SEPARATION AGREEMENT

This Separation Agreement (this “Agreement”) is dated as of June 25, 2014, by and between Xxxxxx Industries Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Navy”) and Xxxxxx Red Lion Limited, a Bermuda exempted company and currently a wholly owned Subsidiary of Navy (“Red Lion”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article VI.

RECITALS

1. Navy is engaged, directly and indirectly, in the Red Lion Business;

2. As a condition to the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, among Navy, Red Lion and C&J Energy Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Xxxxx”) (the “Merger Agreement”), Navy is required to separate the Red Lion Business from the other businesses of Navy;

3. The Board of Directors of Navy has determined that it would be in the best interests of Navy and its shareholders to separate the Red Lion Business from the other businesses of Navy and enter into the Merger Agreement;

4. Navy currently owns all of the issued and outstanding common shares, par value $1.00 per share, of Red Lion (the “Red Lion Common Shares”);

5. Navy and Red Lion have each determined that it would be appropriate and desirable for Navy, Red Lion and Red Lion’s Subsidiaries to undergo a restructuring (the “Red Lion Restructuring” which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include the incurrence of the Red Lion Financing or the entry into the Debt Financing Agreements, the Note Repayment, the consummation of the Merger or any events occurring following the Effective Time), which will include certain distributions that are intended to qualify as a series of distributions subject to Sections 332, 351, 355 and 368 of the Code or, in the case of restructuring Red Lion Assets located in Canada, a sale subject to Section 1001 of the Code, as a result of which the Red Lion Group will, directly or indirectly, own solely Navy’s well services and completion business in Canada (the “Canada Completion Business”) and well services and completion business in the United States (the “U.S. Completion Business,” and together with the Canada Completion Business, the “Red Lion Business”), and the distribution to Navy certain entities not engaged in the Red Lion Business, such that following the Red Lion Restructuring, Red Lion’s remaining assets and liabilities will consist solely of the Red Lion Business, and Navy will be issued additional Red Lion Common Shares;

6. Navy and Red Lion contemplate that, concurrently with or immediately following the Red Lion Restructuring as further described herein, USHC will incur indebtedness (as defined in the Merger Agreement, the “Red Lion Financing”), and will enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto (the “Debt Financing Agreements”), to be used to fund the repayment of certain intercompany notes (collectively, the “Notes”) with an aggregate face amount of $829,820,225 to be issued to Xxxxxx Industries Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Indigo”) and/or one or more other Navy Subsidiaries, and $108,250,000 to be issued to Xxxxxx Drilling Canada Limited, an Alberta Corporation (“Alberta”), (the “Note Repayment,” and the Red Lion Financing, and the entry into the Debt Financing Agreements, together with the Red Lion Share Issuance, collectively, the “Recapitalization”);

7. This Agreement is intended to be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g) with respect to the Recapitalization;

8. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, a corporation to be organized under the laws of the State of Delaware that will be a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Red Lion (“Merger Sub”) will merge with and into Xxxxx (the “Merger”), with Xxxxx surviving the Merger as a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of Red Lion and each common share, par value $0.01 per share, of Xxxxx (“Xxxxx Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive one Red Lion Common Share on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement;

9. Immediately after the Merger, Red Lion will transfer Xxxxx to a limited liability company to be organized under the laws of Luxembourg and wholly owned by Red Lion (“LuxCo”), thereafter LuxCo will transfer Xxxxx to a corporation to be organized under the laws of the State of Delaware as a direct wholly owned Subsidiary of LuxCo (“USHC”); and

10. The Parties intend in this Agreement to set forth the principal arrangements between them regarding the Red Lion Restructuring and the Recapitalization, and certain other agreements that will govern certain matters relating to the Red Lion Restructuring and the Recapitalization and the relationship of Navy, Red Lion and their respective Subsidiaries.

Accordingly, the Parties agree as follows:

The intention of this clause (xv) is only to rectify any inadvertent omission of Conveyance of any Assets that, had the Parties given specific consideration to such Asset as of the date of this Agreement, would have otherwise been classified as a Red Lion Asset.

A single Asset may fall within more than one of clauses (i) through (xv) in this Section 1.4(a); such fact does not imply that (x) such Asset must be Conveyed more than once or (y) any duplication of such Asset is required. The fact that an Asset may be excluded under one clause does not imply that it is not intended to be included under another.

(xiii) all Liabilities of any member of the Red Lion Group or Xxxxx Group under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements.

A single Liability may fall within more than one of clauses (i) through (xiii) in this Section 1.5(a); such fact does not imply that (x) such Liability must be Conveyed more than once or (y) any duplication of such Liability is required. The fact that a Liability may be excluded under one clause does not imply that it is not intended to be included under another.

(viii) any and all Liabilities of any member of the Navy Group not included in any of the clauses in Section 1.5(a).

The Parties acknowledge and agree that neither Red Lion nor any other member of the Red Lion Group will be required to assume or retain any Excluded Liabilities as a result of the Conveyance of the Red Lion Entity Interests, and that if any of the Red Lion Entities is liable for any Excluded Liabilities, such Excluded Liabilities will be assumed by Navy as contemplated by Section 1.2(b).

No such Contract (including any provision thereof which purports to survive termination) will be of any further force or effect after the Separation Time and all parties will be released from all Liabilities thereunder. Each Party will, at the reasonable request of any other Party, take, or cause to be taken, such other actions as may be necessary to effect the foregoing.

(i) any Contracts listed or described on Schedule 1.6(b)(i);

- 9 -

(v) any Contracts to which any non-wholly owned Subsidiary of Navy or Red Lion, as the case may be, is a party (it being understood that (x) directors’ qualifying shares or similar interests will be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a Subsidiary is wholly owned and (y) to the extent that the rights and Liabilities of the Parties and the members of their respective Groups under any such Contracts constitute Red Lion Assets or Red Lion Liabilities, they will be Conveyed pursuant to Section 1.1(a) or Section 1.1(b), or allocated pursuant to Section 1.7(c)).

(c) Settlement of Intercompany Accounts. Except as provided in Section 1.12, all of the intercompany receivables, payables, loans and other accounts between Red Lion or any member of the Red Lion Group, on the one hand, and Navy or any member of the Navy Group, on the other hand, in existence as of immediately prior to the Separation Time (collectively, the “Intercompany Accounts”) will be settled at or prior to the Separation Time.

Section 1.7 Governmental Approvals and Third-Party Consents.

