STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 29, 2011, by and among Riviera Operating Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“ROC”), and Riviera Holdings Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“RHC,” and, together with ROC, “Seller”), Riviera Black Hawk, Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), Monarch Growth Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Buyer”), and Monarch Casino & Resort, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Parent”). Each of Seller, Buyer and Parent is sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” All obligations and liabilities of Seller under this Agreement or any agreement contemplated herein shall be joint and several. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in Section 10.1.

WHEREAS, ROC is the sole stockholder of the Company and owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company (the “Purchased Shares”);

WHEREAS, Parent is the sole stockholder of Buyer;

WHEREAS, the Company is engaged in the business of operating a casino located in Black Hawk, Colorado, including gaming devices, table games, restaurants and a conference center, more commonly known as the Riviera Black Hawk Casino (the “Business”); and

WHEREAS, Seller believes that it is in the best interests of ROC to sell the Purchased Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase all of the Purchased Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual representations, warranties and covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

PURCHASE AND SALE OF PURCHASED SHARES

Section 1.1 Purchase and Sale of Purchased Shares

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to purchase, acquire and accept from ROC, and ROC agrees to sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Buyer, at the Closing, all of the Purchased Shares, free and clear of any Encumbrances, for the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE 2

PURCHASE PRICE

Section 2.1 Purchase Price and Closing Payment

(a) In consideration for the sale, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Purchased Shares pursuant to Section 1.1, at the Closing, Buyer shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, subject to Section 2.2, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller prior to the Closing, an amount equal to (a) Seventy-Six Million Dollars ($76,000,000), (b) (x) plus the Estimated Working Capital Excess, if any, or, as the case may be, (y) minus the Estimated Working Capital Deficiency, if any, in each case, as determined in accordance with Section 2.4, subject to subsequent final adjustment using the Final Working Capital Adjustment as provided for in Section 2.5, which shall be payable pursuant to Section 2.5(c) (the aggregate amount of clauses (a) and (b), the “Purchase Price”), (c) minus Retained Indebtedness, (d) minus the Deposit Escrow Amount, (e) minus the Outside Date Extension Amount (if applicable), and (f) minus the Indemnity Escrow Amount, (the aggregate amount of clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f), the “Closing Payment”). At the Closing, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit Escrow Amount to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by Seller prior to the Closing.

Section 2.2 Deposit Escrow Amount

(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit an amount of Three Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,800,000) (the “Deposit Escrow Amount”) with a commercial bank escrow agent mutually agreed to by Seller and Buyer (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to an escrow agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”). Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Parties shall execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement. The Deposit Escrow Amount and the Outside Date Extension Amount (if applicable), together with income earned thereon as provided in the Escrow Agreement (the “Deposit Escrowed Funds”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement for the purpose of securing Buyer’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) As further provided in Section 8.3(d)(i) and the Escrow Agreement, in the event that this Agreement is terminated before the Closing pursuant to Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(h) or Section 8.1(i), the Escrow Agent shall release the Deposit Escrowed Funds to Seller. As further provided in the Escrow Agreement, in the event that this Agreement is terminated before the Closing other than pursuant to Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(h) or Section 8.1(i), the Escrow Agent shall refund and release the Deposit Escrowed Funds to Buyer.

(c) All costs and expenses, and any indemnities in favor, of the Escrow Agent shall be paid one-half by Buyer or Parent, on the one hand, and one-half by Seller, on the other hand. If one Party pays more than its allocable share of such payments to the Escrow Agent, the other Party will promptly reimburse the paying Party for the amount of the excess payment.

Section 2.3 Indemnity Escrow

At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit an amount of Two Million Two Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($2,280,000) (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”) with the Escrow Agent,

pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Indemnity Escrow Amount, together with income earned thereon as provided in the Escrow Agreement (the “Indemnity Escrowed Funds”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement as a source of funds for paying any amount owed by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Article 9 and will be released to Buyer or Seller when and as provided in the Escrow Agreement. All costs and expenses, and any indemnities in favor, of the Escrow Agent shall be paid one-half by Buyer or Parent, on the one hand, and one-half by Seller, on the other hand. If one Party pays more than its allocable share of such payments to the Escrow Agent, the other Party will promptly reimburse the paying Party for the amount of the excess payment.

Section 2.4 Initial Working Capital

At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a certificate executed on behalf of ROC by the President of ROC, dated the date of delivery, stating that there has been conducted under the supervision of such officer a review of the information and data then available and setting forth an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date prepared in good faith substantially in the form of the Latest Audited Company Balance Sheet (the “Pre-Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date based on the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet (the “Pre-Closing Closing Statement”), which shall quantify in reasonable detail the items constituting such Working Capital. The Pre-Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Pre-Closing Closing Statement will contain (i) a good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Initial Working Capital”), which shall reflect adjustments (the “Adjustments”) substantially similar in form to those set forth in the Working Capital calculation attached as Exhibit B, and (ii) a statement of the amount by which (x) the Initial Working Capital exceeds the Working Capital Target Amount (such amount, the “Estimated Working Capital Excess”) or (y) the Working Capital Target Amount exceeds the Initial Working Capital (such amount, the “Estimated Working Capital Deficiency”). Each of Buyer and Seller shall bear its own expenses in the preparation and review of the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet and the Pre-Closing Closing Statement. Exhibit B sets forth a sample calculation of Working Capital, which is illustrative of the calculations used to arrive at the Working Capital Target Amount.

Section 2.5 Final Working Capital Adjustment

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer and Parent shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date in substantially the form of the Pre-Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date in substantially the form of the Pre-Closing Closing Statement (the “Closing Statement”), which shall quantify in reasonable detail the items constituting such Working Capital. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the Agreed Accounting Principles. The Closing Statement will set forth the aggregate amount of Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date, and shall reflect the Adjustments (the “Closing Date Working Capital”). Each of Seller and Buyer shall bear its own expenses in the preparation and review of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement. Subject to applicable Law, Seller will provide Buyer reasonable access to Seller’s records to the extent such records are reasonably related to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement.

(b) If Seller disagrees with the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital or any element of the Closing Balance Sheet or Closing Statement relevant thereto, Seller may, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of both of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement (the “Seller Review Period”), notify Buyer of such disagreement in writing (a “Balance Sheet Dispute Notice”), setting forth in detail the particulars of such disagreement and Seller’s proposed adjustments to the Closing Balance Sheet or Closing Date Working Capital. During the Seller Review Period, Buyer and Parent shall, during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice and in a manner that does not materially interfere with the business or operations of Buyer or its Affiliates, provide Seller with (i) such information as may be reasonably requested by Seller with respect to its review of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement, including all relevant accountant work papers, and (ii) reasonable access to the Company’s accounting personnel and outside accountant who developed the Closing Balance Sheet and other information contained in the Closing Statement. In the event that Seller does not provide a Balance Sheet Dispute Notice by the end of the Seller Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital delivered by Buyer and Parent, which shall thereupon be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement and not subject to any further recourse against Seller under any provision of this Agreement, including Article 9.

