Section 2.6 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) For purposes of determining the aggregate cash amount to be paid by the Purchaser to the Sellers at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.5, not more than five Business Days, but in no event less than three Business Days, before the Closing, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the Sellers’ estimate of Working Capital of the Business (the “Estimated Working Capital”), as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(b) The consideration payable at the Closing (the “Closing Cash Consideration”) shall be an amount equal to (i) Base Cash Consideration, (ii) (A) plus, if Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital, an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the amount by which Estimated Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital and (2) $5,000,000, or (B) minus, if the Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, an amount equal to the amount by which Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital.

(c) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Sellers will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to the Purchaser a statement (the “Statement of Working Capital”) setting forth the Sellers’ calculation of the Working Capital, in each case as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”).

(d) Upon receipt from the Sellers, the Purchaser shall have 60 days to review the Statement of Working Capital (the “Review Period”). If the Purchaser disagrees with the Sellers’ computation of Closing Working Capital, the Purchaser may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to the Sellers (the “Notice of Objection”), which sets forth its objections to the Sellers’ calculation of Closing Working Capital; provided, however, that the Notice of Objection shall include only objections based on (i) non-compliance with the accounting principles used in preparation of the illustrative calculation of Working Capital set forth on Section 1.1(d) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, or (ii) mathematical or factual errors in the computation of Closing Working Capital. Any Notice of Objection shall specify those items or amounts with which the Purchaser disagrees, together with a detailed explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount, and shall set forth the Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Working Capital based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in the Notice of Objection, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have agreed with the Sellers’ calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Statement of Working Capital.

(e) Unless the Purchaser delivers the Notice of Objection to the Sellers within the Review Period, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Sellers’ calculation of Closing Working Capital and the Statement of Working Capital shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. If the Purchaser delivers the Notice of Objection to the Sellers within the Review Period, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall, during the 30 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension of such time period, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of Closing Working Capital. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, the Purchaser and the Sellers are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the “Independent Expert”) or, if such firm is unwilling or unable so to act, each of the Purchaser and the Sellers shall select one such firm and those two firms shall select a third firm, which third firm shall be the “Independent Expert”. The parties shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this Section 2.6 and to determine, solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted, whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Statement of Working Capital requires adjustment. The Independent Expert shall base its determination solely on written submissions by the Purchaser and the Sellers and not on

an independent review. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Independent Expert. The parties shall request that the Independent Expert deliver to the Purchaser and the Sellers, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, a written report that sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of Closing Working Capital; provided, however, that with respect to each disputed item in relation to the computation of the Closing Working Capital, the Independent Expert shall adopt the position of either the Sellers or the Purchaser with respect to such item. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be allocated between the parties based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party.

(f) Within three Business Days after Closing Working Capital has been finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6:

(i) if the Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in the manner and with interest as provided in this Section 2.6, an amount of cash equal to the difference between the Estimated Working Capital and Closing Working Capital; provided that any amount payable to Purchaser under this Section 2.6(f)(i) shall be reduced by the amount, if any, by which Estimated Working Capital exceeded the Target Working Capital in excess of $5,000,000 but shall not be reduced to an amount less than zero; or

(ii) if the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers, in the manner and with interest as provided in this Section 2.6, an amount of cash equal to the difference between the Estimated Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Purchaser pay to the Sellers under this Section 2.6(f)(ii) and Section 2.6(b)(ii), in the aggregate, an amount greater than $5,000,000.

(g) Any payment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.6(f) shall be made by the party required to make such payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the party entitled to receive such payment at least one Business Day prior to such transfer. The amount of any such payment shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the “prime rate” as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

Section 2.7 Allocation of Purchase Price.

The Sellers shall prepare a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (and liabilities treated as assumed for Tax purposes and other capitalized costs) among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Code Section 1060 and the Treasury regulations thereunder (and any similar

provision of state, local or foreign law, as appropriate). The Sellers shall deliver such proposed allocation to the Purchaser not later than 30 days following the final resolution of the Closing Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.6. If the Purchaser and the Sellers agree upon such proposed allocation, then such proposed allocation shall become the final allocation (the “Final Allocation”). If the Purchaser raises any objections in respect of the proposed allocation, then the Purchaser and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith until they will have resolved all such objections and the so negotiated allocation shall become the Final Allocation. The Sellers and the Purchaser and their Affiliates shall report, act and file Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all Tax purposes consistent with such Final Allocation. The Purchaser shall timely and properly prepared, execute, file and deliver all such documents, forms and other information as the Sellers may reasonably request to prepare such Final Allocation. Neither the Sellers nor the Purchaser (nor their Affiliates) shall take any Tax position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such Final Allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law. If, after the proposed allocation becomes the Final Allocation, any event occurs that will result in an adjustment of the Purchase Price (including pursuant to Section 2.6), then the Purchaser and the Sellers (and their respective Affiliates) shall amend the Final Allocation accordingly.

