In addition, ANM and the Surviving Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Paying Agent to establish procedures pursuant to which the shareholders of the Company may tender their Shares in person at one or more locations in the Albuquerque, New Mexico metropolitan area or in other states in which there are large concentrations of the Company’s shareholders and, in such case, the Paying Agent will include in its notice to shareholders instructions as to how they may exchange their Shares for Cash Merger Consideration in person; provided, however, that the Company acknowledges that such procedures may not be practicable or may be cost prohibitive, as determined in ANM’s sole discretion, and that ANM and the Surviving Corporation can make no assurance that any such in-person procedures will be provided. When the Paying Agent receives a Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), together with a properly completed and executed letter of transmittal and any other required documents, the Paying Agent will pay to the holder of the Shares represented by the Certificate (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof), or as otherwise directed in the letter of transmittal, the Cash Merger Consideration with regard to each Share represented by such Certificate, less any required Tax withholdings in accordance with Section 3.4(c) below, and the Certificate will be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Cash Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of Certificates. If

payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered must be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer, and the Person who surrenders the Certificate must provide funds for payment of any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the surrendered Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that the Tax has been paid or is not applicable. After the Effective Time, a Certificate will represent only the right to receive the Cash Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate, without any interest thereon.

(c) The Paying Agent may withhold from the sum payable to any Person as a result of the Cash Merger, and pay to the appropriate Governmental Authorities, any amounts which the Paying Agent or the Surviving Corporation may be required (or may reasonably believe it is required) to withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any sum which is withheld and paid to a Governmental Authority as permitted by this Section 3.4 will be deemed to have been paid to the Person with regard to whom it is withheld.

(d) If a Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, ANM will cause the Paying Agent to accept an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed instead of the Certificate; provided, that ANM may require the Person to whom any Cash Merger Consideration is paid, as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, to give the Surviving Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct or otherwise indemnify the Surviving Corporation in a manner reasonably satisfactory to ANM against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation with respect to the Certificate claimed to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

(e) At any time which is more than six (6) months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been deposited with the Paying Agent and have not been disbursed in accordance with this Article III (including, without limitation, interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of the funds made available to it), and after the funds have been delivered to the Surviving Corporation, Persons entitled to payment in accordance with this Article III will be entitled to look solely to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of the Cash Merger Consideration upon surrender of the Certificates held by them, without any interest thereon; provided, that such Persons will have no greater rights against the Surviving Corporation than may be accorded to general creditors of the Surviving Corporation under applicable Laws. Any portion of the funds deposited with the Paying Agent remaining unclaimed as of a date which is immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any government entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent will be liable to any Person entitled to payment under this Article III for any consideration which is delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will not record on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation any transfers of shares of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented for transfer, they will be cancelled and treated as having been surrendered for the Cash Merger Consideration in respect of the Shares represented thereby.

6.5 Access to Information. During the period from the execution of this Agreement through the earlier of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Effective Time, the Company will, and will cause each Company Subsidiary and Nonprofit Organization to, afford representatives of ANM and its financing sources reasonable access during normal business hours to officers, employees, agents and representatives of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Nonprofit Organizations and to all of their respective properties (including without limitation, access for the purpose of (i) performing any non-intrusive environmental procedures, investigations or studies, or taking other non-intrusive actions related thereto, in connection with obtaining Phase I Environmental Site Assessments for or at the Real Property and (ii) preparing and coordinating programs, objectives and other information related to the integration of the business of the Company with the business of ANM and its Affiliates following consummation of the Cash Merger), and will furnish, within a reasonable time, to ANM all information (including extracts and copies of books, records, contracts and other documents, including a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal securities laws) concerning the operations and business of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Nonprofit Organization, including access to their respective personnel as ANM may reasonably request. In conducting any inspection of any properties of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or the Nonprofit Organizations, neither ANM nor any of its representatives will (A) interfere with the business of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Nonprofit Organization conducted at such property, or (B) damage any property or any portion thereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that ANM will be permitted to contact and have discussions with any vendors, suppliers, tenants and subtenants; provided that ANM provides the Company with reasonable advance notice of its intention to take any of the foregoing actions and ANM agrees to use its reasonable best efforts not to unreasonably interfere with the business of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Nonprofit Organization in taking any of the foregoing actions.

