For purposes of this Agreement, the “Closing Payment” shall mean an aggregate amount of cash equal to (i) the Base Purchase Price, minus (ii) the Representative Holdback Amount, minus (iii) the Escrow Amount, minus (iv) the absolute value of the Closing Adjustment Amount, if negative, plus (v) the Closing Adjustment Amount, if positive, plus (vi) any Estimated Cash Surplus, minus (vii) the cost of the tail policy to be purchased by the Company in accordance with Section 5.07(b), plus (viii) the Additional Capital Expenditures, if any. For purposes of clarity, the parties agree that Sellers shall be responsible for the payment by the Company of all Approved Capital Expenditures, none of which will be considered Current Liabilities in the calculation of Working Capital, and Buyer will be responsible for reimbursing

Sellers for any Additional Capital Expenditures made by the Company, none of which will be considered a Current Liability in the calculation of Working Capital. In the event there are unpaid Approved Capital Expenditures incurred by the Company as of the Closing, Buyer shall reduce the amount of the Purchase Price and the Closing Payment by the amount of such unpaid Approved Capital Expenditures.

(b) At Closing, as security for Sellers’ indemnification obligations, the Company’s obligations under Section 5.16 and the Final Adjustment Deficiency and Final Cash Deficiency, if any, under this Agreement, Buyer shall remit to the Escrow Account to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement an amount of cash equal to the sum of (i) $17,180,000 plus (ii) the Repair Amount plus (iii) an amount equal to the estimated federal and state income and franchise tax liability of the Company for the tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (after giving effect to all deposits for such taxes made by the Company), which amount shall be agreed upon by Buyer and the Company two (2) Business Days prior to Closing (the “Escrow Amount”). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that funds will only be released prior to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date in accordance with joint written instructions of Buyer and the Representative or by a court order (as further described in the Escrow Agreement), and further, provided, that within five (5) Business Days after: (i) the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, $5,726,666 (less the amount of any claims that have been resolved and, as a result thereof, a portion of the Escrow Amount has already been disbursed to Buyer from the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement (“Resolved Claims”), and less the amount of any claims for indemnifiable Losses made by Buyer under Section 5.05(b) and Article VII prior to such date that have yet to be paid, are in dispute or as to which Third-Party Claims are pending (“Pending Claims”) shall be released to the Representative for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their Percentage Interests, (ii) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing, an additional $5,726,666 (less the amount of all Resolved Claims and all Pending Claims) shall be released to the Representative for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their Percentage Interests; and (iii) the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing the funds remaining in the Escrow Account (less the amount of all Pending Claims) shall be released to the Representative for further distribution to the Sellers in accordance with their Percentage Interests. The amount of any Pending Claims as of the date of any distribution shall continue to be held by the Escrow Agent until such time as each such Pending Claim is resolved, at which time the amounts remaining in the Escrow Account subject to release at such date shall be disbursed to the Representative and/or Buyer in accordance with the resolution of such claims. All parties hereto agree for all Tax purposes that: (i) Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Escrow Amount, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Escrow Amount, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Buyer pursuant to Code Section 468B(g) and Proposed Treasury Regulations Section 1.468B-8, (ii) if and to the extent any amount of the Escrow Amount is actually distributed to the Sellers, interest may be imputed on such amount, as required by Code Section 483 or 1274, (iii) Sellers’ rights to any such distributed portion of the Escrow Amount under this Agreement shall be treated as installment obligations for purposes of Code Section 453, and (iv) in no event shall the aggregate payments under the Escrow Agreement to the Sellers exceed $18,898,000. Clause (iv) of the preceding sentence is intended to ensure that the right of Sellers to the Escrow Amount and any interest and earnings earned thereon is not treated as a contingent payment without a stated maximum selling price under

Code Section 453 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. No party hereto shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with the foregoing.

(c) At Closing, Buyer shall repay, or cause the Company to repay, subject to the receipt of the Payoff Letters, the Estimated Indebtedness as set forth in the Estimated Balance Sheet to the applicable holder thereof by wire transfer as directed by the Company.

(d) At Closing, Buyer shall pay by wire transfer to the appropriate parties the Company Transaction Costs that are identified as such on the Estimated Balance Sheet, except that, with respect to any Company Transaction Costs that consist of payments to employees including related payroll Taxes, Buyer shall, if necessary, remit to the Company funds necessary to pay such Company Transaction Costs, which shall be paid by the Company on the Closing Date.

(e) At Closing, Buyer shall pay by wire transfer the Representative Holdback Amount to the Representative and shall pay by wire transfer the cost of the tail policy as directed by the Representative.