(a) Obtaining Consents. To the extent that the consummation of the Red Lion Restructuring requires any third-party Consents or Governmental Approvals, subject to the next two sentences, the Parties will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Consents or Governmental Approvals, as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1.7(b). However, unless required to do so in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement, Navy will under no circumstance be required to make any payments or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, regardless of any provision to the contrary in the underlying Contract, including any requirements for the securing or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments, or the furnishing of any guarantees) to any third party to obtain any Consent or Governmental Approvals unless and to the extent that Red Lion or Xxxxx agrees to reimburse and make whole Navy to Navy’s reasonable satisfaction for any payment or other accommodation made by Navy at Red Lion’s request. Red Lion hereby agrees to reimburse and make whole Navy to Navy’s reasonable satisfaction any payment or other accommodation made by Navy in respect of the third-party Consents or Governmental Approvals specifically identified as a “Required Consent” on Schedule 1.7 in an aggregate amount not exceeding that amount set forth in Schedule 1.7. Red Lion agrees that in the event that any third party or Governmental Authority requests that Navy make a payment or offer or grant an accommodation to obtain a third-party Consents or Governmental Approvals and Red Lion does not agree to reimburse or make whole Navy in connection therewith, Red Lion shall not be entitled to the benefits of the provision in, Navy will not be obligated to take any efforts under, Section 1.7(c) in respect of any Red Lion Asset, Red Lion Liability, Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability which Conveyance is subject to such third-party Consents or Governmental Approvals. For the avoidance of doubt, the required efforts and responsibilities of the Parties (i) to seek the Consents necessary to provide the Services (as defined in the Red Lion TSA) will be governed by Article III of the Red Lion TSA and (ii) to seek the Requisite Regulatory Approvals (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the Required Xxxxx Vote (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be governed by the Merger Agreement. The obligations set forth in this

Section 1.7(a) will terminate on the one-year anniversary of the Separation Time (except for any such Consent or Governmental Approvals as are in the process of being obtained on such date, as to which such obligations will continue).

(b) Transfer in Violation of Laws or Requiring Consent or Governmental Approval. If and to the extent that the valid, complete and perfected Conveyance to the Red Lion Group of any Red Lion Asset or Red Lion Liability, or to the Navy Group of any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, would be a violation of applicable Laws or require any Consent or Governmental Approval in connection with the Red Lion Restructuring or the Recapitalization, then notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Conveyance to the Red Lion Group of any such Red Lion Asset or Red Lion Liability, or to the Navy Group of any such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, will automatically be deferred, and no Conveyance will occur until all legal or contractual impediments are removed or such Consents or Governmental Approvals have been obtained. Any Asset or Liability which Conveyance has been so deferred will still be considered a Red Lion Asset, a Red Lion Liability, an Excluded Asset, or an Excluded Liability, as applicable, and will be subject to Section 1.7(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Navy or Red Lion may elect to require the immediate Conveyance of any Red Lion Asset, Red Lion Liability, Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability notwithstanding any requirement that an immaterial Consent or immaterial Governmental Approval be obtained; provided that (i) if Red Lion so elects to require the immediate Conveyance of any such Asset or Liability, any Liabilities arising from such Conveyance will be deemed to be Red Lion Liabilities, (ii) if Navy so elects to require the immediate Conveyance of any such Asset or Liability, any Liabilities arising from such Conveyance will be deemed to be Excluded Liabilities, and (iii) if Red Lion and Navy jointly agree to immediately Convey such Asset or Liability, any Liabilities arising from such Conveyance will be shared evenly between Red Lion and Navy and, notwithstanding any provision in Section 3.5(b) to the contrary, the defense of any Third-Party Claim relating thereto will be jointly managed by Red Lion and Navy. The Parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain any Consents or Governmental Approvals as required by Section 1.7(a) and to take the actions required by Section 1.7(c) pending removal of legal or contractual impediments or receipt of Consents or Governmental Approvals. If and when the legal or contractual impediments the presence of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Asset or Liability pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) are removed or any Consents and/or Governmental Approvals the absence of which caused the deferral of transfer of any Asset or Liability pursuant to this Section 1.7(b) are obtained, the transfer of the applicable Asset or Liability will be effected promptly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and/or the applicable Ancillary Agreement(s). The obligations set forth in this Section 1.7(b) will terminate on the one-year anniversary of the Separation Time (except to the extent of any Conveyance for which impediments are being removed or Consents or Governmental Approvals as are in the process of being obtained on such date, as to which such obligations will continue).

(c) Conveyances Not Consummated Prior To or At the Separation Time. Subject to the third sentence of Section 1.7(a), if the Conveyance of any Asset or Liability intended to be Conveyed is not consummated prior to or at the Separation Time, whether as a result of the provisions of Section 1.7(b) or for any other reason (including any misallocated transfers subject to Section 1.3), then, insofar as reasonably possible (taking into account any applicable restrictions or considerations relating to the contemplated Tax treatment of the Transactions) and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Person retaining such Asset or Liability, as the

- 11 -

case may be, (i) will thereafter hold such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, in trust for the use and benefit and burden of the Person entitled thereto (and at such Person’s sole expense) until the consummation of the Conveyance thereof (or as otherwise determined by Navy and Red Lion, as applicable, in accordance with Section 1.7(b)), and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to take such other actions as may be reasonably requested by the Person to whom such Asset or Liability is to be Conveyed (at the expense of the Person holding such Asset or Liability, as the case may be) in order to place such Person in substantially the same position as if such Asset or Liability had been Conveyed as contemplated hereby and so that all the benefits and burdens relating to such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, including possession, use, risk of loss, potential for gain, any Tax liabilities in respect thereof and dominion, control and command over such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, are to inure from and after the Separation Time to the Person to whom such Asset or Liability is to be Conveyed. Any Person retaining an Asset or a Liability due to the deferral of the Conveyance of such Asset or Liability, as the case may be, will not be required, in connection with the foregoing, to make any payments or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise, regardless of any provision to the contrary in the underlying Contract, including any requirements for the securing or posting of any bonds, letters of credit or similar instruments, or the furnishing of any guarantees) to any third party, except to the extent that the Person entitled to the Asset or responsible for the Liability, as applicable, agrees to reimburse and make whole the Person retaining an Asset or a Liability, to such Person’s reasonable satisfaction, for any payment or other accommodation made by the Person retaining an Asset or a Liability at the request of the Person entitled to the Asset or responsible for the Liability. The obligations set forth in this Section 1.7(c) will terminate on the one-year anniversary of the Separation Time (except of any such Conveyances as are in the process of being consummated on such date, as to which such obligations will continue).

