1.11

Restrictive Covenants.

1.11.1

Each Seller and Shareholder hereby agrees that for the [*] year period from and after the date hereof (the “Restricted Period”) such Seller and Shareholder shall not, directly or indirectly, through an Affiliate or otherwise, either for his, her or its own benefit or for the benefit of any other Person, without the prior written consent of Buyer which consent may be withheld by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, compete with the Business or, directly or indirectly, own, operate, invest or work for any fitness gym or other similar businesses offering fitness classes (whether at a dedicated physical location, or by e-commerce or other at home media) after the Closing in any manner or capacity (e.g., through any form of ownership, lending relationship, or as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, officer, director, employee, employer, consultant, member of any association or otherwise), in each case, anywhere in the world. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of following shall constitute a breach of this Section 7.11.1:

(x) any Seller’s or Shareholder’s services approved in writing by Buyer or the discharge of any obligations of any Seller and/or Shareholder (or any of their Affiliates) under any agreement with the Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer, or (y) ownership by a Seller or Shareholder, as a passive investment, in the aggregate of less than [*] of the outstanding shares or other equity interests of capital stock of any corporation or other entity listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded on any nationally recognized over-the-counter market.

1.11.2

Each Seller or Shareholder agrees that during the Restricted Period such Seller or Shareholder shall not disparage the Business, Buyer or any of its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors, shareholders, members or employee in any matter likely to be harmful to such Person or his, her or its personal or business reputation; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any Person from responding accurately and fully to any question, inquiry, or request for information required by legal or administrative process or to the extent related to any litigation proceeding.

1.11.3

During the Restricted Period, no Seller or Shareholder shall (or shall direct its Affiliate to) directly or indirectly solicit any franchisee of the Business, Buyer or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not prohibit any solicitation of

DB2/ 42652053.3

any such franchisee in connection with any franchise agreement with Buyer.

1.11.4

The parties acknowledge and agree that the amount of actual damages suffered by a non-breaching party(s) in the event of an actual or threatened breach of this Section 7.11 may be difficult or impossible to accurately calculate and there may not be an adequate remedy at law available to the non-breaching party to fully compensate the non-breaching party(s) in the event of such an actual or threatened breach. Consequently, the parties agree that in addition to any other remedy or relief to which it may be entitled, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 7.11, the non-breaching party and its successors and assigns shall be entitled to specific performance and/or injunctive or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security), and neither the breaching party nor any of their affiliates will oppose the granting of any such relief on the ground(s) that the non-breaching party has an adequate remedy at Law, has not proven irreparable harm, and/or should be required to post a bond or other security.

1.11.5

If any provision contained in this Section 7.11, will for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provisions of this Section 7.11, but this Section 7.11 will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the intention of the parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 7.11 is held to cover a geographic area or to be of a length of time that is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision will not be construed to be null, void and of no effect; instead, the parties agree that a court of competent jurisdiction will construe, interpret, reform or judicially modify this Section 7.11 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as will be valid and enforceable under such applicable law.

1.11.6

Each Seller and Shareholder expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) each of the restrictions contained in this Section 7.11 is reasonable in all respects (including with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area) and such restrictions are necessary to protect Buyer’s interest in, and value of, the Business (including the goodwill inherent therein),

(ii) the Seller and Shareholders are primarily responsible for the creation of such value, and (iii) Buyer would not have entered into this Agreement or consummated the Transactions without the restrictions contained in this Section 7.11.

1.12

Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid [*] by Sellers and [*] by Buyer when due (except when such returns are required to be filed by Buyer as the party with title to a Purchased Asset). Sellers shall, at their own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees, except that Seller shall at its expense, timely file any Tax Return of other documents required to be filed by Buyer as the party with title to a Purchase Asset (and Buyer shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

1.12.1

Tax Clearance Certificates. If requested by Buyer, each Seller shall notify all of the taxing authorities in the jurisdictions that impose Taxes on such Seller or where such Seller has a duty to file Tax Returns of the Transactions in the form and manner required by such

DB2/ 42652053.3

taxing authorities, if the failure to make such notifications or receive any available tax clearance certificate (a “Tax Clearance Certificate”) could subject Buyer to any Taxes of such Seller. If any taxing authority asserts that any Seller is liable for any Tax, such Seller shall promptly pay or contest in good faith any and all such amounts and shall provide evidence to Buyer that such liabilities have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied.

