Each of the Parties hereto will furnish to the other Parties such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other Parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and will provide the other Parties with copies of all filings made by such Party with any Governmental Entity or any other information supplied by such Party to any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (other than filings required under applicable Competition Laws).

			Section 6.6Tax Matters.
		

		
			(a)Transfer Taxes.  All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any real property transfer Tax and any similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by the Companies and the Seller Representative shall file, or cause to be filed, all necessary Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, the Company Holders and the Companies will, and will cause their Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Returns and other documentation.
		

		
			(b)Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.
		

		
			(i)The Seller Representative shall be responsible for preparation and filing of any Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Target Companies (or with respect to the assets or business of the Target Companies) for tax periods ending on or before the Closing (“Pre-Closing Returns”).  The Purchaser shall cooperate reasonably with the Seller Representative, to the extent reasonably necessary, in the preparation of such Pre-Closing Returns, including by making each Target Company’s books and records available for inspection by the Seller Representative, the Seller Representative’s accountants, auditors and attorneys upon reasonable advance notice.  The Equity Sellers, in accordance with their respective Indemnity Share, shall be responsible for the payment 
		
		
 


		

			-  34  -

		




 


		

			 

		




		of all income Taxes payable by or on behalf of the Target Companies with respect to the Pre-Closing Returns.  Taxes other than income Taxes for each Target Company for tax periods beginning prior to the Closing and which are unpaid as of the Closing are to be borne by the Equity Sellers (based on the express provisions of Section 6.6(b)(ii)) except to the extent taken into account in calculating Net Working Capital.

		
		
			(ii)The Purchaser shall be responsible for preparation and filing of all other Returns required to be filed after the Closing by or on behalf of the Target Companies (or with respect to the assets or business of the Target Companies) for tax periods ending after the Closing, and, subject to the provisions below relating to Straddle Returns, the Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all Taxes payable by or on behalf of the Target Companies with respect to such Returns.  Any such Returns that are for tax periods beginning before and ending after the Closing (“Straddle Returns”) shall be submitted to the Seller Representative for its review at least 30 days prior to the filing date of such Return (in the case of income Tax Returns) and at least 15 days prior to the filing date of such Return (in the case of Returns other than income Tax Returns) and shall not be filed without the prior approval of the Seller Representative which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  If the Seller Representative and the Purchaser cannot agree on the amount of Taxes owed by any Target Company or the treatment of an item shown on such Tax Return within fifteen (15) days, the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall refer the matter to the CPA Firm.  The Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall each bear 50% of the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm.  The determination of the CPA Firm as to the amount owing by any Target Company with respect to such Tax Returns shall be binding on both the Purchaser and the Equity Sellers for purposes of filing such Tax Returns.  Except to the extent taken into account in calculating Net Working Capital, the Seller Representative, on behalf of and for the account of the Equity Sellers (in accordance with their respective Indemnity Share), shall reimburse the Purchaser for that portion of any income Taxes payable by such Target Company with respect to Straddle Returns that relate to the period ending on the Closing Date.  For purposes of this Section 6.6(b), the portion of the Taxes payable by each Target Company with respect to a Straddle Return that relates to the period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined, in the case of Taxes based on income or receipts, based on an interim closing of the books of such Target Company, and in the case of all other Taxes, by prorating such Taxes based on a ratio of (A) the number of days in the tax period through and including the Closing Date to (B) the total number of days in the tax period; provided, however, that the Equity Sellers shall not be responsible for any Tax incurred after the Closing Date as a result of any action by any Target Company or the Purchaser other than in the ordinary course of the business of such Target Company.
		

		
			(c)Allocation of Purchase Price.  Each of the Parties further agrees and acknowledges that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among (i) the assets of the Target Companies (the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to each of the assets of the Target Companies shall be increased by the respective liabilities of the Target Companies as of the Closing) and (ii) the Purchased Assets (the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Purchased Assets shall be increased by the Assumed Liabilities as of the Closing), all in accordance with the methodology set forth on Schedule 6.6(c) (the “Asset Allocation”).  The portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the assets of the Target 
		
		
 


		

			-  35  -

		




 


		

			 

		




		Companies and to the Purchased Assets shall be reflected on a separate Form 8594 filed for each Target Company and each Asset Seller.  Unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Law, for income Tax purposes, the Equity Sellers, the Asset Sellers and the Purchaser will not, and will cause their respective Affiliates not to, take a position in any forum that is inconsistent with this Section 6.6(c) or the Asset Allocation, including taking an inconsistent position on any Tax Return, before any Governmental Entity charged with the collection of any Tax, or in any Legal Proceeding relating to any Tax.  The Company Holders and the Purchaser will file all federal, state, local and foreign income Tax Returns in accordance with Schedule 6.6(c).

