(a)As soon as practicable, but not later than the earlier to occur of (i) ninety (90) days following the Second Closing Date and (ii) August 1, 2022, if the Second Closing does not occur, Buyer shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Parent a statement in substantially the same form as each Estimated Closing Statement (the “Post-Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of each of (a) (i) the aggregate combined Closing Net Working Capital for both Closings, (ii) the aggregate Closing Fixed Assets Value for both Closings, (iii) the aggregate Closing Indebtedness for both Closings, and (iv) the aggregate Unpaid Transaction Expenses for both Closings, in the case of clauses (i) through (iv), together with reasonably detailed supporting documents for the calculation thereof and (b) a calculation of the Final Purchase Price. The Post-Closing Statement shall become final and binding on the Parties pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.6.

(b)During the thirty (30) days immediately following Parent’s receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (the “Review Period”), Parent and its Representatives shall be given reasonable access to the Books and Records and the working papers of Buyer and Buyer’s and/or Acquired Companies’ accountants relating to the Post-Closing Statement. The Post-Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties unless Parent delivers to Buyer a written notice of disagreement (the “Dispute Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Review Period. The Dispute Notice shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature and amount of any dispute so asserted with respect to any item set forth in the Post-Closing Statement (each a “Disputed Item”), (ii) specify an alternative amount (to the extent reasonably determinable) for each Disputed Item, and (iii) include a proposed recalculation of each of the aggregate combined Closing Net Working Capital for both Closings, the aggregate Closing Fixed Assets Value for both Closings, the aggregate Closing Indebtedness for both Closings, and the aggregate Unpaid Transaction Expenses for both Closings, and the Final Purchase Price. Any items not disputed in the Dispute Notice shall be deemed to have been accepted by Parent.

(c)If a timely Dispute Notice is received by Buyer, then the Post-Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of (i) the date the Parties resolve in writing all Disputed Items specified in the Dispute Notice and (ii) the date all Disputed Items are finally resolved in writing by the Accountant pursuant to Section 2.6(d), and in each case, the Post-Closing Statement has been modified to fully reflect the resolution of all Disputed Items and all other mutual agreements of the Parties in respect of the Post-Closing Statement. During the thirty (30) days immediately following Buyer’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, the Parties shall consult in good faith to resolve in writing any Disputed Items specified in the Dispute Notice. During such consultation period, Buyer shall have reasonable access to the working papers and any other materials used by Parent (and its Representatives) in connection with the preparation of the Dispute Notice.

(d)At the end of such thirty (30)-day consultation period, if the Parties have not resolved all Disputed Items, the Parties, jointly, will engage the Accountant and thereafter will submit any remaining Disputed Items to the Accountant for final determination in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.6(d). The Accountant shall act as an expert (and not as an arbitrator) to resolve the Disputed Items. The Accountant’s final determination of the

-31-

remaining Disputed Items shall be solely based on (i) the definitions and other applicable provisions of this Agreement, (ii) a single written presentation submitted by each Party (which the Accountant shall be instructed to distribute to the Parties upon receipt of both such presentations), (iii) a single written response of each Party to each such presentation so submitted (which the Accountant shall be instructed to distribute to the Parties upon receipt of such responses), and (iv) the information contained in the Post-Closing Statement (as originally delivered by Buyer and modified by any mutual agreements reached by the Parties prior to submission of remaining Disputed Items to the Accountant for resolution) and the Dispute Notice. Any Disputed Item not specifically disputed in the Dispute Notice shall be deemed final and binding on the Parties and shall not be modified by the Accountant. The Parties shall use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Accountant to finally resolve all Disputed Items as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date the Disputed Items are first submitted to the Accountant. With respect to each Disputed Item, the Accountant may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value claimed for such Disputed Item by either Party or lower than the lowest value claimed for such Disputed Item by either Party, in each case, as set forth in the Post-Closing Statement (originally delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.6(a)) or the Dispute Notice, as applicable. Absent manifest error by the Accountant, the written determination of the Disputed Items by the Accountant shall be final and binding on the Parties. Following the Accountant’s final determination with respect to the Disputed Items, the Accountant will also prepare and deliver to the Parties a calculation and statement of the finally determined aggregate combined Closing Net Working Capital for both Closings, the aggregate Closing Fixed Assets Value for both Closings, the aggregate Closing Indebtedness for both Closings, and the aggregate Unpaid Transaction Expenses for both Closings, and the Final Purchase Price.

(e)The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be initially paid by Buyer, but shall thereafter be allocated between Buyer, on one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, so that Parent’s share of such fees and expenses shall be equal to the product of (i) the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses, and (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate amounts of Disputed Items that are ultimately unsuccessfully disputed by Parent (as determined by the Accountant), if any, and the denominator of which is the aggregate amounts of Disputed Items submitted to the Accountant. The balance of such fees and expenses shall be borne by Buyer. The Parties will otherwise each bear their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of the Post-Closing Statement, the negotiation of disputed matters (including the Disputed Items) and the modification to the Post-Closing Statement to reflect the mutual resolution of disputed matters (including the Disputed Items) in accordance with this Section 2.6.

(f)No later than five (5) days following final determination of the Post-Closing Statement and the components thereof:

(i)if the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, then (A) the Parties shall direct the Escrow Agent to pay Buyer from the Adjustment Escrow Amount an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated Purchase Price over the Final Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer in writing and (B) if the amount by which the Estimated Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase

-32-

Price is in excess of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, Parent shall pay, or caused to be paid, to Buyer an amount equal to such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Buyer in writing; or

(ii)if the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, then Buyer shall pay, or caused to be paid, to Parent an amount equal to the excess of the Final Purchase Price over the Estimated Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Parent in writing; and

(iii)following any payments described in the Sections 2.6(f)(i) and 2.6(f)(ii), Parent and Buyer shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay to (1) Buyer the portion of the fees and expenses of the Accountant, including any retainer, if any, for which Parent is responsible pursuant to Section 2.6(e) and (2) Parent the remainder of the Adjustment Escrow Amount, in each case, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by either Party, as the case may be.

(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, subject to Section 8.2(a)(iii), the process and adjustments set forth in this Section 2.6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties with respect to items required hereunder to be included or reflected in the Post-Closing Statement and the calculation of the Final Purchase Price or the components thereof.

(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2(a), Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) nothing in Section 6.2(a) shall prevent Landcar Management (during the First Interim Period) from causing any Acquired Company from taking or failing to take any action (including the establishment of any policy, procedure or protocol) pursuant to any applicable Public Safety Measures or any internal written health and safety protocols or directives of the Acquired Companies in connection with or in response to such Public Safety Measures and (ii) no Consent of Buyer shall be required with respect to any matter (1) to the extent that the requirement of such Consent would violate applicable Law or (2) such action is taken, or omitted to be taken, by Landcar Management or any Acquired Company pursuant to any applicable Public Safety Measures or any internal written health and safety protocols or directives of the Acquired Companies in connection with or in response to such Public Safety Measures.

(c)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.2, following the First Closing, Landcar Management shall, and Buyer shall cause Landcar Management to, perform its obligations pursuant to each Management Agreement with respect to each Excluded New Car Entity and each Acquired Company not deemed a First Closing Acquired Company pursuant to the terms of the applicable Management Agreement.

VI.3Access.

(a)During the Interim Periods, at reasonable times without causing unreasonable disruption to the operations of the Acquired Companies, consistent with applicable Law (including any applicable Public Safety Measures), Landcar Management shall, during the First Interim Period, and Parent shall during the Second Interim Period, cause the Acquired Companies (excluding the First Closing Acquired Companies following the First Closing) to provide Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to the Books and Records, Leased Real Property and other properties, assets, premises, Contracts and other documents and data related to the Acquired Companies as Buyer may from time to time reasonably request, including, if requested and allowed by the applicable lease for the Leased Real Property, access to the Leased Real Property to conduct Phase I environmental site assessments. If the results of a Phase I

-58-

environmental site assessment recommend further investigation, Seller shall, if permitted by the applicable lease for the Leased Real Property, provide reasonable access for a Phase II site investigation but only in accordance with a written site access agreement between Buyer and Seller describing the time for access and the specific areas and methods for investigation, including Buyer’s agreement to restore the areas investigated to pre-investigation condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landcar Management may, during the First Interim Period, and Parent may during the Second Interim Period, cause any Acquired Companies (excluding the First Closing Acquired Companies following the First Closing) to withhold (i) any document or information that is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third Person, (ii) information that, if disclosed, would violate an attorney-client or other privilege or would constitute a waiver of rights as to attorney work product or attorney-client privilege, or (iii) information, the disclosure of which would violate applicable Law, such as portions of documents or information relating to pricing or other matters that are highly sensitive, if the exchange of such documents (or portions thereof) or information, as determined by Katten, might reasonably result in antitrust compliance questions for Parent (or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer be permitted to speak to (x) any Business Employees or (y) any customer, vendor, or service provider of the Acquired Companies with respect to the Business, in each case, absent the prior written Consent of Parent.

(b)For a period of seven (7) years after the applicable Closing, Buyer shall (i) retain the Books and Records relating to periods prior to such Closing and (ii) afford Parent reasonable access (including the right to make, at Parent’s expense, photocopies), during normal business hours prior written notice, to such Books and Records; provided, that such access shall only be in a manner that is subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions, does not interfere with the normal business operations of the Acquired Companies and is permissible under applicable Law. Each Owner is a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.3(b) and is entitled to enforce the terms hereof.

(c)The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Agreement is intended nor shall it be interpreted to give, permit, or otherwise authorize Buyer or any of its Affiliates or Representatives, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Business or any portion thereof prior to each Closing Date. Prior to such Closing Date, the Seller Group, Landcar Management (solely with respect to the First Interim Period), and each Acquired Company, as the case may be, shall retain the exclusive right to exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over the operations of the Business and such Acquired Company.

(d)Primary Leased Dealership Property.

