2.2 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) Cash Closing Payment. At Closing, the Buyer shall pay in accordance with this Section 2.2 an aggregate amount in cash equal to the product of (i) 90%, multiplied by (ii) the Closing Price (such product, the “Cash Closing Price”). The Buyer shall pay the Escrow Amount and the Secondary Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent, and the Buyer shall reduce the Cash Closing Price payable to the Sellers by the Escrow Amount and the Secondary Escrow Amount (the Cash Closing Price as reduced by the Escrow Amount and the Secondary Escrow Amount, the “Cash Closing Payment”). The Buyer shall pay to each Seller an amount equal to the product of (x) such Seller’s Allocation Percentage multiplied by (y) the Cash Closing Payment, such payment to be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such Seller’s account specified in writing by the Shareholder Representative not later than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing. Each Seller hereby agrees that the Buyer shall have no responsibility to see to

Each share of MFRM Stock issued to the Sellers will reflect the restrictive legends set forth in Exhibit A-1 if and only if the MFRM Stock is issued pursuant to the section 4(2) exemption from registration under the Securities Act. Each share of MFRM Stock that is issued to Xxxxxxxx Trust or Xxxxxxx Trust will reflect the restrictive legends set forth in Exhibit A-1, if applicable, and the restrictive legends set forth in Exhibit A-2. Fractional shares will not be issued and in lieu thereof the Buyer will pay in cash to each Seller in respect of any such fractional share the value thereof, based on the Share Price. The shares of MFRM Stock issued to any Seller will not bear the restrictive legends set forth in Exhibit A-1 if the MFRM Stock is issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act.

(c) Escrow Amount and Secondary Escrow Amount. At Closing, the Buyer shall deposit the Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Escrow Agent, such Escrow Amount to be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated account in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Account”). At Closing, the Buyer shall deposit the Secondary Escrow Amount with the Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Escrow Agent, such Secondary Escrow Amount to be held by the Escrow Agent in a segregated account separate and apart from the Escrow Account for the sole and exclusive benefit of and access and recourse by the Shareholder Representative, acting on behalf of the Sellers, in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (the “Secondary Escrow Account”).

2.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Net Working Capital. At least five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, the Shareholder Representative shall deliver to the Buyer its good faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Company’s most recent fiscal period end for which the books are closed (such books shall be closed not later than fifteen (15) days after the end of the applicable period) (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”). The Buyer shall be given access to the books and records and other information of the Company and the opportunity to consult with the Shareholder Representative for purposes of confirming or disputing the Estimated Net Working Capital; provided, however, that if the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer cannot agree on the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Estimated Net Working Capital shall be deemed to be equal to the arithmetic mean of the Shareholder Representative’s and the Buyer’s respective good faith determinations thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, no adjustments to the Closing Price, including any calculations of Estimated Net Working Capital or Final Net Working Capital, will double count any amounts used in determining the Closing Price or any adjustments thereto.

(b) Final Net Working Capital. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall submit to the Shareholder Representative its written calculations,

prepared in accordance with GAAP and the Working Capital Methodology (with the addition of new line items thereto as may be required by changes in Current Assets or Current Liabilities) of the Net Working Capital as of the Sunday immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Final Net Working Capital”), accompanied by the Buyer’s work papers supporting such calculations and Company’s balance sheet as of 11:59 p.m. on the Sunday immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Final Balance Sheet”). The Shareholder Representative and his representatives shall be provided access, during normal business hours following reasonable advance notice and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Buyer or the Company, to all materials, records (including work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents) and personnel of the Buyer or the Company reasonably necessary for the Shareholder Representative to verify the amount of the Final Net Working Capital. The Final Net Working Capital and the Final Balance Sheet submitted by the Buyer to the Shareholder Representative shall become final and binding upon the Buyer and the Sellers thirty (30) days after delivery thereof to the Shareholder Representative (the “Purchase Price Review Period”), unless the Shareholder Representative, within the Purchase Price Review Period, provides written notice to the Buyer disputing the amount of the Final Net Working Capital or the Final Balance Sheet, specifying in reasonable detail the amount, nature and basis of all disputed items (the “Protest Letter”), in which case the Final Net Working Capital and the Final Balance Sheet of the Company shall not be binding upon the parties and such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to Section 2.3(c).

(c) Dispute. If the Shareholder Representative delivers to the Buyer a Protest Letter in accordance with Section 2.3(b), the Buyer and the Shareholder Representative shall attempt to resolve the matter(s) in dispute in good faith. If any such dispute cannot be resolved by the Buyer and the Shareholder Representative within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Protest Letter, then the specific matter(s) in dispute shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties, which firm shall render its opinion as to such matter(s). Based on such opinion, such independent accounting firm will then send to the Buyer and the Shareholder Representative its determination on the specific matter(s) in dispute, which determination shall be final and binding on the Buyer and the Sellers. If, after taking into account the independent accounting firm’s determination, the Final Net Working Capital is less than the sum of (i) the Final Net Working Capital proposed by the Buyer plus (ii) 10% of the absolute value of the Final Net Working Capital proposed by the Buyer, then the fees and other costs charged by such independent accounting firm shall be borne by the Sellers. If, after taking into account the independent accounting firm’s determination, the Final Net Working Capital is greater than or equal to the sum of (i) the Final Net Working Capital proposed by the Buyer plus (ii) 10% of the absolute value of the Final Net Working Capital proposed by the Buyer, then the fees and other costs charged by such independent accounting firm shall be borne by the Buyer.

(d) Final Adjustment. Not later than five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Net Working Capital in accordance with this Section 2.3, (i) if the amount of the Final Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, then the Buyer shall pay to each Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the product of (A) such Seller’s Allocation Percentage multiplied by (B) the amount by which the Final Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, and (ii) if the amount of the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Sellers shall pay to the Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated

Net Working Capital over the Final Net Working Capital (“Working Capital Deficit”). In the event a Party that is obligated to make a payment or cause a payment to be made pursuant to this Section 2.3(d) fails to make or cause to be made such payment in full on or before the date due, the unpaid amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate from (and including) the date due to (but excluding) the date on which such unpaid amount is paid.

(e) Closing Price Adjustment. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, if the Buyer or the Shareholder Representative determines that the amount of any item used to determine the Closing Price (other than the amounts used with respect to items (A), (I), and (J) within the definition of Closing Price) was inaccurate and the actual Closing Price differs from the Closing Price on which the payments at the Closing were based, then the Buyer or the Shareholder Representative shall submit to the Shareholder Representative or the Buyer, as applicable, its determination of the correct amount of any such item, accompanied by such party’s work papers supporting such determination. The procedures for the Shareholder Representative or the Buyer to protest any such determination, for the parties to resolve any disputes related thereto, and for final adjustment of the Closing Price shall be the same as the procedures set forth in subsections (b) - (d) above with respect to Final Net Working Capital as modified as appropriate to reflect the party making the initial determination that the Closing Price is inaccurate.

2.4 Vendor Payments. Schedule 2.4 sets forth all Contracts between the Company or any Company Subsidiary and vendors of mattresses or bedding products (the “Company Mattress Vendors”) or any third party consumer finance provider, including amounts payable under such Contracts to any such Company Mattress Vendor or third party consumer finance provider (i) for forfeiture or refund of new store funds, (ii) relating to the financing pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Retailer Program Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2010, by and between GE Capital Retail Bank, formerly known as GE Money Bank, the Company, and Sleep Country USA, LLC, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Retailer Program Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2013, as a result of (A) the transactions contemplated under this Agreement or (B) the termination of the applicable Contracts with any Company Mattress Vendor or (iii) relating to any termination of Contracts between the Company or any Company Subsidiary and any Company Mattress Vendor.

The amount of any Extra Tax Benefit shall in no event be less than zero. For the avoidance of doubt, (I) the ESOP shall not be considered a Seller for purposes of the determination of the Extra Tax Benefit and the calculation of the Extra Tax Benefit shall not reflect or otherwise take into account any amount attributable to the ESOP, and (II) any loss and/or deduction attributable to the Section 1374 Taxes under Section 1366(f)(2) and/or other applicable Tax Law shall be claimed in the applicable income Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries for the period ending on and including the Closing Date.

(c) On or before the later of March 15, 2015 and five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Extra Tax Cost or Extra Tax Benefit (as the case may be), as reflected on the Extra Tax Cost/Benefit Statement that has become final and binding under Section 2.10, (i) if such Extra Tax Cost/Benefit Statement reflects an Extra Tax Cost, then the Buyer shall pay to each Seller (other than the ESOP), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the product of (A) such Seller’s Allocation Percentage (for the purposes of this Section 2.5, the Allocation Percentage of

the ESOP is deemed to equal 0%) multiplied by (B) the amount of such Extra Tax Cost, and (ii) if such Extra Tax Cost/Benefit Statement reflects an Extra Tax Benefit, then the Sellers shall have no obligation to pay any portion of such Extra Tax Benefit to the Buyer.

(d) In the event that any Section 338(h)(10) Election is disallowed as a result of a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code), each of the Sellers shall repay to the Buyer any Extra Tax Cost received by such Seller relating to the applicable jurisdiction(s), but only to the extent, if any, that such Extra Tax Cost, as recalculated after taking into account such disallowance, is reduced to an amount below the amount paid by the Buyer to such Seller under this Section 2.5.

