RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT In consideration of the Releasees allowing me to participate in wilderness activities I hereby agree as follows:
Release of Liens If at any time any Grantor or any ABL Secured Party delivers notice to the New First Lien Collateral Agent with respect to any specified Common Collateral that:
(A) such specified Common Collateral is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (a “Disposition”) by the owner of such Common Collateral in a transaction permitted under the ABL Credit Agreement and the New First Lien Agreements; or
(B) the ABL Secured Parties are releasing or have released their Liens on such Common Collateral in connection with a Disposition in connection with an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to such Common Collateral, then the Liens upon such Common Collateral securing New First Lien Obligations will automatically be released and discharged as and when, but only to the extent, such Liens on such Common Collateral securing ABL Obligations are released and discharged (provided that in the case of clause (B) of this Section 2.4(b), the Liens on any Common Collateral disposed of in connection with an Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies shall be automatically released but any proceeds thereof not applied to repay ABL Obligations shall be subject to the respective Liens securing New First Lien Obligations and shall be applied pursuant to Section 4.1). Upon delivery to the New First Lien Collateral Agent of a notice from the ABL Collateral Agent stating that any such release of Liens securing or supporting the ABL Obligations has become effective (or shall become effective upon the New First Lien Collateral Agent’s receipt of such notice), the New First Lien Collateral Agent shall, at the Company’s expense, promptly execute and deliver such instruments, releases, termination statements or other documents confirming such release on customary terms, which instruments, releases and termination statements shall be substantially identical to the comparable instruments, releases and termination statements executed by the ABL Collateral Agent in connection with such release.

Insurance Matters (a) KAR and SpinCo agree to cooperate in good faith to provide for an orderly transition of insurance coverage from the date hereof through the Effective Time. In no event shall KAR, any other member of the KAR Group or any KAR Indemnitee have any Liability or obligation whatsoever to any member of the SpinCo Group in the event that any insurance policy or other contract or policy of insurance shall be terminated or otherwise cease to be in effect for any reason, shall be unavailable or inadequate to cover any Liability of any member of the SpinCo Group for any reason whatsoever or shall not be renewed or extended beyond the current expiration date.
(b) From and after the Effective Time, with respect to any losses, damages and Liability incurred by any member of the SpinCo Group, or arising out of facts, events or circumstances occurring, prior to the Effective Time, KAR will provide SpinCo with access to, and SpinCo may, upon ten (10) days’ prior written notice to KAR, make claims under, KAR’s third-party insurance policies in place immediately prior to the Effective Time and KAR’s historical third-party policies of insurance, but solely to the extent that such policies provided coverage for SpinCo Liabilities or Liabilities arising from or in connection with actions, inactions, events, omissions, conditions, facts or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the Effective Time, in each case relating to, arising out of or resulting from the SpinCo Business, the SpinCo Assets or the SpinCo Liabilities; provided that such access to, and the right to make claims under, such insurance policies shall be subject to the terms and conditions of such insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductibles, self-insured retentions, loss reimbursements and other fees and expenses, and any retrospectively rated or other premium adjustments, resulting from such losses, damages or Liability. Any deductible, loss reimbursement, other fee or expense, or retrospectively rated or other premium adjustment, resulting from such losses, damages or Liability shall be SpinCo’s sole responsibility. SpinCo’s access shall be subject to the following additional conditions:
(i) SpinCo shall report any claim to KAR, as promptly as practicable, and in any event in sufficient time so that such claim may be made in accordance with KAR’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (or in accordance with any modifications to such procedures after the Effective Time communicated by KAR to SpinCo in writing);
(ii) SpinCo may, in its sole discretion, report such claim to the insurers on its and/or SpinCo’s behalf with a request that the insurers defend and indemnify it and/or SpinCo;
(iii) SpinCo and the members of the SpinCo Group shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse KAR and the members of the KAR Group for any fees and expenses incurred by KAR or any members of the KAR Group to the extent resulting from any access to, any claims made by SpinCo or any other members of the SpinCo Group under, any insurance provided pursuant to this Section 5.1(b), including any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claim or loss adjusting expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by SpinCo, its employees or Third Parties; and

