately available funds to the account of
      the receiving party as may be designated in writing by such party.  All payments made pursuant to Section 2.3(f) shall be treated by the Purchaser and the Seller as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

     

    (h)        The process set forth in this Section 2.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Seller and the
        Purchaser and their respective Affiliates for any disputes related to the Closing Estimates and the calculations and amounts on which the Closing Estimates are based or set forth in the related statements and notices delivered in connection
        therewith.

     

    
      2.4          Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation.

    

     

    (a)        The Purchaser and the Seller agree that, since each Company is classified as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes, the sale and purchase
      of the Interests shall be treated for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as a sale by Seller and purchase by Purchaser of the assets of each Company, subject to the liabilities of the Company.  The Parties agree to file
      all applicable Tax Returns consistent with the treatment described in this Section 2.4(a) and to not otherwise take any Tax position to the contrary, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

     

    (b)        Within 60 days after the final determination of the Final Closing Amounts in accordance with Section 2.3, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a schedule setting forth the
      allocation of the Purchase Price among the assets of the Company in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Proposed Allocation”) for Seller’s review. If Seller disagrees with the Proposed Allocation,
      Seller may, within 30 days after delivery of the Proposed Allocation, deliver written notice to Purchaser setting forth in reasonable detail its disagreement with the Proposed Allocation. In the event that Seller does not provide such a notice of
      disagreement within such 30-day period, Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed to the Proposed Allocation, which shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely
      provided, the Proposed Allocation will be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder except as to the disagreements duly raised in such notice, and Seller and Purchaser shall work together in good faith for a period of 30 days (or such
      longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any such disagreements with respect to the Proposed Allocation. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then any such remaining disagreements shall be resolved
      by the Accounting Referee in accordance with the procedures, and the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne by Seller and Purchaser in accordance with the rules, set forth in Section 2.3(d). The Proposed Allocation as
      finally agreed or determined pursuant to this Section 2.4(a) shall be the “Final Allocation.”

     

    
      5

      
        


    

    (c)        The Final Allocation shall be adjusted as mutually agreed by Seller and Purchaser for any subsequent adjustments to the purchase price for the Interests under this Agreement. Seller and
      Purchaser shall file all Tax Returns consistent with  the Final Allocation.

          Date”) by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 8.2 (unless the failure results primarily from the Seller’s or any Company’s breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement);

     

    (c)        by the Purchaser’s written notice to the Seller at any time prior to the Closing if:  (i) the Seller or any

     (b)        In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 3.2, then the parties shall be relieved of their duties
      and obligations arising under this Agreement after the date of such termination and such termination shall be without liability to the parties; provided, however, that (i) no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from
      liability for any willful breach prior to the termination of this Agreement and (ii) the obligations of the parties set forth in Section 7.7 (Publicity) and Article XI (Miscellaneous) shall survive any such termination and shall be

    ARTICLE IV

    REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE COMPANIES

     

    As a material inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedules (each section of which
      qualifies the sections of this Article IV to which such Disclosure Schedules relate and other sections in this Article IV to the extent it is reasonably apparent on its face that such disclosure is applicable to such other sections
      and subsections), the Parent, the Seller and the Target Companies, jointly and severally, represent as follows (it being understood that the mere inclusion of an item in the Disclosure Schedules as an exception to a representation or warranty shall
      not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had, would have or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect), provided, however, that, to
      the extent any of the following representations would not be true and correct until the completion of the Asset Allocation Actions, such representation and warranty will be deemed only to be required to be true and correct by the time of Closing:

     

    4.1         Organization and Good Standing.  Each of the Companies is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
      (and the State of Arizona for SVCC) and has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business as now conducted and to own and operate its assets as now owned and operated by it.  Each of the Companies is duly qualified or authorized to do
      business as a foreign limited liability company and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property (including any Company Restaurant) and each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business
      or the ownership of its assets requires such qualification or authorization (which jurisdictions are set forth on Schedule 4.1). Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1 and except for the names of the predecessor entities to the Companies
      who held the assets of the Companies prior to the Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date (as reflected in the Reorganization Proceedings), since the Reorganization Petition Filing Date, no Company has conducted any business under or otherwise used,
      for any purpose or in any jurisdiction, any fictitious names, assumed name, trade name or other name.

     

    4.2          Authorization of Agreement.  The Companies have all requisite limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other agreement,
      document, instrument or certificate contemplated by this Agreement or to be executed by the Companies in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively with this Agreement, the “Company Documents”), and to consummate the transactions and perform their respective obligations as contemplated thereby.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Company Documents and the consummation of
      the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite limited liability company action on the part of the Companies.  This Agreement has been, and each of the other Company Documents will be at or prior to the Closing, duly
      and validly executed and delivered by the Companies and (assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Purchaser) this Agreement constitutes, and each of the other Company Documents will constitute, the legal, valid and binding
      obligation of the Companies, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

     

    

    
      9

      
        


    

     4.3         Conflicts; Consents of Third Parties.

     

    (a)         None of the execution, delivery or performance by the Companies of the Company Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated
      thereby, or compliance by the Companies with any of the provisions thereof will:  (i) cause the Companies to violate or breach any Law or Order in any material respect; (ii) conflict with or result in a violation of the Organizational Documents of
      the Companies; (iii) except as set forth on Schedule 4.3(a), conflict with or result in a material breach or termination of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, accelerate any obligations
      arising under, trigger any payment under, result in the creation of any Lien pursuant to, or otherwise materially and adversely affect, any Material Contract to which any Company is a party or by which its assets may be bound (provided, however, that
      nothing in this clause (iii) shall be deemed to apply to any Consent purportedly required of, or notice purportedly required to, the counterparty to any Contract (or any other Persons with interests therein) other than Franchise Agreements or leases
      for Leased Real Property); or (iv) require the Companies to make a payment or provide other compensation to any officer, director, employee, consultant or agent of the Companies (other than any such payment that will be borne by the Seller as part of
      the Company Expenses).

     

    (b)       Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3(b), no Order, Permit or Consent of, any Person or Governmental Body is required on the part of the
      Companies in connection with the execution and delivery of the Company Documents or the compliance by the Companies with any of the provisions thereof, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (provided, however,
      that, this Section 4.3(b) is deemed not to apply to any Contracts).

     

    4.4          Capitalization.

     

    (a)         All of the Interests are held by the Seller (or certain of the Companies) as set forth on Schedule 4.4(a), free and clear of all Liens. 
      All of the Interests were duly authorized for issuance and are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and were issued in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), any applicable state “blue sky” or securities law and any other applicable Law.  The Interests constitute 100% of the total issued and outstanding membership interests in the Target Companies.   None of the Interests
      were issued in violation of the Organizational Documents or any pre-emptive, preferential or similar rights of any Person.  The delivery to the Purchaser of the Interests pursuant to this Agreement will vest in the Purchaser good and valid title to
      the Interests, free and clear of all Liens other than any restrictions imposed by applicable securities laws (and the transfer thereof to the Purchaser under this Agreement will not violate any preemptive, preferential or similar rights of any
      Person).

     

    (b)         Except as set forth on Schedule 4.4(b), there are no authorized or outstanding:  (i) options, warrants, calls rights of first refusal or

    4.5          Subsidiaries.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.5 (or the ownership by any Company of the equity interests of another Company as reflected on Schedule 4.4(a)),
      the Companies do not own any shares, equity or debt securities or other ownership interest, directly or indirectly, in any other Person, nor are any of them party to any Contract to acquire any such shares, securities or other ownership interest, or
      subject to any obligation to make any further debt or equity investment in any Person listed in Schedule 4.5.  The Companies are the sole record and beneficial owners of all shares, securities or ownership interests described on Schedule
        4.5, free and clear of any Liens.

    4.6          Financial Statements; Books and Records; Accounts Receivable; Inventory.

     

    (a)         Schedule 4.6(a) sets forth true and complete copies of:  (i) the unaudited, consolidated balance sheet of the Companies for the fiscal
      year ended December 27, 2020 and the related, unaudited, consolidated profit and loss statement and statement of cash flows (the “Annual Financial Statements”); and (ii) the unaudited, consolidated balance
      sheet of the Companies at May 16, 2021, and the related statements of income for the five (5) fiscal month period then ended (the “Interim Financial Statements”, and together with the Annual Financial
      Statements, the “Financial Statements”).

     

    (b)        Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(b), the Financial Statements: (i) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and fairly present the
      financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Companies as at the dates and for the periods indicated therein, (ii) are correct and complete in all material respects, and (iii) are consistent with the books and records of the
      Companies maintained in the Ordinary Course of Business; provided, however, that the Interim Financial Statements are subject to year-end adjustments and the Financial Statements lack footnote disclosure otherwise required by GAAP.

     

    (c)        The minute books and stock record books of the Target Companies with respect to matters related to the
      period from and after the Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date, all of which have been made available to Purchaser (and Seller will also make a good faith effort to provide Purchaser with all such available books and records related to matters prior
      to the Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date), are complete and correct and have been maintained in accordance with sound business practices. The minute books of the Target Companies with respect to matters related to the period from and after the
      Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date contain accurate and complete records of all meetings, and actions taken by written consent of, the members, stockholders, the board of directors and any committees of the board of directors of the Company, and
      no meeting, or action taken by written consent, of any such members, stockholders, board of directors or committee has been held with respect to such period for which minutes have not been prepared and are not contained in such minute books. At the
      Closing, all of those books and records will be in the possession of the Target Companies.

     

    (d)        The inventories on hand are all in the physical possession of the Companies at the Company Restaurants, in transfer from a supplier of the
      Companies, or at a supplier’s location.  The inventories on hand are reasonable in all material respects in relation to the existing circumstances of the Companies and are classified as current assets in accordance with GAAP.