(e) If:

(i) as a result of an audit, examination, or administrative, judicial or other proceeding the amount of the Section 1374 Taxes are adjusted pursuant to a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code and including any comparable determination under applicable state or local Tax law), or due to a proposed adjustment otherwise becoming final, and such adjustment results in an increase or decrease in the Extra Tax Cost and/or the Extra Tax Benefit, as the case may be, theretofore determined or redetermined under this Agreement, including under this Section 2.5 and Section 2.10, or

(ii) as a result in a change in applicable Tax law (including the enactment of an amendment to the Code that eliminates the Section 1374 Taxes by decreasing the “recognition period” (as defined in Section 1374 of the Code) to a 5-year period) or otherwise the Buyer determines that any previously filed Tax Return of the Company or any Company Subsidiary covering a taxable period for which a determination of Section 1374 Taxes is applicable should be amended to reflect one or more changes affecting or otherwise relating to the determination of the Section 1374 Taxes, and the filing of such amended Tax Return results in an increase or decrease in the Extra Tax Cost and/or the Extra Tax Benefit, as the case may be, theretofore determined or redetermined under this Agreement, including under this Section 2.5 and Section 2.10,

then within thirty (30) days after such “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code and including any comparable determination under applicable state or local Tax law) becomes final or such proposed adjustment otherwise becoming final, or such amended Tax Return is filed, as the case may be, the Seller Representative and the Buyer shall recalculate the amount of such Extra Tax Cost or the Extra Tax Benefit, as the case may be, and compute the appropriate adjustments, if any, to any payment or payments with respect to the Extra Tax Cost theretofore made between the Buyer and each of the Sellers to reflect such recalculation. If within such thirty (30) day time period, the Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve any differences with respect to such recalculation or computation, or if at any time the Buyer and the Seller Representative are unable to agree on whether any change reflected in such an amended Tax Return is appropriate under applicable Tax law (such appropriateness to be determined by applying the standard of whether such change is more likely than not to be sustained if challenged by the applicable Taxing Authority), then such unresolved differences or disagreements will be submitted to an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the parties for resolution. Promptly, but not later than fifteen (15) days after such matters are

submitted to the independent accounting firm for resolution, such independent accounting firm will determine those matters in dispute and will render a written report as to the disputed matters, which report shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm in respect of such report shall be paid one-half by the Buyer and one-half by the Sellers. Within five (5) Business Days after any such recalculation and computation becomes final and binding under this Section 2.5(e), any payment or payments with respect to the Extra Tax Cost theretofore made between the Buyer and each of the Sellers shall be appropriately adjusted by means of a payment from the Buyer to such Seller or such Seller to the Buyer, as the case may be, in accordance with such recalculation and computation. The Buyer shall control, at its expense and in its sole discretion, (i) the defense, prosecution, conduct and handling of any matter relating to any such audit, examination, or administrative, judicial or other proceeding, including any settlement or compromise thereof and the retention of counsel and experts with respect thereto, to the extent such matter relates to the Section 1374 Taxes or the determination of the amount thereof, and (ii) the preparation and filing of any such amended Tax Return.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event of the breach of a Seller’s covenant to make any payment required to be made to the Buyer under this Section 2.5, only the Seller breaching such covenant shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Persons for Buyer Damages resulting from such breach.

(a) Plans and Material Documents. Schedule 4.20(a) is a complete and accurate list of the Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Benefit Plan” means an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA (whether or not such plan is subject to ERISA, whether written or unwritten, or whether funded or unfunded), and any other benefit agreement, program, plan or arrangement, including any bonus plan, deferred compensation plan, incentive compensation or retention plan, equity purchase plan, equity incentive or option plan, equity award plan, phantom unit plan, golden parachute agreement or arrangement, severance pay plan, cafeteria plan, employee assistance program, vacation policy or plan, employment contract, retention incentive agreement, noncompetition agreement, consulting agreement, confidentiality agreement, severance agreement or plan, and other plan, program, agreement, arrangement or understanding that is sponsored, maintained, administered or contributed to by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate or with respect to which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate may have any liability, contingent or otherwise, or have been approved before this date but are not yet effective. Schedule 4.20(a) sets forth a complete description of each Benefit Plan that is not in writing and, with respect to each Benefit Plan that is in writing, the Company has furnished the Buyer with a complete and accurate copy of each Benefit Plan (and all amendments thereto) and a complete and accurate copy of each material document prepared in connection with each such Benefit Plan including, where applicable, (i) a copy of each trust or other funding arrangement, (ii) the most current summary plan description, booklet, or other descriptive written materials, and each summary of material modifications prepared since the last summary plan description, (iii) the three most recently filed annual IRS Forms 5500, 990 and 1041 reports, (iv) the most recent

Section 2520.104-23, and (vii) all other correspondence from the IRS or the DOL received that relate to one or more of the Benefit Plans with respect to any matter, audit or inquiry that is still pending. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has any express or implied commitment (i) to create, incur liability with respect to, or cause to exist, any other employee benefit plan, program or arrangement, (ii) to enter into any contract or agreement to provide compensation or benefits to any individual or (iii) to modify, change or terminate any Benefit Plan, other than any modification required to comply with ERISA or the Code.

(b) Absence of Certain Types of Plans. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained, contributed to, had an obligation to contribute to, or incurred any liability with respect to, either (i) a multiemployer plan, as such term is defined in sections 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA or (ii) an employee pension benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) that is or was subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 or Section 430 of the Code or Section 302 or Section 303 of ERISA. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever participated in any union-sponsored multiemployer welfare benefit fund maintained pursuant to any “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained, had an obligation to contribute to or incurred any liability with respect to a voluntary employees beneficiary association that is or was intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code. Each of the Benefit Plans is subject only to the Laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof. No Benefit Plan provides for the deferral of compensation (other than any Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code) or for the grant of options, restricted equity, equity appreciation rights, phantom equity or other equity-based awards or contingent compensation.

(c) Compliance with Applicable Law. Each Benefit Plan is now and always has been maintained, operated and administered materially in accordance with its terms and with the requirements of all applicable Laws, including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code, and all “fiduciaries” of such Benefit Plans (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA) have always acted in accordance with the provisions of all applicable Law, including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code. The terms of each Benefit Plan comply in all material respects with applicable Law. The Company has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it under any Benefit Plan and is not in any material respect in default under or in violation thereof. The Company has not Knowledge of any default or violation by any other party to, any Benefit Plan. There is no litigation, action, proceeding, known investigation, or claim asserted, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened or contemplated, with respect to any Benefit Plan (other than the payment of benefits in the normal course) nor any issue resolved adversely to the Company that may subject the Company to the payment of a penalty, interest, Tax or other amount. There exists no condition that would subject the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to any liability under the terms of the Benefit Plans or applicable Laws other than any payment of benefits in the normal course of plan operation. Each asset held under any Benefit Plan may be liquidated or terminated without the imposition of any material redemption fee or surrender charge.

(d) Qualification of Certain Plans. Each Benefit Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code is identified in Schedule 4.20(d). Each such plan either (i) has been determined by the IRS to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code or (ii) has an applicable remedial amendment period that will not have ended before the Closing. No facts or events have occurred that if known by the IRS could adversely affect the qualified status of any such plan or the exempt status of any such trust funding such plan.

(e) ESOP. The ESOP was validly established under applicable Law and is, and at all times has been maintained as, a plan qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and an employee stock ownership plan as described in Section 4975(e)(7) of the Code. The trust maintained to fund the ESOP (the “ESOP Trust”) is a trust duly formed in accordance with applicable state Law and is, and at all times has been, a trust described in Section 501(a) of the Code. The ESOP and the ESOP Trust have been duly authorized, organized and established by all necessary corporate action on behalf of the Company and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms. The shares of Stock held by the ESOP Trust constitute “employer securities,” as defined in Section 409(l) of the Code and “qualifying employer securities,” as defined in Section 407(d)(5) of ERISA. The Company has provided or made available any documents that provide for indemnification of the fiduciaries of the ESOP within the preceding six (6) years. The Trustee of the ESOP (the “ESOP Trustee”) possesses the full power and authority to execute, deliver, and perform the ESOP’s obligations under and ancillary to this Agreement. To the Knowledge of the Company, the ESOP Trustee has complied in all material respects with all of the responsibilities and duties imposed on the ESOP Trustee under the ESOP in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The performance of the ESOP Trustee’s duties hereunder, will not violate any provision of the ESOP or ERISA, including any of the ESOP Trustee’s fiduciary obligations under ERISA. The ESOP Trustee has obtained from an independent third party a written opinion that the Purchase Price represents “adequate consideration,” as that term is defined under Section 3(18) of ERISA, and that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to the ESOP and its participants and beneficiaries from a financial perspective, a true and correct copy of which has been provided to the Buyer. The ESOP Trustee has made an independent determination that the Purchase Price represents “adequate consideration” as that term is defined under Section 3(18) of ERISA, and that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to the ESOP and its participants and beneficiaries from a financial perspective. The Company shall ensure, and direct the ESOP Trustee if necessary, that the Purchase Price will, immediately upon Closing, be applied, pursuant to the terms of the ESOP, first for the payment of any then-outstanding principal balance of all “exempt loans” (as defined in the ESOP), plus any accrued interest, and then for allocation to the accounts of all individuals who, immediately prior to the Closing Date, were participants in, or beneficiaries under, the ESOP.