		
		
			(d)Expected Tax Treatment.  The Purchaser and Equity Sellers agree to treat the purchase and sale of the Equity Seller Units in accordance with Situation 2 of Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432, with the result that (i) the Equity Sellers shall be treated as selling the Equity Seller Units in a transaction in which gain or loss is reportable in accordance with Section 741 of the Code, and (ii) the Purchaser shall be treated as purchasing all of the assets of each Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
		

		
			(e)Pre-Closing Returns.  After the Closing Date, the Seller Representative shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of the Target Companies in any and all Tax audits, assessments or administrative or court proceedings relating to Pre-Closing Returns; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall have the right to participate in any such audit, assessment or proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice for purposes of such participation.  In the event that the Seller Representative proposes to compromise or settle any Tax claim, or consent or agree to any Tax liability, relating to a Target Company, the Purchaser shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, consent or agreement.  Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Seller Representative shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any issue or claim arising in any such audit, assessment or proceeding, or otherwise agree to or consent to any Tax liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement that would result in a cost to the Purchaser that is not indemnified pursuant to this Agreement.
		

		
			(f)Straddle Returns.  After the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have the exclusive right to represent the interests of the Target Companies in any and all Tax audits, assessments or administrative or court proceedings relating to Tax Returns for Straddle Periods; provided, however, that the Seller Representative shall have the right to participate in any such audit, assessment or proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice for purposes of such participation to the extent that any such audit, assessment or proceeding would result in an indemnity payment to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.  In the event that the Purchaser proposes to compromise or settle any Tax claim, or consent or agree to any Tax liability, relating to a Target Company that would result in an indemnity payment to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, the Seller Representative shall have the right to review such proposed compromise, settlement, consent or agreement.  Without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, the Purchaser shall not agree or consent to compromise or settle any issue or claim arising in any such audit, assessment

		or proceeding, or otherwise agree to or consent to any Tax liability, to the extent that any such compromise, settlement, consent or agreement that would result in an indemnity payment to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.
		

		
			(g)Amended Return.
		

		
			(i)Upon written request of the Seller Representative, the Purchaser shall file, or cause to be filed, any amended Tax Return (other than an amended income Tax Return) for a Target Company or a claim for Tax (other than income Tax) refund on behalf of such Target Company for any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date; provided that taking such position will not subject either the Purchaser or such Target Company to additional Taxes or reduce any Tax asset or Tax attribute of the Purchaser or such Target Company.  The Purchaser shall permit the Seller Representative to review and comment on such amended Tax Return prior to filing and the Purchaser shall incorporate the Seller Representative’s reasonable comments.  The cost of preparing such amended Tax Return shall be borne by the Seller Representative.  The Purchaser shall reimburse the Equity Sellers for any Tax refund received with respect to such amended Tax Return, net of any costs incurred by the Purchaser under this Section 6.6(g)(i).
		

		
			(ii)Any amended Tax Return of a Target Company or claim for Tax refund on behalf of a Target Company for any period ending after the Closing Date shall be filed, or caused to be filed, only by the Purchaser.  The Purchaser shall not make or cause to be made, any such filing, without the prior written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent such filing, if accepted, reasonably might increase the Tax liability of any Company Holder.
		

		
			(h)The Purchaser shall not file an election under Treasury regulation 301.7701-3 or any comparable provisions of applicable Law of state or local jurisdiction to cause a Target Company to be treated as anything other than partnership for Federal income Tax purposes (or for purposes of such state or local jurisdiction), where such election has an effective date prior to the day after the Closing Date.
		

		
			(i)The Purchaser shall cause the Target Companies to promptly to remit to the Seller Representative for the benefit of the Equity Sellers any refunds of Taxes received attributable to tax periods ending on or before the Closing except to the extent that such refunds were taken into account in the Net Working Capital.
		

		
			(j)After the Closing Date, the Purchaser and the Equity Sellers shall provide each other with such cooperation and information including reasonable access to any applicable employees relating to the Target Companies as any other Party may reasonably request in (i) filing any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or other Tax filing or claim for refund of Taxes, (ii) determining any Tax liability or right to refund of Taxes, (iii) conducting or defending any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes, or (iv) effectuating the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Party shall be unreasonably required to prepare any document, or determine any information, not then in its possession in response to a request under this Section 6.6(j).

			(k)Adjustment for Tax Benefits.  Any amounts subject to indemnification by the Equity Sellers hereunder shall be computed net of any Tax benefits realized by the Purchaser in connection therewith.
		