     

    4.7         No Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 or to the extent reflected in the Reference Balance Sheet, none of the Companies have any Liabilities
      which, under GAAP, should be accrued or disclosed on a balance sheet of any Company similar to that included in the Financial Statements, other than:  (i) accounts payable and accrued expenses incurred after the Reference Balance Sheet Date in the
      Ordinary Course of Business; (ii) executory obligations or liabilities under Contracts listed on Schedule 4.13(a) or that are not required to be listed thereon (but not including any Liabilities or obligations arising out of any breach of
      Contract); or (iii) Liabilities incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    4.8        Absence of Certain Developments.  Since the Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date: (i) each Company has conducted its business in the Ordinary Course of Business; and (ii) there
      has not been any event, change, occurrence, development or circumstance that has had, or is reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as contemplated by this Agreement or as set forth on Schedule

        4.8, since the Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date, the Companies have not, and solely with respect to Section 4.8(c), the Parent and its Subsidiaries have not:

     

    (a)         incurred any Debt, other than Debt with respect to which the Companies shall be released from all liability
        at Closing;

        payable to any current or former Business Employee, other than that as may be required by Law; (iv) adopted any new, or changed the terms of, any existing bonus, pension, insurance, health or other benefit plan in which any Business Employee
        participates; or (v) represented to any Business Employee or former Business Employee that the Parent or its Subsidiaries, the Purchaser or any other Person would continue to maintain or implement any benefit or would continue to employ such
        employee after the Closing Date;

     

    (d)        suffered any damage, destruction or loss (whether or not covered by insurance) to any of its material

    (k)        sold, assigned, transferred or granted any rights to any material Intellectual Property, entered into any
        settlement regarding the breach or infringement of any material Intellectual Property, or taken any action (or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, failed to take any action) that has resulted in, or would reasonably be likely to result in, the loss, lapse,
        abandonment, invalidity or enforceability of any of its material Intellectual Property; or

     

    (l)         committed or agreed to do any of the foregoing (to the extent any such commitment or agreement remains
        effective on the date of this Agreement).

     

    4.9          Taxes.  Except as set forth on the applicable subpart of Schedule 4.9:

     

    
      12

      
        


    

    (a)        Each Company has timely filed or has had filed on its behalf all material Tax Returns and reports required by
        Law to be filed by it (taking into account any applicable extension of time within which to file), all of which were true, correct and complete in all material respects.  All Taxes required by Law to be paid by or on behalf of each Company have
        been fully and timely paid or accrued on the books and records of the applicable Company in accordance with GAAP.  No waivers or extensions of statutes of limitations have been given or requested with respect to any such Tax Returns or with respect
        to any Taxes.  To the Knowledge of Seller and the Companies, no claim has been made by any Taxing Authority in a jurisdiction where a Company does not file Tax Returns that such Company was, is, or may be subject to taxation by, or required to file
        a Tax Return in, that jurisdiction.  To the Knowledge of Seller and the Companies, there is no Tax deficiency or delinquency asserted or threatened against any Company.

     

    (b)        All Taxes required by Law to be withheld or collected by or on behalf of the Companies in connection with
        amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, stockholder, member or other third party have been withheld or collected and have been duly and timely paid to the proper Taxing Authority to the extent due and payable.

     

    (c)       As of the date of this Agreement, no Company is currently the subject of an audit or other examination relating
        to the payment of Taxes of such Company by any federal, state or local tax authorities nor has any Company received any written notices from any Taxing Authority indicating an intent to open an audit or other examination or that such an audit or
        examination is pending.  There are no Liens for Taxes (other than Liens for current Taxes not yet due and payable) upon the Interests or any Assets.

     

    (d)       No Company (i) has received or applied for a Tax ruling or entered into a closing agreement that would be binding upon the Company after the Closing Date, (ii) is, or has been since the
      Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date, a member of any affiliated, consolidated, or unitary group for purposes of filing Tax Returns or paying Taxes and (iii) has liability for the Taxes of any other Person (whether under Treasury Regulation Section
      1.1502-6 or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, or as a transferee or successor, or pursuant to any Tax sharing, allocation or indemnity agreement or any other contractual agreements, or otherwise).  No Company is, or has been since
      the Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date, a party to or bound by any Tax indemnity agreement, Tax sharing agreement, Tax allocation agreement or similar contract.

     

    (e)         No Company has engaged in a trade or business, had a permanent establishment (within the meaning of an applicable Tax treaty), or otherwise has become subject to Tax jurisdiction in a
      country other than the country of its formation.

     

    (f)         No Company has been a party to a transaction that is or is substantially similar to a “reportable transaction,” as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(1), or
      any other transaction requiring disclosure under analogous provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law.

     

    (g)        Each Company has continuously since its formation been properly treated as a “disregarded entity” for federal and applicable state income Tax purposes under Treasury Regulations Section
      301.7701-3.  No Company has filed an election to be treated as an “association” that is taxable as a corporation for federal and applicable state income Tax purposes.

     

    4.10        Real Property.

     

    (a)        No Company owns any real property except as identified as such on Schedule 4.10(a) (the “Owned Real
        Property”).  No Company occupies as a tenant any real property except as identified as such on Schedule 4.10(a) (the “Leased Real Property” and, together with the Owned Real Property, the “Company Real Property”).  Schedule 4.10(a) sets forth the address of each parcel of real property from which a Company operates its business, each of which is a Company Restaurant located on Company Real
      Property, as well as each real estate location at which any Franchisee of any Company is authorized to operate a Franchise Restaurant (collectively, the “Franchise Locations”).  The Company Real Property
      comprises all of the real property used by the Companies in the Business.  As of the date of this Agreement, each Company has good, marketable and valid title to its Owned Real Property, or good and valid leasehold or sublease interests or other
      comparable contract rights to its Leased Real Property, free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Exceptions.

     

    
      13

      
        


    

    (b)        No portion of the Company Real Property is subject to any pending condemnation or eminent domain Legal Proceeding or other Legal Proceeding by any
      Governmental Body and, to the Knowledge of the Seller, there is no threatened condemnation or eminent domain Legal Proceeding or other Legal Proceeding with respect thereto.

     

    (c)       No Company is in violation of any easement, covenant, condition, restriction or similar provision in any instrument of record or other unrecorded
      agreement affecting the Company Real Property in any material respect.  Neither the Seller nor the Companies has received any written notice of violation of the foregoing.

     

    4.11        Tangible Personal Property; Sufficiency.

     

    (a)         Except as noted on Schedule 4.11(a):  (i) all material Tangible Assets owned or leased by each of the Companies are in the possession of
      such Company, as applicable, at a portion of the Company Real Property; and (ii) to the Knowledge of the Seller, such Tangible Assets are in good operating condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and adequate for the conduct of the
      Business in the Ordinary Course of Business (taking into account the provision of Overhead and Shared Services under the Shared Services Agreements).

     

    (b)         The Companies own all right, title and interest in and to all of the properties and assets reflected in the Reference Balance Sheet or acquired
      by the Companies since the Reference Balance Sheet Date, free and clear of any and all Liens (other than Permitted Exceptions, including those on Schedule 4.11(b)).

     

    (c)         Except as set forth on Schedule 4.11(c) and for Overhead and Shared Services, the properties and assets (tangible and intangible) owned
      or leased by the Companies constitute all of the material properties and material assets necessary to conduct the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business.

     

    4.12        Intellectual Property.

     

    (a)        Set forth on the applicable subpart of Schedule 4.12(a) is a list of all:  (i) patents and applications therefor; (ii) trademarks, service
      marks, service names or trade names or registrations or applications for registration thereof; (iii) copyright registrations and applications for copyright registration; and (iv) domain names, in each case with respect to the foregoing clauses (i)
      through (iv), owned or held by each Company (collectively, the “Listed Intellectual Property”).  Each item of Listed Intellectual Property is in full force and effect in all material respects.  All necessary
      registration, maintenance and renewal fees in connection with such Listed Intellectual Property have been paid and all necessary documents and certificates in connection with such Listed Intellectual Property have been filed with the relevant
      Governmental Body for the purpose of perfecting or maintaining such Listed Intellectual Property.  None of the Listed Intellectual Property is the subject of any challenge pending with any patent or trademark office or received by the Companies in
      writing.

     

    (b)        To the Knowledge of the Seller, the current use of any material Intellectual Property by each Company in the Business as conducted in the Ordinary
      Course of Business does not conflict with, infringe upon or violate in any material respect any rights of any third party.  Neither the Companies nor the Seller has received any written notice, charge, claim or other assertion of any present,
      impending (or to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened) infringement by, or misappropriation of, or conflict with any material Intellectual Property of any other Person that has not been resolved, in each case with respect to the operations of the
      Business.  To the Knowledge of the Seller, no third party is infringing any material Intellectual Property used by the Companies.

     

    
      14

      
        


    

    (c)         The Companies have, and immediately following the Closing will have, the right to use all material Intellectual Property used in the conduct of
      the Business in the Ordinary Course of Business.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.12(c), none of the Companies are required to pay any royalties, honoraria, fees or other payments to any Person by reason of the use of any material
      Intellectual Property.  All credentials required to access the Intellectual Property will be available to the Purchaser immediately following Closing.

     

    (d)        The representations and warranties in this Section 4.12 are the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Companies relating to Intellectual Property (or liabilities, obligations, or compliance with Laws related
        thereto), and no other representation or warranty in this Agreement shall be construed to apply to any matter relating to Intellectual Property associated with the Business.

