The Sellers shall give prompt written notice to the Buyer of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any change, condition or event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would render any representation or warranty of the Sellers contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, if made on or immediately following the date of such event, untrue or inaccurate, (b) the occurrence of any change, condition or event that has had or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (c) any failure of the Sellers, the Company or any other Affiliate of the Sellers to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder or any event or condition that would otherwise result in the nonfulfillment of any of the conditions to the Buyer’s obligations hereunder, (d) any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, or (e) any Action pending or, to the Sellers’ knowledge, threatened against a party or the parties relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 5.6 Confidentiality. Each of the parties shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, in confidence all documents and information furnished to it by or on behalf of the other party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of the confidentiality agreement dated November 4, 2014 between the Buyer and WYI (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), which shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing Date, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement and the obligations of the parties under this Section 5.6 shall terminate.

Section 5.7 Consents and Filings; Further Assurances.

(a) The Sellers and the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as promptly as practicable, including to (i) obtain from Governmental Authorities and other Persons all consents, approvals, authorizations, qualifications and orders as are necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) promptly make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement required under the HSR Act or any other applicable Law and (iii) have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any order, decree, ruling, judgment, injunction or other action (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is then in effect and that enjoins, restrains, conditions, makes illegal or otherwise restricts or prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Sellers shall permit the Buyer reasonably to participate in the defense and settlement of any claim, suit or cause of action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Sellers shall not settle or compromise any such claim, suit or cause of action without the Buyer’s written consent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Buyer shall not be required by this Section 5.7 to take or agree to undertake any action, including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order or other arrangement, that would (A) require the divestiture of any assets of the Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (B) limit the Buyer’s freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to consolidate and control, the Company or any of its assets or businesses or any of the Buyer’s or its Affiliates’ other assets or businesses or (C) limit the Buyer’s ability to acquire or hold, or exercise full rights of ownership with respect to, the Transferred Interests.

Among other things, the Sellers have contributed to the Company all Owned Intellectual Property, all rights under Contracts (other than the Retained Assets), including Contracts relating to any obligation for JS to provide personal services to the Business and any rights surviving the termination of the Original Camuto License Agreement, and advances in respect of any royalties not fully earned as well as all prepaid advertising assets, in each case related to the Business. From time to time after the Closing, and for no further consideration, each of the parties shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, execute, acknowledge and deliver such assignments, transfers, consents, assumptions and other documents and instruments and take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements (including the contribution of the Intellectual Property and assets contemplated by the Contribution Agreement). The Sellers and the Buyer agree that, in the event that any consent, approval or authorization necessary or desirable to preserve for the Company any right or benefit under any lease, license, commitment, Permit or other Contract to which the Company is a party is not obtained prior to the Closing, the Sellers and the Buyer will, subsequent to the Closing, cooperate with each other or the Company in attempting to obtain such consent, approval or authorization as promptly thereafter as practicable.

(d) In the event that any amounts otherwise payable to the Company with respect to periods following the date of this Agreement, including any royalty payments under current or former license agreements, including, without limitation, the Camuto License Agreement, are received by the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (other than the Company) following the date of this Agreement, such amounts shall be promptly (and in any event within 30 days) forwarded and remitted to the Company or its designee. In the event that any amounts otherwise payable to the Company or the Sellers with respect to periods prior to or on the date of this Agreement, including any royalty payments under current or former license agreements, including, without limitation, the Original Camuto License Agreement, are received by the Company or any of its Affiliates (other than the Sellers) following the date of this Agreement, such amounts shall be promptly (and in any event within 30 days) forwarded and remitted to the Sellers or their respective designee, as applicable.

The Sellers shall, and shall cause the Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts to, and to cause its Affiliates and Representatives (including legal and accounting advisors) to, cooperate in connection with the arrangement of any financing that Buyer may seek in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Financing”), as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer. Such cooperation shall include (i) making senior employees of the Company or the Business available to participate in a reasonable number of due diligence and drafting sessions; (ii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials regarding the Company or the Business for any offering memorandum, bank book or similar documents reasonably required in connection with the Financing; and (iii) furnishing the Buyer with unaudited quarterly or annual financial statements, financial data and other financial information regarding the Business, the Sellers and the Company.