1.12.2

Allocation of Purchase Price. Sellers and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus other relevant items) shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets (and among the Sellers) for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) as shown on the allocation schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”). A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Buyer and delivered to Sellers within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date. Such Allocation Schedule will be prepared in accordance with applicable law. If Sellers notify Buyer in writing that Sellers object to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, Sellers and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Sellers and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, such dispute shall be resolved by the Accountant. The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne equally by Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand. Buyer and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule.

1.12.3

Straddle Period Allocation. For all purposes of this Agreement, all real property Taxes, personal property Taxes and similar ad valorem obligations levied with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets for a taxable period which includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) shall be apportioned between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, as of the Closing Date based on the number of days of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the number days of such taxable period beginning from the day after the Closing Date through the end of such taxable period, and Sellers shall be liable for the portion attributable to the period ending on the Closing Date. The amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, receipts, payments, sales, use or payroll attributable to the Pre-Closing portion of a Straddle Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

1.13

Insurance Proceeds. Each Seller shall assign, to the extent assignable, to Buyer any proceeds of such Seller’s third party insurance policies to the extent related to any Assumed Liabilities. Each Seller agrees to use reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary consents or approvals of any insurance company or other third party relating to any such assignment. If such proceeds are not assignable, each Seller agrees to pay any such proceeds received by either it or any of its members or other Affiliates to Buyer promptly upon the receipt thereof.

1.14

Mail. Each Seller will promptly deliver to Buyer the original of any mail or other communication received by such Seller after the Closing that relates to the Purchased Assets and/or the Assumed Liabilities.

1.15

Payment of Excluded Liabilities. Each Seller shall timely pay in full all of the Excluded Liabilities. If any Excluded Liabilities are not so paid, or if Buyer reasonably determines that failure to make any payments would impair Buyer’s use or enjoyment of the Purchased Assets or conduct of the Business, then Buyer may, at any time after the Closing Date, elect to make all

DB2/ 42652053.3

such payments directly (but shall have no obligation to do so) and obtain reimbursement or indemnification hereunder.

1.16

Reports and Returns. Each Seller shall promptly after the Closing prepare and file all reports and returns required by applicable Law relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets, through and including the Closing Date.

1.18

Seller Covenants. The Shareholders shall cause each Seller to comply with each of their covenants and agreements set forth herein.

1.19

Relationships. After the Closing, Sellers will cooperate with Buyer in their efforts to continue and maintain for the benefit of Buyer those business relationships of Sellers existing prior to the Closing and relating to the Business, including relationships with suppliers, franchisees, regulatory authorities, licensors, and others, and Sellers will satisfy the Excluded Liabilities in a manner that is not detrimental to any of such relationships. After the Closing, Sellers will, and will cause its Affiliates to, refer to Buyer all inquiries relating to the Business. Neither Sellers nor any of their Affiliates shall take any action that would tend to diminish the value of the Purchased Assets after the Closing or that would interfere with the business of Buyer to be engaged in after the Closing, including disparaging the name or business of Buyer or its Affiliates.

1.20

Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the Transactions and the other Transaction Documents.

Third Party Claims.

(a)

Notice. If any Indemnified Person receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party or an Affiliate of a party or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Person with respect to which the Indemnifying Person is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person shall give the Indemnifying Person reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) 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 Person of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Person forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Person 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 Person.

DB2/ 42652053.3

(b)

Right to Defend. Upon receipt of the notice, the Indemnifying Person will have the right to defend the Indemnified Person against the Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, provided, that (i) within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Person has given notice of the Third Party Claim the Indemnifying Person acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Person its unqualified obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Person as provided hereunder, (ii) the Indemnifying Person provides the Indemnified Person with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person that the Indemnifying Person will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages, and does not seek statutory, enhanced or treble damages or an injunction or other equitable relief,

(iv) the Third Party Claim has a reasonable likelihood of resulting in indemnifiable Losses that would result in the Cap being exceeded or does not have a reasonable likelihood of resulting in indemnifiable Losses that would result in the Basket being exceeded; (v) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Person, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Person or have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Person; (vi) the Third-Party Claim does not involve a supplier, customer, distributor, licensor, licensee, lessor or insurer of Buyer or any Affiliate thereof or a Governmental Authority, (viii) the Third-Party Claim does not involve a class action lawsuit and (ix) the Indemnifying Person conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnifying Person will keep the Indemnified Person apprised of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third Party Claim and permit the Indemnified Person to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Person’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Person, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Person determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Person elects not to or is not entitled to defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Person 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 Person may, subject to Section 9.5.2, 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. The Shareholders and Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim.