(f) By execution hereof, each Seller hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees (i) that he, she or it understands the purchase price mechanics set forth herein (including the manner in which his, her or its Percentage Interest has been calculated) and (ii) to the deduction from the Purchase Price and the Closing Payment for the items referenced herein, including, without limitation, the Escrow Amount, the Representative Holdback Amount, the retention of the funds for such accounts and the distribution and use of those funds pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Section 2.04 Estimated Indebtedness, Working Capital and Cash. No later than two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date, the Company shall have delivered to Buyer an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Companies prepared as of the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Balance Sheet”), which sets forth a good faith estimate of the following: (a) the amount of unpaid Indebtedness as of the Closing Date as set forth in the payoff letters (the “Payoff Letters”) received from each holder of Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (b) the amount of Working Capital Surplus or Working Capital Deficiency as of the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital Surplus” or “Estimated Working Capital Deficiency”) and (c) the amount of Cash Surplus as of the date immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Cash Surplus”). The Estimated Balance Sheet shall be prepared by the Company in accordance with this Agreement and GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Balance Sheet. For the avoidance of doubt, only the categories and line items set forth on Exhibit C shall be taken into account in calculating the Estimated Working Capital Surplus or Estimated Working Capital Deficiency, notwithstanding that GAAP may require additional categories of current liabilities or current assets to be included in a GAAP presentation of Working Capital.

Section 2.05 Final Indebtedness, Working Capital and Cash.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date), Buyer shall cause the Company to prepare, in good faith, and

The Final Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and GAAP applied in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Balance Sheet. For the avoidance of doubt, only the categories and line items set forth on Exhibit C shall be taken into account in calculating the Closing Working Capital Surplus or Closing Working Capital Deficiency, notwithstanding that GAAP may require additional categories of current liabilities or current assets to be included in a GAAP presentation of Working Capital. Following the delivery of the Final Balance Sheet to the Representative, Buyer shall afford the Representative and its representatives the opportunity to examine the Final Balance Sheet, and such supporting schedules, analyses, workpapers, including the audit workpapers, and other underlying records or documentation as are reasonably requested by the Representative. Buyer shall cooperate fully and promptly with the Representative and its representatives in such examination, including providing answers to questions asked by the Representative and its representatives, and Buyer shall promptly make available to the Representative and its representatives any records under Buyer’s or the Acquired Companies’ reasonable control that are requested by the Representative and its representatives.

(b) If within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Final Balance Sheet to the Representative, the Representative has not delivered to Buyer written notice (the “Objection Notice”) of any objections to the Final Balance Sheet (such Objection Notice must contain a statement describing in reasonable detail under the circumstances the basis of such objections), then the Closing Indebtedness, Closing Working Capital Surplus or Closing Working Capital Deficiency, as applicable, and the Final Cash Surplus as set forth in such Final Balance Sheet shall be deemed final and conclusive and shall be “Final Indebtedness,” “Final Working Capital Surplus” or “Final Working Capital Deficiency,” and the “Final Cash Surplus,” respectively. If the Representative delivers an Objection Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then Buyer and the Sellers shall endeavor in good faith to resolve the objections, for a period not to exceed fifteen (15) days from the date of delivery of the Objection Notice. If at the end of the fifteen (15) day period there are any objections that remain in dispute, then the remaining objections in dispute shall be submitted for resolution to a nationally recognized accounting firm to be selected jointly by the Representative and Buyer within the following five (5) days or, if the Sellers and Buyer are unable to mutually agree within such five (5) day period, such accounting firm shall be Deloitte LLP (such jointly selected accounting firm or Deloitte LLP, the “Referee”). The Referee shall determine Final Indebtedness, Final Working Capital Surplus or Final Working Capital Deficiency, as applicable, and the Final Cash Surplus, within thirty (30) days after the objections that remain in dispute are submitted to it. If any such objections are submitted to the Referee for resolution, (i) each party shall furnish to the Referee a report with respect to such party’s positions with respect to the issues in the Objection Notice, a copy of which shall be delivered to the other party hereto, and no ex parte conferences, oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other form of evidence gathering or hearings shall be conducted or allowed, provided, that, at the Referee’s request, or as mutually agreed by the parties, Buyer and the Representative may meet with the Referee as long as representatives of both are present; (ii) to the extent that a value has been assigned to any objection that remains in

dispute, the Referee shall not assign a value to such objection that is greater than the greatest value for such objection claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such objection claimed by either party; (iii) the determination by the Referee of Final Indebtedness, Final Working Capital Surplus or Final Working Capital Deficiency, as applicable, and Final Cash Surplus as set forth in a written notice delivered to both parties by the Referee, shall be made solely in accordance with the written reports (i.e., not on independent review) and in accordance with this Agreement and shall be binding and conclusive on the parties absent manifest error and shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof; and (iv) fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Referee shall be paid by Buyer and the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the fees and expenses of the Referee shall be paid by the Representative on behalf of the Sellers.

