The payments made under this Section 2.7.3(c) are referred to herein collectively as the "Closing Date Payments."

2.8 Post-Closing Adjustments.

2.8.1 Adjustment Statement. Not later than thirty (30) days after (a) if there is no Canadian Closing, the Expiration Date, or (b) if there is a Canadian Closing, the receipt of the Inventory Report for both the USA Acquired Inventory and the Canadian Acquired Inventory (either (a) or (b), the "Adjustment Statement Due Date"), at Buyer's election in its sole discretion, Buyer may cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller Buyer's good faith estimate of the calculation of each of the Inventory Amount, the Dollars/Theme Park Amount and the Cash-On-Hand (to the extent delivered by Buyer, the "Adjustment Statement," which Adjustment Statement shall also include supporting documentation with respect to the matters set forth therein).

2.8.2 Adjustment Statement Objection. If Buyer delivers an Adjustment Statement pursuant to the preceding Section 2.8.1, then during the thirty (30) day period following Buyer's delivery thereof, Seller and its Representatives shall have, upon request during normal business hours subject to reasonable prior notice, (i) the right to examine the Adjustment Statement and all records and documentation used to prepare the Adjustment Statement, (ii) access to copies of all other books, records and accounts and such other information relating to the Adjustment Statement in the possession of Buyer, its Affiliates and/or their respective accountants and other Representatives as Seller reasonably requests, and (iii) access to the employees, accountants and other Representatives of Buyer and its Affiliates who were responsible for preparing the Adjustment Statement as Seller reasonably requests, to allow Seller to examine the accuracy of the Adjustment Statement. In the event Seller disputes any matter described in the Adjustment Statement, Seller shall so inform Buyer in writing (the "Adjustment Statement Objection"), setting forth a reasonably detailed description of the basis of the Adjustment Statement Objection on or before the last day of the thirty (30) day period referred to above in this Section 2.8.2. For purposes of clarification, Seller may examine the accuracy of any matter described in the Adjustment Statement and submit the Adjustment Statement Objection regardless of whether Buyer's estimates of the Inventory Amount, Dollars/Theme Park Amount or Cash-On-Hand as set forth in the Adjustment Statement are more than, less than or equal to the Estimated Inventory Amount, Estimated Dollars/Theme Park Amount or Estimated Cash-On-Hand. If Seller delivers an Adjustment Statement Objection, then Buyer and Seller shall attempt in good faith to resolve such objection within thirty (30) days following Buyer's receipt thereof. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve the objection within such thirty (30) day period, then they shall refer their remaining differences to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (unless otherwise mutually agreed in Buyer's and Seller's respective sole discretion) (the "CPA Firm"), who shall, acting as experts in accounting and not as arbitrators or legal experts, resolve only those accounting disagreements specifically submitted to the CPA Firm. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon the specific accounting disagreements to be submitted to the CPA Firm, the method for submitting such accounting disagreements, applicable guidelines to govern communications with the CPA Firm and other procedural rules with respect to the engagement of, the submission of accounting differences to, and the resolution of such accounting differences by, the CPA Firm. In no event shall Buyer or Seller submit to the CPA Firm, nor shall the CPA Firm resolve, any legal disagreements. For purposes of clarification, the parties agree that it is their intent that the Final Inventory Amount, Final Dollars/Theme Park Amount and Final Cash-On-Hand be calculated in substantially the same manner and form as the Estimated Inventory Amount, Estimated Dollars/Theme Park Amount and Estimated Cash-On-Hand, but with respect to the Final Inventory Amount, taking into account the Inventory Report. Buyer and Seller shall make readily available to the CPA Firm all relevant books and records and any work papers relating to the Adjustment Statement, the Adjustment Statement Objection, the Inventory Report, the employees, accountants and other Representatives of Buyer and Seller, and all other items reasonably requested by the CPA Firm. Buyer and Seller shall jointly engage the CPA Firm, and the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller. The CPA Firm shall be directed to deliver in writing its resolution of any disputed items from the Adjustment Statement to Seller and Buyer no later than the twentieth (20^th) Business Day after the remaining differences underlying the Adjustment Statement Objection are referred to the CPA Firm. Upon completion of the foregoing procedures:

