Section 1.3. Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company and RG will cause the Certificate of Merger to be duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DLLCA and shall take all such reasonable further actions as may be required by Law to make the Merger effective. The Merger shall become effective on the Closing Date at the time when the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date and time as RG and the Company may agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DLLCA (the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.4. Conversion of the RG Units. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of RG, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of RG Units, the RG Units shall be converted into the right to receive an aggregate of $81,000,000 in cash (the “Aggregate Cash Consideration”) and 8,870,968 shares (after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split) of Company Common Stock (the “Aggregate Stock Consideration” and, together with the Aggregate Cash Consideration, the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”) as follows:

(a) Except as provided in Section 1.4(c), each RG Unit issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger, and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted automatically into the right to receive, upon surrender of the Certificate representing such RG Unit as provided in Section 1.9, such portion of (i) Aggregate Cash Consideration less the RG Payoff Amount (such amount, the “Actual Cash Consideration”) and (ii) the Aggregate Stock Consideration ((i) and (ii) collectively, the “Actual Merger Consideration”) as indicated in the Merger Consideration Schedule. The Merger Consideration Schedule shall be delivered by RG to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date and the allocations reflected thereon shall be in accordance with RG’s limited liability company agreement as of the Effective Time.

(b) All RG Units, when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of RG Units shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Actual Merger Consideration into which such RG Units have been converted, as provided herein.

(c) Each RG Unit that is owned by RG or by any Subsidiary of RG and each RG Unit owned by the Company, Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be retired and cease to exist and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(d) Each common unit of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued common unit of the Surviving Company and shall constitute the only outstanding equity of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.5. Organizational Documents. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the Merger, the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company shall be amended to read in its entirety the same as the limited liability company agreement of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that the name of the Surviving Company shall remain “RG Parent, LLC”. Thereafter, the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company may be amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by Law.

Section 1.6. Officers of the Surviving Company. The officers of RG shall continue in office as the officers of the Surviving Company, and such officers shall hold office until successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with and subject to applicable Law and the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.7. Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to RG (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging the Certificates for the Merger Consideration and for such other purposes as otherwise provided herein. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Exchange Agent shall be paid by the Company, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

Section 1.8. Payments.

(a) (i) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide RG with customary payoff letters and forms of Lien releases, in form reasonably satisfactory to RG, with respect to all Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries described in clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) and (f) of the definition of Indebtedness, including, but not limited to, that Indebtedness set forth on Section 1.8(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. At the Closing, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid (A) to the holders of such Indebtedness (other than the holders of the Convertible Notes), the outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest through the Closing Date and prepayment or other penalties or premiums, if any, owed with respect to such Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (B) to the holders of Convertible Notes, the cash, Company Common Stock and modified convertible notes in exchange for their Convertible Notes in accordance with the Rollover Letters (collectively, the “Company Payoff Amount”). (ii) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, RG shall provide the Company with customary payoff letters and forms of Lien releases, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, with respect to all Indebtedness of RG and its Subsidiaries described in clauses (a), (b), (d), (e) and (f) of the definition of Indebtedness, including, but not limited to, that Indebtedness set forth on Section 1.8(a) of the RG Disclosure Schedule (the “RG Debt”). At the Closing, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the holders of such Indebtedness, the outstanding principal amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest through the Closing Date and prepayment or other penalties or premiums, if any, owed with respect to such Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “RG Payoff Amount”).

(b) At the Effective Time, the Company shall cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent cash and Company Common Stock in the aggregate amount required to pay the Actual Merger Consideration in respect of the RG Units (such cash amounts being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall be used solely for purposes of paying the Actual Merger Consideration in respect of the RG Units in accordance with Section 1.9 and shall not be used to satisfy any other obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Pending distribution of the Exchange Fund in accordance with Section 1.9, the Exchange Agent may invest such cash, provided that such investments are Permitted Investments and shall have maturities that will not prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to Section 1.9. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable solely to the Company. If the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the amount required to make prompt payment of the Actual Merger Consideration, then the Company and Merger Sub shall, jointly and severally, promptly cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent the amount necessary to replace or restore the lost portion of the Exchange Fund to ensure that it is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

Section 1.9. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Procedures.

(i) As soon as practicable (but not more than one (1) day) after the Effective Time, the Company and the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Certificates that were subsequently converted into the right to receive the Actual Merger Consideration, as set forth in Section 1.4: (A) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”), the form and substance of which shall be reasonably agreed to by the Company and RG at least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date, which shall, among other things, specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Surviving Company (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof, together with any bond or indemnity agreement, as contemplated by Section 1.9(e); and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the applicable Actual Merger Consideration.