(c) To the extent the Final Cash Surplus exceeds the Estimated Cash Surplus, such excess shall be paid by the Company to the Representative (for further credit to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Percentage Interests), within ten (10) days of any final determination. To the extent the Final Cash Surplus is less than the Estimated Cash Surplus (such deficiency, the “Final Cash Deficiency”), the Representative and the Buyer shall within ten (10) days of such final determination, sign a joint written instruction letter to the Escrow Agent directing Escrow Agent to pay such Final Cash Deficiency to Buyer. For Tax purposes, any payment under this Section 2.05(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless a contrary treatment is required by applicable Law.

(d) To the extent that the Final Adjustment Amount exceeds the Closing Adjustment Amount, such excess (the “Final Adjustment Surplus”) shall be paid by the Company to the Representative (for further credit to the Sellers in accordance with their respective Percentage Interest), within ten (10) days of any such final determination. To the extent that the Final Adjustment Amount is less than the Closing Adjustment Amount (such deficiency, the “Final Adjustment Deficiency”), the Representative and Buyer shall within ten (10) days of such final determination, sign a joint written instruction letter to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to pay such Final Adjustment Deficiency to Buyer. For Tax purposes, any payment under this Section 2.05(d) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless a contrary treatment is required by applicable Law.

Buyer shall, in preparing such Tax Return, cause the items for which the Sellers are liable hereunder to be reflected in accordance with the Representative’s proper instructions in accordance with this Agreement and, in the absence of having received such instructions, in accordance with past practice of the Acquired Companies, if any, to the extent permissible under applicable Laws.

(iii) For purposes of this Section 5.05, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income, gains or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income, gains or receipts (including sales and use Taxes), or employment or payroll Taxes, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Tax period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with reasonable prior practice of the Acquired Companies. The Acquired Companies will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed, and cause their Affiliates to prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Section 5.05(a).

(iv) Buyer and the Representative agree that any deductions relating to the payment of bonuses, any other Company Transaction Cost in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be included as deductions of the Acquired Companies in the relevant Tax Returns for the taxable period ending as of the Closing Date.

(b) Subject only to the specific limitations of this Section 5.05(b), Section 5.05(e) and Section 7.04 hereof, each Seller, severally but not jointly in accordance with its Percentage Interest, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer from and against, and to reimburse and pay Buyer as incurred with respect to, any and all Losses attributable to liabilities of the Acquired Companies for Taxes attributable to Tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the Sellers shall be liable for Taxes only to the extent that such Taxes were not included as Current Liabilities in calculating the Company’s Working Capital and taken into account in determining the amount of the Purchase Price pursuant to Article II, (ii) the Sellers shall have no liability for any Taxes or Losses with respect to Taxes that are attributable to any transaction outside the ordinary course of business of the Acquired Companies entered into by Buyer or its Affiliates or at the direction of Buyer or its Affiliates that occurs on the Closing Date after the Closing, (iii) the Sellers shall have no liability to Buyer for any Taxes or Losses attributable to Taxes with respect to any Tax period or portion of a Tax period beginning after the Closing Date, and (iv) the maximum liability for each Seller to Buyer for any Taxes or Losses attributable to Taxes shall be paid and satisfied solely from the Escrow Account as set forth in Section 7.04. Within five (5) days after the filing of each Pre Closing Tax Return, Buyer and Representative shall deliver a joint written direction to the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer from the Escrow Account an amount equal to the Taxes shown

as due and owing on such Pre Closing Tax Return. The Sellers’ indemnification obligations under this Section 5.05(b) are referred to herein as the “Tax Indemnity.” Buyer shall have no right to any Tax Indemnity if any Losses are the result of actions of Buyer or its Affiliates. The Sellers’ indemnification obligations under this Section 5.05 shall survive until the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing.

(c) Buyer shall inform the Representative of the commencement of any audit, examination or proceeding (“Tax Contest”) relating in whole or in part to Taxes for which Buyer may be entitled to indemnity from the Sellers hereunder. With respect to any Tax Contest for which the Sellers acknowledge in writing that the Sellers are liable under Section 5.05(c) for all Losses relating thereto, the Sellers shall be entitled to control, in good faith, all proceedings taken in connection with such Tax Contest; provided, however, that (x) the Representative shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of its intention to control such Tax Contest, (y) in the case of a Tax Contest relating to Taxes of any of the Acquired Companies for a Tax period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, the Representative and Buyer shall jointly control all proceedings taken in connection with any such Tax Contest, and (z) if any Tax Contest could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies in any Tax period beginning after the Closing Date, the Tax Contest shall not be settled or resolved without Buyer’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The failure of Buyer to give reasonably prompt notice of any Tax Contest shall release the Sellers’ obligations only to the extent Sellers’ rights are actually prejudiced. Buyer and the Company shall use their reasonable efforts to provide the Representative with such assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Representative in connection with a Tax Contest controlled solely or jointly by the Representative.

