2.4 Allocation of Purchase Price. Promptly following the Closing, Purchaser and Parent shall each prepare an allocation statement (the “Allocation Statement”) setting forth an allocation of the Final Purchase Price (including the amount of Assumed Liabilities and any other relevant amounts) among the Acquired Assets. The Allocation Statements shall be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Purchaser and Parent shall each be entitled to use their own allocation of the Final Purchase Price (including the amount of Assumed Liabilities and any other relevant amounts) among the Acquired Assets. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Purchaser nor Parent is obligated hereunder to use the Allocation Statement in its financial accounting or financial reporting.

2.5 Restricted Assignments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any Acquired Asset or Assumed Liability or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party thereto, would constitute a breach thereof or be contrary to applicable Law. If any such consent or approval is not obtained, Parent and Seller will use their reasonable best efforts (which shall not require Parent or Seller to pay any money or other consideration to any Person or to initiate any claim or proceeding against any Person) to secure an arrangement reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser ensuring that Purchaser will receive the benefits under the agreement for which such consent is being sought following the Closing; provided, however, that neither Parent nor Seller shall have any obligation to obtain such consent or approval or to provide such an alternative arrangement other than the undertaking to use reasonable best efforts to obtain or provide the same as set forth in this Section 2.5 and in Section 5.9, and is subject to the exclusion in Section 5.9 with respect to Securitization Assets and Securitization Documents.

Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing such asset shall hold such asset in trust for such other Person.

2.7 True Sale. The parties intend that, for all purposes, the transfer of the Acquired Assets contemplated hereby shall be treated as a purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets and not a loan secured by the Acquired Assets. Upon Purchaser’s purchase of the Acquired Assets, all of Seller’s right, title and interest therein shall be transferred to the Purchaser as provided in this Article II. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article II, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any transaction provided for herein constitutes a loan and not a sale, then the parties intend that this Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable Law and Seller shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Purchaser a first priority security interest in and to all of Seller’s right to and interest in, to and under, whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired, the Acquired Assets and proceeds thereof to secure a loan deemed to have been made by the Purchaser to Seller in an amount equal to the Purchase Price.

(v) Seller and Parent shall take any actions reasonably necessary to, and subject to Section 5.1(a)(iv), Purchaser shall take all actions reasonably necessary to, as promptly as practicable obtain any and all consents and approvals necessary

(b) Financing Statements. The Purchaser shall prepare at or prior to the Closing Date such financing statements (the “Financing Statements”) as the Purchaser reasonably determines are necessary or appropriate to fully preserve, maintain and protect the interest of the Purchaser in the Acquired Assets and proceeds thereof. Seller hereby authorizes Purchaser to execute and file such Financing Statements and any continuation statements and amendments thereto in all jurisdictions and with all filing offices as the Purchaser may reasonably determine are necessary or desirable to protect the interest of the Purchaser in and give notice of Purchaser’s interest in the Acquired Assets and proceeds thereof, and the termination of Seller’s rights with respect thereto. Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of each financing statement Purchaser intends to file no less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date Purchaser intends to file such Financing Statement. Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in effectuating the intent of this provision, including by means of providing access to records and information reasonably necessary for the completion of such Financing Statements and by means of executing and filing appropriate release or termination documentation as Purchaser shall reasonably request.

(c) Public Announcements. Prior to the Closing, Purchaser, Parent and Seller shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement without prior consultation with Parent (in the case of Purchaser) or Purchaser (in the case of Parent or Seller); provided, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1(c) shall not apply to any press release, public statement or other announcement issued or made, or proposed to be issued or made, by Parent in connection with any proposal received relating to the acquisition of all or a substantial portion of the equity of Parent as may be required by applicable Law, the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of Parent or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange; provided, further, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the parties hereto from making any and all public disclosures legally required to comply with any applicable securities laws or the applicable rules of any stock exchange or regulations or requests of Governmental Authorities.

(d) Responsibility for Taxes.

(i) Parent shall be liable for and pay all Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes as defined below) of, due from or otherwise imposed on Seller or upon any of its

Affiliates or upon Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (by reason of transferee or successor liability or otherwise) relating to the Acquired Assets (A) for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including (x) any Taxes imposed on Seller’s (or its Affiliates’) net income or gross receipts arising from its sale of the Acquired Assets and (y) any Taxes of or relating to any of the Acquired Entities and (B) with respect to the period from the Cut-Off Time through the end of the Closing Date, any Taxes resulting from, relating to, arising out of or caused by an action or transaction undertaken by Seller, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates during such period, other than any such action or transaction in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

(ii) Except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 5.1(d)(ii), Purchaser shall be liable for and pay all Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) of, due from or otherwise imposed on Purchaser or upon any of its Affiliates or upon Seller or any of its Affiliates relating to the Acquired Assets for Post-Closing Tax Periods, including any Taxes imposed on the basis of Purchaser’s (or its Affiliates’) net income or gross receipts arising from its purchase of the Acquired Assets.

(iii) For purposes of this Agreement, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes for a Straddle Period, the determination of such Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined (i) with respect to Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts, by assuming that such taxable period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended on the date of the Cut-Off Time and the other which began on the date after the Cut-Off Time, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit for such taxable period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books were closed on the date of the Cut-Off Time; and (ii) in the case of any Tax for any Straddle Period which is not imposed upon or measured by income or receipts (e.g., ad valorem Taxes, Taxes measured by capital, etc.), the amount of such Tax that is allocable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be the amount of such Tax multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Tax period ending on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the entire Tax period. The amount of such Tax that is allocable to a Post-Closing Tax Period shall be the amount of such Tax less the amount of such Tax so allocated to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Parent and Purchaser shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, prepare all Tax returns consistent with the proration of Taxes in this Section 5.1(d).

