(i) On a date not less than two nor more than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller Representative shall prepare a preliminary statement of the Net Working Capital of the Company and the Subsidiaries estimated as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”) from the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries (the “Estimated Working Capital Statement”). The Estimated Working Capital Statement shall be prepared by Seller Representative in good faith.

(ii) If the Estimated Net Working Capital as shown on the Estimated Working Capital Statement is (A) less than $0, then the Purchase Price and the portion thereof representing the Cash at Closing shall be reduced by the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than $0 or (B) greater than $0, then the Purchase Price and the portion thereof representing the Cash at Closing shall be increased by the amount by which the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than $0.

(b) Final Closing Working Capital Statements.

(i) Delivery of the Preliminary Closing Working Capital Statement. Within thirty days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller Representative a statement of the Net Working Capital of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Working Capital Statement”). The Preliminary Working Capital Statement shall be prepared to the extent practicable in a manner consistent with the principles used in preparing the Estimated Working Capital Statement, but in all events in a manner consistent with Exhibit B.

(ii) Final Closing Working Capital Statement. Seller Representative shall complete his review of the Preliminary Working Capital Statement within twenty days after the delivery thereof (the “Seller Review Period”).

Buyer and Seller Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Preliminary Working Capital Statement as to which no Objection Notice is delivered or as to the entire Preliminary Working Capital Statement if no Objection Notice has been delivered by Seller Representative to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Seller Review Period. If no Objection Notice has been delivered to Buyer prior to the expiration of the Seller Review Period or Buyer and Seller Representative reach agreement on the Preliminary Working Capital Statement within thirty days following delivery of an Objection Notice, such statement shall be the “Final Working Capital Statement.” If, however, Buyer and Seller Representative are unable to reach agreement on the Preliminary Working Capital Statement within thirty days after the expiration of the Seller Review Period, then the parties shall submit the matter to the office of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx LLP closest in proximity to Charlotte, North Carolina, or such other public accounting firm of good regional reputation as is acceptable to the parties hereto (the “Accountants”), for resolution. The Accountants shall consider only those items with respect to which objections were raised in the Objection Notice. Such resolution by the Accountants shall be set forth in a written report (the “Accountants’ Report”) delivered by the Accountants to the parties within thirty days following the submission of such dispute to the Accountants, and the Preliminary Working Capital Statement as modified in accordance with the Accountants’ Report shall be the “Final Working Capital Statement,” which shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto. The fees charged by the Accountants shall be paid by the parties in proportion to the Accountants’ findings of relative error on disputed matters. The Net Working Capital reflected on the Final Working Capital Statement shall be the “Closing Net Working Capital.”

(c) Final Closing Adjustments. In the event that the result of the Closing Net Working Capital is less than the result of the Estimated Net Working Capital (the amount of such shortfall is hereinafter referred to as the “Shortfall”), then Sellers shall promptly pay to Buyer the Shortfall in cash, or at the option of Buyer, the Shortfall shall be paid by a reduction of the principal amount of the Promissory Note, and in the event that the result of the Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital (the amount of such excess is hereinafter referred to as the “Excess”), then Buyer shall promptly pay to Sellers the Excess in cash, or at the option of Sellers, the Excess shall be paid by an increase of the principal amount of the Promissory Note. Such payments if made in cash shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided in writing by the recipient.

With respect to (ii) above, the Sellers, the Individual Guarantors or their Affiliates, as applicable, shall have a reasonable opportunity to cure any such violation following written notice thereof prior to being in breach of this Section. In order to ensure Sellers’ compliance with the foregoing, Buyer shall, upon any Seller’s request, identify those Subsidiary employees that are no longer employed by a Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.07(b) shall not apply to Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, who currently work, and may continue to work following the Closing, for certain Subsidiaries and certain Affiliates of FS-BDI. Each of Buyer and FS-BDI agree that it will not encourage, and will cause its respective Affiliates and their respective employees not to encourage, any such employee to leave such employment with the other.

(c) Sellers acknowledge that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.07 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agree that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Sellers of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other equitable relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(d) Sellers acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.07 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.07 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.07 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

(e) Each of the Individual Guarantors severally and not jointly agrees to be bound by the covenants contained in this Section 5.07.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall assist Buyer in designating new managers and obtaining new fingerprints as necessary for the post-Closing transition of the existing Permits required in order to serve alcoholic beverages. The parties hereto shall not willfully take any action that will have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any required consents, authorizations, orders and approvals.