Section 2.8 Consents. The Purchaser acknowledges that consents and waivers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements may be required from parties to Contracts to which one or more of the Sellers is a party, including certain of the Contracts listed on the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, or with respect to other Purchased Assets, and that such consents and waivers may not be obtained. The Sellers agree (x) to give all required notices to third parties, and (y) to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such third-party consents and waivers, without any material conditions to such consent or waiver or changes or modifications of terms thereunder. If any such consent or waiver is not obtained prior to Closing, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall cooperate in any reasonable arrangement pursuant to which (A) the Sellers and the Purchaser shall both use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such consents and (B) the Sellers shall, to the greatest extent permitted by Law and any such Contract (including by acting as an agent of the Purchaser), hold such Contract or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser such that the Purchaser receives the interest of the Sellers in the benefits therefrom, net of any reasonable expenses incurred by the Sellers or any Affiliate thereof in connection with such arrangement until such time as such authorization, approval, consent or waiver is obtained. Except as to any Contract providing for payment or receipt by the Sellers of aggregate annual payments in excess of $500,000 that has not been made available to the Purchaser prior the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees that except as provided in this Section 2.8 or Section 9.2, the Sellers shall not have any liability to the Purchaser arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any consents or waivers that may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreement or because of the termination of any Contract as a result thereof. With respect to any consent or waiver of a third party set forth on Section 7.2(e) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, the Sellers shall be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid, all amounts that may be contractually required to be paid to any third party and any reasonable fees and expenses that the third party incurs and contractually requires reimbursement in connection with any such consents or waivers. Notwithstanding that any such consent or waiver (other than any consents and waivers set forth on Section 7.2(e) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule) is not obtained prior to the Closing, the Closing shall take place on the terms set forth herein.

(a) The Purchaser has delivered to the Sellers a complete and correct copy of the Commitment Letter and a fully executed fee letter between the Purchaser and Citizens Bank, National Association (provided that such fee letter shall be redacted in a customary manner, it being understood that the redacted information shall not affect the conditionality, enforceability or availability of the Debt Financing) (the “Fee Letter”), pursuant to which such financial institution has committed, upon the terms and subject only to the conditions set forth therein, to provide the Debt Financing in the amounts described therein in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) As of the date hereof, (i) the Commitment Letter is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto) and binding obligation of the Purchaser and, to the knowledge of the Purchaser, the other parties thereto, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other similar legal requirements relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by equitable principles, including those limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies and those providing for equitable defenses; (ii) all commitment fees required to be paid thereunder have been paid in full or, if not yet due, will be duly paid in full when due; (iii) the Commitment Letter has not been amended or terminated; and (iv) no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default thereunder. The consummation of the Debt Financing is subject to no conditions precedent other than those set forth in the copies of the Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter delivered to the Sellers (or as set forth in any such documents as amended, or in documents replacing such documents, in each case after the date hereof and not in violation of the provisions hereof). Assuming the accuracy of the Sellers’ representations and warranties in this Agreement and the performance by the Sellers of their respective obligations hereunder and the satisfaction of the conditions in Section

7.1 and Section 7.2: (i) as of the date of this Agreement the Purchaser does not have reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Debt Financing will not be satisfied or the Debt Financing will not be consummated as contemplated by the Commitment Letter; and (ii) the aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing will be sufficient when funded, together with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Purchaser, to enable the Purchaser to pay or cause to be paid in cash all amounts required to be paid by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Cash Consideration and all payments, fees and expenses of the Purchaser related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iii) to the Purchaser’s Knowledge, there is not any fact, occurrence or condition existing on the date hereof that would constitute a default or breach under the Commitment Letter or a failure to meet any of the conditions contained therein.

(c) Subject to Section 10.12, Purchaser understands that under the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is not in any way contingent upon or otherwise subject to (i) the Purchaser’s consummation of any financing arrangements or the Purchaser’s obtaining of any financing or (ii) the availability, grant, provision or extension of any financing to the Purchaser.

Section 5.9 Disclaimer of Warranties. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE V, NONE OF THE PURCHASER OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR REPRESENTATIVES MAKE OR HAVE MADE, AND THE SELLERS ARE NOT RELYING ON, ANY OTHER REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, IN RESPECT OF THE PURCHASER.

ARTICLE VI

COVENANTS

Section 6.1 Conduct of Business. During the period from the date hereof and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, except with the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) or as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule, the Sellers shall carry on the Business in the ordinary course of business in all material respects and the Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the material business relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors and others with whom the Sellers or its Affiliates transact business in connection with the conduct of the Business in the ordinary course. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during such period, except as contemplated by this Agreement or as required by applicable Law, each Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, do any of the following, in each case with respect to the Business, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned):

(i) fail to exercise any right of renewal with respect to any material Leased Real Property that by its terms would otherwise expire;

(j) increase or decrease the overall remuneration of any Business Employee other than by an amount that is consistent with past practice in each case or as required by the Sellers’ legal or contractual obligations existing, and, in each case, described in Section 6.1(j) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule;

(k) amend, adopt, agree to participate or cease participating in, or terminate any Benefit Plan or any arrangement which would be a Benefit Plan if it existed as of the date hereof except as required by legal or contractual obligations and, in each case, described in Section 6.1(k) of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule;

(l) make any change in any method of accounting or accounting practice or policy in connection with the Business, except as required by GAAP or otherwise by applicable Law; or

(m) announce an intention, or agree formally or informally to take any of the foregoing actions.