(ii) Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Surviving Company, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed (A) the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable amount of (1) cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (2) shares of Company Common Stock, in each case equal to the portion of the Actual Merger Consideration for each RG Unit represented by such Certificate in accordance with the Merger Consideration Schedule and (B) the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Actual Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.9(a), each such Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Actual Merger Consideration. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.9 to the contrary, RG Units that are in non-certificate book-entry form immediately prior to the Effective Time will, at the Effective Time, be deemed to be automatically surrendered for all purposes hereunder.

(iii) In the event of a valid transfer of ownership of RG Units prior to the Effective Time that is not registered in the transfer records of RG, the appropriate amount of the Actual Merger Consideration may be paid to the applicable transferee if (i) in the case of certificated RG Units, the Certificate representing such RG Units is presented to the Surviving Company properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate unit power and otherwise in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all customary documents reasonably required by the Surviving Company to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable Taxes have been paid or (ii) in the case of non-certificate book-entry RG Units, a properly endorsed and appropriate unit power is presented to the Surviving Company and accompanied by all customary documents reasonably required by the Surviving Company to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable Taxes have been paid.

(b) No Further Ownership Rights. All Actual Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of the Certificates representing RG Units in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.9 shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such RG Units and, after the Effective Time, the unit transfer books of RG shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers on the unit transfer books of the Surviving Company of the RG Units that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 1.9.

(c) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the former RG Members on the date twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered by the Exchange Agent to the Surviving Company upon demand, and any former holder of RG Units who has not theretofore received any applicable Actual Merger Consideration to which such holder of RG Units is entitled under this Section 1.9 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of their claim for Actual Merger Consideration without any interest thereon and only as a general creditor thereof.

(d) No Liability. None of the Company, the Surviving Company or Merger Sub shall be liable to any holder of RG Units for any part of the Actual Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such RG Units at such date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Order, become the property of the Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Company may direct or the execution and delivery by such Person of an indemnity agreement in such form as the Surviving Company may direct, in each case as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Surviving Company shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the appropriate amount of the Actual Merger Consideration.

(f) Withholding of Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company, the Surviving Company or any Affiliate thereof shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as the Company, the Surviving Company or any Affiliate thereof are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law (including any income Tax Law or other Tax Law). To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Company, any Affiliate or the Company, such withheld amounts shall be (i) paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law or Order and (ii) treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Company, any Affiliate thereof or the Company, as the case may be.

(g) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of the Company Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and each holder of RG Units who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Company Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Company Common Stock which such holder would otherwise receive) shall, upon compliance with Section 1.9(a), receive from the Company, in lieu of such fractional share, the amount of cash equal to the fair market value of such fractional share.

Section 1.10. Tax Treatment. The parties agree to treat the Merger as a transfer of the Voting Common Units and Non-Voting Common Units in exchange for the Actual Merger Consideration for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is subject to Section 351 of the Code (unless otherwise required by applicable Law). The parties shall file all Tax Returns (and cause their respective Affiliates to file all Tax Returns) consistently with this Section 1.10 and shall not take any position during the course of any audit or other legal proceeding that is inconsistent with this Section 1.10, unless required by a determination of the applicable taxing authority that is final.

The Company is not in violation of or default under any of the provisions of the Company Charter Documents.

HSR Act and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, as promptly as practicable all other actions consistent with this Section 4.3 necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any applicable foreign Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable and (ii) the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar Law is or becomes applicable to any of the Transactions and (B) if any state takeover statute or similar Law becomes applicable to any of the Transactions, take all action necessary to ensure that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such Law on the Transactions.

(c) Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or any filing by such party with or material communication given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, or any other Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions (including, in the case of written correspondence or filings, by promptly providing the other parties (or their counsel) copies thereof), and (iii) consult with each other in advance of and be permitted to attend any meeting or conference (including teleconference) with such Governmental Authorities (to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authorities; provided that such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain such permission). Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each of the parties hereto shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each will consult the other on, any filing made with, or written materials submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions. RG and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 4.3 as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (RG or the Company, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.

