 SECTION 2.1 Purchase and Sale. 
 (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall

 (b) Purchaser will pay to Seller at the Closing, a net purchase price (the “Equity
Consideration”) equal to (i) the Total Consideration Amount; (ii) less the TTL Debt Amount; (iii) less the Free Cash Estimated Deficit Amount as provided in Section 2.3(a)(i), and (iv) less the Capex Shortfall
Amount. 
  

 10 

 (c) In addition, Purchaser will accept the transfer and assignment of the Shares with the
TTL Debt outstanding and make arrangements to pay the TTL Debt Amount to the Seller in cash at the Closing. At the option of Purchaser, the payment of the TTL Debt Amount at the Closing will be made either as— 
 (i) a payment and discharge by TTL of the TTL Debt; or 
 (ii) a purchase of the TTL Debt from Seller by a financing source (the “Note Purchaser”) of the Purchaser and/or TTL.

 (d) In addition to the payment of the TTL Debt Amount and the Equity Consideration (collectively, the “Cash Closing
Payment”), the Purchaser shall also be required (i) to assume certain of the obligations of Seller under the LN Guarantees as required by Section 5.12(a) and (ii) issue letters of credit as required by the provisions of
Section 5.12(b) and (c). The Cash Closing Payment shall be paid without reduction or offset for any amount relating to any of the Excluded Assets. 
 (e) [Intentionally deleted]. 
 (f) Upon execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall provide
written instructions to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Bank”) to pay to Seller by wire transfer the Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollar ($7,500,000.00) deposit (and any undistributed interest held by Bank in respect
of such deposit) (such deposit, together with any undistributed interest earned thereon, herein called the “Deposit Escrow Funds”) that was previously deposited by Purchaser with Bank pursuant to an escrow agreement related to this
transaction and entered into by and among Purchaser, Seller and Bank. The Deposit Escrow Funds shall be applied towards the Purchaser’s payment obligations at the Closing. 
 SECTION 2.2 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Closing shall be held at the offices of Jeffer, Mangels,
Butler & Marmaro, LLP, 1900 Avenue of the Stars, Los Angeles, California 90067, 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time on the date of the execution of this Agreement (or at such other place or at such other time as Seller and Purchaser may mutually agree
upon in writing) (the day on which the Closing takes place being referred to herein as the “Closing Date”). 
 SECTION 2.3
Adjustments to the Total Consideration Amount for Free Cash Deficit.  
 (a) Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as a
downward adjustment to the Total Consideration Amount, the Free Cash Final Deficit Amount as follows: 
 (i) As a deposit
against Seller’s obligation under this Section 2.3(a), Purchaser is authorized to reduce the amount otherwise payable at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof by the Free Cash Estimated Deficit Amount. 
 (ii) Within five (5) business days following the date upon which the amount of Free Cash as of the close of business on the Closing
Date is finally determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3(b), the payment obligation of Seller pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) will be settled as follows: 
 (A) If the Free Cash Final Deficit Amount exceeds the Free Cash Estimated Deficit Amount, then Seller will pay the amount of such excess
to Purchaser. 
  

 11 

 (B) If the Free Cash Estimated Deficit Amount exceeds the Free Cash Final Deficit
Amount, then Purchaser will pay the amount of such excess to Seller. 
 (b) The Free Cash Final Deficit Amount shall be
determined in accordance with the following provisions: 
 (i) Seller shall prepare a written statement setting forth a
determination of Free Cash of the Target Group Companies as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Free Cash Statement”) with reasonable detail reflecting the calculation of Free Cash and the components thereof as of
such date. The Free Cash Statement shall be prepared by or at the direction of the Seller. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Free Cash Statement to be delivered to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date.
Purchaser shall make available to Seller, and its accountants and other representatives, such information, books, records, and personnel of the Target Group Companies and provide such assistance as Seller shall reasonably request at any time during
the preparation by Seller of the Free Cash Statement. 
 (ii) Before finalization, the Free Cash Statement must be mutually
agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. 
 (iii) If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve any dispute concerning the
contents of the Free Cash Statement within the thirty (30) day period following delivery by Seller to Purchaser of the Free Cash Statement, a mutually approved Big 4 Accounting Firm that does not regularly perform services for the Seller Group
Companies or the Purchaser or its Affiliates (the “Arbitrating Accountant”) shall be engaged as arbitrator hereunder to settle such dispute as soon as practicable. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute, the
Arbitrating Accountant shall have access to all documents, records, work papers, facilities and personnel necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. The Arbitrating Accountant’s function shall be to review only those items which are in
dispute and to resolve the dispute with respect to such items. The Arbitrating Accountant’s award with respect to any such dispute shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto, and judgment may be entered on the award. The fees and
expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant shall be allocated between Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, so that (A) Seller shall pay an amount equal to the product of (x) and (y), where (x) is the aggregate amount
of such fees and expenses, and where (y) is a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount in dispute that is successfully disputed by Purchaser (as determined by the Arbitrating Accountant), and the denominator of which is the total value in
dispute and (B) Purchaser shall pay the remaining portion of such fees and expenses that are not payable by Seller. 
 (iv) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with one another in connection with providing information to one another relating to the calculation of the Free Cash Final Deficit Amount.

 (a) As of the close of business on the Closing Date: (i) Seller will terminate or cause its Affiliates to terminate all coverage relating to the Target Group Companies and their respective businesses, assets and
employees under the policies of insurance of Seller maintained for the benefit of all of its controlled subsidiaries, including the Target Group Companies; provided, however, that (x) no such termination of any “occurrence
based” policy in force as of the Closing Date shall be effected so as to prevent the Target Group Companies from recovering under such policies for losses covered thereby from events occurring prior to the Closing Date, it being understood that
the Target Group Companies shall be responsible for any deductible payable under the terms of the applicable policy in connection with any such claims; (y) no such termination of any “claims made” policy in force as of the Closing
Date shall be effected so as to prevent the Target Group Companies from recovering under such policies for losses covered thereby arising from or out of any claims made prior to the Closing Date, it being understood that the Target Group Companies
shall be responsible for any deductible payable under the terms of 

  

 29 

 
the applicable policy in connection with any such claims; and (ii) Purchaser shall become solely responsible for all insurance coverage and related risk
of loss with respect to the Target Group Companies and their respective businesses, assets and employees in connection with events occurring on or after the Closing Date. 
 (b) Purchaser shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, effective as of the Closing Date, replacement policies of
insurance (and shall effect the same as of the Closing Date to the extent required by any joint venture, limited liability, lease or other agreement to which any Target Group Company is party), with comparable scope of coverage, limits, deductibles,
and exclusions, to replace the Insurance Policies. To the extent that, after the Closing Date, the Target Group Companies or Seller require(s) any information regarding claim data, payroll or other information in order to make filings with insurance
carriers, Seller shall promptly supply such information to the Target Group Companies, and Purchaser shall cause the Target Group Companies promptly to supply such information to Seller, as applicable. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Target
Group Companies to, promptly notify Seller of any claims pertaining to matters prior to the Closing Date if Purchaser or the Target Group Companies should tender or attempt to tender the defense of such claim to an insurer pursuant to an occurrence
based policy of insurance maintained by the Seller Group Companies. 
 SECTION 5.6 Corporate Names. As soon as reasonably practicable
after the Closing Date, but in any event no later than ninety (90) days thereafter, Purchaser shall cause each of the Target Group Companies to amend its Governing Documents, subject to any required consent or approval of any other partner or
member, which Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain, so as to delete any reference to “Live Nation”, “SFX”, or “PACE” in its legal name and, within such ninety (90) day period, to make all required
filings with Governmental Authorities to effect such amendments. 
 SECTION 5.7 Trademarks. Purchaser agrees that Purchaser and
Purchaser’s Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies after the Closing) shall not, at any time, adopt or use any trademarks, trade names, trade dress, domain names, URLs, e-mail addresses or other marks, symbols or indicia containing
the names “Live Nation”, “SFX,” or “PACE” or any confusingly similar term (the “LN Marks”), except for the use of the name “PACE” in connection with the operation of any Presenting Business or
as may be otherwise expressly authorized in writing by Seller. As between Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies after the Closing), on the one hand, and Seller, on the other, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
Seller Group Companies own all right, title and interest (including goodwill) in and to the LN Marks, and to any and all causes of action and rights of recovery for violations of or infringements upon any of the LN Marks. Purchaser agrees that
neither it nor its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies after the Closing) shall directly or indirectly challenge the ownership or other rights of the Seller Group Companies in or to, or the validity or strength of, any of the LN Marks.
Purchaser agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies after the Closing) will file any applications for registration, nor make any efforts to acquire applications for registration or registrations, for the LN
Marks, and it and they will cooperate fully as reasonably requested by Seller in connection with any registration by the Seller Group Companies of the LN Marks. The Purchaser shall have a reasonable period of time after the Closing, but no more than
90 days after the Closing, to effect any removal of the LN names from its publicity or public places (except as constitutes use of the name “PACE” in connection with the operation of any Presenting Business or as may be otherwise expressly
authorized in writing by Seller). Purchaser shall have the right for internal purposes only to utilize existing inventories of goods which may contain or utilize the LN Marks but may not sell, distribute, provide or disseminate any such goods to any
third parties (except as constitutes use of the name “PACE” in connection with the operation of any Presenting Business or as may be otherwise expressly authorized in writing by Seller). 
  

 30 

 SECTION 5.8 IT Matters. Subject to the further provisions of Section 5.10 and the provisions
of the Transition Services Agreement, between the date hereof and the Closing, the Seller and Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate with one another to provide for the orderly separation and transition as of the Closing
Date of the information technology systems (including their support and maintenance) of the Target Group Companies from the systems of the Seller Group Companies such that the Target Group Companies are independent of the systems of the Seller Group
Companies, and, in the event that such separation and transition have not been completed by the Closing, the Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete such separation and transition as soon as reasonably practicable after the
Closing Date and in any event upon expiration of the applicable provisions of the Transition Services Agreement. In this regard, the Parties agree that (i) Seller shall endeavor to provide historical accounting and human resources information
concerning the Target Group Companies that it maintains in computerized form, and (ii) notwithstanding any other provision hereof, including Section 5.10, Seller need not provide historical or archival backups of e-mail communications.