Sellers shall give notice to Buyer with respect to any meeting, discussion, appearance or contact with any Governmental Authority or lessor, with such notice being sufficient to provide Buyer with the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting, discussion, appearance or contact.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5.08 shall require, or be construed to require, Buyer or any of its Affiliates to agree to (i) sell, hold, divest, discontinue or limit after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or interests of Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary; (ii) any conditions relating to, or changes or restrictions in, the operations of any such assets, businesses or interests which, in either case, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect or materially and adversely impact the economic or business benefits to Buyer of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or (iii) any material modification or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Sellers agree that Buyer is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of Sellers, its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and, after the Closing Date, the Company and the Subsidiaries) against any such Tax or basis reduction of any Tax asset.

Section 6.02 Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing material Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon the Company or the Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date.

(a) in the case of Taxes (i) based upon, or related to, income, receipts, profits, wages, capital or net worth, (ii) imposed in connection with the sale, transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) required to be withheld, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b) in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period.

Section 6.05 Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation.

(a) Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree that, consistent with Revenue Ruling 99-6, Situation 2, the purchase and sale of the LLC Interests as contemplated by this Agreement shall together be treated, for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes, as a sale of the LLC Interests by Sellers and a purchase of the assets of the Company and of any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. The parties hereto agree to report the transactions for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes in all respects consistently with such treatment and shall not take a position inconsistent with such treatment on any Tax Return or any Tax-related legal proceeding.

(b) 754 Election. At Buyer’s option and as specified by Buyer, the Company, the Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries and Sellers (if necessary) shall join with Buyer in making a timely election under Section 754 of the Code (and any corresponding election under state and local Law) with respect to the deemed purchase and sale of the membership interests of such Subsidiaries hereunder (collectively, a “Section 754 Election”). Buyer shall pay any Tax attributable to the making of the Section 754 Election and Buyer shall indemnify Sellers against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay any such Taxes.

Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.08 herein shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

Section 6.06 Contests. Buyer agrees to give written notice to Sellers of the receipt of any written notice by the Company, any Subsidiary or Buyer which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by Buyer pursuant to this Article VI (a “Tax Claim”). Sellers, at their option and at their expense, shall be entitled to control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that Seller shall obtain the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that Buyer shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose, the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by Buyer.

Section 6.07 Cooperation and Exchange of Information. Sellers and Buyer shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article VI or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company and the Subsidiaries. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Sellers and Buyer shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company and the Subsidiaries for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Company and the Subsidiaries for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, Sellers or Buyer (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

Section 6.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Sellers or the Individual Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 8.02, in the event of an inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties in Section 3.01 or 3.03(b) by a Seller, only the breaching Seller shall be responsible for indemnification with respect thereto;

Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify and defend Sellers and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

Section 8.04 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Section 8.02 and Section 8.03 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) Subject to Section 2.06, Sellers shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) (i) for any Loss until the amount of such Loss exceeds $1,000 in which event Sellers shall be required to pay or be liable for the entire such Loss, and (ii) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.02(a) exceeds $100,000, in the aggregate (the “Baskets”), in which event Sellers shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing, Sellers shall not be liable to Buyer for any Losses in an aggregate amount in excess of $1,500,000 except that such limitation shall not apply to the extent that it is exceeded on account of (A) actual fraud by Sellers or the Individual Guarantors, (B) the failure of Sellers to convey to Buyer good title free from Encumbrances as to the LLC Interests other than Permitted Interest Encumbrances, and (C) any matter disclosed on Sections 3.16(a) or 3.16(d) of the Disclosure Schedule or any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations set forth in Sections 3.16(a) or 3.16(d) above (it being understood, however, that the maximum aggregate amount for which the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to indemnification from any Seller pursuant to this Article VIII shall in no event exceed the portion of the Purchase Price actually received by such Seller).

- 47 -

(b) Buyer shall not be liable to Seller Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 8.03(a) until the individual amount of any Loss and the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.03(a) exceeds the Baskets, in which event Buyer shall be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses from the first dollar. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Buyer shall not be liable to Sellers for any amount in excess of $1,500,000 except that such limitation shall not apply to the extent that it is exceeded on account of a claim involving actual fraud by Buyer.