In the event that any member of the KAR Group incurs any losses, damages or Liability prior to or in respect of the period prior to the Effective Time for which such member of the KAR Group is entitled to coverage under SpinCo’s third-party insurance policies, the same process pursuant to this Section 5.1(b) shall apply, substituting “KAR” for “SpinCo” and “SpinCo” for “KAR.”
(c) Except as provided in Section 5.1(b), from and after the Effective Time, neither SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group shall have any rights to or under any of the insurance policies of KAR or any other member of the KAR Group. At the Effective Time, SpinCo shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with SpinCo’s contractual obligations and such other insurance policies required by Law or as reasonably necessary or appropriate for companies operating a business similar to SpinCo’s. Such insurance programs may include general liability, commercial auto liability, workers’ compensation, employer’s liability, cyber security, product liability, professional services liability, property, open lot, employment practices liability, employee dishonesty/crime, directors and officers liability and fiduciary liability.
(d) Neither SpinCo nor any member of the SpinCo Group, in connection with making a claim under any insurance policy of KAR or any member of the KAR Group pursuant to this Section 5.1, shall take any action that would be reasonably likely to (i) have an adverse impact on the then-current relationship between KAR or any member of the KAR Group, on the one hand, and the applicable insurance company, on the other hand, (ii) result in the applicable insurance company terminating or materially reducing coverage, or materially increasing the amount of any premium owed by KAR or any member of the KAR Group under the applicable insurance policy, or (iii) otherwise compromise, jeopardize or interfere with the rights of KAR or any member of the KAR Group under the applicable insurance policy.
(e) All payments and reimbursements by SpinCo pursuant to this Section 5.1 will be made within fifteen (15) days after SpinCo’s receipt of an invoice therefor from KAR. If KAR incurs costs to enforce SpinCo’s obligations herein, SpinCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless KAR for such enforcement costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees pursuant to Section 4.6. KAR shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right under the policies or applicable law to settle the policies to which losses or claim expenses are allocated, to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any SpinCo Liabilities and/or claims SpinCo has made or could make in the future, and no member of the SpinCo Group shall allocate losses or claims or loss adjusting expenses to, or erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with KAR’s insurers with respect to any of KAR’s insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. SpinCo shall cooperate with KAR and share such information as is reasonably necessary to permit KAR to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate. KAR shall share such information with SpinCo as is reasonable necessary to enable SpinCo so to cooperate with KAR. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, neither KAR nor any of the members of the KAR Group shall have any obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any liability policies of KAR or any member of the KAR Group for any acts or omissions by any member of the SpinCo Group incurred prior to the Effective Time.

(g) SpinCo does hereby, for itself and each other member of the SpinCo Group, agree that no member of the KAR Group shall have any Liability whatsoever as a result of the insurance policies and practices of KAR and the members of the KAR Group as in effect at any time, including as a result of the level or scope of any such insurance, the creditworthiness of any insurance carrier, the terms and conditions of any policy, the adequacy or timeliness of any notice to any insurance carrier with respect to any claim or potential claim or otherwise.

(b) Acquiror acknowledges that Seller has the absolute and exclusive proprietary right to the trademark “OPTIMUM”, other “OPTIMUM” inclusive trademarks and designs and logos associated therewith currently used by the Business (collectively, the “Names”) and that none of the rights thereto or goodwill represented thereby or pertaining thereto are being transferred hereby or in connection herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for a period of 360 days following the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries may continue to operate the Systems using the Names, including (i) use of the phrase “Optimum is now Charter,” (ii) use of any Name affixed to vehicles, signage or other equipment which are used by any of them in Business as of the Closing Date, (iii) use of any printed purchase orders or sales, maintenance or license agreements that bear a Name (as limited by any existing agreements the Seller or any of its Affiliates may have with third parties) until the supplies thereof existing on the Closing Date have been exhausted, and (iv) use of any printed billing statements that bear a Name (such billing statements and purchase orders and sales, maintenance and license agreements are collectively referred to herein as “Forms”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing with respect to any advertising, marketing, packaging, displays, merchandise or other promotional materials (“Promotional Materials”) which are used by the Company or any Subsidiary in the Business as of the Closing Date the Company and the Subsidiaries shall have the right to use such Promotional Materials only: (i) for a period of 60 days following the Closing with respect to mass marketing Promotional Materials (such as television advertising and mass mailings) and 180 days for all other Promotional Materials, (ii) in the exact form as such Promotional Materials exist on the Closing Date, (iii) to the extent that the Company or Subsidiary using such Promotional Materials has not modified the products or services of the Business in any way which would render the use of such Promotional Materials inaccurate or misleading in any respect, and (iv) provided the Company and the Subsidiaries shall xxxx such materials as necessary in order to indicate clearly and prominently to indicate that neither the Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates is affiliated with the Seller or any of its Affiliates. With respect to Forms, within 60 days after the Closing Date the Company and the Subsidiaries shall sticker or otherwise xxxx such documents as necessary in order to indicate clearly that neither the Seller nor any of its Affiliates are a party to such documents or affiliated with the Seller or any of its Affiliates. From and after the expiration of the period for use applicable to Promotional Materials or Forms, the Company and the Subsidiaries shall cease to use any such Promotional Materials or Forms. With respect to the other uses of the Names permitted above, from and after the 360-day period permitted above the Company and the Subsidiaries shall delete or cover (as by stickering) any Name from any item included in inventory that bears Name and take such other actions as may be necessary or advisable clearly and prominently to indicate that neither the Acquiror nor any of its Affiliates is affiliated with the Seller or any of its Affiliates. If Acquiror determines that it wishes the Company and the Subsidiaries to use any Promotional Materials or Forms to which the applicable period provided above applies for a duration longer than such period or to use any other Promotional Materials or Forms or to create new Promotional Materials or Forms incorporating the Names in a manner exceeding the scope of the rights granted herein, Acquiror shall notify Seller and the parties shall negotiate in good faith the terms of a trademark license granting to the Company and the Subsidiaries such rights for an agreed-upon term and otherwise on terms and conditions mutually acceptable to Acquiror and Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the execution and delivery of any such trademark license shall not be a condition to Closing or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.11(b) shall require the Acquiror to remove or discontinue using any Name that is affixed as of the Closing Date to converters or other items in or to be used in consumer homes or properties, or as are used in a similar fashion making such removal or discontinuation impracticable.