 SECTION 5.9 Resignations and Releases. On the Closing Date, 
 (a) Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser duly signed resignations (from the applicable board of directors), effective
immediately after the Closing, of all directors of the Target Group Companies; 
 (b) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an
instrument of release in a mutually approved form in which Seller, on behalf of itself and all of the Seller Group Companies, releases and discharges the Target Group Companies from any and all Indebtedness, payables, accounts, debts, liabilities or
other obligations owed by any of the Target Group Companies to the Seller Group Companies as of the Closing Date; provided such release will not act to release (i) any of the obligations or liabilities of Purchaser under this Agreement,
(ii) any obligations accruing after the Closing Date in connection with or pursuant to the contracts listed on Schedule 3.17 hereto or (iii) the TTL Debt; and 
 (c) Purchaser shall cause the Target Parent Companies to deliver to Seller an instrument of release in a mutually approved form in which
the Target Parent Companies, on behalf of themselves and all of the Target Group Companies, release and discharge the Seller Group Companies from any and all Indebtedness, payables, accounts, debts, liabilities or other obligations owed by any of
the Seller Group Companies to the Target Group Companies as of the Closing Date; provided such release will not act to release (i) any of the obligations or liabilities of Seller under this Agreement or (ii) any obligations accruing
after the Closing Date in connection with or pursuant to the contracts listed on Schedule 3.17 hereto. 
 SECTION 5.10 Books and
Records. 
 (a) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other, and shall cause their officers, employees, agents,
auditors and representatives to cooperate with each other, for a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing to ensure the orderly transition of each of the Target Group Companies from Seller to Purchaser and to minimize any disruption to the
respective businesses of Seller, Purchaser, and the Target Group Companies that might result from the transactions contemplated hereby. After the Closing, upon reasonable written notice, Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to
each other and their employees, counsel, auditors and representatives access, during normal business hours, to such information and assistance relating to the Target Group Companies as is reasonably necessary for financial reporting and accounting
matters, the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns, reports or forms or the defense of any Tax audit, claim or assessment. Neither party shall be required by this Section 5.10(a) to take any action that would unreasonably disrupt its normal
operations (or, in the case of Purchaser, the business or operations of any of the Target Group Companies). 
  

 31 

 (b) To the extent that Seller maintains books and records of the Target Group Companies
that relate solely to their businesses and are not maintained by the Target Group Companies, Seller shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser copies of such books and records
(“Records”) in the possession of any of the Seller Group Companies; provided, however, that: 
 (i) Seller shall be entitled to retain a copy of all such books and records that are delivered; 
 (ii)
“Records” shall not include any customer lists or information, promoter lists or information, or marketing information relating to the Seller Group Companies; 
 (iii) Seller may retain all Records prepared in connection with or for use in the Auction, including bids received from other parties and
analyses relating to the Target Group Companies, or otherwise relating to any attempt to sell the Target Group Companies or assets thereof or Seller’s analyses of the value thereof; and 
 (iv) Seller may retain any Tax Returns, reports or forms, and Purchaser shall be provided with copies of such Returns, reports or forms to
the extent that they relate to Separate Returns or separate Tax liability or activities or operations of any of the Target Group Companies. 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions thereof relating to the Purchaser’s obligations in respect of Confidential Information shall terminate as of the
consummation of the Closing, except with respect to such information, data, analyses, documents and materials that (i) were prepared or received by or on behalf of the Seller and its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies prior to the
Closing) in connection with the Auction (other than the bid submitted by the Purchaser) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and not provided to Purchaser prior to the Closing; (ii) do not involve current, historical or
actually planned businesses of the Target Group Companies; or (iii) relate to Excluded Assets (all of the foregoing being herein collectively called the “Seller Confidential Information”). 
 (d) The Seller Confidential Information constitutes a subset of Confidential Information under the Confidentiality Agreement and, as such,
is subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions contained therein that require that Confidential Information be maintained as confidential and prohibit use of Confidential Information in
any way detrimental or adverse to the Seller Group Companies (which the parties hereby agree to be contained therein). Notwithstanding the foregoing or the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, for purposes of convenience, Purchaser, and the
Target Group Companies shall be entitled to retain in its and their possession the Seller Confidential Information delivered with the Target Group Companies as bailees thereof, the Parties agreeing that the Confidentiality Agreement provides that
Seller remains the owner thereof. Seller shall continue to have reasonable access to the Seller Confidential Information for purposes of removing, making and retaining additional copies thereof at Seller’s expense during normal business hours
and upon reasonable notice. Subject to Purchaser’s customary retention policies, Purchaser and the Target Group Companies shall be under no obligation to destroy or return any such Seller Confidential Information except to the extent that
Seller expressly requests 

  

 32 

 
and specifically identifies the items to be returned or destroyed and that such return or destruction is not unduly burdensome. Without limiting the
provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement or this Section 5.10, in the event that it is readily apparent that information, data, analyses, documents and materials included in Seller Confidential Information include a communication to or from
an attorney actually known to be counsel for Seller or an Affiliate of Seller (including a Target Group Company prior to the Closing), then prior to the Purchaser, or a Target Group Company intentionally and purposefully waiving any attorney-client
privilege that may exist with respect to such information, data, analyses, documents or material, it will endeavor to consult in good faith with Seller to determine if such privilege exists and if a Seller Group Company is the owner of such
privilege or if the privilege is owned by a Target Group Company. 
 (e) On the Closing Date, Seller shall, to the extent
permitted by the Auction Confidentiality Agreements (as defined below), assign to the Target Parent Companies, or designate the Target Parent Companies as intended third party beneficiaries under, the confidentiality agreements entered into between
Seller and certain third party prospective bidders in connection with the Auction (collectively, the “Auction Confidentiality Agreements”) insofar as the Auction Confidentiality Agreements pertain to (x) any Confidential
Information (as defined in such Auction Confidentiality Agreements) or other confidential or proprietary information of, involving or otherwise related to the Target Group Companies, (y) any employees of any Target Group Company, or
(z) any covenants, agreements or indemnities set forth in such Auction Confidentiality Agreements involving or otherwise related to, any Target Group Company or any transaction or potential transaction pertaining thereto and covered by such
Auction Confidentiality Agreements, provided that this Section 5.10(e) shall not apply to Seller Confidential Information. Promptly after the Closing, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, Seller shall
notify, to the extent not previously notified, each other Person who is a party to an Auction Confidentiality Agreement to promptly return to Seller or destroy any Confidential Information, and all written or recorded copies thereof and written
material, memoranda, notes, copies, excerpts and other writings or recordings whatsoever based upon, containing or otherwise reflecting any Confidential Information, subject to the terms of the applicable Auction Confidentiality Agreement. Seller
shall not waive or modify any provisions of any Auction Confidentiality Agreement that relate to any Confidential Information pertaining to any of the Target Group Companies. 
 SECTION 5.11 Excluded Assets; Certain Pre-Closing Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the assets listed on
Schedule 5.11 (the “Excluded Assets”) are excluded from this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or cause the assignment,
transfer or disposal of) each of the Excluded Assets from the Target Group Companies to the Seller Group Companies. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) neither it nor any of the Target Group Companies shall have any interest whatsoever
in or to any of the Excluded Assets after the Closing and (ii) Purchaser will take such other and further actions after the Closing, upon Seller’s request, as may be reasonably necessary to better complete the assignment and transfer of
any Excluded Assets from the Target Group Companies to the Seller Group Companies at Seller’s sole cost and expense. 
 SECTION 5.12
LN Guarantees; Letters of Credit. 
 (a) Concurrently herewith, Seller and Purchaser are entering into an Assumption
Agreement (the “Assumption Agreement”) pursuant to which Purchaser is assuming – 
  

 33 

 (i) all of Seller’s obligations under the Minneapolis Guaranty, other than
(A) any obligations which by their nature are personal to Seller and thus are impossible of performance by Purchaser (including without limitation, the obligations under Sections 8 and 9 of the Minneapolis Guaranty), (B) the
obligations to provide letters of credit to the City of Minneapolis pursuant to Section 3 of the Minneapolis Guaranty and (C) any expenses and charges under Section 1(b) of the Minneapolis Guaranty incurred by The City of Minneapolis
in enforcing the obligations of Seller under the Minneapolis Guaranty which are not assumed by Purchaser (the obligations set forth in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are referred to herein collectively as the “Minneapolis Excluded
Obligations”); and 
 (ii) the obligations of Seller under the other guarantees set forth on Schedule 5.12(a)
(the Minneapolis Guarantee and the other guarantees described in Schedule 5.12 (a) collectively are referred to herein as the “LN Guarantees”). 
 (b) The Seller Group Companies have arranged for the issuance of letters of credit with respect to certain obligations of the Target Group
Companies as set forth on Schedule 5.12(b) (all of such letters of credit being herein collectively called the “LN LCs”). Prior to or concurrently with the Closing, Purchaser shall cause financial institutions acceptable to
each beneficiary of the LN LCs to issue letters of credit (the “Replacement LCs”) in the same amounts, to the same beneficiary and with the same terms and conditions as the LN LC’s and as replacements for the LN LCs and shall
use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the return of the LN LCs from each beneficiary in exchange for the corresponding Replacement LC. Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Seller Group Companies for all amounts drawn upon the LN LCs
after the Closing. 
 (c) If any beneficiary of an LN LC should refuse to accept a Replacement LC, for any reason whatsoever,
in exchange for such Replacement LC, then the following provisions will apply: 
 (i) Purchaser shall be required, at Closing,
to cause a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Seller to issue an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit (a “Back-to-Back LC”) to Seller, as beneficiary, in the same amount as the corresponding LN LC (each LN LC
that is not returned and for which a corresponding Back-to-Back LC is so issued, being herein called an “Unreturned LC”) and in a form reasonably approved by Seller. For all purposes hereof, Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto Dominion
Bank, JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Bank of America, N.A shall be financial institutions acceptable to Seller with respect to any Back-to-Back LC without any further request to or approval from Seller. After the Closing, the provisions of
Section 5.12(d) shall govern the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to any Back-to-Back LC issued pursuant to this Section 5.12(c)(i). 
 (ii) After the Closing, Purchaser will, from time to time upon the request of Seller, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
return of each Unreturned LC to Seller from the beneficiary thereof in exchange for a Replacement LC. If Purchaser should successfully obtain the return of any Unreturned LC to Seller or should any Unreturned LC otherwise be returned to Seller or
expire without being drawn and with no obligation to replace, then Seller shall be required to return the corresponding Back-to-Back LC previously issued to Seller pursuant to Section 5.12(c)(i) (and any Unapplied Proceeds attributable to
previous draws on such Unreturned LC) simultaneously with the return of such Unreturned LC to Seller. 
  

 34 

 (iii) Seller shall maintain and keep in place each Unreturned LC with the respective
beneficiary thereof until the earlier of (x) the Unreturned LC being returned to Seller in exchange for a Replacement LC or (y) there being no further legal obligation or requirement to maintain and keep in place such Unreturned LC.

