SALE AND PURCHASE
2.1 Purchase and Sale of the Shares. On the terms, subject to the conditions and limitations, and in reliance on the representations and warranties, set forth in this Agreement (including the entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court and the Confirmation Order becoming a Final Order), Investor hereby agrees to purchase at the Closing, and the Company hereby agrees to sell, issue and deliver to Investor at the Closing, for an aggregate purchase price equal to the Purchase Price, the Shares free and clear of any and all Liens (other than Permitted Liens).
2.2 Purchase Price.
(a) In full consideration for the issuance, sale and delivery of the Shares, on the terms, and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, the aggregate consideration to be paid to the Company shall be an amount in cash equal to $42,500,000:
(i) plus the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Target Working Capital (the “Overage”); provided that there shall be no such increase unless the amount of the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital Upper Target, in which case, the full amount of the Overage shall be added thereto; or
(ii) minus the amount, if any, by which the Target Working Capital exceeds the Closing Working Capital (the “Shortfall”); provided that there shall be no such decrease unless the Closing Working Capital Lower Target exceeds the amount of the Closing Working Capital, in which case, the full amount of the Shortfall shall be deducted therefrom (such amount, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.3, the “Purchase Price”).
(b) Not later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Investor a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) containing (i) the Company’s good faith estimate of the Closing Working Capital (including each component thereof) and (ii) a calculation of the Purchase Price based on such estimate based on the provisions of Sections 2.2(a)(i) and 2.2(a)(ii) (the “Initial Purchase Price”).
(c) At the Closing, on the terms, and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth herein, Investor shall pay to the Company, in cash by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, an aggregate amount in cash equal to (i) the Initial Purchase Price minus (ii) the Escrow Amount.
2.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) Within 75 days after the Closing Date, Investor shall prepare and deliver to the Noteholders’ Representative a statement (the “Closing Statement”) containing (i) the Company’s determination of the actual Closing Working Capital (including each component thereof) and (ii) a calculation of the Purchase Price based on such actual Closing Working Capital based on the provisions of Sections 2.2(a)(i) and 2.2(a)(ii).
(b) Within 75 days following receipt by the Noteholders’ Representative of the Closing Statement, the Noteholders’ Representative shall deliver written notice to Investor of any dispute it has with respect to the preparation or content of, or any other items or matters set forth in, the Closing Statement (a “Dispute Notice”). Any amount, determination or calculation contained in the Closing Statement and not specifically disputed in a timely delivered Dispute Notice shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. If the Noteholders’ Representative does not deliver to Investor a Dispute Notice within such 75-day period, such Closing Statement will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. If the Noteholders’ Representative does deliver to Investor a Dispute Notice within such 75-day period, Investor and the Noteholders’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith to resolve each disputed amount, determination, calculation, item or other matter raised therein (each, a “Disputed Item”). If Investor and the Noteholders’ Representative, notwithstanding such good faith effort, fail to resolve such dispute within 30 days after Investor’s receipt of the Dispute Notice, Investor and the Company shall jointly engage the Accounting Firm to resolve each outstanding Disputed Item. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed by Investor and the Noteholders’ Representative to use every reasonable effort to review and resolve such Disputed Items (acting as an expert and not an arbitrator) and to deliver a written report containing its calculation of each Disputed Item (in each case, calculated in accordance with this Agreement and determined within the range of dispute between the Closing Statement and the Dispute Notice) within 45 days of engagement. All Disputed Items that are resolved between Investor and the Noteholders’ Representative or are determined by the Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties absent manifest error. Until the Accounting Firm makes its determination of the Closing Working Capital, the costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Investor, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand; provided that, upon the issuance of its determination of the Closing Working Capital, any costs and expenses (including costs and expenses previously advanced) of the Accounting Firm shall be borne pro rata by Investor, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, in proportion to the difference between (x) the