(c) Solely for purposes of calculating the amount of any Loss resulting from a breach of the representations or warranties set forth herein, “materiality” and Material Adverse Effect qualifications shall be disregarded, but such qualifications shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, be disregarded for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred.

(d) Recovery by Buyer Indemnitees for Losses pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid first by reduction of the Promissory Note, and then Sellers shall be required to pay all of such additional sums due and owing to the Buyer Indemnitees as and when set forth in this Article VIII.

(e) No Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified with respect to any claim to the extent that the matter that is the subject of the claim was (i) taken into account in determining the Closing Net Working Capital or any adjustments to the Purchase Price, (ii) raised in connection with determining the Closing Net Working Capital and resolved by agreement of the parties or through the dispute resolution procedures described herein with respect to determining Closing Net Working Capital or (iii) caused or aggravated by the operation of the business of the Company or its Subsidiaries following Closing or caused or aggravated by actions or omissions of any Buyer Indemnitee following the Closing Date, which cause or aggravation was unreasonable, negligent, outside the ordinary course of business or in violation of this Agreement. To the extent a Buyer Indemnitees’ Losses relate to a Subsidiary that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, such Buyer Indemnitees’ right to indemnification with respect to such Losses shall be limited to an amount of such Losses equal to the Company’s percentage share of such Subsidiary set forth in Section 3.04(a) of the Disclosure Schedules. No party shall be obligated to indemnify any other party with respect to any claim that relates to Losses resulting from the passing of or change in any applicable Law or any accounting policy, principle or practice after the Closing Date or any increase in Tax rates in effect on the Closing Date, even if the change or increase has retroactive effect or requires action at a future date.

- 48 -

(f) Each Buyer Indemnitee and Seller Indemnitee will use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) mitigate Losses after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder and (ii) seek to recover such Losses under all Alternative Arrangements. Except pursuant to a written settlement agreed to by the Indemnifying Party, no Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee that is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party shall waive or release any contractual right to recover from a third party any Losses subject to (or that may be subject to) indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. Each Buyer Indemnitee and Seller Indemnitee seeking indemnification hereunder will, and will cause its Affiliates (including the Company if the Company is an Affiliate) to, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, with respect to any such effort to pursue and collect with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that a recovery is made under an Alternative Arrangement by any Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee with respect to any Losses which have been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery (up to the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party hereunder) shall be made promptly to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this Article VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 15 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Sellers, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required (as evidenced by an opinion of counsel). If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

- 49 -

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

- 50 -

(d) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary shall be governed exclusively by Article VI hereof.

Section 8.06 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such ten Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to and including the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to fifteen percent (15%).

Section 8.07 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 8.08 Effect of Investigation. Subject to Sections 4.09 and 5.02 hereof, the representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be, but with respect to indemnification of Buyer as to a matter it shall be acknowledged, if relevant to such matter, that Buyer prior to the Closing was itself involved in the same business as is conducted by the Company and the Subsidiaries.

Section 8.09 Exclusive Remedies. From and after the completion of the purchase and sale of the LLC Interests, and subject to Section 5.07, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.09 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s actual fraud.

- 51 -

(c) Acts by Seller Representative Binding on Sellers. Each Seller Indemnitee hereby agrees that he or it shall act, in connection with the matters covered by this Agreement, including Article VIII of this Agreement, including without limitation the defense or settlement of any claims for indemnification, solely through Seller Representative.

The acts of Seller Representative pursuant to this Article X shall be binding upon each of the Seller Indemnitee.

(d) Rights of Seller Representative. Seller Representative shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to them by any Seller or any other evidence deemed by Seller Representative to be reliable. Seller Representative shall be fully justified in failing or refusing or take any action under this Agreement unless they shall have received such advice or concurrence of Sellers as they deem appropriate or unless they shall have been expressly indemnified to their satisfaction by the Seller Indemnitees, jointly and severally, against any and all liability and expense that they may incur by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.

Seller Representative shall be entitled to consult with counsel of their choosing (the cost of which shall be paid by all Sellers) and shall be fully protected in any act taken, suffered, or permitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of counsel.

(g) Reliance. Each Seller agrees that Buyer and the Company (after the Closing) shall be entitled to rely on the actions taken by Seller Representative, and that each action taken by Seller Representative shall be binding on each of Sellers as if such action had been performed by them. Sellers jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnitee from and against any Losses that any of them may suffer, sustain or become subject to as the result of any claim by any of Sellers that an action taken by Seller Representative purportedly on behalf of Sellers pursuant to the authorization in this Article X is not binding on or enforceable against any of Sellers.