(d) Except as required by applicable Laws, without the prior written consent of the Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), none of Buyer, the Acquired Companies, or any Affiliate of Buyer shall file any amended Tax Return with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date.

(e) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by Buyer when due. Buyer shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees.

Section 5.06 [Reserved].

Section 5.07 Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation by the Acquired Companies now existing in favor of each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, an officer or director of any of the Acquired Companies, as provided in the certificate of formation, bylaws or company agreement of the applicable Acquired Company, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, or pursuant to any other agreements in effect on the Closing Date and disclosed in Section 5.07(a) of the Disclosure Schedules, shall survive the Closing Date and shall continue in

full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms for a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date.

(b) The Acquired Companies shall, and Buyer shall cause the Acquired Companies to, obtain as of the Closing Date “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Closing Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the directors and officers of the Acquired Companies, in each case with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred on or prior to the Closing Date (including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(c) Effective as of the Closing, Buyer and the Company waive any claim relating to and agree not to and to not permit any of their respective Affiliates to bring any action asserting, any breach of fiduciary duty or any breach of any other duty owed to any of the Acquired Companies against any former director, officer, employee, partner, Seller or other representative or Affiliate of the Company, whether such action is filed derivatively on behalf of the Company or otherwise.

(d) The obligations of Buyer and the Company under this Section 5.07 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any director or officer to whom this Section 5.07 applies without the consent of such affected director or officer (it being expressly agreed that the directors and officers to whom this Section 5.07 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.07, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.07).

(e) In the event Buyer, any Acquired Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Acquired Companies, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.07.

Section 5.08 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing for a period of three (3) years, Representative and each Seller shall and shall cause their respective Affiliates and representatives to keep confidential all Confidential Information, except to the extent required by applicable Law and except that the Sellers may disclose such information to their respective employees, accountants, advisors, limited partners and other representatives as necessary in connection with the ordinary conduct of their respective businesses (so long as such Persons agree to or are bound by contract or duty to keep such information confidential). The parties hereby agree that the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and terminate automatically effective upon Closing. If this Agreement is, for any reason, terminated prior to Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall nonetheless continue in full force and effect. Buyer acknowledges and confirms that any press release issued in accordance with Section 5.12 shall not violate any provision of this Section 5.08.

Section 5.09 Governmental Approvals and Other Third-Party Consents.

(a) Each party hereto shall, as promptly as possible, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or cause to be obtained, all consents, authorizations, orders and approvals from all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for the performance of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Each party shall cooperate fully with the other party and its Affiliates in promptly seeking to obtain all such consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals. If required by the HSR Act, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, which filing shall request early termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authority any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. Buyer agrees that all filing fees under the HSR Act (whether imposed on Buyer, Sellers or any other Persons pursuant to the HSR Act) shall be borne exclusively by Buyer.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Buyer’s undertaking pursuant to this Section 5.09, Buyer agrees to use its best efforts and to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as possible, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of any of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement as are required to be divested in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of delaying or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be required to take any actions that would or would be reasonably expected to result in a Regulatory Material Adverse Effect. In addition, Buyer shall use its best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Governmental Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing.

(c) All analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals made by or on behalf of either party before any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, not including any interactions between the Acquired Companies or Buyer and Governmental Authorities in the ordinary course of business, any disclosure which is not permitted by Law or any disclosure containing confidential information) shall, where practical, be disclosed to the other party hereunder or its legal counsel in advance of any filing, submission or attendance, it being the intent that the parties will consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any such analyses, appearances, meetings, discussions, presentations, memoranda, briefs, filings, arguments, and proposals. Each party shall, where

practical, give notice to the other party with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or the staff or regulators of any Governmental Authority, with such notice being sufficient to provide the other party with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact.

(d) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give all notices to, and obtain all consents from, all third parties that are listed in Section 3.08 of the Disclosure Schedules, including, without limitation, the Store Lender Consent, and to obtain all consents and agreements from third parties necessary to facilitate or obtain any Governmental Approval required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that neither the Company nor Sellers shall be obligated to pay any material consideration therefor to any third party from whom consent or approval is requested. As soon as practical after the date hereof, and in all events prior to Closing, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to secure the Lender Consent (as defined therein) required under that certain First Amendment to Lease by and between Store SPE Starplex, LLC, as Lessor, and Starplex Operating, LLC, as Lessee, in order to cause that First Amendment to Lease to be effective in a form and upon terms reasonably acceptable to Buyer (the “Store Lender Consent”).

Section 5.10 Access to Information; Cooperation; Books and Records.