Section 6.2 Access to Information; Investigation. Each Seller shall afford to the Purchaser, its accountants and other representatives reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours prior to the Closing, to the management of the Business, properties, other facilities, Books and Records, Contracts and records of the Business; provided, that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not (a) have access to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information (in any form whatsoever, including

through oral conversations) that the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to subject the Sellers to risk of liability, (b) have access to information where such access would waive the attorney-client privilege or contravene any Law or any Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, and (c) be entitled to conduct any invasive sampling or testing with respect to any Real Property (including with respect to groundwater, soil, air, asbestos, surface water or sediment); provided, that, in the case of clause (b) above, the Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts, including by entering into a joint defense or common interest agreement with the Purchaser, to permit the disclosure of such information without loss of such privilege or contravention of such Law or Contract. The relevant parties shall make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under the circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

Section 6.3 Notification of Certain Matters. The Sellers will give prompt written notice to the Purchaser of any fact, event or occurrence which, if existing or known as of the date hereof, would have been required to be set forth or described in the Sellers Disclosure Schedule. No such disclosure by the Sellers pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall otherwise affect or be deemed to affect or modify any representation or warranty contained herein or otherwise prejudice in any way the rights and remedies of the Parties (including indemnification rights under Article IX), nor shall any such information, knowledge or investigation be deemed to affect or modify any party’s reliance on the representations or warranties made by the other parties in this Agreement.

Section 6.4 Confidentiality. From and after the Closing Date until the second anniversary thereof, except as required by applicable Law, each Seller will, and will cause its Affiliates to, hold, and will cause its and their respective representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Business, the Purchased Assets and the other parties, except to the extent that such information (a) is in the public domain through no fault of such Seller or any of its Affiliates or their respective representatives or (b) is lawfully acquired by such Seller or any of its Affiliates after the Closing Date from sources that are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If a Seller or any of its Affiliates or representatives is compelled to disclose any such information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, such Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser and shall disclose only that portion of such information that is legally required to be disclosed; provided that such Seller shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 6.5 Consents; Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Each of the parties shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including to obtain all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and Orders as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, nothing set forth in this Section 6.5(a) shall be deemed to affect, supersede or expand the conditions set forth under Section 7.2(e) hereof.

(b) The Purchaser and the appropriate Seller shall each promptly apply for, and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain or make, as applicable, all Orders and Permits of, and all filings with, any Governmental Entity or other Person required to be obtained or made by it for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall cooperate with and promptly furnish information to the other party necessary in connection with any requirements imposed upon such other party in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if required, the Purchaser and the appropriate Seller shall make an appropriate filing required of each of them pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby within ten Business Days following the execution of this Agreement (if not already made), which filings shall not request early termination of the waiting period prescribed by the HSR Act. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall each be responsible for one-half of all filing and similar fees payable in connection with such filings and for any local counsel fees.

(c) Each of the Purchaser and the Sellers agrees to instruct its respective counsel to cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any issues arising under the HSR Act at the earliest practicable dates. Such efforts and cooperation include, counsel’s undertaking (to the extent permitted by Law and in each case regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without waiving attorney-client or any other applicable privilege) to (i) furnish to each other’s counsel such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act and (ii) permit the other party to review and incorporate the other party’s reasonable comments in any filings or other communication given by it to any Governmental Entity or in connection with any proceeding by a private party related to the HSR Act. None of the Purchaser and the Sellers nor any of their respective counsel shall independently contact any Governmental Entity or participate in any meeting or discussion (or any other communication by any means) with any Governmental Entity in respect of any such filings, applications, investigation or other inquiry without giving, in the case of the Purchaser, the appropriate Seller, and in the case of the Sellers, the Purchaser, prior reasonable notice of the meeting or discussion, the opportunity to confer with each other regarding appropriate contacts with and responses to personnel of said Governmental Entity, the opportunity to review and agree to the contents of any representations (oral or otherwise) expected to be communicated at the meeting or discussion, and, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and participate at the meeting or discussion (which, at the request of the Purchaser or the Sellers, as applicable, shall be limited to outside antitrust counsel only).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser (in good faith consultation with the Sellers) shall take the lead in, and shall have the sole discretion and authority with respect to: (i) the scheduling of, and strategic planning for, any meeting with any Governmental Entity, including under the HSR Act, (ii) the making of any filings with Governmental Entities, including the initial filings under the HSR Act (other than the filings to be made by the Sellers, which, after consultation the Purchaser, the Sellers shall take the lead in making), (iii) the process for the receipt of any necessary approvals of Governmental Entities, (iv) the resolution of any investigation or other inquiry of any Governmental Entity, (v) devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances, including in connection with the determination of any actions required in connection with obtaining such clearances, (vi) all meetings and communications with any Governmental Entity, including in connection with obtaining any such clearances referenced in the preceding clause and (vii) determining if, and if so, the time, manner and terms upon which, any divestitures, dispositions or other remedies would be implemented.

(e) The Purchaser further agrees that the Purchaser shall, to the extent necessary to obtain any required Orders or Permits from any Governmental Entity, expiration or termination of any waiting period for any regulatory approval, or to avoid the entry of or have lifted, vacated or terminated any legal impediment to closing, take the following actions: (i) propose, negotiate, consent to, offer to undertake, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition (including by licensing any intellectual property) of any Purchased Assets; and (ii) otherwise offer to take, commit to take or take any action that it is capable of taking that limits its freedom of action with respect to, including its ability to operate or retain, any of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be required to take any such action or actions to the extent such actions, in the aggregate, would represent, directly or indirectly, assets or businesses that would reasonably be likely to result in the one year loss of net sales revenues (as measured by fiscal year 2014 net sales revenue) in excess of $30,000,000.

Section 6.6 Public Announcements. Neither the Purchaser nor the Sellers shall issue any press releases or otherwise make any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other; provided, however, that the Purchaser or the Sellers may, without such approval, make such press releases or other public announcement as it believes are required pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market, applicable securities Laws or in connection with the Debt Financing, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

Section 6.7 Names. As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall execute and file all such executed documents as may be required to change the name of any Seller, the name of which includes the name of any publication purchased in the Purchased Assets to a name that does not include such words.