Section 10.18 Guaranty. To the extent the Buyer Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification for Losses pursuant to Section 8.02(a) above, and the Buyer Indemnitees are able to prove that the Individual Guarantors had actual knowledge as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date that the representation or warranty giving rise to such indemnification was not true when made, the Buyer Indemnitees may seek indemnification from the Individual Guarantors, and the Individual Guarantors shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from, such Losses (in all cases subject to the limitations set forth in Article VIII, including, without limitation, the Baskets, caps and time limitations), if, and only if (a) the Promissory Note has been paid in full and (b) the Buyer Indemnitees have first pursued reasonable but unsuccessful efforts to collect such Losses from Sellers.

Pledge Agreement

PLEDGE AGREEMENT

THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is effective as of _________, 2015, and entered into between BAD DADDY’S INTERNATIONAL, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Pledgor”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of GOOD TIMES RESTAURANTS, INC., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”), and XXXXXX X. XXXXXXXX (“Agent”). Agent has been appointed by Sellers to act on their behalf and for their benefit with respect to this Agreement and their rights in and to the Collateral hereunder. This Agreement is given (i) in connection with that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith executed by Parent (the “Note”) and payable to Sellers and (ii) pursuant to the terms and conditions of that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 24, 2015, by and among Parent, Sellers and the other parties thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”). Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the same meaning given to such term in the Purchase Agreement.

1. Pledge. Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, delivers, sets over, conveys and transfers to and hereby grants to Agent, on behalf of and for the benefit of Sellers, a continuing security interest in and to the following property (the “Collateral”):

(a) all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of each of Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar of Mooresville, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, and Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar of East Boulevard, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (collectively, the “Interests”);

(b) all other securities, instruments, cash, options, warrants, rights and other property issued or accepted in substitution for or in addition to the Interests; and

(c) all proceeds of any and all of the foregoing, including all: (i) rights, benefits, distributions, premiums, profits, dividends, interest, cash, instruments, documents of title, accounts, contract rights, general intangibles, payment intangibles, deposit accounts, chattel paper, and other property from time to time received, receivable, or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, or as a replacement of or a substitution for, any of the Interests, or proceeds thereof (including any cash, equity interests or other securities or instruments issued after any recapitalization, readjustment, reclassification, merger or consolidation with respect to the Interests and any security entitlements, as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in North Carolina from time to time (the “U.C.C.”), with respect thereto); (ii) “proceeds,” as such term is defined in Section 9-102(a)(64) of the U.C.C.; (iii) proceeds of any insurance, indemnity, warranty, or guaranty (including guaranties of delivery) payable from time to time with respect to any of the Interests, or proceeds thereof; and (iv) payments (in any form whatsoever) made or due and payable to Pledgor from time to time in connection with any requisition, confiscation, condemnation, seizure or forfeiture of all or any part of the Interests, or proceeds thereof.

2. Obligations.

(a) General. This Agreement and the security interest granted hereby secure the payment of all obligations of Parent to Sellers under the Note and the obligations of Pledgor under this Agreement, in each case whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses, indemnity or reimbursement payments or otherwise, any and all renewals, extensions, refinancings and modifications thereof, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Sellers or Agent in connection with the exercise of their rights and remedies hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (together, the “Obligations”). So long as any of the Obligations are outstanding, unless and until the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), Pledgor shall retain all rights to distributions and voting rights with respect to the Collateral. In the event an Event of Default has occurred, Agent may, in its discretion, vote and exercise all of the powers of an owner with respect to any of the Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the other remedies provided herein and in addition thereto, Agent may, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, take all steps necessary to cause the Collateral to be transferred into the name of Agent, and in connection therewith, Pledgor appoints Agent Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute and deliver such offers, tender offers, certificates, documents or instruments of every nature or description required for the purpose of the transfer of such the Collateral into the name of Agent, or any other person, and to take any other action and to execute any instrument which Agent may deem necessary or reasonably advisable to enable Agent to realize the benefit of the security interest provided for in this Agreement, all at Pledgor’s expense.