 (d) The rights and obligations of the parties with respect to each Back-to-Back LC will be governed by the following
provisions after the Closing: 
 (i) Purchaser may (x) cause the financial institution that issued any Back-to-Back LC to
extend the expiry date thereof at any time and from time to time and/or (y) replace any Back-to-Back LC with another unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit issued to Seller, as beneficiary, by a financial institution reasonably
acceptable to Seller, in the same amount as the Back-to-Back LC that it is replacing and in a form reasonably approved by Seller. Any letter of credit accepted by Seller in replacement of a Back-to-Back LC shall thereafter be a Back-to-Back LC for
all purposes hereof. 
 (ii) Seller will have the right to make draws on the Back-to-Back LCs as follows: 
 (A) Seller will have the right to make a draw for the full amount of any Back-to-Back LC if the expiry date of such Back-to-Back LC is
less than 90 days from the date of such draw. 
 (B) If the beneficiary of an LN LC should make a draw on such LN LC, then
Seller may make a draw on the corresponding Back-to-Back LC in the same amount drawn on such LN LC. 
 (iii) All proceeds
received by Seller from draws on any Back-to-Back LC shall be applied, held and disbursed by Seller to reimburse to Seller for any amounts drawn under the corresponding LN LC. Any other proceeds received by Seller from draws on any Back-to-Back LC
shall be held and invested by Seller (all such proceeds, together with the earnings thereon, are herein called the “Unapplied Proceeds”) as security for the obligations of Seller under and in respect of the corresponding LN LC.

 SECTION 5.13 Ticketing Agent. Purchaser has executed and entered into a contract with a ticketing agent of its choice for the sale
of tickets in connection with the operation of the business of the Target Group Companies after the Closing Date. Accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges that (i) the Target Group Companies will not, from and after the Closing Date, be entitled to
rely upon or utilize the benefits of the Seller’s existing contract with its ticketing agent that the Target Group Companies have been utilizing prior to the Closing Date and (ii) Seller shall have no liability or responsibility to
Purchaser or the Target Group Companies with respect to any matters after the Closing Date related to the services of the ticketing agent for the business of the Target Group Companies. 
 SECTION 5.14 Transition Services. If requested in writing by Purchaser prior to the Closing, the Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver at
the Closing a transition services agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which Seller will provide, on the terms and conditions and for the fees and charges, set
forth in the Transition Services Agreement designated support services (including data processing, risk management, legal, human resources and accounting services) customarily provided to the Target Group Companies by the Seller Group Companies.
Such services shall be provided for the fees set forth in the Transition Services Agreement. 
  

 35 

 SECTION 5.15 Customer Database. 
 (a) Seller confirms that the Target Group Companies shall be, as of the Closing Date, in possession of and have available for their use a
database containing the following information: (1) the electronic customer database related to “Broadway Across America”; (2) the name, address and other available identifying information for customers who have purchased a ticket
within at least the two years prior to the Closing Date to a live theatrical performance presented by the Target Group Companies in the Purchased Presenting Business; and (3) a record of transactions between such customer within at least the
last two years prior to the Closing Date and one or more of the Target Group Companies related to the Purchased Presenting Business (“Customer Database”); provided, however, it is understood that transactions by such
customers regarding Seller’s concert, motorsports and other businesses shall not be included in the Customer Database. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates (including the Target Group
Companies after the Closing) shall be entitled to (x) any credit card information, social security numbers and similar personal information or (y) any customer information or records of transactions relating to individuals who were known
to be minors at the time such information was collected, and to the extent Purchaser or its Affiliates inadvertently obtains such information, (i) neither Purchaser nor its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies) shall use, disclose
or maintain such information in any way and (ii) Purchaser shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be discarded, deleted or destroyed in an appropriate manner. 
 (b) With regard to the Customer Database, the parties agree as follows: 
 (i) Purchaser agrees that it will be deemed to have reviewed each of the privacy policies that relate to the information contained in the
Customer Database; 
 (ii) The Parties acknowledge that they have together agreed not to obtain any “opt-in” or
“opt-out” consent prior to the Closing in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; 
 (iii)
After the Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Target Group Companies to obtain the consent (either through an “opt-in” or “opt-out” mechanism, as applicable and in accordance with applicable Law and contract) of customers listed
in the Customer Database to the continued use by the Target Group Companies (or any other Person) after the Closing of such customers’ information; 
 (iv) After the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies) shall use the Customer Database only in connection with a business similar to the Purchased Presenting Business and only for
the use for which such information was collected; 
 (v) The Customer Database is available to the Target Group Companies on
an “AS IS, WHERE IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS” basis. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller makes no representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Customer Database, including, without limitation, as to
its “merchantability,” “fitness for use” or any other warranty related to its accuracy, completeness, condition, usability, fitness, or absence of defects, all of which are specifically disclaimed. Further, Seller makes no
representation or warranty whatsoever in respect of whether the use by the Target Group Companies or any of their Affiliates after the Closing of the Customer Database (whether or not in accordance with any of terms and conditions set forth in this
Section 5.15) complies with the privacy policies and Laws applicable to the Customer Database; and 
  

 36 

 (vi) Pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.2(b)(iii), Purchaser shall indemnify
the Seller Group Companies, its Affiliates and other designated indemnified Persons for the use of the Customer Database after the Closing. 
 (c) Nothing herein shall in any way restrict or limit Seller or its Affiliates at any time to use the Customer Database or any other customer database in its retained businesses. 
 SECTION 5.16 Exclusivity and Non-Compete. 
 (a) Establishment, Operation or Acquisition of any Presenting Business. The Parties agree that Seller and its Affiliates shall not for a period of five years after the Closing Date establish, operate or acquire
ownership of any Presenting Business anywhere in the United States of America, Canada or any of their respective territories. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties agree as follows: 
 (i) The foregoing covenant shall not apply to or otherwise restrict Seller or its Affiliates with respect to the events to be presented or
promoted in the entertainment venues that Seller or any of its Affiliates now own, manage, book and/or operate (including any venues owned, managed, booked or operated through a joint venture or partnership with a third party); 
 (ii) With respect to entertainment venues that Seller or any of its Affiliates shall hereafter purchase or otherwise acquire the right to
manage or operate (including any venues hereafter owned, managed or operated through a joint venture or partnership with a third party), the foregoing covenant shall not apply provided: (A) Purchaser is offered a right to bid to provide any
subscription series for Theatrical Shows in such venue (provided that if there is a pre-existing contract related to any subscription series for Theatrical Shows at such venue, then such right to bid will only apply after expiration of such
pre-existing contract); or (B) the presentation of Theatrical Shows is an Incidental (as hereinafter defined) portion of such venue’s offerings. 
 (iii) Venues for which Purchaser or its Affiliates do not control the decision to permit a Presenting Business to be operated in such venue will not be subject to the covenants contained in this Section 5.16(a)
even if Purchaser or its Affiliates manages or otherwise oversees the operation of such venue. 
 (iv) The foregoing covenant
shall not prevent or restrict the Seller or its Affiliates from producing Theatrical Shows or investing in the production of Theatrical Shows, including Theatrical Shows that are placed on tour and/or included in one or more subscription series of

opportunity to co-invest in the production thereof pari passu with third party investors. 
 (v) The foregoing covenant shall
not prevent or restrict the Seller or its Affiliates from conducting any business of any kind in the United Kingdom, Ireland or any of their respective territories or dominions or in other locations outside of the United States, Canada and their
respective territories. 
  

 37 

 (vi) Notwithstanding Sections 5.16(a)(i) and (ii) above, Seller and its Affiliates
shall not engage in the production or Presenting Business of family or children’s Theatrical Shows (such as, by way of example only, “Dora The Explorer” and “Blues Clues”) for a period of five years after the Closing Date;
provided this covenant shall not (A) apply to any family or children’s Theatrical Show in which a touring concert performer with whom Seller has a business relationship has a material role as a performer or a creator or (B) prohibit
the making of a financial investment in a family or children’s Theatrical Show being produced by an unaffiliated party. 
 (vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.16, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed in such a fashion as to amend or invalidate any existing presentation agreements or booking agreements with any
Person, including the Target Group Companies, that are in effect now or at the time a venue hereafter becomes subject to this provision. 
 (b) First Class Legitimate Theaters in Certain Markets. The Parties agree that the Seller and its Affiliates will not for a period of five years after the Closing Date own or otherwise control a First Class
Legitimate Theater in any of the following markets: (i) Baltimore, (ii) Minneapolis, (iii) Boston and (iv) Toronto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, 
 (i) It is understood by the Parties that Seller will continue to own and/or operate the Boston Opera House in Boston after the Closing and
such ownership and/or operation will not be considered a violation of this provision. 
 (ii) The parties expressly
acknowledge and agree that a purchase or other acquisition of a First Class Legitimate Theater by Seller or any of its Affiliates shall not be a violation of the covenant contained in this Section 5.16(b) if (A) the use of such venue is
changed as soon as commercially reasonable after completion of such acquisition such that the presentation of Theatrical Shows becomes Incidental (as hereinafter defined) to the operation of such venue or Incidental (as hereinafter defined) to such
venue’s other uses or (B) Purchaser is offered a right to bid to provide any subscription series for Theatrical Shows in such First Class Legitimate Theater (provided that if there is a pre-existing contract related to any subscription
series for Theatrical Shows at such First Class Legitimate Theater, then such right to bid will only apply after expiration of such pre-existing contract). 
 (iii) The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the covenant contained in this Section 5.16(b) shall not be violated as a result of Seller or any of its Affiliates acquiring the right to manage a First
Class Legitimate Theater; provided, if such right to manage includes the right to control the content to be presented in such First Class Legitimate Theater, then clause (ii) will apply in lieu of this clause (iii) in the same
manner as if such First Class Legitimate Theater had been acquired by Seller or its Affiliates. 
  