Section 1.8 No Representation or Warranty. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT, RED LION (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND MEMBERS OF THE RED LION GROUP) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NONE OF NAVY NOR ANY MEMBER OF THE NAVY GROUP MAKES ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY HEREIN AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO: (A) THE CONDITION OR THE VALUE OF ANY RED LION ASSET OR THE AMOUNT OF ANY RED LION LIABILITY; (B) THE FREEDOM FROM ANY SECURITY INTEREST OF ANY RED LION ASSET; (C) THE ABSENCE OF DEFENSES OR FREEDOM FROM COUNTERCLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM TO BE CONVEYED TO RED LION OR HELD BY A MEMBER OF THE RED LION GROUP; OR (D) ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR TITLE. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT, RED LION (ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND MEMBERS OF THE RED LION GROUP) FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL OTHER WARRANTIES THAT NAVY OR ANY MEMBER OF THE NAVY GROUP GAVE OR MIGHT HAVE GIVEN, OR WHICH MIGHT BE PROVIDED OR IMPLIED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR COMMERCIAL PRACTICE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR IN THE MERGER

- 12 -

AGREEMENT, ALL ASSETS TO BE TRANSFERRED TO RED LION (AND ALL OF THE RED LION ASSETS HELD BY THE RED LION ENTITIES) WILL BE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT ANY COVENANT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED) AND ARE HELD “AS IS, WHERE IS” AND FROM AND AFTER THE CLOSING RED LION WILL BEAR THE ECONOMIC AND LEGAL RISK THAT ANY CONVEYANCE WILL PROVE TO BE INSUFFICIENT TO VEST IN RED LION GOOD AND MARKETABLE TITLE, FREE AND CLEAR OF ANY SECURITY INTEREST OR ANY NECESSARY CONSENTS OR GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS THAT ARE NOT OBTAINED OR THAT ANY REQUIREMENTS OF LAWS ARE NOT COMPLIED WITH.

Section 1.9 Waiver of Bulk-Sales Laws. Each Party hereby waives compliance by each member of their respective Group with the requirements and provisions of the “bulk-sale” or “bulk-transfer” Laws of any jurisdiction that may otherwise be applicable with respect to the transfer or sale of any or all of the Assets to any member of the Navy Group or Red Lion Group, as applicable.

Section 1.10 Real Property Leases; Guarantees.

(a) On or prior to the Separation Time or as soon as practicable thereafter, Red Lion will, at the direction and expense of Navy, use its reasonable best efforts to have any member(s) of the Navy Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Red Lion Liability to the extent that they relate to Red Lion Liabilities (with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable member(s) of the Navy Group).

(b) On or prior to the Separation Time, to the extent required to obtain a release from an agreement (including any lease of a Real Property Interest) or a guarantee (each, a “Guarantee Release”) of any member of the Navy Group, Red Lion will use its reasonable best efforts to execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing agreement or guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such agreement or guarantee.

(c) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 1.10, (i) Red Lion will, and will cause the other members of the Red Lion Group (including after the Effective Time, the Xxxxx Group) to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Navy Indemnitees for any Liability arising from or relating to such agreement or guarantee and will, as agent or subcontractor for the applicable Navy Group guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder when due, and (ii) Red Lion will not, and will cause the other members of the Red Lion Group not to, agree to renew or extend the term of, increase any obligations under, or transfer to a third Person, any loan, guarantee, lease, contract or other obligation for which a member of the Navy Group is or may be liable unless all obligations of the members of the Navy Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Navy in its sole discretion.

(d) On or prior to the Separation Time or as soon as practicable thereafter, Navy will, at its expense, use its reasonable best efforts to have any member(s) of the Red Lion Group removed as guarantor of or obligor for any Excluded Liability to the extent that they relate to Excluded Liabilities (with the reasonable cooperation of the applicable member(s) of the Red Lion Group or Xxxxx Group).

- 13 -

(e) On or prior to the Separation Time, to the extent required to obtain a Guarantee Release of any member of the Red Lion Group, Navy will use its reasonable best efforts to execute a guarantee agreement in the form of the existing agreement or guarantee or such other form as is agreed to by the relevant parties to such agreement or guarantee.

(f) If the Parties are unable to obtain, or to cause to be obtained, any such required removal as set forth in clauses (d) and (e) of this Section 1.10, (i) Navy will, and will cause the other members of the Navy Group to, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Red Lion Indemnitees for any Liability arising from or relating to such agreement or guarantee and will, as agent or subcontractor for the applicable Red Lion Group guarantor or obligor, pay, perform and discharge fully all the obligations or other Liabilities of such guarantor or obligor thereunder when due, and (ii) Navy will not, and will cause the other members of the Navy Group not to, agree to renew or extend the term of, increase any obligations under, or transfer to a third Person, any loan, guarantee, lease, contract or other obligation for which a member of the Red Lion Group is or may be liable unless all obligations of the members of the Red Lion Group with respect thereto are thereupon terminated by documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Red Lion in its sole discretion.

Section 1.11 Exemption Certificates. Navy will cause Red Lion or a Subsidiary of Red Lion, as applicable, to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Navy on or before the Separation Date properly executed resale exemption certificates and requisite tax registration numbers for the Red Lion Inventory (and, where relevant in accordance with applicable local Law, for any tangible personal property and any other Red Lion Assets), and such other certificates and documentation as may be required to reasonably evidence any exemption from transfer Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties, as applicable, are and remain responsible for all transfer Taxes in accordance with the Tax Matters Agreement.

Section 1.12 Note Repayment. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Notes will survive the Separation Time. At the Closing, if the full proceeds of the Red Lion Financing are available to USHC, USHC will make the Note Repayment to Indigo and Alberta, as applicable.

ARTICLE II

CLOSING OF THE RED LION RESTRUCTURING;

POST-CLOSING WORKING CAPITAL ADJUSTMENT

Section 2.1 Separation Time. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction and waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 2.2, the effective time and date of each Conveyance and assumption of any Asset or Liability in accordance with Article I in connection with the Red Lion Restructuring will be no later than 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on the Business Day anticipated to precede the Closing Date (such time, the “Separation Time,” and such date, the “Separation Date”).