		
			Section 6.7Employee Benefits.
		

		
			(a)The Parties agree to the following provisions related to the employees of the Companies: 
		

		
			(i)Those employees of any Target Company that are listed on Schedule 6.7(a)(i) hereto (“Discontinued Employees”), must be, on or before the Closing Date, (i) transferred to and employed by Welch Gaming, LLC or (ii) terminated by the Target Companies as employees of the Target Companies.  All costs, expenses, salary, severance payments, bonus amounts or other payments due or payable to any Discontinued Employee, and all other expenses or costs incurred, in connection with the transfer or discharge of the Discontinued Employees shall be Seller Transaction Expenses for all purposes of this Agreement.
		

		
			(ii)The Purchaser hereby undertakes that all individuals who are employed by a Target Company as of the Closing Date other than Discontinued Employees (each, a “Continuing Target Employee”) shall each remain an employee of the employing Target Company immediately following the Closing Date.    
		

		
			(iii)Prior to the Closing Date, the Target Companies shall terminate the 401(k) Plan effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.  The Purchaser shall indemnify the current trustee, Cummins, for costs and liabilities incurred that may be incurred in connection with continuing to act as trustee between the Closing Date and final distribution or transfer of all plan assets, provided that such indemnification shall not cover liability for the matters disclosed in Section 4.10(d) for which the Company Holders are indemnifying Purchaser. 
		

		
			(iv)Except as provided in (i) and (iii) above, the Purchaser hereby assumes, agrees to honor without modification or contest, and agrees to cause each Target Company to honor without modification or contest, and to make required payments when due under, all contracts, agreements, arrangements, policies, plans and commitments of the Target Companies, including any compensation arrangements, employment agreements and employee or director benefit plans, programs and policies, in existence as of the date hereof which are (x) applicable with respect to any Continuing Target Employee or any officer or executive of such Target Company, or with respect to any former employee, officer, or executive of such Target Company and (y) disclosed on the appropriate Schedule to this Agreement as contemplated by the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV.

			(vi)Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not alter or reduce the status of any Continuing Target Employee in such a manner as would have the effect of denying any such Continuing Target Employee credit for any and all purposes for the Continuing Target Employee’s period of service with any Company prior to the Closing.  Neither this Section 6.7 nor any other provision of this Agreement shall limit the ability or right of Purchaser or a Target Company to terminate the employment of any of their respective employees after the Closing Date (subject to any rights of any such employee pursuant to any contract, agreement, arrangement, policy, plan or commitment). 
		

		
			(vii)Purchaser shall have no obligation to employ or to provide benefits to any Person after the Closing Date other than the Continuing Target Employees.  The Parties specifically acknowledge and agree that (i) the provisions of this Section are not intended to confer any rights or remedies for the benefit of any employee of the Target Companies and (ii) no Continuing Target Employee shall be retained as an employee beyond thirty (30) days after the Closing Date if the Purchaser should determine, in its sole discretion, that any such Continuing Target Employee does not satisfy the Purchaser’s minimum hiring eligibility requirements as to passing a standard background check and drug test.
		

		
			(b)For purposes of all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements maintained by or contributed to by the Purchaser (including, after Closing, each Target Company), the Purchaser shall cause each such plan, program or arrangement to treat the prior service with any Company and its Affiliates of each Continuing Target Employee (to the same extent such service is recognized under analogous plans, programs or arrangements of any Company or its Affiliates prior to the Closing) as service rendered to the Purchaser, as the case may be, for purposes of eligibility to participate in and vesting thereunder (but not benefit accrual); provided, however, that such crediting of service shall not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of such benefit.  Continuing Target Employees shall also be given credit for any deductible or co-payment amounts paid in respect of the plan year in which the Closing occurs, to the extent that, following the Closing, they participate in any other plan for which deductibles or co-payments are required.  The Purchaser shall also cause each Purchaser Plan (as hereinafter defined below) to waive any preexisting condition which was waived under the terms of any Plan immediately prior to the Closing or waiting period limitation which would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Target Employee on or after the Closing.  The Purchaser shall recognize any accrued but unused vacation of the Continuing Target Employees as of the Closing Date, and the Purchaser shall cause each Target Company to provide such paid vacation.  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Purchaser Plan” shall mean any employee benefit plan, as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or whatever nonqualified employee benefit or deferred compensation plan, stock option, bonus or incentive plan or other employee benefit or fringe benefit program, that may be in effect generally for employees of the Purchaser from time to time.
		

		
			(c)Except as provided in this Section 6.7, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way the rights of the Purchaser or any Company to modify, amend,

		terminate or establish employee benefit plans or arrangements, in whole or in part, at any time after the Closing Date.
		

