CCMCC has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of receipt of a portion of the Purchase Price hereunder through an investment in Legacy Education Inc., LGCY, and CCMCC acknowledges that an investment in the Legacy Shares involves a high degree of risk, is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment.

2.7 Restricted Securities. CCMCC understands that the Legacy Shares may be characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as this Agreement contemplates that, if received by CCMCC pursuant hereto, the Legacy Shares would be acquired in a transaction not involving a public offering. CCMCC further acknowledges that if the Legacy Shares are delivered to it in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, such shares may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom.

(a) At least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide to Buyer a good faith estimate (the “Estimated Capital Statement”) of Sellers’ Student Receivables, inventory, pre-paid expenses and other current asset accounts, but excluding Excluded Assets and Accounts Receivable other than Student Receivables as set forth above, as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Estimated Capital Assets”) and Sellers’ accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term debt and other current liability accounts that are Assumed Liabilities including, but not limited to, Unearned Tuition as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, but not including any Excluded Liabilities and any loan debt initiated by Buyer in connection with its financing, if any, of the Cash Purchase Price (the “Estimated Capital Liabilities”). If the Estimated Capital Assets minus the Estimated Capital Liabilities (the “Estimated Closing Capital”) is less than the Working Capital Target, then the Cash Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer to Sellers at the Closing shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount, if any, the Estimated Closing Capital is less than the Working Capital Target, or if the Estimated Closing Capital is greater than the Working Capital Target, then the Cash Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer to Sellers at the Closing shall be increased, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Capital is greater than the Working Capital Target.

(b) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will present to Sellers a statement (the “Closing Capital Statement”) of Student Receivables, inventory, pre-paid expenses and other current asset accounts, but excluding Excluded Assets and Accounts Receivable other than Student Receivables as set forth above, as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Final Capital Assets”) and accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term debt and other current liability accounts that are Assumed Liabilities including, but not limited to, Unearned Tuition as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, but not including any Excluded Liabilities and loan debt initiated by Buyer in connection with its financing, if any, of the Cash Purchase Price (the “Final Capital Liabilities”). For purposes of this calculation, Buyer shall use the accounting methodologies historically used by Sellers, which are described on Schedule 2.5(b), provided, however, such methodology shall be GAAP compliant. If the Final Capital Assets minus the Final Capital Liabilities (the “Final Closing Capital”) exceeds the Estimated Closing Capital, then Buyer shall pay to Sellers, on a dollar for dollar basis, the amount, if any, by which the Final Closing Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Capital, or if the Estimated Closing Capital exceeds the Final Closing Capital, then Sellers shall pay to Buyer, on a dollar for dollar basis, the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Closing Capital exceeds the Final Closing Capital (each a “Purchase Price Adjustment Payment”).

(c) Sellers shall give written notice to Buyer of any objection to the Closing Capital Statement (the “Objection Notice”) within thirty (30) business days after Sellers’ receipt thereof (the “Review Period”) and all appropriate supporting documentation. The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in the Closing Capital Statement to which Sellers object (the “Objections”) and shall provide a summary of reasons for such Objections. In the event Sellers do not deliver an Objection Notice prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted for all purposes of this Agreement Buyer’s Closing Capital Statement. Sellers and Buyer shall use good faith efforts to resolve any Objections. If the parties are unable to resolve any Objections within fifteen (15) business days after receipt by Buyer of the relevant Objection Notice, such dispute shall be referred for decision to the Accounting Firm to decide the dispute within thirty (30) days of such referral. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve solely the unresolved Objections and such resolution shall be (i) set forth in writing by the Accounting Firm, (ii) delivered to Buyer and Sellers as soon as practicable after the Objections are submitted to the Accounting Firm but no later than thirty (30) days after such submission, (iii) made in accordance with this Agreement, and (iv) final and binding on Sellers and Buyer. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate fully with the Accounting Firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable. Buyer and Sellers shall instruct the Accounting Firm not to assign to any item a value greater than the greatest value for any such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Buyer, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand. The Accounting Firm shall base its decision solely upon the presentations of Buyer and Sellers to the Accounting Firm and upon any materials made available by Buyer and Sellers and not upon independent review. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by Xxxxx and/or Sellers based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