(f) Absence of Certain Liabilities and Events. Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates, partners, officers, employees or agents, or any “party in interest” or “disqualified person,” as such terms are defined in Section 3 of ERISA, and Section 4975 of the Code has, with respect to any Benefit Plan, engaged in or been a party to any nonexempt “prohibited transaction,” as such term is defined, respectively, in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA, in connection with which, directly or indirectly, the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates, directors or employees or any Benefit Plan or any related funding medium could be subject to either a

penalty assessed pursuant to Section 502(i) of ERISA or a Tax imposed by Section 4975 of the Code. The Company has not engaged in, and to the Knowledge of the Company, no ERISA Affiliate or other Person has engaged in, any transaction or acted or failed to act in any manner that would subject the Company to any liability for a breach of fiduciary duty under section 409 of ERISA, a civil penalty assessed pursuant to section 502 of ERISA, a Tax imposed pursuant to Chapter 43 of Subtitle D of the Code or a penalty assessed pursuant to Section 6652 of the Code, and no fact or event exists which could give rise to any such liability. The Company does not have and has never had any liability for any (i) supplemental retirement benefits or other non-qualified deferred compensation, (ii) severance pay relating to any termination of employment which occurs on or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) for non-qualified deferred compensation or incentive or contingent compensation relating to any Benefit Plan as in effect, or commitment made, prior to the date hereof (to the extent related to periods prior to the date hereof), (iv) for uninsured health, medical, disability or worker’s compensation claims incurred prior to the date hereof, regardless of whether such claims are reported prior to the date hereof or are not so reported, or (v) the payment of accrued bonuses to the extent related to periods prior to the date hereof and not accrued or reflected in the Financial Statements.

(g) Plan Contributions and Funding. All contributions, premiums or payments required to be made with respect to any Benefit Plan have been made on or before their due dates. All such contributions for years prior to tax year 2014 have been fully deducted for income Tax purposes and no such deduction has been challenged or disallowed by any Governmental Body and no fact or event exists which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any such challenge or disallowance. All premiums required to be paid for each insurance policy funding all or any portion of the benefits under any Benefit Plan have been timely paid in full.

To the extent applicable, all Benefit Plans have been operated in compliance with COBRA and other similar applicable Laws.

There is no contract, agreement, plan, or arrangement covering any Person that, individually or in the aggregate, as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise (either alone or in conjunction with any other event, such as termination of employment) could give rise to the payment of any amount that would be either subject to an excise Tax under Section 4999 of the Code or not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either alone or in conjunction with another event (such as a termination of employment), will not (A) entitle any current or former employee, consultant, independent contractor, director or partner of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to severance pay or any other payment, or the forgiveness of indebtedness, (B) accelerate the time of payment, funding or vesting of benefits under a Benefit Plan or other employment arrangement, (C) increase the amount of compensation due any current or former employee, consultant, independent contractor, director or partner of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or (D) result in any violation or breach of or default under, or limit the ability of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to amend, modify or terminate, any Benefit Plan or other employee benefit arrangement.

(i) In General. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(c)(ii), and with respect to each Tax Return covering either a Straddle Period or a Pre-Closing Tax Period that is required to be filed for, by, on behalf of or with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared, at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and in a manner consistent with past practice, applicable Law and this Agreement, each such Tax Return and shall determine the portion of the Taxes shown as due on such Tax Return that is (A) allocable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and the amount thereof, if any, for which the Sellers are responsible under this Agreement (which amount, if any, shall be paid by the Sellers to the Buyer prior to the due date (including any extensions thereof) for filing such Tax Return), and (B) allocable to the Tax period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, which determination shall be set forth in a statement (“Statement”) prepared by the Buyer.

Any remaining objections with respect to such Tax Return or the Statement shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the parties for resolution and such independent accounting firm will determine those matters in dispute and will render a written report as to the disputed matters, which report shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the independent accounting firm in respect of such report shall be paid one-half by the Buyer and one-half by the Sellers. If necessary to reflect such resolution, the Buyer and the Shareholder

Representative shall cause such Tax Return to be amended and filed with the appropriate Taxing Authority.

doubt, the Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of any Section 1374 Taxes due with respect to any Tax Return described in this Section 6.2(c)(ii)(1).

(2) In addition to the provisions of Section 6.2(c)(ii)(1), if the Shareholder Representative or the Buyer expects that the original due date of any Tax Return described in Section 6.2(c)(ii)(1) will be extended and that such Tax Return will reflect a liability for Section 1374 Taxes, then the Shareholder Representative shall provide the Buyer with a statement (each, an “Estimated Section 1374 Taxes Statement”) setting forth the Shareholder Representative’s calculation of the estimate of such liability for Section 1374 Taxes, along with supporting workpapers, at least thirty (30 days) prior to such original due date. Such Estimated Section 1374 Taxes Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the principles reflected in the illustrative calculation set forth in Schedule 2.5. Within fifteen (15) days of such delivery, the Buyer shall deliver to the Shareholder Representative a written statement describing any objections to such Estimated Section 1374 Taxes Statement. If the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer are unable to resolve any such objection within the ten (10) day period after the delivery of such objections, the amount of Section 1374 Taxes to be paid to the appropriate Taxing Authority in connection with the filing of the extension of the original due date for such Tax Return shall be as determined by the Buyer, as adjusted to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of any such objections mutually agreed to by the Shareholder Representative and the Buyer.

(d) Assistance and Cooperation. From and after the Closing Date, the Sellers and the Buyer shall:

(i) assist (and cause their respective Affiliates to assist), to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing;

(ii) cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party in preparing for any audit, litigation, contest, dispute, negotiation, or other proceeding (each a “Tax Proceeding”) regarding Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary;

(iii) make available to the other party and to any Taxing Authority, as reasonably requested, all relevant information, records, and documents relating to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (including information necessary to file Tax Return extensions and make estimated Tax payments); and

(iv) furnish the other party, upon such party’s reasonable request, with copies of all correspondence received from any Taxing Authority in connection with any Tax Proceeding with respect to any Taxes imposed on the Company or any Company Subsidiary with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(e) Transfer Taxes. The parties do not anticipate that any transfer, sales, use, value added, excise, filing, recording, documentary, stamp or other similar Taxes will arise as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Transfer Taxes arise as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the payment of any and all such Transfer Taxes shall be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand. The parties agree to cooperate fully with each other to minimize any such liability for Transfer Taxes to the extent legally permissible, and the parties shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns regarding any Transfer Taxes that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(f) Tax Refunds. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(h), the amount or economic benefit of any refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) of any Tax received by the Buyer, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates and attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or the portion of any Straddle Period of the Company or any Company Subsidiary ending on and including the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers to the extent such refund was not reflected in the computation of the Final Net Working Capital that has become final and binding pursuant to Section 2.3. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.2(h), in the case of a Straddle Period, the amount or economic benefit of any refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) received by the Buyer, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates shall be apportioned between the Sellers and the Buyer in accordance with Section 6.2(b). The amount of any such refund (including any interest thereon) owing to the Sellers as provided in this Section 6.2(f) shall be paid by the Buyer to the Shareholder Representative within thirty (30) days after such refund is received, credited or applied as an offset. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the amount or economic benefit of any refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) of any Section 1374 Taxes (including any interest thereon) shall be for the account of the Buyer and shall be paid to the Buyer within thirty (30) days after such refund is received, credited or applied as an offset by, to or with respect to any Seller.

(g) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. The Sellers shall cause any and all Tax sharing or allocation agreements, intercompany agreements or other agreements or arrangements among the Company or any Company Subsidiary and any other Person(s) relating to any Tax matters to be terminated with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, as the case may be, as of the day before the Closing Date, and from and after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder for any taxable period (whether past, current or future taxable periods).

(h) Certain Tax Refund Matters. If for any reason (including a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.8(j) or Section 4.8(k)) there is a “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code and including any comparable determination under applicable state or local Tax law), or other determination that becomes final, that (i) the Company has not, at any time during the period from and including October 1, 2009, through and including the Closing Date, had in effect a valid election under Section 1362 of the Code to be treated as an “S corporation” within the meaning of Section 1361 of the Code or had in effect a valid, corresponding election for

each state during the periods in which the Company has engaged or does engage in business in such state and was required or is required to file Tax Returns with respect to its income, or (ii) any of the Company Subsidiaries has not, at any time during such period, been treated as a Disregarded Entity, then each of the Sellers shall pay to Buyer the amount or economic benefit of any refund (whether in cash or as a credit against or offset to any Tax) of any Tax (including any interest thereon) received by such Seller resulting or arising from any such “determination” (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code and including any comparable determination under applicable state or local Tax law), or other proposed determination that becomes final, as reduced by any reasonable expenses of obtaining such refund. Any such refund shall be paid by a Seller to Buyer within thirty (30) days after such refund is received, credited or applied as an offset by such Seller. Each of the Sellers shall take all actions reasonably necessary or advisable to claim and obtain any such refund, including causing the appropriate Tax Returns to be amended and filed with the appropriate Taxing Authorities with respect to all applicable taxable periods affected by any such determination; provided, however, that, at the request of any Seller or the Buyer, the Buyer shall prepare such amended Tax Returns of such Seller at the Buyer’s sole cost and expense.