(a) From the date hereof until Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (i) afford Buyer and its representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, to the offices, properties, plants, other facilities, books and records of the Acquired Companies and to those representatives of the Acquired Companies who have any knowledge relating to any Acquired Company, (ii) furnish to Buyer and its representatives such financial and operating data and other information relating to the Acquired Companies as such Persons may reasonably request and (iii) cooperate with Buyer in its investigation of the Acquired Companies.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to), during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, make available and provide the Representative, each Seller and their respective representatives (including, without limitation, counsel and independent auditors) with access to the facilities and properties of the Acquired Companies and to all information, files, documents and records (written and computer) relating to the Acquired Companies or any of their businesses or operations for any and all periods prior to and including the Closing Date that they may reasonably require with respect to any reasonable business purpose (including, without limitation, any matter pursuant to Section 5.05 and Section 7.05) or in connection with any claim, dispute, action, cause of action, investigation or proceeding of any kind by or against any Person, and shall (and shall cause the Acquired Companies) to cooperate fully with the Representative, the Sellers and their respective representatives (including counsel and independent auditors) in connection with the foregoing, at the sole cost and expense of Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, including, without limitation, by making tax, accounting and financial personnel and other appropriate employees and officers of the Acquired Companies available to the Representative, the Sellers and their respective representatives (including counsel and independent auditors), with regard to any reasonable business purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Representative and the Sellers shall not have access to any information protected by the attorney-client privilege or other

applicable privilege or to personnel records of any Acquired Company relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information that in Buyer’s good faith opinion is sensitive or the disclosure of which could subject any Acquired Company to risk of liability; provided, however, that the Representative and the Sellers shall not be prohibited from accessing such information pursuant to a valid court order.

(c) For a period of seven (7) years after the Closing Date or such other longer period as required by applicable Laws, Buyer shall preserve and retain in accordance with its document retention policies and procedures, all corporate, accounting, legal, auditing, human resources and other books and records of the Acquired Companies relating to the conduct of the business and operations of the Acquired Companies prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during such seven-year period, Buyer may dispose of any such books and records which are offered to, but not accepted by, the Representative.

Section 5.11 Closing Conditions. From the date hereof until Closing, each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary to expeditiously satisfy the Closing conditions for such party set forth in Article VI.

Section 5.12 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, no party to this Agreement shall make any public announcements in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of Buyer and the Representative. Buyer and the Representative shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of a mutually acceptable public announcement in connection with the signing of this Agreement and the Closing. Nothing contained herein shall limit the Buyer or its Affiliates from holding conference calls or discussions with analysts regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby after the parties have issued a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement.

Section 5.13 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances, and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.14 Seller Releases. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller, on such Seller’s own behalf and on behalf of such Seller’s past, present and future agents, attorneys, administrators, heirs, executors, spouses, trustees, beneficiaries, representatives, successors and assigns claiming by or through such Seller, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably RELEASES and FOREVER DISCHARGES each of the Acquired Companies, and their respective past, present and future directors, managers, members, shareholders, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns, from the following: all claims (including any derivative claim on behalf of any Person), actions, causes of action, suits, arbitrations, proceedings, debts, liabilities, obligations, sums of money, accounts, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, damages, fees, expenses, judgments, executions, indemnification rights, claims and demands arising out, relating to, against or in any way connected with any of the Acquired Companies, in respect of any and all

agreements, liabilities or obligations entered into or incurred on or prior to the Closing Date, or in respect of any action taken or event occurring or circumstances existing on or prior to the Closing Date, whether or not relating to claims pending on, or asserted after, the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing release does not extend to, include or restrict or limit in any way, and each Seller hereby reserves such Seller’s rights, if any, and the right of the other Sellers, if any, (a) to pursue (or cause or permit to be pursued by the Representative) any and all claims, actions or rights that such Seller may now or in future have solely on account of rights of such Seller under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other documents entered into in connection herewith or therewith, (b) to receive payments of any unpaid accrued payroll, accrued bonuses, severance benefits, vacation and similar benefits (including unpaid business expense reimbursement) exiting as of the Closing Date, (c) its rights to receive the Purchase Price including its portion of the Escrow Amount, (d) any other claim that may arise in the future based on events or circumstances occurring in the future, (e) its rights to be indemnified under the certificate of formation or bylaws, or other similar governing documents, of an Acquired Company and (f) the rights under this Section 5.14; provided, further, the release and discharge provided above is given merely in each such Seller’s capacity as an equityholder of the Acquired Companies and not, in any event, as a lender or creditor to, or as an administrative or collateral agent for any group of lenders or creditors to, any of the Acquired Companies.