		
			(d)The Purchaser shall comply with, and shall be responsible for all liabilities or obligations under, the WARN Act, with respect to all Continuing Target Employees from the actions of the Purchaser or any Company following the Closing.
		

		
			(e)The Target Companies shall, prior to or within a reasonable period after the Closing, but in no event later than final distribution of the assets of the 401(k) Plan, commence a compliance statement through the Internal Revenue Service’s Voluntary Compliance Program (as set forth in Rev. Proc. 2013-12) to correct the 401(k) Plan’s compliance exceptions identified in Schedule 4.10(d).  The Target Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the plan’s third party administrator to pay all out-of-pocket costs of the Voluntary Compliance Program application.  To the extent that the costs and expenses of preparing and submitting such application (including the application fee) are not paid by the plan’s third party administrator or another third party, the Company Holders shall pay for, from the Indemnity Escrow Fund, the cost for the preparation of the Voluntary Compliance Program application with the cooperation of the Target Companies, and the Seller Representative may designate counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser.
		

		
			Section 6.8Publicity.  None of the Company Holders, the Companies, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consultation of the other party, except as may be required by law or by any listing agreement with a national securities exchange, in which cases the other party shall be advised and the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued.
		

		
			Section 6.9Retention of and Access to Books and Records.
		

		
			(a)Following the Closing, the Purchaser shall retain all material books and records of the Companies relating to the operations of the Companies prior to the Closing Date for the period of times for each type of such books and records as are required pursuant to the Purchaser’s company-wide file retention policies or for such longer periods as may be required to satisfy applicable laws, regulations or agreements.  The books and records to be retained pursuant to this Section 6.9(a) shall include, without limitation, books and records (such books and records of each Company, collectively, the “Records”) (i) relating to Taxes, including, without limitation, accounting and tax records and information pertaining to events occurring prior to the Closing Date, (ii) required to be retained pursuant to obligations imposed by any statute, rule, regulation or pendency of any litigation or other legal proceeding (“Legal Proceeding”), (iii) relevant and necessary to defend any claim of liability under Section 6.6(a) hereof or (iv) relevant and necessary in connection with the defense or conduct of any Action with respect to the pre-Closing conduct, actions or omissions of such Company.

			(b)From and after the Closing Date and upon reasonable advance notice from the Seller Representative setting forth a reasonable purpose for requesting access, the Purchaser shall afford, and shall cause each Target Company to afford, the Seller Representative with the opportunity to examine and to make copies of all of the Records.  All such information and access by the Seller Representative and its employees and representatives shall comply with the Purchaser’s security procedures and shall be conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Purchaser or its Affiliates.
		

		
			(c)If originals or copies of any Records, articles, objects or things, are required to respond to legal process in connection with the conduct or defense by the Seller Representative of any Action, such party, subject to applicable laws, regulations or agreements (including the attorney-client privilege), shall be permitted to remove the Records, articles, objects or things temporarily from the other party’s premises; provided, that such party shall return such original documents to such other party as promptly as practicable after such time when such original documents are no longer required in connection with such Legal Proceeding.

			(e)If the Purchaser should hereafter plan to prepare audited financial statements for any one or more of the Target Companies with respect to any period of time that begins on or before the Closing Date, then the Seller Representative will, upon request of the Purchaser, (i) provide introductions to the responsible partners at the accounting firms that provided auditing or other accounting services to such Target Companies during such period of time and (ii) provide written authorization to such accounting firms to disclose, provide or deliver to the Purchaser (or its designee), at the cost and expense of the Purchaser, copies of any and all files or other information in the possession of such accounting firms as may be useful or necessary in connection with the preparation of such audited financial statements.
		

		
			Section 6.10Indemnification of Managers and Officers.  For a period of at least six (6) years after the Closing, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each of the Target Companies (and any of its successors) not to, for such period, amend, or cause to be amended, any provision in the articles of organization, limited liability company operating agreement or any other organizational document of such Target Company if the effect of any such amendment would impair or inhibit any right to indemnification for acts and omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date now existing in favor of the current or former managers and/or officers of such Target Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Purchaser or any Target Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns, consolidates with or merges into any other Person or transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, then, and in each case, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such successors and assigns of the Purchaser or the applicable Target Company, as the case may be, to honor the provisions

A Permitted Gaming Cash Dispenser with Account Cash Functionality may not be installed from and after the Closing Date through the end of the four (4) year anniversary of the Closing Date at any location where one of the Companies or Purchaser also then has an ATM installed, and any Permitted Gaming Cash Dispenser installed during that period at a location where one of the Companies or Purchaser does not then have an ATM installed at the same location may only include Account Cash Functionality if prior notice is provided to the Purchaser and during that period exclusively utilizes WSILC or its Affiliates for the processing of transactions. 
		