(a) If Buyer elects in its sole option and discretion not to submit an Adjustment Statement by the Adjustment Statement Due Date, then the "Final Inventory Amount," "Final Dollars/Theme Park Amount" and "Final Cash-On-Hand," respectively, shall be deemed to be the Estimated Inventory Amount, the Estimated Dollars/Theme Park Amount and the Estimated Cash-On-Hand;

(b) If Buyer submits an Adjustment Statement by the Adjustment Statement Due Date, and Seller does not object thereto within the thirty (30) day time period specified in Section 2.8.2, then the "Final Inventory Amount," "Final Dollars/Theme Park Amount" and "Final Cash-On-Hand," respectively, shall be deemed to be Buyer's estimates of the Inventory Amount, the Dollars/Theme Park Amount and the Cash-On-Hand, respectively, as set forth in the Adjustment Statement; and

(c) If Buyer submits an Adjustment Statement by the Adjustment Statement Due Date, then the "Final Inventory Amount," "Final Dollars/Theme Park Amount" and "Final Cash-On-Hand," respectively, shall be deemed to be (A) as agreed upon by Seller and Buyer, if Seller submits and Adjustment Statement Objection but Seller and Buyer are able to resolve such objection, (B) as determined or resolved by the CPA Firm, if Seller submits an Adjustment Statement Objection and Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve all such objections, or (C) as applicable, a combination of the preceding subparagraphs (A) and (B).

2.8.3 Final Payments and Release of Escrow Amounts. Following completion of the foregoing procedures:

(a) If the Final Amount is equal to the Closing Date Estimate, then (i) within three (3) Business Days following the completion of such procedures, the parties shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay to USA Seller the amount in the Inventory Adjustment Escrow Fund, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions to be delivered by USA Seller to the Escrow Agent and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the Tax Escrow Expiration Date and the Severance Escrow Expiration Date, respectively, the parties shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay to USA Seller the amount, if any, remaining in the Transaction Taxes Escrow Fund (after giving effect to the release of any funds therefrom pursuant to Section 6.1.1) and the Severance Escrow Fund (after giving effect to the release of any funds therefrom pursuant to Section 6.4.2(a)), respectively;

(b) If the Final Amount is greater than the Closing Date Estimate, then (i) within three (3) Business Days following the completion of such procedures, (A) the parties shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay to USA Seller the amount in the Inventory Adjustment Escrow Fund, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions to be delivered by USA Seller to the Escrow Agent and (B) USA Buyer shall pay to USA Seller an amount equal to the following, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions to be delivered by USA Seller to USA Buyer: (I) the Final Amount, minus (II) an amount equal to the sum of the Closing Date Payments, minus (III) the amounts released from the Inventory Adjustment Escrow Fund pursuant to the preceding subparagraph (i)(A), minus (IV) the Transaction Taxes Escrow Amount, minus (V) the Severance Escrow Amount, and (ii) within three (3) Business Days following the Tax Escrow Expiration Date and the Severance Escrow Expiration Date, respectively, the parties shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay to USA Seller the amount, if any, remaining in the Transaction Taxes Escrow Fund (after giving effect to the release of any funds therefrom pursuant to Section 6.1.1) and the Severance Escrow Fund (after giving effect to the release of any funds therefrom pursuant to Section 6.4.2(a)), respectively; and

(c) If the Closing Date Estimate exceeds the Final Amount (such excess, the "Excess Amount"), then within three (3) Business Days following the completion of such procedures, the Excess Amount shall be paid to USA Buyer in the following manner and order: (i) the parties shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay the Excess Amount to USA Buyer from the Inventory Adjustment Escrow Fund by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions to be delivered by USA Buyer to the Escrow Agent (and, if there remain any amounts in the Inventory Adjustment Escrow Fund following payment of the Excess Amount, such joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent shall also provide for the payment of such remainder to USA Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions to be delivered by USA Seller to the Escrow Agent), (ii) any remaining unpaid portion of the Excess Amount after the payment in the preceding subparagraph (i) shall be paid by USA Seller to USA Buyer via wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions delivered by USA Buyer to USA Seller, and the amount payable by USA Seller under this subparagraph (ii) shall constitute a superpriority administrative expense in the Bankruptcy Case, shall be secured by a court-ordered charge in the Canadian Insolvency Proceeding and shall be payable without any further notice, hearing or court approval, and (iii) if for any reason there remains any unpaid portion of the Excess Amount after the payments required under the preceding subparagraphs (i) and (ii), the parties shall, at Buyer's direction provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay to USA Buyer the remainder of the Excess Amount from the Transaction Taxes Escrow Fund and/or the Severance Escrow Fund (as elected by Buyer in its sole discretion) by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions to be delivered by USA Buyer to the Escrow Agent.

