STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made this 18^th day of April, 2007, by and among Interval Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Interval”), Vacation Holdings Hawaii, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Interval (“Purchaser”), Xxxxxxx Entertainment Company, a Delaware corporation (“GEC”), and ResortQuest International, Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of GEC (“Seller”).

WHEREAS, Seller owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of RQI Holdings, Ltd., a Hawaii corporation (“RQIH”), and ResortQuest Real Estate of Hawaii, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“RQRE”; each of RQIH and RQRE is a “Company” and, collectively, the “Companies”); and

WHEREAS, Purchaser desires to acquire from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, all of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Companies upon and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.1 Transfer of Shares. 1.2 On the terms and subject to conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined in Section 3.1), Seller shall sell, transfer and convey to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from Seller, 1,000 shares of common stock of RQIH (the “RQIH Shares”), which constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of RQIH, and 10 shares of common stock of RQRE (the “RQRE Shares,” and, collectively with the RQIH Shares, the “Shares”), which constitute all the issued and outstanding capital stock of RQRE.

ARTICLE 2
CONSIDERATION

2.1 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Shares shall be $109,125,000, prior to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) below. The Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.2(a) but prior to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.2(b), shall be paid at the Closing to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wire transfer instructions provided in advance by Seller.

2.2 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Closing Date Purchase Price Adjustment. At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser an estimated combined balance sheet of the Companies and their Subsidiaries as of the month end immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet”), which shall include the Working Capital as of such month-end date (“Estimated RQ Working Capital”). The Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Estimated RQ Working Capital shall be prepared in good faith and in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements. Within 24 hours of notice, Seller shall provide Purchaser access to all relevant documents and information reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with its review of the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet. No later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall notify Seller of any objections to the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet, which notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis for Purchaser’s objections. If Purchaser has any objections, Purchaser and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections; provided, however, that in the event that any such objections are not resolved prior to Closing, the Estimated Closing Date Balance Sheet shall remain as initially delivered to Purchaser for all purposes hereunder. The Purchase Price to be paid at Closing by Purchaser shall, (i) if the Estimated RQ Working Capital is a positive amount, be increased by such amount, or, (ii) if the Estimated RQ Working Capital is a negative amount, be decreased by such amount.

(b) Post-Closing Date Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Within 90 days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to GEC a combined balance sheet of the Companies and their Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”), which shall include the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date RQ Working Capital”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet and the Closing Date RQ Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements.

(ii) If, within 30 days following delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, GEC has not given Purchaser written notice of its objection as to the Closing Date Balance Sheet or calculation of the Closing Date RQ Working Capital (which notice shall state in reasonable detail the basis of GEC’s objection), then the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Date RQ Working Capital as of the Closing Date shall be binding and conclusive on the parties for all purposes hereunder. Upon prior reasonable notice, Purchaser shall provide GEC access to all relevant documents and information reasonably requested by GEC in connection with its review of the Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(iii) If GEC duly gives Purchaser such notice of objection within the 30-day period, and if GEC and Purchaser fail to resolve the issues outstanding

with respect to the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Date RQ Working Capital within 30 days of Purchaser’s receipt of GEC’s objection notice, GEC and Purchaser shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm mutually determined by GEC and Purchaser that has not performed accounting, tax or audit services for Purchaser, GEC, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates during the past three years (the “Accountants”), for resolution in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements. If issues are submitted to the Accountants for resolution, (A) GEC and Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Accountants may request and are available to that party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss issues with the Accountants; (B) the determination by the Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both GEC and Purchaser within 60 days of the submission to the Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be used in calculation of the Closing Date RQ Working Capital; and (C) GEC and Purchaser will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and costs of the Accountants for such determination.

(iv) Within three business days after the Closing Date Balance Sheet becomes binding and conclusive pursuant to this Section 2.2(b), the following adjustments to the Purchase Price shall be made:

(A) In the event that the Closing Date RQ Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Date RQ Working Capital, then GEC shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Closing Date RQ Working Capital and the Closing Date RQ Working Capital to Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wire transfer instructions provided by Purchaser; or

(B) In the event that the Closing Date RQ Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Closing Date RQ Working Capital, then Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the difference between the Closing Date RQ Working Capital and the Estimated Closing Date RQ Working Capital to GEC by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the wire transfer instructions provided by GEC.