Section 5.15 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) As an inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each of the four Sellers with the largest ownership interests in the Company, including Trinity Xxxx Partners III, L.P. (each, a “Restricted Seller”), agrees that, until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, such Restricted Seller and his or its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly: (i) acquire, own, have an equity interest in, lend money to, manage, control or participate in the ownership, management or control of, or consult with, advise or provide any other services for compensation to, any Person engaged, directly or indirectly, in any Competitive Business, anywhere within a ten (10) mile radius of any theater operated by any Acquired Company as of the Closing Date, provided, that, the foregoing shall not prohibit (x) any Restricted Seller or his or its Affiliates from owning a passive investment of two percent (2%) or less of the outstanding equity of any publicly traded company and (y) Xxxxx Xxxxxx from continuing to own a passive investment of up to seventeen percent (17%) of Picture Shows Entertainment; or (ii) solicit or attempt to divert the business of any supplier of any Acquired Company as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict the solicitation of any such supplier to the extent such solicitation is conducted by or on behalf of a Person that is not involved in a Competitive Business.

(b) As an inducement for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Sellers agree that, until the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, none of the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit for employment or hire any director, officer or employee of any Acquired Company; or (ii) induce or encourage any director, officer or employee of any Acquired Company to terminate his or her employment with such Acquired Company; provided that nothing in this Section 5.15(b) shall prevent any Person from placing general advertisements or solicitations that are not targeted toward employees of the Acquired Companies.

(c) The Sellers acknowledge that the covenants of the Sellers set forth in this Section 5.15 are an essential element of this Agreement and that any breach of any provision of this Section 5.15 will result in irreparable injury to Buyer. The Sellers acknowledge that in the event of such a breach, in addition to all other remedies available at law, Buyer shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, as well as such other damages as may be appropriate. The Sellers have independently consulted with their counsel and after such consultation agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 5.15 are reasonable and proper to protect the legitimate interest of Buyer.

(d) If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the character, duration or geographical scope of the provisions of this Section 5.15 are unreasonable, it is the intention and the agreement of the parties that these provisions shall be construed by the court in such a manner as to impose only those restrictions on the Sellers’ conduct that are reasonable in light of the circumstances and as are necessary to assure to Buyer the benefits of this Agreement. If, in any judicial proceeding, a court shall refuse to enforce all of the separate covenants of this Section 5.15 because taken together they are more extensive than necessary to assure to Buyer the intended benefits of this Agreement, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties that the provisions hereof that, if eliminated, would permit the remaining separate provisions to be enforced in such proceeding, shall be deemed eliminated from this Agreement.

Section 5.16 Facility Repairs. Prior to Closing, the Company agrees that it will use, and cause its Subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts to complete all repairs listed on Schedule III attached hereto (the “Theater Repairs”). As soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Company and Buyer shall engage, at the Company’s cost, an independent inspection firm selected by Buyer (the “Inspection Firm”) to inspect the theaters for the repairs enumerated as Items 1-4, 7, 8, 9 and 15 listed on Schedule III (the “Major Repairs”) and to determine the scope of the work needed to complete each Major Repair and the cost of such work. Following each such inspection, the Company and Buyer will mutually agree upon a plan of remediation and the cost for each Major Repair (the “Agreed Remediation Plan”); provided the cost of each Major Repair shall not exceed the amount set forth in the “Total” column on Schedule III for such repair. Once the Agreed Remediation Plan is established, the Company shall undertake the repairs of such theaters in accordance with the Agreed Remediation Plan. In addition, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practical after the date hereof, undertake the repairs enumerated as Items 5, 6 and 10-14 listed on Schedule III (the “Other Repairs”). To the extent any Theater Repairs are not completed prior to Closing, (x) in accordance with the Agreed Remediation Plan as certified by the Inspection Firm for each Major Repair or (y) to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer for the Other Repairs (each, an “Incomplete Repair” and collectively, the “Incomplete Repairs”), the parties hereto agree that an amount equal to (i) the maximum cost of remediation set forth in the “Total” column on Schedule III related to each Incomplete Repair that is an Other Repair, and (ii) the lesser of the amount set forth in the Agreed Remediation Plan or the “Total” column on Schedule III related to each Incomplete Repair that is a Major Repair (the “Repair Amount”) shall be added to the Escrow Amount and held in the Escrow Account pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, solely for the purpose of providing funds to complete the Incomplete Repairs. After Closing, Buyer shall supply to the Representative customary documentation of the expenditures made by Buyer after the Closing to complete the Incomplete Repairs (the “Documentation”). Within five (5) Business Days after Buyer delivers the Documentation for each Incomplete Repair to the

Representative, Buyer and the Representative shall submit joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the actual amount spent by Buyer after the Closing to complete the Incomplete Repair, and (ii) the maximum cost of remediation set forth in the “Total” column on Schedule III applicable to each such Incomplete Repair (or if the Incomplete Repair was a Major Repair and an amount equal to the amount set forth in the Agreed Remediation Plan was deposited in the Escrow Account, the amount set forth in the Agreed Remediation Plan). Buyer specifically acknowledges the terms of this Section 5.16 and agrees that (x) the condition of the theaters requiring the Theater Repairs is not a breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or the Sellers hereunder, (y) the condition of the theaters requiring the Theater Repairs does not constitute, and will not be taken into account in determining, a Material Adverse Effect and (z) the failure of the Company and its Subsidiaries to complete all Theater Repairs is not a condition of Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Closing.