6.6 Confidentiality. (a) All information relating to the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Nonprofit Organizations that is obtained by ANM pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) all information relating to ANM and its Affiliates and financing sources that is obtained by the Company pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will constitute “Confidential Information.” Confidential Information of the other parties to this Agreement may be used or disclosed by the recipient only in connection with this Agreement and each party agrees to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other parties in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential information of like kind and sensitivity, but in no event will less than reasonable care be exercised. The Company and ANM agree that all terms and conditions of this

Agreement shall be treated as confidential and shall not be disclosed without the other party’s prior written consent, except as required in connection with the Proxy Statement or otherwise by applicable Law or a Governmental Authority. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (i) was in the recipient’s possession prior to being furnished by the disclosing party; (ii) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of the terms of this Agreement by the recipient; (iii) is received by the recipient from a third party who, to the recipient’s knowledge, was not thereby in breach of any confidentiality obligation; or (iv) is independently developed by the recipient without use of the disclosing party’s confidential or proprietary information.

Unless the demand shall have been timely limited, quashed or extended, the party receiving the subpoena shall thereafter be entitled to comply with such subpoena or other process to the extent permitted by law. If requested by the disclosing party, the recipient shall cooperate (at the disclosing party’s expense) in the defense of a demand.

6.7	Acquisition Proposals.

(a) The Company agrees that, except as otherwise permitted in this Section 6.7, (i) it and its officers and directors will not, (ii) the Company Subsidiaries and the Company Subsidiaries’ officers and directors will not, and (iii) its and the Company Subsidiaries’ investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, employees, consultants or other agents, advisors or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) will not, (A) directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit, cause, encourage or otherwise knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making, submission or reaffirmation of any proposal or offer with respect to a tender offer or exchange offer, proxy solicitation, merger, reorganization, share exchange, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, consolidation, business combination or other similar transaction involving the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries or any proposal or offer to acquire in any manner an equity or voting interest in the Company, or the assets, securities or other ownership interests of or in the Company or any Company Subsidiary, in each case other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (any such proposal or offer being hereinafter referred to as an “Acquisition Proposal”), or (B) directly or indirectly, engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide access to its properties, books and records or any confidential information or data to, any Person relating to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company will promptly take the steps necessary to inform the Persons set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the foregoing sentence of the obligations undertaken in this Section 6.7, and the Company agrees that it will be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.7 by those Persons. Subject to Section 6.7(b), neither the Company nor its Board of Directors or any committee thereof will approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding relating in any respect to an Acquisition Proposal or propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent the Company or the Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer) or from making any legally required disclosure to shareholders with regard to an Acquisition Proposal (provided that neither the Company nor its Board of Directors may recommend any Acquisition Proposal unless permitted by Section 6.7(b) below and the Company may not fail to make or withdraw, modify or change in a manner adverse to ANM all or any portion of the Board Recommendation, and provided further that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any “stop-look-and-listen” communication by the Company or its Board of Directors to the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the shareholders of the Company in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer containing the substance of a “stop-look-and-listen” communication pursuant to such Rule 14d-9(f)) will not be considered a failure to make, or a withdrawal, modification or change in any manner adverse to ANM of, all or a portion of the Company Board Recommendation), or (ii) prior to the approval of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with this Agreement, (A) providing access to its properties, books and records and providing information or data in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal if the Board of Directors receives from the Person so

requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement on terms substantially similar to those contained in Section 6.6 (except for such changes specifically necessary in order for the Company to be able to comply with its obligations under this Agreement) or (B) engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any Person who has made an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that prior to taking any of the actions set forth in clauses (A) or (B) of clause (ii), (x) the Board of Directors will have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such action is necessary in order for the Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y) the Company will have informed ANM promptly following (and in no event later than 24 hours after) the taking by it of any such action.