(c) Any payments made under this Section 2.2 shall be treated by GEC, Seller and Purchaser as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the recipient of such payment causes any such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes.

ARTICLE 3

3.1 Closing Date. The closing (the “Closing”) shall take place at 10:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Bass, Xxxxx & Xxxx PLC, Nashville, Tennessee, on the immediately succeeding last business day of the month following satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of all conditions to Closing set forth in Article 7, or at such other place or at such other time or on such other date as Purchaser and Seller mutually may agree in writing.

The Companies, Seller and GEC shall each use their commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in employing such Company Covered Employees as of the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, no provision in this Agreement shall be construed to restrict the ability of the Companies, their Subsidiaries or Purchaser to amend any of the compensation and employee benefit plans and policies maintained by the Companies and/or their Subsidiaries following the Closing.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, Seller and/or GEC shall be solely liable for any severance or other termination payments or benefits required to be made or provided to any current or former employee, officer, director or consultant of a Company or a Subsidiary of the Companies (including any Company Covered Employee) (i) as a result of any termination of employment or service that occurs on or prior to the Closing or (ii) otherwise as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (excluding any such payments required to be made as the result of the termination of such Covered Employee’s employment by Purchaser at or after the Closing).

(d) As of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause to be maintained for the benefit of Company Covered Employees a defined contribution plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and Purchaser shall, upon the Closing or as soon as practicable thereafter, direct the trustee of GEC’s 401(k) Plan to transfer to the trustee of a defined contribution plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code the aggregate individual account balances of the Company Covered Employees (whether or not vested) who are then employed by Purchaser or the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries.

(e) In the event that (i) GEC makes payments under its Supplemental Salary Deferral (SUDCOMP) plan to Company Covered Employees that may be categorized as income reportable on Form W-2 during 2007 with respect to such Company Covered Employees, or (ii) the Company Covered Employees exercise options to acquire common stock of GEC that results in income reportable on Form W-2 during 2007 with respect to such Company Covered Employees, the parties will cooperate with respect to reporting such amounts as required by applicable Law on Forms W-2 prepared by GEC or Purchaser, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, GEC shall be and remain responsible for the payment of all Taxes and expenses, and shall be entitled to all Tax benefits, with respect to such Supplemental Salary Deferral (SUDCOMP) Plan and the exercise of such stock options.

(f) GEC shall remain solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements for group health plans under the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985 and Sections 601 through 608 of ERISA (collectively, “COBRA”) for all former employees (and their respective beneficiaries and dependents) of the Companies and any Subsidiary thereof who are receiving COBRA continuation coverage as of the Closing Date and for all former employees and Company Covered Employees (and their respective beneficiaries and dependents) who are entitled to elect such coverage on account of a qualifying event occurring on or before the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent such right to such continuation coverage arose or arises under a

Plan sponsored by Seller and/or GEC (i.e., other than any Plan sponsored by any Company or any Subsidiary of any Company). The Companies (or any Subsidiary of any Company, as applicable) shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements for group health plans under COBRA for all former employees (and their respective beneficiaries and dependents) of the Companies and any Subsidiary thereof who are receiving COBRA continuation coverage as of the Closing Date and for all former employees and Company Covered Employees (and their respective beneficiaries and dependents) who are entitled to elect such coverage on account of a qualifying event occurring on or before the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent such right to such continuation coverage arose or arises under a Plan sponsored by a Company or any Subsidiary of any Company.

(g) GEC shall provide Purchaser with correctly completed I-9 forms (the “I-9 Forms”) and attachments with respect to all Company Covered Employees (excluding any Company Covered Employees whose employment commenced prior to the time at which I-9 Forms were required to be entered into under applicable Law).

(h) Simultaneously with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, GEC and Seller agree to distribute the vested account balances of the Company Covered Employees under the GEC Supplemental Salary Deferral (SUDCOMP) Plan to such individuals in accordance with the provisions of the GEC Supplemental Salary Deferral (SUDCOMP) Plan.

Such list shall be dated within one week of the delivery of such list as provided in the foregoing sentence.