     

    4.13        Material Contracts.

     

    (a)       Schedule 4.13(a) sets forth those Contracts to which any Company is a party (that are in effect on the date hereof and which have not yet
      been fully performed by the applicable Companies and any applicable counterparties) that satisfy any of the following criteria (collectively, the “Material Contracts”, provided, however, that any Contract
      identified on Schedule 4.13(a) as an “Immaterial Contract” is conclusively deemed not to be a Material Contract regardless of whether it satisfies any of the following criteria):

     

    (i)         Contracts relating to the acquisition or disposition by any Company of (A) any business, real property or business segment (whether by merger,

      Ordinary Course of Business) for consideration in excess of $50,000;

        4.13(a)(v)), it being understood that the granting of any licenses or other rights to utilize baking recipes to another Person (without use of a Target Company’s branding or trade dress and without otherwise satisfying the legal definition of a
      “franchise agreement”) does not constitute a Franchise Agreement;

     

    
      15

      
        


    

    (vi)        Contracts pursuant to which any Company is the lessor or lessee of any real property, building or structure;

      on Schedule 4.13(a)(vii));

     

    (viii)     all broker, distributor, dealer, manufacturer’s representative, agency, sales promotion, market research,
        marketing consulting and advertising Contracts to which any Company is a party, which individually involve the expenditure or receipt by the Companies of more than $25,000;

     

    (ix)       Contracts that require the Companies to purchase minimum quantities (or pay any amount for failure to purchase any specific quantities) of goods
      or services, comply with “take or pay” arrangements, deal with any Person on an exclusive basis, or provide “most favored nation” or similar pricing to any Person;

     

    (x)        Contracts that require the Companies to indemnify or hold harmless any other Person or assume any Tax or environmental liabilities (other than,

    (xi)        Contracts that provide for any partnership, joint venture, strategic alliance, teaming or similar arrangement;

     

    (xii)       Contracts that provide for or relate to any employment or consulting relationship with any Person and not terminable upon sixty (60) calendar

      other hand that will survive the Closing;

     

    (xviii)    all collective bargaining agreements or Contracts with any union or group of employees to which any Company is a party; and

     

    (xix)      Contracts with any of the parties listed or required to be listed on Schedule 4.21(a) (to the extent not already included in clause (iii)
      of this Section 4.13(a)).

     

    (b)        True, correct and complete copies of all Material Contracts as currently in effect have been made available to
        the Purchaser.  Each Material Contract is a valid and binding obligation of the applicable Company party thereto, enforceable against such Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.  The Companies are not in
        default in any material respect under any Material Contract as of the date of this Agreement.  To the Knowledge of the Seller, no other party to a Material Contract has breached, violated or defaulted under any Material Contract in any material
        respect that has not been cured.

      benefits of those Business Employees existing on the date of this Agreement.  All wages, bonus commissions and benefits with respect to any Business Employee for any period prior to the Closing Date have been fully paid or accrued, other than any

      hiring, termination, wage and hour requirements, tips and tip credits, correct classification of independent contractors and of employees as exempt and non-exempt, unfair labor practices, work authorization status, immigration, discrimination in
      employment, harassment, retaliation and reasonable accommodation, leaves of absence, terms and conditions of employment, employee health and safety, and WARN and any similar state or local “mass layoff” or “plant closing”), except to the extent that
      any noncompliance would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (c)         Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14(c): (i) there are no Legal Proceedings pending or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, threatened, against
      the Companies, by or regarding any Business Employee (or former employee of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, which former employee, but for his or her cessation of employment prior to the date of this Agreement, would have been categorized hereunder
      as a Business Employee); and (ii) no Company is liable for any payment to any trust or other fund or to any Governmental Body with respect to unemployment compensation benefits, social security or other benefits for employees (other than routine
      payments to be made in the Ordinary Course of Business).

    4.15        Employee Benefits Plans.

      incentives, equity options, phantom equity, equity appreciation rights, equity purchase rights, fringe benefits, severance payments, post-retirement benefits, scholarships, health and welfare benefits, basic or supplemental disability benefits, life
      insurance coverage, sick leave pay, vacation pay, commissions, payroll practices, retention payments, fringe benefits, flexible spending accounts, insurance premium reimbursements or other benefits that the Company sponsors or has Liability with
      respect to, and has an obligation to contribute to for the benefit of any Business Employees (collectively, the “Company Benefit Plans”).  The Companies have made available to the Purchaser true, correct and
      complete copies of: (i) each Company Benefit Plan document; (ii) to the extent applicable, Forms 5500; and (iii) the most recent summary plan description for each Company Benefit Plan for which such summary plan description is required.

      intended to be tax qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and each retirement plan covered under Section 408 of the Code (each, a “Company Pension Plan”).  All Company Pension Plans that are maintained,
      contributed to or required to be contributed to by the Companies or any ERISA Affiliate are so qualified.  To the Knowledge of the Seller, no event has occurred since the date of the most recent determination letter or application therefor relating
      to any such Company Pension Plan that would adversely affect the qualification of such Company Pension Plan.  No Legal Proceeding (other than routine benefit claims) has been asserted or instituted or, to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened

      any of them had an obligation to maintain, contribute to, or otherwise participate in, any employee benefit plans that are “multiemployer plans” (within the meaning of
      Section 3(37) of ERISA or Code Section 414(f)), “multiple employer plans” (within the meaning of Code Section 413(c)), plans that are subject to the provisions of Title IV of ERISA, or a welfare plan that is a
      “multiple employer welfare arrangement” (within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA).  None of the Companies (i) has withdrawn or partially withdrawn from any multiemployer plan, or (ii) has, or reasonably
      expects to have, any withdrawal liabilities with respect to any such plans.

      with respect to the Business; or (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such benefits.  No Company Benefit Plan provides for post-employment benefits of any kind whatsoever (other than under COBRA, the Federal
      Social Security Act or any employee plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code) to any former director or employee of, or other provider of services to, the Company or an ERISA Affiliate (or a beneficiary of any such Person), nor have any

      previously obtained is required on the part of the Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of the Seller Documents or the Parent in connection with the execution and delivery of the Parent Documents, or the compliance by the Seller or
      the Parent with any of the provisions hereof or thereof, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

     

    5.3         Ownership and Transfer of Interests.  The Seller is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Interests as set forth on Schedule 4.4(a), free and clear of any and all
      Liens.  The Seller has the power and authority to sell, transfer, assign and deliver the Interests as provided in this Agreement, and such delivery will vest in the Purchaser good and valid title to such Interests, free and clear of any and all
      Liens.  The Seller is not a party to any voting trust or other Contract with respect to the voting, redemption, sale, transfer or other disposition of the Interests.

     

    5.4         Litigation.  There are no Legal Proceedings pending, or to the Knowledge of the Seller, threatened, that are reasonably likely to prohibit or restrain the ability of the Seller or
      the Parent to enter into this Agreement or timely consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

     

    5.5        Financial Advisors.  Other than Stephens Inc., no Person has acted, directly or indirectly, as a broker, finder, agent, representative or similar intermediary for any Company, the

      Governmental Body in any material respect; or (ii) materially conflict with or result in a material breach or termination of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a material default under, accelerate any obligations arising
      under, trigger any payment under, or result in the creation of any Lien pursuant to, or otherwise materially and adversely affect any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party or

      ability to pay as they become absolute and matured.

    ARTICLE VII

    COVENANTS

     

    7.1         Access to Information.

     

    (a)         Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Companies, the Seller and the Parent shall give to the Purchaser, its officers,
      agents, employees, counsel, accountants, engineers and other representatives, reasonable access (for the purpose of examination) to the properties, businesses and operations relating to the Companies and the Business and such examination of the books
      and records of the Companies as the Purchaser reasonably requests.  The Companies, the Parent and the Seller shall cause the officers, employees, consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other representatives of the Companies to reasonably
      cooperate with the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s representatives in connection with such examination.

     

    (b)        For a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing, the Seller and the Parent shall provide the Purchaser and its representatives with
      reasonable access (for the purpose of examination), subject to applicable Law, at reasonable times, on reasonable notice and during normal business hours, at the Seller’s place of business, to such information reasonably related to the Companies or
      the Business in the Seller’s possession or control as is reasonably necessary for financial reporting, human resources, contract administration, audit, regulatory compliance and accounting matters, the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns,
      reports or forms, or the defense of any Legal Proceeding, and the Purchaser and its representatives shall be permitted to make extracts from or take copies of the same.  Such access may be subject to the Purchaser’s execution and delivery of a
      non-disclosure agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Parent.

     

    (c)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no access pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be permitted to the extent that it would (i) be
      prohibited by applicable Law; (ii) require the Purchaser, the Companies or the Parent and its Subsidiaries to disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege (provided, however, that the parties shall use commercially
      reasonable efforts to enter into such joint defense agreements or other arrangements as appropriate, to allow for disclosure of information regarding the Companies or the Business in a manner that does not result in the loss of attorney-client
      privilege); or (iii) conflict with any confidentiality obligation to which the Purchaser, the Companies or the Parent or its Subsidiaries is bound.  Such access shall be permitted at such times as the business of the Seller is customarily conducted,
      and in a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with the business of the Parent and its Subsidiaries.

     

    7.2        No Negotiations.  Until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, neither the Seller or the Parent, nor any of their respective officers, employees,
      consultants, agents, accountants, attorneys and other representatives, shall, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate, encourage or enter into any discussions or negotiations with, or provide any assistance or information to, or enter into any
      agreement with, any Person or group of Persons (other than the Purchaser) concerning any acquisition, directly or indirectly, of the membership interests of the Companies, or any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or
      similar transaction involving, or any purchase of all or a substantial portion of the assets of, the Companies.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller and the Parent shall, and shall cause their respective officers, employees, consultants,
      agents, accountants, attorneys and other representatives to, terminate any current discussions or negotiations with any Person or group of Persons (other than the Purchaser) concerning any acquisition, directly or indirectly, of the membership
      interests of the Companies, or any merger, consolidation, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving, or any purchase of all or a substantial portion of the assets of (or any material asset of), the Companies.

