Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to this Section 2.2 and Sections 3.1(a), 3.2(d)(ii) and 3.2(e), Purchaser further agrees that, so long as Seller has complied with its obligations under Sections 6.3 and 7.6, no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition of Purchaser shall be deemed not to be satisfied, as a result, directly or indirectly, of the failure to obtain any Consent related to the Non-Assignable Assets.

f. Removal of Excluded Assets. All items located at the Property that constitute Excluded Assets may be removed on or prior to the Closing Date and within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date by Seller, its Affiliates, the owners of the Excluded Assets or their respective Representatives, but without any obligation on the part of Seller, its Affiliates or any removing party to replace any item so removed.

Section 2.6 Estimated Purchase Price; Statement of Closing Net Working Capital and Review Procedures.

a. Calculation of Estimated Purchase Price.

At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser the Estimated Closing NWC Statement. The Estimated Closing NWC Statement shall be prepared in the same manner and on a consistent basis (including the basis of calculation of individual line items (which items shall not include any items included in the Estimated Operations Statement to avoid duplication) and the methodologies and judgments applied for determination of allowances and reserves) with the accounting procedures used in preparing the sample statement of Net Working Capital (the “Seller Accounting Procedures”).

ii.

The Estimated Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i) shall be calculated by adjusting the Purchase Price as follows: if the Estimated Net Working Capital is (A) greater than the Assumed Net Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount, if any, of the excess of the Estimated Net Working Capital over the Assumed Net Working Capital, or (B) less than the Assumed Net Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount of the excess of the Assumed Net Working Capital over the Estimated Net Working Capital (and for the avoidance of doubt, negative $1.00 is greater than negative $2.00).

b. Preparation of Statement of Closing Net Working Capital. As soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver, or cause to be prepared and delivered, to Seller a written statement calculating the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Closing NWC Statement”). The Closing NWC Statement shall be prepared in the same manner and on a consistent basis (including the basis of calculation of individual line items (which items shall not include any items included in the Final Operations Statement to avoid duplication) and the methodologies and judgments applied for determination of allowances and reserves) with the Seller Accounting Procedures.

c. Examination by Seller and its Representatives. Upon receipt of the Closing NWC Statement, Seller shall have thirty (30) days (the “Review Period”) to review such Closing NWC Statement and related computation of Closing Net Working Capital. During the Review Period, Purchaser shall give Seller and its Representatives full access at all reasonable times to the books, records and other materials of the Business and the personnel of, and work papers prepared by or for, the Business or its accountants or in the possession of any thereof to the extent that they relate to the information necessary to prepare the Closing NWC Statement, including such historical financial information relating to the Business as Seller or its Representatives shall reasonably request in order to permit the timely review of the Closing NWC Statement (and related computation of Closing Net Working Capital), and to prepare any Statement of Objections.

d. Objection by Seller. On or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Seller may object to the Closing NWC Statement or the related computation of Closing Net Working Capital by delivering to Purchaser a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail Seller’s objections thereto (the “Statement of Objections”); provided that the only valid bases for the Statement of Objections shall be limited to (i) whether the amounts set forth on the Closing NWC Statement were obtained from and in accordance with the books and records of the Business and prepared in a manner consistent (including the basis of calculation of individual line items and the determination of allowances and reserves) with the Seller Accounting Procedures or (ii) whether there were errors of fact or mathematical errors in the Closing NWC Statement or in calculating Closing Net Working Capital. If Seller fails to deliver a Statement of Objections in accordance with this Section 2.6(d) within the Review Period, (A) the Closing NWC Statement (and related computation of Closing Net Working Capital) shall be deemed to have been accepted by Seller and shall be final and binding on the Parties, and (B) such computation of Closing Net Working Capital shall be used in computing the Adjustment Amount. If Seller delivers the Statement of Objections to Purchaser within the Review Period, Purchaser and Seller shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such objections, and any objections that are resolved by a written agreement between Purchaser and Seller shall be final and binding on the Parties.

e. Resolution of Disputes. If Seller and Purchaser fail to reach an agreement with respect to all of the matters set forth in the Statement of Objections, then the matters still in dispute shall, not later than thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Statement of Objections (or, if earlier, the date on which either Seller or Purchaser affirmatively terminates discussions in writing with respect to the Statement of Objections), be submitted for resolution to the Independent Accountant who, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator as described in Section 2.6(f), shall resolve the matters still in dispute and, if appropriate, adjust the Closing NWC Statement and Closing Net Working Capital to reflect such resolution. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination in writing as soon as practicable and in any event within thirty (30) days (or such other time as Purchaser and Seller shall agree in writing) after its engagement.

f. Scope and Process of Review. The scope of any dispute to be resolved by the Independent Accountant shall be limited to (i) whether the amounts set forth on the Closing NWC Statement were obtained from and in accordance with the books and records of the Business and prepared in a manner consistent (including the basis of calculation of individual line items and the determination of allowances and reserves) with the Seller Accounting Procedures and (ii) whether there were errors of fact or mathematical errors in the Closing NWC Statement or in calculating Closing Net Working Capital. In resolving a disputed item, the Independent Accountant may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party, in each case as presented to the Independent Accountant. Within fifteen (15) days after the engagement of the Independent Accountant, Purchaser and Seller shall present their respective positions with respect to the items set forth in the Statement of Objections in the form of a written binder of supporting materials (the “Supporting Binder”) to the Independent Accountant and the other Party 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 Independent Accountant’s request, or as mutually agreed by Purchaser and Seller, Purchaser and Seller may meet with the Independent Accountant so long as Representatives of both Purchaser and Seller are present. The Supporting Binders shall set forth the arguments supporting a Party’s position, along with such supporting materials and other information (including facts and figures) as such Party shall desire. The Independent Accountant’s decision with respect to the matters in dispute shall be final and binding on the Parties, and either Party may seek to enforce such decision in a court of competent jurisdiction.