6.9 Intercompany Indebtedness. Immediately prior to the Closing, Seller shall contribute to the Companies, as a capital contribution in respect of the Shares of the relevant Company, all indebtedness owed by such Company or any of its Subsidiaries to GEC, Seller or any of their Affiliates that has not been repaid by such Company or its Subsidiary prior to the Closing, if any. In addition, immediately prior to the Closing, any indebtedness owed by Seller or its Affiliates (other than the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries) to the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries that has not been repaid by the Seller or its Affiliates prior to the Closing, shall be satisfied.

6.10 Debt and Guaranties. At the Closing, GEC shall pay or make provision for the release of guaranties of the Companies and their Subsidiaries related to the contracts, agreements and obligations of GEC, Seller and any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Companies and their Subsidiaries). Section 6.10 of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth all such guaranties.

6.11 Supplements to Disclosure Schedule.

periods (“Straddle Periods”) that include but do not end on the Closing Date to the extent attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending at the close of business on the Closing Date; (iii) any and all Taxes imposed on either of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries by reason of either of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries (or any predecessor thereof) having been a member of an Affiliated Group on or prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, by reason of the liability of either Company or any of their Subsidiaries (or any predecessor thereof) pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision under state, local or foreign Law)); and (iv) any inaccuracy in or breach of any Tax representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto and any breach of any Tax covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (without regard to disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, GEC and Seller shall not be required to indemnify Purchaser or the Companies and their Subsidiaries for any Tax to the extent such Tax is specifically accrued as a liability for Taxes in arriving at the working capital adjustments pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement.

(b) Unless prohibited by applicable Law, the parties hereto shall cause the taxable period of the Companies and their Subsidiaries to close as of the close of business on the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including, and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after, the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit, and state and local apportionment factors of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for the Straddle Period, shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of the Companies and their Subsidiaries were closed at the close of the Closing Date. However, (i) exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis, such as the deduction for depreciation, and (ii) periodic taxes such as real and personal property taxes shall be apportioned ratably between such periods on a daily basis.

8.2 Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.

(a) Income Tax Returns. GEC will be responsible for and will cause to be prepared and duly filed (i) all Tax Returns of the Companies and their Subsidiaries that are due before the Closing Date (taking account of extensions of time to file such Tax Returns) and (ii) all Tax Returns of the Companies and their Subsidiaries that are income Tax Returns and are prepared on a consolidated, unitary, or combined basis and that include GEC or Seller for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date. GEC shall include the income of the Companies and their Subsidiaries on GEC’s consolidated federal income Tax Returns (and any foreign or state consolidated, unitary or combined Tax Returns) for all periods ending on or before the Closing Date and pay any income Taxes attributable to such income. The Companies and their Subsidiaries shall furnish

Tax information to GEC for inclusion in GEC’s federal consolidated income Tax Return (or other Tax Return described in the preceding sentence) for the period that includes the Closing Date in accordance with the Companies’ and their Subsidiaries’ past custom and practice.

(b) Other Tax Returns. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Companies and their Subsidiaries that are filed after the Closing Date (other than Tax Returns with respect to periods described in Section 8.1(a)) and, subject to the right to payment from GEC under the next sentence, Purchaser shall pay all Taxes shown as due on those Tax Returns. Not later than two (2) days prior to the filing of any such Tax Returns, GEC shall pay to Purchaser the amount of Taxes owed by GEC pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.1(a).

(c) Review Rights. No later than thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing thereof, Purchaser shall provide GEC with drafts of all Tax Returns prepared by it pursuant to Section 8.2(b), but only to the extent such Tax Returns would reflect a Tax liability for which GEC is responsible under this Agreement. The reviewing party shall have the right to review and provide comments on Tax Returns during the fifteen (15)-day period following the receipt of such Tax Returns. GEC and Purchaser shall consult with each other and attempt in good faith to resolve any issues arising as a result of any Tax Returns described in this Section 8.2(c) and, if they are unable to do so, the disputed items shall be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Tax Return) by an internationally recognized independent accounting firm chosen by both Purchaser and GEC. Upon resolution of all such items, the relevant Tax Return shall be timely filed on that basis. The costs, fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and GEC. If any dispute with respect to a Tax Return is not resolved prior to the due date of such Tax Return, such Tax Return shall be filed in the manner which the party responsible for preparing such Tax Return deems correct, without prejudice to the other party’s rights and obligations under this Article 8.