Final Purchase Price and (y) the Final Purchase Price that would have resulted from the use of the proposed calculations of Investor, on the one hand, and the Noteholders’ Representative, on the other hand. For example, if the Final Purchase Price that would have resulted based on the Closing Statement delivered by Investor pursuant to Section 2.3(a) was $500,000 less than the Final Purchase Price (as finally determined), but the Final Purchase Price that would have resulted based on the adjustments set forth in the Dispute Notice delivered by the Noteholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 2.3(b) was $250,000 more than the Final Purchase Price (as finally determined), Investor will pay 2/3 of such costs and expenses, and the Company will pay 1/3 of such costs and expenses. Any costs and expenses to be paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be satisfied with a portion of
the Escrow Amount , and Investor and the Noteholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute a portion of the Escrow Amount to satisfy such costs and expenses concurrently with the payments that are made pursuant to Section 2.3(e) or Section 2.3(f), as the case may be (or if no such payments are to be made, within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is determined) finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(c); provided, however, that if the Noteholders’ Representative has not become a party to the Escrow Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, the Company shall execute and deliver such joint written instructions in lieu of the Noteholders’ Representative, but such joint written instructions shall not be delivered by Investor and/or the Company to the Escrow Agent without the prior written consent of the Noteholders’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The “Final Statement” shall be deemed to be (i) the Closing Statement if no Dispute Notice is delivered by the Noteholders’ Representative within the 75-day period specified in this Section 2.3(b), (ii) the Closing Statement if the Noteholders’ Representative notifies Investor in writing that the Noteholders’ Representative agrees with the Closing Statement in its entirety at any time during the 75-day period specified in this Section 2.3(b), or (iii) if a Dispute Notice is delivered by the Noteholders’ Representative within the 75-day period specified in this Section 2.3(b), the Closing Statement as adjusted by (A) the written agreement of the Noteholders’ Representative and Investor and/or (B) the written determination of the Accounting Firm.
(c) Within five (5) Business Days after the date on which the Closing Statement becomes the Final Statement in accordance with Section 2.3(b), the Initial Purchase Price shall be increased (if the Adjustment Amount as determined in accordance with this Section 2.3(c) is greater than zero) or decreased (if the Adjustment Amount as determined in accordance with this Section 2.3(c) is less than zero) by the Adjustment Amount. The “Adjustment Amount” shall equal the sum of: (i) the difference between the Closing Working Capital set forth on the Final Statement (the “Final Working Capital”) and the Target Working Capital, expressed as (A) a positive number if the Final Working Capital is more than $500,000 greater than the Target Working Capital, (B) a negative number if the Target Working Capital exceeds the Final Working Capital by more than $500,000 or (C) zero if the Final Working Capital is not more than $500,000 greater or less than the Target Working Capital, plus (ii) the difference between the Target Working Capital and the Closing Working Capital set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement (the “Estimated Working Capital”), expressed as (A) a negative number if the Estimated Working Capital is more than $500,000 greater than the Target Working Capital, (B) a positive number if the Target Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Working Capital by more than $500,000 or (C) zero if the Estimated Working Capital is not more than $500,000 greater or less than the Target Working Capital.
The Initial Purchase Price, as so adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) (or not adjusted after application of the provisions of this Section 2.3(c)), is referred to herein as the “Final Purchase Price”.

The Company shall also be entitled to receive the Escrow Amount pursuant to the terms of Section 8.5(c). The fees and charges of the Escrow Agent shall be paid 50% by the Company and 50% by Investor in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Noteholders’ Representative has not become a party to the Escrow Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof at or following the Closing, neither the Company nor Investor shall instruct or otherwise direct the Escrow Agent to release and/or distribute any funds from the Escrow Account without the prior written consent of the Noteholders’ Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall either Section 6.7 or Section 6.6 limit disclosure by Investor and/or any of its Affiliates to any direct or indirect investors in any such Person, as applicable, or in connection with normal fund raising and related marketing or informational or reporting activities of Investor and/or any such Affiliate.