 38 

 (c) Definition of “Incidental”. As used herein, the meaning of the term
“Incidental” shall be determined as follows: 
 (i) For purposes of Section 5.16(a),
“Incidental” shall mean, with respect to any entertainment venue, the presentation of Theatrical Shows in such entertainment venue for a number of weeks equal to or less than one-third (1/3) of (x) the highest number of

 (f) Right to Invest in Other Persons. Notwithstanding the above, Seller and its Affiliates may make investments in other Persons
(regardless of the type of business that such Person may operate) without violating the covenants and restrictions contained in this Section 5.16, provided such investment does not represent a controlling ownership interest in such Person or
otherwise give veto power to Seller and/or its Affiliates with respect to the operations or booking of any of the venues managed, owned or operated by such Person. 
 (g) Non-Applicability to Chicago. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of clauses (a) through

whether the use of such Applicable Chicago Theater is being changed as soon as commercially reasonable, it will be commercially reasonable to fulfill and
honor any existing contractual arrangement for the presentation of Theatrical Shows at such Applicable Chicago Theater that are in place at the time of the purchase or other acquisition thereof but it will not be commercially reasonable to extend,
renew or replace (other than any extension effected pursuant to the exercise of a unilateral option held by the other party pursuant to the terms of such existing contractual arrangement) any such existing contractual arrangement for the
presentation of Theatrical Shows at such Applicable Chicago Theater after the purchase or other acquisition thereof; or 
 (B) no subscription series of Theatrical Shows are operated in such Applicable Chicago Theater other than a subscription series operated by a third party unrelated to Seller but then only if the Purchaser is offered a right to bid to
provide any such subscription series for Theatrical Shows in such Applicable Chicago Theater (except that if there is a pre-existing contract related to any subscription series for Theatrical Shows at such Applicable Chicago Theater, then such right
to bid will only apply after expiration of such pre-existing contract). 
 (ii) Management Exception. The covenant
contained in this Section 5.16(h) shall not be violated as a result of Seller or any of its Affiliates acquiring the right to manage an Applicable Chicago Theater; provided, if such right to manage includes the right to control the
content to be presented in such Applicable Chicago Theater, then clause (i) will apply in lieu of this clause (ii) in the same manner as if such Applicable Chicago Theater had been acquired by Seller or its Affiliates. 
 (iii) BIC Transaction Waiver/Amendment. Reference is made to the fact that Seller has undertaken a covenant that is substantially
similar to the provisions of this Section 5.16(h) as a part of the BIC Transaction (the “BIC Chicago Ownership Covenant”). If the purchaser in the BIC Transaction should agree to amend or waive any of the provisions of the BIC
Chicago Ownership Covenant for the benefit of Seller, then such amendment or waiver shall also apply to the provisions contained in this Section 5.16(h) in the same manner and to the same extent as if Purchaser had agreed to the same amendment
or waiver for the benefit of Seller. 
 (iv) Definitions. As used herein, the meaning of (x) the term
“de minimis” shall mean, with respect to any Applicable Chicago Theater, that there are less than eight (8) weeks of Theatrical Shows presented per year in such Applicable Chicago Theater and (y) the term
“BIC Transaction” shall refer to the sale by Seller of its interest in Broadway in Chicago, LLC and related assets to certain entities controlled by James L. Nederlander. 
 (i) Effect on Default under Minneapolis Guaranty. If Purchaser should ever default under the Assumption Agreement with respect to
the Minneapolis Guaranty and Seller or any of its Affiliates should thereafter acquire the right to manage, operate, possess, use or exploit any one or more of the Pantages Theater, The State Theater and the Orpheum Theater in Minneapolis
(collectively, the “Minneapolis Theaters”) in connection with or as a result of such default under the Assumption Agreement with respect to the Minneapolis Guaranty, then the provisions of this Section 5.16 shall no longer
apply to or otherwise restrict, limit or impact any activities by Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Minneapolis Theaters.

 SECTION 5.17 Canadian Tax Clearance Certificate. If Seller does not provide Purchaser with a
certificate issued by the Minister of National Revenue under subsection 116(2) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) on or before Closing with a certificate limit at least equal to the TCN Price, Purchaser shall withhold from the Equity
Consideration an amount equal to 25% of the TCN Price (the “Retained Amount”). The Retained Amount shall be deposited in an in interest-bearing account and shall be dealt with it as follows: 
 (a) If Seller delivers to Purchaser, not later than the 27th day of the month following the month in which the Closing occurs (the “Due Date”), either (i) a certificate issued by the Minister of
National Revenue pursuant to subsection 116(4) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) in connection with the sale of the TCN Shares or (ii) a certificate issued by the Minister of National Revenue under subsection 116(2) in respect of such sale
with a certificate limit at least equal to the TCN Price, then Purchaser will pay forthwith to Seller the Retained Amount together with any interest earned on the Retained Amount (net of any applicable tax); 
 (b) If Seller delivers to Purchaser not later than the Due Date, a certificate under subsection 116(2) of the Income Tax Act
(Canada) in respect of the disposition of the TCN Shares with a certificate limit less than the TCN Price, Purchaser will pay to the Receiver General for Canada within 30 days after the end of the month in which the Closing occurs an amount equal to
25% of the amount by which the TCN Price exceeds such certificate limit and pay to the Seller the balance of the Retained Amount together with any interest earned on the Retained Amount (net of any applicable tax); 
 (c) If a certificate under subsection 116(2) or 116(4) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) is not delivered as contemplated in
paragraphs (a) or (b) above and no Comfort Letter (as defined below) is provided to Purchaser by the Due Date, Purchaser shall pay the Retained Amount to the Receiver General for Canada within 30 days after the end of the month in which
the Closing occurs; 
 (d) If a certificate under subsection 116(2) or 116(4) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) is not
delivered as contemplated in paragraphs (a) or (b) above but a Comfort Letter (as defined below) is provided to Purchaser by the Due Date, Purchaser shall continue to hold the Retained Amount in escrow in accordance with the terms of the
Comfort Letter, and any interest or other income earned in connection with the Retained Amount from the Closing to the remittance date (net of any applicable taxes) will be paid promptly by the Purchaser to the Seller; or 
 (e) If, following the Closing, the Minister of National Revenue indicates in writing to the Purchaser that it will issue a certificate
pursuant to Section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of the TCN Shares upon the payment of an amount (the “Tax Amount”) that does not exceed the Retained Amount, then Purchaser shall remit the Tax Amount to the
Receiver General as payment of the Tax Amount. Upon delivery of such certificate pursuant to Section 116 of the Income Tax Act (Canada), the Purchaser shall release to the Seller the Retained Amount (plus interest thereon, less any applicable
taxes) less the Tax Amount. 
 In this section “Comfort Letter” means a letter from the Canada Revenue Agency addressed to Purchaser confirming to
Purchaser’s satisfaction, acting reasonably, that Purchaser need not remit any amount in respect of the purchase and sale of the TCN Shares under subsection 116(5) of the Income Tax Act (Canada) until further notification by the Canada
Revenue Agency and until such further notification will not be liable under the Income Tax Act (Canada) in respect of income taxes, interest or penalties arising from such sale. The provisions of this Section 5.17 shall apply mutatis
mutandis in respect of each payment made by Purchaser to Seller in respect of the purchase and sale of the TCN Shares pursuant to the Agreement.

(a) At and after the Closing, all Employees who are employed with any of the Target Group Companies following the Closing Date and
those employees of the Seller Group Companies listed on Schedule 6.1(a) who have been assigned to the Target Group Companies (all of the foregoing employees being herein collectively called the “Continued Employees”) will
cease to participate in any and all of the Employee Benefit Plans other than, with respect to any Canadian Employees, the Canadian Employee Benefit Plans. 
 (b) At and after the Closing, the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies) shall pay, discharge and be responsible for all salary, wages, severance costs, benefits and claims (including

 For purposes of allocating responsibility under this Section 6.1, a medical claim is deemed incurred when the services that are the subject of the
claim are performed; in the case of hospitalization, upon commencement of hospitalization; in the case of life insurance, when the death occurs; in the case of long-term disability benefits, the later of when the disability is determined to have

 SECTION 6.2 Continuation of Benefits. As of the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall permit the Continued Employees to participate in the employee
benefit and welfare plans (or, with respect to the Canadian Employees, to continue to participate in the Canadian Employee Benefit Plans or suitable replacement plans) of the Purchaser or its Affiliates (the “Purchaser Plans”). For
purposes of vesting, eligibility and calculation of severance payments, all Continued Employees shall retain their respective levels of seniority and shall, where applicable, receive full credit under the Purchaser Plans for all service with the
Target Group Companies prior to the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall, where applicable, waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements under the Purchaser
Plans and provide each Continued Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Closing in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under the Purchaser Plans. 
  

 42 

 SECTION 6.3 Liability After the Closing. Except as provided in Schedule 6.3, following the
Closing, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold the Seller and its Affiliates harmless from and against, any Losses incurred by any of them arising from or relating to any acts or omissions of the Purchaser
or its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies) in connection with the employment or termination of Continued Employees. 
 SECTION
6.4 Individual Account Plan. With respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that is attributable to elective deferral contributions and matching contributions in connection with such elective deferral contributions within the meaning of Sections
401(k) and 401(m) of the Code, within thirty (30) Business Days following Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause Purchaser’s qualified retirement plan, if it does not already so provide, to be amended to permit the Continued Employees to roll
over their account balances (including any outstanding loans) to Purchaser’s qualified retirement plan, and Purchaser shall allow Continued Employees to so roll over such account balances (including any outstanding loans). 
 SECTION 6.5 COBRA. Seller shall provide all required notifications under Section 601 of ERISA, et. seq., to Employees (and their
qualified beneficiaries) who lose coverage under Seller’s health plans as a result of the transactions contemplated herein. Purchaser shall (i) assume any and all obligations to provide continuation coverage pursuant to Section 601 of
ERISA, et. seq., with respect to Continued Employees and their qualified beneficiaries (excluding any individual who became a qualified beneficiary prior to Closing), and (ii) indemnify the Seller Group Companies for any and all
Liabilities that the Seller Group Companies may incur as a result of Purchaser’s failure to provide continuation coverage to any Continued Employee or qualified beneficiary (excluding any individual who became a qualified beneficiary prior to
Closing), including, but not limited to, any Liabilities or excise taxes arising pursuant to Code Section 4980B. 
 SECTION 6.6
WARN. Prior to Closing, Seller shall comply, and cause the Target Group Companies to comply, with any obligations under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, as amended (“WARN”) and other applicable worker
compensation legislation to the extent events implicating WARN or such other applicable worker compensation legislation occur prior to or at the Closing. 
 SECTION 6.7 No Other Rights. Without limiting or restricting the provisions of Section 11.11, nothing in this Article VI or elsewhere in the Agreement shall be deemed to create or confer any rights or
remedies (including any agreement for employment or other benefits) to any Person other than the Parties. 
 ARTICLE VII 
 TAX MATTERS 
 SECTION 7.1
Preparation and Filing of Returns. For any Straddle Period of the Target Group Companies, Purchaser shall timely prepare and file with the appropriate Tax Authority all Returns required to be filed and shall pay all Taxes due with respect to
such Returns, and such Returns shall be prepared reasonably consistently with past practices; provided, however, that Seller shall reimburse Purchaser (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 9.4(e)) for any amount
owed by Seller pursuant to Section 9.4 with respect to any Straddle Period covered by such Returns. Subject to Section 7.4, for any taxable period of the Target Group Companies that ends on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall timely
prepare and provide to the Target Group Companies for filing with the appropriate Tax Authority all Returns required to be filed and shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Returns and 