- 14 -

Section 2.2 Conditions to the Red Lion Restructuring. The obligations of Navy pursuant to this Agreement to effect the Red Lion Restructuring are subject to the fulfillment (or waiver by Navy) at or prior to the Separation Time of the condition that each of the parties to the Merger Agreement has irrevocably confirmed to each other that each condition in Article VII of the Merger Agreement (other than Sections 7.1(f) and 7.2(f) thereto) to such party’s respective obligations to effect the Merger (i) has been fulfilled, (ii) will be fulfilled at the Effective Time, or (iii) is or has been waived by such party in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, as the case may be; provided, however, that unless the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms, any such waiver shall be subject to the written consent of Xxxxx.

Section 2.3 Recapitalization of Red Lion. In connection with the Conveyance of Assets contemplated by Section 1.1, immediately prior to the Effective Time, Red Lion will issue to Navy or one of its wholly owned Subsidiaries a number of Red Lion Common Shares such that the total number of Red Lion Common Shares owned by Navy and its Subsidiaries immediately thereafter (the “Red Lion Share Issuance”) will equal (a) the Xxxxx Base Share Number, divided by (b) .4975, multiplied by (c) .5025. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.3, the “Xxxxx Base Share Number” shall equal 61,920,092, which, as calculated on Schedule 2.3, represents the sum of:

(i) the total number of shares of Xxxxx Common Stock (including Restricted Xxxxx Shares, whether or not vested) outstanding as of the date hereof multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;

(ii) the total number of shares of Xxxxx Common Stock subject to issuance upon the exercise or payment of any Xxxxx Stock Options (whether vested or unvested) outstanding as of the date hereof multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;

(iii) the total number of shares of Xxxxx Common Stock that would be issued (including Restricted Xxxxx Shares, whether or not vested) or would be subject to issuance upon the exercise or payment of Xxxxx Stock Options (whether vested or unvested) if Xxxxx issued all of the Xxxxx Stock Options and/or Restricted Xxxxx Shares that it is permitted to issue pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(ii) of the Merger Agreement multiplied by the Exchange Ratio;

(iv) the total number of Red Lion Common Shares subject to issuance upon the exercise or payment of options or other rights to acquire Red Lion Common Shares expected to be issued to employees of Xxxxx or Red Lion in connection with the Merger, whether before, at or after the Effective Time (other than Adjusted Options and Navy Adjusted Options);

(v) the total number of shares of Red Lion Common Shares that will be subject to issuance upon the exercise or payment of any Navy Adjusted Options (whether vested or unvested) at the Effective Time if all of the Navy Stock Options outstanding as of the date hereof that are subject to conversion into Navy Adjusted Options at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.4(a) of the Merger Agreement are so converted; and

- 15 -

(vi) the total number of Adjusted Navy Restricted Shares, whether vested or unvested, that will be outstanding at the Effective Time if all of the Restricted Navy Shares outstanding as of the date hereof and subject to conversion into Adjusted Navy Restricted Shares at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.4(b) of the Merger Agreement are so converted.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if the parties reasonably determine that the calculation set forth on Schedule 2.3 is erroneous (whether because of a computational error, an error in counting the correct number of shares or other instruments, or any other reason) such that Navy has not been issued shares equal the number of shares intended by this Section 2.3, then the parties shall amend Schedule 2.3 to correct such error and the Xxxxx Base Share Number shall be modified accordingly, (y) if Xxxxx issues any shares of Xxxxx Common Stock (including Restricted Xxxxx Shares, whether or not vested), Xxxxx Stock Options or other capital stock or securities, or Red Lion issues (with Penny’s consent if occurring prior to the Effective Time) any options or other rights to acquire Red Lion Common Shares to employees of Xxxxx or Red Lion in connection with the Merger, in either case from and after the date hereof (other than (A) in an issuance pursuant to Section 5.1(c)(ii) of the Merger Agreement that the Merger Agreement expressly provides does not require the prior consent of Navy or (B) for shares already included in the calculation pursuant to clause (iv) above), or (z) if Navy, with the consent of Xxxxx, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, issues any Navy Stock Options or Restricted Navy Shares that are subject to conversion into Navy Adjusted Options or Adjusted Navy Restricted Shares, respectively, at the Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.4 of the Merger Agreement, then the Xxxxx Base Share Number shall be increased by the number of such shares issued or subject to issuance, as applicable, and if necessary additional Red Lion Common Shares will be issued to Navy at or after the Effective Time, with effect retroactive to the Effective Time (including with respect to distributions paid on such Red Lion Common Shares from and after the Effective Time), in each case so that Navy has been issued shares equal to (a) the Xxxxx Base Share Number as so revised, divided by (b) .4975, multiplied by (c) .5025.

Section 2.4 Transfer of the Red Lion Business.

(a) Agreements to be Delivered by Navy. On the Separation Date, Navy will deliver, or will cause its appropriate Subsidiaries to deliver, to Red Lion all of the following instruments:

(ii) a Transition Services Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B in all material respects (the “Red Lion TSA”), duly executed by the members of the Navy Group party thereto;

(iii) a Transition Services Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C in all material respects (the “Navy TSA” and, together with the Red Lion TSA, the “TSAs”), duly executed by the members of the Navy Group party thereto;

- 16 -

(iv) a Tax Matters Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D in all material respects (the “Tax Matters Agreement”), duly executed by the members of the Navy Group party thereto;

(viii) all necessary Transfer Documents as described in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

(b) Agreements to be Delivered by Red Lion. On the Separation Date, Red Lion will deliver, or will cause its Subsidiaries to deliver, as appropriate, to Navy all of the following instruments:

(i) in each case where any member of the Red Lion Group is a party to any Ancillary Agreement, a counterpart of such Ancillary Agreement duly executed by the member of the Red Lion Group party thereto; and

(ii) all necessary Transfer Documents as described in Section 2.5 and Section 2.6.