     

    7.3          Operation of the Business.

     

    (a)       Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement), unless otherwise agreed in writing by the
      Purchaser (which agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Companies will (and the Seller will cause the Companies to):

     

    
      27

      
        


    

    (i)          except as otherwise required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, conduct the Business in the Ordinary
        Course of Business;

        in their current condition, ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty or condemnation excepted;

     

    (iii)        pay the debts and Taxes of the Companies when due and pay and perform other obligations of the Companies
        when due;

     

    (iv)        maintain their books and records in the usual, regular and ordinary manner, on a basis consistent with prior
        years;

     

    (v)       maintain the Companies’ material Intellectual Property (including paying all necessary registration,
        maintenance and renewal fees and filing all necessary documents and certificates with the relevant Governmental Body); and

     

    (vi)         maintain in full force all material insurance policies currently in effect in regard to the Companies and
        the Business.

     

    7.4         Conduct Prior to Closing.  Except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld, conditioned or delayed; and, if consent is not granted for any reason, the Seller and the Companies shall be deemed not to be in breach of any obligation under this Agreement that otherwise would be caused by the resulting inability of the
      Seller or the Companies to take the requested action), between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (or earlier termination of this Agreement), each Company will not (and the Seller will ensure each Company does not) do any of the
      following (other than to the extent constituting Asset Allocation Actions, which are deemed to include, but not be limited to, the matters set forth on Schedule 7.4 hereto):

     

    (a)         enter into any (i) inbound license agreement with respect to the Intellectual Property rights of any third

    (b)         settle any pending Legal Proceedings or obtain any releases of threatened Legal Proceedings involving or
        related to either Company;

     

    (c)         enter into (i) except in the Ordinary Course of Business, any Contract of the type described in Section
          4.13(a); or (ii) any new employment agreement or modify any existing employment agreement with any Business Employee (other than to remove any change of control or severance provisions);

     

    (d)         incur (or guarantee) any additional Debt, other than Debt with respect to which the Companies will be
        released at Closing;

     

    (e)         file a petition in bankruptcy, make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or file a petition seeking
        reorganization or arrangement or other action under federal or state bankruptcy laws;

     

    (f)         enter into any agency, partnership, joint venture or trust;

     

    (g)       acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing any assets or equity securities
        of, or by any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire any assets (other than purchases of inventory and equipment in the
        Ordinary Course of Business) or any equity securities;

     

    
      28

      
        


    

    (h)        sell, assign, license, lease, transfer, convey or pledge the Assets or commit itself to sell, assign, license,
        lease, transfer, convey or pledge the Assets or subject any of the Assets to a security interest, in all cases other than entering into licenses and sales of business products in the Ordinary Course of Business;

     

    (i)         enter into any agreement to purchase any interest in real property or enter into any lease, sublease, license
        or other occupancy agreement with respect to real property (other than with respect to extensions or renewals of any Leased Real Property, provided, however, that the Companies are not required by this Agreement to exercise any
        extension or renewal option with respect to any Leased Real Property).

     

    (j)          unless otherwise reasonably requested by the Companies’ accountants or required by GAAP, re-value any of the
        Assets, including writing down the value of inventory;

     

    (k)         issue any equity interests or equity securities;

     

    (l)         unless otherwise reasonably requested by the Companies’ accountants or required by GAAP, change any
        accounting principles, methods or practices, or the manner in which they keep their books and records, or their practices with regard to the booking of sales, receivables, payables or accrued expenses or materially alter their payment or collection
        practices;

     

    (m)       make, change or revoke any material Tax election, elect or change any material method of accounting for Tax
        purposes, settle any Legal Proceeding in respect of Taxes or enter into any Contract in respect of Taxes with any Governmental Body; or

     

    (n)        take, or agree in writing or otherwise to take, any of the actions described in Sections 7.4(a)-(m).

     

    7.5       Consents and Approvals.  The Purchaser, the Seller, the Parent and each of the Companies shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) take all actions necessary or
      appropriate to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including obtaining all consents and waivers identified in Schedule 3.4(a)(ix) (provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the
      Seller’s obligation to pursue such consents and waivers hereunder shall not be interpreted as a requirement that the Seller make any payments to the third parties from whom such consents or waivers are requested, but the Seller reserves the right to
      elect to make such payments in its sole discretion); and (ii) cause the fulfillment at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In
      furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller shall be responsible for any fees and expenses associated with obtaining such consents, including those listed on Schedule 3.4(a)(ix).

     

    7.6          Further Assurances.  All deliveries, payments and other transactions and documents relating to the transactions contemplated herein shall be interdependent and none shall be
      effective unless and until all are effective (except to the extent that the party entitled to the benefit thereof has waived in writing satisfaction or performance thereof as a condition precedent to Closing).  The Purchaser, the Seller, the Parent
      and each of the Companies shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to, from time to time (including after the Closing) and without further consideration, execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) such other documents,
      certificates, agreements and other writings, and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or requested by another party in order to consummate, evidence or implement expeditiously the transactions contemplated by any Company Document,
      Seller Document or Purchaser Document, as applicable.  In furtherance of the foregoing, it is the intent of the parties hereto that all of the assets primarily used in the Business be transferred to the control of the Purchaser pursuant to the
      transactions contemplated hereby.  As such, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, take all commercially reasonable best efforts, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and
      assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required, to ensure that any asset primarily used in the Business which is not currently owned by the Companies be transferred to one of the Companies (as mutually agreed to by the
      parties) for no further consideration.

     

    

    
      29

      
        


    

    7.7         Publicity.  None of the Purchaser, the Seller or any Company (or their respective Affiliates) shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the
      transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the Seller and the Purchaser; provided, however, that any public disclosures which may be required by Law to be made by the Seller, the Parent, the
      Purchaser or their respective Affiliates (including with respect to any publicly traded entity) may be made without the consent of any Person (but, to the extent feasible, the Seller, the Parent and the Purchaser shall be afforded an opportunity to
      review the proposed public disclosure and provide input in advance of such disclosure).

     

    7.8          Tax Matters.

     

    (a)        The Seller shall have the authority to prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file (or cause to be filed) all Tax Returns
      relating to the income or operations of the Companies that are to be reported or otherwise included on the Tax Returns of the Seller or its Affiliates (collectively, the “DRE Tax Returns”).  After the Closing,
      the Purchaser shall have the obligation and authority to prepare (or cause to be prepared) and file (or cause to be filed) when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all Tax Returns (other than DRE Tax Returns) required to be
      filed by or with respect to the assets, properties and operations of the Companies for any taxable year or other taxable period (collectively, the “Purchaser Tax Returns”).  Any Purchaser Tax Returns relating
      to any Pre-Closing Period shall be prepared in accordance with past practices of the Companies, and submitted (with copies of any relevant schedules, work papers and other documentation then available) to the Seller for the Seller’s approval not less
      than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the due date for the filing of each such Purchaser Tax Return, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  The Seller shall have the option of providing to the Purchaser, at any
      time at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date each such Purchaser Tax Return is due to be filed (taking into account any valid extensions), written instructions as to how the Seller wants any, or all, of the items that relate to a
      Pre-Closing Period for which it may be liable to be reflected on such Purchaser Tax Return.  The Purchaser shall, in preparing such Purchaser Tax Return, cause the items for which the Seller is liable hereunder to be reflected in accordance with the
      Seller’s instructions, unless such position is inconsistent with past practices of the Companies (after the Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date) or a different position is required by applicable Law.  The Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller
      copies of each such Purchaser Tax Return, along with a statement (a “Tax Statement”) showing the pre-Closing portion of any Tax Liability required to be paid with such Tax Return (computed in accordance with Section



        7.8(c)), at least twenty (20) calendar days prior to the due date for filing such Purchaser Tax Return, and shall permit the Seller to review and comment on such Purchaser Tax Return and Tax Statement prior to filing.

     

    (b)        Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date for the payment of Taxes on any Purchaser Tax Return, the Seller shall be responsible
      for and shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of cash Taxes shown as due and payable by the Seller on the Purchaser Tax Return, except to the extent such Taxes have been included as a liability in Net Working Capital Items.

     

    (c)        All Taxes and Tax Liabilities with respect to the income, property or operations of the Companies that relate to the Straddle Period shall be
      apportioned between the Seller and the Purchaser as follows: (i) in the case of Taxes other than income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, on a per-diem basis; and (ii) in the case of income, sales and use and withholding Taxes, as determined from
      the books and records of the relevant Company as though the taxable year of the relevant Company terminated at the Effective Time on the Closing Date.

     

    

    
      30

      
        


    

    (d)        Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if an audit or other proceeding is commenced, and an adjustment is proposed or any other claim is
      made by any Taxing Authority with respect to a Tax Liability of any Company relating to a Pre-Closing Period for which the Seller is liable under this agreement (a “Tax Claim”), the Purchaser shall promptly
      notify the Seller of such audit or other proceeding, proposed adjustment or claim.  The Seller shall, at its expense, handle, defend, conduct and control any such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the Seller shall consult
      periodically with the Purchaser as to strategic and tactical issues for pursuing or defending any Tax Claim.  The Seller shall not have the right to compromise or settle any such Tax Claim which could result in a materially increased Tax Liability or
      a materially decreased refund to the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

     

    (e)       At the Seller’s reasonable request and expense, the Companies shall apply for any Tax refund available for any Pre-Closing Period.  Any refunds
      (and any interest received thereon) of any Taxes imposed on the Companies, and any amounts of overpayments of Taxes credited against Taxes that the Purchaser or the Companies otherwise would be or would have been required to pay (and any amount of
      Taxes that is included in the calculation of Net Working Capital Items for such taxable year, to the extent such amount was not paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority) for any Pre-Closing Period shall be for the account of the Seller, and the
      Purchaser shall pay over to the Seller any such amounts within fifteen (15) calendar days after the receipt or entitlement of such refund or credit or request to return amounts not paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority.  The Purchaser shall
      pay the Seller interest at the rate prescribed under Section 6621(a)(1) of the Code, compounded daily, on any amount not paid when due under this Section 7.8(e).  Any other refunds of any Taxes imposed on the Companies (and any interest
      received thereon) shall be the property of the Companies and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser.