g. Fees and Expenses of the Independent Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller.

h. Access to Supporting Documentation. Purchaser and Seller shall each make readily available to the Independent Accountant all relevant work papers and books and records relating to the Business, the Closing NWC Statement and the computation of Closing Net Working Capital as are requested by the Independent Accountant and shall (subject to the proviso in Section 2.6(f)) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Independent Accountant in resolving any disputed matters.

i. Books and Records. Purchaser agrees that following the Closing it shall not take any actions with respect to the accounting books and records of the Business on which the Closing NWC Statement is to be based that are not consistent with the Seller Accounting Procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no changes shall be made in any reserve or other account existing as of the date of the Latest Balance Sheet except as a result of events occurring after the date of the Latest Balance Sheet and, in such event, only in a manner consistent with the Seller Accounting Procedures.

Section 2.7 Adjustment Amount; Calculation of Final Purchase Price.

a. The Adjustment Amount shall be calculated based upon the final calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital as determined in Section 2.6 and shall be calculated at the time the Closing NWC Statement (and the Closing Net Working Capital reflected thereon or calculated therefrom) becomes final and binding on the Parties pursuant to Section 2.6.

b. If the Closing Net Working Capital (i) is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount by which the Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, or (ii) is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Closing Net Working Capital (the amount of either such excess, the “Adjustment Amount”) (and for the avoidance of doubt, negative $1.00 is greater than negative $2.00). Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing NWC Statement (and the related computation of Closing Net Working Capital) becomes final and binding on the Parties pursuant to Section 2.6, Purchaser shall pay to Seller (if the Adjustment Amount is determined by reference to clause (i) above) or Seller shall pay to Purchaser (if the Adjustment Amount is determined by reference to clause (ii) above), as the case may be, the Adjustment Amount, together with an amount equal to the equivalent of interest thereon, at a variable rate per annum equal to the “Prime Rate” as reported from time to time in The Wall Street Journal, during the period from the Closing Date to the date of the payment required by this Section 2.7(b) calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account as shall be designated in writing by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the payment date.

c. No matter that gives rise to an adjustment or payment under this Section 2.7 shall be the subject of or eligible for a claim by Purchaser for indemnification under Article X.

Section 2.8 Operations Settlement.

At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an estimated accounting for the Property, as of the Transfer Time, of each of the items listed in subclauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.8(a) (the “Estimated Operations Statement”), which shall be estimated in good faith by Seller based on its books and records. The Estimated Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i) shall be increased by the net value of the items set forth in the Estimated Operations Statement (the “Estimated Operations Payment”). The items listed in subclauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.8(a) shall be considered part of the Estimated Operations Statement; provided that any items included in the Estimated Operations Statement shall not be included in the sample statement of Net Working Capital to avoid duplication.

Guest & City Ledger. Purchaser shall purchase the Guest & City Ledger for the Property from Seller as set forth in the Estimated Operations Statement.

ii.

House Funds. Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree upon a procedure for counting and determining all House Funds as of the Transfer Time and Purchaser shall pay to Seller as part of the Estimated Operations Statement the amount of House Funds so determined.

iii.

Adjustment for Progressive Liabilities. Purchaser shall offset the amounts payable to Seller pursuant to subclauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.8(a) by the amount of progressive liabilities (the “Progressive Liabilities”) equal to the sum of the face amounts shown on:

(A)

the meters for Seller’s slot machines with an in-house progressive jackpot feature as of the Transfer Time (if such slot machines are not removed by the vendor at or before the Transfer Time); and

(B)

the meters for Seller’s table games with an in-house progressive jackpot feature as of the Transfer Time.

b. No later than twelve o’clock noon (Central Standard Time) on the third (3^rd) Business Day immediately following the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall prepare the final accounting for the Property, as of the Transfer Time, of each of the items listed in subclauses (i) through (iii) of Section 2.8(a) (the “Final Operations Statement”). The amount by which the net value of the items set forth in the Final Operations Statement exceeds the Estimated Operations Payment, if any, shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account designated by Seller pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i) above, no later than twelve o’clock noon (Central Standard Time) on the fourth (4^th) Business Day immediately following the Closing Date (such time the “Operations Settlement Payment Deadline”). The amount by which the net value of the items set forth in the Final Operations Statement is less than the Estimated Operations Payment, if any, shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Purchaser, no later than the Operations Settlement Payment Deadline.

c. No matter that gives rise to a payment, offset or an adjustment under this Section 2.8 shall be the subject of or eligible for a claim by Purchaser for indemnification under Article X.

Section 2.9 Closing Statement. The items listed in subclauses (a) and (c) of this Section 2.9 shall be prorated, allocated or adjusted between Purchaser and Seller pursuant to a written closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) to be prepared by Purchaser and Seller and executed by Purchaser and Seller at the Closing. Any additional amounts owed by Purchaser or credits due to Purchaser shall be reflected in such Closing Statement and the Estimated Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i) shall be adjusted accordingly; provided that any items included in such Closing Statement shall not be included in the sample statement of Net Working Capital to avoid duplication.