8.3 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) Purchaser and GEC shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article 8 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. GEC and Purchaser agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Companies or a Subsidiary of a Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or GEC, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring,

destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Purchaser so requests, GEC shall allow Purchaser to take possession of such books and records.

(b) Purchaser and GEC further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

8.4 Refunds and Tax Benefits. Any income Tax refunds that are received by Purchaser, either Company or any Subsidiary, and any amounts credited against income Tax liability of Purchaser, a Company or any Subsidiary for which GEC is not liable and that relate to income Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date, other than any such refunds or credits of Tax that are (a) attributable to a loss, credit or other tax attribute arising in periods beginning after the Closing Date (including the portion of a Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date) or (b) reflected as an asset on the Closing Date Balance Sheet, shall be net of any Taxes incurred in respect of the receipt or accrual of such refund or credit and net of any other expenses attributable thereto be for the account of GEC paid over to GEC within fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto.

8.5 Section 338(h)(10) Election and Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) GEC and Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall join together in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and all corresponding elections under state, local or foreign law) (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”) with respect to the shares of stock of the Companies that are purchased by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement and, at the request of Purchaser, shares of stock of any Subsidiaries of the Companies. GEC and Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser by taking all steps necessary in order to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Elections in accordance with applicable laws (including, without limitation, the preparation of IRS Form 8023 and all similar state and local forms and submitting any ruling request, prepared by and at the sole expense of Purchaser on behalf of GEC, the Seller or the Companies, as the case may be, the applicable taxing authorities with respect to such election). At the request of the Purchaser, GEC and Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser on the Closing Date (or such later time as requested by Purchaser) an executed IRS Form 8023 (and all applicable corresponding state or local forms) with respect to the Companies and their Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the request of the Purchaser, GEC and the Seller shall convert each of the Companies (and, at the discretion of the Purchaser, each of the Subsidiaries that is not a limited liability company) into a limited liability company before the Closing Date in lieu of the parties making the Section 338(h)(10) Election set forth above, provided that Purchaser provides a written notice of such request to GEC and Seller no later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date (the “LLC Conversion”).

(b) Within one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to GEC a draft schedule allocating the Purchase Price among the stock of the Companies and allocating the “aggregate deemed sales price”

within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Regulations under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to each of the Companies and their Subsidiaries, among the assets of the Companies and their Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Allocation”). Within thirty (30) days of delivery of the Allocation, GEC shall notify Purchaser of any proposed changes. If the parties cannot agree on the Allocation, the dispute shall be resolved by an independent nationally recognized accounting firm mutually determined by Purchaser and GEC. The Allocation shall be used in preparing IRS Form 8883 (and all similar forms required under state or local Law), which form shall be completed, executed, and delivered by the parties as soon as reasonably practicable after the finalization of the Allocation, but in no event later than sixty (60) days before the due date for the filing of such form. Any payments subsequent to the Closing Date (such as indemnity payments under the terms of this Agreement) that are treated as an adjustment to purchase price of the assets of the Companies and their Subsidiaries for tax purposes shall be reflected as an adjustment to the price allocated to a specific asset, if any, giving rise to the adjustment and if any such adjustment does not relate to a specific asset, such adjustment shall be allocated among the Company assets in accordance with the Allocation method provided in this Section 8.5(b). In the event that Purchaser has made the election to proceed with a LLC Conversion, the provisions described in this paragraph shall continue to apply, except that the reference to “Allocation” shall be an allocation of the purchase price for tax purposes that is done in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder and the applicable form used to reflect the Allocation shall be IRS Form 8594 (and all similar forms required under state or local Law).

(c) Purchaser, GEC and Seller agree to file and agree to cause each of the Companies and their Subsidiaries to file all federal, state, local and foreign Returns in accordance with the Allocation (as originally proposed or as revised in accordance with this Agreement, as the case may be) and, except as required pursuant to a final determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or corresponding provisions of state or local Law), not to take, or cause to be taken, any action that would be inconsistent with such Allocation in any Return, audit, litigation or otherwise.