(i) Survival. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, rights and obligations of the Buyer and each of the Sellers with respect to any Tax or Tax matter covered by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall not terminate until sixty (60) days after the expiration of all statutes of limitations (including any and all extensions thereof) applicable to such Tax (or the assessment thereof) or Tax matter.

(j) Conflict. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.2 and any other provision of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 6.2 shall control.

6.3 Obtaining of Consents, Waivers and Releases. Each party will use its reasonable commercial efforts to take all actions and to do all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate, make effective and comply with all terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and to obtain the consents and waivers necessary if any asset, property, contract, license, lease, sales order, permit, right or other agreement or commitment of the Company is impaired due to the sale of the Stock to the Buyer, and the parties hereto will use their commercially reasonable efforts to bring about the satisfaction as soon as possible of all of the conditions contained in ARTICLE 7 and to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) deliver to the Buyer those consents and approvals that are expressly required under the terms of any Company Facility Lease to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, in each case in form reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and (ii) provide estoppel certificates with respect to each such Company Facility Lease for which such consent is required, executed by the landlord under such Company Facility Lease and confirming the validity and completeness of such Company Facility Lease, the current rental costs, the existing security deposits and that no defaults are existing. In no event shall any Seller be required to modify or personally guaranty any Company Facility Lease in connection with obtaining the landlord’s consent to the transactions contemplated herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Buyer and the Company, the Sellers shall seek required landlord consents using the form attached hereto as Exhibit E. The Sellers shall pay, or prior to the Closing Date cause the Company to pay, all landlord fees or expenses, including any transfer premiums, that are expressly required under any Company Facility Lease in connection with obtaining the consents and approvals of such landlords to the transactions contemplated herein, whether

incurred before or after the Closing Date (the “Landlord Fees”), and shall reimburse, or prior to the Closing Date cause the Company to reimburse, the Buyer for any such Landlord Fees paid by the Buyer. Any Landlord Fees not paid or reimbursed in accordance herewith prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to be Current Liabilities of the Company. The Buyer and MFRM acknowledge that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to certain contracts, leases, licenses, other agreements or permits to which the Company or a Company Subsidiary is a party or subject and have not been obtained as of the date hereof and may not be obtained as of the Closing (collectively, “Non-Obtained Consents”). Each of the Buyer and MFRM agrees that after the Closing neither the Company nor any Seller shall have any liability whatsoever to the Buyer or MFRM (and neither the Buyer nor MFRM shall be entitled to assert any claims) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Non-Obtained Consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of or loss of right under any such contract, lease, license, other agreement or permit as a result thereof.

6.4 Notices to Suppliers, Vendors and Customers. To the extent not satisfied prior to the Closing Date, each of the Sellers shall cooperate with the Buyer in notifying suppliers, vendors, customers and other third parties having a business relationship with the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.5 Restrictive Covenants. The Key Shareholders, Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxxx agree that the Company transacts and carries on its Business in areas in which there are no Company Facilities, and in addition to retail sales and carrying on its Business through the Company Facilities located in the states of California, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, the Company also maintains a website through which it advertises, makes internet sales, and delivers mattresses, bedding, and related products throughout the continental United States. The parties acknowledge the highly competitive nature of the Business of the Company. Since each of Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, through the Xxxxxxx Trust and the Xxxxxxxx Trust, respectively, is personally benefitting from the sale to the same extent as if he were a Seller, the Buyer requires that each of Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx be bound, and each of Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 6.5 as a Key Shareholder to the same extent as if he were a Seller that was a Key Shareholder. The Key Shareholders further acknowledge that absent the agreement to the terms of this Section 6.5, the Buyer would either have not purchased the Stock or would have paid a substantially lower purchase price for such Stock. Accordingly, for the consideration in this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the acquisition of the Company’s goodwill:

(a) Non-Competition.

(i) For a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (A) five (5) years after the Closing Date or (B) two (2) years after the date of termination of Xxxxxxx’x employment with the Buyer, if Xxxxxxx’x employment is terminated by the Buyer without Cause or Xxxxxxx terminates his employment by the Buyer for Good Reason, neither Xxxxxxx nor the Xxxxxxx Trust shall, directly or indirectly (whether as an owner, proprietor, partner, shareholder, officer, employee, independent contractor, director, joint venturer, consultant, lender or investor), own, maintain, engage in, or participate or have any interest in the operation of, any retail or internet business engaged in selling mattresses, bedding or related products, including over the internet, (collectively, the “Restricted Activities,” and each individually, a “Restricted Activity”) within the geographic area set forth in Schedule 6.5(a), listing (A) any county in which a

Company Facility is located as of the Closing Date and (B) any state in which the Company has made sales through the internet as of the Closing Date, including California. Further, the Key Shareholders agree that the Company carries on and transacts Business on the internet, including marketing, advertising, and providing delivery services to anywhere in the continental U.S. As such, Xxxxxxx and the Xxxxxxx Trust further agree not to engage in any Restricted Activities within any state in the continental U.S. whether or not listed in Schedule 6.5(a) (collectively with Schedule 6.5(a), the “Restricted Territory”).

(ii) For a period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of (A) five (5) years after the Closing Date or (B) two (2) years after the date of termination of Xxxxxxxx’x employment with the Buyer, if Xxxxxxxx’x employment is terminated by the Buyer without Cause or Xxxxxxxx terminates his employment by the Buyer for Good Reason, neither Xxxxxxxx nor the Xxxxxxxx Trust shall, directly or indirectly (whether as an owner, proprietor, partner, shareholder, officer, employee, independent contractor, director, joint venturer, consultant, lender or investor), own, maintain, engage in, or participate or have any interest in any Restricted Activity within the Restricted Territory.

(iii) For a period of two (2) years after the Closing Date, no Key Shareholder other the Xxxxxxx Trust or the Xxxxxxxx Trust shall, either directly or indirectly (whether as an owner, proprietor, partner, shareholder, officer, employee, independent contractor, director, joint venturer, consultant, lender or investor), for himself or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, own, maintain, engage in, or participate or have any interest in any Restricted Activity within the Restricted Territory.

(iv) The running of any time period referred to in Section 6.5(a)(i), (ii), (iii) or 6.5(c) with respect to any Key Shareholder, Xxxxxxx, or Xxxxxxxx, shall be tolled during any period of time during which such Key Shareholder violates this Section 6.5.

(v) This Section 6.5(a) does not, in any way, restrict or impede any Key Shareholder, Xxxxxxx or Xxxxxxxx from exercising protected rights to the extent that such rights cannot be waived by agreement or from complying with any applicable Law.

(vi) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5(a), a Key Shareholder, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx may (x) participate in the above activities as an employee of the Buyer or the Company, (y) own, maintain, engage in, or participate or have any interest in any Person as to which no more than 5% of its aggregate annual revenues are derived from bedding sales and (z) own securities in any publicly held Person that is covered by the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.5(a), but only to the extent that such Key Shareholder, Xxxxxxx or Xxxxxxxx does not own, of record or beneficially, more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding beneficial ownership of such Person.

(b) Reasonableness. The Key Shareholders, Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxxx acknowledge that the Company transacts and carries on Business in the Restricted Territory and further acknowledge and agree that the limitations imposed by Section 6.5(a) as to time, geographical area, and scope of activity being restrained are reasonable

and do not impose a greater restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other business interests of the Buyer.

(c) Non-Solicitation. For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, the Key Shareholders, Xxxxxxx, and Xxxxxxxx shall not, directly or indirectly, for itself, himself, herself, or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, hire, solicit, or engage the services of any employee, independent contractor, or consultant of the Company or its Affiliates as of the Closing Date, induce or cause any such individual to leave such employment or engagement, or interfere with any such relationship of the Company and its Affiliates; provided, however, the running of such time period shall be tolled during any period of time during which any Key Shareholder, Xxxxxxx or Xxxxxxxx violates this Section 6.5(c).

(d) Severability. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 6.5 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Section 6.5 shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

6.6 Governmental Approvals.

(a) In addition to their obligations under Section 6.3, each party shall use its best efforts to obtain all consents of any Governmental Body required to be obtained to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to allow the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to continue to conduct the Business after the Closing as currently conducted.

(b) Within ten (10) Business Days after the execution of this Agreement, each party shall file with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”) and the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) the pre-merger notification and report form required pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, together with a request for early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act. The parties hereto covenant and agree with each other that with respect to such filing each shall: (i) furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act; (ii) after any request by the FTC or the Antitrust Division, promptly file any information or documents requested by the FTC or the Antitrust Division and (iii) subject to applicable Laws regarding confidentiality, furnish each other with any correspondence from or to, and notify each other of any other communications with, the FTC or the Antitrust Division that relates to the transactions contemplated hereunder, and to the extent practicable, permit the other to participate in any conferences with the FTC or the Antitrust Division.