For purposes of clarification, in the event of a Canadian Closing, any recipient of funds under this Section 2.8.3 shall be responsible for providing its Canadian counterpart with its allocable share thereof, and any payer of funds under this Section 2.8.3 shall be entitled to reimbursement from its Canadian counterpart of its allocable share thereof, and its Canadian counterpart shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of such amount.

2.9 Setoff of Amounts. If at the time that any amounts are owed or otherwise payable to Seller by Buyer under this Agreement (whether at the Applicable Closing or thereafter) there are any Outstanding Royalty Amounts owed or owing by Seller to TDSF, then Buyer, in its sole discretion, may reduce any amounts owed or payable to Seller under this Agreement by an amount equal to any such Outstanding Royalty Amounts owed by Seller to TDSF at such time in satisfaction of such Outstanding Royalty Amounts. For purposes of this Agreement, "Outstanding Royalty Amounts" means any royalty amounts owed to TDSF under the License Agreement in respect of the period from the Applicable Petition Date to the Applicable Closing Date.

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 Tax Proceeding and the availability of employees on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The parties agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Business relating to any taxable period beginning before the Applicable Closing until the expiration of the statute of limitations or, in the case of Canadian Seller, the expiration of any period during which a recognized document assessing liability for Tax may be issued by a Governmental Entity (and, to the extent notified by a party, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the first party shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records to the extent they would otherwise be destroyed or discarded.

Canadian Buyer shall file the election form referred to above, along with any documentation necessary or desirable to give effect thereto, with Canada Revenue Agency on or before the due date for Canadian Buyer's GST return for the reporting period of Canadian Buyer in which the tax would, but for this election, have become payable in respect of the supply of Canadian Acquired Assets.

6.2.3 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements as promptly as practicable, including (i) the prompt preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the taking of such reasonable actions as are necessary, proper or advisable to obtain any requisite Permits, Consents, orders, exemptions or waivers by any Governmental Entity or any other Person, including filings pursuant to the HSR Act, the Competition Act and the Investment Canada Act (in each case, as applicable) and (ii) using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the satisfaction of all conditions to the USA Closing and the Canadian Closing, as applicable; provided that nothing contained herein shall require Buyer to hold separate or divest (including through an independent trustee, if necessary) particular assets or categories of assets, or operations, of the Business, Buyer or any of its Affiliates or agree to any limitations or restrictions on its conduct in order for the Applicable Closing to occur.

Acquired Store Employees and Other Store Employees who have accepted such offers of employment in accordance with the terms of such offers, in each case conditioned upon and effective as of the Applicable Closing, shall constitute "Transferred Employees." Any employees of Seller located in the USA Remaining Stores who are not Transferred Employees will be terminated by Seller or transferred to a business of Seller or its Affiliates other than the USA Remaining Stores, in either case effective upon the USA Closing, and Seller will be responsible for all costs associated with such employees as provided in Section 6.4.2(a).