(b) Interests Distributions. If Pledgor receives any portion of income, gain, loss, deduction, or credit allocable to the Collateral, or distributions or payments in respect of the Collateral, Pledgor may retain such income, gain, loss, deduction, credit, distributions or payments as its own property unless prior to such receipt an Event of Default has occurred. After an Event of Default has occurred, promptly upon receipt thereof by Pledgor and without any request therefor by Agent, Pledgor shall deliver (properly endorsed where required hereby or requested by Agent) to Agent all such income, gains, losses, deductions, credits, distributions and payments, all of which shall be held by Agent as additional Collateral for application to the Obligations.

(c) Voting. After an Event of Default has occurred, upon notice to Pledgor by Agent, all rights of Pledgor to exercise or refrain from exercising voting or other consensual rights in respect of the Collateral shall cease and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Agent who shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other consensual rights. Furthermore, promptly upon request of Agent, Pledgor shall deliver to Agent such proxies and other documents as may be reasonably necessary to allow Agent to exercise such voting and other consensual rights with respect to any Collateral.

(d) Certificates. Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees that the Interests are uncertificated and shall remain uncertificated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Interests become certificated at any time, all such certificates and instruments representing or evidencing any Collateral shall be immediately delivered to Agent and shall be held by Agent, shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, and shall be accompanied by all necessary instruments of transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank.

3. Further Action by Pledgor. Pledgor shall, at the expense of Pledgor, promptly execute and deliver all further notices, instruments and documents, including, without limitation, financing statements, and take all such further action as may be necessary or reasonably advisable or as Agent at any time may reasonably request, in order to perfect, preserve and protect the security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Agent to exercise and enforce such rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Collateral.

- 2 -

4. No Duty. The powers conferred to Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon them to exercise any such powers. Beyond reasonable care in the custody of any Collateral in their possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by them hereunder, Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral. Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Collateral, or from any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency, or other agent selected by Agent in good faith.

5. Representations and Warranties of Pledgor.

(a) Pledgor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, is member managed, and subject to the representations and warranties of Sellers in the Purchase Agreement, has good and marketable title to (and has full right and authority to pledge and assign), all Collateral, free and clear of all liens or other charges or encumbrances, except the security interest granted pursuant hereto in favor of Agent.

(b) The filing of a UCC-1 financing statement and, to the extent the Collateral is certificated, the delivery of the Collateral to Agent, are each effective to create a valid, perfected, first priority security interest in such Collateral and all proceeds thereof, securing the Obligations, except that the filing of a financing statement, the taking of possession or some other action may be required under Section 9-306 of the U.C.C. to perfect a security interest in certain proceeds of the Collateral that does not constitute Interests or other securities or instruments.

(c) No authorization, approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is or will be required either (i) for the pledge by Pledgor of any Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or for the execution, delivery, or performance of this Agreement by Pledgor, or (ii) for the exercise by Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in, and in accordance with the terms of, this Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement (except as may be required in connection with a disposition of any Interests by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally).

6. Additional Covenants.

(a) Pledgor will not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or encumber in any other manner the Collateral (except in favor of Agent hereunder). Pledgor will warrant and defend the right, title and security interest herein granted to Agent in and to the Collateral (and all right, title and interest represented by the Collateral) against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.

(b) Pledgor will pay all taxes, assessments and charges levied, assessed or imposed upon the Collateral before the same become delinquent or become liens upon any of the Collateral except where the same may be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and as to which adequate reserves have been provided.

- 3 -

(c) Pledgor will furnish to Agent written notice of the occurrence of any event which would make any representation contained in Section 5 untrue at such time.

7. Defaults. A default (an “Event of Default”) shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder if (a) both (i) Pledgor fails in any material respect to perform any material obligation hereunder or Parent fails in any material respect to perform any material obligation in the Note, and (ii) Agent gives to Pledgor or Parent, as applicable, written notice thereof and such default shall not have been cured within ten days or such additional time as may be granted to effect such cure if approved by Sellers or Agent, or (b) if any of the Collateral shall be levied upon or seized in any legal proceeding, or held by virtue of any lien or distress, or any lien other than the security interest granted hereunder in favor of Agent shall attach to any of the Collateral.