Property Taxes. All real and personal property, ad valorem or similar Taxes of Seller (collectively, “Property Taxes”) assessed for calendar years prior to the calendar year that includes the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller. All Property Taxes assessed for the calendar year that includes the Closing Date shall be prorated on a per diem basis as of the day immediately prior to the Closing Date using the latest available rates and assessments, and Seller’s proportionate share of Property Taxes (which shall be determined on a per diem basis from the beginning of the relevant Tax Period through the day immediately prior to the Closing) shall be credited to Purchaser in the Closing Statement. This proration of Property Taxes shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing Date when the final tax xxxx for the year of the Closing becomes available. Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall pay promptly to the other Party any amounts due as a result of such adjustments. Any Property Tax refunds or rebates relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be the property of Seller, and Purchaser shall pay promptly to Seller any such amounts (or portions thereof) that it receives. Any Property Tax refunds or rebates relating to any Post-Closing Tax Period shall be the property of Purchaser, and Seller shall pay promptly to Purchaser any such amounts (or portions thereof) that it receives.

Seller shall have the exclusive right, at its own

expense, to control any Property Tax Proceeding relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and may make all decisions taken in connection with such proceedings, including all decisions to grant or deny any waiver or extension of the applicable statute of limitations. Purchaser shall have the exclusive right, at its own expense, to control any Property Tax Proceeding relating to a Post-Closing Tax Period and may make all decisions taken in connection with such proceedings, including all decisions to grant or deny any waiver or extension of the applicable statute of limitations. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly control all Property Tax Proceedings with respect to any Straddle Period.

Cooperation. In the event Seller and Purchaser agree that additional items should be prorated, allocated or adjusted between Purchaser and Seller, any such items shall be prorated, allocated or adjusted consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.9.

No matter that gives rise to a payment or an adjustment under this Section 2.9 shall be the subject of or eligible for a claim by Purchaser for indemnification under Article X.

Section 2.10 Allocation of Purchase Price. The purchase price (as determined for federal income tax purposes, including any Assumed Liabilities that are required to be treated as part of the purchase price for federal income tax purposes) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets (and any other assets that are considered to be acquired for federal income tax purposes) in accordance with the value ranges set forth in Exhibit C. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate and mutually agree on the determination of such purchase price allocation (the “Purchase Price Allocation”) within sixty (60) days after the Closing NWC Statement (and the related computation of Closing Net Working Capital) becomes final and binding on the Parties pursuant to Section 2.6. Purchaser and Seller agree to (a) be bound by the Purchase Price Allocation, (b) act in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation in the filing of all Tax Returns (including filing IRS Form 8594 (and any supplemental or amended Form 8594)) and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or Tax litigation relating thereto, and (c) take no position and cause their Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation for Tax purposes nor to agree to any proposed adjustment to the Purchase Price Allocation by any Taxing authority without first giving the other party prior written notice; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Purchaser or Seller from settling any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing authority based upon or arising out of the Purchase Price Allocation, and neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required to litigate before any court any proposed deficiency or adjustment by any Taxing authority challenging such Purchase Price Allocation.

Prior to entering the Property to perform any tests and assessments or for any other reason permitted hereunder and, thereafter, Purchaser shall maintain a policy of comprehensive public liability insurance in an amount not less than $1.0 million naming Seller as an additional primary insured, insuring against any and all Liabilities for damages to property or injury or death to persons arising out of the entry onto the Property of all persons and property on Purchaser’s behalf. Such insurance policy shall be with a nationally recognized insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller and shall provide that it may not be terminated without providing Seller at least thirty (30) days written notice. Prior to Purchaser’s entry onto the Property, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance evidencing the insurance policy required by this Section 6.4. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser and Seller agree that in the event any proprietary information or knowledge relating to an Excluded Asset is obtained, revealed or otherwise made known to Purchaser, Purchaser shall not reveal, disclose, employ or otherwise use any such proprietary information and will hold such information in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement. No information or knowledge obtained in any investigation pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall affect or be deemed to modify the obligations of the Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

Section 6.5 Intercompany Accounts, Affiliate Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.5, Seller shall (a) cause all intercompany accounts receivable or payable (whether or not currently due or payable) between (i) Seller, on the one hand, and (ii) any of Seller’s Affiliates, on the other hand, to be settled in full at or prior to the Closing, and (b) terminate the Management Agreement at or prior to the Closing.

Section 6.6 Certain Transactions.

a. From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or by consolidating with, or by purchasing assets of or a substantial portion of equity in, or any other manner, any business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof engaged in the gaming business in the State of Indiana.

b. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall not take, or agree to commit to take, (i) any action that would or is reasonably likely to materially delay the receipt of, or materially impact the ability of a Party to obtain, any Governmental Consents necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any action that would or is reasonably likely to cause any Governmental Authority to commence or re-open a proceeding that could reasonably be expected to challenge or prevent the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or delay the Closing beyond the Scheduled Closing Date.