  

 43 

 
such Returns shall be prepared reasonably consistently with past practices. Purchaser and Seller agree to cause the Target Group Companies (other than the
Canadian Subsidiaries) to file all Returns for the period including the Closing Date on the basis that the relevant taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date, unless the relevant Taxing Authority will not accept a Return
filed on that basis. With respect to the Canadian Subsidiaries, Purchaser and Seller agree that the taxable period ending with respect to the Closing Date shall be deemed to have ended at 11:59 p.m on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

 SECTION 7.2 Mutual Cooperation, Access and Assistance. Seller, the Target Group Companies and Purchaser shall fully cooperate to
the extent reasonably requested, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and other representatives to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other
all records reasonably necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all disputes and audits with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes. Purchaser and Seller recognize that Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates will need
access, from time to time, after the Closing Date, to certain accounting and Tax records and information with respect to the Target Group Companies to the extent such records and information pertain to events occurring prior to the Closing Date;
therefore, Seller and Purchaser agree, and Purchaser agrees to cause the Target Group Companies, (i) to use their best efforts to retain and maintain such records until such time as Seller and Purchaser agree that the retention and maintenance
is no longer necessary and to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, Seller or the Target Group Companies, as the case may be,
shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records, and (ii) to allow Seller, Purchaser, and their respective agents and other representatives (and agents or other representatives of any of their respective Affiliates), at
times and dates mutually acceptable to the parties, to inspect, review and make copies of such records as the requesting party may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time, such activities to be conducted during normal business
hours and at the requesting party’s expense. Neither the Purchaser nor any of the Target Group Companies (nor any transferee) shall file or cause to be filed any amended Return of any of the Target Group Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period
without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in its reasonable discretion. 
 SECTION 7.3 Refunds, Credits
and Offsets. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the Target Group Companies, or of any consolidated, combined, unitary, affiliated or aggregate group of which the Target Group Companies is or has been a
member, for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the Target Group Companies for any taxable period beginning after
the Closing Date, or, solely, for Canadian tax purposes, on or after the Closing Date, shall be for the account of Purchaser. The amount or economic benefit of any refunds, credits or offsets of Taxes of the Target Group Companies for any Straddle
Period (other than, solely for Canadian tax purposes, a taxable period that begins on the Closing Date) shall be equitably apportioned between Seller and Purchaser. Provided that the non-requesting party, acting in good faith, determines that there
is a reasonable basis for filing a claim with the relevant Taxing Authority, and that the filing of such claim will not result in an increase in the Tax liability of such non-requesting party, each party shall, if the other party so requests and at
such other party’s sole expense, cause the Target Group Companies to file for and obtain any refunds, credits or offsets to Taxes to which the requesting party is entitled under this Section. Purchaser shall permit Seller to control the
prosecution of any such claim relating solely to one or more taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and, shall cause each of the Target Group Companies to cooperate as reasonably necessary for Seller to prosecute such refund claim.
Each party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the party entitled pursuant to this Section to receive the amount or economic benefit of a refund, credit or offset to Tax, the amount of such refund, or the economic benefit of
such credit or offset to Tax, within 15 days after such refund is received or 

  

 44 

 
after such credit or offset is allowed or applied against other Tax liability, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the control of the
prosecution of a claim for refund of Taxes paid pursuant to a deficiency assessed subsequent to the Closing Date as a result of an audit shall be governed by the provisions of Section 9.4(e). Purchaser agrees that it shall not cause or permit
the Target Group Companies to carry back to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date any net operating loss, loss from operations or other Tax attribute, and further agrees that Seller have no obligation under this Agreement to
return or remit any refund or other Tax benefit attributable to a breach by Purchaser of the foregoing undertaking. 
 SECTION 7.4
Examination Adjustments. Seller shall be responsible for filing any amended consolidated, combined or unitary Returns for taxable years ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are required as a result of examination adjustments made by
the Internal Revenue Service or by the applicable state, local or foreign Taxing Authorities for such taxable years as finally determined. For those jurisdictions in which Separate Returns are filed by the Target Group Companies, any required
amended Returns resulting from such examination adjustments, as finally determined, shall be prepared by Seller and furnished to such Target Group Company for review and comment and filing at least 30 days prior to the due date for filing such
Returns. 
 SECTION 7.5 Other Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and other such Taxes (including all
applicable real estate transfer Taxes, but excluding any Taxes based on or attributable to income or gains) and related fees (including any penalties, interest and additions to Tax) incurred in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction
Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate timely in making all filings, returns, reports and forms as may be required to comply with the provisions of
such Tax laws. 
 SECTION 7.6 Termination of Tax Sharing Agreement. Seller shall cause the provisions of any Tax sharing agreement
between Seller or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Target Group Companies on the other hand, to be terminated on or before the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, no party shall have any rights or obligations under any such Tax
sharing agreement. 
 SECTION 7.7 Treatment of Tax Indemnity Payments. Seller and Purchaser agree to treat any amounts payable
pursuant to Article IX as an adjustment to the Total Consideration Amount, unless a final determination causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Total Consideration Amount for Federal income tax purposes. 
 SECTION 7.8 Timing of Non-Ordinary Course Transactions on the Closing Date. Purchaser and Seller agree to report for income Tax purposes all
transactions approved by Purchaser which are not in the ordinary course of business and which occur on the Closing Date after Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares as occurring at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date to the extent
permitted by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B), and Purchaser agrees to indemnify Seller for any additional Taxes owed by any of the Seller Group Companies resulting from any such transaction. 
  

 45

to the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization), 3.2 (Authority; Enforceability), 3.5 (Capital Stock of the Target Parent Companies), 3.6(a) (Target Subsidiaries), 3.10(d) (No Liens on

claim, until such claim has been finally resolved. 
 SECTION 9.2 Indemnification other than for Tax Matters. 
 (a) From and after the Closing, Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective, officers, directors, employees and agents shall
be indemnified and held harmless by Seller for any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs and expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) actually suffered or incurred by
them (hereinafter a “Loss”), arising out of or resulting from: 
 (i) the breach of any representation or
warranty made by Seller in this Agreement; 
 (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement by Seller contained in this
Agreement; 
 (iii) that certain Mortgage and Security Agreement encumbering the Charles Playhouse in Boston, Massachusetts

 (iv) any matter disclosed in Schedule 3.13, other than any claim arising under item 7 listed under “Pending and
Threatened Litigation” which is subject to indemnification by Purchaser under Section 9.2(b)(iv); 
 (v) any
violation by Seller of the Minneapolis Excluded Obligations, including a draw under any letter of credit supplied by Purchaser to the City of Minneapolis solely as a result of a violation of Section 9 of the Minneapolis Guaranty (provided,
however, if as a result of a violation of the Minneapolis Excluded Obligations, Seller is required to prepay all lease payments under the lease of the Minneapolis 

  

 47 

 
Theaters, Seller shall be subrogated to the position of the landlord under such lease as to such lease payments, after which time, the tenant under such
lease shall continue to make lease payments in accordance therewith to Seller as if there had been no acceleration of the lease payments); or 
 (vi) any claim described on Schedule 9.2(a)(vi) hereof. 
 The foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(a) shall
not apply with respect to any Losses arising out of (and no indemnification hereunder shall be available with respect to) any (A) breach of any representation or warranty of Seller that is terminated as provided in Section 9.1 or

Seller agrees that any knowledge or information of, or acquired by or on behalf of, Purchaser through due diligence or otherwise shall not be a defense to Seller from, or serve as any limitation on Purchaser to make, claims under
Section 9.2(a)(ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Agreement. 
 (b) From and after the Closing, the Seller Group
Companies and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents shall be indemnified and held harmless by Purchaser for any and all Losses arising out of or resulting from:

 (iv) any claim described on Schedule 9.2(b)(iv) hereof 
 The foregoing provisions of this Section 9.2(b) shall not apply with respect to any Losses arising out of (and no indemnification hereunder shall be available with respect to) any (A) breach of any
representation or warranty of Purchaser that is terminated as provided in Section 9.1 and (B) breaches of the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement (other than any breach of the representation and warranty

 (c) Any party seeking indemnification under this Section 9.2 (an “Indemnified
Party”) shall give the party from whom indemnification is being sought (an “Indemnifying Party”) notice of any matter which such Indemnified Party has determined has given or could 

  

 48 

 
give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a
reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The liability of an Indemnifying Party under this Section 9.2 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party
which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.2 (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions: 
 (i) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice
of such Third Party Claim within 20 days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this
Section 9.2 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. 
 (ii) The
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within 20 days of the receipt of
such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if there exists a material conflict of interest (other than one that is of a monetary nature) that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties, taken together. 
 (iii) In the event the
Indemnifying Party exercises the right created in clause (ii) to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make
available to the Indemnifying Party, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying
Party. 
 (iv) In the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third
Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under
the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. 
 (v) The
Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by
the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a written release from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (ii) settle or compromise any Third Party Claim if the settlement imposes equitable remedies or material
obligations on the Indemnified Party other than financial obligations for which such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. 
 (vi) No Third Party Claim which is being defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be settled or compromised by the Indemnified Party without the written
consent of the Indemnifying Party. 
  

 49 

 (vii) If Indemnifying Party does not defend such Third Party Claim in good faith in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle or compromise such Third Party Claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party. 
 (d) For purposes of determining whether a breach or default of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this
Agreement has occurred and calculating the amount of Losses arising from any breach or default of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the applicable provision shall be read and interpreted as
if any qualification or limitation stated therein with respect to materiality or material adverse effect was not contained therein. 
 (e) The respective indemnification obligations of the parties with respect to Tax matters shall be governed by Section 9.4 and this Section 9.2 shall not be applicable to any such matters. 
 SECTION 9.3 Limits on Indemnification. 
 (a) No amount shall be payable by any Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) or 9.2(b)(i) unless the aggregate amount of Loss indemnifiable under Section 9.2(a)(i) or 9.2(b)(i), as applicable,
exceeds $2,000,000 (at which time, all Losses including those used to meet such threshold shall be subject to indemnification hereunder), except that such limitation shall not apply to or limit the rights of Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i)
hereof with respect to or arising out of a breach of the representation made by Purchaser in Section 4.7 hereof. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the aggregate amount of Losses which may be recovered from Seller arising out of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 9.2(a)(i), or from Purchaser arising out
of or resulting from the causes enumerated in Section 9.2(b)(i) shall not exceed $20,000,000, except that such limitation shall not apply to claims arising under the Indefinitely Surviving Representations or the Tax Indemnifications.