Section 6.8 Employees.

(a) The Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser, within ten (10) days after the date hereof and again on the Closing, a list of each Business Employee, such employees’ base salary and bonus opportunities, the employees’ date of hire, and the primary geographic location of their employment with the Sellers, as of the date hereof, broken down into the following categories: (i) active, (ii) inactive on leave of absence with reemployment rights and (iii) on short-term disability under the Sellers’ short-term disability policy. From the date hereof to the Closing, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make all Business Employees reasonably available to the Purchaser for in-person and telephonic interviews to assist the Purchaser in evaluating if offers of employment will be made. Excluding employees who are part of a collective bargaining unit, not less than five days prior to the Closing, the Purchaser (i) agrees that it will make offers of employment to the greater of (A) substantially all of the Business Employees and (B) a number of Business Employees in their current positions and locations that would not create any obligation or liability under WARN or similar state law; and (ii) will provide to the Sellers a list of Business Employees to whom the Purchaser does not intend to make offers of employment.

(b) The Purchaser will make offers of employment to all of the Business Employees that are not on the list provided by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.8(a) to commence effective upon the Closing. Such offers may be made before the Closing as the Purchaser may determine. Such offers of employment shall be at comparable wage rates or base salary and bonus levels as are identified in Section 4.16(a), and, if at a location different from the Business Employee’s current location of employment with the applicable Seller, at a commuting distance no greater than 50 miles farther away from such Business Employee’s current location of employment. With respect to each Business Employee who accepts the Purchaser’s offer of employment (a “Transferred Employee”), the Purchaser shall credit periods of service prior to the Closing for purposes of determining eligibility, vesting and benefit entitlement under all compensation and benefit plans, programs and policies maintained by the Purchaser after the Closing; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall not be required to credit any service to the extent that doing so would result in duplication of benefits, and further provided that nothing herein entitles any Transferred Employee to contributions under any retirement plan for time periods prior to the Closing. Not later than the Closing Date, the Sellers will provide to the Purchaser such information with respect to each Transferred Employee as may be reasonably necessary to permit the Purchaser to comply with its covenants in this Section 6.8 with respect to the Transferred Employees.

(c) The Purchaser further agrees that it will not engage in any action within 90 days following the Closing that will create any obligation or liability under WARN to any Business Employee or Transferred Employee.

(d) Without limiting the scope of Section 6.8(b), the Purchaser shall provide each Transferred Employee (and his or her eligible dependents) with the opportunity to be covered by a group health plan (within the meaning of section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) on the first day of the month following the Closing. The Sellers shall cover the Transferred Employees under Sellers’ group health plans until the end of the month in which the Closing occurs and shall remain responsible for all claims incurred by Transferred Employees while such employees are covered by the Sellers’ group health plans. The Purchaser shall be responsible for all claims incurred by the Transferred Employees while such employees are covered by the Purchaser’s group health plans. For purposes of clarity, a claim shall be considered incurred when the treatment for a given condition is provided, and not when the condition arose.

(e) Purchaser will maintain or, if it does not exist, establish, a health care and dependent care flexible spending account arrangement pursuant to Section 125 or 129 of the Code (collectively, “FSAs”). Purchaser will honor the elections of all Transferred Employees under the FSAs of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, and Purchaser will assume responsibility for administering all reimbursement claims of the Transferred Employees with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs that are submitted to Purchaser for payment on or after the Closing Date, whether arising before, on or after the Closing Date, under Purchaser’s FSAs. As soon as practicable but no more than forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, and except to the extent taken into account in the computation of Closing Working Capital, Sellers will cause to be transferred to

Purchaser an amount in cash equal to (i) the sum of all contributions to the FSAs of Sellers or their Affiliates with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs by or on behalf of the Transferred Employees prior to the Closing Date, reduced by (ii) the sum of all claims incurred in the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs that are submitted to the Sellers for payment prior to the Closing Date and paid by the FSAs of the Sellers or their Affiliates with respect to such Transferred Employees prior to the date of such cash transfer to Purchaser; provided, however, if this calculation results in a negative number, then Purchaser will pay to the Sellers (on behalf of any relevant Affiliate of the Sellers) as soon as practicable but not more than forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date, the amount by which (ii) exceeds (i). Effective as of the Closing Date, the Sellers shall provide the Purchaser with such information as is necessary for the Purchaser to establish FSAs for such Transferred Employees, including, but not limited to, each such Transferred Employee’s annual FSA election amount and account balance as of the Closing Date.

(f) As soon as administratively practicable after the Closing, the Purchaser shall establish a 401(k) plan, or cause an existing 401(k) plan, to cover the Transferred Employees, subject to contrary collective bargaining agreement provisions (if any) applicable to Transferred Employees after Closing. The Purchaser shall permit such Transferred Employees to rollover any distribution from the Sellers’ 401(k) plan to its 401(k) plan.