6.4.2 Obligations to Transferred Employees and Retained Employees.

(a) Seller Obligations. With respect to each Transferred Employee, Seller shall be solely responsible for all liabilities and payment obligations, if required to be paid (including salary, bonus, accrued vacation, equity, health and welfare benefits, contracts, fringe benefits, payroll taxes, severance and other payments), incurred in respect of or relating to periods ending on or before the Applicable Closing Date, and, in order to facilitate payment of such obligations, Seller shall issue, on the Applicable Closing Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, a final payroll check to each Transferred Employee for the period through and including the Applicable Closing Date. In furtherance of and without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall be solely responsible for all termination and severance costs (as applicable) that relate to a Transferred Employee's period of service on or prior to the Applicable Closing Date, whether such costs arise under statute (including applicable employment standards legislation), Contract, Law or otherwise, and regardless of whether the Transferred Employee's employment is terminated after the Applicable Closing Date by Buyer (collectively, "Transferred Employee Severance Costs"). Prior to the Severance Escrow Expiration Date, any Transferred Employee Severance Costs payable to a Transferred Employee who is located in or a resident of Canada shall be paid from (and secured by a court-ordered charge in the Canadian Insolvency Proceeding against) the Severance Escrow Fund, and Buyer and Seller shall provide joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to pay the amount thereof to Seller for remittance to the applicable employees, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions to be delivered by Seller to the Escrow Agent, provided that if the amount of the Severance Escrow Fund is insufficient to pay such amount, the shortfall shall be paid by Seller. Following the Severance Escrow Expiration Date, all such Transferred Employee Severance Costs shall be paid solely by Seller. With respect to each Retained Employee, Seller shall remain solely responsible for all liabilities and payment obligations (including salary, bonus, accrued vacation, equity, health and welfare benefits, contracts, fringe benefits, payroll taxes, severance and other payments) owed to or incurred in respect of each such Retained Employee, including to the extent applicable, compliance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, and Seller shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to offer or cause its Affiliates to offer employment to and hire any Retained Employee in or for any business of Seller or its Affiliates.

6.4.3 COBRA Continuation Coverage. From and after the USA Closing, USA Seller shall be solely responsible (apart from COBRA premiums required to be paid by or with respect to "qualified beneficiaries" as such term is defined in COBRA) for any and all COBRA continuation coverage costs, liabilities and obligations with respect to any Transferred Employees who, at any time before the USA Closing, have lost coverage under any Employee Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by USA Seller or its ERISA Affiliates or to which USA Seller or its ERISA Affiliates are obligated to contribute, which is subject to COBRA, as a result of a "qualifying event" (as defined in COBRA) that occurred on or before the USA Closing Date.

6.4.4 Park Passes. Seller acknowledges and agrees that, as of the USA Closing Date, (i) all "Purple Passes" and other free or complementary admission tickets, passes or other benefits pertaining to the entertainment, recreation and lodging complexes located in Anaheim, California, known as DISNEYLAND^® Resort, and in Orange County and Osceola County, Florida, known as the XXXX DISNEY WORLD® Resort that have been issued to any Retained Employees or Transferred Employees shall be cancelled, and (ii) all such "Purple Passes" or other free or complementary admission tickets, passes or other benefits in the possession of Seller or its Affiliates shall be promptly returned to Buyer.

6.5.1 Wind-Down of USA Remaining Stores.

(a) As of the USA Closing Date, Buyer (directly or through an agent or designated representative) shall take possession and control of each of the USA Remaining Stores for a period of up to two hundred ten (210) days following the filing of the Bankruptcy Case (the "Wind-down Period") for purposes of conducting inventory reduction sales (the "Store Closing Sales") of all inventory located therein. During the Wind-down Period, (i) Buyer shall have sole and absolute discretion regarding the manner in which the Store Closing Sales may be conducted, subject to any applicable Lease covenants or restrictions, (ii) Buyer shall be responsible for paying all obligations that are specifically attributable to the USA Remaining Stores that accrue during the Wind-down Period, including rent, ground lease rent, common area maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, security, obligations under the Transitional Services Agreement and other actual out-of-pocket costs under the USA Remaining Leases (collectively, the "Carrying Costs"), and (iii) Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain all revenues from the Store Closing Sales.

(b) Designation Rights. On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the Designation Rights Agreement, on the USA Closing Date, USA Seller shall convey, assign, transfer and deliver to USA Buyer, and USA Buyer shall accept the conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery from USA Seller, of the Designation Rights in respect of the USA Remaining Stores identified in the Designation Rights Agreement.