(c) In the event any Balance Sheet Dispute Notice is timely delivered, Buyer and Seller, in conjunction with their respective independent accounting firms, shall use their commercially reasonable efforts for a period of thirty (30) days from the date of first delivery of the Balance Sheet Dispute Notice (or such longer period as they may mutually agree in writing) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Statement or the calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve such disagreements, then the Auditor shall resolve any such remaining disagreements. The Auditor shall determine as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the submission of such dispute to the Auditor, whether the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Statement was prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in this Agreement and, only with respect to the disagreements submitted to the Auditor, whether and to what extent (if any) the Closing Date Working Capital requires adjustment within the range between Buyer’s calculation and Seller’s calculation of Closing Date Working Capital. The Auditor shall promptly deliver to Buyer and Seller its determination in writing (along with a statement of reasons therefor), which determination shall be made subject to the definitions and principles set forth in this Agreement. The fees and costs of the Auditor shall be payable one-half by Seller, on the one hand, and one-half by Buyer, on the other hand. The determination made by the Auditor shall be final, binding and conclusive for purposes of this Agreement and not subject to any further recourse by Buyer or Seller under any provision of this Agreement, including Article 9, absent manifest errors. The date on which the Closing Date Working Capital is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5 is hereinafter referred to as the “Determination Date.”

(d) Following the Determination Date, the “Final Working Capital Adjustment” will be calculated, which is an amount (which may be a positive or negative number) equal to (i) the Closing Date Working Capital minus (ii) the Initial Working Capital. If the Final Working Capital Adjustment is a positive amount, then Buyer shall pay to ROC such positive amount (along with interest, at the Applicable Rate, from the Closing Date through the payment date). If the Final Working Capital Adjustment is a negative amount, then ROC shall pay to Buyer such negative amount (along with interest at the Applicable Rate, from the Closing Date through the payment date). Any payments made pursuant to this Section 2.5(d) shall be made within five

(5) Business Days after the Determination Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Buyer or ROC, as applicable.

Section 2.6 Termination and Payments of Inter-Company Indebtedness and Affiliate Transactions

At the Closing, the Company shall, and Seller shall cause the Company to, (a) fund and make payments to the respective lender in respect of the Indebtedness set forth in Exhibit C, which shall include all of the Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing, other than Indebtedness set forth in Exhibit D which shall remain payable by the Company after the Closing (the “Retained Indebtedness”), and (b) terminate the Affiliate transactions set forth in Section 4.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter and pay any amounts owing by the Company to any Affiliate as of the Closing pursuant to such Affiliate transactions set forth in Section 4.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, including the Casino Management Payment. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Buyer with a final Section 4.4(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter setting forth all Indebtedness of the Company as of the date of delivery. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, based on the Indebtedness of the Company as set forth in final Section 4.4(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, Buyer shall notify Seller regarding which Indebtedness of the Company constitutes Retained Indebtedness. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Buyer with drafts of customary pay-off letters for all lenders holding Indebtedness set forth in Exhibit C and drafts of documentation to terminate and pay any amount owing by the Company to any Affiliate as of the Closing pursuant to the Affiliate transactions set forth in Section 4.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter and the Company shall provide satisfactory evidence to Buyer of arrangements with lenders for the delivery or recording of lien releases, cancelled notes, assignment of collateral and other documents reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the payment of such Indebtedness or termination of such Affiliate transactions.

Without limiting the covenants and agreements contained in Section 6.1, prior to the Closing, (a) Buyer shall not directly or indirectly control, supervise, direct or interfere with, or attempt to control, supervise, direct or interfere with, the operation of the Business on the Real Property, and (b) the operations and affairs of the Real Property shall be the sole responsibility of the Company and its Affiliates and shall be under the Company’s sole and complete control.

Section 6.12 Tax Matters

(a) Seller shall be responsible for and shall cause the Company to, and the Company agrees, to timely file (after taking into account any permitted extensions) any Tax Returns with respect to the Company with a filing due date that is after the Closing Date for Tax periods that end on or before the Closing Date. Seller shall permit Buyer to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence, prior to filing, and Seller shall make any revisions to such Tax Returns as may be reasonably requested by Buyer which Seller deems necessary (taking into account Seller’s consultation with the Company’s certified public accountants) in order to comply with applicable Laws. Buyer will be responsible for and shall cause the Company to timely file any income Tax Returns with a filing due date that is after the Closing Date for Tax periods of the Company that begin after the Closing Date. Seller will properly and timely file a consolidated federal income Tax Return with the Company and other Affiliates for the taxable period ended December 31, 2010.

(b) Seller agrees to be responsible for all Taxes related to pre-Closing Date periods and to pay all costs (including preparation fees) related to the following: (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on or before the Closing Date

(“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar Law, and (iii) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; provided, however, that, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, Seller shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes exceed the amount, if any, reserved for such Taxes (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) on the Closing Balance Sheet and taken into account in determining the Final Working Capital Adjustment. Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any Taxes of the Company that are the responsibility of Seller pursuant to this Section 6.12(b) no later than ten (10) days prior to the earlier of the payment of such Taxes being due by Buyer or the Company or the filing of the respective Tax Returns with respect to such Taxes.

(c) Buyer, Seller and the Company agree that, in the case of any taxable period that includes (but ends after) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period. Buyer shall cause the Company, and the Company agrees, to timely file any Tax Returns based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company with a filing due date after the Closing Date for Tax periods of the Company that end after the Closing Date.

(d) Except to the extent required by Law, Buyer shall not amend, and shall not permit the Company, and the Company agrees, to not amend, any income Tax Return or election made in connection with such income Tax Return for any Tax period ending on or prior to Closing without the prior written consent of Seller if such amendment would have the effect of increasing the amount of Tax payable by Seller with respect to such period.

(e) Buyer and Seller covenant and agree to cooperate with each other regarding Tax matters as follows:

(i) Buyer, the Company and Seller shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by a Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section 6.12(e) and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer, the Company and Seller agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority.

(ii) Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement).