		
			(b)For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, the Company Holders shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any employees of the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries (including the Target Companies) to leave such employment; provided, however, this restriction shall not prohibit general solicitations for employment not specifically targeted at such employees; or (ii) cause, induce or encourage any material actual customer or supplier of the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries or any other Person who has a material business relationship with the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries, to terminate or modify any such relationship.
		

		
			(c)For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, the Company Holders shall not and shall cause their Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Purchaser or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Purchaser, any Confidential Information (as defined below).  The Company Holders shall not have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause its officers, directors or Affiliates to keep confidential) any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by applicable Law, subpoena or other judicial process; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, subpoena or other judicial process, the Company Holders shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order at Purchaser’s sole cost.  For purposes of this Section 6.14(c), “Confidential Information” means any proprietary information with respect to any Company that has economic

			(d)The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 6.14 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of the terms of this Section 6.14 will cause irreparable injury to Purchaser, the amount of which will be difficult to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated.  Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 6.14 will be inadequate.  Therefore, Purchaser may be entitled to a temporary and permanent injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of a breach of this Section 6.14 without the necessity of proving actual damage.  The rights and remedies provided by this Section 6.14 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have hereunder or at law or in equity.
		

		
			(e)The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, or a specified business limitation of this Section 6.14 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser period of time, geographical area, or business limitation which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party.
		

		
			(f)Solely for purposes of this Section 6.14, the term “Affiliates” shall mean, when applied to Rock Island Capital Fund I, L.P. and Rock Island Capital Q Fund I, L.P.

			(b)The Asset Sellers shall use best efforts to transfer title to the EFT Accounts to WSILC by Closing.

The Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Asset Sellers any mail or other communication received by it after the Closing Date pertaining to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities.
		

		
			Section 6.17Use of Names.  After the Closing Date, each of the Company Holders and Asset Sellers agrees that (A) neither it, nor any of its Affiliates, shall use the names, trademarks, slogans, trade names, logos or labels included in the Purchased Assets and (B) any license or other right previously granted by any of the Target Companies, any of the Company Holders or any Affiliate of a Company Holder purporting to grant any right or interest in or to the names, trademarks, slogans, trade names, logos or labels owned or used by the Target Companies shall be terminated as of the Closing Date without any further action required by any party thereto.  Each of the Asset Sellers, Company Holders and their Affiliates shall take such action as necessary to (i) change its name within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date to a name that does not make use of, or that is confusingly similar to, any of the names, trademarks, slogans, trade names, logos or labels included in the Purchased Assets and (ii) maintain its corporate existence in good standing for at least one year after the Closing Date.

			-  46  -

		




 


		

			 

		




		sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed on the Closing Date because any waiting or notice period has not expired or any required consents or approvals have not been obtained or waived, then the legal interest in such Purchased Assets will not be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed until such waiting or notice period shall have expired or until the necessary approval, consent or waiver is obtained, and each Asset Seller will, at its expense, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents, approvals or waivers as soon as practicable.  Nothing in this Agreement may be construed as an attempt to assign to the Purchaser any legal interest in any of the Purchased Assets that, as a matter of law or by the terms of any contract to which an Asset Seller is subject, is not assignable without the consent of any other party, unless such consent is given.  Pending such assignments, conveyances and transfers, each Asset Seller will hold any such non-assigned Purchased Assets for the benefit of the Purchaser and will cooperate with the Purchaser in any lawful and reasonable arrangements designed to provide the benefits of ownership thereof to the Purchaser.
		

		
			Section 6.19Pre-Closing Transfer of Certain Automobiles.  The automobiles listed on Schedule 6.19 hereto (the “Excluded Autos”) are currently owned by a Target Company.  Prior to the Closing Date, the Target Companies and the Equity Sellers will take such actions and execute such documents as may be necessary to transfer, assign, convey and deliver the Excluded Autos to a Person other than the Target Companies, with no adjustment to the Purchase Price.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Target Company shall, prior to the Closing, take such actions as are necessary to result in the certificate of title for each Excluded Auto to be transferred and re-issued in the name of the transferee of each such Excluded Auto.