(c) From the date hereof through the date of termination of the required waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable antitrust Law, no party shall take any action that could reasonably be expected to hinder or delay the obtaining of

clearance or the expiration of the required waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable antitrust Law. Each party shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to vigorously defend, lift, mitigate and rescind the effect of any litigation or administrative proceeding adversely affecting this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company and the Sellers shall on the request of the Buyer take all reasonable steps necessary to avoid or eliminate impediments under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by the FTC, the Antitrust Division or any other Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible.

6.7 Cooperation.

(a) Following execution of this Agreement, the Company shall cooperate with the Buyer and its independent public accountant as and when reasonably requested by the Buyer from time to time. Such cooperation shall include providing the necessary information to complete an audit of the Company and providing appropriate responses, requested information and representation letters to the auditors and otherwise facilitating the ability of the auditors to issue their audit opinion without qualification in connection with the preparation of such audited balance sheets, income statements and statements of cash flows with respect to the Company, all to the extent necessary to provide any necessary audited financial statements with respect to the Company as may be determined and requested by the Buyer, to be (i) useful in the business of the Buyer or its Affiliates; (ii) necessary to assist the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in complying with certain covenants contained in agreements or contracts by which the Buyer or any of its Affiliates is bound; or (iii) required by state or federal Law, rules or regulations. The Company and the Sellers expressly acknowledge and agree that if the Buyer’s independent public accountant requests that the Company or the Sellers provide financial data and supporting documentation related to the Company in order to successfully perform or facilitate its audit and review procedures applicable to the Company, the Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with such accountant and shall provide such financial data and supporting documentation to such accountant. The Company and the Sellers hereby agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts (without any obligation to pay any additional fees or other amounts not reimbursed by Buyer) to cause the Company’s accountant (x) to permit its audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Company for fiscal years 2011, 2012 and 2013 to be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K that is required to be filed by MFRM in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or other filing by MFRM with the SEC or (y) to perform reviews of the Company’s quarterly financial statements and issue comfort letters as may be required in connection with any filing by MFRM with the SEC. In the event the Company’s accountant refuses to permit the inclusion of its audit opinion in any filing by MFRM with the SEC, the Buyer shall bear the costs of any re-audit of such financial statements by a public accounting firm of Buyer’s choice, and the Company and the Sellers shall use their best efforts to provide all information and assistance required to complete the re-audit as is reasonably requested.

(b) Following execution of this Agreement, the Company and the Sellers shall cooperate with the Buyer as and to the extent reasonably requested by the Buyer in connection with obtaining insurance for the Buyer against any risks associated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including risks related to Taxes; provided that the Company and the Sellers shall not be required to make any payment or expenditure in providing any cooperation in accordance with this Section 6.7(b).

Thereafter, until the Closing, except as may be required by applicable Law or securities exchange regulation, none of the parties will make or issue any public statement or announcement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other parties, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer and its Affiliates shall have the right to discuss the information disclosed in any such announcement with its investors and lenders.

6.13 ESOP Matters.

the ESOP’s trust assets shall be borne by the ESOP, and shall include such special allocation, valuation and accounting provisions necessary to prudently address administrative issues related to benefit accrual activity for periods preceding the Closing. The ESOP Trust agreement shall, immediately prior to the Closing, be amended, effective as of the Closing Date, to reflect the planned termination of the ESOP upon the ESOP Termination Date.

If IRS Approval cannot be obtained without modification of the ESOP Amendment, no distribution shall be made from the ESOP until such modifications are made to the ESOP Amendment as may be required by the IRS in order to obtain the IRS Approval.

(d) Effective as of the Closing Date, or at such time as the Buyer may determine, the cash accounts held in the ESOP (net of any administrative expense funds or such other amounts that the fiduciaries deem to be prudent to retain in the ESOP pending its termination) and all rights that the ESOP shall have to proceeds from the Transaction that may be payable from the Escrow Amount or the Secondary Escrow Amount in accordance with the Escrow Agreement or the agreement governing any successor account holding any portion of the Escrow Amount or the Secondary Escrow Amount, may be transferred in a “spin off” from the ESOP, pursuant to Section 414(l) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.414(l)-1 and ERISA Section 208 into a new profit sharing plan (the “PSP”), which, if established, shall be a frozen plan, shall contain such distribution restrictions as maintained under the ESOP and which shall remain in place until the Escrow Amount and the Secondary Escrow Amount are completely disbursed to the ESOP or PSP, as may be applicable, and the other Sellers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement or the agreement governing any successor account holding any portion of the Escrow Amount or the Secondary Escrow Amount, or until such earlier or later time as the Buyer determines.

(f) All of the assets of the ESOP received in connection with the Closing (including an amount that is reasonably necessary to pay for the administrative expenses of the ESOP), net of the assets which may be transferred to the PSP, will be allocated to the accounts of the ESOP participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees no later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, and, with respect to any Escrow Amount or Secondary Escrow Amount, to the accounts of the ESOP or PSP participants, beneficiaries and alternate payees, as may be applicable, within thirty (30) days following the receipt by the plan of any portion of the Escrow Amount or the Secondary Escrow Amount paid in accordance with the Escrow Agreement or the agreement governing any successor account holding any portion of the Escrow Amount or the Secondary Escrow Amount.

current or future stockholder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, general or limited partner, member, manager, Affiliate, agent or assignee of any of the foregoing (each an “MFRM Affiliate”), through MFRM, the Buyer or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of MFRM or the Buyer against any MFRM Affiliate, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law, or otherwise.

Except with respect to Seller Damages arising out of out of fraud or a breach of the representations under Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.5 or 5.8, which shall not be subject to the Minimum Claim Amount or the Deductible, the Buyer shall have no liability to the Seller Indemnified Persons with respect to Seller Damages arising out of any of the matters referred to in Section 10.2(a) until such time as the amount of all such liability of the Buyer shall collectively exceed the Deductible, in which case the Buyer shall thereafter, subject to the limits on liability provided in this Section 10.3(b), be liable for all such Seller Damages in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that no claim or series of related claims for Seller Damages arising out of any of the matters referred to in Section 10.2(a) which are subject to the Deductible shall be applied against the Deductible unless the amount of liability to the Seller Indemnified Persons arising out of any such claim or series of related claims is in excess of the Minimum Claim Amount.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither any Seller or the Buyer or MFRM shall be liable for any breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.30 or 5.9, respectively, except in connection with a claim alleging a violation of federal or state securities Laws.

(d) All materiality qualifications (including Seller Material Adverse Effect and Buyer Material Adverse Effect qualifications) in the representations and warranties will be disregarded for purposes of determining a Person’s right to indemnification or calculating Damages under this ARTICLE 10.

(e) Neither the Buyer Indemnified Persons nor the Seller Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover more than once for any Damages that may have resulted from the breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement from the occurrence of a single event.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the foregoing limitations shall not apply in the case of a determination of fraud by a final and non-appealable order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) Damages in each case shall be net of the amount of any insurance proceeds actually recovered by a party.

10.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of the institution of any legal proceeding, or of any other claim, asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) against the Indemnified Party with respect to which a claim for indemnification is to be made pursuant to Section 10.1 or 10.2 herein, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of such assumption of defense, and provided that the Indemnifying Party continues to diligently pursue such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. No Indemnifying Party will enter into any settlement with respect to such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party unless such settlement (i) requires solely the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and (ii) does not (A) include injunctive or equitable relief, (B) impose any restrictions or other obligations on any Indemnified Party or (C) contain any factual findings with respect to the Company, the Buyer or MFRM. If the settlement does not include an unconditional release by the claimant or the plaintiff of the Indemnified Party and the Persons for whom the Indemnified Party is acting or who are acting on behalf of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of the proceeding or claim giving rise to the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall continue to diligently pursue the defense of any such Third Party Claim.

(b) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of Damages which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the Indemnifying Party written notice thereof. Such notice by the Indemnified Party will describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail. The Indemnifying Party will have a period of sixty (60) days within which to respond in writing to such Direct Claim (the “Direct Claim Response Period”). If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within the Direct Claim Response Period, the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have accepted such claim, in which event the Indemnifying Party will be required to pay such amounts in accordance with Section 10.5 hereof.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 10.4 shall not apply to Tax Proceedings, which shall be controlled by the Company; provided that the Company shall not agree to settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding involving Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

10.5 Payment. Payment of any amounts due pursuant to this ARTICLE 10 shall be made within five (5) Business Days after (i) notice of a final, non-appealable judgment is sent by the Indemnified Party, (ii) a mutually agreed upon resolution is reached by the third party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party has approved such resolution, (iii) a mutually agreed upon resolution is reached by the third party and the Indemnifying Party, and the

Indemnified Party has approved in writing such resolution, (iv) the expiration of the Direct Claim Response Period, unless the Indemnified Party has disputed the Direct Claim in a written response in accordance with Section 10.4(b) before the end of the applicable Direct Claim Response Period or (v) a mutually agreed upon written resolution is reached by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (each such date, a “Final Determination Date”). Payment of any amounts due pursuant to this ARTICLE 10 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, including for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any amounts owing from the Sellers pursuant to this ARTICLE 10 shall be satisfied first from any insurance proceeds that are actually received by the Buyer or its Affiliates, and then from funds in the Escrow Account until such funds are exhausted and thereafter shall be made directly by the Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.5.