Section 6.7 Financing Covenants.

a. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain an executed commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) from one or more lenders or other sources (which may or may not include the Initial Debt Financing Source) to provide Purchaser with an aggregate amount of financing that, when combined with Purchaser’s available cash on hand, will provide Purchaser with sufficient funds at the Closing to enable it to fund the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to pay all fees and expenses necessary or related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (such financing, the “Financing”). Purchaser agrees to enter into any commitment letter providing Purchaser with financing on terms at least as favorable, in the aggregate, to Purchaser as the terms set forth in the Financing Reference Document. Promptly following Purchaser’s receipt of the Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall promptly provide Seller with a true, correct and complete copy of the Commitment Letter.

b. Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letter (provided that Purchaser may amend the Commitment Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities so long as such action would not reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the Closing or add conditions or otherwise materially restrict the availability of the Financing), including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letter, (ii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to funding of the Financing, (iii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto and (iv) comply with its obligations, and enforcing its rights, if any, under the Commitment Letter. In the event that Purchaser becomes aware that any portion of the Financing is unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in the Commitment Letter, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative financing for such portion from alternative sources. Purchaser shall not agree to nor permit any amendment, modification or waiver (other than a waiver of a condition to the Financing) of the Commitment Letter, any other agreement, arrangement or understanding relating to the Financing or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing that is adverse to Purchaser or Seller without Seller’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Purchaser shall provide Seller prompt written notice of any breach by any party of the Commitment Letter (or commitments for any alternative financing obtained in accordance with this Section 6.7(b)) of which Purchaser becomes aware or any termination of the Commitment Letter (or commitments for any alternative financing obtained in accordance with this Section 6.7(b)). Purchaser shall keep Seller informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or alternative financing obtained in accordance with this Section 6.7(b)) and provide to Seller copies of all material documents related to the Financing (or alternative financing obtained in accordance with this Section 6.7(b)).

ARTICLE VII — GENERAL COVENANTS

Section 7.1 Employees.

a. Purchaser shall extend offers of employment to all of the Property Employees on or prior to the Closing Date at the same salary or wage rate as applicable to the Property Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and upon substantially similar terms and conditions as provided by Seller or its Affiliates to such Property Employees. Purchaser shall take all actions necessary to cause each Property Employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment to commence employment with Purchaser effective as of the Closing Date. With respect to each Property Employee who is on leave of absence on the Closing Date, such Property Employee shall become a Transferred Employee on the date such Property Employee returns from such leave of absence. Purchaser agrees that, for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the six-month anniversary thereof, it shall maintain, or shall cause to be maintained, for the benefit of the Transferred Employees, employee benefit plans that are no less favorable, in the aggregate, than the Plans in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date.

b. With respect to any employee or employee benefit plan, program or arrangement established or maintained by Purchaser (“Purchaser’s Plans”) for all purposes of determining eligibility to participate and vesting and benefit accruals (except to the extent giving such credit would result in duplication of benefits), a Transferred Employee’s service with Seller shall be treated as service with Purchaser.

c. Purchaser shall cause the Transferred Employees to be covered by one or more medical benefit plans (“Purchaser’s Medical Plans”) which shall not contain any “pre-existing conditions” exclusions or limitations or “actively at work” requirements which would cause any of the Transferred Employees or their dependents to be excluded from Purchaser’s Medical Plans immediately after the Closing. For purposes of Purchaser’s Plans, Purchaser shall give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out of pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, the Transferred Employees and their dependents for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs under any welfare benefit plans maintained or contributed to by Seller or its Affiliates for their benefit immediately prior to the Closing Date.

d. Property Employees are eligible to participate in a plan subject to Section 125 of the Code (“Seller’s 125 Plan”) that includes flexible spending accounts for medical care reimbursements and dependent care reimbursements (“Reimbursement Accounts”). As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, cash equal to the aggregate value as of the Closing Date of the Reimbursement Accounts of the Transferred Employees shall be transferred from Seller to a plan established by Purchaser intended to qualify under Section 125 of the Code (“Purchaser’s 125 Plan”). Upon receipt of such amount, Purchaser and Purchaser’s 125 Plan shall assume all obligations with respect to the Reimbursement Accounts for the Transferred Employees as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall recognize the elections of the Transferred Employees under Seller’s 125 Plan for purposes of Purchaser’s 125 Plan for the calendar year that includes the Closing Date. Seller shall provide Purchaser with all information reasonably requested in order for Purchaser and Purchaser’s 125 Plan to satisfy the obligations set forth in this Section 7.1(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller may terminate the Reimbursement Account portion of Seller’s 125 Plan effective on or prior to December 31, 2010, and, if the Closing occurs following the effective date of such termination, neither Party shall have any obligations under this Section 7.1(d).

e. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Purchaser shall assume any accrued but unused vacation or other paid-time off (“PTO”) for each Transferred Employee. If required by Applicable Law, prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall allow each Transferred Employee to elect, in accordance with Applicable Law, to have such Transferred Employee’s accrued PTO either paid to such Transferred Employee on the Closing Date by Seller, or to have such PTO assumed by Purchaser. Seller shall be responsible for all accrued but unused PTO for each Property Employee that is not a Transferred Employee or who elects not to have his/her PTO assumed by Purchaser.

f. The provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of Purchaser and Seller only, and no Property Employee of Seller or any Person, other than the Parties, will have any rights hereunder. Nothing herein expressed or implied will be deemed an amendment of any Plan or otherwise confer upon any Property Employee of Seller, any Person, other than the Parties, or any legal representatives or beneficiaries thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period or to be covered under or by any Plan except as provided in Section 7.1(h), or will cause the employment status of any employee to be other than terminable at-will.