(iii) Buyer and Seller further agree, upon request, to provide the other Party with all information that either Party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code, or Section 6043A of the Code, or Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(f) Buyer shall notify Seller in writing within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Buyer or the Company of any notice of audit or request for information regarding any Taxes and upon notice of any determination of liability for Taxes from an official inquiry, examination, audit or proceeding (each, a “Tax Determination”) regarding any Tax Return related to a period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall have the right to exercise control, on behalf of the Company for any such Tax Return, and at its own expense, at any time over the handling, disposition or settlement of any issue raised in any such Tax Determination, if and to the extent the disposition or settlement would be reasonably expected to result in a liability to the Company or Seller. If Buyer engages professionals to assist in the handling of the disposition or settlement of a Tax Determination, Seller shall pay up to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) of Buyer’ reasonable professional fees incurred in such matter ninety (90) days after the delivery to Seller of an invoice for such services, together with reasonable detail supporting the same. If Buyer is required to act as a result of Seller’s continued failure to handle, dispose of or settle such Tax Determination, Seller shall pay all of Buyer’s reasonable professional fees incurred in such matter within ninety (90) days after delivery to Seller of an invoice for such services, together with reasonable detail supporting the same. Buyer and the Company shall cooperate with Seller, as reasonably requested by Seller, in connection with any such Tax Determination, and each Party shall keep the other Parties reasonably informed as to the identification, nature, magnitude and proposed settlement of all issues in connection with any such Tax Determination.

(g) Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Seller of any Tax Determination regarding any Tax Return for the Straddle Period or any period thereafter. Seller, on behalf of the Company, for any pre-Closing period, and Buyer, on behalf of the Company, with respect to any post-Closing period, in each case, at its own respective expense, shall have the right to exercise control at any time over the handling, disposition or settlement of any issue raised in any such Tax Determination regarding any Straddle Period, if and to the extent the disposition or settlement would be reasonably expected to result in a liability or any additional Tax obligation of the Company for such period or any subsequent period. Buyer and the Company shall cooperate with Seller, as reasonably requested by Seller, in connection with any such Tax Determination, and each Party shall keep the other Parties reasonably informed as to the identification, nature, magnitude and proposed settlement of all issues in connection with any such Tax Determination.

(h) For avoidance of doubt, Buyer and Seller agree that Seller shall be entitled to claim any deductions for income tax purposes resulting from the following payments or write-offs in connection with the sale of the Purchased Shares pursuant to this Agreement (i) the payoff of Indebtedness at the Closing and the write off of costs and expenses incurred in connection with Indebtedness which is paid off at Closing, (ii) the payment of any amounts owing by the Company to any Affiliate as of the Closing pursuant to the Affiliate transactions set forth in Section 4.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, including the Casino Management Payment,

and (iii) any severance payments paid to Employees in connection with the termination of employment at or prior to Closing.

(i) Without limiting other provisions of the Agreement, after the date of this Agreement, Seller shall promptly provide information and documents reasonably requested by Buyer relating to the Company’s practices regarding (i) the collection of information necessary to prepare IRS Forms W-2G required to be prepared with respect to operations of the Company, (ii) the collection and payment of sales and similar Taxes with respect to complimentary goods and services provided to customers, and (iii) the compliance with other Tax-related matters relating to customers of the Company, in each case so as to reasonably permit Buyer to prepare Form W-2Gs in the ordinary course of business after the Closing.

(j) All sales, use, stamp, documentary, excise, registration, transfer and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) which may be payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement assessed against Seller shall be paid one-half by Seller and one-half by Buyer when due, and Seller shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such sales, use, stamp, documentary, excise, registration, transfer and other such Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(k) RHC shall timely file an election under Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-95(c) and (f) to apportion a sufficient amount of RHC’s various annual consolidated group Code Section 382 limitations to the Company as necessary to permit Buyer to utilize (taking into account the Buyer Limitations) an amount of the Company’s net operating loss carryovers, in a manner consistent with Exhibit F, that, together with other available NOL Equivalents, is equal to at least Fourteen Million Five Hundred Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($14,518,000). At Seller’s request, Buyer shall cause the Company to join with RHC in making any election required under Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-95(c) and (f) to accomplish the foregoing. Buyer acknowledges that, notwithstanding allocation of RHC’s various annual consolidated group Code Section 382 limitations as provided herein, Buyer shall be independently subject to its own limitations imposed by Sections 382 and 383 of the Code as a result of having closed on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Buyer Limitations”). For purposes of this Section 6.12(k), the term “NOL Equivalents” shall mean the FICA tax credits allocable to the Company under applicable Tax law divided by a 35% effective tax rate in order to equate such Tax credits to the Tax treatment accorded a net operating loss carryover deduction. From the date of this Agreement, RHC shall not, and simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, RHC has instructed the Auditor that, in preparing the consolidated federal income Tax Return of RHC for the tax reporting period January 1, 2011 through and including the Closing, the Auditor shall not, make any election to reduce the adjusted Tax basis of the depreciable assets owned by the Company as permitted under Sections 108(b)(5) and 1017 of the Code as a result of RHC, ROC and / or the Company realizing income arising from discharges of indebtedness in a “title 11 case” (as such term is defined in section 108(d)(2) of the Code) or where the debtor is insolvent (as such term is defined in section 108(d)(3) of the Code) in which RHC, ROC and the Company were debtors.

(l) RHC will file a “Section 1.1502-36 Statement” (as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36(e)(5)) with RHC’s timely filed U.S. federal consolidated income Tax Return for the consolidated Tax Return year ending December 31, 2012 making an election, that in the event that Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36 becomes applicable, to reduce ROC’s Tax basis, pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36(d)(6) in the stock of the Company (or

the equivalent item not yet taken into account under the U.S. federal consolidated Tax Return Treasury Regulations) by the smallest amount necessary to prevent the Company from experiencing any reduction of attributes described in Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36(d)(4)(i) as a result of the application of Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36(d). To the extent permitted by applicable Law, and provided it is consistent with the elections described above, RHC will make similar elections for purposes of (i) the alternative minimum Tax imposed under the Code, and (ii) state and local income Taxes. Further, RHC will not make an election under Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-36(d)(6)(i)(B) to reattribute all or any portion of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards that would otherwise be carried to the Company’s first separate Tax Return year (as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-1(e)) in accordance with this Section 6.12(l).