 (c) In addition to any other limitations on indemnification that may apply, with respect to any claim for indemnification
that Purchaser may assert regarding Environmental Laws or Hazardous Materials in connection with the Company Theaters, Seller shall have no obligation with respect to such claim to the extent that the Losses for which indemnification is sought arise
out of any action that is not required by applicable Environmental Law or the applicable lease for the continued use of such Company Theater as it is used as of the date hereof. In addition, with respect to any claim that is the subject of this
Section 9.3(c); (x) it is a condition precedent to any right of Purchaser to indemnification for such claim that, to the extent practicable, prior to incurring substantial costs with respect to such claim for which it may seek
indemnification, Purchaser shall notify Seller of such claim and afford Seller the opportunity to evaluate the conditions giving rise to such claim; (y) if requested by Seller, Seller (at its sole expense) shall be entitled (but not obligated)
to undertake, with Purchaser’s continued oversight, participation and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any investigation, remediation, or other action required or permitted by applicable Environmental Law or the terms of
any binding lease (and any negotiation with regulatory authorities or landlords regarding same), and in the course thereof shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid any unreasonable interference with 

  

 50 

 
Purchaser’s operations, and Purchaser shall afford Seller reasonable access to undertake any such investigation, remediation, or other action; and
(z) Purchaser, the Seller Group Companies and the Target Group Companies shall exchange information and otherwise cooperate in order to facilitate the expeditious and cost-effective resolution of such claim. 
 SECTION 9.4 Tax Indemnification. 
 (a) Following the Closing, Seller shall indemnify Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies) and its officers, directors, employees and agents and hold them harmless from (i) all
liability for Taxes of the Target Group Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax Period, (ii) all liability (as a result of Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6(a) or otherwise) for Taxes of Seller or any other Seller Group Company, (iii) any
breach by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than breaches occurring after the Closing by the Target Group Companies) of any covenant contained in Article VII and (iv) all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses) of asserting or defending any claims for Taxes described in subsections (i) and (ii) of this Section 9.4(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not indemnify and hold harmless any of Purchaser, its Affiliates or
officers, directors, employees or agents from any liability for Taxes attributable to any action taken after the Closing by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies), or any transferee of Purchaser or any of its
Affiliates (other than any such action expressly required by applicable Law or contemplated by this Agreement) (a “Purchaser Tax Act”) or attributable to a breach by Purchaser of any covenant contained in Article VII of this
Agreement. Estimated Taxes paid by or on behalf of the Target Group Companies on or prior to the Closing Date shall be credited to Taxes with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period. 
 (b) Following the Closing, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Target Group Companies to, indemnify Seller and its Affiliates and their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents and hold them harmless from (i) all liability for Taxes of the Target Group Companies for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date (except to the extent such taxable period began
before the Closing Date, in which case Purchaser’s indemnity will cover only that portion of any such Taxes that are not attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period), (ii) all liability for Taxes attributable to a Purchaser Tax Act or to a
breach by Purchaser of any covenant contained in Article VII of this Agreement and (iii) all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of asserting or defending any claims for Taxes described in (i) of
this Section 9.4(b). 
 (c) In the case of any Straddle Period: 
 (i) real, personal and intangible Property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) of the Target Group Companies for the Pre-Closing Tax
Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of
which is the total number of days in the Straddle Period; 
 (ii) other than in the case of Taxes imposed under the Income Tax
Act (Canada) and corresponding provincial statutes in respect of the Canadian Subsidiaries, the Taxes of the Target Group Companies (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of
the close of business on the Closing Date; and 
  

 51 

 (iii) in the case of Taxes imposed under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and corresponding
provincial statutes in respect of the Canadian Subsidiaries, the Taxes of the Canadian Subsidiaries (other than Property Taxes) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the day
preceding the Closing Date. 
 (d) Seller’s indemnity obligation hereunder in respect of Taxes for a Straddle Period
shall initially be effected by its payment to Purchaser of the excess of (i) such Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period over (ii) the amount of such Taxes with respect to the Target Group Companies paid by any of the Seller Group Companies
at any time plus the amount of such Taxes paid by the Target Group Companies on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall pay such excess to Purchaser after written demand thereof is made by Purchaser (but not earlier than 5 days before the date on
which the Taxes for the relevant taxable period are required to be paid to the relevant Taxing Authority). If the amount of such Taxes paid by the Seller Group Companies at any time plus the amount of such Taxes paid by the Target Group Companies on
or prior to the Closing Date exceeds the amount of such Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of such excess within 30 days after the Return with respect to the final liability for such Taxes is required to
be filed with the relevant Taxing Authority. The payments to be made pursuant to this paragraph by Seller or Purchaser with respect to a Straddle Period shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect any final determination (which shall include the
execution of Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to Straddle Period Taxes. 
 (e) With respect to tax claims:

 (i) If a claim shall be made by any Taxing Authority, which, if successful, might result in an indemnity payment to a party
(the “First Party”), one of its Affiliates or any of its officers, directors, employees or agents pursuant to this Section 9.4, the First Party shall promptly and in any event no more than 30 days following the First
Party’s receipt of such claim, give written notice to the other party (the “Second Party”) of such claim (a “Tax Claim”); provided, however, the failure of the First Party to give such notice
shall only relieve the Second Party from its indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent it is actually prejudiced by such failure. 
 (ii) With respect to any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (or, solely for Canadian income tax purposes, ending on the day prior to the Closing Date) for Taxes for which
Seller is responsible for indemnifying under the terms of this Agreement, Seller shall control all proceedings and may make all decisions taken in connection with such Tax Claim (including selection of counsel) and, without limiting the foregoing,
may in its sole discretion pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Taxing Authority with respect thereto, and may, in its sole discretion, either pay the Tax claimed and sue for a refund
where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest the Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that Seller shall not, without the consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) take any
such action with respect to a Separate Return that would materially increase Taxes for any taxable period beginning on or after the Closing Date (or, solely for Canadian income tax purposes, beginning on the Closing Date) for which Purchaser or the
Target Group Companies would be responsible under this Agreement. Subject to the following sentence, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any Tax Claim relating solely to Taxes of the Target Group
Companies for a Straddle Period. Purchaser shall control all proceedings with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period beginning after (or, solely for Canadian income tax purposes, on or after) the Closing Date. 
  

 52 

 (iii) Seller, Purchaser, the Target Group Companies and each of their respective
Affiliates shall fully cooperate to the extent reasonably requested with each other in contesting any Tax Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon the request of the party or parties controlling proceedings relating to such Tax
Claim, the provision to such party or parties of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Tax Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information or explanation of any material
provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim. 
 (iv) In no case shall any of Purchaser or any
of the Target Group Companies settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Claim relating to a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date (or, solely for Canadian income tax purposes, ending on the day prior to the Closing Date) without
Seller’s prior written consent. None of the Seller Group Companies, the Purchaser and Purchaser’s Affiliates (including the Target Group Companies) shall settle a Tax Claim relating to Taxes of the Target Group Companies for a Straddle
Period (other than, solely for Canadian income tax purposes, any such period that begins on the Closing Date) without the prior written consent of both Seller and Purchaser. In no case shall Seller settle or otherwise compromise any Tax Claim
relating to a taxable period beginning after (or, solely for Canadian income tax purposes, on or after) the Closing Date without Purchaser’s prior written consent. In the event that any party violates the provisions of this paragraph (relating
to the settlement or compromise of Tax Claims), such party shall not be entitled to any indemnity payments with respect to such Tax Claim pursuant to this Section but only to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced. 

(f) indemnification provisions in this Agreement relating to Taxes shall survive the Closing until 90 days after the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations. 
 SECTION 9.5 Computation of Indemnifiable Losses. Any amount payable pursuant to this Article IX
shall be decreased or returned to the Indemnifying Party in the amount of (i) any net reduction in Tax liability that is realized by the recipient of such amount upon the payment of or as a result of, an indemnifiable Loss and (ii) any
insurance proceeds received by the recipient of such amount in respect of an indemnifiable Loss. 
 SECTION 9.6 Indemnification as
Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification provided in this Article IX, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the exclusive post-Closing remedy available to any Party in connection with any Losses arising out of or resulting from this
Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, any of the Company Theaters or otherwise regarding the Target Group Companies. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the indemnification provided in this Article IX shall not be the exclusive post-closing
remedy or otherwise limit the Purchaser’s remedies with respect to claims arising from Seller’s fraud or criminal activity, if any.

 ARTICLE XI 
 GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 SECTION 11.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise specified
in this Agreement, all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred in connection with this Agreement, the agreements contemplated hereby and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred, provided, however, that Purchaser shall pay for all fees and expenses relating to antitrust, competition and foreign
investment matters, if any, including filing fees and other fees and expenses related to obtaining approvals from, contesting, negotiating, resolving and otherwise addressing claims or positions asserted or held by any Governmental Authorities and
provided further, however, Seller shall pay all costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, incurred prior to the Closing by the Target Group Companies in connection with the

 SECTION 11.2 Disclaimer Regarding Projections. In connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Target Group Companies, Purchaser has
received from the Seller Group Companies, the Target Group Companies and/or the respective representatives thereof, certain projections and other forecasts and certain business plan information. Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties
inherent in attempting to make such projections and other forecasts and plans, that Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties, that Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all
projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, and that Purchaser shall have no claim against anyone with respect thereto. Accordingly, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller makes no representation or warranty with respect to such
projections, forecasts or plans and that Seller makes only those representations and warranties explicitly set forth in Article III. 
 SECTION 11.3 Materiality. As used in this Agreement, unless the context would require otherwise, the terms “material” or “material to the Target Group Companies”, “material to the Target Parent
Companies” and the concept of the “material” nature of an effect upon the Target Group Companies or the Target Parent Companies shall be measured relative to the entire business of the Target Group Companies, taken as a whole, as such
business is currently being conducted. There have been included in the Schedules, and may be included elsewhere in this Agreement, items which are not “material” within the meaning of the immediately preceding sentence; such inclusion
shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement by Seller that such items are “material” and shall not be used to further define the meaning of “material” for purposes of this Agreement.

contemplated herein must be approved by Purchaser, such approval not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that (i) the foregoing shall

Purchaser’s consent but has been unable to do so in a timely manner and (ii) any press release or any other presentation that references the transaction contemplated herein that contains a description of this transaction that is
substantially similar to the description contained in a prior press release approved by Purchaser will not require further approval from Purchaser. 
 SECTION 11.7 Headings; Table of Contents. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement and table of contents of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.8 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 and 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. 
 SECTION 11.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto constitute the entire
agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. 
 SECTION 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. This Agreement may not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party (which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of such other
Party), and any attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.10 shall be void. 
 SECTION 11.11 No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person other than the Parties
any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever (including any rights as a third party beneficiary or otherwise) under or by reason of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 11.12 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the Parties. 
 SECTION 11.13 Waiver. Any Party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any
other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of another Party contained herein or in any document delivered by another Party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions

rights. 
  