Section 2.5 Transfer of Red Lion Assets and Assumption of Red Lion Liabilities. In furtherance of the Conveyance of Red Lion Assets and the assumption of Red Lion Liabilities as provided in Section 1.1: (a) Navy will, and will cause its Subsidiaries, to execute and deliver, such bills of sale, quitclaim deeds, stock powers, certificates of title, assignments of contracts and other instruments of transfer, Conveyance and assignment, as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the Conveyance of all of Navy’s and its Subsidiaries’ (other than Red Lion and its Subsidiaries) right, title and interest in and to the Red Lion Assets to Red Lion and its Subsidiaries and (b) Red Lion will execute and deliver such assumptions of Contracts and other instruments of assumption as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption of the Red Lion Liabilities by Red Lion. All of the foregoing documents contemplated by this Section 2.5 will be referred to, collectively, herein as the “Navy Transfer Documents.” For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations with respect to the Conveyance of Red Lion Assets and the assumption of Red Lion Liabilities provided in Section 1.1, and the execution and delivery of documents provided in this Section 2.5, does not extend to the Conveyance of, or execution or delivery of documents with respect to, any Red Lion Assets that are already held as of the Separation Time by Red Lion or a Red Lion Entity (which Red Lion

- 17 -

Asset will continue to be held by Red Lion or such Red Lion Entity) or any Red Lion Liabilities that as of the Separation Time is already a Liability of Red Lion or a Red Lion Entity (which Red Lion Liability will continue to be a Liability of Red Lion or such Red Lion Entity).

Section 2.6 Transfer of Excluded Assets; Assumption of Excluded Liabilities. In furtherance of the Conveyance of Excluded Assets and the assumption of Excluded Liabilities provided in Section 1.2: (a) Red Lion will execute and deliver, and will cause its Subsidiaries to execute and deliver, such bills of sale, quitclaim deeds, stock powers, certificates of title, assignments of contracts and other instruments of transfer, Conveyance and assignment as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the Conveyance of all of Red Lion’s and its Subsidiaries’ right, title and interest in and to the Excluded Assets to Navy and its Subsidiaries and (b) Navy will execute and deliver such assumptions of Contracts and other instruments of assumption as and to the extent reasonably necessary to evidence the valid and effective assumption of the Excluded Liabilities by Navy. All of the foregoing documents contemplated by this Section 2.6 will be referred to, collectively, herein as the “Red Lion Transfer Documents” and, together with the Navy Transfer Documents, the “Transfer Documents.”

Section 2.7 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) At least five days prior to the Separation Date, Red Lion will prepare and deliver to Navy a statement setting forth a good-faith estimate of the Adjustment Amount (such estimate, the “Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement”). On the Separation Date, (i) if the Estimated Adjustment Payment, if any, is positive, Red Lion shall pay to Navy the Estimated Adjustment Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Navy and (ii) if the Estimated Adjustment Payment, if any, is negative, Navy shall pay to Red Lion the absolute value of the Estimated Adjustment Payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Red Lion. The “Estimated Adjustment Payment” will be equal to the Adjustment Amount set forth in the Estimated Closing Adjustment Statement.

(b) Within 60 days following the Separation Date, Red Lion will prepare and deliver to Navy a statement setting forth the Adjustment Amount (the “Closing Adjustment Statement”). Upon the reasonable request of Red Lion, Navy will provide (or will cause a member of the Navy Group to provide) to Red Lion and its accountants access to the books and records, any other information, including working papers of its accountants, and to any employees of Navy or any other member of the Navy Group necessary for Red Lion to prepare the Closing Adjustment Statement, to respond to any Navy Objection and to prepare materials for presentation to the Accounting Firm in connection with this Section 2.7 and Navy will otherwise cooperate with and assist Red Lion as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section 2.7.

(c) For a period of 45 days after delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement, Red Lion will make available to Navy all books, records, work papers, personnel (including their accountants and employees) and other materials and sources used by Red Lion to prepare the Closing Adjustment Statement and not already in the possession or under the control of Navy. The Closing Adjustment Statement will be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, Navy unless Navy has notified Red Lion in writing within 45 days after delivery of the Closing Adjustment Statement of any good faith objection thereto (the “Navy Objection”). Any

- 18 -

Navy Objection will set forth a description of the basis of the Navy Objection and the adjustments to the line items reflected on the Closing Adjustment Statement which Navy believes should be made. Any items not disputed during the foregoing 45-day period will be deemed to have been accepted by Navy.

(d) If Navy and Red Lion are unable to resolve any of their disputes with respect to the Closing Adjustment Statement within 30 days following Red Lion’s receipt of the Navy Objection to such Closing Adjustment Statement pursuant to Section 2.7(c), they will refer their remaining differences to a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants as to which Navy and Red Lion mutually agree (the “Accounting Firm”) for a decision, which decision will be final and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Firm will act as an expert and not an arbitrator and will address only those items in dispute, in accordance with any provisions or policies set forth herein and in the Accounting Exhibit, and for each item may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party. Any expenses relating to the engagement of the Accounting Firm will be shared equally by Navy, on one hand, and Red Lion, on the other hand.

(e) The Closing Adjustment Statement will become final and binding on the Parties upon the earliest of (i) if no Navy Objection has been given, the expiration of the period within which Navy must make its objection pursuant to Section 2.7(e), (ii) agreement in writing by Navy and Red Lion that the Closing Adjustment Statement, together with any modifications thereto agreed by Navy and Red Lion, will be final and binding, and (iii) the date on which the Accounting Firm issues its written determination with respect to any dispute relating to such Closing Adjustment Statement. The Closing Adjustment Statement, as submitted by Red Lion if no timely Navy Objection has been given, as adjusted pursuant to any agreement between the Parties or as determined pursuant to the decision of the Accounting Firm, when final and binding on all Parties and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, is herein referred to as the “Final Closing Adjustment Statement.”

(f) Within five Business Days following issuance of the Final Closing Adjustment Statement, the adjustment payment payable pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) (the “Adjustment Payment”) will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by Navy or Red Lion, as the case may be. The “Final Adjustment Payment” will be equal to the Adjustment Amount as reflected on the Final Adjustment Statement. The Adjustment Payment will be equal to the Final Adjustment Payment minus the Estimated Adjustment Payment. The Adjustment Payment, if any, will be payable by Red Lion to Navy, if positive, and if the Adjustment Payment is negative, an amount equal to the absolute value of such Adjustment Payment will be payable by Navy to Red Lion. The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 2.7 are intended to implement the agreement of the Parties that cash generated by the Red Lion Group through the Separation Time is for the benefit of Navy and its shareholders. The Parties further acknowledge that prior to the Separation Time they may cause cash of the Red Lion Group to be transferred to Navy.