(m) Pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(A), the Tax year of the Company shall end, for federal income tax purposes, as of the close of the Closing Date, and the Company shall be included in the consolidated Tax filing group of Buyer beginning on the day immediately following the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller agree to report all transactions not in the ordinary course of business occurring on the Closing Date after the Closing on Buyer’s federal and state income Tax Returns for the taxable year in which the Closing Date occurs to the extent permitted by Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B); provided, however, that all intercompany Indebtedness owed by the Company to Seller or Seller’s Affiliates shall be paid, contributed to capital or otherwise satisfied prior to the Closing. Unless Buyer and Company otherwise agree in writing, no election shall be made under Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-76(b)(2)(ii), relating to ratable allocation of certain of items within a Tax year, or any similar provision of state or local Tax Law.

(n) Any Tax allocation or sharing agreement between either of ROC or RHC and the Company is terminated as of the Closing Date and shall have no further effect for the taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year). After the Closing Date, no Party shall have any rights or obligations under any such Tax allocation or sharing agreement.

(o) The Parties mutually agree that no Party shall make, or join in making, any election under Section 338 of the Code (including any election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code) or any corresponding elections under state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law, with respect to the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares.

Section 6.13 Company and Seller Indemnification

(a) From and after the Closing, Parent and Buyer shall cause the Company to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to the indemnification provisions under the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company as each is in effect on the date of this Agreement (the Persons entitled to be indemnified pursuant to such provisions, being referred to collectively as the “Company Indemnified Parties”). Parent and Buyer shall cause the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company to contain the provisions with respect to indemnification and exculpation from liability no less favorable than those set forth in the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company on the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of any Company Indemnified Party under such provisions.

(b) At the Closing, Buyer shall obtain and pay for a non-cancelable run-off directors’ and officers’ insurance policy in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller

that shall provide the insured Company Indemnified Parties with insurance coverage for events, acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date for six (6) years following the Closing of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured Company Indemnified Parties than the liability insurance coverage presently maintained for the insured Company Indemnified Parties.

(c) The obligations under this Section 6.13 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Company Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.13 applies without the consent of such Company Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Company Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.13 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.13 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

(d) In the event Parent, Buyer or the Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent, Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.13.

Section 6.14 Investigation; No Additional Representations

Buyer and Parent, in entering into this Agreement, are relying solely on the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement (as modified by the Seller Disclosure Letter), Seller and the Company have made no representation or warranty, express or implied, at Law or in equity, with respect to the Company or its business or financial condition or any of its assets, Liabilities or operations, including as to (a) any information made available to Buyer, Parent or their Representatives in the CIM, or (b) any projections, business plans or budgets of the Company.

Section 6.15 Confidential Nature of Information

Each Party agrees that, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing, it will treat in confidence all documents, materials and other information which it shall have obtained regarding the other Parties during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether obtained before or after the date of this Agreement), the investigation provided for in this Agreement and the preparation of this Agreement and other related documents, and, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not consummated, each Party will return to the other Parties all copies of nonpublic documents and materials which have been furnished in connection therewith. Such documents, materials and information shall not be communicated to any third Person (other than, in the case of Buyer or Parent, to its counsel, accountants, financial advisors or lenders, and in the case of Seller, to its counsel, accountants or financial advisors). No Party shall use any confidential information in any manner whatsoever except solely for the purpose of evaluating the proposed purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares and the Business; provided, however, that, after the Closing, Buyer or Parent may use or disclose any confidential information included in the Business or otherwise reasonably related to the Business. The obligation of each Party to treat such documents, materials and other information in confidence shall not apply to any information which (i) is or becomes available to such Party from a source other than the other Party, (ii) is or becomes available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Party or its agents, (iii) is independently developed by Seller or any of its

Affiliates, (iv) is required to be disclosed under applicable Law or judicial process, (v) such Party reasonably deems necessary to disclose to obtain any of the consents or approvals contemplated by this Agreement, or (vi) is disclosed or used by Seller or any of its Affiliates to enforce or protect its rights under this Agreement, in connection with Tax or other regulatory filings, litigation, financial reporting or any other reasonable business purpose. Prior to the Closing, in the event of any conflict between the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall prevail.

Section 6.16 Seller Covenant Not to Solicit Employees

(a) In recognition of the fact that Seller is receiving significant economic value under this Agreement, and in furtherance of the sale of the Purchased Shares and the Business to Buyer under this Agreement by virtue of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and more effectively to protect the value and goodwill of the Business so sold, Seller covenants and agrees that, for a period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not solicit or attempt to persuade any Employee to terminate such employment relationship (whether for the purpose of entering into any such relationship on behalf of any other business organization in competition with the Business or otherwise); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Seller from (i) engaging in the general solicitation (whether by newspaper, trade publication or other periodical, listing on any internet job site, or pursuant to the use of an executive search consultant) of employees (or hiring any employees that respond to such general solicitation) so long as such solicitation is not directed specifically at any Employee after the Closing, or (ii) soliciting any individual who is an Employee on the Closing Date but who, at the time of solicitation, is no longer employed by the Company.

(b) Seller covenants and agrees that, for a period of two (2) years, from and after the Closing Date, it will not divulge or make use of any Trade Secrets or other confidential information of the Business, other than the Las Vegas Player Information, or to disclose such Trade Secrets or other confidential information of the Business to Buyer, Parent or their Affiliates, or as otherwise excepted or permitted under this Section 6.16, whether with respect to what is deemed not to be confidential information, or with respect to permitted disclosures; provided, however, that Seller may disclose such Trade Secrets or other confidential information to its professional advisors in connection with the preparation of any audit of ROC’s or RHC’s Tax Returns, or the defense or prosecution of any claim brought under Article 9, or any Third Party Claim; provided, further, that the obligation of Seller under this Section 6.16(b) shall not apply to information which: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, or is generally known within the industry, without breach of the commitment provided for in this Section 6.16(b), or (ii) is required to be disclosed by Law, order or regulation of a Governmental Entity; provided, further, that in any such case, Seller shall notify Buyer as early as reasonably practicable prior to disclosure to allow Buyer to take appropriate measures to preserve the confidentiality of such information. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.16(b), the two-year time period above is not applicable to the Player’s Club Database, for which the covenant in this Section 6.16(b) is indefinite; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Seller’s ability to freely use the Las Vegas Player Information at all times.

(c) The Parties agree that the covenants set forth in this Section 6.16 are reasonable with respect to duration and scope. If Seller violates any of its obligations under this Section 6.16, Buyer or Parent may proceed against it at Law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Seller acknowledges that, a violation of this

Section 6.16 may cause Buyer or Parent irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Seller therefore agrees that, in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 6.16, Buyer and Parent shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to seek a temporary restraining order and to seek preliminary and final injunctive relief against Seller to prevent any violations of this Section 6.16, without the necessity of posting a bond. It is the intent and understanding of each Party that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Section 6.16, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 6.16 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency, and such court or agency shall be empowered to reform the terms of this Section 6.16 (including by modifying or reducing the duration, geographical area or scope of this Section 6.16) or to delete specific words or phrases included herein.