     

    (f)        Following the Closing, the Purchaser and the Seller shall provide each other with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by either of them
      in connection with the preparation of any Tax Return, any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to Liability for Taxes of the Companies or with respect to the operations of the
      Companies.  The party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance.  The Purchaser shall preserve and cause to be preserved all information, returns, books,
      records and documents relating to any Liabilities for Taxes of the Companies with respect to a taxable period until the later of sixty (60) calendar days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitations and extensions thereof or the
      conclusion of all litigation with respect to Taxes for such period.

     

    7.9          Information Regarding the Companies and the Business.  From the date of this Agreement and for a period continuing until ninety (90) calendar days following the Closing Date, the
      Seller will continue to permit the Purchaser and its designees access to the virtual data room in which the Seller has placed documents and information regarding the Companies and the Business.

     

    7.10        Employment Matters.

     

    (a)        The Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser (which, for purposes of this Section 7.10 shall include the Companies) may offer employment
      with the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser to any Business Employee on terms determined solely by Purchaser; provided, however, that all Business Employees will be offered employment by Purchaser except to the extent expressly recited to the
      contrary on Schedule 4.14(a) (it being agreed that, without Seller’s further consent in its sole discretion, Purchaser shall not be entitled, including, without limitation, after Closing, to hire any Business Employee identified on Schedule



        4.14(a) as not being offered employment by Purchaser).  Each Business Employee who accepts any such offer from Purchaser, as of the Closing Date, will become an employee of the Purchaser or Affiliate of the Purchaser (each, a “Hired Employee”).  As of the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall cause all Business Employees to receive all amounts, benefits, and other payments due to such Business Employee as of such date and assuming
      termination of employment on such date.

     

    
      31

      
        


    

    (b)         With respect to all Hired Employees, the Purchaser and the Seller agree to equally bear the cost of any earned or accrued but unused vacation and
      sick benefits calculated as of the Closing Date (with the Purchase Price to be adjusted to reflect the same). Following the Closing Date, the Hired Employees shall be subject to the vacation and other paid time off policies of the Purchaser.

     

    (c)        Effective as of the Closing Date, the Hired Employees shall cease to be eligible to participate in the benefit
        plans of the Seller and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Company Benefit Plans”).  The Purchaser shall be responsible for the expenses covered under the terms of the Purchaser plan or plans providing
      all medical, prescription drug, vision, dental benefits and other benefit plans provided by the Purchaser or its Affiliates (collectively, the “Purchaser Benefit Plans”) incurred on or after the Closing Date by
      a Hired Employee and/or his or her covered dependents who are enrolled in the Purchaser Benefit Plans.  Seller and its Affiliates shall be responsible only for expenses under the Company Benefit Plans covered under the terms of the applicable Company
      Benefit Plan incurred or arising prior to the Closing Date by a Hired Employee and/or his or her covered dependents.  The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to:  (i) cause all pre-existing conditions (or actively at work or similar)
      limitations, eligibility waiting periods, evidence of insurability requirements, and other conditions under any Purchaser Benefit Plan offered to the Hired Employees to be waived with respect to each Hired Employee and his or her respective eligible,
      covered dependents to the extent that such limitation, waiting periods, requirements or other conditions were satisfied or did not apply under the comparable Company Benefit Plan in effect prior to the Closing; and (ii) recognize or credit each Hired
      Employee for all deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums paid by such Hired Employees and their respective covered dependents under any Company Benefit Plan to the extent that such deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums did
      not apply or were satisfied under the comparable Company Benefit Plan in effect prior to Closing.

     

    (d)        As soon as administratively practicable after the Closing Date (and in accordance with applicable Law), the
        Purchaser shall cause any Purchaser Benefit Plan that is intended to be a qualified defined contribution plan or such plan of an Affiliate of the Purchaser (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”) to accept an eligible
        rollover distribution (within the meaning of Section 402(c)(4)of the Code) of each Hired Employee’s account balance under the Seller’s or its Affiliates’ 401(k) Plan or any other Company Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of
        the Code, to the extent such rollover is timely elected by such Hired Employee.  Such rollovers shall be in cash, provided that the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the adoption of any
        necessary plan amendments, to provide for the rollover of plan loans for any such Hired Employee who chooses a direct rollover of his or her account balance into the Purchaser 401(k) Plan.  The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
        permit any outstanding 401(k) loans under the Company Benefit Plans of any Hired Employee to be transferred to the Purchaser 401(k) Plan rather than requiring such loans to be repaid as a result of the change in employment.

     

    (e)         After the Closing, the Purchaser shall be responsible for offering or providing coverage under COBRA with
        respect to Hired Employees who first incur a COBRA-qualifying event after the Closing Date.

     

    (f)         If annual bonuses for the portion of calendar year 2021 occurring prior to the Closing Date (if any, it being understood that Seller retains
      discretion under the Company Benefit Plans whether to award any bonuses in any amounts to the Business Employees) for the Hired Employees under Company Benefit Plans have not been paid prior to the Closing Date
        (the “2021 Pre-Closing Bonuses”), the Seller shall, or shall cause one of their Affiliates to, pay 2021 Pre-Closing Bonuses to the Hired
      Employees in the amount each Hired Employee would have received under the Company Benefit Plans for the portion of calendar year 2021 elapsed prior to the Closing Date, subject to all applicable terms and conditions thereunder.  All 2021 Pre-Closing
      Bonuses shall be Excluded Liabilities.

     

    
      32

      
        


    

    (g)       The provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of the Purchaser, the Companies and the Seller only, and no employee of the Companies or any
      of their Affiliates or any other Person shall have any rights hereunder.  In furtherance of the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.10 will:  (i) confer upon any Business Employee or any Governmental Body or other third party any rights,
      claims, benefits, causes of actions or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period or terms of employment, of any nature whatsoever; (ii) be interpreted to prevent or restrict the Purchaser and its Affiliates
      from terminating the employment of any Hired Employee; or (iii) be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or other employee benefit plan or arrangement.  For the avoidance of doubt, any and all obligations to
      Business Employees who do not become Hired Employees (whether with respect to the period prior to or after the Closing) shall remain the sole and exclusive Liability of the Seller as Excluded Liabilities.

     

    7.11        Indemnification.

     

    (a)      For a period of not less than four (4) years from and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Organizational



      Documents of each Company to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of current or former directors, managers and officers of any Company (each,
        a “Covered Party”) than are set forth in their respective Organizational Documents as of the date
        hereof.  Any indemnification agreements with Covered Parties in existence on the date of this Agreement shall remain effective, without any further action, and shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their
        terms.

     

    (b)        In the event the Purchaser or any Company (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not
        be the continuing entity after such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, a provision shall be made so that such continuing entity or transferee
        of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.11.

     

    7.12       Royalties Excluded.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller retains the sole and exclusive right, both prior
      to and after Closing, to collect and retain all Royalties Excluded (with no impact on the Purchase Price); provided, however, if Purchaser desires Seller to cease collection efforts (either directly or through any other Person) regarding any one or
      more of the Royalties Excluded, Purchaser shall have the right within one (1) year after the Closing Date to give irrevocable written notice to Seller that Purchaser will purchase from the Seller at par (without paying any accrued interest or late
      fees) the subject Royalties Excluded, with payment required from Purchaser to Seller within ten (10) days of such notice (unless the obligated party makes payment to Seller within such ten (10) day period in an amount equal to or greater than the
      amount Purchaser would have paid, in which case the sale to Purchaser is deemed cancelled).  Purchaser agrees that, at Seller’s request and expense, Purchaser will cooperate with Seller (or its designee) after Closing in any efforts to collect the
      Royalties Excluded.  Purchaser further agrees that, should it (or any of its Affiliates) ever at any time after Closing receive any collections with respect to any Royalties Excluded, it is deemed to be receiving such amounts in trust for the Seller
      and will promptly turn over the same to the Seller (or its designee).

     

    7.13        Environmental Matters Regarding St. Paul Parcel.

     

    
      33

      
        


    

    (a)         Purchaser engaged Terracon Consultants, Inc. (“Terracon”) to complete Phase I Environmental Site
      Assessments for the parcels of Owned Real Property commonly known as 6370 South Parker Road Aurora, Colorado (the “Aurora Parcel”) and as 2239 Ford Parkway, St. Paul, Minnesota (the “St. Paul Parcel”), as Project #25217263 for Aurora, Colorado (the “Aurora Phase I”) and as Project #MP217310 for St. Paul, Minnesota (the “St. Paul Phase I”
      and collectively, the “Phase I’s”).  Upon determining that the St. Paul Phase I identified the existence of one or more recognized environmental conditions (“RECs”),
      Purchaser engaged Terracon to prepare a Phase II Environmental Site Assessment of the St. Paul Parcel(the “Phase II” and, together with the St. Paul Phase I, the “Subject
        Assessments”), subject to Seller’s agreement herein to permit access to the St. Paul Parcel to conduct the sampling contemplated in the Subject Assessments (to the extent anticipated herein to be performed prior to Closing).  The Phase I’s
      and the St. Paul Phase II will be addressed by Terracon to both Purchaser and Seller for their mutual use and reliance.