(i)Due Diligence. Subject to the limitations provided in this Section 6.3(d), during the First Interim Period, Buyer may conduct due diligence and investigations of each Primary Leased Dealership Property which Buyer deems necessary or required for Buyer to reasonably determine if a Material Environmental Condition (as defined below) or any Material Property Condition (as defined below) exists at such Primary Leased Dealership Property, including any Phase I environmental assessments, and property/building condition assessments or reports (collectively, the “Due Diligence”); provided, however,

-59-

the Parties acknowledge and agree that any Phase II environmental assessments or any other similar assessments in addition to the foregoing that Buyer elects to conduct as part of Due Diligence shall be subject in all respects to Parent’s prior written consent and the terms and conditions of the underlying Lease with respect to such Primary Leased Dealership Property that is the subject of the Due Diligence (which Consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, subject to the terms and conditions of such applicable Lease). Any Consent shall be deemed given by Parent if Parent does not respond to Buyer’s written request within twenty-four (24) hours after the date of such request. Buyer shall have sixty (60) days following the date of this Agreement (the “Objection Period”) to undertake the Due Diligence.

(ii)Material Environmental Condition. In the event any Phase I environmental assessment, or an allowed Phase II environmental assessment, if any, discloses any environmental condition at a Primary Leased Dealership Property during the Objection Period that (1) requires Remediation, the estimated cost of which will be greater than $300,000 (the “Condition Cap”) or (2) the Remediation of which would cause a material disruption to the then-current operations of the Dealership Business conducted thereon (each, a “Material Environmental Condition”), then Buyer shall notify Parent and Landcar Management in writing of each such Material Environmental Condition on or before the expiration of the Objection Period specifying each such Material Environmental Condition, the affected Primary Leased Dealership Property, and the cost estimate associated with such Material Environmental Condition. A Material Environmental Condition shall not exist for any Primary Leased Dealership Property where Buyer obtains a Phase I environmental assessment for such Primary Leased Dealership Property that does not disclose or identify (A) a recognized environmental conditions that requires Remediation in excess of the Condition Cap or (2) a recommendation for further inquiry as to such Remediation.

(iii)Mandatory Environmental Cure. In the event any Phase I environmental assessment, or an allowed Phase II environmental assessment, if any, discloses any environmental condition at a Primary Leased Dealership Property for which the estimated cost of Remediation is less than the Condition Cap (each, a “Mandatory Environmental Cure Item”), Buyer shall notify Parent and Landcar Management in writing of such Mandatory Environmental Cure Item on or before the expiration of the Objection Period specifying each Mandatory Environmental Cure Item, the affected Primary Leased Dealership Property, and the cost estimate associated with such Mandatory Environmental Cure Item and Landcar Management shall cause the applicable New Car Entity to perform the Remediation or otherwise cure such Mandatory Environmental Cure Item prior to the First Closing by expending no more than the Condition Cap per Primary Leased Dealership Property; provided, however, that if the Remediation of the Mandatory Environmental Cure Item cannot reasonably be completed prior to the First Closing, then, at Buyer’s option, such New Car Entity shall be permitted to

-60-

complete such Remediation following the First Closing so long as the Remediation would not cause a material disruption with the then-current operations of the Dealership Business on such Primary Leased Dealership Property. In the event Buyer elects for such New Car Entity to continue to perform such Remediation following the First Closing, Parent shall indemnify Buyer for the costs and expenses incurred by such New Car Entity following such First Closing up to the Condition Cap (less all costs and expenses incurred prior to the First Closing with respect to such Remediation). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that upon its election for such New Car Entity to continue to perform such Remediation following the First Closing, Buyer then (automatically and without further action) waives its rights to deem such New Car Entity an Excluded New Car Entity pursuant to Section 6.3(d)(v).

(iv)Material Property Condition. If any property/building condition assessment or report for a Primary Leased Dealership Property identifies any condition or matter that would (1) materially and adversely affect the then-current operations of the Dealership Business on such Primary Leased Dealership Property, or (2) materially and adversely violate any applicable Laws relating to health and safety for the then-current operations of the Dealership Business on such Primary Leased Dealership Property, and in either case, such New Car Entity is required pursuant to the terms and conditions of the underlying Lease with respect to the Primary Leased Dealership Property to correct or remedy such condition or matter (each, a “Material Property Condition”), Buyer shall notify Parent and Landcar Management in writing of each such Material Property Condition on or before the expiration of the Objection Period specifying each such Material Property Condition, the affected Primary Leased Dealership Property, and the cost estimate associated with such Material Property Condition, and Landcar Management shall cause the applicable New Car Entity to correct or remedy such Material Property Condition prior to the First Closing by expending no more than the Condition Cap per Primary Leased Dealership Property; provided, however, that if the Material Property Condition cannot reasonably be corrected or cured prior to the First Closing, then, at Buyer’s option, such New Car Entity shall be permitted to cure such Material Property Condition following the First Closing so long as the curing of such Material Property Condition would not cause a material disruption with the then-current operations of the Dealership Business on such Primary Leased Dealership Property. In the event Buyer elects for such New Car Entity to continue to cure such Material Property Condition following the First Closing, Parent shall indemnify Buyer for the costs and expenses incurred by such New Car Entity following such First Closing up to the Condition Cap (less all costs and expenses incurred prior to the applicable First Closing with respect to such Material Property Condition). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that upon its election for such New Car Entity to continue to perform such cure following the First Closing, Buyer waive its rights to deem such New Car Entity an Excluded New Car Entity pursuant to Section 6.3(d)(v). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.3(d)(iv) to the contrary, a

-61-

Material Property Condition shall not include any property or building condition that may arise in the future (whether or not during the Objection Period) if a Primary Leased Dealership Property is required to be updated, upgraded or reimaged.

(v)Buyer Options. In the event Buyer provides written notice to Parent and Landcar Management during the Objection Period of any Material Environmental Condition or any Material Property Condition as to a Primary Leased Dealership Property and the applicable New Car Entity is not able to cure such condition in accordance Section 6.3(d)(iii) or Section 6.3(d)(iv), as applicable, then Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, to either (1) waive any such Material Environmental Condition or Material Property Condition which remains uncured, and in such case, such New Car Entity shall not be deemed an Excluded New Car Entity for purposes of this Agreement or (2) elect to exclude the New Car Entity associated with the Dealership Operation of such Primary Leased Dealership Property to which such Material Environmental Condition or Material Property Condition exists and remains uncured prior to the First Closing and such New Car Entity shall be deemed an Excluded New Car Entity and the Primary Leased Dealership Property shall be removed from the Transactions for purposes of this Agreement.

6.4Financing. During the Interim Periods,

(a)Buyer shall use its Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions described in the Financing Commitments as promptly as practicable, including using Commercially Reasonable Efforts to:

(i)maintain in effect the Financing Commitments in accordance with, subject to the terms and subject only to the conditions expressly set forth therein;

(ii)negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions expressly contained in the Financing Commitments;

(iii)satisfy on a timely basis all conditions in the Financing Commitments and the definitive agreements for the Financing that are within its control;

(iv)upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments and all conditions herein to Buyer’s obligation to effect the First Closing (in each case, other than those that can only, or will, be satisfied upon the First Closing), consummate all or any portion the Financing necessary to satisfy its obligations to, among other things, obtain funds sufficient, together with any cash on hand of Buyer and other available funds, to pay the Required Amount when due at or prior to the First Closing and Second Closing, as applicable, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Commitments; and

-62-

(v)at the request of Parent, enforce the obligations of the Financing Sources (and the rights of Buyer) under the Financing Commitment. Buyer shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange and consummate the Financing, including giving Parent prompt notice (which shall be no later than 48 hours after the occurrence of any such event) of any event or change that could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of Buyer to timely consummate the financing or obtain all or any portion of the Financing necessary to fund, together with any cash on hand of Buyer and other available funds, the Required Amount. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall give written notice to Parent promptly (which shall be no later than 48 hours): (1) if at any time the Financing Commitments or any definitive document relating thereto shall have expired or be terminated or rescinded for any reason or Buyer or any of its Representatives become aware of a material breach or material default under, or circumstance that (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach of or material default under, the Financing Commitments or any definitive agreement relating to the Financing by a party thereto; (2) of the receipt, on or prior to the Second Closing Date, of any written notice or other written communication from the Financing Source: (A) with respect to any actual or potential breach, default, event of default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitments or any definitive document related to the Financing, (B) pursuant to which any Financing Source has indicated that it will not perform its obligations to make the Financing and other extensions of credit thereunder when due from time to time at or prior to the Second Closing or (C) with respect to any material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to the Financing Commitments that could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of Buyer to obtain all or any portion of the Financing necessary to fund, together with any cash on hand of Buyer and other available funds, the Required Amount; or (3) Buyer otherwise reasonably determines that Buyer is unlikely to timely receive the Financing.

(b)Buyer shall not agree to any amendment, modification, supplementation, restatement or replacement of, or waiver under, the Financing Commitments in any manner (including by way of a side letter or other binding agreement, arrangement or understanding) without the prior written Consent of Parent, except Buyer may amend, modify, supplement, restate or replace the Financing Commitments, in whole or part, if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement, or replacement (i) does not reduce (and could not reasonably be expected to have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing, together with any cash on hand of Buyer and other available funds, below the Required Amount, (ii) does not impose new or additional conditions, or expand, amend or modify any of the existing conditions, to the consummation of the Financing, (iii) does not (and could not reasonably be expected to) hinder, materially delay or prevent either Closing or any closing under the Real Estate Purchase Agreement or Insurance Purchase Agreement, (iv) does not (and could not reasonably be expected to) make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur in any material respect, and (v) does

-63-

not (and could not reasonably be expected to) adversely impact the ability of any Party to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements with respect thereto. Buyer shall promptly (which shall be no later than 48 hours) deliver to Sellers copies of any such amendment, modification, supplement, or replacement.