Section 6.17 Monthly Financial Statements and Other Financial Information

Prior to the Closing, subject to the terms of this Section 6.17, Seller shall cause the Company, and the Company agrees, to deliver to Buyer, (a) as soon as possible and in any event within twenty (20) days after the end of each month, a Company-prepared consolidating unaudited balance sheet and statement of income for the month then ended in accordance with GAAP, except for (i) normal year-end adjustments, which will not be material, individually, or in the aggregate, and (ii) the omission of footnote disclosures required by GAAP, and (b) as soon as practicable after becoming available, a Daily Managers’ Report for each Business Day of the Business. The Company agrees to make Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx (or an executive knowledgeable about the Business designated by ROC’s President and Chief Executive Officer should Xx. Xxxxxxx become unavailable for reasons beyond the control of Xx. Xxxxxxx or the Company) available to respond to questions concerning operational or financial matters of the Company, upon reasonable prior notice to ROC’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Xxxx Xxxx, and in a manner that reasonably minimizes the interference with Xx. Xxxxxxx’x performance of his duties to the Company and the disruption to the Company’s business activities. Buyer shall execute and deliver a confidentiality agreement in form and substance acceptable to Seller as a condition to receiving information pursuant to this Section 6.17. In addition, Buyer acknowledges that it is (i) aware that the United States securities laws would prohibit any Person who has material non-public information about RHC from purchasing or selling securities of RHC, or from communicating such information to any other Person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities, and (ii) familiar with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder to the extent such rules and regulations relate to the matters referred to in this Section 6.17. Buyer agrees that it will not use, or permit any other Person to use, any information received pursuant to this Section 6.17 in contravention of applicable securities laws, including the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.

Section 6.18 Payment of Stay Bonuses

After the Closing, the Company, as owned by Buyer, shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, pay the Stay Bonuses in accordance with the terms governing the payment of the Stay Bonuses; provided, however, that to the extent the aggregate amount payable pursuant to the Stay Bonuses exceeds the aggregate amount of the Stay Bonuses set forth on Section 4.4(e) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, such excess will be paid by Seller by appropriate allocation in the calculation of the Final Working Capital Adjustment. The Parties agree that the economic burden resulting from the Company’s payment of the Stay Bonuses shall be borne

50% by Seller and 50% by Buyer and that such burden shall be reflected in the Initial Working Capital and the Closing Date Working Capital.

Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, Seller and the Company will deposit into escrow with the Escrow Agent, a true, correct and complete copy, in native form, of the Player’s Club Database pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that, after the Closing, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict the Company’s ability to sell, pledge, lease, dispose of, grant, encumber, license, option, use, copy or transfer the Player’s Club Database.

(c) by Seller, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been consummated on or prior to the Outside Date; provided, however, that (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available to Seller if Seller’s misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date; or (ii) if, by the Outside Date, the condition set forth in Section 7.1(b) has not been satisfied, but Buyer and Parent are diligently pursuing such Governmental Approvals, Buyer may elect to extend the Outside Date on a one-time basis by a period of up to ninety (90) days, which election shall be effectuated by Buyer’s (1) delivering to Seller, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the original Outside Date, a certificate signed on behalf of each of Buyer and Parent by an executive officer of each notifying Seller of its intention to extend the original Outside Date and representing that Buyer has no reason to believe that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) (other than the obligation to obtain necessary Governmental Approvals under Section 6.5(a)(ii) and any items that by their terms are subject to receipt of Governmental Approvals under Section 6.5(a)(ii)) will not be satisfied, or are not capable of being satisfied, as the case may be, as of the original Outside Date, (2) depositing with the Escrow Agent an additional amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Outside Date Extension Amount”) on or before the original Outside Date, and (3) delivering to Seller, on the original Outside Date, a certificate signed on behalf of each of Buyer and Parent by an executive officer of each representing that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) and Section 7.3(b) (other than the obligation to obtain necessary Governmental Approvals under Section 6.5(a)(ii) and any items that by their terms are subject to receipt of Governmental Approvals under Section 6.5(a)(ii)) are satisfied, or, in the case of delivery of the items listed in Section 3.2 and Section 3.4, are capable of being satisfied, as the case may be, as of the original Outside Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall not have the option to extend the original Outside Date if Buyer’s or Parent’s misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the original Outside Date;

(d) by either Buyer or Seller, if (i) any Gaming Authority has either notified any Party, or made a determination, that such Gaming Authority will not issue to Parent, Buyer or their respective Affiliates or Gaming Representatives all necessary Gaming Approvals for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by the Outside Date, (ii) any Gaming Authority has advised Parent, Buyer or their respective Affiliates or Gaming Representatives to withdraw any application for Gaming Approvals for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and has not advised such Person to re-submit such application with modifications thereto) (but only if such application is a requirement for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), or (iii) not all material Governmental Approvals, including the Gaming Approvals, which are required to be obtained for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect on or prior to the Outside Date;

(g) by Buyer, if Seller has wrongfully terminated this Agreement or Seller has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement that (i) would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2, and (ii) if it is capable of cure, is not cured in all material respects within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof; provided, however, that if such breach cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period but can be reasonably cured prior to the Outside Date, and Seller is diligently proceeding to cure such breach, this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(g); provided, further, that if Buyer’s misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, Seller’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be terminated by Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.1(g);

(h) by Seller, if Buyer has wrongfully terminated this Agreement or Buyer has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement that (i) would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3, and (ii) if it is capable of cure, is not cured in all material respects within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof; provided, however, that if such breach cannot reasonably

be cured within such 30-day period but can be reasonably cured prior to the Outside Date, and Buyer is diligently proceeding to cure such breach, this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(h); provided, further, that if Seller’s misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, Buyer’s breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be terminated by Seller pursuant to this Section 8.1(h);

(i) by Seller,

(i) if the representation with respect to the condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) made in a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(c) was inaccurate as of the date of the certificate as a result of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.1, Section 5.2(a), Section 5.2(b), Section 5.3, Section 5.6, Section 5.7 or Section 5.9 (each, a “Rep Breach”), which Rep Breach is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice from Seller to Buyer identifying a purported Rep Breach (a “Rep Breach Notice”); or