Purchaser will offer to provide substitute cash collateral or letters or credit to the lender under the United Community Vault Line in order to obtain a release of the Liens securing the United Community Vault Line.  If such lender declines to release such Liens, then Purchaser will repay all amounts borrowed on the United Community Vault Line and thereby acquire ownership at the Closing of all of the cash borrowed thereunder.  If the amounts borrowed under the United Community Vault Line are not repaid by the Purchaser at Closing, the Purchaser will use reasonable effort to cause the Asset Sellers and its owners to be released from liability on the United Community Vault Line, notwithstanding that Purchaser indemnifies the Asset Sellers and their owners under Section 9.3 with respect to the United Community Vault Line (except to the extent of a Vault Cash Deficiency) as an Assumed Liability.

			(b)by any of the Companies, the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Company Holders, or the Purchaser, if any Governmental Entity shall have issued a statute, order, decree or regulation or taken any other action (which statute, order, decree, regulation or other action the parties hereto shall use their reasonable best efforts to lift), in each case permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or making the transactions contemplated hereby illegal and such statute, order, decree, regulation or other action shall have become final and non-appealable;
		

		
			(c)by the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Company Holders, if the Purchaser breaches or fails to perform any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Article V is or becomes untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in  Section 7.2(a)  and Section 7.2(b) would not be satisfied and such breach is incapable of being cured or, if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Purchaser of written notice specifying particularly such breach, failure or untrue representation;

For purposes of  Section 9.2, except for the second sentence of Section 4.16 (Title to Other Properties; All Other ATM Assets), the representations and warranties made by the Companies and the Company Holders in this Agreement shall not be deemed qualified by any references to materiality or to Material Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, liability for any violation of Section 6.14 by a Company Holder shall be solely that of the breaching Company Holder.    

		
		
			Section 9.3Indemnification by the Purchaser.  From and after the Closing, subject to Section 9.4 and Section 9.5 hereof, the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Representative and its members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents, and the other Company Holders and Asset Sellers (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Damages incurred directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from any one or more of the following: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser in Article V of this Agreement; (ii) any breach or violation of, or failure to perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement; (iii) any breach or violation of, or failure to perform, any post-closing covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation of the Purchaser or  a Target Company set forth in this Agreement and (iv) the Assumed Liabilities.
		

		
			Section 9.4Limitations on Indemnification Amount.
		

		
			(a)Except for breaches of the Fundamental Representations, Section 4.12 (Tax Matters) or Section 4.13 (Environmental Matters) and fraud by the Company Holders, none of the Company Holders or the Purchaser, as the case may be, shall be liable for Damages arising in connection with its indemnification obligations under  Section 9.2(i) or Section 9.3(i) hereof until the amount of Damages incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, exceeds $750,000 in the aggregate and then only to the extent of such excess (i.e. a true deductible, not a “tipping basket”).
		

		 


		

			-  52  -

		




 


		

			 

		




		
			(b)Except for breaches of Fundamental Representations, Statutory Representations, the representations and warranties made in Section 4.22 (Data Privacy and Security) and fraud of the Company Holders, the Company Holders shall in aggregate have no indemnification obligations to the Purchaser for any liability under this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.2 and Section 9.2) in excess of $24,000,000 (the “Indemnification Cap”).  In addition to the foregoing limits, the Company Holders’ aggregate indemnification obligations to the Purchaser for any liability with respect to the matters in Schedule 9.2 alone shall not exceed the limits set forth therein, and no Company Holder shall be obligated to indemnify the Purchaser in an amount which exceeds such Company Holder’s Indemnity Share of the Indemnification Cap, except for breaches of Fundamental Representations or Statutory Representations or fraud of the Company Holders.  With respect to the Fundamental Representations and the Statutory Representations, the Company Holders shall have no indemnification obligations to the Purchaser in aggregate for any liability arising hereunder in excess of the Purchase Price, less all other payments made for indemnification obligations from the Indemnity Escrow or on account of Section 4.22.  With respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.22 (Data Privacy and Security), the Company Holders shall have no indemnification obligations to the Purchaser in aggregate for any liability arising hereunder in excess of $48,000,000.
		

		
			Section 9.5Other Limitations.
		

		
			(a)The amount of any Damages suffered by a Seller Indemnified Party or a Purchaser Indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall be reduced by any third-party insurance or other indemnification benefits which such party or any of its representatives receives in respect of or as a result of such Damages.  If any Damages for which indemnification is provided hereunder are subsequently reduced by any third-party insurance or other indemnification benefit, recovery, the amount of the reduction shall be remitted to the Seller Indemnified Party or Purchaser Indemnified Party, as the case may be.
		