Section 4.4. Spinoff Transaction. The parties acknowledge that the Company has entered into agreements to sell certain assets of the Joe’s Jeans business to certain third parties pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreements (the “Asset Sale Transactions”). The Company shall use (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use) its reasonable best efforts to promptly (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to the closing of the Asset Sale Transactions to be satisfied and to consummate and make effective the Asset Sale Transactions, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements,

registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents (including any required or recommended filings under applicable Antitrust Laws) and (ii) obtain all approvals, consents, waivers, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Asset Sale Transactions, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all filings, notices, and other documents necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the foregoing. With respect to the Asset Sale Transactions, and the termination of employment of current or former Joe’s Employees in connection therewith, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall make all required payments for any wages, services, or amounts required to be reimbursed or otherwise paid to current or former Joe’s Employees as required by applicable Laws. With respect to the Asset Sale Transactions, the parties acknowledge and agree that the consummation, timing and structure of the Asset Sale Transactions shall occur in a manner that takes into account U.S. federal income tax considerations and minimizes any U.S. federal income tax.

Section 4.5. Preparation of Proxy Statement/Form S-4 Registration Statement; Stockholders’ Meeting.

(a) As promptly as practicable, and in no event later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Company and RG shall prepare the Proxy Statement and the Form S-4 Registration Statement, in which the Proxy Statement will be included, with respect to (i) the adoption of an amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized shares of Company Common Stock and to effect the Reverse Stock Split and (ii) the approval of the issuance of Company Common Stock in connection with the Merger and the issuance of Company Common Stock upon the conversion of Company Preferred Stock in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, and cause it to be filed with the SEC. The Company and RG shall each furnish all information concerning it and the holders of its capital stock or other equity as the other may reasonably request in connection with the preparation of the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement and any amendment thereto. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Form S-4 Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff, and to have the Form S-4 Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Transactions to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

(b) If at any time prior to the Effective Time either Party becomes aware of any event or circumstance which is required to be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Form S-4 Registration Statement or Proxy Statement, it shall promptly inform the other Party.

(c) The Company will notify RG in writing promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Form S-4 Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment thereto has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, or any request by the staff of the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or Form S-4 Registration Statement or comments thereon or responses thereto. Each of RG, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that if it becomes aware that any information furnished by it would cause any of the statements in the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 Registration Statement to be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not false or misleading, to promptly inform the other parties and to take appropriate steps to correct the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4 Registration Statement.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) qualify the Company Common Stock under the Blue Sky Laws of such jurisdictions as may be required and (ii) apply for and obtain a NASDAQ listing with respect to such Company Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified, (y) file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction or (z) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction in which it is not so subject.

(e) As promptly as practicable after the Proxy Statement Clearance Date, the Company shall, in accordance with applicable Law, its constituent documents and the rules of NASDAQ (i) establish a record date for and give notice of a meeting of Company Stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Meeting”), and (ii) mail to the Company Stockholders as of the record date established for the Stockholders’ Meeting a Proxy Statement (the date the Company elects to take such action or is required to take such action, the “Proxy Date”). The Company shall duly call, convene and hold the Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Date; provided, however, that in no event shall such meeting be held later than sixty (60) days following the date the Proxy Statement is mailed to the Company Stockholders other than in the case in which the Company is required to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the SEC or its staff or a court of competent jurisdiction has instructed the Company is necessary under applicable Law or Order and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock prior to the Stockholders’ Meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company (A) shall adjourn or postpone the Stockholders’ Meeting if as of the time for which the Stockholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders’ Meeting or insufficient proxies returned to obtain the Company Stockholder Approval and (B) may otherwise only adjourn or postpone the Stockholders’ Meeting after consultation with RG, and with RG’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to the Company Stockholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Stockholders’ Meeting. Once the Company has established a record date for the Stockholders’ Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Stockholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of RG (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required to

do so by applicable Law or the Company Charter Documents. The Company shall ensure that all proxies solicited in connection with the Stockholders’ Meeting are solicited in compliance with all applicable Laws (including all applicable rules of NASDAQ) and, unless the Company Board shall have made a Change in Recommendation in accordance with Section 4.2(f), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies in favor of the Company Proposal. Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, unless this Agreement shall have been properly terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company shall (x) submit this Agreement to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock as promptly as reasonably practicable for the purpose of obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval at the Stockholders’ Meeting and (y) not submit any Takeover Proposal for approval by the shareholders of the Company. The Company shall, upon the reasonable request of RG, advise RG in writing at least on a daily basis on each of the last ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the Stockholders’ Meeting as to the aggregate tally of proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Stockholder Approval.

Section 4.6. Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by RG and the Company. Except for a Change in Recommendation permitted pursuant to Section 4.2(f) or any communication contemplated by Section 4.2(g), neither the Company nor RG shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement or the other Transactions without the prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by Law, judicial or regulatory process or by any applicable listing agreement with, or applicable rules of, a national securities exchange or NASDAQ as determined in the good faith judgment of the party proposing to make such release (in which case such party shall allow the other party to comment on such press release or public announcement in advance of such issuance or publication).