(c)In the event that (i) all or any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Commitments (including after giving effect to applicable “market flex” provisions) and (ii) Seller Group or Xxxxxx Real Estate has not failed to deliver the Required Information that is Compliant, Buyer shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing (“Alternative Financing”) from alternative sources in an amount, together with any cash on hand of Buyer and other available funds, sufficient to pay the Required Amount or otherwise replace the unavailable portion of the Financing promptly following the Financing becoming unavailable; provided, however, that in no event shall such Alternative Financing be subject to any new or additional conditions or other contingencies to the receipt or funding of the alternate financing, as compared to the conditions or other contingencies to the receipt or funding of the Financing under the Financing Commitments as in existence as of the date of this Agreement unless approved in writing by Parent (which may be withheld in Parent’s sole discretion) or otherwise have conditions to funding that are less favorable to Buyer than those conditions contained in the Financing Commitments. Buyer shall provide Parent with a copy of commitment letters and fee letters (including a true, correct and complete copy of all “market flex” terms and conditions, but the fee letter may be redacted in a customary manner to remove economic terms, and other customarily redacted provisions set forth therein) for any Alternative Financing for its review prior to the execution thereof and of fully executed copies as promptly as practicable following the execution thereof. In the event that any Alternative Financing is obtained in accordance with this Section 6.4(c), references in this Agreement to the Financing shall be deemed to refer to such Alternative Financing (in lieu of the Financing replaced thereby), and if one or more commitment letters, fee letters or definitive financing agreements are entered into or proposed to be entered into in connection with such Alternative Financing, references in this Agreement to the Financing Commitments and definitive financing agreements in respect of the Financing shall be deemed to refer to such commitment letters, fee letters and definitive financing agreements relating to such Alternative Financing, and all obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Section 6.4(c) shall be applicable thereto to the same extent as Buyer’s obligations with respect to the Financing replaced thereby. Buyer shall promptly (which shall be no later than 48 hours after receipt) provide to Parent copies of all documents relating to the Alternative Financing reasonably requested by the Parent.

(d)Parent hereby Consents to the limited use of all of the Acquired Companies’ logos solely in connection with obtaining the Financing; provided, that such logos shall be used solely in a manner that is not intended or reasonably likely to harm, disparage or otherwise adversely affect the Seller Group, Xxxxxx Real Estate, the Total Care Entities, the Acquired Companies, the Business, the Total Care Business or the Real Estate Business or their reputation or goodwill. Each of Parent, the Total Care Entities and Xxxxxx Real Estate agrees, subject to Section 6.4(a), to and to cause each of the Acquired Companies and their respective subsidiaries to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to provide, and cause their respective Representatives to use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts, all at the sole cost and expense of Buyer (including the fees and expenses of the Advisors of the Seller Group, Xxxxxx Real Estate and the Total Care Entities for services rendered in connection with the Financing), to

-64-

provide such assistance as is reasonably requested by Buyer or its Representatives to arrange the Financing, which such Commercially Reasonable Efforts shall include:

(i)assisting Buyer in its preparation for, and reasonable and customary participation in, the marketing or syndication efforts related to the Financing, including (a) participating in a reasonable number of meetings or calls and due diligence sessions with the Financing Sources, in each case upon reasonable advance notice and at mutually agreeable dates, times and locations and (b) reasonably promptly furnishing due diligence information of the Acquired Companies, Xxxxxx Real Estate and the Total Care Entities, as applicable, that is readily available and reasonably requested by the Financing Sources in connection with any marketing materials relating to the Financing;

(ii)delivery to Buyer and the Financing Sources as promptly as reasonably practicable (and no later than the five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date) of the Debt Financing Deliverables;

(iii)reasonably promptly, furnishing Buyer and the Financing Sources with the Required Information and reasonably cooperating with updating and correcting any Required Information to ensure it remains Compliant;

(iv)requesting and facilitating the cooperation of the independent auditors of the Acquired Companies, the Total Care Entities and Xxxxxx Real Estate with the Financing Sources consistent with their customary practice, including by requesting their participation in a reasonable number of drafting sessions, in each case upon reasonable advance notice and at mutually agreeable dates, times and locations, providing customary “comfort letters” (including the completion of customary procedures necessary to provide, and providing, customary negative assurance comfort with respect to periods following the end of the latest fiscal year or fiscal quarter for which historical financial statements are included in any Financing Document) in form and substance customary for high yield debt securities offerings or common equity securities offerings registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, providing any necessary consents and customary assistance with the due diligence activities of Buyer and the Financing Sources (including by participating in a reasonable number of accounting due diligence sessions), and providing customary consents to the inclusion of audit reports in any relevant marketing materials, registration statements and related government filings;

(v) (A) providing all customary information regarding the Business, the Total Care Business, the Real Estate Business, the Total Care Entities, the Acquired Companies and Xxxxxx Real Estate as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or the Financing Sources and that Buyer and the Financing Sources will use in (1) the syndication documents and materials, including bank information memoranda for the Financing; (2) offering memoranda, prospectuses or other marketing materials related to the Financing (collectively, the “Financing Documents”); and (3) materials for rating agency presentations relating to the Financing and (B) participating (including by making members of senior management, representatives and advisors of the Parent with appropriate seniority and expertise available to participate) in a reasonable number of lender marketing calls and meetings and a reasonable number of due diligence sessions, presentations, and “road shows” with prospective lenders, investors and rating agencies with respect to the Business, the Total Care Business, the Real Estate Business, the Total Care Entities, the Acquired Companies and Xxxxxx Real Estate in connection with the Financing at mutually agreeable dates, times and locations; and

-65-

(vi)executing and delivering (A) customary authorization and representation letters (provided that such authorization and representation letters contain customary exculpation provisions and contain no representations and warranties other than as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter) and (B) as of (but not effective before) the applicable Closing, definitive financing documents to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer, including CFO certificates, solvency certificates, closing certificates, and other customary closing documents, in each case to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer.

(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.4(d), (1) nothing in Section 6.4(d) shall require any such cooperation to the extent that it would (A) require the Seller Group, any Acquired Company, Xxxxxx Real Estate, the Total Care Entities (or any equity owner of the Total Care Entities) or any of their respective Representatives, as applicable, to (w) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, (x) agree to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the First Closing Date or Second Closing Date, as applicable, or incur any Liability or give any indemnities with respect to the First Closing Acquired Companies, the real property sold in connection with the Real Estate Transactions at the First Closing and the Total Care Entities sold at the First Closing, which are effective prior to the First Closing, and with respect to the Second Closing Acquired Companies, the real property sold in connection with the Real Estate Transactions at the Second Closing and the Total Care Entities sold at the Second Closing, which are effective prior to the Second Closing, (y) commit to take any similar action that is not contingent upon the applicable Closing occurring, or (z) adopt or approve resolutions or Consents to authorize the execution of any documents for the Financing other than resolutions or Consents to become effective immediately prior to the applicable Closing or thereafter; (B) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Acquired Companies, the Total Care Entities or Xxxxxx Real Estate or conflict with the other limitations set forth in Section 6.4(a); (C) require the Seller Group, Xxxxxx Real Estate, the Total Care Entities, or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives to disclose information subject to any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege (provided, that such Persons shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to allow the disclosure of such information (or as much of it as reasonably possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney client (or other legal) privilege); (D) cause any condition to the applicable Closing set forth in ARTICLE VII or the applicable closing set forth in either the Real Estate Purchase Agreement or the Insurance Purchase Agreement to not be satisfied; (E) cause any covenant, representation or warranty in this Agreement, the Real Estate Purchase Agreement or the Insurance Purchase Agreement to be breached by Parent, the Seller Group, the Acquired Companies, the Total Care Entities, Xxxxxx Real Estate or any of their respective Affiliates; (F) require the Acquired Companies, Xxxxxx Real Estate or the Total Care Entities to take any action that would conflict with or violate any applicable Organizational Documents of any Acquired Company, Xxxxxx Real Estate or any Total Care Entity or any applicable Law or result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract to which Landcar Management, Xxxxxx Real Estate, any Acquired Company or any Total Care Entity is a party; (G) result in any officer, director, or manager of any Acquired Company, any Total Care Entity or Xxxxxx Real Estate incurring any personal Liability with respect to any matters relating to the Financing; (H) require the Seller Group, Landcar Management, any Acquired Company, any Total Care Entity or Xxxxxx

-66-

Real Estate to enter into any financing or purchase agreement for the Financing (except for any Acquired Company, the real property sold in connection with the Real Estate Transactions or Total Care Entity and only if effective at or after the applicable Closing at which such Acquired Company or Total Care Entity is sold), and (2) no Liability or obligation of any Acquired Company or any Total Care Entity or any of their respective Representatives under any agreement entered into in connection with the Financing shall be effective until the applicable closing date and any Liability under any such agreement shall terminate without Liability to the Seller Group, Landcar Management, any Acquired Company, any Total Care Entity or Xxxxxx Real Estate upon termination of this Agreement; or (I) require Parent, the Seller Group, any of the Acquired Companies or the Total Care Entities, Xxxxxx Real Estate, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives to deliver legal opinions.

(f)Parent may provide Buyer with a written notice indicating that (1) Parent has complied with the covenants set forth in Section 6.4(d) (other than those items that are not capable of being satisfied, or are not required to be satisfied, prior to First Closing) and (2) the Acquired Companies, the Total Care Entities and Xxxxxx Real Estate, as applicable, has each provided the Required Information that is Compliant, which shall be deemed accepted by Buyer unless Buyer shall have objected to such determination in writing within two (2) Business Days from receipt of such notice, which objection shall specifically identify the reasons Buyer believes that Parent has not satisfied its obligations under Section 6.4(d).

(g)Promptly following the termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall, within ten (10) days following written request by Parent, reimburse Parent for all third-party costs incurred by the Seller Group, Landcar Management, any Acquired Company, the Total Care Entities or Xxxxxx Real Estate in connection with such cooperation.

The obligations of Buyer under this Section 6.4(g) shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(h)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the availability nor terms of the Financing or any Alternate Financing are conditions to the obligations of Buyer to consummate the Transactions, the Total Care Transactions or the Real Estate Transactions.

(i)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that the Buyer shall be permitted to disclose to the Financing Sources confidential information regarding the Acquired Companies, the Business, the Total Care Entities, the Total Care Business and the Real Estate Business provided to the Buyer or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 6.4, so long as the Financing Sources agree to customary confidentiality arrangements (it being understood and agreed that confidentiality arrangements containing the confidentiality provisions of the Debt Commitment Letter satisfy such requirement, except that the Seller Group, the equity owners of the Total Care Entities and Xxxxxx

-67-

Real Estate will be express third party beneficiaries under such confidentiality arrangements) and a copy of such confidentiality arrangements are provided to Parent.

(j)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer expressly acknowledges and agrees that the respective obligations of each of Parent, the Total Care Entities, and Xxxxxx Real Estate shall be several and not joint, and the obligations under this Section 6.4 with respect to such Person shall not survive the First Closing.

6.5Efforts to Close; Antitrust Approvals.