Without limiting or otherwise affecting the indemnity provisions of the Ancillary Agreements or the Merger Agreement, from and after the Separation Time, Navy, and each member of the Navy Group, will, on a joint and several basis, indemnify, defend (or, where applicable, pay the defense costs for) and hold harmless the Red Lion Indemnitees from and against, and will reimburse such Red Lion Indemnitee with respect to, any and all Losses that result from, relate to or arise, whether prior to or following the Separation Time, out of any of the following items (without duplication):

(a) the Excluded Liabilities and the Liabilities of the Navy Group, including the failure of Navy or any other member of the Navy Group or any other Person to pay, perform, fulfill, discharge and, to the extent applicable, comply with, in due course and in full such Liabilities;

(b) any guarantee, indemnification obligation, surety bond or other credit support agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding for the benefit of any member of the Navy Group by Red Lion or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any member of the Navy Group) that survives following the Separation Time;

(c) any breach by Navy or any other member of the Navy Group of any obligations to be performed by such Persons pursuant to this Agreement or the Employee Benefits Agreement subsequent to the Separation Time;

(d) the enforcement by the Red Lion Indemnitees of their rights to be indemnified, defended and held harmless under this Section 3.3; and

(e) the termination of, or failure to meet requirements under, the agreements set forth in Schedule 3.3(e).

Section 3.4 Payments; Reductions for Insurance Proceeds and Other Recoveries.

(a) Payments. Indemnification payments in respect of any Liabilities for which an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article III will be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee as such Liabilities are incurred upon demand by the Indemnitee, including reasonably satisfactory documentation setting forth the basis for the amount of such indemnification payment, including documentation with respect to calculations made and consideration of any Insurance Proceeds that actually reduce the amount of such Liabilities. The indemnity agreements contained in this Article III will remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee, (ii) the knowledge by the Indemnitee of Liabilities for which it might be entitled to indemnification hereunder and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.

- 22 -

(b) Insurance Proceeds. The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to provide indemnification to or on behalf of any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, as applicable, will be reduced (retroactively or prospectively) by any Insurance Proceeds or other amounts actually recovered from third parties (including any captive insurance companies of the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliates) by or on behalf of such Indemnitee in respect of the related Loss (net of increased insurance premiums and charges related directly and solely to the related indemnifiable Losses and costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with seeking to collect and collecting such amounts). The existence of a claim by an Indemnitee for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any indemnifiable Loss will not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. Rather, the Indemnifying Party will make payment in full of the amount determined to be due and owing by it against an assignment by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party of the entire claim of the Indemnitee for Insurance Proceeds or against such third party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that no insurer or any other third party will be (i) entitled to a “windfall” or other benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions or otherwise have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

(c) Tax Treatment of Payments. In the absence of a Final Determination to the contrary, any amount payable by Red Lion to Navy under this Agreement will be treated as occurring immediately prior to the Red Lion Restructuring, as an inter-company distribution, and any amount payable by Navy to Red Lion under this Agreement will be treated as occurring immediately prior to the Red Lion Restructuring, as a contribution to capital.

Section 3.5 Procedures for Defense, Settlement and Indemnification of Third-Party Claims.

(a) Direct Claims. Any claim on account of indemnifiable Losses that does not involve a Third-Party Claim will be asserted by reasonably prompt written notice given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party from whom such indemnification is sought. The failure by any Indemnitee so to give notice as provided in this Section 3.5(a) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article III, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

(b) Third-Party Claims.

(i) Notice Of Claims. If an Indemnitee receives notice or otherwise learns of the assertion by a Person (including any Governmental Authority) who is not a member of the Navy Group or Red Lion Group or any of their respective Affiliates of any claim or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification (collectively, a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnitee will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (a “Claims Notice”) thereof but in any event within 15 calendar days after becoming aware of such Third-Party Claim. Any such notice will describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail and include copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnitee

- 23 -

relating to the Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the delay or failure of any Indemnitee or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 3.5(b)(i) will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article III, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such delay or failure to give notice.

(ii) Opportunity to Defend. The Indemnifying Party has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Indemnitee within 30 days after receipt of a Claims Notice from the Indemnitee of the commencement or assertion of any Third-Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Article III, to assume and conduct the defense of such Third-Party Claim in accordance with the limits set forth in this Agreement with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee; provided, however, that the (A) defense of such Third-Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party will not, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnitee, (1) if Navy is the Indemnifying Party, affect Xxxxx or any of its Controlled Affiliates (including after the Merger, any member of the Red Lion Group) in an adverse manner and (2) if Red Lion is the Indemnifying Party, affect Navy or any of its Controlled Affiliates in an adverse manner; and (B) the Third-Party Claim solely seeks (and continues to seek) monetary damages (the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (B) are, collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 3.5(b), the Indemnitee may continue to defend the Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third-Party Claim as provided in this Section 3.5(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be liable for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that if (x) either of the Litigation Conditions ceases to be met or (y) the Indemnifying Party fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee may assume its own defense, and the Indemnifying Party will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnitee, as the case may be, has the right to participate in (but, subject to the prior sentence, not control), at its own expense, the defense of any Third-Party Claim that the other is defending as provided in this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party, if it has assumed the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided in this Agreement, may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third-Party Claim that (I) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnitee of a complete release from all liability in respect of such Third-Party Claim, (II) provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, or (III) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, would otherwise adversely affect the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates. The Indemnitee may settle any Third-Party Claim, the defense of which has not been assumed by the Indemnifying Party, only with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, not to be unreasonably withheld.

Section 3.6 Additional Matters.

(a) Cooperation in Defense and Settlement. With respect to any Third-Party Claim for which Red Lion, on the one hand, and Navy, on the other hand, may have Liability under this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve the attorney-client privilege, joint defense or other privilege with respect thereto) so as to minimize such Liabilities and defense costs associated

- 24 -

therewith. The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of such Third-Party Claims will, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may retain counsel to monitor or assist in the defense of such claims at its own cost.

(b) Certain Actions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 3.5, Navy may elect to have exclusive authority and control over the investigation, prosecution, defense and appeal of all Actions pending at the Separation Time which relate to or arise out of the Red Lion Business, the Red Lion Assets or the Red Lion Liabilities if such Action also relates to the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities and a member of the Navy Group is also named as a target or defendant thereunder (but excluding any such Actions which solely relate to or solely arise in connection with the Red Lion Business, the Red Lion Assets or the Red Lion Liabilities); provided that (i) Navy will consult with Red Lion on a regular basis with respect to strategy and developments with respect to any such Action, (ii) if Navy fails to take reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently such Action, Red Lion may assume such defense, and Navy will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred in connection with such defense, (iii) Red Lion has the right to participate in (but, subject to clause (ii) above, not control) the defense of such Action, and (iv) Navy must obtain the written consent of Red Lion, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to such Action if such settlement, consent or judgment would (A) provide for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting Red Lion or any of its Affiliates, or (B) in the reasonable opinion of Red Lion, would otherwise adversely affect Red Lion or any of its Affiliates. After any such compromise, settlement, consent to entry of judgment or entry of judgment, Navy and Red Lion will agree upon a reasonable allocation to Red Lion and Red Lion will be responsible for or receive, as the case may be, Red Lion’s proportionate share of any such compromise, settlement, consent or judgment attributable to the Red Lion Business, the Red Lion Assets or the Red Lion Liabilities, including its proportionate share of the reasonable costs and expenses associated with defending same.