10.6 Escrow. The funds contained in the Escrow Account shall be distributed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. Up to $1,000,000 of funds in the Escrow Account shall be available to pay any amounts due to the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.3(d). The funds in the Escrow Account shall be the primary source of recovery of the Buyer Indemnified Persons for any amounts owed by the Sellers under ARTICLE 10 unless and until such funds are exhausted.

10.7 Failure to Pay Indemnification or Instruct Escrow Agent. Subject to Section 10.5, if and to the extent the Indemnified Party shall make written demand upon the Indemnifying Party for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 10 and the Indemnifying Party shall refuse or fail to pay in full within ten (10) Business Days of such written demand the amounts demanded pursuant hereto and in accordance herewith, then the Indemnified Party may utilize any legal or equitable remedy to collect from the Indemnifying Party the amount of its Damages. Interest shall accrue on any amounts owed to an Indemnified Party and not timely paid by the Indemnifying Party at an annual rate of eighteen percent (18%) or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by under applicable Law (the “Default Rate”) and shall constitute additional Damages payable to the Indemnified Party. If either the Sellers or the Buyer shall fail to deliver joint written instructions with the other party pursuant to Section 10.5 by the date required to do so, such party shall be liable to the other party for interest on the amount not timely distributed to the other party as a result of such failure, which interest shall accrue at the Default Rate from the date of such failure until the date when such joint written instructions are delivered.

10.8 Exclusive Remedy. The remedies provided for in this ARTICLE 10 and in Sections 2.3 and 6.2 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedies from and after the Closing for any claims made for breach of the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any of the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto or in any of the certificates or other instruments or documents furnished by any party pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply in the event of fraud or with respect to claims for specific performance or injunctive or other equitable relief. NO PARTY NOR ANY OF ITS RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, MEMBERS, PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, TRUSTEES, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR AFFILIATES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE, OR ANY DAMAGES THAT ARE SPECULATIVE OR REMOTE, WHETHER SUCH CLAIMS ARISE IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH DAMAGES ARE INCLUDED WITHIN A CLAIM AGAINST AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY WITH RESPECT TO A THIRD PARTY CLAIM FOR WHICH INDEMNIFICATION IS AVAILABLE UNDER THIS ARTICLE 10.

10.9 No Double Recovery. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.3, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover more than its recoverable Damages for any claim even though such Damages may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Indemnifying Party in this Agreement.

10.10 Equitable Relief. The parties mutually agree that if a violation or threatened violation of any covenant contained in Section 6.1 or 6.5 occurs by the Sellers, such violation or threatened violation may cause irreparable injury to the Buyer and the remedy at law for any such violation may be inadequate. The parties further agree that if any Seller violates Section 6.1 or 6.5, it would be difficult to determine the entire cost, damage or injury which the Buyer and its Affiliates would sustain. The parties agree that, upon any breach or anticipated breach by any Seller of any covenant contained in Section 6.1 or 6.5, the Buyer and/or its Affiliates shall have the right, in addition to any other rights that may be available to them, to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief to restrain any violation by any Seller of such Section(s) or to compel specific performance by any Seller of one or more of his obligations under such Section(s) (any requirements for posting of bonds for injunction shall be satisfied by posting bond in the amount of $500.00). The seeking or obtaining by the Buyer or its Affiliates of such injunctive relief shall not foreclose or in any way limit the right of the Buyer to obtain a money judgment against such Seller for any damage to the Buyer or its Affiliates that may result from any breach by any Seller of Section 6.1 or 6.5.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

The Buyer shall pay the statutory filing fees in connection with any filings under the HSR Act related to the transactions contemplated hereby, but shall not be responsible for the fees and expenses of attorneys or other advisors of the Company or the Sellers, including those for preparing any such filings, responding to any inquiries by a Governmental Body related thereto or other actions in connection with such filings.

11.4 Waiver. Waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement by any party shall only be effective if in writing and shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or failure of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.

11.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the

economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

11.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Annexes, Exhibits and the Disclosure Schedules and other Schedules attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter thereof.

11.7 Shareholder Representative.

(a) The Shareholder Representative will act as the agent of the Sellers in connection with, and to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement and the other documents contemplated hereby, and in connection with the activities to be performed on behalf of the Sellers under this Agreement, and will have the full power and authority to settle and resolve any disputes which may arise hereunder and to agree to or modify the methodology or timeframe by which such disputes are to be resolved. Each of the Sellers hereby authorizes the Shareholder Representative to take any action on the Sellers’ behalf in connection with the Sellers’ performance or enforcement of this Agreement, including (i) negotiating, settling or compromising any adjustment to the Purchase Price, including under Section 2.3, (ii) performing all covenants to be performed by the Sellers hereunder, (iii) negotiating, asserting, prosecuting, settling or compromising on behalf of the Sellers any claim for indemnification against MFRM or the Buyer, (iv) negotiating, defending, settling or compromising on behalf of the Sellers any claims against any Seller arising under this Agreement or (v) entering into the Escrow Agreement and negotiating, asserting, prosecuting, defending, settling or compromising on behalf of the Sellers any disputes or claims that may arise under the Escrow Agreement. MFRM and the Buyer shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the communications of the Shareholder Representative relating to the foregoing matters and such communications shall be deemed to be made on behalf of any or all Sellers and neither MFRM nor the Buyer shall be required to comply with any instructions or communications from a Seller even if such instructions or communications are contrary to the instructions or communications of the Shareholder Representative.

(b) Neither MFRM nor the Buyer (a) need be concerned with the authority of the Shareholder Representative to act on behalf of all Sellers as provided hereunder, or (b) shall be held liable or accountable in any manner for any act or omission of the Shareholder Representative in such capacity.

(c) The Sellers agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify the Shareholder Representative and hold the Shareholder Representative harmless against any losses or damages incurred by the Shareholder Representative (including reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Shareholder Representative) arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Shareholder Representative’s duties hereunder. The Shareholder Representative shall not have any liability to any Seller or other Person arising out of or relating to the Shareholder Representative’s actions under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other

certificate, exhibit, annex, schedule or other document or agreement delivered or entered into in connection with this Agreement, or with respect to any other matter in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other certificate, exhibit, annex, schedule or other document or agreement delivered or entered into in connection with this Agreement, including any of his negligent acts or omissions.

(d) Unless a Seller or other Person entitled to receive payments from or at the direction of the Shareholder Representative hereunder has provided in writing wire transfer instructions to the Shareholder Representative, the Shareholder Representative shall pay any amounts due to such Person from the Shareholder Representative by check payable to the order of such Person and mailed to such Person’s last known address. The Shareholder Representative may rely on the wire transfer instructions or notice address provided by each Seller in writing until such time as such Seller provides written notice of new wire transfer instructions or notice address to the Shareholder Representative (which shall be effective only upon the receipt thereof by the Shareholder Representative). The Shareholder Representative shall not be responsible or otherwise liable for any misdirected payments (or to see that any Person receives any such payment) under this Agreement because such Person’s wire transfer instructions or notice address is incorrect, illegible or outdated.

(e) Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx shall serve as the Shareholder Representative until he resigns or is otherwise unable or unwilling to serve. In the event that a Shareholder Representative resigns from such position or is otherwise unable or unwilling to serve, the Sellers shall select, by the vote or consent of Sellers whose aggregate Allocation Percentages immediately prior to the Closing exceed 50%, a successor representative to fill such vacancy, shall provide prompt written notice to the Buyer of such change and such substituted representative shall then be deemed to be the Shareholder Representative for all purposes of this Agreement.

11.8 Assignment. This Agreement, and all rights and powers granted hereby, will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall have an absolute right to assign its rights under this Agreement in whole or in part at any time to an Affiliate of the Buyer without the Company’s, any Seller’s or the Shareholder Representative’s prior written approval; provided, however, that such assignment shall not relieve the Buyer of, and the Buyer shall remain jointly and severally liable with the assignee for, all obligations hereunder.

11.9 Disclosure Schedules. Notwithstanding the fact that the Disclosure Schedules are arranged by sections corresponding to the section in this Agreement or that a particular section of the Agreement makes reference to a specific Disclosure Schedule and notwithstanding that a particular representation and warranty may not make a reference to a Disclosure Schedule, a disclosure made in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed made in any other section of the Disclosure Schedule to which the relevance of such disclosure is readily apparent from the text of such disclosure. The inclusion of information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that a violation, right of termination, default, liability or other obligation of any kind exists with respect to any item, nor shall it be construed as or constitute an admission or agreement that such information is material to the Company or any Seller. In addition, matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules. Such additional

matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Neither the specifications of any dollar amount in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the item so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Person shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Further, neither the specification of any item or matter in any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedules is intended to imply that such item or matter, or other items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business, and no Person shall use the fact of setting forth or the inclusion of any such items or matter in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not in the ordinary course of business for purposes of this Agreement.

11.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws, as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies. In respect of any action, suit or other proceeding relating to this Agreement, each party hereby irrevocably submits to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court located in Delaware and waives any objection that such venue is an inconvenient forum.