6.5.2 Wind-Down of Canadian Retained Stores. Commencing immediately following the earlier to occur of the Canadian Closing and the Expiration Date (the "Canadian Wind-Down Commencement") and ending no later than three (3) months following the Canadian Wind-Down Commencement (such date that is 3 months following the Canadian Wind-Down Commencement or, if earlier, the date of the closure of the last Canadian Retained Store, the "Canadian Final Closure Date"), Canadian Seller shall wind down and terminate the operation of all of the Canadian Retained Stores in accordance with the wind-down provisions contained in Sections 16.4 and 16.6 of the License Agreement, provided that Canadian Seller agrees that (a) for purposes of clarification, for this purpose, the Liquidation Period (as defined in the License Agreement) shall be three (3) months following the Canadian Wind-Down Commencement, (b) during such wind-down period, Buyer shall permit Canadian Seller to use the Business Records and the Business Software to the extent reasonably required by Seller to operate the Canadian Retained Stores and to complete the wind-down, and (c) Canadian Seller shall bear all costs and expenses associated with the wind-down of the Canadian Retained Stores, including any and all landlord consent or termination fees. Prior to the closing of the Canadian Retained Stores, Canadian Seller will, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Canadian Law, operate the Canadian Retained Stores in compliance with the terms of the License Agreement that survive early termination thereof as specified in the first sentence of Section 16.2 of the License Agreement, including payment of all royalties due under Section 7 thereof, provided that, following the Canadian Wind-Down Commencement, (i) royalties shall be payable weekly to TDSF by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (ii) the refurbishment obligations of Seller under Section A of the Refurbishment Amendment to License and Conduct of Business Agreement dated August 29, 2007 (effective as of June 6, 2007), among TDSF, TCP and Seller shall be, and shall be deemed to be, terminated without any further demand, notice or other action on the part of Buyer, TDSF, Seller or their respective Affiliates, and Canadian Seller shall, as of the Canadian Wind-Down Commencement, be released by Buyer, TDSF and their respective Affiliates from any and all obligations pertaining thereto. Canadian Seller shall continue to accept Disney Dollars as a means of payment at the Canadian Retained Stores in accordance with the License Agreement through the wind-down and closure of the Canadian Retained Stores.

6.5.3 Termination of License Agreement. The License Agreement shall terminate for all purposes (i) as to all Stores located in the United States and as to the territory of the United States and its territories and possessions as of the USA Closing Date and (ii) as to all Canadian Retained Stores and as to the territory of Canada as of the Canadian Final Closure Date. Following such termination of the License Agreement, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall have any rights or obligations under the License Agreement, including no right or license to use the Licensed Materials (as defined in the License Agreement), to sell Disney Merchandise, to operate any Facilities (as defined in the License Agreement) or to exercise, use or enjoy any of the other rights or licenses granted by TDSF under the License Agreement. For purposes of clarification, the parties acknowledge that, following the Canadian Final Closure Date, as a result of such termination of the License Agreement, Seller shall no longer be obligated to maintain the Two Million Dollar ($2,000,000) TDSF Self-Help Fund letter of credit required under the License Agreement.

6.5.4 Alternative Canadian Retained Stores Wind-Down. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6.5, at the election of Canadian Buyer in its sole discretion to be exercised by providing written notice to Canadian Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Canadian Closing, Canadian Buyer may treat the Canadian Retained Stores in the same manner as the USA Remaining Stores hereunder, such that Canadian Buyer shall take possession and control of each of the Canadian Retained Stores upon the Canadian Closing for purposes of conducting Store Closing Sales of the inventory located therein, with the obligation of Canadian Buyer to pay Carrying Costs incurred in connection therewith and the right of Canadian Buyer to receive and retain all revenues therefrom, subject to the following adjustments and modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to take effect only in the event of Canadian Buyer's election under this Section 6.5.4:

(a) The Acquired Assets would include (i) the furniture, fixtures, equipment and other tangible personal property located in the Canadian Retained Stores, (ii) the Canadian Retained Stores Inventory as of the Canadian Closing Date, (iii) the Canadian Retained Stores Dollars and Tickets as of the Canadian Closing Date, (iv) cash-on-hand in the Canadian Retained Stores as of the Canadian Closing Date, (v) the Canadian Retained Stores Supplies as of the Canadian Closing Date, and (vi) Permits for the Canadian Retained Stores;

(c) Canadian Buyer would be provided with the opportunity (but not the obligation) to offer employment to the employees of Seller located in the Canadian Retained Stores, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4;