(iv) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all Taxes (other than Taxes measured by or applicable to net income) incurred or imposed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of upon whom such Taxes are levied or imposed by Law, including sales and use Taxes, real property transfer Taxes, excise Taxes, and stamp, documentary, filing, recording, permit, license, or authorization duties or fees (collectively, such Taxes, “Transfer Taxes”), shall be borne and paid 50% by Purchaser and 50% by Parent. Any Tax returns with respect to Transfer Taxes shall be prepared by the party that customarily has primary responsibility for filing such Tax returns pursuant to applicable Law. Seller and Purchaser shall provide to one another a true copy of each such return as filed and evidence of the timely filing thereof.

(v) From and after Closing, Parent and Purchaser shall provide each other with such assistance as reasonably may be requested by either of them in connection with (A) the preparation of any Tax return, or (B) any audit or other examination by any Governmental Authority, or any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes; provided that, and notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in no event shall any party or their respective Affiliates be required to provide the other party with access to or copies of its or its Affiliates’ Tax returns. The party requesting assistance hereunder shall reimburse the other party for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing such assistance, provided, however, that, for purposes of receiving reimbursement, no independent contractors, such as accountants or attorneys, shall be consulted without the written consent of the party requesting assistance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(vi) Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to any refund of any Taxes for which it is liable under this Section 5.1(d).

(vii) With regards to the preparation and filing of U.S. information returns on Forms 1099-C “Cancellation of Debt” for “identifiable events,” within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 6050P of the Code, with respect to the Accounts, Parent shall be responsible for preparing and filing such forms for “identifiable events” that occur on or prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and filing such forms for “identifiable events” that occur on or after the Closing Date.

(viii) With regards to the preparation and filing of U.S. information returns on Forms 1099-MISC, if any, with respect to the Accounts, Parent shall be responsible for preparing and filing such forms for events that occur on or prior to the Closing Date.

(ix) In accordance with Section 6050W of the Code and the regulations and other guidance thereunder, as well as with similar state laws, regulations and other guidance (altogether, the “6050W Reporting Rules”), Parent and Purchaser agree (A) that Seller and/or its electronic payment facilitator (other than Purchaser) shall file in a timely fashion all federal and state tax forms and other documentation required by the 6050W Reporting Rules with respect to transactions with the Parent as a participating payee that were settled by (i.e., payment was made by) Parent and/or its electronic payment facilitator (other than Purchaser), and Purchaser and/or its electronic payment facilitator (other than Parent) shall file in a timely fashion all federal and state tax forms and other documentation required by the 6050W Reporting Rules with respect to transactions with Parent as a participating payee that were settled by (i.e., payment was made by) Purchaser and/or its electronic payment facilitator (other than Seller), and (B) to reasonably cooperate with each other to the extent necessary to allow each of them to perform their obligations under the 6050W Reporting Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Section 5.1(d)(ix), “transaction” means Parent accepting an account number or other indicia associated with a payment card as payment.

(e) Remediation and Compliance Actions. For a period of five (5) years after the Closing, each of Parent and Purchaser, at the other party’s request, shall reasonably cooperate with the requesting party to facilitate any remediation or compliance

actions reasonably determined by the requesting party to be necessary in connection with any claim, action, suit, arbitration, proceeding or investigation by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Accounts, including providing to such requesting party and its Affiliates with Account Documentation (to the extent retained) reasonably necessary to facilitate such remediation or compliance actions; provided, however, that any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted during normal business hours, under the supervision of the cooperating party’s personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere with the normal operations of the other party. The requesting party shall reimburse the cooperating party for all costs and expenses incurred by it and its Affiliates in connection with its cooperation in accordance with this Section 5.1(e).

(f) Access; Preservation of Records.

(i) To the extent permitted by applicable Law, from the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing Date and the termination of this Agreement, Parent and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, provide to Purchaser and its Representatives reasonable access (including for the purpose of transition and Conversion planning), during normal business hours, to their properties, books, contracts, employees and records relating to the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Program for purposes related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser have access to any information that (i) based on advice of Parent’s counsel, would destroy any legal privilege.

(iii) Following the Closing, Purchaser shall preserve and keep all original books and records in respect of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Program in the possession of Purchaser or its Affiliates and acquired at the Closing in a manner consistent with Purchaser’s customary document retention policies. Parent, Seller and their respective Affiliates shall have the right to retain copies of books and records of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Program relating to periods ending on or before the

Closing Date to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law or regulatory obligations; provided that each of Parent and Seller shall preserve and keep all original books and records in respect of the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Program in the possession of Parent, Seller or their respective Affiliates and retained at the Closing in a manner consistent with their customary document retention policies.

Each party to this Agreement shall hold, and shall cause its respective directors, officers, Affiliates, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, except to the extent necessary to discharge obligations pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or, based on the advice of its counsel, by other requirements of applicable Law or the applicable requirements of any regulatory agency or relevant stock exchange, all non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the other party (or, if required under a contract with a third party, such third party) furnished to it by such other party or its representatives pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by such party on a non-confidential basis, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (iii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and no party shall release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers, other consultants and advisors with a duty of confidentiality and, to the extent permitted above, any Governmental Authority. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each party will notify the other party promptly upon becoming aware that any of the Information has been disclosed to or obtained by a third party (otherwise than as permitted by this Agreement). If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, each party agrees to promptly destroy all Information in its possession and, if requested by the other party, will deliver a certificate of a senior officer certifying compliance with this provision.

Purchaser shall not use any Parent Licensed Xxxx in any manner intended to damage or diminish Seller’s goodwill therein. The parties agree that any use of the Parent Licensed Marks in a manner consistent with Seller’s past practice will not be deemed to damage or diminish Seller’s goodwill therein; provided that Purchaser shall, promptly following receipt of written notice from Seller setting forth with reasonable specificity the usage covered, cease any act or practice in connection with the Acquired Assets or associated program that, in Seller’s opinion, has materially damaged or diminished or would reasonably likely materially damage or diminish the goodwill of Seller or its Affiliates.