8.6 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be borne fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser and fifty percent (50%) by GEC, except that any transfer Taxes arising from the distribution of RHAC Holdings, LLC and Waipouli Holdings, LLC shall be borne by GEC.

8.7 Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. Any Tax allocation, sharing or indemnity agreement or arrangement (other than this Agreement), whether or not written, that may have been entered into by Seller (or any Affiliate of Seller), on the one hand, and either Company or any of their Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be terminated as to the Companies and their Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date, and no payments (or any other obligations) that are owed by or to either Company or their Subsidiaries pursuant thereto shall be required to be made (or performed) thereunder.

8.8 Tax Proceedings.

(a) In the event (i) Purchaser (or its Affiliates) or (ii) GEC (or its Affiliates) receives notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments by any Tax authority or other disputes concerning Taxes with respect to which the other party may incur liability under this Article 8 (or otherwise), the party in receipt of such notice shall promptly notify the other party of such matter in writing. The failure by Purchaser to provide such notice on a timely basis, however, shall not release GEC from any of its obligations under this Article 8, except to the extent that GEC is prejudiced by such failure.

(b) GEC shall have the right to defend, object to or prosecute, at its sole cost and expense, those Tax claims relating to periods ending on or before the Closing Date. GEC may in its discretion settle or compromise any such Tax claim; provided, however, that if the results of such Tax claim could affect the Tax liability of Purchaser, the Companies or their respective Subsidiaries for any Tax period including or ending after the Closing Date, then GEC shall not settle or compromise such Tax claim without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. With respect to Tax claims relating to periods ending on or before the Closing Date that are controlled by GEC and the settlement of which requires Purchaser’s consent pursuant to this paragraph, Purchaser or its authorized representatives shall be entitled, at the expense of Purchaser, to attend and participate in all proceedings relating to such Tax claim. Purchaser shall have the right to defend, object to or prosecute all other Tax claims.

8.9 Treatment of Indemnity Payment. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties agree that any indemnity payments under the terms of this Agreement and any payment under Sections 2.2 and 2.3 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for income tax purposes.

8.10 Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of United States federal, state or local, or any foreign, tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Authority by Purchaser, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the applicable holders of Shares in respect of which Purchaser made such deduction and withholding.

8.11 Conflict with Article 10. In the event of any conflict between Article 10 and this Article 8 with respect to indemnification for Taxes, this Article 8 shall control. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of Sections 8.1(a) and 8.2 are not subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.5 hereof.

9.2 Effect of Termination and Abandonment. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article 9, this Agreement (other than as set forth in Sections 6.4(b) and 6.6) shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party hereto (or of any of its representatives); provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for damages (or fees and out-of-pocket expenses) resulting from any willful and intentional breach of this Agreement.

10.4 Procedure for Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any third party shall notify either of the parties to this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party to this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 10, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly issue a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto.

(b) An Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) days following the receipt of the Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party desires to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party thereafter conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 10.4(b), the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, except the Indemnifying Party may consent to the entry of judgment or settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party if the judgment or settlement is solely for money damages.

(d) In the event any of the conditions in Section 10.4(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from the Third-Party Claim.

The Claim Notice shall contain a brief description of the nature of the Losses suffered and, if practicable, an aggregate dollar value estimate of the Losses suffered. No delay in the issuance of a Claim Notice shall relieve either party from any obligation under this Article 10, unless and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is thereby prejudiced.

10.5 Limitations on Seller’s and GEC’s Indemnification Liability.

(a) Ceiling: Seller’s and GEC’s aggregate liability for indemnification claims under this Article 10 arising from breaches of representations and warranties in Article 4 hereof, shall not exceed $27,281,250 (the “Cap”).

(b) Deductible: Seller and GEC shall have no liability for indemnification claims under Article 10 arising from breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and/or agreements hereunder by Seller and/or GEC, unless and until the aggregate Losses

claimed under Article 10 exceed $1,000,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only for the amount by which such Losses exceed the Deductible.