A “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that, after taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of the proposal and the Person or Persons making the proposal (including any break-up fees, expense reimbursement provisions and conditions to consummation), (i) would, if consummated, result in a transaction more favorable to the Company’s shareholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after giving effect to any adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed in writing by ANM in response to such Acquisition Proposal) and (ii) is fully financed or reasonably capable of being fully financed, reasonably likely to receive all required governmental approvals on a timely basis and otherwise reasonably capable of being consummated on the terms proposed. The Company will promptly inform the Persons set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of the first sentence of this Section 6.7(a) of the obligations undertaken in this Section 6.7.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.7 to the contrary, if, at any time prior to the approval of this Agreement by the Company’s shareholders in accordance with this Agreement, the Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with and receipt of advice from its financial advisors and legal counsel, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that was unsolicited and that did not otherwise result from a breach of Section 6.7(a), that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal and that terminating this Agreement to accept such Superior Proposal and/or recommending such Superior Proposal to the shareholders of the Company is necessary in order for the Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company may terminate this Agreement and/or its Board of Directors may recommend such Superior Proposal to its shareholders, as applicable; provided, however, that the Company will not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sentence, and any purported termination pursuant to this sentence will be void and of no force or effect, unless concurrently with such termination pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) the Company pays to ANM the Termination Amount payable pursuant to Section 8.2(c); and provided, further, that the Company will not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement and the Board of Directors will not recommend a Superior Proposal to its shareholders pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) unless the Company will have delivered to ANM a prior written notice advising ANM that the Company or its Board of Directors intends to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, specifying in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal, such notice to be delivered not less than 72 hours prior to the time the action is taken, and, during such 72 hour period, the Company and its advisors will negotiate in good faith with ANM to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, in which case this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and the Company will reject such Acquisition Proposal. For avoidance of doubt, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.7(b) after the Shareholders Meeting (or any postponement or adjournment thereof) if, at the Shareholders Meeting, the Requisite Shareholder Vote is obtained to approve this Agreement.

(c) The Company agrees that (i) it will, and will cause each Company Subsidiary and its and their Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and (ii) except to the extent necessary to take any actions that the Company is otherwise permitted to take pursuant to this Section 6.7 (and in such case only in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.7), it will not release any Person from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which it or any Company Subsidiary is a party with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company will also, if it has not already done so, promptly request, to the extent it has a contractual right to do so, that

each Person, if any, that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement within the twelve months prior to the date of this Agreement in connection with its consideration of any Acquisition Proposal to return or destroy all confidential information or data heretofore furnished to any Person by or on behalf of the Company, any Company Subsidiaries or any Nonprofit Organizations.

(d) The Company will promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after receipt of an Acquisition Proposal) notify ANM (which notice will be provided orally and in writing and will identify any Person making an Acquisition Proposal and set forth in reasonable detail its material terms and conditions) of the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof, or if any nonpublic information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, it, any Company Subsidiary or any of its or any Company Subsidiary’s Representatives and thereafter will keep ANM informed, on a current basis, of the status and material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers. The Company will make available to ANM (to the extent it has not previously done so) all nonpublic information made available to any Person making an Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof at substantially the same time as it provides it to such other Person.

6.8	Further Action; Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or applicable agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form for Certain Mergers and Acquisitions pursuant to the HSR Act and to make other required filings pursuant to other Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws and to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act and any other applicable Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable.

(b) ANM and the Company will, in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 6.8(a) to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) keep the other party informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other Governmental Authority and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and (iii) permit the other party to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any such other Governmental Authority or other Person or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Authority or other Person, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences in accordance with Antitrust Law.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Sections 6.8(a) and (b), if any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law or if any suit is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Authority or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby as violative of any Antitrust Law or which would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, each of ANM and the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objections or suits so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including in order to resolve such objections or suits which, in any case if not resolved, could reasonably be expected to prohibit or materially impair or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated

hereby and thereby; provided, however, that neither ANM nor any of its shareholders or Affiliates will be obligated to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct its business in a manner which would resolve such objections or suits or agree to sell, hold separate or otherwise dispose of or conduct its business. Without excluding other possibilities, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be deemed to be materially delayed if unresolved objections or suits delay or could reasonably be expected to delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby beyond the Termination Date.

(d) Subject to the obligations under Section 6.8(c), in the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby, (i) each of ANM and the Company will cooperate in all respects with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) each of ANM and the Company will use its respective reasonable best efforts to defend, at its own cost and expense, any action or actions, whether judicial or administrative, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, nothing in this Section 6.8 will limit a party’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(c) so long as such party has up to then complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 6.8.

6.9 Resignations. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company will cause to be delivered to ANM duly signed resignations, effective as of the Effective Time, of the directors and officers (other than the officers listed in Section 2.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule) of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Nonprofit Organizations and will take such other action as is necessary to accomplish the foregoing.

6.10 Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will fully pay the applicable premiums to renew, increase and/or extend the Company’s existing insurance policy or policies with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (a) for period of at least one year following the Effective Time, (b) with a maximum amount of at least $5,000,000, and (c) with such other terms and conditions as may be approved by ANM; provided, however, that the Company will not be required to renew, increase or extend coverage under such a policy if such renewed, increased or extended coverage would have an annual premium in excess of 150% of the current annual premium paid by the Company for its existing coverage, unless ANM agrees to and does pay or reimburse the Company for the amount in excess of 150% of the Company’s current annual premium. ANM agrees to cause the Surviving Corporation to honor and perform under all indemnification agreements entered into by the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Nonprofit Organization set forth in Section 6.10(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

6.11 Public Announcements. Each of the Company and ANM agrees that no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and ANM (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by Law, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement will use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.