(d) The Purchase Price Adjustment Payment shall be paid by Buyer or Sellers, in accordance with Section 2.5(b) above, (i) within thirty (30) business days of delivery of the Closing Capital Statement, if Sellers do not deliver a timely Objection Notice; (ii) within thirty (30) days of resolution between Buyer and Sellers of all Objections provided in the relevant Objection Notice, if Sellers deliver a timely Objection Notice but the Objections are resolved without any Objections being referred to the Accounting Firm; or (iii) within thirty (30) days of receipt by Xxxxx and Sellers of the Accounting Firm’s written decision resolving all Objections referred to the Accounting Firm, if Sellers deliver a timely Objection Notice and any Objections are referred to the Accounting Firm for resolution.

The Parties further agree that, to the extent required, each of them will properly prepare and timely file Form 8594 in accordance with Schedule 2.6 and Section 1060 of the Code.

COVENANTS

5.1 Conduct of the College Prior to Closing.

5.2 Full Access. From the Effective Date through and including the Closing, and providing that Buyer provides at least twenty four (24) hours written notice to Sellers, Sellers will permit representatives of Buyer (including legal counsel and accountants) to have full access at all reasonable times, and in a manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of Sellers and to maintain the confidentiality of the Parties’ negotiations, to all premises, properties, personnel, books, records (including tax records), contracts, and documents of or pertaining to Sellers or the College. Buyer will treat and hold as Confidential Information all non-public information and documents it receives from Sellers in the course of the reviews contemplated by this Section 5.2, and will not use or disclose to third parties any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement. This obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

5.3 Exclusivity. From the date of this Agreement through and including the Closing, neither Sellers nor Owners shall (i) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person relating to the acquisition of any equity interests or other voting securities of, or any portion of the assets of Sellers (including any acquisition structured as a merger, consolidation, or share exchange), or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any Person to do or seek any of the above. Sellers shall notify Buyer of any inquiries with respect to any of the above transactions.

5.4 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Consents. Each of the Parties to this Agreement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents, Licenses, Educational Approvals, and other consents necessary for the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, including obtaining the Required Consents listed on Schedule 3.3 required to be obtained prior to Closing. Each of the Parties covenants and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the termination of any pre-closing waiting periods under any Applicable Law and to obtain the approval of any Educational Agency or other Governmental Authority for the consummation of the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Buyer and Sellers shall keep each other informed of their written and oral communications with any Educational Agency or other Governmental Authority related to the Transaction as promptly as practicable, including providing copies of any written communications delivered to or received from any Educational Agency or other Governmental Authority relating to the Transaction and allowing the other Parties the opportunity to take part in any meeting or substantive oral communication that is arranged or that otherwise arises with any Educational Agency to discuss any Required Consent.

5.5 Further Assurances. To the extent not otherwise required by Section 5.4, each of the Parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper, or advisable to consummate the Transaction, including, without limitation: (i) the obtaining of all pre-Closing waivers, consents, and approvals from any Governmental Authority or Educational Agency and the making of all pre-Closing registrations and filings (including, but not limited to, filings with any Governmental Authority) and the taking of all reasonable steps to obtain any approval or waiver from, or to avoid any action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority, (ii) obtaining all necessary pre-Closing consents, approvals, or waivers from third parties, and (iii) the defending of any litigation or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Transaction including, without limitation, seeking to have any temporary restraining order entered by any court or administrative authority vacated or reversed; provided, however, that Sellers agree to provide reasonable assistance and cooperation in obtaining all waivers, consents and approvals and making all registrations and filings even if they are obtained or made post-Closing.

5.6 Records. Following the Closing, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve all information, records and other documents pertaining to the College’s operations for all periods prior to and including the Closing Date until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof. Sellers, at their own expense, upon request may obtain copies of records needed for tax and business matters.