Section 5.11 Tax Filings; 754 Election.

For the taxable year of the Company that ends on the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause the Company to make the election provided for in Section 754 of the Code on the Company’s U.S. federal income tax return.

Section 5.12 Registration Rights. At any time during the six months following the Closing, if the Buyer proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Buyer for its existing stockholders) any of its common stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than (i) a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Buyer or a Subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan, (ii) a registration relating to a Rule 145 transaction, (iii) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Stock Consideration; or (iv) a registration in which the only common stock being registered is common stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered), the Buyer shall, at such time, promptly give WYI notice of such registration. Upon the request of WYI given within ten days after such notice is given by the Buyer, the Buyer shall, subject to customary limitations and cutbacks, cause to be registered all of the shares of common stock that WYI has requested to be included in such registration. The Buyer shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 5.12 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not WYI has elected to include any shares in such registration.

Section 7.4 Procedures.

(a) A Person seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall deliver notice containing the nature of the Loss, the dates of such Loss and the details of specific Losses, if reasonably practicable (a “Claim Notice”) in respect thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, 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.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim that is exclusively for civil monetary damages at law pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 days of receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim for equitable or injunctive relief, any claim that would impose criminal liability or damages or any Third Party Claim involving a customer, supplier, licensor or other partner of the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, any such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party 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. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) does not involve a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (ii) includes an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim and any similar claims, (iii) does not imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party, and (iv) provides solely for the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be fully indemnified hereunder.

(c) An Indemnified Party seeking indemnification in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim”) shall deliver a Claim Notice in respect thereof to the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness after becoming aware of facts supporting such Direct Claim, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, 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 and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or otherwise than pursuant to this Article VII. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days following its receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a Direct Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand.

(d) The indemnification required hereunder shall be made by (i) prompt payment by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) setoff and application against any amount that may be due to the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement pursuant to Section 7.8 of the amount of actual Losses in connection therewith, as and when bills are received by the Indemnifying Party or Losses incurred have been notified to the Indemnifying Party.

(e) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to require that any action be made or brought against any other Person before action is brought or claim is made against it hereunder by the Indemnified Party.

Section 7.5 Limits on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (a) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party under Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as applicable, equals or exceeds on a cumulative basis $750,000 (the “Threshold Amount”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable Losses above and not below the Threshold Amount, (b) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or relating to claims pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to $5,000,000, provided, that the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the inaccuracy or breach of any Fundamental Representation, any inaccuracy or breach of Section 3.16 relating to tax matters, or to any representation or warranty in the event of fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation.

Section 7.6 Remedies Not Affected by Investigation, Disclosure or Knowledge. If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Indemnified Parties expressly reserve the right to seek indemnity or other remedy for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, notwithstanding any investigation by, disclosure to, knowledge or imputed knowledge of such Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives in respect of any fact or circumstances that reveals the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the execution and delivery hereof.

Section 7.7 Exclusive Remedy. After the Closing, and except for claims of fraud, gross negligence, actions taken in bad faith or intentional misrepresentation and except for specific performance of covenants, where appropriate under applicable Law, the obligations to indemnify under this Article VII shall provide the exclusive remedy against a party for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.

Section 7.8 Setoff. Each party hereto shall have the right to setoff and apply against any amount that may be due hereunder against any amount that has been finally, judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be due to it under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, whether in respect of an indemnification obligation, royalty payment or otherwise, subject to the terms and conditions of the Operating Agreement.

(b) (i) by the Sellers, if the Buyer breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 15 days following delivery to the Buyer of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Sellers; provided, however, the Sellers shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) in the event either Seller is itself in breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or (ii) by the Buyer, if any Seller breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within 15 days following delivery to such Seller of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Buyer; provided, however, the Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii) in the event the Buyer is itself in breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(c) by either the Sellers or the Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by June 30, 2015; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) shall not be available if the failure of the party so requesting termination to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; or

(d) by either the Sellers or the Buyer in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that the party so requesting termination shall have used its commercially reasonable efforts, in accordance with Section 5.7, to have such order, decree, ruling or other action vacated.

The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder.