g. Purchaser shall have full responsibility for all obligations to the Transferred Employees under the WARN Act and any other similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any “plant closing” or “mass layoff” (as such terms are defined in the WARN Act). For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 7.1(g) include all obligations triggered under the WARN Act and such other federal, state and local statutes and regulations requiring prior notice of a plant closing or mass layoff, which are triggered, in whole or in part, by Purchaser’s actions or omissions, including the failure to employ or continue to employ some or all of the Transferred Employees from and after the Closing Date.

h. Following Closing, Seller shall cease maintaining a group health plan. Therefore, Purchaser agrees and shall be responsible for providing continuation coverage as required by Code section 4980B, ERISA sections 602-608 or similar state Applicable Law (“COBRA”), under a group health plan maintained by Purchaser, to those employees of Seller and any other qualified beneficiaries under COBRA with respect to such employees, who have a COBRA qualifying event (due to termination of employment with Seller or otherwise) prior to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any and all damages, liabilities, claims and expenses incurred by Seller as a result of the failure of Purchaser to comply with any of the requirements of COBRA, including applicable notice requirements, other than those to which Seller’s actions (or inactions) caused.

i. Seller shall cooperate and provide all information reasonably requested by Purchaser in order for Purchaser to satisfy its obligations under this Section 7.1.

Section 7.2 Notice of Certain Matters. From the date hereof through the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing, each Party, upon obtaining knowledge of such matter, shall give notice to the other Party of (a) the occurrence or failure to occur of any event which occurrence or failure would be likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in a manner reasonably likely to result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article III, and (b) any failure of the Party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement in a manner reasonably likely to result in the failure of a condition set forth in Article III. From time to time prior to the Closing, Seller shall have the right to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedules with respect to any matter arising after the delivery of the Disclosure Schedules pursuant to this Agreement. In any such event, unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII prior to the Closing, each written notice provided pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be deemed (x) to have amended the applicable Schedule, (y) to have qualified the representations and warranties contained herein and (z) to have cured any breach of representation or warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such development. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice under this Section 7.2 shall be deemed to have modified any representation or warranty or cured any breach for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III or a Party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII.

Section 7.3 Publicity. The Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, except as may be required by Applicable Law or any securities exchange on which the securities of a Party or an Affiliate are listed, neither Party shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement without the prior written approval of the other Party.

Section 7.4 Post-Closing Access; Cooperation.

a. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.9(b) and 9.1, following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall (a) allow Seller and its Affiliates, upon reasonable prior notice and during regular business hours, through their employees and Representatives, the right to examine and make copies of the books and records transferred to Purchaser at the Closing for any reasonable business purpose relating to their respective businesses, including the preparation or examination of regulatory filings and financial statements and the conduct of any litigation or the conduct of any regulatory, contract holder, participant or other dispute resolution whether pending or threatened, and (b) maintain such books and records for examination and copying by Seller and its Affiliates for a period of not less than eight (8) years following the Closing Date; provided that after such eight-year period Purchaser shall provide Seller with at least twenty (20) Business Days’ written notice prior to destroying or disposing of any such books and records at which time and at the option and expense of Seller, Purchaser shall deliver such books and records to Seller, rather than destroying the same. Access to such books and records shall be at Seller’s expense, and may not unreasonably interfere with Purchaser’s or any successor company’s business operations. Seller may retain (x) one copy of the materials included in the data room organized by Seller in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, together with a copy of all documents referred to in such materials, and (y) a copy of all financial information and all other accounting records prepared or used in connection with the preparation of the Financial Statements. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 7.4(a), neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall retain or use any copy of the Customer Database following the Closing Date. Neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall use any of Seller’s training manuals or other training materials included in the Purchased Assets other than in connection with the conduct or operation of the Business.

b. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.9(b) and 9.1, following the Closing, and for so long as Seller or its Affiliates are prosecuting, participating in, contesting or defending any claim, Proceeding or investigation, whenever filed or made, in connection with or involving in any way the conduct or operation of the Business prior to the Closing, including any such claim, Proceeding or investigation related to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities, Purchaser shall (and shall cause its Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives, to) (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller and its Affiliates and their Representatives with such prosecution, participation, contest or defense, (B) provide Seller and its Affiliates and their Representatives with reasonable access and duplicating rights to all properties, books, contracts, commitments and records (whether in paper or electronic form) related to the Property or the Business and (C) make available to Seller and its Affiliates and their Representatives its personnel (including the Transferred Employees), including for purposes of fact finding, consultation, testimony, interviews, depositions and witnesses, in each case as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the prosecution, participation, contest or defense of the applicable claim, Proceeding or investigation by Seller and its Affiliates; provided that Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with providing such cooperation.

c. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.9(b) and 9.1, following the Closing, and so long as Purchaser or its Affiliates are prosecuting, participating in, contesting or defending any claim, Proceeding or investigation, whenever filed or made, in connection with or involving in any way the conduct or operation of the Business prior to the Closing, including any such claim, Proceeding or investigation related to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, Seller shall (and shall cause its Affiliates, and its and their respective Representatives, to) (A) use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser and its Affiliates and their Representatives with such prosecution, participation, contest or defense, (B) provide Purchaser and its Affiliates and their Representatives with reasonable access and duplicating rights to all properties, books, contracts, commitments and records (whether in paper or electronic form) related to the Property in its possession, and (C) make available to Purchaser and its Affiliates and their Representatives its personnel, including for purposes of fact finding, consultation, testimony, interviews, depositions and witnesses, in each case as shall be reasonably necessary in connection with the prosecution, participation, contest or defense of the applicable claim, Proceeding or investigation by Purchaser and its Affiliates and their Representatives; provided that Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with providing such cooperation.