Section 4.7. Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to RG and RG’s Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement, to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities and to the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records and xxxxxxx XX and its Representatives with such financial and operating data and other information with respect to the business, personnel, properties and Contracts of the Company and its Subsidiaries as RG may from time to time reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Company shall not be required to afford such access if it would cause a violation of any Material Contract or would cause a loss of attorney/client privilege to the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries or would constitute a violation of any applicable Laws, provided that the Company shall have used reasonable best efforts to make such disclosure in a form or manner that would not jeopardize such privilege or protection or violate such Law or

contractual restriction (including by redacting or otherwise not disclosing any portion thereof the disclosure of which would jeopardize such privilege or entering into a joint defense agreement) and (y) any such investigation or consultation shall be conducted in such a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by such officers of their normal duties. The information provided will be subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of February 17, 2015, between TCP and the Company, as amended (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

(b) No investigation, or information received, pursuant to this Section 4.7 will modify any of the representations and warranties of the Company.

Section 4.8. Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt notice to RG, and RG shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (i) any notice or other communication received by such party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions, (ii) any actions, suits, claims, investigations or proceedings commenced or, to such party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such party or any of its Subsidiaries which relate to the Transactions, (iii) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or nonoccurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, is reasonably likely to (A) in the case of the Company, cause the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) not to be satisfied and (B) in the case of RG, cause the conditions set forth in Section 5.3(a) or Section 5.3(b) not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.8 shall not (x) cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any provision of this Agreement or (y) limit the remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

Section 4.9. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Company shall and, to the extent applicable, shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines, penalties and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), to which such Indemnitee is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved by reason of the fact that such Indemnitee is or was a director, manager or officer, as applicable, of the Company or RG or any of their respective Subsidiaries or, while a director, manager or officer, as applicable, of the Company or RG or any of their respective Subsidiaries, such Indemnitee is or was serving at the request of the Company or RG or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, as a director, manager, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (including with respect to this Agreement, the negotiation, execution, announcement, performance and consummation of all Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all acts or

omissions of each Indemnitee leading thereto and in furtherance thereof on behalf of the Company, the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, RG or the holders of RG Units, as applicable), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In the event of any such Action after the Effective Time, (A) each Indemnitee will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such Action from the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries), as applicable, within ten (10) calendar days of receipt by the Company from the Indemnitee of a written request therefor; provided, however, that, if required by the DGCL, the Company Charter Documents or the organizational and governing documents of a Subsidiary of the Company, as applicable, any Indemnitee to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries), as applicable, pursuant to the DGCL, (B) the Company shall have the right to assume the defense of any such matter with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee, with such Indemnitee’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld, (C) if the Company assumes the defense of any such matter, the Company shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any proceeding or threatened Action (and in which indemnification or advancements could be sought by such Indemnitee hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such Action or such Indemnitee otherwise consents in writing and (D) notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Indemnitee reasonably concludes that a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Company or between Indemnitee and another Indemnitee who is defended by the Company with the same counsel as counsel representing Indemnitee, or if the Company fails to assume the defense of such proceeding, such Indemnitee may retain one (1) independent legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, and the Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnitee promptly after statements therefor are received. For purposes of this Agreement, “Indemnitee” means each individual who is or was a director, manager or officer of the Company or RG or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws or similar organizational or governing documents of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of Indemnitees for the period prior to and including the Effective Time than are currently set forth in the Company Charter Documents and the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or similar organizational and governing documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries, respectively; provided, however, that, from and after the Effective Time, no director, manager, officer, employee or agent of RG or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation for the period prior to and including the Effective Time that are less favorable than are currently set forth in the applicable certificate of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational and governing documents of RG or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) The Company shall and, to the extent applicable, shall cause each of the its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) to maintain and extend all existing officers’ and directors’ liability insurance of the Company and, to the extent applicable, its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries) (“D&O Insurance”) for a period of not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from acts, omissions, facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions; provided, however, that the Company may substitute therefor policies of substantially equivalent coverage and amounts containing terms no less favorable to the Indemnitees than the existing D&O Insurance (so long as such policies are provided by the Company’s current insurance carrier or by a carrier with a rating no lower than A.M. Best rating of A); and provided, further, that if the existing D&O Insurance expires or is terminated or canceled during such period through no fault of the Company, then the Company shall obtain and maintain substantially similar D&O Insurance (with such replacement policies to be provided by the Company’s current insurance carrier or by a carrier with a rating no lower than A.M. Best rating of A). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to pay aggregate premiums for insurance under this Section 4.9(c) in excess of 300% of the most recent aggregate annual premiums paid by the Company for such purpose (the “Maximum Amount”); and provided, further, that if the Company is unable to obtain the amount of insurance required by this Section 4.9(c) for such aggregate premium, the Company shall obtain as much insurance as can be obtained for aggregate premiums not in excess of the Maximum Amount. At the Company’s option, it may elect to obtain prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies prior to the Effective Time covering a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to acts, omissions, facts or events occurring on or prior to the Effective Time. Any such “tail” or “runoff” policy purchased by the Company shall be in lieu of all other obligations of the Company in the first sentence of this Section 4.9(c) for so long as any such tail or runoff policy remains in full force and effect. In the event the Company purchases a “tail” or “runoff” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain such tail or runoff policy in full force and effect for its term.