5.7 Confidentiality. Each Party shall and shall cause its officers, managers, directors, owners, shareholders, partners, employees, representatives, consultants, agents, or advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) to treat and hold as confidential all Confidential Information of the other Party, refrain from using any such Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to the delivering Party or destroy, at the request and option of the delivering Party, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of any Confidential Information which are in the receiving Party’s possession, provided that the Parties acknowledge that Buyer Parent-II, Legacy Education, Inc., is legally obligated to make public disclosures of the Parties’ execution of this Agreement and of the Parties’ transaction process and to include a copy of this Agreement (with schedules and exhibits) in such public disclosures, under the laws and regulations governing publicly traded companies (“SEC Disclosures”) and that no such SEC Disclosures shall be deemed to be in violation of this Section 5.7. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that information which has been disclosed as part of an SEC Disclosure shall no longer be considered “Confidential Information” and shall not be subject to any protections under this Section 5.7. For any Confidential Information that is disclosed without proper authorization, the Parties acknowledge that damages for improper disclosure of Confidential Information may be irreparable; therefore, the injured Party is entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunction and preliminary injunction, in addition to all other remedies. In the event that a Party (or any of its Representatives) is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Party shall notify the other promptly in writing of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.7. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the receiving Party (or its Representative) is, in the written opinion of its outside legal counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the receiving Party (or such Representative) may disclose the Confidential Information to such tribunal; provided, however, that the receiving Party (or such Representative) shall (i) use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the disclosing Party shall designate; and (ii) disclose only such portion of the Confidential Information as is strictly required. For avoidance of doubt, following the Closing Buyer shall not be subject to the provisions of this Section 5.7 with respect to any Confidential Information included in the Purchased Assets.

5.8 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) In consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants provided for in this Agreement to Sellers at the Closing, Sellers and Owners shall not (and will cause their Affiliates not to) engage (whether as an owner, partner, operator, manager, employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, representative, or otherwise) directly or indirectly in any postsecondary college business, within 100 miles of the College, for a period of three (3) years from the date of the Closing, including, without limitation, any actions in preparation for any Seller or Owner to engage in any postsecondary college business following the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing. The Parties agree that the covenant set forth in this Section 5.8(a) is reasonable with respect to its duration, geographical area, and scope. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 5.8(a) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

(b) Sellers agree that, during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third (3^rd) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Nonsolicitation Period”), they shall not (and they will cause their Affiliates not to) (i) directly or indirectly contact, approach, or solicit for the purpose of offering employment to or hiring (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise) any Person employed by or for the benefit of the College at any time before the Closing Date or during the Nonsolicitation Period (a “Covered Person”), without the prior written consent of Buyer, provided that it shall not be deemed a violation of this covenant if Sellers are contacted by any Covered Person who is responding to any general employment advertisement; and (ii) induce or attempt to induce any customer or other business relation of the College into any business relationship that might materially harm Buyer.

5.9 Transfer Taxes; Other Costs. Sellers shall be responsible and liable for the payment of all filing and recording fees and transfer and sales taxes associated with the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets described in this Agreement, provided, for sake of avoidance of doubt, that Buyer shall be solely responsible for the cost of the audit of the balance sheet of the College as of the Closing Date and for any costs associated with applications for approval of Buyer that are filed with the DOE, ACCET and/or BPPE.

5.10 Employee Matters. From the Effective Date through the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, Sellers shall continue the employment of their employees and will make commercially reasonable efforts to assist in the post-closing employment of any of their employees who Buyer, in its sole discretion, seeks to employ after Closing. Sellers will terminate or request each of their employees who are essential to the conduct of the College to resign, effective as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and will pay to their employees, as applicable, any accrued unpaid wages or unused PTO (personal time off) relating to their employment by Xxxxxxx and termination of such employment. Sellers shall pay or cause to be paid either directly to their employees or, on behalf of each of their employees, to the applicable benefits provider(s) that portion of all benefits which has been accrued on behalf of that employee (or is attributable to any unreimbursed reasonable business expenses properly incurred by that employee) as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and Buyer shall assume no liability for them and they shall not be included in the Final Capital Liabilities. No portion of the assets of any benefit plan, fund, program or arrangement, written or unwritten, sponsored or maintained by Sellers (and no amount attributable to any such benefit plan, fund, program or arrangement) shall be transferred to Buyer, and Buyer shall not be required to continue any such benefit plan, fund, program or arrangement after the Closing. For avoidance of doubt, Xxxxx shall not be responsible for providing COBRA continuation benefits for any Seller employees whom Xxxxx does not hire.