 56 

 SECTION 11.14 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of California, without reference to the choice of law doctrine of California. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in any federal court sitting in the

its address specified in Section 11.5. Nothing in this Section shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this Section shall not constitute general
consents to service of process in the State of California and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties. 
 SECTION 11.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts,
each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signatures delivered electronically shall have the same force and effect as “ink” signatures.

	(j)	Construction & Interpretation. As used in this Agreement, unless the context expressly requires the contrary, references to Sections shall mean the sections and
subsections of this Agreement; references to “including” shall mean “including (without limitation)”; references to a “person” shall mean both legal entities and natural persons; references to the singular shall include
the plural and vice versa; and references to the masculine shall include the feminine and neutral, and vice versa. 

 2. Services During Certain Events. If a third person begins a tender or exchange offer for the shares of the Corporation, circulates a proxy to shareholders of the Corporation, or takes other steps seeking to effect a Change of
Control, the Executive agrees that the Executive will not voluntarily leave the employ of the Corporation without the consent of the Corporation and will render the services contemplated in the recitals to this Agreement, until the third person has
abandoned or terminated the third person’s efforts to effect a Change of Control or until 90 days after a Change of Control has occurred. If the Executive fails to comply with the provisions of this Section 2, the Corporation will
suffer damages that are difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Accordingly, should the Executive fail to comply with the provisions of this Section 2, the Corporation shall retain the amounts that would otherwise be payable to the
Executive (other than accrued salary under Section 4(a) and normal health, welfare and retirement benefits until the date of the Executive’s termination) under this Agreement as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages but shall have no other
recourse against the Executive. 
 3. Termination After or in Connection With a Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term “Termination” shall include the following in this Section 3: 
  

	(a)	the Corporation’s termination of the Executive’s employment with the Corporation within two years after a Change of Control for any reason other than death, Permanent
Disability, retirement at or after his Normal Retirement Age or Cause; 

  

	(b)	the Corporation’s termination of the employment of the Executive with the Corporation, for any reason other than death, Permanent Disability, retirement at or after his Normal
Retirement Age or Cause, if the termination occurs at any time between: 

  

	 	(i)	the date the Corporation enters into a definitive agreement or files a proxy statement, or the date a third person begins a tender or exchange offer, in each case, in connection
with a transaction that would constitute a Change of Control, or the date the Corporation takes other steps seeking to effect a Change of Control, and 

  

	 	(ii)	the date the Change of Control transaction is either consummated, abandoned or terminated (for this purpose, the Board shall have the sole and absolute discretion to determine that
a proposed transaction has been abandoned), or 

  

	(c)	the resignation of the Executive after the occurrence of any of the following events within two years after a Change of Control: 

  

	 	(i)	an adverse change of the Executive’s title or a reduction or adverse change in the nature or scope of the Executive’s authority or duties from those the Executive
exercised and performed immediately prior to the Change of Control; 

  

 -3- 

	 	(ii)	a transfer of the Executive to a location that is more than 35 miles away from the location where the Executive was employed immediately prior to the Change of Control;

  

	 	(iii)	a substantial increase occurs in the amount of time the Executive is required to spend traveling (for this purpose, a “substantial increase” will be deemed to occur if the
Executive is required to travel in an amount greater than 30% more in any calendar year, measured in number of days, as compared to the average number of days the Executive was required to travel during the three preceding calendar years).

  

	 	(iv)	any reduction in the rate of the Executive’s annual salary below his rate of annual salary immediately prior to the Change of Control; or 

  

	 	(v)	any reduction in the level of the Executive’s fringe benefits or bonus below a level consistent with the Corporation’s practice prior to the Change of Control, other than
changes applicable to all similarly situated executives of the Corporation. 

 4. Termination Payments. In the event of
a Termination, YRC shall provide to the Executive the following benefits: 
  

	(a)	YRC shall pay to the Executive, in accordance with its normal payroll policies, the compensation and benefits that the Executive accrued through the date of Termination. This amount
shall include the pro rata amount of the Executive’s Target Bonus for the year that includes the date of Termination. 

  

	(b)	YRC shall pay to the Executive, on the “Termination Payment Commencement Date” (defined below), as additional compensation for services rendered to the Corporation,
a lump sum cash amount (subject to the minimum applicable federal, state or local lump sum withholding requirements, if any, unless the Executive requests that a greater amount be withheld) equal to two times the sum of: 

  

	 	(i)	the Executive’s current base salary, and 

  

	 	(ii)	the Executive’s Target Bonus in effect for the year that includes the date of the Executive’s Termination (or if no such Target Bonus has been set, the Target Bonus for
the prior year). 

 With respect to a payment to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, the “Termination Payment
Commencement Date” shall mean (x) if the Board (or its delegate) determines in its sole discretion that as of the date of the Executive’s Termination the Executive is a “specified employee” (as defined in
Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Department of Treasury regulations and other interpretive guidance issued thereunder) as of the date of the Executive’s
Termination and that Section 409A of the Code applies with respect to such payment, the first business day following the six-month anniversary of the date of the Executive’s Termination; or (y) if the Board (or its 

  

 -4- 

 
delegate) determines in its sole discretion that the Executive is not such a “specified employee” as of the date of the Executive’s
Termination (or that Section 409A of the Code does not apply with respect to such payment), the date of the Executive’s Termination. The period commencing on the Executive’s date of Termination and ending on the six-month anniversary
of such date is referred to herein as the “Six-Month Delay Period”) 
  

	(c)	During the “Applicable Period” , the Corporation shall arrange to provide the Executive with substantially similar benefits to the benefits the Executive would have
received if the Executive had remained an employee of the Corporation, including the applicable medical, dental, life insurance, short-term disability, long-term disability and perquisite plans and programs covering key executives of the
Corporation; provided that the Executive shall not be entitled to accrue any benefits after Termination under any 401(k) plan or defined benefit or contribution pension plan of the Corporation. Any benefits accrued under any such 401(k) or
defined benefit or contribution pension plan shall be governed by those plans. 

 If the Board (or its delegate) determines in
its sole discretion that Section 409A of the Code applies with respect to any amount payable to or on behalf of the Executive under a perquisite plan or other similar program of the Corporation, then any amount payable to or on behalf of the
Executive under such perquisite plan or other similar program of the Corporation for each calendar month during the Applicable Period, including any amounts payable to or on behalf of the Executive following the initial 18-month coverage period of
any medical, dental or other benefit exempt under Section 409A of the Code, shall be paid in accordance with the then existing payroll practices of the Corporation; provided, however, that if the Board (or its delegate) also determines
in its sole discretion that the Executive is a “specified employee” as of the date of the Executive’s Termination, any such amount(s) that are subject to Section 409A of the Code and are payable during the Six-Month Delay Period
shall be paid in a lump sum on the Termination Payment Commencement Date, or, if earlier the Executive’s death, and for each calendar month during the Applicable Period thereafter shall be paid in accordance with the then existing payroll
practices of the Corporation. 
  

	(d)	The Executive shall be entitled to the Gross-Up Payment, if any, described in Section 6. 

 5. Change of Control—Equity Grants and Awards. In the event of a Change of Control, all options to acquire shares of YRC, all shares of
restricted YRC stock, all performance or share units and all other equity or phantom equity incentives that the Corporation granted the Executive under any agreement between Executive and Corporation or any plan of the Corporation, including
YRC’s 1999 Stock Option Plan, YRC’s 2002 Stock Option and Share Award Plan, YRC’s Executive Performance Plan, as amended, YRC’s 2004 Long-Term Incentive and Equity Award Plan, and the Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended from
time to time, shall become immediately vested, exercisable and non-forfeitable and all conditions of any grant or award (including any required holding periods) shall be deemed to have been satisfied. If the Executive is a participant in YRC’s
Long-Term Incentive Plan or any similar or successor plan, 
  

 -5- 

	(a)	for any incomplete performance period under the plan, the Corporation shall pay the Executive any cash or equity component upon the Change of Control that the plan provides only if
the plan so provides, assuming that the Corporation would meet estimated actual performance for each period as the Committee (as it exists prior to the Change of Control) determines (but in no event less than Target performance);

  

	(b)	for any completed performance period under the plan, to the extent the Executive has not received the grant for the period assuming that the Corporation would meet estimated actual
performance for each period as the Committee (as it exists prior to the Change of Control) determines (but in no event less than Target performance); provided that if the Executive had previously received a partial grant and that grant
exceeded a grant for Target performance, the Executive shall not be required to return the prior grant; 

 and, in each case, any equity
component shall be treated in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 5. 
 [For William D. Zollars only: In addition to the foregoing, in
the event of a Change of Control, YRC shall pay the Executive the Supplemental Retirement Benefit provided for under Section 4(h) of the Employment Agreement by and between YRC and Executive dated January 25, 2006 in one lump sum payment
within 30 days following such Change of Control; provided that such benefit shall be determined by taking into account the reduction for early payment as described in Section 4(h)(i) and applying the Moody’s Corporate Bond Rate in
existence at the time of the lump sum payment as the “Discount Rate.”] 
 6. Additional Payments by YRC. 
  

	(a)	Gross-Up Payment. If it shall be determined that the Corporation’s payment or provision of any payment or benefit of any type to or for the benefit of the Executive,
whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise (determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 6) (the “Total Payments”) would be
subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar tax that may hereafter be imposed) or any interest or penalties with respect to the excise tax (the excise tax, together with any interest and penalties, are
collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then YRC shall pay the Executive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after the Executive’s payment of all taxes (including all
federal, state or local taxes and any interest or penalties imposed with respect to those taxes), including any Excise Tax, imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, the Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed
upon the Total Payments. YRC shall pay the Gross-Up Payment promptly following the Accounting Firm’s (defined below) determination described in Section 6(b) or in accordance with Sections 6(c) or 6(e). 