8. Remedies. Upon and after the occurrence of any Event of Default which is then continuing or which has not been cured within the time period given for such cure:

(a) Agent may, in his discretion, exercise his rights with respect to the Collateral, without regard to the existence of any other security or source of payment for Obligations, including, without limitation, the rights set forth in Section 2, and may demand, xxx for collection or make any other compromise or settlement with respect to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to them, and Agent shall have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party in the State of North Carolina under the U.C.C. Without limitation of the above, Agent may take all or any of the following actions: (i) transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the name of Agent or his nominee, without disclosing that such Collateral is subject to the lien hereunder, (ii) take control of any proceeds of the Collateral, and (iii) execute (in the name, place and stead of Pledgor) endorsements, assignments, transfer powers and other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Collateral.

(b) Except as specifically reserved herein, Pledgor waives all suretyship defenses at law and in equity, including waste and impairment of the Collateral, and further waives the requirement of any demand and presentment. Ten (10) days’ prior notice to Pledgor at the address provided below or at such other address as Pledgor shall provide to Agent in writing for such purpose, of the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral, or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made, shall constitute reasonable notification.

(c) Agent is authorized at any such sale (including without limitation any sale to Sellers or any affiliate thereof, the same being expressly authorized and contemplated herein), if Agent deems it advisable to do so, in order to comply with any applicable securities laws, to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Sales made subject to such restriction shall not, solely by reason thereof, be deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

(d) All cash proceeds received by Agent in respect of any sale, collection or other enforcement or disposition of the Collateral shall be applied (after deduction of any amounts payable to Agent for reasonable expenses of the sale, collection or disposition of the Collateral) against Obligations in such order as Agent shall elect. Upon payment in full of all Obligations, Pledgor shall be entitled to the return of all the Collateral pledged by Pledgor and all proceeds thereof, which have not been used or applied toward the payment of Obligations as herein authorized.

- 4 -

(e) Pledgor shall use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement valid and binding and in compliance with any and all applicable requirements of law.

9. Waivers and Amendments. Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, Pledgor waives presentment, demand, notice and protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, and notice of all action by Agent in reliance hereon. No failure by Agent to exercise, no delay by Agent in exercising, and no single or partial exercise of, any right, remedy or power hereunder or under any other agreement relating to the Obligations or to the Collateral shall operate as a waiver thereof, or of any other right, remedy or power at any time. No amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless contained in a writing signed by Agent. Any such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

10. Indemnity and Expenses. Pledgor hereby indemnifies and holds harmless Agent from and against any and all claims, losses, and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent caused by the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent. Upon demand, Pledgor will pay, or cause to be paid, to Agent the amount of any and all expenses actually incurred, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel and of any experts and agents, which Agent incur in connection with the administration of this Agreement, the custody, preservation, use, or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Collateral, the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Agent hereunder and any action taken by Agent hereunder, and the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

11. Release of Collateral.

TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT

This Transition Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) dated this 24th day of April, 2015 (the “Effective Date”) is entered into among Good Times Restaurants, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”), and FS Food Group, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Company”). Each of Buyer and Company are sometimes hereinafter referred to as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

RECITALS

Buyer has entered into a contract with the owners of Bad Daddy’s International, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“BDI”), to purchase all of the membership interests of BDI (the “Acquisition”). BDI owns certain subsidiary entities in whole or in part (the “BDI Subsidiaries”) which operate Bar Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants (the “Restaurants”). Prior to such purchase Company has provided substantial services for the operation of the Restaurants which, as set forth in this Agreement, Buyer wishes to be continued for a specified period of time.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Transition Services.

(a) Services. Company shall provide to Buyer, BDI and the BDI Subsidiaries those services (collectively, the “Services”) described in the numbered Schedules attached hereto (collectively, the “Services Schedules”) to assist Buyer, BDI and the BDI Subsidiaries to operate the Restaurants for the time period set forth in the Services Schedules. In addition, upon Buyer’s request, Buyer and Company shall negotiate in good faith to amend the Services to require Company to perform additional Services pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such additional Services are reasonably necessary or appropriate to operate the Restaurants in a manner similar to or compatible with their present operation and were provided by Company to BDI and/or the BDI Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof. In connection with Company’s provision of the Services hereunder, Company shall provide Buyer, BDI and the BDI Subsidiaries during normal business hours, with commercially reasonable access to, and the commercially reasonable assistance of, Company’s employees responsible for performing the Services, and Company will cause such employees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of and assist Buyer, BDI and the BDI Subsidiaries in the provision of the Services hereunder.

(b) Quality of Services. Company warrants that the Services will be performed in substantially the same manner that Company performed the Services for the BDI Subsidiaries and the Restaurants prior to the Closing Date (as defined below).