(ii) if the representation with respect to the condition set forth in Section 7.3(b) required to be certified pursuant to Section 8.1(c) made in a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(c) was inaccurate as of the date of the certificate as a result of a breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation required to be performed by either Buyer or Parent under this Agreement set forth in Section 6.2(a), Section 6.2(c), Section 6.5 or Section 6.20 (each such breach and each Rep Breach is also referred to herein as a “Closing Risk”), which Closing Risk is not cured within ten (10) days after written notice from Seller to Buyer identifying a purported Closing Risk (each such notice and each Rep Breach Notice is also referred to herein as a “Closing Risk Notice”);

provided, however, that, if a Closing Risk cannot reasonably be cured within such ten (10)-day period, but can be reasonably cured within twenty (20) days after Seller’s giving of a Closing Risk Notice, and Buyer or Parent, as the case may be, is diligently proceeding to cure such Closing Risk, this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 8.1(i) before the expiration of such twenty (20)-day period; provided, further, that if Buyer, within ten (10) days after Seller’s giving a Closing Risk Notice, provides Seller with written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that (A) the assertion of a Closing Risk was not accurate as of the date of the certificate, or (B) Buyer has already effected a cure of the Closing Risk, Seller shall be deemed to have withdrawn its Closing Risk Notice; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(i) shall not be available to Seller if Seller’s misrepresentation or breach of representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of, or materially contributed to, the inaccuracy in a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.1(c);

(j) Buyer may not terminate this Agreement based solely on Seller’s breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in Section 6.12(k); provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.1(j) shall prevent Buyer or Parent from exercising its right to indemnification under Article 9 based on Seller’s breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in Section 6.12(k).

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination

In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1:

(a) this Agreement shall immediately become null and void and of no further force or effect, and there shall be no Liability on the part of Buyer, Parent or Seller, or their respective Affiliates or Representatives hereunder, other than pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 6.4(a), Section 6.6, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3, Article 10, Section 10.14 and Section 10.16; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.2 shall relieve or limit the Liability of any Party for any breach by such Party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance by any other Party of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent specific performance is available to such Party under the terms of this Agreement; and

(b) the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect.

Section 8.3 Remedies

(a) Mutual Remedies before the Closing. Notwithstanding any termination right granted in Section 8.1, in the event of the nonfulfillment of any condition to a Party’s Closing obligations, in the alternative, such Party may elect to proceed to close, notwithstanding the nonfulfillment of a Closing condition, it being understood that consummation of the Closing shall be deemed a waiver of the breach of the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that caused the nonfulfillment of such condition and of such party’s rights and remedies with respect thereto to the extent that such Party shall have actual knowledge of such breach and the Closing shall nonetheless occur.

(b) Equitable Relief. The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the covenants in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the covenants set forth in this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date. Such remedies shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies, including damages, that any Party may have under applicable Law or under Article 9.

(c) Buyer’s Remedies before the Closing. In the event that the Closing does not occur, Buyer shall have all remedies available to it at Law or in equity.

(d) Seller’s Remedies before the Closing.

(i) In the event that this Agreement is terminated before the Closing pursuant to Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(h) or Section 8.1(i), then Buyer shall pay to Seller the Deposit Escrowed Funds by causing the Escrow Agent to release the Deposit Escrowed Funds to Seller (the “Seller Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Seller to Buyer no later than five (5) Business Days after the date of such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Buyer be obligated to pay, or cause to paid, the Seller Termination Fee on more than one (1) occasion. Seller’s right to receive the Seller Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and its Affiliates against Buyer, Parent and their respective current, former or future Affiliates and representatives for any Damages suffered in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if this Agreement is terminated before the Closing pursuant to Section 8.1(d), Section 8.1(h) or Section 8.1(i) and payment of the Seller Termination Fee shall be an absolute defense against any claim brought by Seller and its

Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.3(d)(i) to the contrary, in the event that this Agreement is terminated before the Closing pursuant to Section 8.1(d), Buyer shall not be required to pay to Seller the Seller Termination Fee unless Seller is in compliance in all material respects with its obligations under this Agreement, including its obligation under Article 6, and shall have satisfied all conditions precedent to the Closing set forth in Section 7.2 (other than those conditions which can only be satisfied at the Closing). The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3(d)(i) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that the Damages resulting from termination of this Agreement under circumstances where a Seller Termination Fee are payable are uncertain and incapable of accurate calculation and that the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.3(d)(i) are not a penalty, but rather constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Seller in the circumstances in which such Seller Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Seller would not enter into this Agreement.

(ii) In the event that the Closing does not occur, in all circumstances other than upon Buyer’s or Seller’s termination of this Agreement before the Closing pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or Seller’s termination of this Agreement before the Closing pursuant to either Section 8.1(h) or Section 8.1(i), Seller shall have all remedies available to it at Law or in equity.

remain in full force and effect for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is three (3) months after the expiration of the nonsolicitation period provided therein, and (ii) Section 9.3 (Tax Payments and Indemnification) and Section 6.12 (Tax Matters) shall remain in full force and effect for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the later of the date that is forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto and the date that is forty-five (45) days after the third anniversary of the Closing Date, except in each case with respect to unperformed obligations arising from a claim asserted in good faith by Parent and Buyer in reasonable detail in writing prior to the end of such period.

(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall defend, indemnify, save and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives, equityholders, successors and assigns (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all costs, losses, Liabilities, damages, claims, demands, expenses, including interest, penalties, actual and reasonable professional fees (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees) and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing (herein, “Damages”), paid or incurred, in connection with, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation made by Seller contained or referred to in this Agreement or any certificate or other writing, including exhibits (other than the License Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement), delivered by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including in the Escrow Agreement;

(ii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by Seller in this Agreement or in the Escrow Agreement; or

(i) any breach of any warranty or the inaccuracy of any representation made by Buyer or Parent contained or referred to in this Agreement or any certificate or other writing, including exhibits (other than the License Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement), delivered by or on behalf of Buyer or Parent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including in the Escrow Agreement;

(ii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed, by Buyer or Parent in this Agreement or in the Escrow Agreement; or

(iii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement made, or to be performed by, the Company in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, in each case, after the Closing.

Section 9.3 Tax Payments and Indemnification

(a) In the case of any Straddle Period, the amount of Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to be, (i) in the case of Taxes imposed on real, personal and intangible property and any other Taxes levied on an annual or other periodic basis (“Per Diem Taxes”) of the Company, the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire relevant Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in subparagraph (i) above, the amount of any such Taxes shall be determined as if such taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

(b) Seller shall be liable for and pay, and, pursuant to this Article 9, shall indemnify, save and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnified Party from and against any and all Damages paid or incurred, in connection with, arising out of or resulting from Taxes (including Taxes pursuant to a Contract or otherwise) payable by the Company, or for which the Company is liable, in each case attributable to taxable years or periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, except to the extent such Taxes have been accrued on the Closing Date Balance Sheet and taken into account in determining the final Closing Date Working Capital. Buyer shall be liable for and pay, and, pursuant to this Article 9, shall indemnify Seller from and against, all Taxes applicable to the Company that are attributable to taxable years or periods beginning after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable for or pay, and shall not indemnify Seller from and against, any Taxes for which Seller is liable under this Agreement; including pursuant to the preceding sentence or Section 6.12.