     

    (b)         Pursuant to the requirements of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (the “MPCA”),



        for the St. Paul Parcel to complete the MPCA’s Best Management Practices in a manner sufficient to obtain the appropriate liability assurances, Purchaser may be required to perform certain tests for Hazardous Materials, applications and related
        activities, which may include, without limitation, two rounds of testing, one between April 1 and October 30 (the “Cooling Season Test”) and, if the results of the Cooling Season Test indicate further testing
        is required under the MPCA, a second round between November 1 and March 31st (the “Heating Season Test”) to determine the presence of soil vapor impacts.  The Purchaser will conduct the Cooling Season Test
        prior to the Closing Date but, if a Heating Season Test is required, given the currently anticipated Closing Date, the Heating Season Test cannot be completed until after the Closing Date.  As such, the parties agree to the following:

     

    (i)       Prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser will conduct the Cooling Season Test in a manner consistent with the
        Phase II.  At the Closing, Seller will credit Purchaser against the Purchase Price (the “Environmental Credit”) with the actual out-of-pocket cost of Terracon (and any applicable testing laboratories) for the
        conduct of the Cooling Season Test, not to exceed Seventeen Thousand Dollars ($17,000) in the aggregate.  If the results of the Cooling Season Test show no release of Hazardous Materials of the type suspected pursuant to the Phase II on the St.
        Paul Parcel above the Remediation Threshold (as defined below), Seller shall have no further obligations under this Section 7.13.  If the results of the Cooling Season Test show a release of Hazardous Materials of the type suspected
        pursuant to the Phase II on the St. Paul Parcel above the Remediation Threshold, then Purchaser may elect to enroll the St. Paul Parcel in the MPCA Voluntary Brownfield Program (the “Program”) and to request
        that the MPCA issue a No Association Determination (the “NAD”) and/or other applicable liability assurance letters (“MPCA Assurances”) in favor of Purchaser with
        respect to the groundwater, soil and soil vapor impacts identified in the Phase II (and Seller shall pay the costs of the environmental consultant and any applicable testing laboratory for such sampling and submissions under the Program up to the
        Seller Cap (as defined below)).  For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall also have the right, at its own expense, to avail itself of the Program and seek a NAD and other MPCA Assurances in its favor (and all work performed by any environmental
        consultant and any applicable testing laboratories shall be addressed jointly to Seller and Purchaser for their mutual use and reliance).  If it is necessary to obtain the MPCA Assurances, Purchaser shall cause Terracon to perform the Heating
        Season Testing as soon after November 1, 2021 as is reasonably possible.  The Phase II Scope of Services is attached hereto as Schedule 7.13.  If the results of the Cooling Season Test or the Heating Season Test indicate that further Phase
        II testing is required to determine the nature or scope of any Hazardous Material(s) impacts, Seller shall pay the costs of such additional testing up to the Seller Cap.  Furthermore, if the MPCA requires additional Phase II testing or imposes
        other requirements, fees or costs in order for Purchaser to obtain any of the MPCA Assurances, the costs of such additional testing or requirements shall be payable by the Seller up to the Seller Cap.

     

    
      34

      
        


    

    (ii)        If the results of either of the Cooling Season Test or the Heating Season Test indicate that the levels of
        soil vapor impacts exceed 33 times the MPCA’s Commercial Intrusion Screening Values (“ISVs”) or any groundwater impact or soils impacts cause the MPCA to require remediation of the St. Paul Parcel
        (collectively, the “Remediation Threshold”), then Seller agrees to pay (up to the Seller Cap) for the reasonable and documented costs to remediate (which remediation may include, without limitation,
        installation of a vapor mitigation system in the current or any new improvements upon the St. Paul Parcel or any soils or groundwater remediation of contaminants of the type suspected in the Phase II, collectively “Remediation”)



        the St. Paul Parcel and obtain any or all of the MPCA Assurances; provided, however, that Seller shall not be responsible for any amounts incurred more than two (2) years after the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall obtain three (3) quotes for the cost
        to complete any Remediation from qualified environmental consultants and the cost for which Seller shall be responsible (up to the Seller Cap) shall be the lowest of the quotes.

     

    (iii)       As used herein, the “Seller Cap” means Seventy-five Thousand Dollars
        ($75,000) in the aggregate for any and all costs to be paid or credited by Seller under this Section 7.13.  Any payment hereunder due from Seller after the Closing Date will be paid by Seller within ten (10) Business Days after being
        presented with invoices for completed work.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, each of Seller and Purchaser shall bear its own counsel fees and any other costs associated with the environmental testing and remediation of the St. Paul Parcel
        other than those fees of Terracon or its testing laboratories and any fees charged under the Program which Seller has agreed to pay hereunder up to the Seller Cap).

     

    (c)        Purchaser and Seller expressly acknowledge and agree that the amount of the Seller Cap was negotiated freely
        in order to induce both parties to proceed to execution of this Agreement and, subsequently, Closing.  As such, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller shall have no further liability for any environmental investigation or remediation for the St. Paul
        Parcel in excess of the Seller Cap (and then only for the items contemplated in this Section 7.13 to be reimbursed by Seller thereunder), and Seller shall have no liability for any environmental investigation or remediation for the Aurora
        Parcel.

        warranties set forth in Article IV and Article V shall be true and correct in all respects (without giving effect to any limitations as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” set forth therein) as of the Closing (except to
        the extent such representations and warranties relate to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete on and as of such earlier date)), except where the failure of such representations and
        warranties covered under this clause (ii) to be so true, complete and correct (giving effect to any applicable exceptions set forth in the disclosure schedules attached hereto, but without giving effect to any limitations as to “materiality” or
        “Material Adverse Effect” set forth therein) has not had, and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;

     

    (b)         the Companies and the Seller shall have performed and complied in all material respects (except for the
        obligations set forth in Section 3.4(a) for which the Companies and the Seller shall have performed and complied in all respects) their respective obligations and covenants required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by them
        on or prior to the Closing Date;

     

    (c)         since the Reorganization Plan Confirmation Date, there shall not have occurred any event, change or

      the case may be, if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement.

     

    ARTICLE IX

    TRANSITION PLANNING; CONFIDENTIALITY

     

    9.1        Information for Transition Planning.  Upon reasonable advance notice and subject to applicable Law, each of the Seller and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of their
      respective relevant Affiliates to, afford the representatives of the other party reasonable access during normal business hours to its properties, books, records, Contracts, Permits, legal counsel, financial advisors, accountants, consultants and
      personnel, and shall furnish, and shall cause to be furnished, as promptly as practicable to the other party, all other information as the other party may reasonably request for purposes of integration, planning and facilitating the transfer of the
      ownership of the Companies and Business; provided, however, that the foregoing access to information related to the Parent and its Subsidiaries (other than the Companies) shall be strictly limited to the books, records, personnel,
      properties and such other permitted access as set forth above, relating solely to the Business; and, provided, further, that each party may restrict the foregoing access to those Persons who have entered into or are bound by a
      confidentiality agreement with it and to the extent required by applicable Law or Contract to which the Purchaser or the Seller, or their respective Affiliates is a party, as applicable (provided that such party uses reasonable efforts to obtain
      consent from the relevant counterparties and, failing that, redacts sensitive information).  All such access shall be subject to reasonable restrictions imposed from time to time with respect to the provision of privileged communications or any
      applicable confidentiality agreement with any Person.  In conducting any inspection at any properties of the Purchaser or the Seller and their respective Affiliates, the other party and its representatives shall not unreasonably interfere with the
      business conducted at such property.

     

    
      36

      
        


    

    9.2        Business Records.  Substantially all Business Records, to the extent material, will be made available to Purchaser at Closing (all Business Records accessible to Purchaser in the
      dataroom or located at any Company Real Property are deemed to be delivered to Purchaser at Closing).  As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after Closing, the Seller shall use its
      commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Purchaser all remaining Business Records then in the possession of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

     

    9.3         Seller Confidentiality.  The Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective representatives not to, directly or indirectly, for a period of the longer of
      (a) three (3) years after the Closing Date, or (b) until such information no longer constitutes a trade secret under applicable Law, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, disclose to any Person (other than each other and their respective
      Affiliates) any confidential information concerning the Business or the business of the Purchaser and its Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not (i) apply to any information that (A) is or becomes
      generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 9.3), (B) is or becomes generally available to the Seller from a source other than Purchaser or its Affiliates (provided that
      such source is not known by the Seller to be bound by a duty of confidentiality with the Purchaser or its Affiliates), or (C) the Seller can establish was independently developed by the Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than by or in connection
      with the Business prior to the Closing), without use of any confidential information concerning the Business, or the business of the Purchaser and its Affiliates; or (ii) prohibit any disclosure (A) required by Law or the rules and regulations of any
      applicable national securities exchange (so long as, to the extent legally permissible, the Seller provides the Purchaser with reasonable prior notice of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to review and discuss with the Seller such
      disclosure), or (B) necessary to be made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or any related document.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement
      shall limit or prohibit the Parent, the Seller and their respective Affiliates from conducting any restaurant, food or beverage related business (whether or not in competition to the operations of the Purchaser and its Affiliates, including the
      Business acquired by the Purchaser hereunder); provided, however, that after the Closing, the Parent, the Seller and their respective Affiliates shall not utilize the Bakers Square Brand or the Village Inn Brand.

     

    9.4         Purchaser Confidentiality.  The Purchaser shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and their respective representatives not to, directly or indirectly, for a period of the longer
      of (a) three (3) years after the Closing Date, or (b) until such information no longer constitutes a trade secret under applicable Law, without the prior written consent of the Seller, disclose to any Person (other than each other and their
      respective Affiliates) any confidential information with respect to the business of the Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Business and the Companies); provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not (i) apply to any
      information that (A) is or becomes generally available to, or known by, the public (other than as a result of disclosure in violation of this Section 9.4 or any other confidentiality obligations owed to the Seller), (B) is or becomes
      generally available to the Purchaser from a source other than the Seller or its Affiliates (provided that such source is not known by the Purchaser to be bound by a duty of confidentiality with the Seller or its Affiliates), or (C) the Purchaser can
      establish was independently developed by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates without use of any confidential information with respect to the business of the Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Business and the Companies); or (ii) prohibit any
      disclosure (A) required by Law or the rules and regulations of any applicable national securities exchange (so long as, to the extent legally permissible, the Purchaser provides the Seller with reasonable prior notice of such disclosure and a
      reasonable opportunity to review such disclosure), or (B) necessary to be made in connection with the enforcement of any right or remedy relating to this Agreement or any related document.