5.11 Consulting Agreement. At the Closing, Sellers shall enter into a consulting agreement with Buyer, substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto (the “Consulting Agreement”), pursuant to which Sellers, for a period of one hundred-eighty (180) days following the Closing, shall make available to Buyer, upon its request, the services of the Owners, to provide transitional consulting assistance to Buyer, for up to but not exceeding 10 hours per week or 40 hours per month, with compensation to be a rate to be mutually determined and agreed upon by the parties in the Consulting Agreement.

5.12 Affiliation Agreement. Owners agree to assist Buyer in negotiating an agreement with Contra Costa Clinic pursuant to which Contra Costa Clinic shall continue providing its current services to the College following the Closing, on terms reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (the “Affiliation Agreement”).

5.13 Notice of Developments. Prior to the Closing, each Party hereto will give prompt written notice to the other Parties of any material adverse development causing a breach of any of its own representations and warranties in this Agreement; provided, however, that no such disclosure by any Party shall be deemed to amend or supplement any provision of this Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibit) or to prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, or breach of covenant.

5.14 Post-Closing Educational Consents. After the Closing, Sellers shall promptly provide such assistance and information to Buyer as Buyer may reasonably request in connection with obtaining any post-closing educational consent, including information and assistance with respect to Buyer (i) promptly providing any post-closing submissions to any Educational Agencies, and (ii) promptly furnishing any Educational Agency with any documents, materials or other information reasonably requested by such Educational Agency.

7.2 Indemnification.

(a) Sellers, and Owners with respect only to subdivision (a)(ii) below and only as specified therein, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its managers, officers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”), from all losses, liabilities, damages, demands, claims, suits, actions, judgments, assessments, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonable expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation (collectively, “Losses”), asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party, as a result of or arising from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Sellers (or any of them) in this Agreement, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of covenants or agreements made by Sellers (or any of them) in this Agreement and any breach by Owners solely with respect to the covenants in Section 5.8 of this Agreement, (iii) any liability for Taxes of Sellers (or any of them) or any Taxes imposed on Sellers for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date and for that portion of any Tax allocable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date, and (iv) any amounts paid by Buyer on account of any of the Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing Section 7.2(a), the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall have no right to indemnification for any claims under Section 7.2(a)(i) until the aggregate amount of all claims exceeds Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), in which event Sellers shall be liable for all such claims beyond that amount. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing Section 7.2(a)(i), in no event shall the amounts paid by Sellers (A) on any and all claims of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(i) for claims respecting violations of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5(a) and 3.10 (fundamental representations) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price, (B) on any and all claims of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(i) for claims respecting violations of Sections 3.14 (educational representations) exceed, in the aggregate, thirty percent (30%) of the Purchase Price, and (C) on any and all other claims of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(i) exceed, in the aggregate, fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate liability of Sellers for any and all claims of the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a)(i) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price other than claims based on Fraud by Sellers (or any of them), which shall have no limit.

(b) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and its directors, officers, employee, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Sellers Indemnified Parties”), from all Losses asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred or suffered by any Sellers Indemnified Party, as a result of or arising from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement, (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of covenants or agreements made by Buyer in this Agreement, (iii) any liability for Taxes of Buyer or any Taxes imposed on Buyer allocable to any Tax period, or a portion of such period, after the Closing Date, and (iv) any amounts paid by Sellers on account of any of the Assumed Liabilities, provided that in no event shall any amounts paid by Buyer (A) on any claims of Sellers Indemnified Parties under category (i) above for claims respecting violations of Sections 4.1 and 4.2 (fundamental representations) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price, and (B) on any and all other claims of the Sellers Indemnified Parties under category (i) above exceed, in the aggregate, fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price. For avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate liability of Buyer for any and all claims of the Sellers Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(b)(i) exceed, in the aggregate, the Purchase Price other than claims based on Buyer Fraud, which shall have no limit.

(c) Except with respect to injunctive and other equitable relief and except for any action based on Fraud, the Parties acknowledge and agree that following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this ARTICLE VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties for any claim or action under contract for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or any breach, nonfulfillment or default in the performance of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement (but not any such covenants or agreements to the extent that they are by their terms to be performed after the Closing Date). Except with respect to any actions based on Fraud, in cases in which a Party seeks remedies other than those set forth in this ARTICLE VII, no Party shall be entitled to exemplary or punitive damages (other than to the extent any of the foregoing are finally determined to be owed to a third party pursuant to a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party (as defined below) pursuant to this ARTICLE VII).