6.12	Cooperation; Financial Data.

(a) The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, cooperate reasonably and in good faith, at ANM’s request and at ANM’s expense, in providing documentation, participating in meetings, answering questions and otherwise providing information about the Company and its assets, employees, history and business and such other information or cooperation as may be reasonably requested

by ANM from time to time after the date of this Agreement in order to help facilitate: (i) obtaining of any required governmental approvals to consummate the Cash Merger; (ii) implementation of ANM’s desired post-Closing organizational structure for the Company; (iii) planning for the continued post-Closing operation of the Company’s business; (iv) financing arrangements related to the Cash Merger or the post-Closing operation of the Company’s business; and (v) such other events or circumstances for

which the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ cooperation would be helpful and for which ANM reasonably requests such cooperation.

(b) As soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 10 days after each calendar month-end following the date of this Agreement that occurs prior to the Effective Time, the Company will deliver to ANM a copy of the Company’s internal operating balance sheet and internal profit and loss statement (prepared in form and substance on a basis consistent with past practice).

6.13	Nonprofit Organizations.

(a) In connection with the Cash Merger, at the Effective Time, ANM and the Surviving Corporation will assume control of the boards of directors of the Nonprofit Organizations. ANM has agreed to do so as an accommodation to the Company and in acknowledgment of the ancestral heritage of the Company’s shareholders and the history of the Atrisco Land Grant and the Real Property. ANM will cause the Surviving Corporation to continue to operate the Nonprofit Organizations as nonprofit organizations in keeping with their charitable or other exempt purposes. The parties acknowledge and agree that no part of the Cash Merger Consideration is intended to be, or will be construed as or accounted for as, payment or consideration for any of the assets of the Nonprofit Organizations.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, ANM will cause the Surviving Corporation to continuously maintain, preserve and operate the Nonprofit Organizations and their respective assets and operations, including without limitation the Santa Xxxxx Cemetery, the San Xxxx xx Xxxxxx Cemetery, the Evangelico Cemetery (collectively, the “Cemeteries”) and the church known as La Capillita Antigua, San Xxxx de Ranchos de Atrisco (the “Church”), all of which are located on the Real Property, in a respectful manner consistent with the Company’s past practices. Without limiting the foregoing, ANM will cause the Surviving Corporation to honor all historical and hereditary rights and privileges of Atrisco Land Grant heirs, their families and others in the Atrisco community with respect to burial in the Cemeteries. ANM may, in its discretion, cause the Surviving Corporation to reorganize or restructure the Nonprofit Organizations and their assets in order to operate them more efficiently or effectively, provided such restructuring or reorganization does not result in the disturbance of the Cemeteries (including access thereto) or disruption in the operation or maintenance of the Cemeteries or the Church. Additionally, ANM may, in its discretion, cause the Surviving Corporation to create one or more new nonprofit organizations or establish one or more trusts or other appropriate entities and endow such entities with sufficient assets so as to provide for their continued operation; provided, that any such arrangement must be adequate to provide reasonable assurance of continuing compliance with ANM’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.13(b), the Surviving Corporation will be obligated to fund the Cemeteries and the Church only to the extent that the Cemeteries and the Church do not receive sufficient funds to operate from their normal operating revenues or contributions from other sources.

(c) In the event that the Surviving Corporation is sold (through a stock or asset sale) or merged with or into another Person in a transaction in which the Surviving

Corporation is not the survivor, the Surviving Corporation will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the acquiring Person continues to honor ANM’s and the Surviving Corporation’s commitments pursuant to this Section 6.13, or to make other arrangements reasonably designed to ensure such ongoing performance.

6.14 Employees. Except for any officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time who are not identified in Section 2.6 of the Company Disclosure Schedule or who otherwise resign from the Company, ANM will cause the Surviving Corporation to continue to employ all employees of the Company, the Company Subsidiaries and the Nonprofit Organizations in their current positions and at their

current compensation and benefit levels (as of the date of this Agreement) for a period of not less than six months following the Effective Time, subject to the Surviving Corporation’s right to terminate any such employees for cause during such six month period.

6.15 Company Disclosure Schedule. The Company will prepare and deliver the Company Disclosure Schedule to ANM as soon as practicable following execution of this Agreement, but in any event at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Effective Time; provided, that for purposes of determining the accuracy of the Company’s representations or warranties as of the date of this Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule will be deemed to have been delivered to ANM simultaneously with execution of this Agreement. ANM will have the right to review and approve or reject, in its sole discretion, any items disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule.