(c) No Improvements. In connection with the performance of the Services, Company will have no obligation to (i) upgrade, enhance or otherwise modify any computer hardware, software or network environment currently used or (ii) except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, convert any data from one format to another for use by Buyer or any other Person (as defined below) in connection with the Services or otherwise; provided, however, that Company shall cooperate with Buyer in the event that Buyer engages in such upgrades, enhancements, modifications or changes of format at the Buyer’s sole expense.

(d) BDI Assets. Buyer hereby agrees that to the extent that the rendering of any of the Services requires the use of any BDI or BDI Subsidiary assets, Company shall have the use of such assets as necessary to render such Services. Buyer shall instruct its employees to cooperate with Company in connection with its provision of the Services hereunder.

2. Transition Services Representatives; Transition Planning. Each of Buyer and Company shall appoint and maintain a representative for the Services (each a “Services Representative”) who shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the overall intent of this Agreement with respect to such Services; (ii) supervise the activities of their respective employees with respect to such Services; and (iii) serve as a point of contact for the other Party with respect to questions and issues that may arise in connection with the Services and, in the case of Company, to receive all instructions from Buyer with respect to Services to be performed by Company employees. The initial Services Representative for Company shall be Xxxx Xxxxxx for so long as he is employed by Company. The Services Representative for Buyer shall be Xxxxx Xxxxx for so long as he is employed by Buyer.

3. Security. Company shall implement and use all reasonable safeguards to protect the data in its possession that is owned by Buyer, BDI, the BDI Subsidiaries and the Restaurants consistent with its practices in protecting its own data. Buyer shall implement and use all reasonable safeguards to protect the data in its possession that is owned by Company consistent with its practices in protecting its own data.

4. Intellectual Property. Each Party shall retain all right, title and interest in and to its intellectual property used in connection with the Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Company acknowledges and agrees that all right, title, and interest to data generated or collected and intellectual property acquired by Company as a result of providing the Services under this Agreement shall be owned by Buyer or BDI, as the case may be.

5. Term and Termination.

(a) Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the date of the closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing Date”) and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) the date this Agreement is terminated in accordance with the provisions of Section 5(b) below and (ii) unless another date is set forth with respect to a particular Service on the Services Schedules, the last day of the second full accounting period of BDI following the Closing (the “Transition Period”). If, in spite of the commercially reasonable efforts of the Parties, the Service(s) are not transitioned to Buyer, BDI or the BDI Subsidiaries as of the expiration of the Transition Period, Buyer may request in writing that Company extend the Transition Period during which Company provides such remaining Services for one additional accounting period of BDI and the Parties shall mutually agree in good faith upon the terms of such extension (the “Term Extension”). Buyer’s request for a Term Extension shall specify, in reasonable detail, the scope and nature of the Service(s) to be provided by Company during the Term Extension. Should the closing of the Acquisition not occur for any reason, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the expiration of the term of the last Service provided hereunder.

(b) Termination. Upon written notice to the other Party, this Agreement may be terminated: (i) by Company due to the failure by Buyer to pay any amount due to Company under this Agreement, which failure continues for more than 10 days following written notice thereof from Company, provided however that Company may not so terminate this Agreement or suspend performance of Services for non-payment in the event of a good faith dispute between the Parties as to the amounts due hereunder; or (ii) by either Party due to the material default of a Party in performing any covenant or agreement under this Agreement, which default continues uncured for more than 10 days following written notice thereof; or (iii) by Buyer, with respect to a particular Service, on 10 days’ written notice that Buyer is no longer in need of such Service, provided that this clause (iii) shall not apply with respect to those Services that relate to a Required Contract, without Company’s written consent.

(c) Effect of Termination. The expiration or termination of this Agreement, or the term during which a particular Service is being provided, shall not relieve Buyer of its responsibility for paying all amounts due and satisfying all obligations with respect to any products or services acquired or ordered or obligations incurred by Company, on behalf and upon the instruction of Buyer, BDI or any BDI Subsidiaries, prior to such expiration or termination.

6. Payment Terms.

(a) In connection with Company performing each of the Services during the term thereof, Buyer shall pay Company for each such Service the amounts set forth on the Services Schedules; provided that, except as otherwise set forth in Section 5(c) above, if any, in the event that Company ceases to perform any particular Service pursuant to a request made by Buyer, Buyer shall pay for such terminated Service only through the end of such Services (and any accounting period fee relating to such terminated Service shall be prorated for Services provided during any partial month).