(d) For purposes of indemnification under this ARTICLE VII, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that contain any qualifications as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (or any correlative terms) shall be deemed to have been given as though there were no such qualifications in determining the amount of Losses attributable to any breach of those representations and warranties, but such qualifications shall not be ignored in determining whether there has been any breach of any representations or warranties hereunder

(e) Any indemnification obligation of an Indemnitor under this ARTICLE VII will be paid within five (5) business days after the determination of such obligation in accordance with Section 7.3 (and, where applicable with respect to Legacy Share being applied to an indemnification obligation of Sellers, Buyer and Sellers will provide or cause to be provided to the Escrow Agent any written instructions or other information or documents required by the Escrow Agent to do so).

(f) Any indemnification claims by any Buyer or any Buyer Indemnitee under Section 7.2(a) shall be paid in cash by Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to set off any indemnification claims against any payments due by Buyer under the Promissory Note and also, to the extent necessary, against the Legacy Shares held by the Escrow Agent under the Stock Escrow Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be valued at the then-current value of the Legacy common stock, LGCY, on the New York Stock Exchange).

(g) The provisions of this ARTICLE VII notwithstanding, at the sole discretion of Buyer and without limiting any other rights of the Buyer Indemnitees under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or at law or equity, to the extent that a Buyer Indemnitee is determined in accordance with this Agreement to be entitled to indemnification hereunder, if Sellers fail or refuse to promptly indemnify such Buyer Indemnitee as provided herein then Buyer (or any other Buyer Indemnitee) may offset the full amount to which such Buyer Indemnitee is entitled, in whole or in part, by reducing the amount of any payment or other obligation due to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or under any Ancillary Document, and any amounts owed by Buyer pursuant to any outstanding indemnification claim by a Seller Indemnitee.

7.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The party seeking indemnification under Section 7.2 above (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying party under Section 7.2 above (the “Indemnifying Party”) notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any matter that an Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the loss, if known, and the method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises. The obligations and liabilities of the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VII with respect to losses arising from claims of any third party that are subject to the indemnification provided for in this ARTICLE VII (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and be contingent upon the following additional terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.3.

(b) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party notice of such Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this ARTICLE VII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense, and, at its option (subject to the limitation set forth below), shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of such Third Party Claim at its expense if it gives notice of its intention to do so to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice from the Indemnified Party; provided that prior to the Indemnifying Party assuming such defense, it shall first verify in writing to the Indemnified Party that such Indemnifying Party shall be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights) for all liabilities and obligations relating to such Third Party Claim and that it shall provide full indemnification to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, except as limited by this ARTICLE VII; and provided further that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (i) seeks non-monetary relief, (ii) involves a Governmental Authority or Educational Agency (other than Third Party Claims that involve a Governmental Authority solely by virtue of the fact that such Third Party Claim is being brought before a court, tribunal, or judicial or arbitral body), or (iii) involves a claim which, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to adequately prosecute or defend. If there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, as advised by counsel to the Indemnifying Party, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel in each jurisdiction for which counsel is required, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party and shall have reasonable fees, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof.

(d) In the event that the Indemnifying Party exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. Similarly, in the event the Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession or under the Indemnifying Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the consent of the Indemnified Party (x) if such judgment or settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a complete and unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim, (y) if such judgment or settlement would result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law, or (z) if, as a result of such consent or settlement, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or such judgment or settlement could interfere with or adversely affect the business, operations or assets of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will make promptly any payment required to be made by it to the Indemnified Party under this ARTICLE VII.

ARTICLE VIII

MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 Expenses. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, each Party shall pay its own expenses in connection with the negotiation, execution and performance of this Agreement, the transactions described in this Agreement, and all things required to be done by it pursuant to this Agreement, including counsel fees, brokerage, finder or financial advisor fees, filing fees and accounting fees.