5.4 Delivery of Accountholder Master Files. Seller shall provide an Accountholder Master File to Purchaser (i) within ten (10) Business Days following the date hereof (reflecting the Accounts as of the date hereof) and (ii) on the Closing Date (reflecting the Accounts as of the date such Accountholder Master File is prepared, which date shall be mutually agreeable to the parties and no more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), which Accountholder Master File shall include the transaction history of the Accounts for the twelve (12) month period preceding the Closing Date. In the event that a component of the

Accountholder Master File cannot be read by Purchaser, Parent or Seller shall provide to Purchaser (at Seller’s sole cost and expense) a new copy of said component within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of written notification from Purchaser that such replacement is required.

5.5 Transition Team. No later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, the parties shall establish a joint transition team (the “Transition Team”). Within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, the Transition Team shall determine the general scope and business requirements necessary to effectuate the Closing. Within ninety (90) days after the date hereof, the Transition Team shall develop a mutually agreed upon plan to effectuate Conversion and the other matters described on Schedule 5.5, in a manner consistent with the terms of this Agreement and the Program Agreement. No later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, Seller shall designate at least one employee as its lead contact member of the Transition Team (the “Seller Designated Transition Team Member”), and Purchaser shall designate at least one employee as its lead contact member of the Transition Team (the “Purchaser Designated Transition Team Member”). Each party shall have the right, at any time, to appoint a new Seller Designated Transition Team Member (in the case of Seller) or Purchaser Designated Transition Team Member (in the case of Purchaser), as the case may be, in lieu of the foregoing Persons.

5.6 Compliance with FDIC Letter. Purchaser agrees that it will comply with the representations and warranties and covenants of Seller in the Seller’s letter of June 1, 2016 to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the conditions in the FDIC’s letter of June 1, 2016 to the Seller (the “FDIC Letter”), a true and complete copy of each of which has been made available to Purchaser.

5.7 Employees.

(a) Continuation of Employment; Offers. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date and effective as of the Effective Time, Purchaser shall make an offer of employment that is consistent with the Comparable Job Requirements to all Business Employees. Each Business Employee who accepts Purchaser’s offer of employment is referred to in this Agreement as a “Transferred Employee”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Business Employee is absent from work on long- or short-term disability, workers compensation leave, military leave, leave under the Family Medical Leave Act or other approved leave of absence as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have no obligation to make such employee an offer of employment; provided that if such Business Employee returns to work within six (6) months following the Closing Date (or such later date required by applicable Law, including in any case where applicable Law mandates reinstatement upon return from leave), Purchaser shall offer employment to such Business Employee on terms consistent with those applicable to Business Employees generally under this Section 5.7.

(b) Termination of Benefit Plan Participation; Termination of Employment with Parent and Seller. As of the Closing Date, each Transferred Employee shall cease to be regarded as employed by Parent or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates and shall cease to be an active participant in each Business Plan other than the Assumed Change of Control Agreements. Except as expressly provided in Section 5.7(c) with respect to Assumed Change of

Control Agreements or Section 5.7(i) with respect to short-term incentive compensation, Seller and its Affiliates shall retain all (x) Liabilities in respect of all Business Plans and (y) Controlled Group Liabilities.

(c) Employee Liabilities – In General. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.7, Purchaser shall assume all liabilities, responsibilities and obligations arising out of or relating to the Transferred Employees (including, subject to the final sentence of this paragraph, all liabilities of Parent under the Change of Control Agreement between each Business Employee (other than any Business Employee listed on Schedule 5.7(c)) and Seller or Parent (such agreement, each an “Assumed Change of Control Agreement”)) arising on or after the Closing, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all liabilities arising out of or relating to the termination of employment of any Transferred Employee by Purchaser and its Affiliates on or after the Closing. Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any and all costs, expenses or liabilities resulting from, or incurred in connection with, the termination of employment by Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates, prior to, on or after the Closing Date, of any employee of Parent, Seller or their Affiliates (other than with respect to any Assumed Change of Control Agreement), including any such employee who fails to satisfy the conditions to employment with Purchaser set forth in Section 5.7(j); provided, however, that Purchaser shall fully indemnify and hold harmless Seller, Parent and their Affiliates for all severance liabilities (including under each Assumed Change of Control Agreement) arising out of the termination by Parent, Seller or any of their Affiliates, before, on or after the Closing Date, of any Business Employee who received an offer of employment that failed to meet the requirements set forth in Section 5.7(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Seller and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for (x) any and all costs, expenses or liabilities resulting from or incurred in connection with the termination of employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates from and after the Closing of any individual listed on Schedule 5.7(c) (including any liabilities under any Change of Control Agreement entered into between Seller or Parent and any such individual listed on Schedule 5.7(c), which agreement shall be deemed an Excluded Asset and the obligations thereunder shall be deemed as Retained Liabilities hereunder) and (y) any obligations under Assumed Change of Control Agreements that relate to equity or other long-term incentive compensation awards granted by Parent and its Affiliates.