6.8 Notice of Events. During the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, each party hereto shall promptly notify the other party hereto in writing as soon as such party becomes aware of the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event, condition or circumstance occurring at any time (whether before or after the date of this Agreement) which (a) has caused, or would reasonably be expected to cause, any representation or warranty made by such party in this Agreement to become untrue; provided, that, for purposes of this clause (a) any reference to the “Company’s Knowledge” or similar qualification set forth in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded, (b) would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement or cause any failure by such party to comply with or satisfy any covenant, Closing condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by such party hereunder or (c) would reasonably be expected to delay or otherwise materially affect the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions and/or the Financing Transactions. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, (i) following the date hereof for a period of 20 consecutive days (the “Inquiry Period”) and (ii) on a date determined by the Company within five (5) Business Days of the written request of Investor (the “Closing Inquiry Date”) (for the avoidance of doubt, Investor can make the foregoing request only once and such request must be at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), with respect to any representation or warranty contained in Article IV that is qualified by the “Company’s Knowledge”, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Knowledge Members to (x) make reasonable due inquiry of each such Knowledge Member’s direct reports and (y) make due inquiry of the Company’s counsel (including healthcare counsel) with respect to the subject matter addressed by the applicable representations and warranties (the Company’s Knowledge, as qualified by the information obtained from such inquiries, the “Updated Company Knowledge”). Promptly following such Inquiry Period, the Company shall update the
Disclosure Schedules with any additional information and disclosures applicable as a result of the foregoing inquiry. In the event that the Company provides an update to the Disclosure Schedules in accordance with this Section 6.8, it shall provide such additional disclosures to Investor promptly in accordance with Section 10.5. Following the delivery of notice by a Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Update Recipient”) of any addition to the disclosure included in the Disclosing Party’s Schedules in accordance with this Section 6.8 (the “Updated Schedules”), the Update Recipient would have ten (10) Business Days to advise the Disclosing Party in writing (an “Update MAE Notice”) in accordance with Section 10.5 that, as of such date, it believes the information set forth in the Updated Schedules, together with all changes, effects, events, occurrences, state of facts or developments previously disclosed in accordance with this Section 6.8 (individually or in the aggregate), constitute a Material Adverse Effect or Investor MAE, as the case may be (an “Update MAE”). Following the delivery notice of an Update MAE Notice to the Disclosing Party, the Update Recipient would have an additional five (5) Business Days (the “Update MAE Determination Period”) in which to terminate this Agreement as a result of the Update MAE pursuant to, in the case of Investor, Section 8.1(c)(ii) or Section 8.1(c)(iii), or, in the case of the Company, Section 8.2(b)(ii). During the Update MAE Determination Period, the Disclosing Party and the Update Recipient shall cooperate in good faith with respect to the determination of whether there is a Material Adverse Effect or an Investor MAE, as the case may. If the Update Recipient has not terminated this Agreement pursuant to the applicable provisions referenced above prior to 10:00 pm Eastern Time on the last day of the Update MAE Determination Period, the Update Recipient shall have been deemed to have waived its right to terminate this Agreement based on the changes, effects, events, occurrences, state of facts or developments disclosed in accordance with this Section 6.8 prior to the delivery of the Update MAE Notice pursuant to, in the case of Investor, Section 7.3(g) or Section 7.3(i), or, in the case of the Company, Section 7.2(d) or Section 7.2(m); provided, however, that in the event that there is a further update to the Schedules by the Disclosing Party, the provisions of this Section 6.8 with respect to an Update MAE shall once again apply and all changes, effects, events, occurrences, state of facts or developments previously disclosed in accordance with this Section 6.8 will be taken into consideration by the Update Recipient in determining whether there is a Material Adverse Effect or an Investor MAE, as the case may be.