(c) Seller, Parent or Buyer, as the case may be, shall provide reimbursement for any Tax paid, plus professional fees incurred by one Party all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the other Party in accordance with the terms of Section 6.12 or this Section 9.3 without regard to the Threshold or Cap. Not later than ten (10) days prior to the payment of any such Tax, the Party paying such Tax shall give notice to the other Party of the Tax payable and the portion which is the liability of each Party, although failure to do so will not relieve the other Party from its liability hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the covenants and agreements of Buyer and Seller under this Section 9.3 shall remain in full force and effect for the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the earlier of the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable thereto, and the date that is thirty (30) days after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, except in each case with respect to unperformed obligations arising from a claim asserted in good faith by Buyer or Seller in reasonable detail in writing prior to the end of such period.

Section 9.4 Procedure for Claims between Parties

(a) If a claim for Damages is to be made by a Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), such Indemnifying Party shall give written notice briefly describing the claim and the total monetary Damages (or, if not reasonably capable of calculation, an estimate of the total monetary Damages) sought (each, an “Indemnification Notice”) to the indemnifying party

hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party” and collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) within a reasonable time period after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event that may give rise to Damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Article 9.

(b) Any indemnification claim under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3 must be made against the Indemnity Escrowed Funds until the Indemnity Escrowed Funds have been fully exhausted or fully disbursed.

Section 9.5 Defense of Third Party Claims

(a) If any lawsuit or enforcement action is filed against an Indemnified Party by any third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) for which indemnification under this Article 9 may be sought, an Indemnification Notice thereof shall be given to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as practicable. The failure of any Indemnified Party to timely give an Indemnification Notice hereunder shall not affect the rights to indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party was actually materially prejudiced by such failure.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, if it so elects at its own cost and expense, to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of a Third Party Claim, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (provided, however, that such attorneys are reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) to handle and defend the same, and (iii) compromise or settle such claim, which compromise or settlement shall be made only (x) with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, or (y) if such compromise or settlement contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Third Party Claim and any appeal arising therefrom; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, participate in (but not control) the investigation, trial and defense of such lawsuit or action and any appeal arising therefrom. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to insurers. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such claim within thirty (30) days after the Indemnification Notice was given, the Indemnified Party against which such claim has been asserted will have the right to undertake, subject to the provisions and limitations of Article 9, the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such claim shall not be compromised or settled without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld, and any such compromise or settlement shall include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim. If the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of the claim, the Indemnified Party will keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of the progress of any such defense, compromise or settlement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.5, any Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled, if it so elects, at its own expense, to (x) take control of the defense and investigation of any Third Party Claim which relates to compliance with applicable Laws, issues relating to the reputation of Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or the ongoing business operations of Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, (y) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice to handle and defend the same, and (z) compromise or settle such claim.

Section 9.6 Limitations on Indemnity

(a) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall, with respect to any claim for indemnification, seek, or be entitled to, indemnification from Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) unless (i) written notice of such claim is given to the Indemnifying Party during the applicable Survival Period, specifying the details of the alleged misrepresentation, breach of warranty or liability, and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Damages for which such Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) exceeds, on a cumulative basis, Five Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($570,000) (the “Threshold”), after which such Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover, subject to the limitations in this Section 9.6(a), the entire Damages amount, including the amount below the Threshold. In no event shall the aggregate Damages recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) exceed, on a cumulative basis, Seven Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($7,600,000) (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Threshold and Cap shall not apply to indemnification claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) with respect to breaches of the representations and warranties of Seller in Section 4.1 (Organization of Seller and the Company; Subsidiaries and Investments), Section 4.2(a) (Authority), Section 4.3 (Capitalization), Section 4.12 (Environmental Matters), Section 4.16 (Taxes) and Section 4.19 (Brokers); provided, however, that with respect to breaches of such representations and warranties, and breaches of covenants and agreements hereunder, including Section 9.3, in no event shall the aggregate Damages recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to such sections, covenants and agreements hereunder, together with all other Damages recovered under Section 9.2(a), exceed the Closing Payment as subsequently adjusted for the Final Working Capital Adjustment.

For this purpose, the shortfall in NOL Equivalents shall be equal to Fourteen Million Five Hundred Eighteen Thousand Dollars ($14,518,000) reduced by the amount of NOL Equivalents made available by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 6.12(k) (taking into account the Buyer Limitations).

flow or a multiple of any other financial measure of performance, or punitive damages, other than punitive damages awarded to a third party, (ii) the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recovery under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 to the extent the matter in question, taken together with all similar matters, does not exceed the amount of any reserves and accruals with respect to such matters, which are reflected in the calculation of Closing Date Working Capital, (iii) no Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any Damages to the extent that such Damages suffered by any Indemnified Party result from the failure of such Indemnified Party to take reasonable and prudent action in good faith, if appropriate under the circumstances, to mitigate such Damages, including the use of commercially reasonable efforts to recover under a policy of insurance or to assert contractual rights, and, in any event, to the extent of any recovery under a policy of insurance or a contractual right; provided, however, that such mitigation would have materially decreased the amount of Damages being sought by the Indemnified Party, and (iv) the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recovery under Section 9.2 with respect to a breach of Section 4.16 to the extent the Tax matter for which a claim had been asserted is less than the estimate, accrual or reserve for accrued Taxes on the Closing Statement (as adjusted, if applicable, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.5), net of all other Tax matters which have theretofore been charged against such estimate, accrual or reserve.

Section 9.7 Exclusive Remedy

Except as provided in Section 6.16, after the Closing, the indemnities provided in this Article 9 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for Damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims regarding matters arising under or otherwise relating to this Agreement and each exhibit (other than the License Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement), the Seller Disclosure Letter, document or certificate delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Buyer, Parent and Seller hereby waives (and, by their acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement, each Buyer Indemnified Party and Seller Indemnified Party hereby waives), from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from fraud, intentional misrepresentation with intent to mislead, remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law, or equitable remedies) such Party may have against the other Party arising under or based upon this Agreement or any exhibit (other than the License Agreement and the Transition Services Agreement), the Seller Disclosure Letter, document or certificate delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and no legal action sounding in tort, statute or strict liability may be maintained by any Party with respect thereto (other than a legal action brought solely to enforce the provisions of this Article 9). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.7, in the case of (a) any fraud or intentional misrepresentation with intent to mislead, (b) remedies that cannot be waived as a matter of Law, or (c) equitable remedies, any Indemnified Party shall have all remedies available at Law or in equity with respect thereto.