(a)Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Parties agrees to use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper and advisable to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the Transactions (including, the satisfaction, but not waiver, of the Closing conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII). Each of Parent and Buyer shall use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain Consents of all Governmental Entities necessary to consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that the Commercially Reasonable Efforts of Parent shall not require any Owner, Landcar Management, any Acquired Company or any of their respective Affiliates to provide financing to Buyer for the consummation of the Transactions.

(b)In connection with, and without limiting anything contained in Section 6.5(a) to the contrary, the Parties shall (i) file as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days of the execution of this Agreement) with the FTC and the Antitrust Division the notification and report form required under the HSR Act (the “HSR Filings”) with respect to the Transactions, and (ii) make, as promptly as practicable, all notifications and other filings required under any other applicable Antitrust Laws (such filings together with the HSR Filings, the “Antitrust Filings”). The Antitrust Filings shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of applicable Law. Each of Parent and Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, on a 50/50 basis, all filing fees required in connection with the Antitrust Filings.

(c)Parent and Buyer shall promptly inform the other Party upon receipt of any communication from the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Entity regarding the Transactions. If Parent or Buyer (or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives) receives a request for additional information or documentary material from any such Governmental Entity that is related to the Transactions, then such Person will endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response to such request. Parent and Buyer agree not to participate, or to permit their Affiliates or Representatives to participate, in any substantive meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions (including the Antitrust Filings) unless such Person first consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate duly represented by its external counsel. Parent and Buyer will advise the other Party promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which Parent or Buyer, as the case may be, proposes to make or enter into with the FTC,

-68-

the Antitrust Division, or any other Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions (including the Antitrust Filings). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Parent and Buyer will, unless otherwise agree in writing, use their respective Commercially Reasonable Efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted with respect to the Transactions under any Antitrust Law.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to the matters covered in this Section 6.5(d), it is agreed that Buyer shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any necessary antitrust or competition clearances; provided, however, that Buyer shall consult in advance with Parent and in good faith take Parent’s views into account regarding the overall strategic direction of obtaining antitrust or competition clearance and consult with Parent prior to taking any material substantive position in any written position, or, to the extent practicable, discussions with any Governmental Entity.

(e)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent necessary in order to obtain the requisite Consent of Governmental Entity, under applicable Antitrust Laws, Buyer shall propose, negotiate, offer to commit and effect (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect), by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, assignment or disposition of such assets or businesses of Buyer and its Affiliates, or effective as of the applicable Closing Date, any Acquired Company sold to Buyer on such Closing Date, or otherwise offer to take or offer to commit to take any action which it is lawfully capable of taking and if the offer is accepted, take or commit to take such action, in each case, as may be required in order to obtain the requisite Consent of any Governmental Entity or to avoid the commencement of any Proceeding by any Governmental Entity to prohibit the Transactions on the basis of the Antitrust Laws, or if already commenced, to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining Order or other Order issued or imposed on the basis of the Antitrust Laws so as to enable the applicable Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event, by no later than the First Outside Date. The Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in or otherwise make any investment in, or by any other manner, any Person or portion thereof, or otherwise acquire or agree to acquire or make any investment in any assets, if the entering into of a definitive agreement relating to or the consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or investment would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any Consent or Order of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the Transactions or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the Transactions, or (iii) materially delay the consummation of the Transactions.

(f)Neither Buyer nor Parent shall extend any waiting period under any applicable Antitrust Laws or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the Transactions, except with the prior written Consent of the other Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer and Parent shall also refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action which would impair or frustrate any Person’s ability to consummate the Transactions.

6.6Intercompany Arrangements; Insider Transactions. On or prior to the applicable Closing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the applicable Acquired Companies) to: (a) terminate, cancel, retire or otherwise extinguish (other than the Management Agreements) (i) those Contracts or oral arrangements between or among any Acquired Companies included in such Closing and any of their Affiliates that are not included in such Closing , and (ii) the Insider Transactions, in each

-69-

case, as set forth on Schedule 6.6, and (b) pay off or otherwise extinguish all intercompany advances, accounts, payables, and receivables between any Acquired Companies included in such Closing, on the one hand, and any Insiders, on the other hand.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with the decision to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Transactions, Buyer, its Affiliates, and each of their respective Representatives have inspected and conducted an independent review, investigation and analysis (financial, tax, legal and otherwise) of the Acquired Companies and their respective Businesses. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except for the specific representations and warranties expressly made in ARTICLE III (in each case, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules) and ARTICLE IV, none of the Seller Group, Landcar Management, the Acquired Companies, the Banker, any Nonparty Affiliates (as defined below), or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives has made, is making, or shall be deemed to have been made, and Buyer, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives have not relied, are not relying and will not rely on, any representation or warranty, express or implied, at law or in equity, or any omission of a material fact, with respect to (a) any Acquired Company, (b) their respective Businesses, assets, Liabilities, operations, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise), (c) the Transactions, (d) the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding any of the foregoing, including any confidential information memorandum, management presentation, projections, budgets or any other information, document or material made available to Buyer, its Affiliates, or any of their respective Representatives in the Data Room, confidential information memorandums, management presentations, or any in any other form, or (e) any other matter whatsoever related to the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to any estimate, projection, forecast or other forward looking statement delivered by or on behalf of the Seller Group, Landcar Management, or any of the Acquired Companies to Buyer, any of its Affiliates, and/or any of their respective Representatives, (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and forward looking statements, (ii) Buyer is aware that actual results may differ materially, and (iii) no Person shall have any claim against the Seller Group, Landcar Management, any Acquired Company, any Nonparty Affiliate or any other Person with respect to any such estimate, projection, forecast or forward looking statement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the terms of the representations and warranties made in ARTICLE III, following the First Closing, Parent shall not be deemed to make any representations or warranties of any kind in respect of the First Closing Acquired Companies or the operation or conduct of their respective Businesses following the First Closing.

No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Closing Date, Buyer shall furnish to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that all such replacement Floor Plan Financing arrangements for the Floor Plan Financing of each applicable New Car Entity included in such Closing will be in effect as of immediately following such Closing.

-70-

6.9Non-Disparagement. Each Party agrees that it shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, make negative comments about or otherwise disparage such other Party or any of such Party’s officers, directors, managers, employees, shareholders, partners, beneficial owners, Controlling persons, members, agents or products, in each case, as it relates to the other Parties’ respective business. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.9 will not restrict or impede any Party or any of such Person’s Affiliates from (a) exercising its protected legal rights, (b) from taking actions to enforce any rights of such Person under any Contract, agreement, or applicable Law, or (c) providing truthful statements in response to any Governmental Entity, rulemaking authority, subpoena power, legal process, required governmental testimony or filings, or judicial, administrative or arbitral proceedings (including, depositions in connection with such proceedings).

6.10Employee Matters.

(a)For a period commencing on the applicable Closing and ending on the one (1)-year anniversary of the applicable Closing Date (or until the termination of the relevant Business Employee if sooner), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Acquired Companies to, provide any Business Employee on the applicable Closing Date with (i) a base salary or wage rate that is no less than the base salary or wage rate as in effect with respect to such Business Employee immediately prior to the applicable Closing, and (ii) employee benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than those provided to such Business Employees under the Benefit Plans immediately prior to applicable Closing (excluding severance benefits, any long-term incentive awards, nonqualified deferred compensation plans or college tuition-related programs). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be responsible for severance payable (if any) for the termination of any Business Employee on the applicable Closing Date or thereafter. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 6.10 or as may be specifically required by this Agreement or by applicable Law, Buyer shall not be obligated to continue to provide any particular type of employee benefits or compensation to any Business Employee. For purposes of this Section 6.10, the applicable Closing Date for any Business Employee shall be the applicable Closing Date on which the Acquired Company by whom such Business Employee is then employed is sold to Buyer. With respect to each Benefit Plan that is not an Acquired Company Plan, Parent will retain all responsibility, obligations and liability with respect to, or in any way related to, such Benefit Plan, and Buyer will not, and, from and after the applicable Closing, the Acquired Companies will not, have any responsibility, obligations or liability with respect to, or in any way related to, such Benefit Plan.

(b)For the purpose of determining eligibility, vesting, and level of benefits for any Business Employee under any employee benefit plans, programs, or arrangements (including vacation and severance) maintained by Buyer or the Acquired Companies providing benefits to the Business Employees after the applicable Closing Date, Buyer or the Acquired Companies shall provide each Business Employee with service credit to the same extent and for the same purposes as such Business Employee received service credit under any analogous Benefit Plan for all periods of employment with any Acquired Company prior to the applicable Closing Date (including with any predecessor employers where such service was recognized by any Acquired Company), other than for purposes of benefit accrual defined benefit pension plans

-71-

or vesting under any equity incentive plan, unless recognition of such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall, during the plan year in which the applicable Closing occurs, make commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause each Business Employee to be eligible to participate, without any waiting period or gap in coverage, in any welfare benefit plans of Buyer or its Affiliates (to the extent the existing corresponding Benefit Plans are terminated as of the applicable Closing) providing benefits to any Business Employee on or after the applicable Closing Date (the “Buyer Health and Welfare Plans”), (ii) cause such Buyer Health and Welfare Plans to waive all preexisting condition exclusions, eligibility waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements, and requirements to show evidence of good health with respect to participation and coverage requirements for each Business Employee and their covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived or satisfied under the comparable Benefit Plan in which such Business Employee participated immediately prior to the applicable Closing Date, and (iii) cause any eligible expenses paid by such Business Employee and their covered dependents under a comparable Benefit Plan during the plan year in which the applicable Closing Date occurs and ending on the date the Business Employee begins participating in such Buyer Health and Welfare Plans to be taken into account under such Buyer Health and Welfare Plans that constitute group health plans for purposes of satisfying all deductibles, coinsurance payments, co-payments and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Business Employee and their covered dependents for the applicable plan year.

(c)Buyer shall take all steps necessary to permit each Business Employee who receives an eligible rollover distribution (as defined in Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) from a Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code to roll over such eligible rollover distribution (including any associated participant loan) into an account under a plan of Buyer or its Affiliate that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(k) of the Code.