(c)

Cooperation. With respect to any Third Party Claim, both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third Party Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel. The parties agree to provide reasonable access to the other parties to such documents and information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the parties shall cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges of the other party. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it

DB2/ 42652053.3

will use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure); and (ii) all communications between any party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(d)

Settlement. The Indemnifying Person shall not enter into settlement or compromise of any Third-Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment or admit any liability with respect thereto, if it is not defending such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person is defending such Third-Party Claim, it shall not enter into settlement or compromise of any Third-Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment or admit any liability with respect thereto without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) does not involve liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Person, does not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person or the admission of wrongdoing and would not have any adverse effect on other claims that may have been made against the Indemnified Person, (B) does not involve any relief other than monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person, and (C) provides, for the complete, final and unconditional release of each Indemnified Person and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Person.

1.5.2

Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Person on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Person giving the Indemnifying Person reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Person becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Person of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Person forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Person 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 Person. The Indemnifying Person shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Person shall allow the Indemnifying Person 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 Person shall assist the Indemnifying Person’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to Sellers’ premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Person or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Person does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Person shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Person shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Person on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

1.6

Offset. For any Loss for which Sellers and the Shareholders are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees, the Buyer Indemnitees shall seek reimbursement for such Loss on a joint and several basis, directly from the Sellers and the Shareholders. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Buyer may, in good faith, withhold and set off against any

DB2/ 42652053.3

amounts due to Sellers or the Shareholders, or any Affiliate thereof, the amount as to which Sellers or the Shareholders are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees. If Buyer believe in good faith that any Buyer has a claim against any Seller or Shareholder, Buyer may defer making payment of amounts otherwise due to Sellers or the Shareholders, up to the amount of the applicable Buyer’s claim, until the resolution of such claim. Neither the exercise of nor the failure to exercise such right of set-off will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

1.7

Materiality. For the purpose of determining indemnification rights hereunder, including the existence of a breach and the amount of Losses resulting therefrom, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

1.8

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

1.9

Effect of Investigation and Waiver. Each party hereby agrees that its representations, warranties and covenants (and any related conditions to Closing) shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that any other party knew or should have known that such representations, warranties and covenants may be inaccurate or may have been breached, unless the other party expressly agreed in a writing delivered prior to Closing to waive such inaccuracy or breach.

1.10

Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 11.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party in connection with the Transactions) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article 9. Nothing in this Section 9.10 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 fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

1.11

The Sellers and Buyer acknowledge and agree that [*], shall be, for purposes of this provision, individually and collectively, a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.

1.11.2

Cooperation. With respect to any Claim, both the Seller Indemnitees and the Buyer, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Claim and any related Proceedings at all stages thereof where such Person is not represented by its own counsel. Buyer shall be entitled to select outside counsel of its choosing, subject to written consent from the Sellers’ Representative, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) to for the defense of each Action. The Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to have counsel of its choosing participate in such matter at its sole cost and expense. The parties agree to provide reasonable access to the other parties to such documents and information as may be reasonably requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim; provided, however, that the parties shall cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges of the other party. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use commercially reasonable efforts, in respect of any Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure); and (ii) all communications between any party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

1.11.3

Settlement. The Buyer shall not enter into settlement or compromise of any Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment or admit any liability with respect thereto without the prior written consent of the Sellers’ Representative unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) does not involve any relief other than monetary damages, and (B) provides, for the complete, final and unconditional release of Seller Indemnitees from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Claim.

9.11.5 Proceeds from Actions. In the event that any of the Seller Actions results in proceeds payable to one or more Seller Action Indemnitees, any such proceeds shall be disbursed in the following order and manner: (i) repayment to the Buyer for all amounts reimbursed to Seller Action Indemnitees for Losses pursuant to Section 9.11.4; (ii) repayment to Seller Action Indemnitees for all amounts paid in connection with the defense of such Actions and the lawsuit filed against [*] in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Case No. [*]), as evidenced by written documentation; and (iii) payment [*] between the Buyer and Seller Action Indemnitees of any proceeds remaining.