6.16 Title and Title Insurance. Within five (5) days following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall request the Title Insurer to deliver to ANM a current Commitment for Title Insurance or a Preliminary Title Report, together with legible copies of all documents referred to therein (collectively, the “Title Report”) from the Title Insurer. The Title Report shall show the status of title to the Real Property as of the date of the Title Report and shall list the Company as the proposed insured.

(a) ANM shall have a period of time beginning upon its receipt of the Title Report, legible copies of all documents referred to therein, and the Survey, and ending at 5:00 p.m., Albuquerque time, ten (10) days thereafter (the “Title Review Period”), to review the Title Report and to give the Company and the Title Insurer notice of any title exception which is unacceptable to ANM. ANM shall have an additional five (5) business days after receipt of any amended Title Insurer written notice of any title exception not previously listed to review the previously unlisted title exception and to give the Company and the Title Insurer notice of any such title exception which is unacceptable to ANM. If ANM gives notice of dissatisfaction as to any exception to title as shown in the Title Report, the Company shall use its good faith, diligent efforts to attempt to eliminate the disapproved title exception from the Title Report no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Effective Time. If the Company does not eliminate the disapproved title exception prior to such date, ANM shall have the right to terminate this Agreement under Section 8.1(e).

(b) ANM’s failure to timely approve or disapprove any exception shall be deemed its approval thereof.

The Company will provide a copy of such opinion to ANM promptly upon receipt thereof.

6.18 Further Action. Each of the parties hereto will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable

(d) by the Company (i) if there will have been a failure of any condition to the Company’s obligations set forth in Section 7.3 (and such condition has not been waived by the Company) or a material breach of any material representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of ANM contained in this Agreement, or if any such representation or warranty will have become untrue or inaccurate, such that (A) the conditions set forth in Sections 7.3(a) or 7.3(b) would not be capable of being satisfied and (B) such breach or inaccuracy is not capable of being cured or, if reasonably capable of being cured, will not have been cured prior to the earlier of (1) 30 Business Days following notice of such breach and (2) the Termination Date; provided that the Company will not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d)(i) if the Company is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or if any such representation or warranty will have become materially untrue or inaccurate, or (ii) prior to the adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with this Agreement, in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 6.7(b);

8.2	Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of any party hereto, except with respect to Section 6.6, Section 6.10, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article IX, which will survive such termination; provided, however, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach hereof.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(a), 8.1(b), 8.1(c), 8.1(d)(ii), 8.1(e) or 8.1(f), ANM will be entitled to the return of the full amount of the Deposit paid pursuant to Section 2.1, together with all interest accrued thereon. If this Agreement is terminated for any other reason set forth in Section 8.1, the Company will be entitled to be paid the full amount of the Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, as liquidated damages and its sole and exclusive remedy for any breach or liability of ANM under this Agreement, it being acknowledged that such amount is intended as a reasonable estimate of the Company’s damages in such event, and is not intended as a penalty. ANM will instruct the Paying Agent to wire the Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon, in immediately available funds, to ANM or the Company, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 8.2(b), as promptly as practicable (but in any event within two Business Days) after termination of this Agreement.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i), then ANM will promptly pay the Company the sum of $5,000,000, which payment may be satisfied by the release of the Deposit by the escrow agent holding said Deposit to the Company, as provided in Section 8.2(b) above. The parties agree that the foregoing amounts are reasonable estimates of their respective damages in the applicable circumstances and that such amounts are not intended as, and do not, constitute penalties. The Company or ANM, as and to the extent applicable, will pay the amounts owed under this Section 8.2(c) to the other party as promptly as practicable (but in any event within two Business Days) after termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(i) or (ii) or Section 8.1(e)(i) or (ii), payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, none of the parties hereto would enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if a party fails to timely pay any amount required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section 8.2 (such party, the “Payor”), and, in order to obtain the payment, the party entitled to receive such payment pursuant to this Section 8.2 (such other party, the “Payee”) commences a suit which results in a judgment against the Payor for the payment set forth in this Section 8.2, the Payor will pay to Payee its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with this suit, together with interest on the amount due from each date for payment until the date of the payment at the prime rate (as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date the payment was required to be made) plus one percentage point.

8.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each party will bear its own expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

shareholders of the Company. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto.

9.9 Specific Performance; Jurisdiction. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