(g) For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall remain liable for all withdrawal liability relating to any obligation (current, past or future, contingent or otherwise (in each case with respect to multiemployer plan participation for periods before Closing)) on the part of the Sellers or any of its ERISA Affiliates to contribute to any multiemployer plan and shall pay all such liabilities as they come due. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Purchaser nor its ERISA Affiliates shall be or shall become liable for any such withdrawal liability, nor shall the Purchaser or any ERISA Affiliate incur an obligation to contribute to any multiemployer plan in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(h) The provisions of this Section 6.8 are solely for the benefit of the respective parties to this Agreement and nothing in this Section 6.8, express or implied, shall confer upon any Business Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular employee benefit plan of the Purchaser or Sellers, (ii) obligate the Purchaser or any of its ERISA Affiliates to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan or arrangement or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee, (iii) prevent the Purchaser or any of its ERISA Affiliates from amending or terminating any benefit plan or arrangement, or (iv) give any third party the right to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(i) With respect to all Benefit Plans, the Sellers shall make all required payments, premiums or contributions for all periods (or partial periods) ending prior to or as of the Closing Date.

Section 6.9 Taxes.

(a) The Purchaser shall pay 100% of all federal, state and local sales and use, documentary and real estate and other transfer taxes, if any, due as a result of the purchase, sale or transfer of the Purchased Assets in accordance herewith, whether imposed by Law on the Sellers or the Purchaser. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns regarding any transfer taxes which become payable as a result of the transfer of the Purchased Assets from the Sellers to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) All real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied and assessed with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period prior to the period that includes the Closing Date shall be paid by the Sellers. All real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied and assessed with respect to the Purchased Assets for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date shall be apportioned between the Sellers and the Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the number of days of such taxable period included in the period ending with and including the Closing Date (with respect to any such taxable period, the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), and the number of days of such taxable period beginning after the Closing Date (with respect to any such taxable period, the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). The Sellers shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and the Purchaser shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Period. If bills for such Taxes have not been issued as of the Closing Date and if the amount of such Taxes for the period including the Closing Date is not then known, the apportionment of such Taxes shall be made at Closing on the basis of the prior period’s Taxes. After Closing, upon receipt of bills for the period including the Closing Date, adjustments to the apportionment shall be made by the parties, so that if either party paid more than its proper share at the Closing, the other party shall promptly reimburse such party for the excess amount paid by such party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the apportionment of any Taxes is included as part of the purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.6, any amount so included will not be subject to the apportionment described in this Section 6.9(b).

(c) The Purchaser and the Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities (including access to books and records) as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority, and the prosecution or defense of any Action relating to any Tax. Any expenses incurred in furnishing such information or assistance shall be borne by the party requesting it.

(d) The Purchaser shall prepare and file any Local Tax Returns due after the Closing Date (including any final returns, as appropriate) for (i) taxable periods ending after the Closing Date or which include the Closing Date or (ii) the last taxable period ending prior to the Closing Date if the Tax Return is due after the Closing Date. Such Local Tax Returns will be prepared consistent with prior practice. The Sellers will reimburse the Purchaser for any Taxes shown due on such returns to the extent that such Taxes are not Assumed Liabilities under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4. Prior to filing any Local Tax Returns in accordance with this Section 6.9(d), the Purchaser will provide the Sellers a copy of any such returns for their review

and comment, which comments shall be incorporated into such Local Tax Returns prior to filing. After the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall control on the Sellers’ behalf any tax audits with respect to Local Tax Returns filed by the Purchaser after the Closing Date, and will cooperate with the applicable Taxing Authority to reach a resolution of any such audit. The Purchaser shall (x) keep the Sellers informed of the status of any such audit, and (y) will not agree to a settlement or resolution without the Sellers’ prior written consent. The Sellers shall be responsible for the liability resulting from such audit to the extent that such liability is not an Assumed Liability.

Section 6.10 Bulk Sales Laws. Except as provided in Section 9.2(e), the Purchaser and the Sellers hereby waive compliance by the Sellers and the Purchaser with the bulk sales Laws and any other similar Laws in any applicable jurisdiction in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 6.11 Access to Books and Records. Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser shall preserve until the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date all records possessed or to be possessed by such party relating to any of the assets, Liabilities or business of the Business prior to the Closing. After the Closing Date, where there is a legitimate business purpose, such party shall provide the other party with reasonable access, upon prior reasonable written request specifying the need therefor, during regular business hours, to (a) the officers and employees of such party and (b) the books of account and records of such party, but, in each case, only to the extent relating to the assets, Liabilities or business of the Business prior to the Closing, and the other party and its representatives shall have the right to make copies of such books and records at their sole cost; provided, however, that the foregoing right of access shall not be exercisable in such a manner as to interfere unreasonably with the normal operations and business of such party. Such records may nevertheless be destroyed by a party if such party sends to the other party written notice of its intent to destroy records, specifying with particularity the contents of the records to be destroyed. Such records may then be destroyed after the 60th day after such notice is given unless the other party objects to the destruction, in which case the party seeking to destroy the records shall deliver such records to the objecting party at the objecting party’s cost.

Section 6.12 Further Assurances. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall execute such documents and other instruments and take such further actions as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall each use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions and to do or cause to be done all other things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. If requested by the Sellers, the Purchaser will provide written confirmation to the other parties to any Assigned Contract of the Purchaser’s assumption thereof in the form required by such Assigned Contract or otherwise reasonably requested by the Sellers. If at any time after the Closing: (a) any Seller receives any cash in respect of any Purchased Assets, such Seller shall remit such cash to the Purchaser or its designee promptly following such receipt; and (b) the Purchaser or any Subsidiary thereof receives any cash in respect of any Excluded Asset, the Purchaser or such Subsidiary shall remit such amount to the relevant Seller or its designee promptly following such receipt.

Section 6.13 Support Services. Except as set forth in Section 2.8 and Articles VI and IX of this Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement, the Purchaser agrees that as of the Closing Date, the Sellers and their respective Affiliates shall have no obligation to provide any support or other services to the Business (including any of the services for which allocations were previously paid by the Business).

