Acquiring New Business. (a) In the event that Sears or its Subsidiaries acquires, directly or through merger, acquisition or other combination or similar event, from third parties any retail business, including for purposes of this Section 8.5, Sears Canada, Sears Mexico, and any other retail business in Canada or Mexico that would be a “Store” hereunder (each, a “New Business”) and any associated proprietary or other credit card accounts and accounts receivable (that would be covered by the definition of Accounts Receivable had they been issued hereunder) including any associated program rights whether it has a program in-house or with a third party (a “New Portfolio”), Sears shall (i) use reasonable best efforts to offer or cause to be offered to Purchaser the opportunity to participate in the related due-diligence process for purposes of assisting in development of an appropriate valuation for the New Portfolio; and (ii) permit Purchaser to make, no later than 10 Business Days prior to the time Sears is required to make an offer with respect to the New Portfolio, an offer to purchase the New Portfolio and add the New Portfolio to the Program. Unless the New Business is subject to an agreement that would prohibit such actions or that would prohibit the addition of the New Portfolio to the Program (a “Conflicting Agreement”), Sears may accept or reject such offer in its commercially reasonable discretion. If the New Business is subject to a Conflicting Agreement, Section 8.5(c) shall govern. If Sears accepts such offer, Sears shall convey or cause to be conveyed to Purchaser, either simultaneously with or promptly following the closing of the acquisition of the New Business or the acceptance of such offer, the New Portfolio, in exchange for payment by Purchaser to Sears of the agreed-upon amount and on such other terms as agreed between Sears and Purchaser and such New Business and New Portfolio shall be subject to the Program. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the New Business does not have a New Portfolio, any applicable products with respect to such New Business shall be treated as Additional Products.