		
			(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the case of any Damages or any alleged Damages arising hereunder as to which any Target Company is entitled to indemnification pursuant to any asset purchase agreement pursuant to which any Target Company acquired assets, the Purchaser shall proceed (or shall cause such Target Company to proceed) directly against the indemnitors thereunder and shall use its best efforts to enforce the rights of any Target Company under those agreements before making any claim against the Company Holders hereunder; provided, that the Seller Representative shall cooperate reasonably with the Purchaser in making any such claim thereunder.
		

		
			(c)No Action for indemnification, reimbursement or any other remedy pursuant to this Article may be brought with respect to breaches of representations and warranties contained herein after the applicable Expiration Date; provided, however, that, if, prior to the applicable Expiration Date, an Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party in writing of a specific claim for indemnification under this Article and such notice identifies the nature of such claim with reasonable specificity, such 
		

		 


		

			-  53  -

		




 


		

			 

		




		Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified with respect to such claim in accordance with this Article notwithstanding the occurrence of such Expiration Date.
		

		
			(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event shall any Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification for Damages pursuant to this Article IX to the extent any Damages were attributable to such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
		

		
			Section 9.6Notice and Payment of Claims.
		

		
			(a)Notice.  An Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party (with reasonable specificity) promptly after it becomes aware of facts supporting an Action for indemnification under this Article, and shall provide to the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable thereafter all information and documentation necessary to support and verify any Damages associated with such Action.  The failure to so notify or provide information to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved from its obligations hereunder.
		

		
			(b)Payment.  In the event an Action for indemnification under this Article shall have been Finally Determined, the amount of the related Damages shall be paid by the Company Holders, or the Purchaser, as the case may be, to the Seller Indemnified Party or the Purchaser Indemnified Party, as the case may be, in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars within five (5) business days after such Final Determination.  For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “Finally Determined,” “Final Determination” and other similar phrases shall mean with respect to any Action, and the liability for and amount of Damages therefor, when the parties to such Action have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final, non-appealable decision has been rendered in accordance with Article IX hereof.    
		

		
			(c)Third-Party Claims.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party may be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article against any Action made or brought by a third-party (a “Third-Party Claim”), indemnification shall be provided in accordance with the following procedures:
		

		
			(i)Upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Party shall, if an Action is to be made against the Indemnifying Party under this Article, give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Third-Party Claim as soon as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) days after the Indemnified Party shall have been served with process, but the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that its defense of such Third-Party Claim has been actually prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give 
		

		 


		

			-  54  -

		




 


		

			 

		




		such notice, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be relieved from its obligations hereunder.
		

		
			(ii)If a Third-Party Claim is brought against an Indemnified Party and it gives proper notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled (unless the Action involves Taxes in which case defense will be handled as set forth in Section 6.6 hereof or unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Third-Party Claim except if the Indemnifying Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be appropriate) to assume the control of defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, as long as it conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim.
		

		
			(iii)If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, no compromise, discharge or settlement of or admission of liability in connection with such Third-Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (A) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party (if such claim by the Indemnified Party for indemnification is successful) or (B) such settlement does not include terms other than monetary Damages which in the good faith judgment of the Indemnifying Party could significantly adversely affect such Target Company’s business operations after the Closing.
		

		
			Section 9.7Tax Consequences.  Any indemnity payment made under this Article shall be deemed to be an adjustment in the Purchase Price.
		

		
			Section 9.8Remedy.  Except for seeking equitable relief or claims based on fraud, from and after the Closing the sole remedy of either party in connection with a breach of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or a breach or violation of, or failure to perform, any covenant, agreement or obligation in this Agreement, shall be as set forth in this Article IX.  The eligible funds in the Indemnity Escrow account shall be the primary source of recovery with respect to any indemnity claim made hereunder by Purchaser, and no demand shall be made on Company Holders except to the extent in excess of funds available in the Indemnity Escrow.
		

		
			Section 9.9Powers of Attorney.
		

		
			(a)Each Company Holder and Asset Seller irrevocably constitutes and appoints Rock Island Capital Fund I, L.P. as such Company Holder’s true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact and agent (the “Seller Representative”) and authorizes the Seller Representative acting for such Company Holder and in such Company Holder’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing required or permitted to be done by such Company Holder or the Seller

		Representative hereunder or otherwise in connection with the agreements and transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Person might or could do in person, including, without limitation:
		

		
			(i)determine the presence (or absence) and direct payment of proceeds of claims for indemnification against the Purchaser pursuant to Article IX;
		

		
			(ii)deliver all notices required to be delivered by such Company Holder under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any notice of a claim for which indemnification is sought under Article IX;
		

		
			(iii)receive all notices required to be delivered to such Company Holder under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any notice of a claim for which indemnification is sought under Article IX;
		