Section 6.14 Lease Guaranty. The Purchaser shall assume all obligations of reimbursement under each guaranty arising after the Closing Date by any Seller or any of its Affiliates for any Leased Real Property and/or replace any applicable letters of credit associated therewith and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the applicable beneficiary a full release of all parties liable, directly or indirectly, for reimbursement in connection with such guaranty or credit support obligations. To the extent the Purchaser is unable, notwithstanding its compliance with the immediately preceding sentence, to obtain such release, the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective Affiliates against, and reimburse the Sellers and their respective Affiliates for, any and all Losses in connection with such guaranty arising after the Closing Date, and shall in any event promptly reimburse the Sellers and their respective Affiliates to the extent such guaranty is called upon and any of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates makes any payment thereunder.

Section 6.15 Noncompetition and Related Covenants.

(a) For a period of three years after the Closing Date, no Seller or any of their respective equity owners will invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, advise or guarantee the obligations of any Person whose business includes any daily, bi-weekly or weekly local print, online or other digital news publication, which is primarily targeted at and is primarily intended to serve any county or portion thereof that are currently served by the Business (which shall include those counties listed on Section 6.15 of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule) (the “Restricted Area”); provided, however, that in no event shall any of the following be deemed a breach or violation of this Section 6.15: (A) ownership of less than 5% of any publicly traded company; (B) investing in, owning, managing, operating, financing, controlling, advising or guaranteeing the obligations of any Person whose business operates at a national level, even if a portion of that business competes in the individual markets that the Business presently serves; or (C) any current activity of any Seller or any Affiliate other than the activities of the Business.

(b) For a period of two years after the Closing Date, no Seller or any of its Affiliates will induce or attempt to induce any individual who is then an employee or independent contractor of the Purchaser to leave the employ or service, as applicable, of the Purchaser, or in any way knowingly interfere with the relationship between the Purchaser, on the one hand, and any such employee or independent contractor thereof, on the other hand; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.15 shall prohibit any Seller or any member of any Seller from engaging in any general employment solicitation (including solicitations through recruiting firms and the Internet) not targeted at employees of the Business, or from hiring any individual who responds to any such solicitations without encouragement from any Seller or any member of any Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 6.15(b) shall not apply to the hiring or solicitation of accounting personnel of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

(c) If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in this Section 6.15 is invalid or unenforceable, then the parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

(i) by mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Sellers;

(ii) by the Purchaser or the Sellers if:

(1) the Closing does not occur on or before the date that is 120 days following the date hereof (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(a)(ii)(1) shall not be available to any party whose breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement under this Agreement has been the primary cause of or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date; or

Section 9.4 Indemnification Procedures for Third Party Claims.

(a) In the event that any claim or demand for which an Indemnitor may be liable to an Indemnitee hereunder is asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitee shall promptly, and in any event within 30 days, provide written notice to the Indemnitor of such Third Party Claim (a “Claim Notice”). The Claim Notice shall (i) state that the Indemnitee has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant hereto, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement curtained herein to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder. The Indemnitee shall enclose with the Claim Notice a copy of all papers served with respect to such Third Party Claim and any other documents evidencing such Third Party Claim. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnitor from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnitor will have 30 days from the date on which the Indemnitor received the Claim Notice to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor has elected to assume the defense or prosecution of such Third Party Claim and any litigation resulting therefrom with counsel of its choice and at its sole cost and expense (a “Third Party Defense”). If the Indemnitor assumes the Third Party Defense in accordance herewith: (i) the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (as to which the Indemnitee shall not be entitled to indemnification) and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim but the Indemnitor shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; (ii) the Indemnitee will not file any papers or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor; and (iii) the Indemnitor will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent such judgment or settlement provides for equitable relief without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee. The parties hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize Losses from Third Party Claims, act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with such claims, and cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to and copies of all information, records and documents relevant thereto. Whether or not the Indemnitor has assumed the Third Party Defense, the Indemnitor will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.

(c) If the Indemnitor does not assume the Third Party Defense within 30 days of receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume the Third Party Defense at its sole cost and expense (or, if the Indemnitee incurs a Loss with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as applicable, at the expense of the Indemnitor) upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor (i) shall have the right to participate in the Third Party Defense at its sole cost and expense, but the Indemnitee shall control the investigation, defense and settlement thereof; and (ii) will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the Indemnitor’s prior written consent.

Section 9.5 Indemnification Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnitee will provide written notice to the Indemnitor promptly, and in any event within 30 days, following its discovery of any matter for which the Indemnitor may be liable hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim, which Claim Notice shall (i) state that the Indemnitee has paid or properly accrued Losses or anticipates that it will incur liability for Losses for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant hereto, and (ii) specify in reasonable detail each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the date such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein to which each such item is related and the computation of the amount to which such Indemnitee claims to be entitled hereunder. If the Indemnitor does not acknowledge in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to such Losses within 30 days after its receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitee will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to it hereunder. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnitor from any of its obligations under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnitor in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnitee and in otherwise resolving such matters. Such assistance and cooperation will include providing reasonable access to and copies of information, records and documents relating to such matters, furnishing employees to assist in the investigation, defense and resolution of such matters and providing legal and business assistance with respect to such matters.