(d)Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall cause, or cause its applicable Affiliates to, terminate the plans and arrangements set forth on Schedule 6.10(d) (the “Terminating NQ Plans”) in a manner compliant with Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Parent shall provide drafts of all material documents effectuating such terminations and distribution of benefits of the Terminating NQ Plans to Buyer for its review, and Parent shall consider any reasonable comments provided by Buyer. Parent will retain all Liabilities and shall indemnify Buyer and the Acquired Companies with respect to the amounts owed under the Terminating NQ Plans and any other Liabilities that arise with respect to the Terminating NQ Plans.

(e)Except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Section 6.10 shall (i) confer any rights, remedies or claims (including third-party beneficiary rights) upon any Business Employee or any other Person, (ii) be considered or deemed an establishment or amendment or termination of any Benefit Plan, any Buyer Health and Welfare Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, policy or arrangement, (iii) guarantee continued employment or service or any particular term or condition of employment or service for any Person or limit the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies after the applicable Closing) to terminate the employment or service of any Person at any time and for any or no reason, or (iv) limit the ability of Buyer or any of its Affiliates

-72-

(including the Acquired Companies after the applicable Closing) to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement after the applicable Closing.

6.11 Directors, Managers and Officers Indemnification.

(a)On or prior to the First Closing Date, Parent shall obtain, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, a non-cancelable run-off insurance policy for directors’ and officers’ liability with respect to the First Closing Acquired Companies, for a period of six (6) years after the First Closing Date to provide insurance coverage for events, acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the First Closing Date, including in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, for all persons who were directors, managers or officers of the First Closing Acquired Companies on or prior to the First Closing Date (the “Tail Policy”). On or prior to the Second Closing Date, Parent shall obtain, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Tail Policy with respect to the Second Closing Acquired Companies, for a period of six (6) years after the Second Closing Date to provide insurance coverage for events, acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Second Closing Date, including in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, for all persons who were directors, managers or officers of the Second Closing Acquired Companies on or prior to the Second Closing Date. Except for the foregoing endorsement, Parent shall not take any action to cancel or amend the Tail Policy following the First Closing.

(b)Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification or exculpation now existing in favor of the directors, managers, and officers, as the case may be, of any Acquired Company acquired by Buyer at either Closing, as provided in each Acquired Company’s Organizational Documents, shall survive the applicable Closing and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six (6) years following the applicable Closing Date and that such Acquired Company will perform and discharge its obligations to provide such indemnity and exculpation after the applicable Closing; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification and exculpation in respect of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Second Closing Date and asserted or made within such six (6)-year period shall continue until the final disposition of such Proceeding. From and after the applicable Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including, following the applicable Closing, the Acquired Companies) not to, amend, repeal or otherwise modify the indemnification provisions of any such Acquired Company’s Organizational Documents as in effect at the applicable Closing in any manner that would affect the rights thereunder of individuals who at the applicable Closing were directors, managers, officers, or agents of such Acquired Company.

(c)Buyer, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates (including, following the applicable Closing, the Acquired Companies), successors, and permitted assigns, shall not institute any Proceeding in any Governmental Entity or before any other tribunal against any of directors, managers, officers of any Acquired Company as of immediately prior to the applicable Closing at which such Acquired Company is acquired by Buyer pursuant hereto, in their capacity as such, with respect to any Liabilities to the extent resulting from their approval of this Agreement or the Transactions.

(d)In the event Buyer, any Acquired Company acquired by Buyer pursuant hereto, or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns (i) consolidates with or merges

-73-

into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in either such case, Buyer, any such Acquired Company, or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns shall make proper provision so that the successors and assigns of such Person, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

(e)The provisions of this Section 6.11 shall survive the applicable Closing and continue for six (6) years thereafter. This Section 6.11 is intended to benefit the directors, managers and officers of the Acquired Companies acquired by Buyer pursuant hereto and any other Person (and each of their respective heirs, successors, and permitted assigns) referenced in this Section 6.11 or indemnified hereunder, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.11 (whether or not a Party to this Agreement). All of the Persons referenced in the immediately preceding sentence are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.11.

6.12Public Announcements. Except as contemplated in this Agreement during the Interim Periods, neither Party shall, nor shall any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives, without the written approval of the other Party, issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions, except as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or stock market, in which case any Party so required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other Parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; provided, that each of the Parties may make internal announcements to their respective employees regarding the Transactions.

6.13Further Assurances. The Parties will from time to time after the First Closing, upon the reasonable request of the other Party, and at its own expense, deliver or cause to be delivered to the designated Party such further documents and other instruments necessary or desirable (but excluding any additional representations or warranties) to effect, preserve, maintain or document the Transactions, in the manner and on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

6.14Employee Census. Upon reasonable request by Buyer and no earlier than five (5) Business Days prior to each anticipated Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to Buyer a census of the Business Employees as of the date of such request with respect to the categories of information described in Section 3.16(a).

6.15Listed IP; Xxxxxx Marks. Schedule 6.15 sets forth a list of each Acquired Company and the Listed IP that contains the name and xxxx XXXXX X XXXXXX or XXXXX XXXXXX, the signature of Xx. Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx and/or the stylized “L” logo that each identified Acquired Company owns or uses in the operation of its Dealership Business, and which shall be retained by such Acquired Company following the applicable Closing and not otherwise licensed to such Acquired Company pursuant to the License Agreement (collectively, the “Xxxxxx Marks”). Following the applicable Closing, Buyer agrees that the use of any Xxxxxx Xxxx by such Acquired Company shall be subject to Section 3 of the License Agreement (Limitations Of Use), as applicable, and Section 6 of the License Agreement (Morals) notwithstanding the expiration or termination of the License Agreement, except that with respect to Section 3(a) of the License Agreement, “Licensed Goods and Services” in that Section shall mean the applicable goods and services described in the applications and registrations set forth on Schedule 6.15, and if no goods and services are set forth for a Xxxxxx Xxxx, then “Licensed Goods and Services” shall mean all goods and services within Automotive Operations (as defined in the License Agreement). If

-74-

Buyer or an Acquired Company (or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the applicable Xxxxxx Xxxx of a specific Acquired Company) materially breaches any of its obligations under Section 3 or Section 6 of the License Agreement, and the breaching party fails to cure said breach (if, with respect to a material breach under Section 6 of the License Agreement, such breach is curable to LHM Management’s satisfaction, in its sole discretion) within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notification thereof from Parent or LHM Management, then such Acquired Company shall cease use of such Xxxxxx Xxxx within the relevant wind-down period set forth in Section 8 (Rights and Obligations of the Parties Upon Termination or Reversion of Rights) of the License Agreement and then no later than the expiration of such wind-down period Buyer shall file, or cause such Acquired Company to file, a notice of abandonment or termination of the relevant Xxxxxx Xxxx with the applicable Governmental Entity and provide evidence of the same to Parent. Furthermore, if Buyer or an Acquired Company (or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the applicable Xxxxxx Xxxx of a specific Acquired Company) are subject to a Change of Control, then such Acquired Company shall cease use of such Xxxxxx Xxxx within the relevant wind-down period set forth in Section 8 of the License Agreement and Buyer shall also file, or cause such Acquired Company to file, a notice of abandonment or termination of the relevant Xxxxxx Xxxx with the applicable Governmental Entity and provide evidence of the same to Parent. The Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to, execute such further documentation and perform such further actions, including the recordation of such documentation with appropriate authorities, as may be reasonably requested by such Party, to evidence or give effect to this Section 6.15 or to enforce the terms of this Section 6.15, including the loss, forfeiture, or termination of any Xxxxxx Marks for which the ownership and right to use any such Xxxxxx Xxxx is lost, forfeited, or terminated pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.15. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the rights granted under this Section 6.15 are personal in nature to each Acquired Company and none of the rights, interests or obligations under Section 6.15 may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by Buyer, any Acquired Company, or any of their respective Affiliates without Parent’s or LHM Management’s written Consent (such consent may be withheld in such Person’s sole discretion), and any such assignment or delegation without such prior written Consent shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect. LHM Management is intended to be a third party beneficiary of this Section 6.15.

6.16Tax Matters.

(a)Allocation of Straddle Period Tax Liability; Other Tax Covenants. For all purposes under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the preparation of any Tax Return and the determination of Pre-Closing Taxes) the following provisions shall apply:

(i)With respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of Taxes (or any Tax refund and amount credited against any Tax) that is allocable to the portion of the Pre-Closing Tax Period ending on the applicable Closing Date shall be: (x) in the case of property taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis without regard to income, gross receipts or sales, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes (or Tax refund or amount credited against Tax) for such entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending at the close of the applicable Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in such entire Straddle Period, and (y) in the case of all other Taxes, determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the applicable Closing Date as though the taxable period ended at the close of the applicable Closing Date.

(ii)To the extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all Transaction Deductions shall be treated for Income Tax purposes as having been incurred by the

-75-

Acquired Companies, and reflected as a deduction on the Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for the taxable period or portion thereof ending on the applicable Closing Date.

(iii)Except as otherwise specifically contemplated by this Agreement, any transactions (and any Taxes resulting from such transactions) outside Ordinary Course taken by the Acquired Companies on the applicable Closing Date but after the applicable Closing shall be treated as occurring on the day after the applicable Closing Date.

(iv)Within forty-five (45) days after the date hereof, Parent shall submit or shall cause to be submitted to Buyer for its review and reasonable comments a draft of a complete set of form reorganization documents (including draft tax elections) for one Acquired Company which is currently treated as an “S” corporation for income tax purposes (the “Form F Reorganization Documents”), which Form F Reorganization Documents shall be consistent with the Reorganization Step Plan. To the extent Buyer has any comments to the Form F Reorganization Documents, Buyer shall provide such comments to Parent in writing within ten (10) days thereafter and Parent shall reflect any reasonable comments provided by Buyer in the final Form F Reorganization Documents.

(v)At least five (5) Business Days prior to closing of the transactions contemplated by either Reorganization, Parent shall submit to Buyer (and its counsel) for Buyer’s review and reasonable comments all documents (including Tax elections to be filed with the applicable Tax authorities) effectuating the Reorganizations. To the extent Buyer has any comments to any such draft documents provided to Buyer, Buyer shall notify Parent in writing within two (2) Business Days after it receives drafts of such documents and Parent shall cause any such reasonable comments to be incorporated in such document prior to the completion of the Reorganizations.