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VII, Buyer shall indemnify the Sellers against, and shall hold the Sellers harmless from and against, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, any Seller based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement; or

(b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.04 Certain Limitations. Any party making a claim under this Article VII is referred to as an “Indemnified Party,” and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party.” The indemnification provided for in Section 5.05(b) and Article VII shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Sellers shall not be liable to an Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.02(a)(i) and (ii) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.02(a)(i) and (ii) exceeds 0.75% of the Base Purchase Price (the “Deductible”), in which event Sellers shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided that the Deductible shall not apply to any Losses as result of a breach of the Several Representations or the Fundamental Representations or resulting from Fraud.

(b) Subject to the other limitations imposed by this Article VII, all claims against the Sellers for indemnification under this Agreement, including any claims for the Tax Indemnity and claims under Article VII, shall be paid and satisfied solely from the Escrow Account, to the extent of any funds then remaining therein; provided, however, that (i) Losses resulting from the common law liability of any Seller to Buyer for fraud in the event of a final determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any Seller committed fraud against Buyer (“Fraud”), and (ii) Losses resulting from the indemnification provisions of Section 7.02(b), in each case, shall

not be satisfied from the Escrow Account but, instead, Buyer may recover such Losses directly from the offending Seller.

(c) Each Seller’s maximum liability hereunder for any indemnification claims for the Several Representations or for any Seller’s Fraud shall not, when aggregated with all other indemnification obligations hereunder, exceed the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller.

(d) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 5.05(b) or Article VII in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by the Indemnified Party (or an Acquired Company) in respect of any such claim. The Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under other insurance policies for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement. In the event any Indemnifying Party pays any indemnification amount to an Indemnified Party, and such Indemnified Party then receives an insurance payment, or other indemnity or contribution payment, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to such Indemnifying Party a refund equal to the aggregate amount of such recovery but not in excess of the amount previously paid by such Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party for the indemnification claim.

(e) Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise to an indemnification obligation hereunder; provided, however, that no Indemnified Party or its Affiliates shall be required to make any material monetary expenditure, commence or participate in any proceeding, offer or grant any material accommodation to any Person, or take, or refrain from taking, any action that would or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the business, operations, results or condition (financial or otherwise) of such Indemnified Party or its Affiliates in any material respect in connection with such mitigation.

(f) No Seller shall have any liability with respect to either Fraud or a breach of any of the Several Representations by any other Seller, and Buyer agrees not to seek recovery against a Seller with respect to either Fraud or a breach of the Several Representations by another Seller.

(g) Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Agreement, the amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 7.02 shall be calculated net of any amounts to the extent, but only to the extent, specifically reflected or reserved for in the Financial Statements or the Final Balance Sheet and taken into account in determining the amount of the Purchase Price pursuant to Article II.

(h) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple (collectively, “Excess Damages”); provided, however, this limitation shall not be applicable to

indemnification claims for Excess Damages required to be paid to a third party by an Indemnified Party as a result of a Third-Party Claim.

(i) If an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under more than one clause or subclause of this Agreement with respect to Losses, then such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to only one indemnification or recovery for such Losses to the extent it arises out of the same set of circumstances and events; it being understood that this Section 7.04(j) is solely to preclude a duplicate recovery by an Indemnified Party (i.e., recovery in excess of actual damages).

(j) Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer shall not seek or be entitled to indemnification for any Losses based upon or relating to the Theater Repairs or the Lease Amendments (including, without limitation, any alleged breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.10 solely related to either the Company’s historical accounting treatment of the Leases or the Lease Amendments).

Section 7.05 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall in good faith give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually disadvantaged by such failure or delay or forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or delay. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend or appeal pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. The Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.09) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other

than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not agree to settle any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 7.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement thereof without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted in good faith by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually disadvantaged by such failure or delay or forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure or delay. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party.

(d) After any final judgment or decree has been rendered by any court of competent jurisdiction, a settlement of a Third-Party Claim shall have been consummated or Buyer and Representative have arrived at an agreement with respect to an indemnification claim hereunder, then Buyer and Representative shall promptly deliver a joint written direction to the Escrow Agent to release amounts from the Escrow Account to Buyer to satisfy such indemnification claim. A judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken have been finally determined.

Section 7.06 Exclusive Remedies. The parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all monetary claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set

forth in Section 5.05(b) and this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for monetary damages for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.05(b) and this Article VII. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, no legal action sounding in tort, statute or strict liability may be maintained by any party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall limit a party’s ability to bring a claim based upon Fraud.

ARTICLE VIII.