Section 9.6 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) No party hereto shall be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Person pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a): (i) unless a Claim Notice is delivered prior to the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty, as applicable; and (ii) with respect to a claim pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a) for the breach of a representation and warranty other than the Specified Representations, unless and until the aggregate Losses of (A) the Purchaser, in the case of the Sellers, with respect to any such claims, or (B) the Sellers, in the case of the Purchaser, with respect to any such claims, exceed $1,400,000, at which point such party shall be liable for all such Losses exceeding $1,400,000.

Each party hereto agrees that, for so long as such party has any right of indemnification under this Article IX, it shall not, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that its Affiliates do not, voluntarily or by discretionary action, accelerate the timing or increase the cost of any obligation of any other party under this Article IX, except to the extent that such action is taken (x) for a reasonable legitimate purpose and not with a purpose of discovering a condition that would constitute a breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of any other party hereto or (y) in response to a discovery by such party, without violation of the immediately preceding clause (x), of meaningful evidence of a condition that constitutes a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any other party hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Indemnitor shall not be obligated to indemnify an Indemnitee for any Loss to the extent arising from any such voluntary or discretionary action, other than as so excepted.

(e) In addition to the other limitations set forth in this Article IX, with respect to any claim by the Purchaser for indemnification relating to Losses arising out of, relating to or resulting from: (x) any breach of any representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.17, or (y) any Excluded Liability relating to environmental matters or Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements, including Pre-Closing Environmental Liabilities (collectively, “Environmental Losses”), the Sellers’ obligation to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Purchaser shall be limited to the extent: (i) Purchaser’s insurer provides actual coverage, pursuant to the Purchaser’s Environmental Insurance Policy, for the Environmental Loss; (ii) (A) any such Environmental Loss arises out of a Third Party Claim that is solicited by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, representatives or agents or (B) any investigation, monitoring, removal, abatement, disposal, remediation, corrective action, and/or any other response action (“Response Action”) forming the basis of any such Environmental Loss is not reasonably necessary to comply with Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements and/or notices, directives or orders from any Governmental Entities; (iii) any such Environmental Loss would not have arisen but for any disclosure to any Governmental Entity by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, representatives or agents, except to the extent such disclosure was required by applicable Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements and/or any requests for information, notices, directives or orders from any Governmental Entity; (iv) any such Environmental Loss would not have arisen but for any intrusive investigations by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, representatives or agents that are not (A) reasonably necessary to comply with applicable Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements and/or any notices, directives or orders from any Governmental Entity or (B) required by landlords at Leased Real Property pursuant to the terms of an applicable lease, and with respect to the Owned Real Property, any intrusive investigations by prospective purchasers or tenants; (v) any Response Action forming the basis for any such Environmental Loss exceeds the cost of reasonable, cost effective Response Actions acceptable under Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements (including engineering or institutional controls or any lesser standards resulting from any site-specific risk assessments)

based on the industrial or commercial use of the relevant facility or property; and (vi) any such Environmental Loss resulting from any condition or circumstance caused, contributed to or exacerbated by the Purchaser, any Affiliate of the Purchaser or any other Person under their control after the Closing Date.

(f) Except for the Purchaser’s rights to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or with respect to any claim for intentional fraud, the Purchaser shall have no claim or right to indemnification, and none of the Sellers or any other Person shall have or be subject to any liability to the other party hereto or any other Person, with respect to any information, documents or materials furnished or made available to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors by the Sellers or Affiliates thereof or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors, whether orally or in writing, in certain “data rooms”, management presentations, functional “break out” discussions, responses to questions submitted on behalf of the Purchaser or in any other form in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 9.7 Additional Procedures for Environmental Losses.

(a) If the Purchaser seeks indemnification for any Environmental Losses, it shall follow the claim procedures set forth in Section 9.4 or Section 9.5 as modified and supplemented by the procedures set forth in this Section 9.7. Any Claim Notice provided by the Purchaser for an Environmental Loss must: (i) comply with the requirements and procedures set forth in Section 9.4 or Section 9.5 and also must set forth with reasonable particularity the nature of the condition or event underlying or giving rise to the Environmental Loss; and (ii) include, to the extent known, the estimated amount of any Environmental Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by the Purchaser with respect to such Environmental Loss. The Purchaser shall also provide the Sellers with copies of any non-privileged environmental reports, data, proposals, claims and correspondence in the possession of the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof relevant to the Environmental Loss.

(b) Upon receipt of any Claim Notice, Sellers shall make a determination as to coverage for the claim under either Sellers’ Environmental Insurance Policy or Sellers’ right to environmental indemnification by the New York Times Company pursuant to the NY Times APA. Sellers shall submit all required notices and seek prompt confirmation of coverage under either Sellers’ Environmental Insurance Policy or the New York Times Company’s indemnification obligation. Purchaser shall make reasonable efforts to cooperate and assist Seller in obtaining such confirmation. If coverage for such claim is provided by Sellers’ Environmental Insurance Policy or the New York Times Company’s indemnification obligation, then the procedures for conducting, directing, managing, implementing and controlling the resolution of any such Environmental Loss shall be governed by Sellers’ Environmental Insurance Policy or the terms of the New York Times Company’s indemnification obligation pursuant to the NY Times APA. In that event, Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser for any additional Losses incurred by Purchaser (including, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages) as a result of the conduct, direction, management, implementation and/or control of the resolution of any such Environmental Loss by Sellers’ insurer or the NY Times Company.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 9.7(b), the Sellers and Purchaser shall agree on a mutually satisfactory plan for conducting, directing, managing, implementing and controlling the resolution of any Environmental Loss for which Sellers have an indemnification responsibility or liability under this Agreement and for which Sellers have formally assumed the defense of (pursuant to Section 9.4) or acknowledged (pursuant to Section 9.5) and are continuing to satisfy their indemnification obligation hereunder, including (i) selecting and retaining counsel and consultants, and (ii) raising timely and reasonable objections and defenses.