Section 7.5 Insurance and Casualty. If, before the Closing, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, and such damage does not result in a Material Adverse Effect, then the Closing shall proceed as scheduled and Seller shall, after the Closing Date, (a) promptly pay to Purchaser all insurance proceeds received by Seller with respect to such damage, destruction or other loss, less any proceeds applied to the physical restoration of the Property, and (b) assign to Purchaser all rights of Seller against third parties (other than against its insurance carriers) with respect to any causes of action, whether or not litigation has commenced as of the Closing Date, in connection with such damage, destruction or other loss; provided that the proceeds of such insurance shall be subject to (and recovery thereon shall be reduced by the amount of) any applicable deductibles and co-payment provisions or any payment or reimbursement and shall constitute full compensation for the damage to the Property, and Seller shall have no responsibility for restoration or repair of the Property or any resultant loss, directly, by subrogation, or otherwise.

Section 7.6 FCC Approvals.

a. Seller and Purchaser will, as applicable, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof (and, with regard to the ship radio license, not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing), execute and file filing copies of FCC applications to either (i) seek the consent of the FCC to the assignment of the FCC Licenses to Purchaser, or (ii) have the FCC Licenses reissued by the FCC in the name of Purchaser, as appropriate (collectively, the “FCC Approvals”). Seller and Purchaser agree to use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with any requests for information, filing of forms, communications with the FCC or other actions which are reasonably necessary in order to obtain the FCC Approvals.

b. If the FCC Approvals have not been obtained on or before the Closing Date and no special temporary authority has been granted by the FCC that allows Purchaser to operate under the FCC Licenses, then (i) the Closing shall nevertheless occur as scheduled, and (ii) the Parties will comply with any applicable requirements of the FCC or Applicable Law (including Seller tendering for cancellation the FCC Licenses). Purchaser agrees that it will not use or operate the equipment which is the subject of the FCC Licenses or the FCC Approvals after the Closing in violation of any requirements of the FCC or any Applicable Law.

Purchaser recognizes that such reservations may include discounts or other benefits, including benefits under frequent player or casino awards programs, group discounts, other discounts or requirements that food, beverage or other benefits be delivered by Purchaser to the guest(s) holding such reservations following the Closing; provided that such discounts or benefits have been provided by Seller to such guests in the Ordinary Course of Business.

If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason, the Deposit shall promptly be paid to Purchaser and such termination shall be without Liability to either Party or their respective Affiliates, and following such termination neither Party shall have any Liability under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that no such termination shall relieve any Party that has willfully or recklessly and materially breached any provision of this Agreement from Liability for such breach, and any such breaching Party shall remain fully liable (subject to Section 10.2(f)) for any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the other Party as a result of such breach.

c. The provisions of this Article VIII, any Sections of Article XII required to give effect to this Article VIII and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE IX — TAX MATTERS

Section 9.1 Tax Cooperation. Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets, including access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Purchaser or Seller, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Purchased Assets until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. At the end of such period, each party shall provide the other with at least twenty (20) Business Days’ written notice before transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records, during which period the party receiving such notice can elect to take possession, at its own expense, of such books and records. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate fully with each other in the conduct of any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets or the Purchase Price Allocation.

Section 9.2 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, filing, recording, registration and other similar Taxes (including any and all applicable real estate transfer Taxes) and related fees (including any penalties, interest and additions to such Tax) incurred with respect to the sale, purchase, transfer, conveyance, delivery or assignment of the Purchased Assets or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne solely by Purchaser (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). To the extent that any Transfer Taxes are required to be paid by Seller (or such Transfer Taxes are assessed against Seller), Purchaser shall promptly reimburse Seller for such Transfer Taxes. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in preparing, executing and filing all Tax Returns and other documentation in respect of Transfer Taxes.

ARTICLE X — INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants. To the extent that the representations, warranties and covenants of the Parties contained in this Agreement are to survive the Closing, they shall survive for the applicable respective periods set forth in this Section 10.1 (each a “Survival Period”), and any and all claims and causes of action for indemnification under this Article X arising out of the inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of a Party must be made prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period. The Parties intend to shorten the otherwise applicable statute of limitations and agree that all of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Parties contained in this Agreement and any and all claims and causes of action for indemnification under this Article X shall survive as follows:

a. the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1 (Authority and Binding Effect), 4.2 (Organization of Seller), 4.4 (No Violations) and 4.8(a) and (b) (Title to Purchased Assets) and Sections 5.1 (Organization of Purchaser), 5.2 (Authority and Binding Effect) and 5.3 (No Violations) and the Deed shall survive indefinitely;

b. the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.8(c) and (d) (Condition and Sufficiency of Purchased Assets) and 4.10 (Compliance with Law) shall survive for twenty-four (24) months after the Closing Date

c. the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.11 (Environmental Matters), 4.15 (Tax Matters) and 4.16 (Employee Benefit Plans) shall survive for thirty-six (36) months after the Closing Date;

d. all other representations and warranties of the Parties shall survive until twelve (12) months after the Closing Date; and

e. except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive for five (5) years after the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any obligations to indemnify, defend and hold harmless pursuant to Sections 10.2(a) and (b) shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which the Indemnified Party shall have, before the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, previously made a claim by delivering a notice of such claim (stating in reasonable detail the basis of such claim) to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 10.3, and (ii) this Section 10.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties which contemplates performance after the Closing.