11.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts (including by means of facsimile signature pages), each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any other document, shall be disregarded in determining any party’s intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

11.12 No Third Party Beneficiaries or Amendments. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Indemnified Parties solely in respect of ARTICLE 10, the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. In addition, no provision in this Agreement shall modify or amend any other agreement, plan, program, or document (including, for example, a retirement plan) unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision ‘amends’ such other agreement, plan, program, or document. The foregoing shall not prevent the parties entitled to enforce this Agreement from enforcing any provision in this Agreement, but no other party shall be entitled to enforce any provision in this Agreement on the grounds that it is an amendment to another agreement, plan, program, or document unless the provision is explicitly designated as such in this Agreement, and the person is otherwise entitled to enforce the other agreement, plan, program, or document. If a party not entitled to enforce this Agreement brings an Action to enforce any provision in this Agreement as an amendment to another agreement, plan, program, or document and that provision is construed to be such an amendment despite not being explicitly designated as an amendment in this Agreement, that provision shall lapse retroactively, thereby precluding it from having any amendatory effect..

11.13 Injunction; Specific Performance. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Buyer, the Company or the Sellers, as applicable, would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Buyer, the Company and the Sellers, as applicable, will be

entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breach of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and its terms and provisions, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled, at law or in equity.

ARTICLE VIIDisposition and Termination.

ARTICLE VIIIEscrow Agent’s Rights and Responsibilities. Escrow Agent agrees to hold the Deposit and to perform its obligations in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Parties agree that Escrow Agent shall not assume any responsibility for the failure of the Parties to perform in accordance with the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement and Escrow Agent has no knowledge of, nor any obligation to comply with, the terms and conditions of any other agreement between the Parties. The acceptance by Escrow Agent of its responsibilities hereunder is subject to the following terms and conditions, which the Parties agree shall govern and control with respect to Escrow Agent’s rights, duties and liabilities hereunder:

8.1 Documents. Escrow Agent shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, request, waiver, consent, receipt or other paper or document furnished to it, not only as to its due execution and validity and the effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information therein contained, which Escrow Agent in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports to be. Should it be necessary for Escrow Agent to act upon any instructions, directions, documents or instruments issued or signed by or on behalf of any corporation, partnership, fiduciary or individual acting on behalf of a Party hereto, it may be necessary for Escrow Agent to inquire into such corporation’s, partnership’s, fiduciary’s or individual’s authority; provided that Escrow Agent believes in good faith that the authority of such entity or individual is genuine. Escrow Agent shall not be liable to any Party, any beneficiary or other person for refraining from acting upon any instruction setting forth, claiming, containing, objecting to, or related to the transfer or distribution of the Deposit, or any portion thereof, unless such instruction shall have been delivered to Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 26 below and Escrow Agent has been able to satisfy any applicable security procedures as may be required thereunder.

8.2 Liability. Escrow Agent shall not be liable for action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken in good faith, except to the extent that a final adjudication of a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud was the cause of any loss to either Party. No party to this Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, war, terrorism, floods, strikes, electrical outages, equipment or transmission failure, or other similar causes reasonably beyond its control. Escrow Agent shall have only those duties as are specifically and expressly provided herein, which shall

be deemed purely ministerial in nature, and no other duties, including but not limited to any fiduciary duty, shall be implied. Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through affiliates or agents. In the event that Escrow Agent shall be uncertain or believe there is some ambiguity as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any Party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Agreement, or, with respect to the Primary Escrow Account, if Escrow Agent receives conflicting instructions from the Parties, it shall be entitled to (a) refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be given (i) joint written instructions executed by an Authorized Representative of each of Buyer and Representative, which eliminate such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of Escrow Agent or (ii) an Order (it being understood that Escrow Agent shall be entitled conclusively to rely and act upon any such Order and shall have no obligation to determine whether any such Order is final); or (b) file an action in interpleader. With respect to the Primary Escrow Account, the Parties agree to pursue any redress or recourse in connection with any dispute between them without making Escrow Agent a party to the same. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall Escrow Agent be liable for special, incidental, punitive, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

8.3 Legal Counsel. Escrow Agent may consult with, and obtain advice from, legal counsel in the event of any question as to any of the provisions hereof or its duties hereunder, and, except as provided in Section 8.2 hereof, it shall incur no liability and shall be fully protected in acting in good faith in accordance with the opinion and instructions of such counsel.

8.4 Limitation of Duties. Escrow Agent shall have no duties except those which are expressly set forth herein and it shall not be bound by any agreement of the Parties (whether or not it has any knowledge thereof) other than this Agreement.

8.5 Resignation or Termination of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall have the right to resign at any time by giving 30 days’ advance written notice of such resignation to the Parties, and the Parties shall have the right to terminate the services of Escrow Agent hereunder at any time by giving 30 days’ advance written notice (with such written notice being signed by Buyer and Representative) of such termination to Escrow Agent, in each case specifying the effective date of such resignation or termination. With respect to the Primary Escrow Funds, within five (5) Business Days after receiving or delivering such notice, as the case may be, the Parties agree to appoint a successor Escrow Agent to which Escrow Agent shall disburse the Primary Escrow Funds then held hereunder. With respect to the Secondary Escrow Funds, within five (5) Business Days after receiving or delivering such notice, as the case may be, the Representative agrees to appoint a successor Escrow Agent to which Escrow Agent shall disburse the Secondary Escrow Funds then held hereunder. If a successor Escrow Agent has not been appointed or has not accepted such appointment by the end of such 30-day period, Escrow Agent may (i) to the extent there are Primary Escrow Funds remaining at such time, interplead the Primary Escrow Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, and as between the Parties, the costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees which are incurred in connection with any such proceeding shall be shared equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Representative, on the other hand; (ii) to the extent there are Secondary Escrow Funds remaining at such time, interplead the Secondary Escrow Funds with a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for the appointment of a successor Escrow Agent, and the costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees which are incurred in

connection with any such proceeding shall be borne by Representative; or (iii) appoint a successor escrow agent of its own choice. Any appointment of a successor escrow agent shall be binding upon the Parties and no appointed successor escrow agent shall be deemed to be an agent of Escrow Agent. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, no Primary Escrow Funds shall be released from the Primary Escrow Account following the resignation or termination of Escrow Agent unless and until a successor Escrow Agent has been appointed in accordance with this Section 8.5 or in accordance with the directions of an Order, at which time of delivery Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section ARTICLE X. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing by the Representative and Escrow Agent, no Secondary Escrow Funds shall be released from the Secondary Escrow Account following the resignation or termination of Escrow Agent unless and until a successor Escrow Agent has been appointed in accordance with this Section 8.5 or in accordance with the directions of an Order, at which time of delivery Escrow Agent’s obligations hereunder shall cease and terminate, subject to the provisions of Section ARTICLE X.

8.6 Discharge of Escrow Agent. Upon disbursement of all of the Deposit pursuant to the terms of Sections ARTICLE V and ARTICLE VI above or delivery thereof to a successor escrow agent in accordance with this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall thereafter be discharged from any further obligations hereunder, except pursuant to Section 8.2. With respect to the Primary Escrow Account, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized, in any and all events, to comply with and obey any and all Orders and, if it shall so comply or obey, it shall not be liable to any other person or entity by reason of such compliance or obedience.

ARTICLE IXIncome Tax Allocation and Reporting; Tax Distributions.

9.1 The Parties agree that only for U.S. federal and all applicable state tax purposes the Deposit deposited by Buyer with Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as being held for the benefit of the Sellers. The Parties further agree that all income earned from the investment of the Deposit shall be allocated to the Sellers, in accordance to their respective percentage allocation in Exhibit A hereto, for tax purposes whether or not such income is distributed during such year. Escrow Agent shall report to the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”), or any other taxing authority, as of each calendar year-end on IRS Form 1099 or 1042-S (or other appropriate form), all income earned from the investment of the Deposit for the account of the Sellers (whether or not such income has been distributed during such year), as and to the extent required under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, as amended. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the income earned from the investment of the Deposit be reported as earned for the account of Buyer. The Parties hereby represent to Escrow Agent that no other tax reporting of any kind is required to be made by the Escrow Agent given the underlying transaction giving rise to this Agreement.

9.2 As an agreement with which Escrow Agent need not be concerned with respect to the underlying transaction, (i) at the time any amounts are distributed by Escrow Agent to the Sellers or Buyer (except for amounts attributable to income earned from the investment of the Deposit), Representative and Buyer shall jointly prepare a detailed schedule indicating the allocation of the disbursement amount from the Primary Escrow Amount, and Representative shall prepare a detailed schedule indicating the allocation of the disbursement amount from the Secondary Escrow Amount, between (1) principal, (2) imputed interest to be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT, (3) Original Issue Discount (“OID”) to be reported on IRS Form 1099-OID, and/or (4) the portion of the Primary Escrow Amount or the Secondary Escrow Amount delivered

to Buyer, along with the relevant payee tax information, documentation, and proportionate interest thereof, and (ii) based upon the schedule so prepared, Buyer shall issue Form(s) 1099 to the Sellers reflecting such imputed interest and/or OID set forth on such schedule.

Schedule B to
Escrow Agreement

purposes of the Municipal Advisor Rules, none of the funds (if any) currently invested, or that will be invested in the future, in money market funds, commercial paper or treasury bills under this Agreement constitute or contain (i) proceeds of municipal securities (including investment income therefrom and monies pledged or otherwise legally dedicated to serve as collateral or a source or repayment for such securities) or (ii) municipal escrow investments (as each such term is defined in the Municipal Advisor Rule). Each Party also represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that the person providing this certification has access to the appropriate information or has direct knowledge of the source of the funds to be invested to enable the forgoing representation to be made. Further, each Party acknowledges that the Escrow Agent will rely on this representation until notified in writing otherwise.