(d) Benefit Levels and Continuation; Service Credit. During the 12 month period beginning on the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, or shall cause an Affiliate to, provide each Transferred Employee with, for so long as the Transferred Employee is employed by Purchaser or its applicable Affiliate following the Closing: (i) an annual rate of base salary or annual wage rate that is no less than the annual base salary or annual wage rate in effect immediately prior to Closing, (ii) total annual cash compensation eligibility that is no less favorable than the total annual cash compensation eligibility provided to such Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing, (iii) long-term incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates under Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s long-term incentive compensation plans and programs, (iv) severance benefits that are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates under Purchaser’s or its Affiliate’s severance plans and programs, and (v) other compensation and benefits, including employee retirement, welfare and paid time off benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than those made

available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser or its Affiliates under Purchaser’s or its Affiliates’ compensation and benefit plans and programs. Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Transferred Employee to have immediate access (subject to any applicable eligibility requirements, but taking into account for such purpose the service crediting provisions of this paragraph) to participate in welfare benefit plans that Purchaser and its Affiliates make available to similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates and to make COBRA coverage available to such Transferred Employees under any group health or dental plans sponsored by Purchaser and its Affiliates that are subject to COBRA. For purposes of determining (1) eligibility to participate in and vesting under any employee benefit plan of Purchaser or its Affiliates and (2) retirement eligibility under any Purchaser plan providing for the grant of equity awards, and for benefit accrual purposes only for vacation, paid time off and severance benefits, in each case, as applicable, each Transferred Employee shall be credited with the years of service he or she has been credited with under the comparable Business Plans; provided, that such service shall not be recognized (x) to the extent such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service, (y) for purposes of benefit accruals under any Purchaser defined benefit retirement plan, including any cash balance plan and (z) for purposes of retiree medical benefits (but it shall be recognized for access-only retiree medical, if applicable). Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any preexisting conditions and waiting periods under the welfare benefit plans of Purchaser that provide healthcare benefits in which the Transferred Employees are eligible to participate to the same extent that such conditions and waiting periods were waived under the comparable Employee Plan. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the welfare benefit plans of Purchaser that provide healthcare benefits in which the Transferred Employees are eligible to participate to recognize and credit amounts paid by such Transferred Employees under the applicable Business Plan towards satisfying deductible expense requirements and out-of-pocket expense limits during the portion of the calendar year prior to the Closing as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such Business Plan for the same plan year; provided that the applicable plan administrator under each such Business Plan shall have timely provided the Purchaser with validated information that allows the Purchaser to recognize and credit such amounts.

(e) Accrued Vacation, Salary, Expenses, Sick Leave and Personal Time. Seller or its Affiliates shall be responsible for making payments to Transferred Employees in respect to any earned but unused vacation, earned but unpaid base salary or base wages and unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the Effective Time.

(f) Welfare Plans. Seller shall retain responsibility to provide and satisfy all claims that are incurred by the Transferred Employees under any Business Plans prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the following claims shall be deemed to be incurred as follows: (i) life, accidental death and dismemberment, business travel accident, short-term disability and workers compensation insurance benefits, upon the event giving rise to such benefits (except that repetitive motion injury workers compensation claims shall be deemed incurred on the date the applicable claim is filed); (ii) health, vision, dental and/or prescription drug benefits, on the date such services, materials or supplies were provided; and (iii) long-term disability benefits, on the eligibility date determined by the long-term disability carrier for the plan in which the individual participates.

(g) 401(k) Savings Plans. Effective at the Closing, Purchaser shall establish participation by the Transferred Employees in Purchaser’s or an Affiliate’s U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan or plans (the “Purchaser 401(k) Plan”) for the benefit of each Transferred Employee who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, was eligible to participate in the U.S. tax-qualified defined contribution plan maintained by Parent. Purchaser shall take all action necessary to permit the Purchaser 401(k) Plan to accept rollover contributions (excluding loans) from Transferred Employees.

(h) WARN Act. The parties hereto agree to cooperate in good faith, including by sharing information about terminations of employment in a timely manner, to determine whether any notification may be required under the WARN Act as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including Seller providing to Purchaser a list of all employees terminated from employment in the ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be responsible for providing any notice (or pay in lieu of notice) required pursuant to the WARN Act with respect to a layoff or plant closing involving Transferred Employees that occurs on or after the Closing Date.

(i) Incentive Compensation. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall become solely responsible for short-term incentive compensation with respect to the fiscal year of Closing for each Transferred Employee who is or would be eligible to receive any short-term incentive compensation under any Business Plan pursuant to the terms thereof.

(j) Conditions to Employment. Purchaser’s employment of any Business Employee following the Closing shall be subject to and conditioned upon each individual’s satisfactory completion of Purchaser’s standard employment processes and a background check (including a criminal background check), each of the kind imposed by the Purchaser in the ordinary course with respect to all newly-hired similarly situated employees. Seller shall provide Purchaser with reasonable access to Business Employees for purposes of conducting such background checks.

(k) Delayed Employees. In the event that Seller or Parent hires any individual as a replacement for any Business Employee on or following the twentieth (20^th) Business Day prior to the Closing Date (each such individual, a “Delayed Employee”), (i) Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the transfer of such Delayed Employee’s employment from Seller or its Affiliate to Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, subject to and conditioned upon the Delayed Employee’s satisfactory completion of Purchaser’s standard employment processes and a background check (including a criminal background check), (ii) during the period between the Closing Date and the date the Delayed Employee transfers employment to Purchaser, Seller and its Affiliates shall continue to employ such Delayed Employee at Seller’s and its Affiliate’s sole expense and (iii) any liabilities relating to such Delayed Employee that are assumed by Purchaser in accordance with this Section 5.7 shall be assumed as of the date the Delayed Employee commences employment with Purchaser (and not on the Closing Date).

(l) No Third-Party Rights. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained in this Section 5.7 are included solely for the benefit of the parties

hereto and nothing contained herein (i) shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Business Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof), (ii) be construed as an amendment to any employee benefit plan or program or (iii) otherwise oblige Purchaser, Parent or any of their respective Affiliates to maintain any particular employee benefit plan or retain the employment of any particular employee following the Effective Time.

5.8 No Solicitation of Alternative Transactions.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, or until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Parent and Seller shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates not to, and shall not assist or facilitate Retail Buyer or any of its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, solicit or initiate discussions or engage in negotiations with, or provide information to, or authorize any financial advisor or other Representative to solicit or initiate discussions or engage in negotiations with, or provide information to, any Person (other than Purchaser or its Representatives) concerning, or enter into any definitive agreement in respect of, any potential sale of or transaction involving the Acquired Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Program.