(b)Tax Refunds. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following the applicable Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies), and any amounts credited against any Tax in a Post-Closing Tax Period to which Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, following each Closing, for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) become entitled, in each case that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the applicable Closing Date) shall be for the account of Parent, and Buyer shall pay to Parent, any such refund or the amount of any such credit within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto. At Parent’s written request and expense, Buyer shall timely and properly prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, any claim for refund, amended Tax Return, or other Tax Return required to obtain any available Tax refunds from any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(c)Post-Closing Actions. Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the applicable Closing for the avoidance of doubt, the Acquired Companies) to, (i) except upon Parent’s written request or as requested by Buyer and with

-76-

Parent’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed, file, re-file, supplement, or amend any Tax Return of any Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and (ii) make any Tax election for any Acquired Company with an effective date before the applicable Closing Date. Without Parent’s prior written consent (which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion), Buyer shall not, and shall not allow any of the Acquired Companies to, voluntarily approach any taxing authority regarding any Taxes or Tax Returns of any Acquired Company that were originally due before the applicable Closing Date.

(d)Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes arising out of or in connection with the Transactions (other than the Reorganizations) shall be equally borne by Parent, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand. All Transfer Taxes arising out of or in connection with the Reorganizations shall be borne by the Parent. Parent and Buyer shall fully cooperate regarding the filing of all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(e)Preparation of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(i)Parent shall, at Parent’s expense, prepare (or cause to be prepared) and timely file all U.S. federal, state and local Income Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies with respect to any Tax period ending on or before the applicable Closing Date that are required to be filed with any Governmental Entity or taxing authority after such Closing Date (“Parent Prepared Tax Returns”). All such Parent Prepared Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice of the Acquired Companies, unless otherwise required by Law, and if applicable, in accordance with the covenants in Section 6.16(a). All such Parent Prepared Tax Returns shall be delivered to Buyer for review and comment as soon as available in reviewable format but in no event later than forty-five (45) days prior to their applicable due date (including extensions) of such Parent Prepared Tax Returns. Parent shall incorporate into such Tax Returns prior to filing any reasonable comments provided by Buyer within thirty (30) days after Buyer receives drafts of such Tax Returns. For the avoidance of any doubt, as part of its review rights of Parent Prepared Tax Returns of any Acquired Company pursuant to this Section 6.16(e)(i), Buyer shall be entitled to provide reasonable comments, to the Tax reporting of the Reorganizations on any such Parent Prepared Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies. Parent shall incorporate such comments provided by Buyer into such Parent Prepared Tax Returns.

(ii)Buyer shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and timely file all Tax Returns that (x) are required to be filed by or with respect to the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period other than any Parent Prepared Tax Returns, or (y) are for Straddle Periods of any Acquired Company (“Buyer Prepared Tax Returns”) and shall pay (or cause to be paid) any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. All such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns shall be prepared if applicable, in accordance with the covenants in Section 6.16(a). All such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns shall be delivered to Parent for review and comment as soon as available in reviewable format but in no event later than thirty (30) days, with respect to Income Taxes, and ten (10) days, with respect to

-77-

non-Income Taxes, prior to their applicable due date (including extensions) of such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns. Buyer shall incorporate into such Tax Returns prior to filing any reasonable comments provided by Parent in writing within fifteen (15) days, with respect to Income Taxes, and five (5) days, with respect to non-Income Taxes, after Parent receives drafts of such Tax Returns. To the extent Taxes due with such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns reflect any Pre-Closing Taxes, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to Buyer, on behalf of the Owners, the amount of such Pre-Closing Taxes no later than five (5) days subsequent to the filing date of such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns (or the date of payment of such Pre-Closing Taxes due with such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns if such payment date is later than the filing date of such Buyer Prepared Tax Returns).

(f)Tax Treatment; Allocation. The Parties agree that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the sale of the Purchased Equity Interests by Parent and the purchase of the Purchased Equity Interests by Buyer shall be treated as the sale by Parent and the purchase by Buyer of all the assets of each Acquired Company. The Parties further agree that the Final Purchase Price as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be allocated among the assets of the Acquired Companies as set out on Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Allocation Guidelines”) which Allocation Guidelines are intended to be consistent with Code Section 1060. Buyer shall prepare a draft of the Purchase Price allocation (the “Allocation”) within sixty (60) days after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 2.6, which Allocation shall be consistent with the Allocation Guidelines, and shall deliver such draft Allocation to Parent for review and comment. In the event of any dispute between Parent and Buyer with respect to such Allocation, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if the Parties are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation within thirty (30) days after Parent provides notice to Buyer regarding Parent’s objection, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedure for protests under Section 2.6, mutatis mutandis; provided, that in resolving such dispute, the Accountant shall apply the Allocation Guidelines. The Allocation shall be updated based on the determination of the Final Purchase Price and shall take into account all amounts treated as adjustments to the Final Purchase Price, subject to the foregoing procedures with respect to preparation, review and dispute resolution. The Parties shall prepare and file all Income Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith in the course of any audit, examination, or proceeding with respect to Taxes, unless otherwise required by a final “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code). In the event that any of the allocations set forth in the Allocation are disputed by any Governmental Entity or taxing authority, the Party receiving notice of such dispute shall (i) promptly notify and consult with the other Party concerning the resolution of such dispute and (ii) use reasonable commercial efforts to contest such dispute in a manner consistent with the Allocation.

(g)Indemnity for Pre-Closing Taxes.

(i)Indemnification. Parent shall indemnify each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties for (A) all Pre-Closing Taxes and (B) any and all Losses that any Buyer Indemnified Party incurs, or otherwise becomes subject to resulting from Pre-Closing Taxes. Following final determination of a Tax Contest, the

-78-

Parties agree that Buyer shall be entitled to recover, at Buyer’s election, either directly from Parent or the Indemnity Escrow Amount (if any), and that such payment shall be made not later ten than (10) days after demand for payment is presented by Buyer. For purposes of the preceding sentence with respect to a Tax Contest as defined herein, a “final determination” shall mean (i) the issuance of a final assessment, notice of deficiency or similar action by the applicable Taxing authority in the case of a Tax audit, examination or other administrative proceeding related to Pre-Closing Taxes, and (ii) the issuance of a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to a judicial proceeding related to Pre-Closing Taxes, in each case with respect to any Pre-Closing Taxes for which Buyer would reasonably be expected to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.16(g)(i). For purposes of the preceding two sentences with respect to Pre-Closing Taxes or related Losses that are not, or that do not involve, a Tax Contest, “final determination” shall mean the payment of Pre-Closing Taxes by Buyer or its Affiliates (including, after the applicable Closing, an Acquired Company) for which Buyer would reasonably be expected to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.16(g)(i). In the event of a disagreement between the Parties with respect to a claim for indemnification under this Section 6.16(g), the conflict resolution procedures of Section 2.6 shall apply. For avoidance of doubt, (x) representations, covenants and Buyer’s right to present claims for indemnification with respect to such representations and covenants under this Section 6.16(g)(i) with respect to such items shall survive beyond the applicable Closing as provided in Section 8.1, and (y) none of the limitations provided in ARTICLE VIII shall apply with respect to Tax claims under this Section 6.16(g)(i).

(ii)Collateral Sources. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Section 6.16(g) shall be net of any amounts recovered by a Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss (1) from any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received as an offset against such Loss and (2) the amount of any Tax benefit attributable to such Loss that is actually realized by the Buyer Indemnified Party in or with respect to the taxable period in which such Loss is incurred, accrues or comes to the knowledge of Buyer. The Parties shall use and shall cause their Affiliates (including with respect to Buyer following the applicable Closing, the Acquired Companies) to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto.

(iii)Treatment of Payments. The payment of any amounts pursuant to this Section 6.16(g) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

(h)Tax Contests. Buyer shall deliver a written notice (a “Tax Contest Notice”) to Parent promptly following the occurrence of any demand, claim, or notice of commencement of a claim, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court proceeding with respect to any Pre-Closing Taxes for which Buyer would reasonably be expected to be entitled to

-79-

indemnification pursuant to Section 6.16(g)(i) or which could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the Tax liability of the Seller Group for any Period (“Tax Contest”). Any written notice of a Tax Contest shall describe the nature of the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof. Parent must, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the claim for indemnification, notify Buyer in writing as to whether Parent admits or disputes the claim described by Buyer. If Parent gives written notice that it agrees with the indemnification claim, then Buyer shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.16(g)(i).

(i)Subject to Section 6.16(h)(ii), Buyer shall control any Tax Contest; provided, however, Parent, at its sole cost and expense, shall (x) have the right to control any Tax Contest to the extent it relates to Income Taxes of any Acquired Company with respect to any period ending on or before the applicable Closing Date, and (y) have the right to participate in any other Tax Contest.

(a)Following the applicable Closing, subject to the terms of this ARTICLE VIII, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates (excluding the Acquired Companies purchased by Buyer pursuant hereto) and their respective successors, permitted assigns, equityholders, officers, directors, employees, Representatives, members, partners and agents (collectively, the “Parent Indemnified Parties” and, together with the Buyer Indemnified Parties, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses incurred or suffered by any Parent Indemnified Party arising out of, relating to or resulting from (i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in ARTICLE V of this Agreement as of the date such representation or warranty was made and as if such representation or warranty was made at and as of the Closing (except for any such representations or warranties that speak as of a specific date, the breach of which shall be determined as of such specified date) or (ii) any breach of any of the covenants or agreements of Buyer in this Agreement.

(b)The obligation of Buyer to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties for Losses with respect to the matters contained in Section 8.3(a)(i) (other than with respect to Fundamental Representations) is subject to the following limitations: (i) Buyer shall not be required to provide indemnification to any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i), unless the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by Seller Indemnified Parties from the matters contained in Section 8.3(a)(i) exceeds the Aggregate Deductible, and then Seller Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for only the amount in excess of the Aggregate Deductible; and (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of Losses for which Buyer is obligated to indemnify Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 8.3(a)(i) exceed the Aggregate Cap. In addition to the foregoing limitations, with respect to a claim for indemnification under Section 8.3(a)(i) (solely with respect to Fundamental Representations) or

-91-

Section 8.3(a)(ii), (x) neither the Aggregate Deductible nor the Aggregate Cap shall apply to such claim and (y) Buyer shall not be required to provide indemnification to any Parent Indemnified Party, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of the Final Purchase Price.