(d) The representations, warranties and covenants of the parties hereunder applicable to the USA Remaining Stores would apply equally to the Canadian Retained Stores (except as otherwise provided in the following subparagraph (e)), and the terms of the Transitional Services Agreement would be applicable to the Canadian Retained Stores in addition to any other Stores specified therein;

(e) For purposes of clarification, the Designation Rights and the Designation Rights Agreement would not apply to the Canadian Retained Stores, but it would be explicitly understood and agreed with respect to the Canadian Retained Leases that by taking possession and control of the Canadian Retained Stores during the Wind-Down Period, Canadian Buyer would not be assuming any Leases or other Contracts with respect thereto and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Canadian Law, Canadian Buyer would only be responsible to Landlords under the Canadian Retained Leases for (i) payment of minimum and other direct occupation costs pursuant to the Canadian Retained Leases, solely for the Wind-Down Period; (ii) any damage to the Canadian Retained Stores as a result of the negligence of Canadian Buyer or for those whom Canadian Buyer is responsible at law; (iii) complying with the reasonable rules and regulations of the Landlords under the Canadian Retained Leases applicable to the Canadian Retained Stores provided that the same do not interfere with Store Closing Sales; and (iv) complying with reasonable insurance requirements of Landlords with respect to Canadian Buyer's activities in the Canadian Retained Stores during the Wind-Down Period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (1) Canadian Buyer would not be responsible for paying any amounts with respect to arrears of rent or accelerated rent no matter how arising under the Canadian Retained Leases, (2) Canadian Buyer would be permitted to remove all remaining inventory and all furniture, fixtures, equipment and other tangible personal property in the Canadian Retained Stores, including machinery, computers, cash registers, tools, parts, supplies and motor vehicles from the Canadian Retained Stores, free and clear of all claims and interference of and from the Landlords and those claiming under them, provided that Canadian Buyer would remain responsible for any damage caused to the Canadian Retained Stores as a result of such removal, and (3) Canadian Buyer would have no obligation to restore the Canadian Retained Stores to the state that existed when the original tenant(s) under the Canadian Retained Leases took possession thereof at the commencement of the term(s) of the Canadian Retained Leases;

(f) The License Agreement would terminate immediately upon the Canadian Closing Date with no obligation on the part of Seller to wind-down the operation of the Canadian Retained Stores; and

(g) Any other appropriate adjustments or modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would be reasonably necessary in order to give effect to the election by Canadian Buyer to treat the Canadian Retained Stores in the same manner as the USA Remaining Stores and as would be satisfactory to Buyer and Seller in their respective business judgment.

Canadian Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, the approval of the Canadian Insolvency Court of the terms of this Section 6.5.4, including subparagraph (e).

6.5.5 Preservation of Claims. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.5 or any other provision of this Agreement, the Mutual Release or the Release Agreement to the contrary, Seller acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in this Agreement, the Mutual Release or the Release Agreement shall constitute a release, discharge or waiver of any claim against Seller that Buyer, TDSF, DEI or their respective Affiliates are entitled to make as an unsecured creditor in the Bankruptcy Proceedings, including claims for royalties due by Seller to TDSF or its Affiliates arising under the License Agreement before the Applicable Petition Date and third party indemnity claims for which Seller is liable to TDSF or its Affiliates under the License Agreement that are pending before the Applicable Petition Date or for which Seller or Buyer has received notice before the Applicable Petition Date (but excluding other claims for other amounts due under the License Agreement arising before the Applicable Petition Date), all of which claims of Buyer, TDSF, DEI and their respective Affiliates are hereby expressly reserved and maintained.

Capitalized terms used in the annexes and schedules (including the Seller Schedules) and not otherwise defined therein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in this Agreement. The inclusion of any information in any Seller Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by any party that such information is required to be listed on such Seller Schedules or is material to or outside the ordinary course of the Business. In addition, no information included in any of the Seller Schedules shall change the characterization of any liability as a Retained Liability.

8.4 Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein, no provision of this Agreement may be modified, supplemented, or amended except by a written instrument duly executed by each of the parties hereto. Any such modifications, supplements or amendments shall not require additional consideration to be effective.

8.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under it are Transferable (directly, indirectly, by operation of law, change of control (e.g., merger, consolidation, amalgamation, stock (or share) sale, sale of substantially all assets), pledge, hypothecation or otherwise) by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent may be granted or withheld in each party's sole discretion. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. No assignment shall release the assignor from any of its obligations hereunder.