(c) Exceptions to the Cap and Deductible. The limitations in subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10.5 shall not apply to (i) breaches of Sections 4.2 (“Authority”), 4.4 (“Capitalization”), or 4.14 (“Taxes”), (ii) Losses arising out of or related to the matters set forth in clause (b), (c) or (d) of Section 10.2, (iii) any claims found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation, (iv) any failure of GEC to pay any post-closing purchase price adjustment required to be made by GEC pursuant to Section 2.2(b), (v) breaches of Section 6.14 hereof, (vi) the right of the Purchaser to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(a), (vii) any claims under the Transition Services Agreement, and (viii) the obligation of GEC to pay fees or expenses as set forth in Section 8.6 and the last sentence of Section 6.6.

10.6 Limitations on Purchaser’s Indemnification Liability.

(a) Ceiling: Purchaser’s aggregate liability for indemnification claims under this Article 10 arising from breaches of representations and warranties in Article 5 shall not exceed the Cap.

(b) Deductible: Purchaser shall have no liability for indemnification claims under Article 10 arising from breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and/or agreements hereunder by Purchaser, unless and until the aggregate Losses claimed under Article 10 exceed the Deductible, and then only for the amount by which such Losses exceed the Deductible.

(c) Exceptions to the Cap and Deductible. The limitations in subsections (a) and (b) above of this Section 10.6 shall not apply to (i) breaches of Section 5.2 (first and second sentences only), (ii) any failure of Purchaser to close and pay the Purchase Price as required hereunder (including any post-closing purchase price adjustment required to be made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.2(b)), (iii) breaches of Section 6.14 hereof, (iv) any claims under the Transition Services Agreement, (v) any claims of Seller or GEC pursuant to the last sentence of Section 10.3, and (vi) the obligation of Purchaser to pay fees or expenses as set forth in Section 8.6 and the last sentence of Section 6.6.

10.7 Determination of Losses. The parties shall take into account any net Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party as of the time that the indemnity payment is made as a result of the incurrence of Losses giving rise to indemnity. In computing the amount of any such Tax benefit, the parties shall take account of any Tax costs to the Indemnified Party as a result of the receipt of the indemnity payment and the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnity payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Losses. In addition, the amount of Losses incurred by any Indemnified Party hereunder will be determined net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party under any policies of insurance covering the Loss giving rise to the applicable claim. The Indemnified Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make an insurance claim under

any relevant policies of insurance covering the loss but shall not be obligated to institute legal proceedings to enforce coverage of any such claim. Furthermore, any amounts received pursuant to making an insurance claim shall be offset by any Loss related to making such claim, including the payment of any deductible and any increases in premium payments that can be shown to be directly attributable to having made such claim, and the Loss shall be increased by the amount, if any, by which the Losses related to making such claim exceed the insurance proceeding actually received.

10.8 Exclusive Remedy. In the event the Closing occurs, Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnification provisions in this Article 10 shall be the exclusive remedy of Purchaser (and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties) and Seller (and the other Seller Indemnified Parties) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than for specific performance of this Agreement, which shall be available as a remedy as set forth herein). Except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 10.8, each party to this Agreement hereby waives all statutory, common Law and other claims with respect to this Agreement, other than claims for indemnification with respect to this Agreement pursuant to (and in accordance with the terms of) this Article 10 and other than claims for specific performance or injunctive relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall Seller or Purchaser be liable for any special or punitive damages or consequential damages, except to the extent such damages are payable with respect to a Third-Party Claim, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover or seek any remedy under this Agreement (a) with respect to any claim or liability to any employee employed by a Company or any of their Subsidiaries arising as a result of the termination of such employees’ employment after the Closing Date (except to the extent arising out of a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller hereunder relating to severance or other payments or obligations in connection with such termination) or (b) to the extent that the liability for such damages is included in the calculation of the Closing Date RQ Working Capital. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto shall be deemed to have waived any rights, claims, causes of action or remedies if and to the extent such rights, claims, causes of actions or remedies are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from actual fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

10.9 Indemnification Obligations of Seller. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at and after such time that GEC or an Affiliate thereof has sold Seller to a third party, whether by stock purchase, merger, sale of substantially all of its assets or similar business combination transaction, Seller shall not have any indemnification obligation hereunder to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (except in the event of any breach by Seller or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries of Section 6.13 or Section 6.14, in which case Seller will have indemnification obligations to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in accordance with the terms set forth herein with respect to such breaches)