8.4Additional Limitations.

(a)With respect to indemnification claims made under Section 8.2(a)(i) or Section 8.3(a)(i), for purposes of determining breach and calculating the amount of any Losses attributable to any such breach, inaccuracy or noncompliance, all references to “material,” “materiality,” “material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect,” “Acquired Companies MAE,” “Buyer MAE” and similar qualifications shall be disregarded; provided, however, (i) the defined terms of “Acquired Companies MAE” (when used in Section 3.7), Material Customers and Material Suppliers, and (ii) the word “material” and similar qualifications when used in Sections 3.5(c), 3.8, 3.11(a), and 3.15(a) in each case, will not be disregarded as otherwise provided by this Section 8.4(a).

(b)

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover against any Seller under Section 8.2, (1) with respect to any Losses for punitive, or exemplary damages, except in the case of an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify a Buyer Indemnified Party for amounts paid to a third party where such amounts are awarded in connection with a Third Party Claim (or settlement thereof) or (2) if the matter was expressly taken into account in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Seller Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover against Buyer under Section 8.3, with respect to any Losses for punitive, or exemplary damages, except in the case of an Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify a Seller Indemnified Party for amounts paid to a third party where such amounts are awarded in connection with a Third Party Claim (or settlement thereof).

(c)The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE VIII shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Loss (i) pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party, (ii) from any insurance proceeds received in respect of such Loss, and (iii) the amount of any Tax benefit attributable to such Loss and used by the Indemnified Party to reduce its Tax liability in the year the Indemnified Party realizes the Loss. The Parties shall use and shall cause their Affiliates to use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to (or simultaneous with) seeking indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) (other than with respect to any Fundamental Representations), each Buyer Indemnified Party shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to

-92-

make a claim and obtain recovery (which shall not include, for the avoidance of doubt, initiating (or threatening to initiate) a Proceeding) under all insurance policies covering any such Losses. If the amount to be netted hereunder from any payment required under this ARTICLE VIII is determined after payment by the Indemnifying Party of any amount otherwise required to be paid to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnified Party shall repay to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such determination, any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII had such determination been made at the time of such payment (but after taking into account any Taxes, fees, costs or expenses incurred in connection with recovering any such amounts (including any increases in insurance premiums resulting therefrom), it being understood that all fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in mitigating damages or otherwise recovering any Losses shall be deemed Losses hereunder).

8.5Procedures Relating to Indemnification.

(a)An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the party or parties obligated to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the Indemnified Party first becomes aware of any event or other facts (including any Third Party Claim) that has resulted or that might result in any Loss for which the Indemnified Party is entitled to any indemnification under Section 8.2 and Section 8.3, subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VIII (such claim, an “Indemnification Claim”); provided, that failure to give such notification shall not affect such Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this ARTICLE VIII except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure.

(b)After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the Indemnifying Party shall respond within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt thereof (the “Claim Response”). Any Claim Response must specify whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the Indemnification Claim described in the Claim Notice and the basis of such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 20 Business Days following its receipt of such Claim Notice that such Indemnifying Party disputes its Liability to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VIII, such Indemnification Claim specified in the Claim Notice shall be deemed disputed by the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VIII.

(c)If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim through the delivery of a Claim Response or otherwise has not timely delivered a Claim Response, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in good faith a resolution of such dispute and, if not timely resolved through negotiations within twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the twenty (20) Business Day response period, such dispute shall be resolved in a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 9.7.

(d)Any amounts payable by Parent or Buyer to the Indemnified Party as so finally determined shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after such final determination.

-93-

8.6Notice and Opportunity to Defend. If there occurs an indemnifiable event which involves any claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third Person, including any Governmental Entity (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party will give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim or the commencement thereof. The failure to provide prompt notice as provided herein will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder only if, and to the extent that, such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party hereunder. In the event that a Third Party Claim is brought against an Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof pursuant to this Section 8.6, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Indemnified Party) if (a) the Third Party Claim relates primarily to any criminal Proceeding, indictment, allegation or investigation, (b) the Third Party Claim primarily seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (c) the Losses relating to the Third Party Claim are reasonably likely to exceed the maximum amount that the Indemnified Party would then be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party under the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (d) the Indemnifying Party is also a party or has an interest in such claim, which interest conflicts with the interests of the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of such election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party hereunder for any legal costs or expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except as otherwise provided in this ARTICLE VIII. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party agree to cooperate fully with each other and their respective counsel in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim as contemplated hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of an action, no settlement or compromise thereof may be effected (i) by the Indemnifying Party without the written consent of the Indemnified Party unless (A) the settlement seeks only monetary relief and all such relief provided is paid or satisfied in full by the Indemnifying Party, (B) the settlement or compromise provides for a full release by the party of the Indemnified Party with respect to the claim(s) being settled and (C) the settlement or compromise does not contain any admission of finding or wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnified Party or (ii) by the Indemnified Party without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume or is not permitted to assume the defense of an action, no settlement or compromise thereof may be effected without the Indemnifying Parties consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

8.7Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Pre-Closing Taxes (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.17 or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform an covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Section 6.16, or a Tax Contest) shall be governed exclusively by Sections 6.16(g) and 6.16(h), respectively.

-94-

8.8Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

8.9Disbursement of Indemnity Escrow Amount. On the first (1st) Business Day following the one (1) year anniversary of each applicable Closing Date, Buyer and Parent shall promptly, but in any event within three (3) Business Days after such date, jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse to Parent the remaining portion of the Indemnity Escrow Amount (net of any unresolved and/or unpaid indemnifiable claims received by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of this ARTICLE VIII) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Parent.

8.10Exclusive Remedy. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, except in connection with (a) disputes under Section 2.6 with respect to the Post-Closing Statement and determination of the Final Purchase Price (which shall be governed exclusively by Section 2.6), (b) Pre-Closing Taxes (which shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.16), (c) claims for equitable relief (including Section 9.13) or Fraud, (d) enforcement of rights and remedies of any Party under the License Agreement or Escrow Agreement or (e) disputes which relate to a dispute with a Manufacturer which shall be governed exclusively by Section 6.1(d), (i) the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VIII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parties following each Closing for any inaccuracy or misrepresentation of any representations or warranties with respect to the Acquired Companies related to such Closing and any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of the Parties arising out of or in connection with the Transactions, and (ii) subject to the foregoing (including clause (i)), the Parties waive, from and after the applicable Closing, any and all remedies (whether for rescission, breach of contract, tort or any other theory of liability) that one Party may have against the other relating to the provisions of this Agreement or the applicable Transactions.

9.2Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Disclosure Schedules and the Exhibits hereto), the Ancillary Documents, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the sole and entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

-96-

9.3Amendments 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 the Parties, 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 the foregoing, none of Sections 7.10(c), 9.5, 9.6 (solely with respect to the second sentence), 9.7(b), 9.7(c), 9.13 (solely with respect to the second sentence), 9.15(b) and this Section 9.3 (and any provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, modification, waiver, supplement or termination of such provision would modify the substance of any of such Sections) may be amended, amended and restated, waived, supplemented, terminated or otherwise modified in any manner that impacts or is adverse to any Financing Sources without the written consent of such Financing Sources.

9.4Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activity, or subject, each such provision shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable Law then in force.

9.5No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Sections 6.3(b), 6.7, 6.11, 6.15, 9.14, and 9.15, which are intended to benefit and may also be enforced directly by Katten and the Nonparty Affiliates, and Sections 7.10(c), 9.3, 9.6 (solely with respect to the second sentence), 9.7(b), 9.7(c), 9.13 (solely with respect to the second sentence), 9.15(b), and this Section 9.5, which are intended to benefit and may be relied upon by the Financing Sources (with respect to themselves or the Financing Source Parties, as the case may be), as applicable, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer upon any Person (other than the Parties) any rights or remedies hereunder.

9.6Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any Party without the prior written Consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such prior written Consent shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Buyer may, without consent of Parent (a) collaterally assign its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to the Financing Sources and (b) following the Second Closing, assign this Agreement to any Affiliate; provided, that no such assignment shall release or relieve Buyer from any of Buyer’s obligations or liabilities hereunder, whether arising prior to or after the date of such assignment. Any permitted assignment shall provide that the assigning Party shall continue to be bound by all obligations hereunder as if such assignment had not occurred and perform such obligations to the extent that

-97-

its permitted assignee fails to do so. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

9.7Governing Law; Forum; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

(b)In addition, (i) each of the Parties irrevocably (A) submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such dispute, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such dispute, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County, in the event any dispute (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arises out of this Agreement or the Transactions, (B) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (C) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in such court, (D) waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transactions brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (E) agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the Delaware Court of Chancery in and for New Castle County, or in the event (but only in the event) that such Delaware Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, or in the event (but only in the event) that such United States District Court also does not have jurisdiction over such Proceeding, any Delaware State court sitting in New Castle County. Each Party agrees that (i) service of process upon such Party in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 9.1 and (ii) notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, such Party (A) will not bring or support any Proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source Party in any way relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Commitment Letter or any other letter or agreement relating to the Financing (including any fee letters or engagement letters related thereto), the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, (B) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (C) agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at its address provided in Section 9.1 shall be effective service of process against it for any such action brought in any such court, (D) 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

-98-

action in any such court and (E) agrees that a final, non-appealable Order in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by Proceeding on such Order or in any other manner provided by Law.

(c)EACH PARTY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY OF THEM AGAINST THE OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING ANY PROCEEDING AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE PARTY OR ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE FINANCING, THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER, OR ANY OTHER LETTER OR AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE FINANCING)), THE ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS, THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH, INCLUDING THE FINANCING COMMITMENTS, OR THE ADMINISTRATION HEREOF OR THEREOF OR THE TRANSACTIONS OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN. NO PARTY SHALL SEEK A JURY TRIAL IN ANY PROCEEDING PROCEDURE BASED UPON, OR ARISING OUT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS, OR THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT, THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER, OR ANY OTHER LETTER OR AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE FINANCING. NO PARTY WILL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH ACTION IN WHICH A JURY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN WAIVED WITH ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE OR HAS NOT BEEN WAIVED. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 9.7. NO PARTY HAS IN ANY WAY AGREED WITH OR REPRESENTED TO ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.7 WILL NOT BE FULLY ENFORCED IN ALL INSTANCES.