(d) The Purchaser shall provide, via one or more site access agreements that are mutually satisfactory to the parties, reasonable access to the relevant Real Property to the Sellers and their representatives and agents (including, if applicable pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.7(b), insurers and indemnitors of Sellers) to enable the Sellers to comply with their indemnification obligations hereunder with respect to Environmental Losses.

(e) With respect to any Environmental Loss for which the Sellers have an indemnification obligation hereunder, the Sellers, subject to the provisions in Section 9.7(b) above, if applicable, agree to provide the Purchaser with the following: (i) copies of material draft reports and final reports, plans and other material documents prior to the submission thereof to any Governmental Entity, and an opportunity to comment on the same (which comments will be given due and good faith consideration so long as they are timely submitted); and (ii) an opportunity to meet with the Sellers and their representatives prior to and following any material substantive communications or meetings with any Governmental Entity. The Purchaser shall not submit any substantive reports, plans or other documents to, or have any substantive communications with, any Governmental Entity with respect to any Environmental Loss for which the Sellers have formally assumed the defense of (pursuant to Section 9.4) or acknowledged (pursuant to Section 9.5) and are continuing to satisfy their indemnification obligation hereunder without first obtaining Sellers’ written consent to submit such documents or have such communications.

(f) The provisions in this Section 9.7 shall govern with respect to Environmental Losses to the extent there is a conflict with the provisions pertaining to procedural rights and obligations in other sections of this Article IX.

Section 9.8 Exclusive Remedy. The Purchaser and the Sellers acknowledge and agree that, except for the right to specific performance pursuant to Section 10.12 or with respect to any claim for intentional fraud, following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of Section 9.2 and Section 9.3 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser and the Sellers for any breach by other party hereto of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(d) and Section 7.3(c) and for any failure by the other party to perform and comply with any covenants and agreements in this Agreement, and anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall give rise to any right on the part of the Purchaser or the Sellers after the Closing to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby waives any and all rights, claims and causes of action which such party may have against any other party hereto or any of its Affiliates arising under or based upon any Law or otherwise, other than pursuant to this Article IX or with respect to any claim for intentional fraud.

Section 9.9 Mitigation. Each party hereto shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses.

Section 9.10 Treatment of Indemnity Benefits. All payments made by the Sellers or the Purchaser pursuant to obligations under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes.

Section 10.2 Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither this Section 10.2 nor Section 6.19, Section 6.20, Section 10.4, Section 10.6 or Section 10.8 (or any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of such Sections) may be amended, supplemented, modified or waived in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of the Lender Parties in any respect without the written consent of the Lender Parties.

Section 10.3 Expenses.

Section 10.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any Seller without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, or by the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Sellers; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights and interest hereunder (a) to any of its Affiliates, in each case without the prior consent of the Sellers if such assignment does not delay or impede the fulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 or (b) to its Lenders. Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective executors, heirs, personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Laws rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 10.6 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. EACH PARTY HERETO CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW CASTLE IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY HERETO ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE ANCILLARY AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OUT OF ANY OF SUCH COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WITH SUCH SERVICE TO BECOME EFFECTIVE 15 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER SUCH MAILING. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL IN ANY WAY BE DEEMED TO LIMIT THE ABILITY OF EITHER PARTY HERETO TO SERVE ANY SUCH LEGAL PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICES AND DOCUMENTS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party hereto hereby (v) agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Lender Parties in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof), (w) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (x) agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at its address provided in Section 10.1 shall be effective service of process against it for any such action brought in any such court, (y) waives and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court and (z) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 10.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 10.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights, and this Agreement does not confer any such rights, upon any other Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Sections 6.19, 10.2, 10.4, 10.6 and this Section 10.8 shall expressly inure to the benefit of the Lender Parties and the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on and enforce the provisions of such Sections

Section 10.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements, the Schedules and the other documents, instruments and agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Any and all previous agreements and understandings between or among the parties regarding the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral, are superseded by this Agreement, except for any confidentiality agreement entered into between the parties hereto, or their respective designees, which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

Section 10.10 Captions. All captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, do not form a part of this Agreement and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby: (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by such provision or its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such provision as may be possible.

Section 10.12 Specific Performance. The Purchaser and the Sellers each agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by them in accordance with the terms hereof, and that each party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy available at Law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Sellers shall not be entitled to specifically enforce the obligations of the Purchaser to conduct the Closing unless the Debt Financing has been, or would at such Closing be, funded by the Lenders on the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter.

Section 10.13 Interpretation. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and, in the event that an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Any matter disclosed in any section or subsection of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosed for the purposes of each other section and subsection of the Sellers Disclosure Schedule.

Section 10.14 Legal Privilege. The Purchaser waives and will not assert any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation, after the Closing, of any Seller or any Affiliate thereof or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or representatives (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) by any law firm currently representing any Seller (the “Current Representations”). The Purchaser will not assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between any legal counsel and any Designated Person occurring during the Current Representation in connection with any dispute between any Designated Person and the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all such rights to such attorney-client privilege and to control such attorney-client privilege in any such dispute shall be retained by such Designated Person.