     

    9.5        Certain Permitted Disclosures.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party
      (or its respective Affiliates) may disclose confidential information to any financial institution providing credit to such party or any of its Affiliates or to any Governmental Body or any rating agency with jurisdiction over such party or any of its
      Affiliates.

    ARTICLE X

    INDEMNIFICATION

     

    10.1      Survival.  Any obligation of a party to indemnify any other party (A) under Sections 10.2(a)(i) or 10.2(b)(i), respectively, in respect of any breach of any
      representation or warranty of the Parent, the Seller or the Target Companies set forth in Article IV, any representation or warranty of the Parent or the Seller set forth in Article V, or any representation or warranty of the
      Purchaser set forth in Article VI, or (B) under Sections 10.2(a)(ii) or 10.2(b)(ii), respectively, in respect of any breach of any covenant or agreement required by its terms to be performed or complied with prior to the
      Closing, shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date.  In addition, any obligation of the Seller to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Sections 10.2(a)(iii) through 10.2(a)(vi)
      shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.  All of the covenants contained in this Agreement that by their nature are required to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing until fully
      performed or fulfilled, unless and to the extent only that non-compliance with such covenants or agreements is waived in writing by the party entitled to such performance. Notwithstanding the preceding two sentences, any breach or inaccuracy of any
      covenant, agreement, representation or warranty in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement, and the obligation of a party to indemnify any other party in respect thereof, shall survive the time at which it would otherwise
      terminate pursuant to the preceding two sentences, if written notice in accordance with the requirements set forth in Section 10.3 of the breach or inaccuracy thereof giving rise to such right of indemnity shall have been given to the party
      against whom such indemnity may be sought prior to such time. The parties acknowledge and agree that with respect to any claim that any party may have against any other party which is permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the survival
      periods set forth and agreed to in this Section 10.1 shall govern when any such claim may be brought.

     

    10.2        Indemnification.

     

    (a)        Subject to the provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing, the Parent and the Seller
        shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify the Purchaser and its Affiliates (which shall include the Companies), directors, officers, employees, successors, permitted assigns, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) against and agree to hold each of them harmless from any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Indemnitee arising out of or relating to:

     

    (i)          any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty in Articles IV or V;

     

    (ii)         any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Parent, the Seller (or, prior to the
        Closing, the Companies) pursuant to this Agreement;

     

    (iii)        any and all Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) of the Companies for all Pre-Closing Periods;

     

    (iv)       any and all payments due and owing by the Companies pursuant to any and all Material Contracts (and any
        Immaterial Contracts listed on Schedule 4.13(a)) with respect to the period prior to the Closing (which pre-Closing liabilities, for the avoidance of doubt, are agreed to be Excluded Liabilities);

     

    (v)        any and all Liabilities for payments due to Business Employees for salary, wages, tips or bonuses (or funding
        required for their benefits) with respect to the period prior to the Closing Date, except for any obligation (A) expressly assumed by the Purchaser under this Agreement or (B) resulting from any breach by Purchaser of this Agreement;

     

    
      38

      
        


    

    (vi)        any and all Liabilities associated with any Legal Proceedings against the Companies or their Assets pending
        (or known by the Seller to be threatened in writing) prior to the Closing Date; and

     

    (vii)       any and all Excluded Liabilities;

     

    provided, however, that (A) the Parent and the Seller shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections 10.2(a)(i) or 10.2(a)(ii) unless and
      until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by Purchaser Indemnitees which may be recovered under such subsections in the aggregate exceeds $135,000 (the “Deductible”), after which only the amount of such
      Losses incurred which are in excess of the Deductible shall be recoverable hereunder, and (B) in no event shall the Parent’s and the Seller’s aggregate Liability arising out of or relating to any claim for indemnification pursuant to Sections
        10.2(a)(i) and (ii) exceed $1,350,000 (the “Liability Cap”).

     

    (b)       Subject to the provisions of this Article X, from and after the Closing, the Purchaser and the
        Companies shall indemnify the Parent and the Seller and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, successors, permitted assigns, agents and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”)



        against and agree to hold each of them harmless from any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnitee arising out of or relating to

     

    (i)          any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty set forth in Article VI; and

     

    (ii)         any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by the Purchaser (or, after the Closing,
        the Companies) pursuant to this Agreement;

     

    provided, however, that (A) the Purchaser shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by Seller
      Indemnitees which may be recovered from Purchaser exceeds the Deductible, after which only the amount  of such Losses incurred which are in excess of the Deductible shall be recoverable hereunder, and (B) in no event shall Purchaser’s aggregate
      Liability arising out of or relating to Section 10.2(b) exceed the Liability Cap.

     

    (c)        For purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred and for computing the dollar
        amount of any claim for indemnification resulting from a breach of any representation or warranty herein, all materiality, material adverse effect and similar qualifications shall be disregarded.

     

    10.3        Procedures.  Claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

     

    (a)       Any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee claiming indemnification under this Agreement (each, an “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any claim asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of any matter that is subject to
        indemnification hereunder shall promptly notify in writing (such notice, a “Claim Notice”) the Parent and the Seller, on the one hand. or the Purchaser, on the other hand, (the “Indemnifying Party” or “Indemnifying Parties”) of the Third Party Claim within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim,
        which Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, including the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement and the amount of the Losses arising or in good faith
        estimated to arise therefrom (if available); provided, however, that, subject to Section 10.1, failure to timely provide such Claim Notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder,
        except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay or omission.

     

    
      39

      
        


    

    (b)        The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim at any
        time and, subject to the limitations contained in this Section 10.3(b), assume and control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume and control the defense of
        the Third Party Claim at any time, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party in all appropriate legal, arbitration or other proceedings (the “Proceedings”), to a final conclusion or settlement at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 10.3(b). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and
        Proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume or control such defense and Proceedings if such Third Party Claim seeks equitable or
        other non-monetary relief (including any sanction or restriction upon the conduct or operation of any business of the Indemnified Party) or if the Third Party Claim alleges conduct that would constitute criminal activity, or if the resolution of
        such Third Party Claim in a manner adverse to the Indemnified Party could result in Losses to the Indemnified Party in excess of the amount claimed or expected to be received from the Indemnifying Party; and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not
        enter into any settlement agreement without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, such consent shall not be required if (A) the
        settlement agreement contains a complete and unconditional general release by the third party asserting the claim to all Indemnified Parties affected by the claim, and (B) the settlement agreement does not contain any admission by, or sanction or
        restriction upon the conduct or operation of any business by, the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, including any injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but
        not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 10.3(b), and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation unless
        (aa) the employment of separate legal counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, (bb) there exists a material conflict of interest, or (cc) the Indemnifying Party fails to pursue the defense of such Third Party
        Claim actively and diligently, in the case of clause (bb) or this clause (cc), whereupon the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain the defense of such Third Party Claim.

     

    (c)        If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has elected to
        defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 10.3(b) within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of any Claim Notice or is not otherwise entitled to defend such Third Party Claim, then, subject to Section 10.3(b), the
        Indemnified Party shall defend and be reimbursed for its reasonable cost and expense (but only if the Indemnified Party is actually entitled to indemnification hereunder) in regard to the Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnified
        Party, in all appropriate Proceedings, which Proceedings shall be prosecuted diligently by the Indemnified Party. In such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall defend any such Third Party Claim in good faith and have full control of such
        defense and Proceedings; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party’s consent
        (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 10.3(c), and the
        Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation

     

    (d)        If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the
        Indemnifying Party, to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including providing access to documents, records and information. In
        addition, the Indemnified Party will make its personnel available at no cost to the Indemnifying Party for conferences, discovery, Proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may be reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying
        Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party also agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the making of any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim
        or any cross-complaint against any Person and executing powers of attorney to the extent necessary unless doing so would materially impair the conduct of the business conducted by the Indemnified Party.

     

      

    
      40

      
        


    

     (e)        A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by notice to
        the Indemnifying Party, which notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement and the amount of the Losses arising or in good faith estimated
        to arise therefrom (to the extent reasonably estimable). Subject to Section 10.1, failure to timely provide such notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party’s indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying
        Party is materially prejudiced by such delay or omission.

     

    10.4        Calculation of Losses.

     

    (a)        No Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification to the extent a Liability or
        reserve relating to the matter giving rise to such Losses has been included in the final determination of the Final Closing Amounts.

     

    (b)        Each Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, take reasonably prudent steps
        consistent with customary business practices to mitigate any Losses arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby after becoming actually aware of the incurrence of such Losses,

     

    (c)        The amount of any Loss for which an Indemnified Party claims indemnification under this Agreement: (i) shall
        be reduced by any insurance proceeds actually received from third-party insurers with respect to such Loss; (ii) shall be reduced by any reduction in Taxes actually paid (or any increase in any Tax refund actually received) by the Indemnified Party
        as a result of the incurrence or payment of such Loss in the taxable year of the incurrence or payment of such Loss, or in any prior taxable year; and (iii) shall be reduced by indemnification or reimbursement payments actually received from
        third-parties with respect to such Loss, net, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, of any reasonable costs associated with the recovery of such amounts. In the event any Indemnified Party actually recovers any insurance proceeds,
        indemnity payments or any third-party recoveries in respect of any Losses, in each case at any time subsequent to any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article X, such Indemnified Party shall thereafter promptly reimburse the
        Indemnifying Party for any indemnity payment made up to the amount actually received by the Indemnified Party (net of any costs, fees or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in collecting such amount).