8.6 Effect of Headings. The headings and subheadings of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement in any manner.

8.7 Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement and any other agreement or document delivered hereunder may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile signatures to this Agreement and any other agreement or document delivered hereunder (or signatures to such agreements delivered by importable document format or other similar electronic format) shall be effective.

8.8 Publicity and Reports. Seller and Buyer shall coordinate all publicity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and no party shall issue, or permit its Affiliates to issue, any press release, publicity statement or other public notice relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that nothing herein will prohibit either party from issuing or causing publication of any press release, publicity statement or other public notice to the extent that such action is required by, or is determined to be advisable by such party in its business judgment under, applicable Law or the regulations of any securities exchange, securities trading system or similar regulatory body applicable to such party or its Affiliates.

8.9 Confidentiality. Except as otherwise required by any applicable Law or any regulation of any securities exchange, securities trading system or similar regulatory body, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, agree not to disclose to any third party (other than to their Affiliates and their and their Affiliates' Representatives on a need-to-know basis only) or permit any third party to disclose or use (other than the right of Seller or Buyer or their Affiliates or their and their Affiliates' respective Representatives to use for purposes of this Agreement and the Related Agreements) any non-public, confidential or proprietary information (the "Confidential Information") that either party or its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates' Representatives makes available to the other party or its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates' Representatives in connection with this Agreement, including any Confidential Information disclosed by one party to the other party in connection with this Agreement at any time prior to the date hereof. Each of Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, further agree not to use any such Confidential Information of the other in violation of any applicable securities Laws, including prohibitions thereunder pertaining to trading on material inside information. Such Confidential Information shall include the negotiations leading to this Agreement and the Related Agreements, the terms and conditions (including economic, legal and other terms) of this Agreement, the Related Agreements and any agreement referred to herein or therein, information that one party may have caused to deliver to the other party that the delivering party has designated as "Confidential" or "Proprietary" or in like words or information that is generally treated as proprietary (such as financial and operational information), whether or not in written form and whether or not designated as confidential. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes publicly known (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement or any other legal duty by the receiving party, its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates' Representatives), (ii) is lawfully received by the receiving party from a third party on a non-confidential basis, which third party is not to the knowledge of the receiving party bound in a confidential relationship with the disclosing party, (iii) is generated independently by or for the receiving party without the use of Confidential Information of the disclosing party, or (iv) is required by law to be disclosed. If a receiving party, its Affiliates or its or its Affiliates' Representatives are requested or required to disclose any of the Confidential Information of a disclosing party in an investigatory, legal, regulatory or administrative proceeding, such receiving party will, to the extent possible, provide the disclosing party with prompt notice thereof and, except in the case of a Tax Proceeding or the Bankruptcy Proceedings, the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If no such order or remedy is obtained, then the receiving party may, without liability hereunder, disclose in such proceeding that portion of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party that the receiving party's legal counsel has advised the receiving party it is legally required to disclose. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it shall be responsible for any disclosure of Confidential Information by its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates' Representatives that would constitute a breach of this Section 8.9.

8.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement is intended, or shall be deemed, to confer any rights or benefits upon any Person other than the parties hereto or to make or render any such other Person a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, except to the extent that an Affiliate of either party or any officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, successors or assigns of a party or any of its Affiliates have any rights under this Agreement.

8.11 Notices. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, demands, consents and other communications hereunder shall be transmitted in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given when hand delivered, or upon delivery when sent by express mail, courier or other recognized overnight mail or next day delivery service, charges prepaid, or three (3) Business Days following the date mailed when sent by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or when deposited with a public telegraph company for immediate transmittal, charges prepaid, or when sent by facsimile, with a confirmation copy sent by recognized overnight mail or next day delivery, charges prepaid, addressed as follows:

8.14 Waivers.

Neither the failure to insist upon strict performance of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions hereof, nor the acceptance of monies due hereunder with knowledge of a breach of this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that either party hereto may have or a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in any of such agreements, terms, covenants and conditions.