(b) Parent and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to, immediately terminate any existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Purchaser or its Representatives) conducted heretofore with respect to any of the potential transactions described in Section 5.8(a), and promptly following the Closing Date shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all Persons other than Purchaser who have been furnished confidential information regarding the Acquired Assets or the Program in connection with the solicitation of or discussions regarding any of the transactions described in Section 5.8(a) within the twenty-four (24) months prior to the date hereof promptly to return or destroy such information. Each of Parent and Seller agrees not to, and to cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, release any third party from the confidentiality, employee non-solicit or other similar provisions of any agreement with respect to the transactions described in Section 5.8(a) (“Bidder Agreements”) and shall immediately take all steps necessary to terminate any approval that may have been heretofore given under any such provisions authorizing any person to engage in any transaction described in Section 5.8(a). Following the Closing, Parent and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate with Purchaser, upon Purchaser’s request and at Purchaser’s expense, to enforce the parties’ rights under the Bidder Agreements.

(c) Notwithstanding this Section 5.8 or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall limit, restrict or otherwise affect any rights of Parent with respect to any Competing Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) pursuant to Section 5.03, Section 5.08 and Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 under the Merger Agreement, including Parent’s rights to provide Competing Proposal Information (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and participate in discussions with the person making any Competing Proposal, in all cases subject to, in compliance with and solely to the extent permitted under, the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

5.9 Third-Party Consents. Each party shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any Third Party Consent and give any notice necessary for the transfer or assignment of any and all Acquired Assets or the assumption of any of the Assumed Liabilities. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, promptly upon the execution of this Agreement and subject to applicable Law, the parties will reasonably coordinate in good faith in respect of any communications by Parent or Seller with the parties other than Governmental Entities whose consent or waiver or to whom notice is required, including Third-Party Consents. The parties, in consultation with each other, shall follow up with all such parties with respect to, and to obtain, all such required consents, and shall keep each other reasonably informed regarding the progress and status of such efforts. If any such consent or approval is not obtained, the applicable Acquired Asset or Assumed Liability (other than with respect to any Securitization Assets and Securitization Documents) will be subject to the provisions of Section 2.5. The parties hereby further agree to allocate the consent fees between Parent and Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, relating to certain specified Third-Party Consents as set forth in Schedule 5.5. Seller shall not be required to pay any such fees until the Closing Date.

5.10 Certain Transition Matters regarding Activities Performed by Seller Before Closing Date. In the case of any reporting or other obligation of Purchaser (or one or more of its Affiliates) under applicable Law or pursuant to contractual obligation that arises after the Closing Date but relates back, in whole or in part, to activities performed (or to be performed) by Seller (or one or more of its Affiliates or vendors) prior to the Closing Date, (a) Seller agrees that, as of the Closing Date, and (b) Parent agrees that, at least 30 days prior to the date on which any such reporting or other obligation arises, in each case, it will provide such documents, reports, certifications, assessments, attestations by its accountants or other similar materials as Purchaser may reasonably request or as may be reasonably necessary for Purchaser to comply with such Law or contractual obligation or to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement, including assessment and attestation reports (and any related required consents) of the type contemplated by Item 1122 of Regulation AB, servicer compliance statements of the type contemplated by Item 1123 of Regulation AB, and certifications in support of the certification required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (pursuant to Section 302 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002).

5.11 Further Assurances. The parties agree that, from time to time, whether before, on or after the Closing Date, each of them will execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by the other party to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement.

5.12 Transitional Servicing Agreement. The parties agree to cooperate to negotiate in good faith prior to the Closing to enter into the Transitional Servicing Agreement that incorporates the Transitional Servicing Agreement Principles, together with such other mutually agreed terms and provisions that are not inconsistent with the Transitional Servicing Agreement Principles and that are customary for an agreement of that nature in this type of transaction. If the parties are unable to negotiate the Transitional Servicing Agreement prior to the Closing, then the Transitional Servicing Agreement Principles shall be legally binding upon the parties effective as of the Closing and references herein and therein to the Transitional Servicing Agreement shall mean the Transitional Servicing Agreement Principles, until such

time (if any) as the parties negotiate and execute the Transitional Servicing Agreement. The Transitional Servicing Agreement, once executed, will supersede the Transitional Servicing Agreement Principles.

5.13 Lincoln Lease Agreement. The parties agree to cooperate to negotiate in good faith prior to the Closing to enter into the Lincoln Lease Agreement on the terms set forth on Schedule 1.1(g) and otherwise on other terms to be mutually agreed between Parent and Purchaser in good faith prior to the Closing, whether as a “Service” under the Transitional Servicing Agreement or otherwise. If the parties are unable to negotiate the Lincoln Lease Agreement prior to the Closing, then the terms set forth on Schedule 1.1(g) shall be legally binding upon the parties effective as of the Closing and references herein and therein to the Lincoln Lease Agreement shall mean the terms set forth on Schedule 1.1(g), until such time (if any) as the parties negotiate and execute the Lincoln Lease Agreement. The Lincoln Lease Agreement, once executed, will supersede the terms set forth on Schedule 1.1(g).

5.14 Certain Cooperation. Following the date hereof and prior to the Closing, the parties will cooperate and discuss in good faith to determine whether there are any mutually agreeable changes to this Agreement that would minimize the aggregate Tax liability to the parties resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby, including regarding the components of the aggregate Purchase Price (or reduction thereof) and the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities, but that would also ensure that each party receives, in the aggregate, the same economic benefits under this Agreement and any other related agreement as each party would have received absent any such changes and that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing.

7.1 Parent’s Indemnification Obligations. From and after the Closing, Parent shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees from and against any and all Losses (as hereinafter defined) arising from or relating to: (a) the breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or Seller contained in Section 4.1 (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 7.1 any qualifications of any such representation or warranty relating to materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be disregarded); (b) the failure by Parent or Seller to perform any of its covenants contained in this Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (c) the Retained Liabilities and the Excluded Assets; or (d) any and all Taxes that are the responsibility of Parent pursuant to Section 5.1(d).