8.2 Arbitration.

(a) The Parties agree that any controversy or other matter in question arising out of an indemnification claim or otherwise involving the Transaction, other than under Section 2.5, whether relating to a Third Party Claim or a first party claim, pursuant to ARTICLE VII, that is not resolved following negotiations by the Parties (an “Unresolved Indemnification Claim”) will be resolved through an arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA in effect as of the date of this Agreement, provided that any Unresolved Indemnification Claim which is a first party claim (an “Unresolved First Party Claim”) may not be submitted to arbitration until the Parties have first made an effort to resolve the claim through mediation with an independent mediator who is mutually agreeable to the Parties and whose fees and expenses shall be divided equally between the Parties. For the sake of clarity, the dispute resolution procedures under this Section 8.2 shall not apply to any claim or controversy for which the Party seeks specific performance or other equitable relief relating to the Transaction or the obligations under this Agreement.

(b) No later than thirty (30) days in advance of a scheduled mediation session, the Party asserting an Unresolved First Party Claim shall provide the other Party with a statement summarizing the claim and with copies of any supporting documentation. All statements made during the mediation (written and verbal) shall not be admissible in any later arbitration proceeding.

(c) All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Los Angeles County, California, or at such other location as is mutually agreed to by Sellers and Buyer, on a date and at a time that is reasonably acceptable to each of the Parties thereto and a single neutral arbitrator to be appointed by the AAA after consultation with the Parties in accordance with AAA’s standard appointment practices (the “Arbitrator”).

(d) Xxxxx and Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Arbitrator to manage the arbitration such that a reasoned decision is delivered to the Parties within one-hundred twenty (120) days after the Unresolved Indemnification Claim is submitted to the AAA. The decision of the Arbitrator regarding the Unresolved Indemnification Claim will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties hereto.

(e) The mediation and arbitration provisions in this Agreement may be specifically enforced by either Party, and submission of any Unresolved Indemnification Claim to arbitration proceedings may be compelled by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) Discovery, including without limitation document requests and depositions, may be had by both Parties pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and the Arbitrator will have full discretion to regulate such discovery so as to provide for prompt, efficient and fair resolution of the Unresolved Indemnification Claim.

(g) During the conduct of the arbitration proceedings, the Arbitrator will have full discretion concerning the admissibility and relevance of evidence, being guided in exercising such discretion by the principles set out in the Federal Rules of Evidence rather than any other body of evidentiary law as defined by state common law, codes or rules of evidence.

(h) With respect to decisions concerning any disputes about discovery and/or admission of evidence, the Arbitrator, in addition to following the principles embodied in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence, shall be bound by any provisions of this Agreement addressing scope of recoverable damages and relevancy of information, including without limitation the provisions of this Section 8.2. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to any direct first-party Unresolved First Party Claim by Xxxxx, for purposes of determining the extent and amount of any claimed losses consisting of diminution or impairment of the value of the College, the Arbitrator may consider all relevant pre-Closing and post-Closing performance information and other valuation information available at the time such Unresolved Indemnification Claim is determined.

(i) Each Party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any arbitration proceeding, as well as 50% of the costs of such arbitration proceeding, provided that the arbitrator shall have the discretion to award costs and reasonable attorney’s fees to the prevailing party.

8.3 Specific Performance. Each Party’s obligation under this Agreement is unique. If any Party should breach its covenants under this Agreement, the Parties each acknowledge that it would be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages; accordingly, the non-breaching Party or Parties, in addition to any other available rights or remedies, may sue in equity for specific performance.

8.4 Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.

(a) All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions.

(b) Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Los Angeles County, California and to the service of any summons and complaint and any other process in any action seeking specific performance or other equitable relief relating to the Transaction, on behalf of itself or its property, by the personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party. Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

8.5 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given if delivered by hand; sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage and fees prepaid; Federal Express or similar overnight courier; sent by confirmed facsimile during normal business hours; or sent by confirmed email, and addressed as follows:

4. Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall constitute an event of default (an “Event of Default”) by Borrower hereunder:

a. Except as provided in Section 8, Xxxxxxxx’s failure to pay when due all or any portion of the principal amount or interest as required hereunder, which failure is not cured by Borrower within ten (10) days after written notice of such failure to pay has been given by Xxxxxx to Borrower;

b. The failure by Borrower to perform any of its non-monetary obligations and covenants under this Note, if not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice by Xxxxxx;

c. The filing of any petition for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar federal or state statute by or against Borrower;

d. The making of any application for the appointment of a custodian, trustee or receiver for, or of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, by Xxxxxxxx;

e. The insolvency of Borrower or the failure of Borrower generally to pay debts as such debts become due; or

f. The dissolution or liquidation of substantially all of Borrower’s assets.

5. Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may, upon written notice to Borrower, declare all liabilities and obligations of Borrower under this Note immediately due and payable and the same shall thereupon become immediately due and payable without any further action by Lender. In the event this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection as a result of an Event of Default, or if Lender incurs any costs incident to the collection of the indebtedness evidenced hereby as a result of an Event of Default, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an amount equal to all reasonable costs incurred by Lender as a result of such Event of Default to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all court costs.

6. Acceleration on Change of Control. This Note will automatically mature and the entire outstanding principal amount, together with accrued interest, fees, charges, expenses and other accrued and unpaid sums payable under this Note, shall be immediately due and payable immediately prior to the occurrence of any of the following: (i) the discontinuation of the College; (ii) the transfer of more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets of the College (based on the fair market value of such assets) other than in the ordinary course of business; (iii) any merger or other business combination, directly or indirectly, involving Borrower or its parent where Borrower or its parent is not the surviving entity; or (iv) the sale of more than fifty percent (50%) of the equity of Borrower or any of its parent entities (based on the fair market value or voting power of such equity).

a. Borrower is in material compliance with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations and orders of any domestic or foreign government or any instrumentality or agency thereof in respect of the conduct of their business or the ownership of their properties, except for any such instances of non-compliance that would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under this Note.

b. (i) Borrower is not insolvent; (ii) Borrower is not subject to debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature; (iii) the capital of Borrower is not impaired; and (iv) Borrower has sufficient capital to continue its business as a going concern.

c. The execution and delivery of this Note, and performance hereunder, by Borrower, does not conflict with or contravene, nor will it result in any breach of or default under, any agreement, instrument, law, regulation or ordinance by which Borrower is bound.

8. Offset. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Borrower shall be entitled to offset (a) the amount of any Purchase Price Adjustment Payment owed by Sellers, as determined pursuant to Section 2.5 of the Purchase Agreement, which is not timely paid by Sellers, and (b) the amount of any indemnification claims made by Buyer pursuant to ARTICLE VII of the Purchase Agreement that are not fully resolved prior to the due date of any one or more of the payments due under this Note, and effect recoupment of any such amounts from, amounts due to Lender from Borrower pursuant to this Note, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 (b) and Section 7.2 (e) of the Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any amounts otherwise owing to Seller hereunder that are withheld by Buyer in respect of any indemnification claims made by Buyer pursuant to ARTICLE VII of the Purchase Agreement shall not be offset, and such amounts shall promptly be paid to Seller hereunder, to the extent that such amounts are finally determined to not be payable to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to ARTICLE VII of the Purchase Agreement.

9. Borrower’s Waiver. Borrower hereby waives presentment for payment, demand, notice of non-payment (except such notice and opportunity to cure, if any, as is required hereunder), notice of protest and protest of this Note, diligence in collection, or bringing suit.

10. Returned Payments. In the event that any payment made under this Note must be returned to Borrower or to its bankruptcy trustee, bankruptcy estate, other legal representative, or to other creditors of Borrower, the amount returned shall be added to the amount due hereunder.

11. Assignment. Neither Borrower nor Lender may transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under this Note without the other party’s prior written consent.

12. Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 11, this Note binds Borrower and its successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and executors, and inures to the benefit of Lender and its successors, assigns, participants, heirs, administrators and executors.

13. Entire Agreement. This Note and the Purchase Agreement collectively represent the final agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Note and may not be contradicted by evidence of other prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements between

the parties. This Note may be executed in one or more counterparts, which together will constitute

one and the same Note.

14. Severability. Every provision of this Note is intended to be several. If any provision of this Note is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other provisions of this Note, which shall remain binding and enforceable.

15. Applicable Law. The validity and construction of this Note and all matters pertaining thereto shall be governed by and construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