9.8Alternative Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties hereby covenant and agree that if any dispute involves Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., Inc. (“TMNA”) and arises from or related in any way to the transactions contemplated herein, or TMNA’s right to approve or reject the same or its right of first refusal with respect thereto, such dispute shall be resolved as set forth in this Section 9.8 and Exhibit I attached hereto. Any such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9. U.S.C. §1 et seq., which the parties acknowledge as wholly preemptive of any state law which purports in any way to prohibit, restrict or limit the enforceability of this Section 9.8 9.7(a)or which requires the commencement or pursuit of judicial or administrative proceedings, the parties agree to submit such dispute to the dispute resolution mechanism (which includes binding arbitration) set forth in Exhibit I attached hereto. Such procedure shall be the sole and exclusive procedure and forum for the resolution of any such dispute. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties confirm and agree that nothing in this Agreement or the Exhibits is intended to, nor does it, modify, restrict or amend the terms of that certain framework agreement (“FWA”) by and between Xxxxxx Automotive Group, Inc. (“Xxxxxx”) and TMNA, or modify, restrict or amend the rights of Xxxxxx and TMNA under the FWA, including with respect to the dispute resolution provisions that remain governed by the terms of the FWA.

9.9Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions, including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties, whether or not the Transactions are

-99-

consummated; provided, however, that Buyer shall bear fifty percent (50%) of costs and expenses in connection with establishing and maintaining the escrow account under the Escrow Agreement.

9.10Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one agreement binding on the Parties. Electronic mail transmission, PDFs or other electronic instances of an executed counterpart of this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart, and such signatures shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of the enforcement and construction of this Agreement.

9.11Disclosure Schedules. Except as otherwise provided in the Disclosure Schedules, all capitalized terms used therein shall have the meanings assigned to them in this Agreement. Matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed. No disclosure made in the Disclosure Schedules shall constitute an admission or determination that any fact or matter so disclosed is material, meets a dollar or other threshold set forth in this Agreement or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, and no Person shall use the fact of the setting of a threshold or the inclusion of such facts or matters in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, amount, fact or matter is or is not material, is or is not in excess of a dollar or other threshold or would otherwise be required to be disclosed, for purposes of this Agreement. Information disclosed in any Disclosure Schedule will qualify any representation or warranty in this Agreement to the extent it is reasonably apparent from the disclosure that it is applicable to such other representation or warranty, notwithstanding the absence of a reference or cross-reference to such representation or warranty on any such Disclosure Schedule. No disclosure in the Disclosure Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

9.12Captions. 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.

9.13Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage (for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy) may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Parties in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that (a) Buyer, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions or other equitable relief or remedies to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction without proof of damages or otherwise and that this shall include the right of Parent to cause Buyer to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Laws, (b) the provisions set forth in Section 7.10(b) are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and will not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party's right to specific performance or other equitable relief, and (c) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither Party would have entered into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly agreed that

-100-

Parent will be entitled to specific performance of Buyer’s obligation to consummate the Transactions only if (i) with respect to the First Closing (1) all conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied or waived in full (other than those that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the First Closing) and Buyer fails to complete the First Closing by the date the First Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and Parent has confirmed to Buyer in writing that Parent is ready, willing and able to consummate the First Closing, (2) Parent has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted and Financing (or, if applicable the Alternative Financing) has been funded or will be funded at the First Closing, then the First Closing will occur, (3) the proceeds of the Debt Financing are available to Buyer on the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or (ii) with respect to the Second Closing (1) all conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.4 have been satisfied or waived in full (other than those that by their terms or nature are to be satisfied at the Second Closing) and Buyer fails to complete the Second Closing by the date the Second Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 2.3(b) and Parent has confirmed to Buyer in writing that Parent is ready, willing and able to consummate the First Closing, and (2) Parent has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance is granted and Financing (or, if applicable the Alternative Financing) has been funded or will be funded at the Second Closing, then the Second Closing will occur. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Each of the Parties hereby waives any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining specific performance of other equitable relief. Until such time as Buyer pays Parent the Termination Fee in accordance with Section 7.10(b), the remedies available to Parent pursuant to this Section 9.13 will be in addition to any other remedy to which they were entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Parent from seeking to collect or collecting the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.10(b); provided, that Parent shall not be entitled to receipt of both the Termination Fee and a grant of specific performance requiring Buyer to consummate the Closing. If any Party brings any Proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the First Outside Date or Second Outside Date, as applicable, shall be automatically extended for so long as the Party bringing such Proceeding is actively seeking an Order for an injunction or injunctions or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement plus five (5) Business Days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Seller Group or any of its Affiliates or Representatives be entitled hereunder to seek the remedy of specific performance with respect to all or any part of the Financing against any Financing Source Party.

9.14Legal Representation.

(a)Each Party acknowledges that (i) each of Parent and Acquired Companies has retained Katten and Xxxxx to act as its counsel in connection with the Transaction Matters as well as other past and ongoing matters, (ii) Katten and Xxxxx have not acted as counsel for any other Person in connection with the Transaction Matters, and (iii) no Person other than Parent and the Acquired Companies has the status of a Katten or Xxxxx client for conflict of interest or any other purpose as a result thereof. Buyer (1) waives and will not assert, and will cause each of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies) to waive and not assert, any conflict of interest relating to Katten’s and Xxxxx’x representation after the Closings of Parent or any of its Affiliates in any matter, whether involving the Transaction Matters (including any Proceeding) or otherwise and (2) Consents to, and will cause each of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies) to

Consent to, any such representation, even though in each case (x) the interests of Parent and/or its Affiliates may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Acquired Companies, (y) Katten and/or Xxxxx may have represented any Acquired Company in a substantially related matter, and/or (z) Katten and/or Xxxxx may be handling other ongoing matters for Buyer or any of the Acquired Companies.

(b)Buyer agrees that, after each Closing, neither Buyer nor any of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies) will have any right to access or control any of Katten’s or Xxxxx’x records, work product, summaries, drafts or analyses in any medium (including electronic copies) relating to or affecting any Transaction Matter, which shall be the property of (and be controlled by) Parent. In addition, Buyer agrees that it would be impractical to remove all Attorney-Client Communications from the records (including e-mails and other electronic files) of the Acquired Companies. Accordingly, (i) Buyer will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies) not to, in any way, directly or indirectly, use or rely on any Attorney-Client Communication remaining in the records of any Acquired Company after each Closing, and (ii) Buyer will, and will cause each of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies) to, maintain the confidentiality of all such Attorney-Client Communication remaining in the records of any applicable Acquired Company after each Closing.

(c)Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies), that from and after each Closing (i) the attorney-client privilege, all other evidentiary privileges, and the expectation of client confidence as to all Attorney-Client Communications are hereby assigned to and shall belong to Parent and will not pass to or be claimed by Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies) and (ii) Parent will have the exclusive right to control, assert, or waive the attorney-client privilege, any other evidentiary privilege, and the expectation of client confidence with respect to such Attorney-Client Communications. Accordingly, Buyer will not, and will cause each of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies) not to, (1) assert any attorney-client privilege, other evidentiary privilege, or expectation of client confidence with respect to any Attorney-Client Communication, except in the event of a post-Closing dispute with a Person that is not a member of the Seller Group or any of its Affiliates; or (2) take any action which would cause any Attorney-Client Communication to cease being a confidential communication or to otherwise lose protection under the attorney-client privilege or any other evidentiary privilege, including waiving such protection in any dispute with a Person that is not a member of the Seller Group or any of their respective Affiliates. Furthermore, Buyer agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its Affiliates (including, after each Closing, the applicable Acquired Companies), that in the event of a dispute between any member of the Seller Group or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Acquired Companies, on the other hand, arising out of or relating to any matter in which Katten or Xxxxx jointly represented both parties, neither the attorney-client privilege, the expectation of client confidence, nor any right to any other evidentiary privilege will protect from disclosure to any member of the Seller Group or any of their respective Affiliates any information or documents developed or shared during the course of Katten’s or Xxxxx’x joint representation.

9.15No Recourse.

9.16Parent Guaranty.

-103-

(a)Parent Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the due and punctual payment by Parent of the monetary obligations of Parent under Section 6.16 (Tax Matters) and ARTICLE VIII. This guaranty is an irrevocable guaranty of payment (and not just of collection) and shall continue in effect notwithstanding any extension or modification of the terms of this Agreement, any assumption of any such guaranteed obligation by any other Party or any other act or event that might otherwise operate as legal or equitable discharge of Parent Guarantor under this Section 9.16. Parent Guarantor agrees that it shall pay on demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties in connection with enforcing this Section 9.16, which amounts shall be in addition to all other obligations under this Section 9.16. There are no conditions precedent to the enforcement of this Section 9.16.

(b)The obligations of Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by or contingent upon (i) the liquidation or dissolution of, or the merger or consolidation of Parent with or into any Person or any sale or transfer by Parent of all or any part of its property or assets, (ii) the bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings involving or affecting Parent, (iii) any modification, alteration, amendment or addition of or to this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, or (iv) any disability or any other defense of Parent or any other Person and any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of Parent Guarantor) that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Parent Guarantor or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor or otherwise. In connection with the foregoing, Parent Guarantor waives presentment for payment or performance, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, or demand, diligence or protest; provided, however, Parent Guarantor shall have available to it all defenses that Parent would have in the event of an action by the Buyer Indemnified Parties against Parent to enforce this Agreement, other than any defenses arising from bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar proceedings involving or affecting Parent.

(c)All dealings between the Parent Guarantor and Parent, on the one hand, and the Buyer Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Section 9.16. Parent Guarantor acknowledges that they will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated hereby and that the waivers and agreements by Parent Guarantor set forth in this Section 9.16 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

(d)Parent Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows: (i) Parent Guarantor is a trust validly existing under the Laws of the State of Utah, and has all power and authority to execute, deliver and perform the obligations created by this Section 9.16; (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent Guarantor and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement has been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary organizational action; and (iii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent Guarantor and the performance of its obligations under this Agreement does not, and will not as of each Closing, violate its Organizational Documents or any applicable Law, or any material contractual restriction binding on Parent Guarantor or its assets.