7.2 Purchaser’s Indemnification Obligations. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Parent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees from and against any and all Losses arising from or relating to: (a) the breach of any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Section 4.2 (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 7.2 any qualifications of any such representation or warranty relating to materiality or Material Adverse Effect shall be disregarded); (b) the breach or failure by Purchaser to perform any of its covenants contained in this Agreement or the Assignment and Assumption Agreement; (c) the Assumed Liabilities; or (d) any and all Taxes that are the responsibility of Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.1(d).

7.3 Definition of Losses.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Losses” shall mean any and all liabilities, damages, claims, losses, fines, fees, penalties, interest, Taxes (subject to the allocations of responsibility pursuant to Section 5.1(d)), costs and expenses (including reasonable disbursements and attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith and in seeking indemnification therefor, and any amounts or expenses required to be paid or incurred in connection therewith and in seeking indemnification therefor, and any amounts or expenses required to be paid or incurred in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, claim, appeal, demand, assessment or judgment) that are imposed, sustained, suffered by or asserted against an Indemnified Party.

(b) In calculating the amount of any Losses of an Indemnified Party under this Article VII, there will be subtracted the amount of any (i) insurance proceeds, (ii) third-party payments and (iii) Tax benefits, in each case, actually received by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses and net of any actual costs, expenses, deductibles or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds, payments or benefits. In the event that the Indemnifying Party reimburses the Indemnified Party for any Losses prior to the occurrence of any events contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the Indemnified Party will remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Loss, plus the amount received from the third party in respect thereof (net of any actual costs, expenses, deductibles or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds), less (ii) the full amount of the Loss.

(c) Without limitation of their respective rights and obligations as set forth elsewhere in this Article VII, and subject to the procedures for indemnification claims set forth in this Article VII, each of the parties agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its respective Losses hereunder.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification provided for herein shall not cover, and in no event shall any party hereto be liable for, any indirect, incidental, exemplary, special or punitive damages or consequential damages that are not reasonably foreseeable, (in each case except to reimburse an Indemnified Party for judgments actually awarded to third parties in respect of such types of damages).

7.4 Tax Consequences of Indemnification. Purchaser and Parent agree that, for purposes of computing the amount of any indemnification payment under this Article VII, any such indemnification payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for all Tax purposes, except as otherwise required by the Code or any applicable Tax Law.

7.5 Other Indemnification Provisions.

(a) Procedures; Notice of Claims.

(i) The parties agree that in case any claim is made or any suit or action is commenced by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a right of indemnification for such party (or its Affiliates or their respective officers, directors or employees) hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) from the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party will give notice to the Indemnifying Party as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Indemnified Party has become aware of and determined that such Third Party Claim has given or may reasonably be expected to give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve an Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify except to the extent such failure has a material prejudicial effect on the defenses or other rights available to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in respect of the defense of any such Third Party Claim, and each party hereunder will render to the other such assistance as it may reasonably require of the other in order to insure prompt and adequate defense of any suit, claim or proceeding based upon a state of facts which gives rise to a right of indemnification hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend any Third Party Claim in the name of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any such Third Party Claim (A) to the extent such suit, claim or proceeding seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, or (B) if counsel for the Indemnified Party advises the Indemnified Party that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, then in the case of clause (A), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to control the defense of such portion of any such Third Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, and in the case of clause (B), the Indemnified Party shall defend any Third Party Claim and, in each case, may retain one counsel reasonably satisfactory to it (and any necessary local counsel), and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of having been notified pursuant to this Section 7.5(a)(i) if the Indemnifying Party is entitled to assume and elects to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim and employ counsel. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Third Party Claim or fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election as herein provided, the Indemnified Party may defend such claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that the Indemnified Party may not compromise or settle any such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party may not compromise or settle any such claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment

without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that no such compromise or settlement shall obligate the Indemnified Party to make any admission of fault or wrongdoing or to take any action other than the delivery of a customary release relating to such claim (it being understood that any such customary release shall fully and unconditionally release the Indemnified Party from any liability related to such suit, claim or proceeding). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Parent shall have the sole and exclusive right to commence or threaten any litigation relating to the Parent Marks. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel if the Indemnifying Party is entitled to assume and elects to assume such defense, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the Indemnified Party’s expense.

(ii) Except as set forth in the following proviso, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser shall not be entitled to participate in any proceeding, contest, claim or other action with respect to any consolidated, combined, unitary or Affiliated Tax return that includes Parent or any Affiliate thereof (or to review any such Tax returns), and Parent shall not be entitled to participate in any proceeding, contest, claim or other action with respect to any consolidated, combined, unitary or Affiliated Tax return that includes Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof (or to review any such Tax returns); provided, however, that in the event that a proceeding, contest or claim (a “Tax Claim”) relates to any consolidated, combined, Affiliated or unitary Tax return of an Indemnified Party for which indemnification is sought pursuant to this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party shall control the Tax Claim; provided that the Indemnified Party (A) provides the Indemnifying Party with notice reasonably in advance of any proceeding or similar event relating to such Tax Claim, (B) consults in good faith with the Indemnifying Party on the resolution of the Tax Claim and on any written submission in connection with such Tax Claim, including providing the Indemnifying Party an opportunity to review and provide comments on any written submission, and (C) does not settle, either administratively, after the commencement of litigation or otherwise, such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Subrogation. Upon the payment in full of any claim under this Article VII, the Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party as against any other Persons with respect to the subject matter of such claim to the extent of the amount paid by the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article VII, Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.1(a) (other than in respect of any claim for indemnification relating to any alleged or actual breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(a), (b), (d) or (k)) (A) in respect of any individual claim, occurrence or any series of related claims arising from similar facts, until Losses in respect of such individual or series of related claims are greater than $75,000 (the “De Minimis Claim Amount”), and (B) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses of Purchaser and its

Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees exceeds $10,000,000 (the “Deductible Amount”), it being understood that Parent shall be responsible only for Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount; provided, however, that Parent shall have no obligation to indemnify Purchaser from and against Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(a) (other than in respect of any Losses to the extent relating to any alleged or actual breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(a), (b), (d) or (k), in which case the maximum amount of Losses Parent shall be liable for shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price in respect of the Acquired Assets (not taking into account the Assumed Liabilities)) to the extent such Losses exceed $300,000,000. This Section 7.5(c)(i) shall not apply to any Losses arising out of the fraud or willful misconduct of Parent, Seller or their respective Affiliates or indemnification with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 5.1(d).