(c) Substitution. In the event of an Action that involves solely matters that are indemnifiable and in which the Indemnifying Party is not a named defendant, if either the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party so requests, the Parties will endeavor to substitute the Indemnifying Party for the named defendant. If such substitution or addition cannot be achieved for any reason or is not requested, the rights and obligations of the Parties regarding indemnification and the management of the defense of claims as set forth in this Article III will not be affected.

(d) Subrogation. In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to or on behalf of any Indemnitee in connection with any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to and will stand in the place of such Indemnitee, in whole or in part based upon whether the Indemnifying Party has paid all or only part of the Indemnitee’s Liability, as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnitee may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third-Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third-Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnitee will cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.

- 25 -

(e) Not Applicable to Taxes. Except for Section 3.4(c) and as otherwise specifically provided herein, this Agreement will not apply to Taxes (which are covered by the Tax Matters Agreement). In the case of any conflict between this Agreement and the Tax Matters Agreement in relation to any matters addressed by the Tax Matters Agreement, the Tax Matters Agreement will prevail.

(f) Environmental Claims. In the event of any claim pursuant to Section 3.3 with respect to the presence or release of any Hazardous Materials on any real property owned or operated by Xxxxx, Red Lion or any Affiliate thereof, (i) Navy has the right, exercisable by written notice to the Red Lion Indemnitee, to assume control of and conduct any investigation or remedial action with respect thereto, (ii) Xxxxx shall xxxxx Navy reasonable access to such real property to perform any such investigation or remedial action, (iii) such investigation or remedial action shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the use of such real property, and (iv) if Navy determines that remedial action is required pursuant to Environmental Law, Xxxxx hereby consents to the use of any engineered barriers or institutional controls that would not unreasonably interfere with Penny’s future use of such real property; provided that (A) Navy will consult with the Red Lion Indemnitee on a regular basis with respect to any material developments in such investigation or remedial action, (B) in the event that Navy receives a written notice of violation from the applicable Governmental Authority alleging a material failure by Navy to perform any such investigation or remedial action and Navy fails to cure such alleged violation within a reasonable period of time (which in no event shall be less than 120 days after the receipt of such written notice), Red Lion has the right, exercisable by reasonable written notice from the Red Lion Indemnitee to Navy, to assume control of such investigation or remedial action to the extent related to such notice of violation, and Navy will be liable for all reasonable costs or expenses paid or incurred by Red Lion in connection with such investigation or remedial, (C) Red Lion has the right to participate in (but, subject to clauses (i) through (iv) above, not control) any such investigation or remedial action at its cost and (D) Navy must obtain the written consent of Red Lion, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, with respect to the use of any engineered barriers or institutional controls in any such investigation or remedial action.

Section 3.7 Exclusive Remedy. Each of Red Lion and Navy intends and hereby agrees that this Article III sets forth the exclusive remedy of the Parties following the Separation Time for any Losses arising out of any breach of the covenants or agreements of the Parties contained in this Agreement, except that nothing contained in this Section 3.7 will impair any right of any Person (a) to exercise all of their rights and seek all damages available to them under Law in the event of claims or causes of action arising from fraud; (b) to specific performance under this Agreement; and (c) to equitable relief as provided in Section 5.15 or in any Ancillary Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the other Party in connection herewith, arising under or based upon any Law other than the right to seek indemnity pursuant to this Article III and the right to seek the relief described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the preceding sentence.

Section 3.8 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of Navy and Red Lion and their respective Indemnitees under this Article III will survive the sale or other transfer by any Party of any Assets or businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 4.1 Further Assurances. Subject to the limitations of Section 1.7:

(a) In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, each of the Parties hereto will cooperate with each other and use (and will cause their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts, prior to, at and after the Separation Time, to take, or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law or Contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly as reasonably practicable.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1(a), where the cooperation of third parties such as insurers or trustees would be necessary in order for a Party to completely fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, such Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such third parties to provide such cooperation. If any Affiliate of Navy or Red Lion is not a party to this Agreement or, as applicable, any Ancillary Agreement, and it becomes necessary or desirable for such Affiliate to be a party hereto or thereto to carry out the purpose hereof or thereof, then Navy or Red Lion, as applicable, will cause such Affiliate to become a party hereto or thereto or cause such Affiliate to undertake such actions as if such Affiliate were such a party.

(c) Prior to the Separation Time, in the event that the Parties identify any tangible Asset (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Assets that constitute Intellectual Property) that (i) is owned by a member of the Navy Group, (ii) is not included in the Red Lion Assets or will otherwise be made available to the Red Lion Business pursuant to the Red Lion TSA or any of the other Ancillary Agreements, (iii) is not used primarily in, or held primarily for the benefit of, the Red Lion Business and (iv) is necessary to manufacture products of the Red Lion Business in a manner consistent with the manner in which they have manufactured as of the date hereof, the Parties will reasonably cooperate and negotiate in good faith to identify a mutually acceptable, commercially reasonable arrangement pursuant to which such Asset will be made available to the Red Lion Business subsequent to the Separation Time for a reasonable period of time.

As part of such efforts, to the extent reasonably necessary for the preparation of financial statements or completing an audit or review of financial statements or an audit of internal control over financial reporting, (i) Red Lion will authorize and direct its auditors to make available to Navy’s auditors, within a reasonable time prior to the date of Navy’s auditors’ opinion or review report, both (x) the personnel who performed or will perform the annual audits and quarterly reviews of Red Lion and (y) work papers related to such annual audits and quarterly reviews, to enable Navy’s auditors to perform any procedures they consider reasonably necessary to take responsibility for the work of Red Lion’s auditors as it relates to Navy’s auditors’ opinion or report and (ii) until all governmental audits are complete, Red Lion will provide reasonable access during normal business hours for Navy’s internal auditors, counsel and other designated representatives to (x) the premises of Red Lion and its Subsidiaries and all Information (and duplicating rights) within the knowledge, possession or control of Red Lion and its Subsidiaries and (y) the officers and employees of Red Lion and its Subsidiaries, so that Navy may conduct reasonable audits relating to the financial statements provided by Red Lion and its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that such access will not be unreasonably disruptive to the business and affairs of the Red Lion Group.