Section 10.4 Interpretation

When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections or exhibits, such reference shall be to a Section or exhibit of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. All exhibits to this Agreement and the Seller Disclosure Letter are incorporated herein by reference. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The phrase “made available” in this Agreement shall mean that the information referred to has been made available if requested by the Party to whom such information is to be made available.

Section 10.5 Headings

The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.6 Entire Agreement

This Agreement and all documents and instruments referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. References in this Agreement to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not include references to the Confidentiality Agreement, which is independent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate at the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the Confidentiality Agreement shall preclude Buyer, Parent or Seller, or their respective Affiliates, from making any disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which is required by Law or applicable stock exchange rules. The Parties make no representations or warranties to each other, except as contained in this Agreement, and any and all prior representations and warranties made by any Party or its Representatives, whether verbally or in writing, are deemed to have been merged into this Agreement, it being intended that no such prior representations or warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Buyer and Parent acknowledge that any estimates, forecasts, or projections furnished or made available to it concerning the Company, the Business or the Company’s properties or assets have not been prepared in accordance with GAAP or standards applicable under the Securities Act, and such estimates reflect numerous assumptions, and are subject to material risks and uncertainties. Buyer and Parent acknowledge that actual results may vary, perhaps materially. Buyer and Parent further acknowledge that they have conducted an independent investigation of the financial condition, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and the Business in making their determination as to the propriety of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in entering into this Agreement, have relied solely on the results of said investigation and on the express representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement.

Section 10.7 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 and such term so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party or provision shall be ineffective to the extent, but only to the extent, of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or provisions or any other provisions of this Agreement, unless such a construction would be unreasonable.

Section 10.8 Assignment

Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, by operation of Law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, however, that (a) ROC may assign any of its rights hereunder to RHC, and (b) Buyer may assign any of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to Parent or a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Any attempted or purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever.

Section 10.9 Binding Effect; Parties of Interest

Subject to Section 10.8, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement except as expressly provided in this Agreement, including in Section 6.13 and in Article 9 (which, from and after the Closing, shall be for the benefit of each Indemnified Party).

Section 10.10 Mutual Drafting

Each Party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each Party acknowledges is the result of good faith negotiations among the Parties. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Amendment

This Agreement may be amended by Buyer, Parent and Seller; provided, however, that such amendment is effected by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Buyer, Parent and Seller.

Section 10.12 Extension; Waiver

At any time prior to the Closing, any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of

such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any Party or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

Section 10.13 Seller Disclosure Letter

Seller has set forth information in the Seller Disclosure Letter in a section thereof that corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates. A matter set forth in one section of the Seller Disclosure Letter need not be set forth in any other section of the Seller Disclosure Letter so long as its relevance to the latter section of the Seller Disclosure Letter or section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent on the face of the information disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter to the Person to which such disclosure is being made. Such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material,” “Material Contract,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement. The inclusion of any item in the Seller Disclosure Letter is not evidence of the materiality of such item for the purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.14 Parent Guarantee

(a) Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees and promises to Seller, in order to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement (i) the payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price and any other amounts payable by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement when and to the extent the same shall become due and payable, and (ii) the performance, fulfillment and observance of each agreement, condition, covenant, obligation and undertaking of Buyer and the Company (as owned by Buyer after the Closing) under this Agreement and all Ancillary Agreements or agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). If Buyer or the Company (as owned by Buyer after the Closing) shall fail to pay any amounts due under this Agreement when and to the extent the same shall become due and payable, or shall fail to perform, fulfill or observe any of the Guaranteed Obligations in the manner provided in this Agreement or any relevant Ancillary Agreements or agreement executed in connection with this Agreement, Parent will upon written demand from Seller promptly pay or cause to be paid such amount to Seller or perform, fulfill or observe or cause to be performed, fulfilled or observed such Guaranteed Obligation, as the case may be. The Guaranteed Obligations under this guaranty shall constitute an absolute and unconditional present and continuing guarantee of payment and performance to the extent provided herein and not of collectability, and shall not be contingent upon any attempt by Seller to enforce payment or performance by Buyer.

(b) The Guaranteed Obligations under this guaranty are absolute and unconditional, are not subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction, abatement or defense based upon any claim Parent or Buyer may have against Seller, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to (i) any agreement or modification to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement which may hereafter be made relating thereto, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver by Seller of any right, power, privilege or remedy under or in respect of this Agreement, (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, reorganization or the like of Parent or Buyer at any time, or (iv) absence of any notice to, or knowledge by, Parent of the existence or occurrence of any of the matters or events set forth in the foregoing subparagraphs (i) through (iii). Parent will continue to own all of the outstanding equity or membership interests of Buyer, and maintain the legal existence of Buyer, and upon any dissolution, liquidation or

reorganization of Buyer at any time, Parent shall directly and unconditionally assume all payment and performance Guaranteed Obligations of Buyer under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) Parent unconditionally waives (i) any and all notice of default, non-performance or non-payment under this Agreement, and (ii) all notices which may be required by Law or otherwise to preserve intact any rights of Seller against Parent, including any demand, presentment or protest, or proof of notice of non-payment under this Agreement.

Section 10.15 Facsimile Signatures; Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.16 Fees and Expenses

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Closing is consummated, provided that any fees or expenses associated with obtaining any Governmental Approval shall be paid by Buyer. Buyer shall pay 50% and Seller shall pay 50%, of (a) the Escrow Agent’s fees and any indemnities in favor of the Escrow Agent, (b) the fees and costs of the Auditor pursuant to Section 2.5(c), and (c) all sales, use, stamp, documentary, excise, registration, transfer and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) which may be payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement assessed against Seller. Buyer shall pay any government fees for any necessary filings required under the HSR Act (the “HSR Fees”); provided, however, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1 by Seller for any reason other than a material breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of Buyer or by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1(h), Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for the payment of 50% of the HSR Fees.

Section 10.17 Governmental Reporting

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to mean that a Party or other Person must make or file, or cooperate in the making or filing of, any return or report to any Governmental Entity in any manner that such Party or Person reasonably believes or reasonably is advised is not in accordance with Law.