  

	(b)	 Accounting Firm Determination. An independent accounting firm that YRC retains (the “Accounting Firm”) shall make all determinations that
this Section 6 requires, including whether a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of the Gross-Up Payment. YRC shall cause the Accounting Firm to provide detailed supporting calculations both to YRC and the Executive within 15 business
days of the date of 

  

 -6- 

	 	 
Termination, if applicable, or such earlier time that YRC requests. If the Accounting Firm determines that the Executive is not required to pay an Excise
Tax, the Accounting Firm shall furnish the Executive with an opinion that the Executive has substantial authority not to report any Excise Tax on his federal income tax return. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be binding upon YRC and
the Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the Accounting Firm’s initial determination, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments that YRC will not have been made should have
been made (“Underpayment”) consistent with the calculations that this Agreement requires. If YRC exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 6(c) and the Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the
Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and YRC shall pay the Underpayment promptly to or for the benefit of the Executive. YRC shall promptly pay all expenses of the Accounting Firm.

  

	(c)	Notification Required. The Executive shall notify YRC in writing of any Internal Revenue Service claim that, if successful, would require YRC’s payment of the Gross-Up
Payment. The Executive shall give YRC the notification as soon as practicable but no later than ten business days after the Executive knows of the claim and shall apprise YRC of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested
to be paid; provided that the Executive’s failure to give the notice within the 10-day period shall only prejudice the Executive’s rights pursuant to Section 6 to the extent that YRC’s ability to reduce the amount of the
Gross-Up Payment have been prejudiced. The Executive shall not pay the claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which the Executive gives notice to YRC (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of
taxes with respect to the claim is due). If YRC notifies the Executive in writing prior to the expiration of the period that it desires to contest the claim, the Executive shall: 

  

	 	(i)	give YRC any information that YRC reasonably requests relating to the claim, 

  

	 	(ii)	take such action in connection with contesting the claim as YRC shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, accepting legal representation with respect to the
claim by an attorney that YRC reasonably selects, 

  

	 	(iii)	cooperate with YRC in good faith to effectively contest the claim, 

  

	 	(iv)	permit YRC to participate in any proceedings relating to the claim; provided, that YRC shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and
penalties) incurred in connection with the contest and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest and penalties, imposed as a result of the representation and payment
of costs and expenses. 

 Without limitation on the foregoing provisions of this Section 6(c), YRC shall control all
proceedings taken in connection with the contest and, at its sole option, may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of a claim and may, at its sole option,
either direct the 

  

 -7- 

 
Executive to pay the tax claimed and sue for a refund, or contest the claim in any permissible manner. The Executive agrees to prosecute the contest to a
determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as YRC shall determine; provided, that if YRC directs the Executive to pay the claim and sue for a refund, YRC shall
advance the amount of the payment to the Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold the Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax, including interest or penalties, imposed with respect to the
advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to the advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of the Executive with respect to which the
contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to the contested amount. YRC’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable under this Agreement and the Executive shall be
entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue that the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority raises. 
  

	(d)	Repayment. If, after the Executive’s receipt of an amount that YRC paid or advanced pursuant to this Section 6, the Executive becomes entitled to receive a refund
with respect to the claim, the Executive shall (subject to YRC’s complying with the requirements of this Section 6), promptly pay to YRC the amount of the refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable
thereto). If, after the Executive’s receipt of an amount that YRC paid or advanced pursuant to this Section 6, a determination is made that the Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to the claim and YRC does not notify
the Executive in writing of its intent to contest the denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after the determination, then the payment or advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of the payment or
advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid. 

  

	(e)	Section 409A. If any Gross-Up Payment required pursuant to this Section 6 is determined by the Board (or its delegate) to be subject to Section 409A of the
Code, such payment shall be made as follows: 

  

	 	(i)	if such Gross-Up Payment is made due to a Change in Control (i.e., such payment or provision is made without taking into account Executive’s Termination), then YRC shall
pay such Gross-Up Payment on the date of the Change of Control or, if later, as soon as administratively practicable following the Accounting Firm’s determination described in Section 6(b); 

  

	 	(ii)	if such Gross-Up Payment is made on or after, and due to, Executive’s Termination, then YRC shall pay such Gross-Up Payment incurred during the Six-Month Delay Period in a lump
sum on the Termination Payment Commencement Date, and for each calendar month thereafter in which such a Gross-Up Payment becomes due in monthly installments on the last business day of the calendar month following the month such payment becomes
due; and 

  

	 	(iii)	 if such Gross-Up Payment is due pursuant to Section 6(c), then YRC shall pay such Gross-Up Payment no later than March 15th of the calendar year following

  

 -8- 

	 	 
the calendar year in which the alleged obligation of Executive, as reflected by Executive’s receipt of a claim by the Internal Revenue Service, is
received by Executive; and 

  

	 	(iii)	notwithstanding Sections 6(e)(i) or (ii), if a Gross-Up Payment due under Section 6 is paid pursuant to Section 6(b) or (c), such payment will be considered a distribution
payable on the date of the Change in Control or the Executive’s date of Termination, respectively, as permitted under Section 409A and proposed Treasury Regulation § 1.409-3(d) (because such payment was not administratively
practicable due to events beyond the control of the Executive) and, as such, shall be made as soon as administratively practicable (but in no event shall it be made later than the end of the first calendar year in which the payment becomes
administratively practicable). 

 7. General. 
  

	(a)	Confidentiality. The Executive shall hold in a fiduciary capacity for the benefit of the Corporation all data, reports and other information relating to the business of the
Corporation that comes into the possession of the Executive during the Executive’s employment with the Corporation (collectively, “Confidential Information”). During the Executive’s employment with the Corporation and
after termination of the Executive’s employment, the Executive agrees: 

  

	 	(i)	to take all such precautions as may be reasonably necessary to prevent the disclosure to any third person of any of the Confidential Information; 

  

	 	(ii)	not to use for the Executive’s own benefit any of the Confidential Information; and 

  

	 	(iii)	not to aid any other person in the use of the Confidential Information in competition with the Corporation; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the
Executive from disclosing or using any Confidential Information: 

  

	 	(A)	in the performance of the Executive’s duties as an employee of the Corporation, 

  

	 	(B)	as required by applicable law, 

  

	 	(C)	in connection with the enforcement of the Executive’s rights under this Agreement or any other agreement with the Corporation, 

  

	 	(D)	in connection with the defense or settlement of any claim, suit or action brought or threatened against the Executive by or in the right of the Corporation, or

  

	 	(E)	with the prior written consent of the Board. 

  

 -9- 

 Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the term “Confidential
Information” shall not be deemed to include any general knowledge, skills or experience acquired by the Executive or any knowledge or information known or available to the public in general. The Executive further agrees that, within 90 days
after termination of the Executive’s employment for any reason, the Executive will surrender to the Corporation all Confidential Information, and any copies of Confidential Information, in his possession and agrees that all the materials and
copies, are at all times the property of the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive shall be permitted to retain copies of, or have access to, all Confidential Information relating to any disagreement, dispute or litigation
(pending or threatened) involving the Executive. 
  

	(b)	Remedies. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Executive of the provisions of Section 7(a), the Corporation shall be entitled to an injunction
restraining the Executive from violating Section 7(a) without the necessity of posting a bond. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Corporation from pursuing any other remedies available to it at law or in equity. The parties
agree that the provisions of this Section 7(a) shall survive the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Corporation, as the continuation of this covenant is necessary for the protection of the Corporation.

  

	(c)	Payment Obligations Absolute. YRC’s obligation to pay the Executive the compensation and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that the Corporation may have against the Executive or anyone else. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall have the right to
withhold all applicable federal, state or local taxes on any amount paid or payable under this Agreement. All amounts that YRC owes under this Agreement shall be paid without notice or demand. Each and every payment that YRC makes under this
Agreement shall be final, and YRC will not seek to recover all or any part of the payment from the Executive or from whosoever may be entitled to the payment, for any reason whatsoever. The Executive shall not be obligated to seek other employment
in mitigation of the amounts payable or arrangements made under any provision of this Agreement, and the obtaining of any such other employment shall in no event affect any reduction of YRC’s obligations to make the payments that this Agreement
requires. 

  

	(d)	Obligations to Pay Costs. If the Corporation terminates the Executive, and if the Executive successfully asserts a claim, action or proceeding against the Corporation for
benefits under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Executive and the Corporation, the Corporation shall promptly pay or reimburse the Executive for all costs and expenses, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, that the
Executive incurs in connection with the claim, action or proceeding. For purposes of this Section 7(d), the Executive will be deemed to have successfully asserted a claim, action or proceeding against the Corporation if, as a result of the
claim, action or proceeding, the Corporation pays to the Executive, under this Agreement or any other agreement between the Executive and the Corporation, any amounts in addition to the amounts the Executive would be entitled to receive upon a
termination for Cause. 

  

 -10- 

	(e)	Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon and insure to the benefit of the Executive and his estate and the Corporation and any successor of the Corporation, but the
Executive may neither assign nor pledge this Agreement or any rights arising under this Agreement. 

  

	(f)	Severability. Any provision in this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to the jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of the
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating or affecting the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the provision in any other
jurisdiction. 

  

	(g)	Controlling Law. The laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to its law on conflicts of law, shall govern this Agreement shall in all respects.

  

	(h)	Termination. Except in the event of a Termination, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the Executive’s separation of employment with the Corporation. A
majority of the Continuing Directors may terminate this Agreement upon notifying the Executive; except that a termination shall not be made, and if made shall have no effect, 

  

	 	(i)	within two years after the Change of Control in question, or 

  

	 	(ii)	during any period of time when YRC has knowledge that any third person has taken steps reasonably calculated to effect a Change of Control until, in the opinion of a majority of the
Continuing Directors the third person has abandoned or terminated his efforts to effect a Change of Control. Any decision by a majority of the Continuing Directors that the third person has abandoned or terminated his efforts to effect a Change of
Control shall be conclusive and binding on the Executive. 

  

	(i)	This Agreement amends, restates, replaces and supercedes those Executive Severance Agreements dated as of
                     between the Corporation and the Executive in their entirety. 

  

	(j)	Deferred Compensation. This Agreement is intended to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and may be administered in a manner that is intended to meet
those requirements and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. To the extent that an award or payment, or the settlement or deferral thereof, is subject to Section 409A of the Code, except as the Committee
otherwise determines in writing, the payment or deferral will be made in a manner that will not subject the compensation to excise tax applicable under Section 409A of the Code. Any payments made under the Agreement due to the
Executive’s Termination as defined in Section 3 hereof are intended to be payments made upon a “separation from service” as described in Section 409A of the Code. 

  

 -11- 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
     day of             , 20    .