(k) Legal Opinion. Investor shall have delivered to the Company a written opinion of (i) Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP (counsel to Investor), accompanied by a reliance letter authorizing the holders of the Amended Notes as of the Closing to rely on such opinion, covering such matters as are set forth in Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, and such opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, and (ii) counsel to Investor reasonably acceptable to the Company in each jurisdiction where a Subsidiary of Parent has been formed or organized other than New York or Delaware, accompanied by a reliance letter authorizing the holders of the Amended Notes as of the Closing to rely on such opinion, covering such matters as are set forth in Exhibit F-2 attached hereto, and such opinion shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company;
(l) No Registration; Compliance with Securities Laws. The offer, issuance and delivery of the Amended Note Guarantees shall be exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, and no Proceeding shall be pending or threatened by any Governmental Authority that alleges that the offer, issuance

(a) Agreement Order. The Agreement Order shall have been entered by the Bankruptcy Court, and the Agreement Order shall have become a Final Order; provided, however, that the condition set forth in this Section 7.3(a) shall be deemed waived and of no further force or effect fifteen (15) days following the date on which an Order is entered by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to the Agreement Motion;
(b) Confirmation Order. The Confirmation Order shall have been entered by the Bankruptcy Court and the Confirmation Order shall have become a Final Order;

(e) [Intentionally Deleted];
(f) Valid Issuance. The Shares shall be, upon payment of the Purchase Price as provided herein, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, non-assessable and free and clear of all Taxes, Liens, pre-emptive rights, rights of first refusal, subscription and similar rights, except for any restrictions on transfer as may be imposed by applicable Law or Liens created under the Investor Financing Documents or other Liens created by Investor;
(g) Company Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article IV shall be true and correct in all respects (provided that any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Article IV that is subject to a “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” qualification will not be so
qualified and any such qualification shall be given no effect for purposes of determining the existence of any breach thereof on the part of the Company) as of the Closing Inquiry Date as though made on and as of the Closing Inquiry Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties speak as of an earlier date and provided that any reference to the “Company’s Knowledge” set forth therein shall for purposes of this Section 7.3(g) be deemed to be the “Updated Company Knowledge”), except where the failure of such representations and warranties (other than the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.2) to be so true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate with any other such failures or breaches on the part of the Company, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(h) Organizational Documents. At the written request of Investor (given no less than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date), the Organizational Documents of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries shall have been (or simultaneously with the Closing will be) amended, and shall have been (or simultaneously with the Closing will be) filed with the applicable Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction of organization or formation of the Company and each such Subsidiary to be effective as such as of the Closing, and such amended Organizational Documents shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Investor;
(i) Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred a Material Adverse Effect;

(m) Additional Delivery. The Company shall have made the delivery described on Schedule 7.3(m).
7.4 Frustration of Closing Conditions. Neither Investor nor the Company may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.1, Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to comply with its obligations under Section 6.9.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT
8.1 Termination by Investor. This Agreement may be terminated and the Contemplated Transactions may be abandoned at any time by Investor by written notice to the Company:
(a) if the Company has breached or failed to perform any of its covenants, obligations or other agreements that are set forth in Section 6.1(e); provided that such breach or failure to perform is not cured within 30 days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from Investor or is incapable of being cured by the Company on or prior to the End Date;
(b) if the Company has breached or failed to perform any of its covenants, obligations or other agreements that are set forth in Sections 6.1(c) and 6.1(d); provided that such breach or failure to perform is not cured within 30 days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from Investor or is incapable of being cured by the Company on or prior to the End Date (it being understood that the 30 day cure period set forth in this Section 8.1(b) shall correspondingly extend the applicable dates set forth in Section 6.1(c) and 6.1(d), except the End Date);