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02 shall not have been fulfilled by the Outside Date (other than those conditions, which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), unless such failure shall be due to the failure of Buyer to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to Closing; or

(ii) any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.03 shall not have been fulfilled by the Outside Date (other than those conditions, which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), unless such failure shall be due to the failure of the Company, the Representative or any Sellers to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by it prior to Closing; or

(d) by Buyer or the Company in the event that:

Section 9.04 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 9.05 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.11 Specific Performance. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all rights and remedies of each of the parties under this Agreement will be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement, applicable Law or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that irreparable damages would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed, or threatened not to be performed, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be adequate for any such damages. It is accordingly agreed that Buyer, the Representative (after Closing) or the Company (on behalf of Sellers before Closing) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is explicitly agreed that in the event that Section 6.01(a) is satisfied and Section 6.02(e) remains true as of such time, the Company and Sellers (acting through the Representative) shall be entitled to specific performance of Closing, Buyer’s obligation to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be fully and timely funded and the other transactions contemplated hereby. The parties hereto further agree that no party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referenced in this Section 9.11 and the parties waive any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument; provided, however, to the extent any such bond or similar instrument

is required by applicable Law or Governmental Order, the parties expressly agree and intend that a bond or similar instrument in the amount of $100 shall be sufficient and reasonable.

Section 9.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

Section 9.13 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the Persons that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, shareholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any party hereto or of any Affiliate of any party hereto, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim or action based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.14 Conflicts. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its representatives and Affiliates, that the Company is the client of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx LLP (“AK LLP”) and that AK LLP has jointly represented the Company and the Sellers in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. After the Closing, it is possible that AK LLP will represent one or more of the Sellers, the Representative and/or their respective representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Group”) in connection with a variety of matters, including matters adverse or potentially adverse to the interests of Buyer and/or the Acquired Companies. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees that AK LLP (or any successor) may serve as counsel to all or a portion of the Seller Group, in connection with any such matter arising after the Closing Date. Each of the parties hereto consents to such representation, and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in connection herewith. Each of the parties further agrees that all communications or privileged materials between AK LLP, on the one hand, and the Company (or any representative of the Company) or a Seller, on the other hand, prior to the Closing (together with any other legally protected or privileged communications or materials including those between members of the Seller Group), in each case solely related to the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, “Privileged Materials”) are the property of the Sellers (as a group) and that Buyer and the Company cannot obtain copies of, or access to, any such Privileged Materials without a waiver from the Representative. Each of the parties expressly agrees that, at and after the Closing (and continuing indefinitely thereafter), any privilege related to any of the Privileged Materials shall be solely controlled by the Sellers acting collectively through the Representative. Buyer further agrees that it will not and that it will not direct any Acquired Company to seek to obtain any such Privileged Materials, including by way of review of any electronic communications or documents or by seeking to have the Sellers and/or the Representative waive the attorney-client or other privilege, or by otherwise asserting

that Buyer or any Acquired Company has the right to waive the attorney-client or other privilege. In the event that Buyer or any Acquired Company is required by Governmental Order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of such Privileged Materials, Buyer shall immediately (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify the Representative in writing (including by making specific reference to this Section 9.14) so that the Representative can seek a protective order and Buyer agrees to use all commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.

Section 9.15 Shareholders Agreements Termination. The Company and each of the Sellers hereby agrees, effective as of the date hereof, that (1) the Shareholders Agreement of the Company, dated as of December 21, 2012, as amended by the documents listed in (2) and (3) below, by and among the Company, and each of the Starplex Shareholders and Showplex Shareholders (as such terms are defined therein), (2) the Joinder Agreement, dated February 7, 2014, by and among the Company, Xxxxx Capital CP Funding LLC, GCP Equity Ltd., Xxxxx Capital BDC Holdings, LLC, GC Advisors LLC, as agent for RGA Operating Company, Xxxxx Capital PEARLS Direct Lending Program, L.P., and PEARLS VIII, L.P. (collectively, the “Xxxxx Partners”), and (3) the Letter Agreement, dated February 7, 2014, by and among the Company, Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Trinity Xxxx Partners III, L.P., and the Xxxxx Partners shall terminate and cease to be effective without any further action by the Sellers or the Company. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and the Sellers hereby waive all rights, including all consent rights and rights of first refusal, and other limitations on the sale of the Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that are currently contained in such shareholders agreements. In the event that Closing shall not occur for any reason, this Section 9.15 shall be void and such shareholders agreements shall continue to be in full force and effect.

Section 9.16 Attorneys’ Fees. The prevailing party in any dispute between Buyer and the Sellers arising out of the interpretation, application or enforcement of any provisions hereof shall be entitled to recover all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs whether suit be filed or not, including, without limitation, cost and attorneys’ fees related to or arising out of any trial or appellate proceedings.
