If the Members are not able to mutually agree on any Sale matter and the subsequent good faith efforts of the Members do not resolve the deadlock (e.g., which bid constitutes a Superior Offer under Section 15.04(b)(2)), either Discovery or Hasbro may trigger the deadlock procedures under Section 7.03(c); provided that any time periods applicable to the procedures set forth in this Article 15 shall toll until the resolution of any such deadlock. In the event the designated representatives do not resolve the deadlock within ten (10) days after initially conferring, either Discovery or Hasbro may elect for the Members to engage a Third Party Appraiser or another mutually agreed third party arbiter to resolve such matter and, upon such engagement, the Members shall submit to the Third-Party Appraiser or other arbiter their respective position in writing together with reasonable supporting materials. The Third-Party Appraiser’s or other arbiter’s determination shall be final and binding on the parties for the purposes herein and the costs and fees of the Third-Party Appraiser or other arbiter shall be borne by the non-prevailing Member. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an auction and a proposed Sale to a third party following a termination pursuant to Section 15.01(g) or (h), the terminating Member shall have the authority and right to make final decisions on any Sale matter as to which the Members are not able to agree, so long as such terminating Member (w) makes decisions consistent with the other terms and procedures set forth in this Article 15, (x) consults with the non-terminating Member in good faith and keeps the non-terminating Member informed of its decisions, and (y) acts in good faith for the purposes of maximizing the value to the Members resulting from such Sale in a commercially reasonable and non-discriminatory manner with respect to such non-terminating Member. To the extent the terminating Member agrees to provide representations and warranties (including with respect to the Company and the Business) and/or agrees to accept monetary indemnification obligations in connection with a Sale to a third party, the non-terminating Member shall be obligated to provide and accept them also to the extent they are customary, pro rata as between the Members (based on each Member’s Percentage Interest) and, without limiting the foregoing, the maximum liability in connection therewith is the non-terminating Member’s pro rata share (based on Percentage Interest) of the proceeds of such Sale. If there is a dispute as to whether any such proposed provisions are customary, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in the second, third and fourth sentences of this Section 15.04(b)(6). The terms of a Sale to a third party may not impose non-monetary liabilities or obligations on the non-terminating Member without the consent of the non-terminating Member; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed to the extent such non-monetary liabilities or obligations are ministerial in nature or otherwise necessary to transfer and convey the Membership Interests to the Transferee, free and clear of all Liens, other than those created by or under this Agreement, under federal or state securities laws or by the Company. At the closing of such Sale, the Transferor Member(s) shall deliver, against delivery of the purchase price in cash, all such customary documents and instruments as are reasonably requested by the Transferee to transfer and convey the Membership Interests to the Transferee, free and clear of all Liens, other than those created by or under this Agreement, under federal or state securities laws or by the Company.