Section 10.2 Obligation to Indemnify.

a. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, if the Closing occurs, Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, successors, permitted assigns, agents and Representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”) from and against all Losses resulting from: (i) any breach of any of the representations and warranties in Article IV that survive the Closing (in each case disregarding, for the sole purpose of calculating Losses, any qualifier therein with respect to materiality or Material Adverse Effect or any specified quantitative threshold; provided that any such qualifier or threshold shall not be disregarded for the purpose of determining whether or not a breach has occurred) or in the Deed; (ii) any breach of any of the covenants of Seller contained in this Agreement; (iii) the Excluded Liabilities; and (iv) the Excluded Assets.

b. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, if the Closing occurs, Purchaser agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, successors, permitted assigns, agents and Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against all Losses resulting from: (i) any breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in Article V that survive the Closing (in each case disregarding, for the sole purpose of calculating Losses, any qualifier therein with respect to materiality or any specified quantitative threshold; provided that any such qualifier or threshold shall not be disregarded for the purpose of determining whether or not a breach has occurred); (ii) any breach of any of the covenants of Purchaser contained in this Agreement; (iii) the Assumed Liabilities; (iv) the ownership, use, operation, registration, maintenance, licensing or further transfer of the Purchased Assets from and after the Closing and the conduct of the Business from and after the Closing; and (v) Purchaser’s performance, or failure to perform, and Seller’s performance on Purchaser’s behalf or as Purchaser’s agent, of obligations under the Non-Assignable Assets.

c. Seller shall not be required to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) unless and until the aggregate Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees in connection with such clause exceed Three Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) (such amount, the “Threshold Amount”), at which time the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses (subject to the Cap) incurred by the Purchaser Indemnitees in connection with such clause (including all Losses incurred prior to exceeding the Threshold Amount). The aggregate amount for which Seller shall be liable under Section 10.2(a) shall in no event exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (such amount, the “Cap”). In calculating the amount of Losses of the Purchaser Indemnitees under Section 10.2(a)(i), all Losses which individually total less than Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000) (such amount, the “Mini-Basket”) shall be excluded in their entirety (and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of calculating the Threshold Amount), and the Purchaser Indemnitees shall not have any recourse against Seller for such Losses.

d. The aggregate amount for which Purchaser shall be liable under Section 10.2(b) shall in no event exceed the Cap. Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(b)(i) unless and until the aggregate Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnitees in connection with such clause exceed the Threshold Amount, at which time the Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification for all Losses (subject to the Cap) incurred by the Seller Indemnitees in connection with such clause (including all Losses incurred prior to exceeding the Threshold Amount). In calculating the amount of Losses of the Seller Indemnitees under Section 10.2(b)(i), all Losses which individually total less than the Mini-Basket shall be excluded in their entirety (and such items shall not be aggregated for purposes of the immediately prior sentence), and the Seller Indemnitees shall not have any recourse against Purchaser for such Losses.

e. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, none of the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article X by Seller for any Losses arising from any matter of which Purchaser had Knowledge at or prior to the Closing, including the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller in this Agreement that gives rise to such Losses, but excluding the Excluded Liabilities and the Excluded Assets.

f. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Person shall, in any event, be liable under this Article X to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Person, including loss of future revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach hereof (provided that such limitation with respect to profits shall not limit Seller’s right to recover contract damages in connection with Purchaser’s failure to close in violation of this Agreement).

g. Seller shall have no liability under this Article X to the Purchaser Indemnitees in respect of any Losses to the extent that:

provision or reserve in respect of any Liability or other matter giving rise to the Loss (or any part thereof) was made in the Latest Balance Sheet;

ii.

the Loss (or any part thereof) would not have arisen but for an act, omission or transaction on the part of, or carried out by, Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser;

iii.

the Loss (or any part thereof) in question arises, or is increased, as a result of any increases in rates of taxation or any change in Applicable Law or published practice of a Tax authority made after the date of this Agreement with retrospective effect; or

iv.

the Loss (or any part thereof) in question arises, or is increased, as a result of elections made or actions taken by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser after the Transfer Time, including a change after the Closing in any accounting policy, any Tax reporting practice or the length of any accounting period for Tax purposes of the Business.

h. The amount of any Losses under this Article X sustained by a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee shall be reduced by any amount received by such Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee with respect thereto under any insurance coverage or from any other Person alleged to be responsible therefor, and by the amount of any Tax benefit realized with respect to the Loss. The Purchaser Indemnitees and the Seller Indemnitees shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any amounts available under such insurance coverage and from such other Person alleged to have responsibility and to realize any Tax benefit with respect to the Loss. If a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee realizes a Tax benefit or receives an amount under insurance coverage or from such other Person with respect to Losses sustained at any time subsequent to any indemnification payment pursuant to this Article X, then such Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee shall promptly reimburse the applicable Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification up to such amount realized or received by the Purchaser Indemnitee or the Seller Indemnitee, as applicable.

i. Each Indemnified Party shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate to the fullest extent practicable the amount of any Loss for which it is entitled to seek indemnification under this Article X, and the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any payment to an Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss to the extent such Indemnified Party has failed to comply with the foregoing obligation.

j. Upon making any indemnification payment under this Article X, the Indemnifying Party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party against any third party in respect of the Loss to which the payment relates; provided that until the Indemnified Party recovers full payment of its Loss, any and all claims of the Indemnifying Party against any such third party on account of said payment are hereby made expressly subordinated and subjected in right of payment to the Indemnified Party’s rights against such third party. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, each such Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above-described subrogation and subordination rights.

k. Neither Party shall have any right to set-off any Losses under this Article X against any payments to be made by such Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties.