(d) The rights of each Indemnitee hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnitee may have under the certificates of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational or governing documents of the Company or RG or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company), any indemnification or other agreements of the Company or RG or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company), the DGCL or otherwise. Subsequent amendment of the certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or governing documents of the Company or RG or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company) or any indemnification or other agreements of the Company or RG or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including, following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company) shall not diminish or impair the rights of any Indemnitee thereunder or hereunder.

(e) In the event the Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then and in each such case, provision shall be made so that such continuing or surviving company or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, shall assume all of the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 4.9. In addition, the Company shall not distribute, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its assets in a manner that would reasonably be expected to render the Company unable to satisfy its obligations under this Section 4.9.

(f) The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall survive the consummation of the Transactions. Each Indemnitee (and his or her respective representatives, executors, administrators, spouse, estate, successors and heirs) are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.9, and this Section 4.9 shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnitee (including his or her respective representatives, executors, administrators, spouse, estate, successors and heirs) or terminated without the consent of such Indemnitee (including his or her respective representatives, executors, administrators, spouse, estate, successors and heirs) affected thereby.

Section 4.10. Fees and Expenses; Taxes.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Financing, the Stock Purchase Agreement and filings made under the HSR Act) shall be paid or reimbursed by the Company upon consummation of the Transactions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3(b), if the Transactions are not consummated, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, which, for the avoidance of doubt, means that the Company shall pay all fees and expense incurred in connection with the filings made under the HSR Act.

(b) Other than any income or withholding Taxes imposed upon a holder of RG Units or RG Debt, the Company shall pay all Taxes incident to preparing for, entering into and carrying out this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger (including (a) transfer, stamp and documentary Taxes or fees and (b) sales, use, gains, real property transfer and other or similar Taxes or fees).

Section 4.11. Rule 16b-3. The Company, Merger Sub and RG shall take all such steps as may be reasonably requested by any party hereto to cause the transactions contemplated by Article I and any other acquisitions of equity securities of the Company in connection with this Agreement by each individual who (a) is a director or officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, or (b) at the Effective Time is or will become a director, officer or ten percent (10%) shareholder of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 4.12. Employee Benefits.

(a) Except as set forth on Section 4.12(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Company shall provide, or cause to be provided to, employees of the Company and RG and each of their respective Subsidiaries, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, who continue as employees of the Company or the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries immediately following the Effective Time (a “Continuing Employee”), for a period extending until the earlier of the termination of such Continuing Employee’s employment with such entities or twelve (12) months following the Closing Date (i) a base wage or salary substantially similar to such base wage or salary in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) 401(k) benefits, severance benefit eligibility, medical benefits and other welfare benefit plans, programs and arrangements (excluding any equity and equity-based arrangements) that (A) in the case of Continuing Employees that were employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those provided under the Company Benefits Plans as in effect at the Effective Time and (B) in the case of Continuing Employees that were employed by RG or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time, are substantially comparable to those provided to employees of RG or its Subsidiaries, in the aggregate, from time to time. The provisions of this Section 4.12 shall not be construed or interpreted to restrict in any way the Surviving Company’s or the Company’s ability to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefits Plan or RG Benefits Plan (including to change the entities who administer such Company Benefits Plans or RG Benefits Plan, as applicable, or the manner in which such Company Benefits Plans or RG Benefits Plans, as applicable, are administered) to the extent not inconsistent with such foregoing restrictions or any other plan made available to the Continuing Employees or to terminate any Person’s employment at any time or for any reason.