		
			(iv)take any and all action on behalf of such Company Holder from time to time as the Seller Representative may deem necessary or desirable to defend, pursue, resolve and/or settle disputes or claims under this Agreement, including, without limitation, disputes regarding the Proposed Final Closing Statement or the calculation of the sum of the Net Working Capital plus Recent CapX and Cash Vault Deficiency under Section 2.4(e) and claims for indemnification under Article IX;
		

		
			(v)consent on behalf of the Company Holders with respect to matters under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and
		

		
			(vi)engage and employ, at the expense of the Company Holders, agents and representatives (including accountants, legal counsel and other professionals) and to incur such other expenses as it deems necessary or prudent in connection with the administration of the foregoing.
		

		
			(b)Each Company Holder grants unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Seller Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  Each Company Holder agrees that such agency, proxy and power of attorney are coupled with an interest, and are therefore irrevocable without the consent of the Seller Representative and Purchaser and shall survive the death, incapacity, or bankruptcy of such Company Holder.  Each Company Holder acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement, any delivery by the Seller Representative of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other documents executed by the Seller Representative or any decisions made by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 9.9, such Company Holder shall be bound by such documents or decision as fully as if such Company Holder had executed and delivered such documents or made such decisions.  Company Holders shall reimburse, in accordance with their respective Indemnity Share, all costs incurred by the Seller Representative in acting as Seller 
		

		 


		

			-  56  -

		




 


		

			 

		




		Representative and for all payments made on behalf of the Company Holders under this Agreement.
		

		
			(c)Liability.  The Seller Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Company Holder, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Company Holder.  The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any Company Holder for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it hereunder or under any other document or instrument contemplated hereby, or in connection therewith, except that the Seller Representative shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Seller Representative shall not be liable to any of the Company Holders for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Company Holder to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Company Holders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.  The Seller Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement.
		

		
			(d)Replacement of the Seller Representative.  Each Company Holder acknowledges and agrees that, upon the dissolution, liquidation, termination, bankruptcy or other incapacity of the initial Seller Representative appointed pursuant to Section 9.9(a), Rock Island Capital, LLC shall be succeed to the responsibility and authority of the initial Seller Representative.
		

		
			(e)Actions of the Seller Representative.  Each Company Holder agrees that Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Seller Representative, on behalf of the Company Holders, pursuant to Section 9.9(a)  above (each, an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each Company Holder as fully as if such Company Holder had taken such Authorized Action.  Purchaser agrees that the Seller Representative shall have no liability to Purchaser for any Authorized Action, except to the extent that such Authorized Action is found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted fraud or willful misconduct.  Company Holders agree, jointly and severally, to pay, and to indemnify and hold harmless, Purchaser from and against any losses which they may suffer, sustain, or become subject to, as the result of any claim by any Person that an Authorized Action is not binding on, or enforceable against, the Company Holders.  In addition, the Company Holders hereby release and discharge Purchaser, each Company and each of their respective Affiliates from and against any liability arising out of or in connection with the Seller Representative’s failure to distribute any amounts received by the Seller Representative on the Company Holders’ behalf to the Company Holders.
		

		
			Section 9.10Purchaser Reliance.  By execution hereof, Seller Representative agrees to accept payment of the Purchase Price and any other cash consideration hereunder, from time to time, on behalf of the Company Holders and to promptly disburse to the Equity Sellers and the Asset Sellers their respective Distributive Share thereof, net of (i) any applicable fees and expenses, including applicable fees of expenses of the Seller Representative arising out of or in 
		
		
 


		

			-  57  -

		




 


		

			 

		




		connection with the acceptance or administration of the Seller Representative’s duties hereunder (and such reserves for contingencies as Seller Representative may deem necessary or appropriate) and (ii) adjustments to take account of the portion of the Net Working Capital attributable to the Target Companies (to be charged or credited to the Equity Sellers) and the Asset Sellers (to be charged or credited to the Company Holders in the Asset Sellers) as reasonably determined by the Seller Representative.  The Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on the full power and authority of Seller Representative to act hereunder and under any Exhibit or Schedule hereto on behalf of the Company Holders, and shall not be liable in any way whatsoever for any action the Purchaser takes or omits to take in reliance upon such power and authority.  The Company Holders shall look solely to the Seller Representative for payment of their Distributive Share of the cash consideration paid to Seller Representative by the Purchaser, less payments made or costs incurred by the Seller Representative on their behalf, and they shall have no recourse against Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or agents for payment thereof; provided, however, that this sentence shall in no way limit the Company Holders’ or the Seller Representative’s power to enforce any of the Company Holders’ rights hereunder.