8.15 Construction. This Agreement has been fully reviewed and negotiated by the parties hereto and their respective counsel. Accordingly, in interpreting this Agreement, no weight shall be placed upon which party hereto or its counsel drafted the provision being interpreted and prior drafts of this Agreement shall be disregarded and inadmissible as proof or indication of the intent of the parties or for any other purpose in the event of any other controversy regarding the meaning, construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

8.16 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement shall be found to be void or contrary to applicable Law, such term or provision shall be deemed to be severable from the other terms and provisions hereof, but only to the extent necessary to bring this Agreement within the requirements of such Law, and the remainder of this Agreement shall be given effect as if the parties had not included the severed term herein; provided, that if the party that would be adversely affected by such severance demonstrates that a material inducement to its entering into this Agreement would be materially impaired, such party shall be entitled to seek an adjudication that this Agreement should be terminated on that ground.

8.17 Governing Law; Venue; Remedies; Waiver of Jury Trial.

8.17.1 Except to the extent that certain matters may be governed by United States federal law, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been entered into in the State of California and shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements executed and to be performed therein by each party hereto.

8.17.2 After the Applicable Closing Date, any legal proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement, the Related Agreements or any other related agreement shall be submitted for trial exclusively before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California with respect to matters relating to USA Seller or USA Buyer and before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice with respect to matters relating to Canadian Seller or Canadian Buyer, and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of each such court and consent to service of process outside of the State of California and the Province of Ontario pursuant to the requirements of each such court in any matter subject to it.

8.17.3 Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any breach or prospective breach of this Agreement, the remedies of each party shall include, without limitation, money damages (if and to the extent available), any form of equitable relief, including any temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, permanent injunction, specific performance or any other form of relief in equity (if such relief is available and such party is able to satisfy the requirements necessary to obtain such relief), and any other right or remedy available to such party as a result of such breach under this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise. The parties acknowledge and agree that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for a breach of this Agreement and that a non-breaching party may, in its sole discretion, apply for a temporary restraining order, a preliminary injunction, a permanent injunction, specific performance or other form of equitable relief (without the posting of any bond or other security) as may be just and proper in order to enforce the applicable provision of this Agreement or prevent any violation thereof. Any such equitable relief shall not be exclusive and any party seeking such relief shall also be entitled to seek and enforce any other right or remedy available to it, including money damages.

8.17.4 WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO DEMAND A JURY TRIAL.

EACH PARTY FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER.

8.19 Release Agreement. Seller and Buyer shall, on or prior to the USA Closing Date, enter into a mutual release agreement (the "Release Agreement"), by and between Buyer and Seller, substantially in the form to be attached hereto as Annex L after the preparation thereof and approval thereof by the parties in their respective business judgment.

GUARANTEE BY DEI

Disney Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Guarantor"), acknowledges that it owns a material interest, directly or indirectly, in USA Buyer and Canadian Buyer and therefore stands to benefit substantially from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, as a material inducement to Seller to enter into this Agreement, which Seller would not have done in the absence of this guarantee, Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Seller the full and timely performance of all of the financial obligations of Buyer under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any amendments, modifications, extensions or compromises thereof, required to be performed by Buyer (collectively, the "Obligations"). Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that: (i) Upon demand from Seller, the obligations of Guarantor shall become immediately due and payable, without demand, presentment, protest, notice of acceptance, or notice of any obligations incurred, each of which is expressly waived by Guarantor; (ii) this guarantee shall be binding upon Guarantor notwithstanding the addition, substitution or release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable for any Obligation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or other inability to pay or perform of Buyer, or any other act or omission that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of Guarantor; and (iii) Guarantor shall not, until the final payment and performance in full of all Obligations, exercise any rights against Buyer arising as a result of payment by Guarantor hereunder, by way of subrogation, reimbursement, restitution, setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or otherwise. Guarantor represents and warrants to Seller that this guarantee has been duly and validly executed by Guarantor and constitutes the legally valid and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned thereto in the Agreement. The terms of Article VIII of the Agreement are hereby incorporated into this guarantee as if set forth in full herein, with the exception that references to "Buyer" therein shall be deemed to be references to "Guarantor" for purposes of this guarantee. This guarantee shall terminate and be rendered null and void (i) in the event of the termination of this Agreement prior to the USA Closing or (ii) one (1) year following the USA Closing Date.