(b) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall, after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, (i) provide any and all notices to, (ii) make any and all filings or registrations with, and (iii) obtain any and all consents or approvals of, any labor organization, works council or any similar entity, council or organization, required to be made or obtained in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions.

(c) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.6, nothing contained in this Section 4.12 shall confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto, any rights or remedies or any right to employment or continued employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to amend or modify any compensation or benefit plan, policy, agreement or arrangement sponsored or maintained by RG, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 4.13. Financing.

(a) RG shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions (including, if applicable, any “market flex” provisions contained in the related fee letter) described in the Debt Commitment Letters with respect to the conditionality, timing, availability, and aggregate amount of the Financing (including the amounts to be funded thereunder at the Closing). RG shall not

permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letters without the Company’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Financing to an amount below the amount required to satisfy the applicable payment obligations of the Company under this Agreement, (ii) impairs in any material respect the availability of the Financing, (iii) amends the conditions precedent to the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to delay in any material respect or prevent the Closing, or (iv) adversely impacts in any material respect the ability of RG to enforce or cause the enforcement of the rights of RG under the Debt Commitment Letters (provided, that RG may amend, supplement or replace the Debt Commitment Letters to add or replace lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, agents or similar entities so long as such action would not reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the Closing). RG shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts (i) to maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letters until the funding of the Financing at or prior to Closing and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letters (including, if applicable, giving effect to any “market flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) (or on terms no less favorable (taken as a whole) to RG, as applicable), (ii) to satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to receipt of the Financing that are within RG’s control, (iii) upon satisfaction of such conditions and the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 and Section 5.2, to consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing (with respect to amounts required to consummate the Merger and make other payments due at such time in accordance with the terms hereof) and (iv) to comply in all material respects with its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letters.

(b) If any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including, if applicable, “market flex” provisions) contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, (i) RG shall promptly notify the Company and (ii) RG shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Transactions with terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable in any respect from the standpoint of RG (as reasonably determined by RG) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters and any related fee letters as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event (the “Alternative Debt Financing”). RG shall promptly provide a true, correct and complete copy of each alternative financing commitment letter in respect of such Alternative Debt Financing (“New Debt Commitment Letter”) to the Company. In the event any New Debt Commitment Letters are obtained, (i) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” shall include the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to clause (ii) below, (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Commitment Letters” or the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letters that are not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letters at the time in question and the New Debt Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect, and (iii) any reference in this Agreement to “fee letter” shall be deemed to include any fee letter relating to the Debt Commitment Letters that are not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letters at the time in question and the New Debt Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect.

(c) Upon the Company’s request, RG shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and provide to the Company copies of the material definitive documents for the Financing. RG shall give the Company prompt notice: (i) of any breach of any material provisions of the Debt Commitment Letters by any party to the Debt Commitment Letters related to the Financing of which RG has knowledge; and (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from a financing source for the Financing with respect to any actual breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing or any material provisions of the Debt Commitment Letters or any definitive document related to the Financing; provided, that in each case, in no event will RG be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to attorney-client or similar privilege if RG shall have used its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a manner that would not waive such privilege.

Section 4.14. Financing Cooperation.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Effective Time, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives to, provide to RG all cooperation that is reasonably requested by RG in connection with the debt and equity financings (including without limitation, any portion of the contemplated Financing) the proceeds of which shall be used to consummate the Transactions, which cooperation shall include, in any event:

(i) participation in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), drafting sessions, sessions with prospective lenders and sessions with rating agencies;

(ii) making the Company’s officers reasonably available to assist the Debt Financing Parties;

(iii) cooperating reasonably with the Debt Financing Parties’ due diligence, to the extent customary and reasonable;

(iv) assisting RG and the Debt Financing Parties with the preparation of customary materials for rating agency presentations (and assisting in the obtaining of corporate, credit and facility ratings from ratings agencies), offering documents, bank information memoranda (including the delivery of customary authorization and representation letters authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors and containing a representation that the public side

versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries or securities), and all other material required in connection with the Financing and all documentation and other information reasonably required in connection with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act; provided, that prior to the Closing, the Company shall provide all such documentation and information about the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested in writing by RG to the extent required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including the USA PATRIOT Act;

(v) assisting with the preparation of, and executing and delivering, any pledge and security documents, any loan agreement, notes, other definitive financing documents (including a certificate of the chief financial officer with respect to solvency of the Company and its Subsidiaries after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby), legal opinions, or documents as may be reasonably requested by RG in connection with the Financing;