     

    (d)        Except with respect to those actually awarded and paid on account of a Third Party Claim, and identified as
        such in connection with such award, no party shall be liable for punitive, exemplary, speculative or remote damages, or any damages based on any multiple of earnings or revenue or loss of profits, whether based on contract, tort, strict liability,
        other Law or otherwise and whether or not arising from any other party’s sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault.

     

    10.5        Payment of Losses.  In the event any Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification hereunder, the applicable
      Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties shall pay or cause to be paid to the Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable, an amount in immediately available United States funds (by wire transfer in accordance with written instructions
      provided by the Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, as applicable) equal to the indemnifiable Losses, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.2. The date of final determination of Losses shall be the date on which such
      Losses are agreed by the applicable Indemnifying Party or Indemnifying Parties, or the date of a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other arbitrator or arbitral body.

     

    
      41

      
        


    

    10.6      Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  Any payment made pursuant to the indemnification obligations arising under this Article X
      shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the extent allowable under applicable Law, including for the purposes of Taxes.

     

    10.7        Exclusive Remedy.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except (i) with respect to the matters covered by Section

        2.3 (Purchase Price Adjustment), (ii) in the case where a party seeks to obtain specific performance pursuant to Section 11.5, or (iii) for claims of Fraud, the parties hereby agree that, following the Closing, the sole and exclusive
      remedy of a party for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be the applicable indemnification rights set forth in this Article X.

     

    ARTICLE XI

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    11.1       Representation and Warranty Insurance.  If the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (in their sole discretion) procures a representation and warranty insurance policy (or other
      similar policy) (a “R&W Policy”), then (a) such R&W Policy shall be at the Purchaser’s sole expense, and (b) the Purchaser shall cause such R&W Policy to expressly include a waiver by the insurer,
      other than with respect to Fraud, of any and all subrogation rights against the Parent, the Seller and their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees, and the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each insured party under any
      such R&W Policy not to, waive, amend, modify or otherwise revise such subrogation provision, or allow such provision to be waived, amended, modified or otherwise revised, without the prior written consent of the Seller.  The Parent and the Seller
      shall reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser (at the Purchaser’s expense) with respect to the Purchaser’s procurement of any such R&W Policy. The R&W Policy shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery or satisfaction of any Losses
      (other than with respect to Fraud), and none of the Seller, the Parent or any of their Affiliates shall have any obligation to directly satisfy any claim by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

     

    11.2       Payment of Sales, Use, Transfer or Similar Taxes.  All sales, use, transfer, intangible, recordation, documentary stamp or similar Taxes or charges, of any nature whatsoever,
      applicable to or resulting from, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne equally by the Purchaser and the Seller; provided, however, that they are reflected in the Closing Estimates or the Final Closing Amounts (otherwise the
      Purchaser shall have no liability therefor).  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.8, the Seller shall, at its own expense, prepare and timely file all required Tax Returns relating to such transfer Taxes.

     

    11.3       Expenses.  Unless otherwise stated herein, the Parent, the Seller and the Purchaser shall bear their own expenses (and the Seller shall bear the expenses of the Companies) incurred
      in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

     

    11.4        Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

     

    (a)        EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS LOCATED IN THE CITY
      OF CHICAGO OR, IF SUCH COURTS SHALL NOT HAVE PROPER JURISDICTION, OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT SITTING IN CHICAGO (THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS), AND ANY APPELLATE COURT THEREOF, IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING
      ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN SUCH COURTS (AND WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM
      NON CONVENIENS OR ANY OTHER OBJECTION TO VENUE THEREIN OR JURISDICTION THEREOF); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH CONSENT TO JURISDICTION IS SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 11.4 AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A
      GENERAL SUBMISSION TO THE JURISDICTION OF SAID COURTS OR IN THE STATE OF ILLINOIS OTHER THAN FOR SUCH PURPOSE.

     

    
      42

      
        


    

    (b)        Any and all process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement by complying with the provisions of
      Section 11.8.  Such service of process shall have the same effect as if the party being served were a resident in the State of Illinois and had been lawfully served with such process in such jurisdiction.  The parties hereby waive all claims
      of error by reason of such service.  Nothing herein shall affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the other in any other jurisdiction to enforce
      judgments or rulings of the aforementioned courts.

     

    (c)        EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT
      TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED,
      EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS
      CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.4.

     

    11.5        Specific Performance.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
      specific terms or were otherwise breached.  Accordingly, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any
      other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

     

    11.6       Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.  This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto), the Company Documents, the Seller Documents, the Parent Documents and the
      Purchaser Documents represent the entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written
      instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Parent, the Seller, the Companies and the Purchaser.  No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to
      constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.  The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as
      a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.  No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
      shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

     

    11.7        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of
      law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

      the manner herein set forth.

     

    11.9        Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of
      this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term
      or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that
      the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

     

    11.10      Binding Effect; Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  No assignment of
      this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by the Seller or the Purchaser, directly or indirectly (by operation of law or otherwise), without the prior written consent of the Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable.  Upon any
      such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to the assignor shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

    11.12      Other Definitional and Interpretive Matters.

     

    (a)         Unless otherwise expressly provided, for purposes of this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation shall apply:

     

    (i)         Exhibits/Schedules.  A reference to a “Schedule” or “Exhibit” means the referenced Schedule or
        Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise expressly stated.  All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.  Any capitalized terms used
        in any Schedule or Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement.  Any matter set forth on any of the Schedules hereto shall be deemed set forth in all other Schedules to the extent there is a specific
        cross-reference or to the extent the relevance of such matter to another Schedule is readily apparent from the face of the disclosure notwithstanding the absence of a cross-reference contained therein.  The information contained in this Agreement,
        the Schedules and Exhibits 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 to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of
        applicable Law or breach of contract).

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    
      45

      
        


    

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

     

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

     

    (vii)      Accounting Terms.  Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all accounting terms used in this Agreement will be interpreted and all
      accounting determinations hereunder will be made in accordance with GAAP.

     

    (b)        The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
      interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

     

    11.13      Legal Representation.

     

    (a)        Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that (i) each of the Parent, the Seller and the Companies have
        retained Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP (“NMRS”) to act as its counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein as well as other past and ongoing matters; (ii)
        NMRS has not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein; and (iii) no Person other than the Parent, the Seller and the Companies has the status of a NMRS client for conflict of
        interest or any other purpose as a result thereof.  The Purchaser (A) waives and will not assert, and will cause each of its Affiliates (including, after Closing, the Companies) to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest relating to NMRS’s
        representation after the Closing of the Parent, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates in any matter, whether involving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein (including any litigation, arbitration, mediation, dispute
        resolution procedure or other proceeding) or otherwise; and (B) consents to, and will cause each of its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Companies) to consent to, any such representation, even though in each case (aa) the interests of
        the Parent, the Seller and/or their respective Affiliates may be directly adverse to the Purchaser or the Companies (following the Closing), and/or (bb) NMRS may have represented the Companies in a substantially related matter.

     

    (b)          The Purchaser agrees that, after the Closing, neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including,
        after the Closing, the Companies) will have any right to access or control any of NMRS’s records relating to or affecting any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, which will be the property of (and be controlled by) the Parent and
        the Seller.  In addition, the Purchaser agrees that it would be impractical to remove all Attorney-Client Communications from the records (including e-mails and other electronic files) of the Companies.  Accordingly, the Purchaser will not, and

        attorney-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such Attorney-Client Communications.  Accordingly, the Purchaser will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates (including, after
        the Closing, the Companies) not to, (A) assert any attorney-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any Attorney-Client Communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a
        Person that is not the Parent, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates, or (B) take any action with the intent to cause any Attorney-Client Communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the
        attorney-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not the Parent, the Seller or any of their respective Affiliates.

      Parent in this Agreement (as qualified or modified by the Schedules) or contained in any ancillary document or in any certificate delivered in connection herewith or therewith or except in the case of Fraud, none of the Parent, the Seller or the
      Companies or any of their respective Affiliates has made, is making or will make, and the Purchaser and its Affiliates and their representatives have not relied, are not relying and will not rely on, any representation or warranty, express or
      implied, at law or in equity, with respect to (a) the Companies; (b) their respective businesses, assets, liabilities, operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise); (c) the transactions contemplated hereby; (d) the accuracy or
      completeness of any information regarding any of the forgoing, including any confidential information memorandum, management presentation, projections, budgets or any other information, document or material made available to the Purchaser or its
      Affiliates or any of their representatives in any virtual data room and online “data sites,” management presentations or in any other form; or (e) any other matter whatsoever.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Purchaser further
      acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any estimate, projection, forecast or other forward looking statement delivered by or on behalf of any Company to the Purchaser, its Affiliates and/or their representatives, (i) there are uncertainties
      inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and forward looking statements; (ii) the Purchaser is aware that actual results may differ materially; and (iii) no Person shall have any claim against the Parent, the Seller or
      any of their Affiliates or any other Person with respect to any such estimate, projection, forecast or forward looking statement, except in the case of Fraud.  Any evaluation or investigation by the Purchaser or its representatives shall not affect
      the representations and warranties made by the Companies, the Parent or the Seller in this Agreement (as qualified or modified by the Schedules) and any ancillary document and in any certificate delivered in connection herewith or therewith or the
      rights or remedies of the Purchaser for breaches of those representations and warranties.

     

    11.15     No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Other than Sections 7.11 and 11.13, which are intended to benefit and may also be enforced by the Covered Parties, NMRS, the
      Purchaser and their Affiliates, and the rights and protections provided under Article XI, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties any rights or remedies hereunder.