Section 10.3 Claims Notice. In the event that either a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee wishes to assert a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall deliver written notice (a “Claims Notice”) to the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) no later than thirty (30) Business Days after such claim becomes known to the Indemnified Party, specifying the facts constituting the basis for, and the amount (if known) of, the claim asserted. Failure to deliver a Claims Notice with respect to a claim in a timely manner as specified in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed a waiver of the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder for Losses in connection with such claim except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure, but the amount of reimbursement to which the Indemnified Party is entitled shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which the Indemnified Party’s Losses would have been less had such Claims Notice been timely delivered.

Section 10.4 Right to Contest Claims of Third Parties.

a. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, to investigate, contest, assume the defense of or settle any claim or demand made, or any Proceeding or investigation instituted, by any Person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claimant”) that may result in a Loss with respect to which the Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article X (a “Third Party Claim”); provided that the Indemnified Party may, at its option and at its own expense, participate in the investigation, contesting, defense or settlement of any such Third Party Claim through Representatives and counsel of its own choosing, cost and expense; and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Third Party Claim unless (i) such settlement is on exclusively monetary terms or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have consented to the terms of such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim or, if appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party any counterclaim against the Third Party Claimant, or any cross complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates). The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof (other than during the period prior to the time the Indemnified Party shall have given notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or pay any Third Party Claim for which it seeks indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

b. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not to control) the defense of any Third Party Claim which it has not elected to assume the defense of with its own counsel and at its own expense.

c. Purchaser and Seller shall make mutually available to each other all relevant information in their possession relating to any Third Party Claim (except to the extent that such action would result in a loss of attorney-client privilege) and shall cooperate with each other in the defense thereof.

Section 10.5 Indemnification Payments; Release of Indemnity Escrow Amount.

a. Any payment under this Article X shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for income Tax purposes and, subject to Section 10.5(b), shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Indemnified Party shall designate to the Indemnifying Party in writing.

b. In the event that a Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification from Seller pursuant to this Article X, the amount of Losses for which such Purchaser Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall be paid from the Indemnity Escrow Amount (including any interest thereon) to the extent funds are available therefor. Purchaser and Seller shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing distribution of the amount of such Losses to Purchaser, on behalf of such Purchaser Indemnitee.

c. On the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller the remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount (including any interest thereon). Purchaser and Seller shall promptly deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent authorizing the distribution required by this Section 10.5(c).

Section 10.6 Exclusivity.

Following the Closing, the indemnities provided in this Article X shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties and their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, Representatives, successors and assigns for Losses arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims regarding matters arising under or otherwise relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the Parties shall not be entitled to rescission of this Agreement or to any further contract, tort or indemnification rights or claims of any nature whatsoever in respect thereof; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy does not (a) interfere with or impede the operation of the provisions of Section 2.6 providing for resolution of certain disputes relating to the Statement of Objections between the Parties or the Independent Accountant, or (b) preclude a Party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable relief to require the other Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser and Seller each hereby waives (and, by its acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement, each Purchaser Indemnitee and Seller Indemnitee hereby waives), from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action such Party may have against the other Party arising under or based upon this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or any other agreement, document or certificate delivered in connection herewith, and no legal action sounding in tort, statute or strict liability may be maintained by any Party (other than a legal action brought solely to enforce or pursuant to the provisions of this Article X).

SUBJECT ONLY TO SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN ARTICLE IV AND IN THE DEED AND SUBJECT TO THE CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE III, PURCHASER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES, AND REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS TO SELLER, THAT PURCHASER IS PURCHASING THE PURCHASED ASSETS WITH ALL DEFECTS IN THEIR “AS IS”, “WHERE IS” CONDITION AND WITH ALL FAULTS, WHETHER KNOWN, UNKNOWN, APPARENT OR LATENT.

Section 12.8 Waivers and Amendments; Non Contractual Remedies; Preservation of Remedies. This Agreement may be amended, superseded, canceled, renewed or extended, and the terms hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument signed by each of the Parties or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving compliance. Except as provided in Article X, no delay on the part of any Party on exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege, or any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that any Party may otherwise have at law or in equity.

Section 12.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or any portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by a Governmental Authority, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof (or the remaining portion thereof) or the application of such provision to any other Persons or circumstances. Upon such determination that any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or any portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 12.10 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns and legal Representatives. Neither this Agreement, nor any right hereunder, may be assigned by any Party (in whole or in part) without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without such consent to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (provided that (A) such assignment does not relieve Purchaser of its obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, (B) such assignee expressly assumes in writing any such assigned obligations of Purchaser, and (C) such assignment does not materially delay or impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Purchaser shall cause any such assignee to fully and promptly observe, perform, pay and discharge, when due, its obligations under this Agreement (on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time following the Closing, Seller may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without Purchaser’s consent to its general partner.