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Article VII, Parent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (other than in respect of any claim for indemnification relating to any alleged or actual breach of any of the representations and warranties included in Section 4.2(a), (b) or (i)), (A) in respect of any individual claim, occurrence or any series of related claims arising from similar facts, until Losses in respect of such individual or series of related claims are greater than the De Minimis Claim Amount, and (B) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses of Parent and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees exceeds the Deductible Amount, it being understood that Purchaser shall be responsible only for Losses in excess of the Deductible Amount; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify Parent from and against Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a) (other than in respect of any Losses to the extent relating to any alleged or actual breach of any of Section 4.2(a), (b) or (i), in which case the maximum amount of Losses Purchaser shall be liable for shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price in respect of the Acquired Assets (not taking into account the Assumed Liabilities) to the extent such Losses exceed $300,000,000. This Section 7.5(c)(ii) shall not apply to any Losses arising out of the fraud or willful misconduct of Purchaser or its Affiliates or indemnification with respect to Taxes, which are the subject of Section 5.1(d).

(d) Survival of Covenants and Representations of Warranties. The representations and warranties of the parties set forth in Article IV shall survive the Closing for a period of fifteen (15) months; provided, however, that (i) a valid claim for indemnification for breach of a representation or warranty with respect to which notice was validly given pursuant to Section 7.5(a)(i) by an Indemnified Party prior to the end of such fifteen (15) month period shall survive until such claim is fully and finally determined; (ii) any claim for indemnification for any alleged breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1(a), (b), (d) or (k) shall survive for the extent of the applicable statute of limitation (giving effect to any extension thereof); and (iii) any claim for indemnification for any alleged breach of any of the representations or warranties of Purchaser contained in Section 4.2(a), (b) or (i) shall survive for the extent of the applicable statute of limitation (giving effect to any extension thereof). The indemnification obligations of the parties arising out of the breach of the covenants of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the applicable statute of limitations (giving effect to any extension thereof).

7.6 Exclusive Remedy. The parties acknowledge that, from and after the Closing, except with respect to claims relating to fraud or willful misconduct by a party or any equitable remedies pursuant to Section 9.9, this Article VII will constitute Parent’s and Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for any matters addressed herein or other claim relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE VIII

TERMINATION

8.1 Termination. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing:

(a) by either Purchaser or Parent, respectively, in the event of a breach or default in the performance by Purchaser (in the case of a termination by Parent) or by Parent or Seller (in the case of a termination by Purchaser) of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement of such party, which breach or default (i) would, individually or in the aggregate with all other uncured breaches and defaults of such party, constitute grounds for the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(a) or (b), or Section 6.2(a) or (b), as the case may be, not to be satisfied at the Closing, and (ii) has not been, or cannot be, cured within thirty (30) days after written notice (or, if earlier, the Outside Date), is given by the terminating party to the breaching or defaulting party; provided, however, that Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(a) if Purchaser (in the case of a termination by Parent) or Parent or Seller (in the case of a termination by Purchaser), as the case may be, has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, in any case, such that a condition contained in Section 6.1(a) or (b), or Section 6.2(a) or (b), as the case may be, would not be satisfied;

(b) by the mutual written consent of Parent and Purchaser;

(c) by either Parent or Purchaser, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the date hereof (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that Purchaser or Parent, as the case may be, shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if Purchaser (in the case of a termination by Parent) or Parent or Seller (in the case of a termination by Purchaser), as the case may be, has breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, in any case, such that a condition contained in Section 6.1(a) or (b), or Section 6.2(a) or (b), as the case may be, would not be satisfied;

(d) by Parent or Purchaser if the Merger Agreement or the Program Agreement has been terminated; or

(e) by either the Purchaser or Parent, if any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction shall have issued, enacted or entered any order, injunction or decree permanently enjoining, restraining or prohibiting the Merger, and such order, injunction or decree shall have become final and non appealable, if applicable; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) shall not be available to any party that has failed in any material respect to comply with Section 5.1(a).

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect and there shall be no liability on the part of any party hereto for any matters addressed herein or other claim relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except that (a) Section 5.1(c), Section 5.1(g), this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article IX shall survive any such termination, and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability or damages arising out of fraud or any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement.