(c) Financial Information for Red Lion. Without limitation to Section 4.2(a), until the end of the second full fiscal year occurring after the Closing Date (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards or as required by Law), Navy will use its reasonable best efforts to enable Red Lion to meet its timetable for dissemination of its financial statements and to enable Red Lion’s auditors to timely complete their annual audit and quarterly reviews of financial statements.

Such certifications will be provided in substantially the same form and manner as such Red Lion officers provided prior to the Closing (reflecting any changes in certifications necessitated by the Red Lion Restructuring or the Recapitalization or and any other transactions related thereto) or as otherwise agreed upon between Navy and Red Lion.

(e) Limitations of Liability. Neither Party will have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement that is an estimate or forecast, or that is based on an estimate or forecast, is found to be inaccurate in the absence of willful misconduct by the providing Person.

(f) Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by a Party that is provided to the other Party pursuant to this Section 4.2 remains the property of the Party that owned and provided such Information. Each Party will, and will cause members of their respective Groups to, remove and destroy any hard drives or other electronic data storage devices from any computer or server that is reasonably likely to contain Information that is protected by this Section 4.2 and that is transferred or sold to a third-party or otherwise disposed of in accordance with Section 4.2(g), unless required by Law to retain such materials.

No Party will destroy, or permit any of its Subsidiaries to destroy, any Information which the other Party may have the right to obtain pursuant to this Agreement prior to the end of the retention period set forth in Navy’s retention policies without first using its commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other Party of the proposed destruction and giving the other Party the opportunity to take possession or make copies of such Information prior to such destruction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 7.02 of the Tax Matters Agreement will govern the retention of Tax Returns, schedules and work papers and all material records or other documents relating thereto.

(i) Costs of Providing Information. Each Party will be responsible for paying the fees and expenses incurred by it in connection with complying with the provisions of this Section 4.2.

(j) Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

(i) After the Separation Time, except in the case of any Action by one Party or its Affiliates against another Party or its Affiliates, each Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, incurred in connection therewith.

(ii) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim, the other Party will make available to such Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, or the prosecution, evaluation or pursuit thereof, as the case may be, and will otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise, or such prosecution, evaluation or pursuit, as the case may be.

(iii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties will cooperate and consult to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to Third-Party Claims.

(iv) Without limiting any provision of this Section 4.2(j), each of the Parties will cooperate, and will cause each member of its respective Group to cooperate, with each other in the defense of any claim that the Red Lion Business infringes Intellectual Property of any third Person or that challenges the validity of any Intellectual Property licensed to any Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, and no Party will claim to acknowledge, or permit any member of its respective Group to claim to acknowledge, the validity or infringing use of any Intellectual Property of a third Person in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement, validity or similar claim or challenge except as required by Law.

- 30 -

(v) The obligation of the Parties to provide witnesses pursuant to this Section 4.2(j) is intended to be interpreted in a manner so as to facilitate cooperation and will include the obligation to provide as witnesses inventors and other officers without regard to whether the witness or the employer of the witness could assert a possible business conflict.

(vi) In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 4.2(j), the Parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of any Group.

(k) Restrictions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, no Party or member of such Party’s Group hereunder grants or confers rights of license in any Information owned by any member of such Party’s Group to any member of the other Party’s Group hereunder.

Section 4.3 Privileged Matters.

(a) The respective rights and obligations of the Parties to maintain, preserve, assert or waive any or all privileges belonging to either Party or its Subsidiaries with respect to the Red Lion Business or the Non-Red Lion Business, including the attorney-client and work product privileges (collectively, “Privileges”), will be governed by the provisions of this Section 4.3. With respect to Privileged Information of Navy, Navy will have sole authority in perpetuity to determine whether to assert or waive any or all Privileges, and Red Lion will not take any action (or permit any member of its Group to take action) without the prior written consent of Navy that could result in any waiver of any Privilege that could be asserted by Navy or any member of its Group under applicable Law and this Agreement. With respect to Privileged Information of Red Lion arising after the Separation Time, Red Lion will have sole authority in perpetuity to determine whether to assert or waive any or all Privileges, and Navy will take no action (nor permit any member of its Group to take action) without the prior written consent of Red Lion that could result in any waiver of any Privilege that could be asserted by Red Lion or any member of its Group under applicable Law and this Agreement. The rights and obligations created by this Section 4.3 will apply to all Information as to which a Party or its respective Groups would be entitled to assert or have asserted a Privilege without regard to the effect, if any, of the Red Lion Restructuring or the Recapitalization (“Privileged Information”).

(b) Privileged Information of Navy and its Group includes (i) any and all Information regarding the Non-Red Lion Business and the Navy Group (other than Information relating to the Red Lion Business (“Red Lion Information”)), whether or not such Information (other than Red Lion Information) is in the possession of Red Lion or any Affiliate thereof, (ii) all communications subject to a Privilege between counsel for Navy (other than counsel for the Red Lion Business) (including any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of Navy or its Group in the capacity of in-house counsel, regardless of whether such employee is or becomes an employee of Xxxxx, Red Lion or any Affiliate thereof) and any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of Navy, regardless of whether such employee is

- 31 -

or becomes an employee of Red Lion or any Affiliate thereof, and (iii) all Information generated, received or arising after the Separation Time that refers or relates to and discloses Privileged Information of Navy or its Group generated, received or arising prior to the Separation Time.

(c) Privileged Information of Red Lion and its Group includes (i) any and all Red Lion Information, whether or not it is in the possession of Navy or any member of its Group, (ii) all communications subject to a Privilege between counsel for the Red Lion Business (including any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of Navy or its Group in the capacity of in-house counsel, regardless of whether such employee is or remains an employee of Navy or any Affiliate thereof) and any person who, at the time of the communication, was an employee of Navy, Red Lion or any member of either Group or the Red Lion Business regardless of whether such employee was, is or becomes an employee of Navy or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) all Information generated, received or arising after the Separation Time that refers or relates to and discloses Privileged Information of Red Lion or its Group generated, received or arising after the Separation Time.