(b) Other than with respect to the Accounting Fee and hourly fees described on the Services Schedules, which will be invoiced in connection with each accounting period end, Company will invoice Buyer for all other amounts due hereunder on a bi-weekly basis. All invoices delivered by Company shall be accompanied by reasonable documentation supporting the invoiced amounts and shall be paid by Buyer within seven (7) days of receipt. Should Buyer dispute any portion of any invoice in good faith, Buyer will promptly notify Company in writing of the nature and basis of the dispute.

(c) Any sums mistakenly received by either Party, either during the Transition Period or thereafter, shall be remitted to the Party entitled to receive such funds within seven (7) days of receipt. Either Party mistakenly making any payment to suppliers or vendors of the other Party at any time shall be entitled to prompt reimbursement from such other Party upon written notice detailing the payment made, a copy of the information relating to the account paid and proof of payment.

7. Confidentiality. Buyer and Company acknowledge that, by reason of their relationship, they may have access to certain information and materials concerning the other’s business and products (including, but not limited to, information and materials contained in technical data provided to the other party, information concerning the Restaurants, financial information and data, strategies and marketing and customer information) which is confidential and of substantial value to the other Party, which value would be impaired if such information were disclosed to third parties (“Confidential Information”). Each Party agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents and other representatives not to, use in any way (other than in connection with performing its obligations hereunder), for their own account or the account of any third party, or disclose to any third party, any such Confidential Information without prior written authorization from the other party, except as otherwise required by applicable laws, a court of competent jurisdiction or the rules of a national securities exchange and then only after providing the other Party reasonable prior notice of such required disclosure in order to permit such Party to seek an appropriate protective order. Each Party shall take precautions to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information consistent with the efforts exercised by it with respect to its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, a Party (the “Recipient”) who receives Confidential Information from the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) shall not be required to hold in confidence information that (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of these provisions by the Recipient, (b) may be required for such Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement or (c) becomes available to the Recipient subsequent to the date hereof on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party or from the provision of the Services, provided that the source of such information was not, to Recipient’s knowledge, bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or bound by any other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Disclosing Party with respect to such information. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. For purposes hereof, “Affiliate” of a Person means any other Person that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Person. The term “control” (including the terms “controlled by” and “under common control with”) means the ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities of a Person or possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to elect or appoint fifty percent (50%) or more of the directors or managers of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. For purposes hereof, “Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, governmental authority, unincorporated organization, trust, association or other entity.

8. Company Indemnification. Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and Buyer’s and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents and other representatives from and against any and all damages, claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any claim made by any third party arising out of Company’s breach of this Agreement or Company’s or its employees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

9. Buyer Indemnification. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Company, its Affiliates and Company’s and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents and other representatives from and against any and all damages, claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with any claim made by any third party arising out of Company’s performance of the Services (other than to the extent arising out of Company’s breach of this Agreement or Company’s or its employees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct), Buyer’s breach of this Agreement or Buyer’s or its employees’ gross negligence or willful misconduct. This provision shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

10. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO EACH PARTY’S OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 7, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE AND STRICT LIABILITY) OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY LOSSES ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT THAT: (I) ARE IN THE NATURE OF LOST PROFITS OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; OR (II) EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF FEES ACTUALLY PAID TO COMPANY BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, COMPANY SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any relationship of agency, joint venture or partnership between Company or any of its Affiliates and Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Each Party agrees to provide such information and assistance as the other Party may reasonably request to enable each Party to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

(b) Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) of the other Party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Company from designating, in its sole discretion, one or more of its Affiliates to perform the Services required hereunder; provided, that, Company remains primarily responsible for any breach of this Agreement and any failure of such Affiliate to perform the Services in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Force Majeure. Continued performance of any Service may be suspended immediately by Company to the extent made impossible by any event or condition beyond the reasonable control of Company, including, without limitation, acts of God, fire, flood, labor or trade disturbance, war, riots, civil commotion, compliance in good faith with the requirements of any applicable laws or governmental order (whether or not it later proves to be invalid), widespread unavailability of necessary materials, or other event or condition whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing (a “Force Majeure Event”). Company shall give prompt notice to Buyer of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event giving rise to any suspension of a Service and of the nature and anticipated duration of such Force Majeure Event, and Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure the cause of such suspension promptly.