8.3 Termination Fee.

(a) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated (A) by either party pursuant to Section 8.1(c) at a time when all the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those set forth in Section 6.1(f) and 6.2(f)) have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but in each case which would be capable of being satisfied if the Closing Date were the date of such termination, (B) by either party pursuant to Section 8.1(d) due to the Merger Agreement having been terminated, or (C) by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.1(a); and

(ii) the Merger Agreement is also terminated (A) under circumstances where a Company Termination Fee is payable by Parent to the Retail Buyer pursuant to Section 7.02(b)(i) or Section 7.02(b)(ii) of the Merger Agreement or (B) by the mutual agreement of the parties thereto and, in connection with such termination, Retail Buyer or any of its Affiliates receive any payment or fee from Parent or any of its Affiliates (whether pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement or otherwise);

then, concurrently upon Parent’s payment of the Company Termination Fee to the Retail Buyer pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Parent shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to (x) $14,000,000, in the case of the foregoing clause (A), or (y) ten percent (10%) of the aggregate payment or fee referred to in the foregoing clause (ii)(B), in the case of the foregoing clause (B), as applicable (the “Termination Fee”); provided, however, that no Termination Fee shall be payable if Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is participating as a bank partner in such Competing Proposal. Each of the parties acknowledges that the Termination Fee is not intended to be a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Purchaser in the circumstances in which the Termination Fee is due and payable and which do not involve fraud or intentional breach of this Agreement by Parent or Seller, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(b) Each of the parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent fails to

pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or Purchaser fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to Section 8.3(a), then (i) the party required to make such payment shall reimburse the party to whom such payment is to be made for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amount, including in connection with any related claims, actions or proceedings commenced and (ii) the party required to make such payment shall pay interest on such amount from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate.

(c) In the event that Purchaser receives full payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.3(a), then except in the case of fraud or intentional breach of this Agreement by Parent or Seller, the receipt of the Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy against Parent, Seller, Retail Buyer and their respective Affiliates for any and all Losses suffered or incurred by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any other person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof) and the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment hereof) or any matter forming the basis of such termination, whether such Losses are based on contract, tort, or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law or otherwise and whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate or partnership veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of a party hereto or another person or otherwise.

9.2 Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties; except that no such consent shall be required for any assignment of this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise to the surviving corporation in the Merger, as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; provided that this Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements shall be assigned by operation of law by Parent to the surviving

corporation in the Merger and shall be binding on such surviving corporation and its successors and assigns; provided, further that in the event that this Agreement is not assigned by operation of law upon the sale of Parent or all or substantially all of its assets to Retail Buyer though a series of one or more related transactions (whether pursuant to the Merger Agreement or otherwise), Parent shall assign this Agreement and all of its continuing rights and obligations hereunder to Retail Buyer and Retail Buyer shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Parent hereunder. Any assignment or transfer in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void.

9.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the exhibits and schedules to this Agreement) and the Ancillary Agreements, collectively, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede any other agreement, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by Seller and Purchaser (or by any officer or officers of any of such parties) relating to the matters contemplated hereby.

9.4 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded or canceled, and any of the terms, representations, warranties or covenants hereof may be waived, only by written instrument executed by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller and Parent, on the other hand, or, in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. In the course of the planning and coordination of this Agreement, written documents have been exchanged between the parties. Such written documents shall not be deemed to amend or supplement this Agreement. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition or of any breach of any term, representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any such condition or breach or waiver of any other condition or of any breach of any other term, representation, warranty or covenant under this Agreement.

9.5 Expenses. The parties will each bear their own legal, accounting and other costs in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including Taxes, if any, which are imposed upon a party attributable to its activities hereunder, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement.

9.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery in .pdf format shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of Law thereof that would require the application of the Laws of any other jurisdiction.

(b) Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any other party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any Delaware state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties agrees not to commence any action or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts in the State of Delaware, as described above, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court. Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process, and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in the State of Delaware, as described above, for any reason, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) that (A) the action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

(c) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.7(C).

9.8 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

9.9 Specific Enforcement.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed, or were threatened to be not performed, in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

(b) Each of the parties agrees that, (i) the seeking of remedies pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall not in any way constitute a waiver by any party seeking such remedies of its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement, including under Section 8.2, in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.9 are not available or otherwise are not granted, (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require a party to institute any proceeding for (or limit a party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.9 prior, or as a condition, to exercising any termination right under Article VIII (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding seeking remedies pursuant to this Section 9.9 or anything set forth in this Section 9.9 restrict or limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter and (iii) no party shall be required to post any bond or other security as a condition to institute any proceeding for specific performance under this Section 9.9.

9.10 No Joint Venture. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create a partnership or joint venture between any of the parties hereto.

9.11 No Third-Party Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person not a party to this Agreement.

9.12 Disclosure Schedules. The Seller Disclosure Schedule is qualified in its entirety by reference to the specific provisions of this Agreement and nothing in the Seller Disclosure Schedule is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or to create any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant on the part of Parent or Seller. The inclusion of any matter, information, item or other disclosure set forth in any section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to constitute an admission of any liability of Parent or Seller (as applicable) to any third party or otherwise imply that such matter, information or item is material or creates a measure for materiality for purposes of this Agreement or is required to be disclosed under this Agreement. Each section of the Seller Disclosure Schedule corresponds to the section of this Agreement to which it relates; provided that any fact or condition disclosed in any section in such a way as to make its relevance to another section that relates to a representation or representations made elsewhere in this Agreement reasonably apparent on its face shall be deemed to be an exception to such representation or representations notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross reference thereto. Certain matters disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Schedule are not material and/or have been disclosed for informational purposes only.

9.13 Merger Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be deemed to limit Parent’s or any of its Affiliate’s rights or ability to exercise any right it has under the Merger Agreement that would not breach or violate any term of this Agreement or to terminate the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Parent and its Affiliates shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed on a current basis regarding the status of obtaining any approvals of Governmental Authorities required to consummate the Merger and any material developments relating thereto; provided that Parent and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to provide any notices from any Governmental Authority related to the Merger Agreement or any approvals necessary under the Merger Agreement to Purchaser nor shall Parent or any of its Affiliates be required to permit or invite Purchaser to participate in any meetings with or any filings to be made with any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger Agreement or the Merger. Parent and its Affiliates may defend and settle (but shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed regarding) any litigation or claim by any securityholder of Parent or any of its Affiliates related to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and any material developments relating thereto.

9.14 Non-Recourse. Except for the parties hereto, no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Seller, Parent, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Seller or Purchaser (as applicable) under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Parent, Seller and Purchaser have caused this Agreement to be duly executed as of the date first above written.