Patriot Act Disclosure. Section 326 of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (“USA PATRIOT Act”) requires Escrow Agent to implement reasonable procedures to verify the identity of any person that opens a new account with it. Accordingly, you acknowledge that Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act and Escrow Agent’s identity verification procedures require Escrow Agent to obtain information which may be used to confirm your identity including without limitation name, address and organizational documents (“identifying information”). You agree to provide Escrow Agent with and consent to Escrow Agent obtaining from third parties any such identifying information required as a condition of opening an account with or using any service provided by Escrow Agent.

OFAC Disclosure. Escrow Agent is required to act in accordance with the laws and regulations of various jurisdictions relating to the prevention of money laundering and the implementation of sanctions, including but not limited to regulations issued by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. Escrow Agent is not obligated to execute payment orders or effect any other transaction where the beneficiary or other payee is a person or entity with whom Escrow Agent is prohibited from doing business by any law or regulation applicable to Escrow Agent, or in any case where compliance would, in Escrow Agent’s opinion, conflict with applicable law or banking practice or its own policies and procedures. Where Escrow Agent does not execute a payment order or effect a transaction for such reasons, Escrow Agent may take any action required by any law or regulation applicable to Escrow Agent including, without limitation, freezing or blocking funds. Transaction screening may result in delays in the posting of transactions.

THE FOLLOWING DISCLOSURES ARE REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED UNDER APPLICABLE U.S. REGULATIONS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATION D. WHERE SPECIFIC INVESTMENTS ARE NOTED BELOW, THE DISCLOSURES APPLY ONLY TO THOSE INVESTMENTS AND NOT TO ANY OTHER INVESTMENT.

Demand Deposit Account Disclosure. Escrow Agent is authorized, for regulatory reporting and internal accounting purposes, to divide an escrow demand deposit account maintained in the U.S. in which the Deposit is held into a non-interest bearing demand deposit internal account and a non-interest bearing savings internal account, and to transfer funds on a daily basis between these internal accounts on Escrow Agent’s general ledger in accordance with U.S. law at no cost to the Parties. Escrow Agent will record the internal accounts and any transfers between them on Escrow Agent’s books and records only. The internal accounts and any transfers between them will not affect the Deposit, any investment or disposition of the Deposit, use of the escrow demand deposit account or any other activities under this

Agreement, except as described herein. Escrow Agent will establish a target balance for the demand deposit internal account, which may change at any time. To the extent funds in the demand deposit internal account exceed the target balance, the excess will be transferred to the savings internal account, unless the maximum number of transfers from the savings internal account for that calendar month or statement cycle has already occurred. If withdrawals from the demand deposit internal account exceeds the available balance in the demand deposit internal account, funds from the savings internal account will be transferred to the demand deposit internal account up to the entire balance of available funds in the savings internal account to cover the shortfall and to replenish any target balance that Escrow Agent has established for the demand deposit internal account. If a sixth transfer is needed during a calendar month or statement cycle, it will be for the entire balance in the savings internal account, and such funds will remain in the demand deposit internal account for the remainder of the calendar month or statement cycle.

Money Market Deposit Account Disclosure and Agreement. If a Money Market Deposit Account (“MMDA”) is the investment for the escrow deposit as set forth above or anytime in the future, you acknowledge and agree that U.S. law limits the number of pre-authorized or automatic transfers or withdrawals or telephonic/electronic instructions that can be made from an MMDA to a total of six (6) per calendar month or statement cycle or similar period.

The use of any account to conduct transactions (including, without limitation, the acceptance or receipt of funds through an electronic funds transfer, or by check, draft or similar instrument, or the proceeds of any of the foregoing) that are related, directly or indirectly, to unlawful Internet gambling is strictly prohibited.

THIS RELEASE AND WAIVER (this “Release and Waiver”) dated [ ], 2014 (the “Effective Date”) is given in connection with and in reliance upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated September 3, 2014 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Mattress Firm, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Mattress Firm Holding Corp., a Delaware corporation (“MFRM”), The Sleep Train, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), the undersigned shareholder of the Company (the “Seller”), the other shareholders of the Company signatory thereto, Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx, individually, solely for the purposes of Sections 3.6 and 6.5 therein, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx, individually, solely for purposes of Sections 3.7 and 6.5 therein, and Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx, in his capacity as the representative of the shareholders of the Company, and in consideration of the payments and other consideration received by the undersigned thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller represents and acknowledges that in executing this Release and Waiver, the Seller does not rely and has not relied upon any representation or statement, oral or written, not set forth herein or in the Purchase Agreement made by Buyer, MFRM, the Company, or any of their respective agents, representatives or attorneys with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this Release and Waiver or otherwise.

1. As of the Effective Date, the Seller hereby unconditionally, irrevocably, completely, and forever RELEASES, DISCHARGES and ACQUITS the Company and its shareholders, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors and assigns, together with their past and present directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, and any other party associated with the Company (collectively with the Company, the “Company Parties”), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from any and all claims, obligations, costs, losses, expenses (including attorney’s fees), causes of action, rights, demands, debts, liens, liabilities or damages of any nature whatsoever, whether known or unknown, pending or threatened, direct or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, including, without limitation, rights arising out of alleged violations of any contracts, express or implied, any covenant of good faith and fair dealing, express or implied, or any tort which the Seller has now or at any time hereafter may have by reason of any matter, cause, thing, act, occurrence, omission or any other factor, situation or event whatsoever that has arisen, occurred or accrued on or prior to the Effective Date against any of the Company Parties, including, without limitation, any claims (i) that arise out of the management or control of, or services provided to, the Company, (ii) that arise, whether in contract or in tort, based upon fraud or misrepresentation, breach of duty or common law, or (iii) that arise under or by virtue of any judicial decision, statute or regulation, for past, present, known, and unknown injuries, property or economic damage, and all other losses and damages of any kind, provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the releases granted herein shall not be deemed to release or waive any claim, demand, or cause of action, or damages and remedies related thereto, arising out of or in connection with: (A) the contracts listed on Exhibit A attached hereto, (B) any accrued and unpaid remuneration (including any bonus earned but as yet unpaid) or unreimbursed expenses, but solely to the extent accrued as a current liability of the Company as of the Effective Date, (C) any claims that cannot be released or waived by law, including without limitation any unemployment compensation claim or workers’ compensation claim (the settlement of which would require approval by the California Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board), (D) any rights relating exclusively to employee welfare or pension benefits as governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1976, as amended, (E) any right of any Seller in any item listed on Schedule 4.20(a) of the Disclosure Schedule to the Purchase Agreement that remains outstanding as of the Effective Date, (F) any right of any Seller under any insurance policy that was in effect on or prior to the Effective Date or the proceeds thereof (G) any right of any Seller to indemnification in his, her or its capacity as a director or an officer of the Company to the extent provided in any written agreement or the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents of any of the Company Parties, in each case as in effect as of the Effective Date. In addition, the Seller hereby waives all rights and benefits afforded by any state laws, including

but not limited to California Civil Code section 1542, which provide in substance that a general release does not extend to claims which a person does not know or suspect to exist in his, her or its favor at the time of executing the release which, if known by the Seller, must have materially affected the Seller’s settlement with the other party. The Seller acknowledges that the Seller is assuming the risk of such unknown claims, understands that this Release and Waiver applies thereto and expressly intends to waive such claims to the full extent that the Seller may lawfully do so. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Parties as defined and used herein shall not include the Buyer or MFRM and the Buyer and MFRM shall not be entitled to rely on or enforce this Agreement in their own right.

2. The Seller hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced any proceeding of any kind against any of the Company Parties based upon any claim released hereby. The Seller agrees to INDEMNIFY and DEFEND the Company Parties and to HOLD the Company Parties HARMLESS against all damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) from all claims that have been or that may later be asserted against any of the Company Parties by any person, entity, firm, or corporation claiming by, through, or on behalf of the Seller with respect to the claims released hereby.

3. The Seller represents and agrees that the Seller fully understands his, her or its right to discuss all aspects of this Release and Waiver with his, her or its private attorney, that to the extent, if any, that the Seller desires, the Seller has availed himself, herself or itself of this right, that the Seller has carefully read and fully understands all of the provisions of this Release and Waiver and that the Seller is voluntarily entering into this Release and Waiver.

4. Severability. If any term or provision of this Release and Waiver or the application hereof as to any person or circumstance shall to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms and provisions of this Release and Waiver or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Release and Waiver shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

5. Amendment. This Release and Waiver may not be amended, supplemented or modified except in writing signed by the person(s) against whose interest(s) such change shall operate.

6. Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, assigns, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto.

7. Choice of Law. The validity, construction and performance of this Release and Waiver and any action arising out of or relating to this Release and Waiver shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to the laws of such State as to choice or conflict of laws.

8. Consent to Forum, Venue and Jurisdiction. Each party hereto agrees that any action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Release and Waiver shall be brought and decided in the federal and/or state courts in Placer County, California and (i) irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, and (iii) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto.