(c) if (i) the Company has breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by it such that the closing condition set forth in Section 7.3(j) would not be satisfied, except with respect to the covenants or other agreements set forth in Sections 6.1(c), 6.1(d), 6.1(e) and 6.14, which shall be governed with regard to such matters by Section 8.1(a), Section 8.1(b) and Section 8.1(g) (as applicable), (ii) there exists any change, effect, event, occurrence, state of facts or development such that the closing condition set forth in Section 7.3(i) would not be satisfied or (iii) any representation or warranty of the Company contained in this Agreement shall have become untrue such that the closing condition set forth in Section 7.3(g) would not be satisfied, and in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, such breach, failure to perform or occurrence is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from Investor or is incapable of being cured by the Company on or prior to the End Date;
(d) if the Restructuring Support Agreement shall have been terminated as to (i) the Company or (ii) the Consenting Debtholders;
(e) if the Bankruptcy Court enters an Order (i) directing the appointment of an examiner with expanded powers or a trustee, (ii) converting any of the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (iii) dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases;
(f) if the Company enters into a definitive agreement with any Person (other than Investor or its Affiliates) with respect to (i) any Inconsistent Transaction except, subject to the terms of the Bidding Procedures, in the event that the entering into such agreement relates to an Inconsistent Transaction with the Winning Bidder (as defined in
the Bidding Procedures) and Investor is the Second-Highest Bidder (as defined in the Bidding Procedures), in which case, Investor shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) upon the earlier of (x) the date that is 90 days after acceptance by the Company of the Winning Bid in accordance with the Bidding Procedures and (y) the closing of the Winning Bid or (ii) a Stand-Alone Plan; or
(g) within ten (10) Business Days following the Start Date Meeting, without liability or obligation to any party hereunder, if Investor determines, in its sole discretion, that the results of its due diligence investigation with respect to the matters that are the subject of the Diligence Questionnaire could have a material impact on any of Investor or its Affiliates, the Company or the Subsidiaries of the Company following the Closing, whether due to the substance of such findings or a conclusion that it has not received sufficient or complete information with respect to such matters or for any other reason.
8.2 Termination by the Company. This Agreement may be terminated and the Contemplated Transactions may be abandoned at any time by the Company by written notice to Investor:
(a) in the event that the Company’s board of directors approves an Inconsistent Transaction or Stand-Alone Plan at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order;
(b) if (i) Investor has breached or failed to perform any of its covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by it such that the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(e) would not be satisfied or (ii) any representation or warranty of Investor contained in this Agreement shall have become untrue such that the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(d) would not be satisfied, and in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii) above, such breach, failure to perform or occurrence is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt by Investor of written notice thereof from the Company or is incapable of being cured by Investor on or prior to the End Date;
(c) if (i) Investor shall have failed to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(f), Section 7.2(g), Section 7.2(h), Section 7.2(i), Section 7.2(k) or Section 7.2(l) prior to the End Date or (ii) any event, fact, circumstance or condition exists that shall have made any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(f), Section 7.2(g), Section 7.2(h), Section 7.2(i) or Section 7.2(l) incapable or impossible of being satisfied prior to the End Date. If the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) on the End Date or on any date after the End Date and the Investor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3(c) on the same date that the Company so terminated this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated by the Company pursuant to this Section 8.2(c); or
(d) if the condition set forth in Section 7.3(m) has not been satisfied as of the date that is forty-five (45) days from the date of this Agreement.
8.3 Termination by Mutual Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time:
(a) by mutual written consent of the Company and Investor;
(b) by Investor or the Company, upon written notice to the other party, if a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction has issued an Order permanently enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, and such Order has become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.3(b) shall not be available to any party whose material breach of any provision of this Agreement results in or causes such Order; or
(c) by either Investor or the Company if the Closing has not occurred on or before 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the End Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.3(c) shall not be available to any party who is in material breach of this Agreement.
8.4 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article VIII, this Agreement shall become void and have no further force or effect and no party will have any liability or any further obligation to any other party, except that (a) the terms and provisions of this Section 8.4, Section 2.4, Section 2.5, Section 6.7, Section 8.5, Article I and Article X will survive any termination of this Agreement, and (b) the terms and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees and shall not dispute that the giving of notice of termination by Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and each such person hereby waives, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of the automatic stay to the giving of such notice).
8.5 Damages Upon Termination.
(a) If (i) this Agreement is (x) terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1(b) or Section 8.1(c) (unless such termination is due to the existence of a CMS MAE) and (y) the Company consummates an Inconsistent Transaction on or prior to the date that is four (4) months following the date of such termination, (ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f)(i), (iii) this Agreement is (x) terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(f)(ii) and (y) the Company consummates an Inconsistent Transaction on or prior to the date that is four (4) months following the date of such termination or (iv) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.2(a), whether or not any of parties are then party, voluntarily or involuntarily, to a Proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, then at such time, the Company will pay (or will cause to be paid) to Investor (or its designee), as liquidated damages, a payment of $1,000,000 (the “Break Up Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Investor, and Investor’s right to receive the Break Up Fee under the circumstances described in this Section 8.5(a) shall be Investor’s sole and exclusive remedy following a termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at the time of any such termination described in this Section 8.5 Investor is also in material breach of
this Agreement such that any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(d) or Section 7.2(e) would not be satisfied, Investor shall have no right to the Break Up Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, Investor shall not be entitled to receive payment of the Break Up Fee, and the Company shall not be required to pay the Break Up Fee to Investor, if this Agreement is terminated by Investor as a result of, or on account of, a CMS MAE. Investor acknowledges and agrees that payment of the Break Up Fee and reimbursement of its Transaction Expenses, in each case to the extent due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, shall be Investor’s sole and exclusive remedies against the Company, any Affiliate or Representative of the Company and each of their respective assets and properties following a termination of this Agreement.
(b) Any such payments pursuant to Section 8.5(a) will be earned and payable by the Company to Investor (or its designee) immediately upon the consummation of the Inconsistent Transaction and without Bankruptcy Court review or further Bankruptcy Court order, but in accordance with the Plan. Investor and the Company agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to determine the extent of any damages to Investor that might result from a termination of this Agreement by the Company under such circumstances. Therefore, the parties acknowledge and agree that any payment to Investor made pursuant Section 8.5(a) will be paid as liquidated damages and the parties’ good faith estimate of the actual potential damages to Investor for any such termination.
(c) In the event of a termination of this Agreement prior to the Closing pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.2(c), whether or not the parties are then party, voluntarily or involuntarily, to a Proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code , then the Company shall receive all of the amounts then remaining in the Escrow Account and the receipt of such amounts shall be the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy as a result of any such termination; provided, however, that in the event that the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.2(c) shall have been caused by, or shall have resulted from, a willful and intentional breach of any term, covenant, representation, warranty or other provision of this Agreement (including Investor’s willful and intentional failure to pay any portion of the Initial Purchase Price upon satisfaction (or deemed satisfaction) or waiver of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 (other than those conditions which are to be satisfied only on the Closing Date)), then, in addition to (and not in lieu of) the Company’s right to receive the amounts then remaining in the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms hereof, and as the Company’s sole and exclusive remedy, Investor shall be liable for all actual damages and/or liabilities incurred or suffered by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of any such breach; provided, that, in no event shall such liability exceed an amount equal to the sum of (x) amounts then remaining in the Escrow Account and (y) $10,000,000; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if at such time the Company is also in material breach of this Agreement such that any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(j) or Section 7.3(g) would not be satisfied, the Company shall have no right to any damages and/or liabilities under this Section 8.5, and for purposes of clarity, Investor shall receive the Escrow Amount then remaining in the Escrow Account. Immediately following any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.2(c), Investor and the Company shall execute and deliver joint
written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute all of the amounts then remaining in the Escrow Account to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful and intentional breach” shall mean a breach by Investor of any term, covenant, representation, warranty or other provision set forth in this Agreement that is a consequence of an act or failure to act, in each case, taken or omitted intentionally and with the knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to act would, when taken in the context of other related actions taken by Investor, cause a breach of this Agreement.
ARTICLE IX
TAX MATTERS
9.1 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration, stamp and other such Taxes and conveyancing fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by Investor, and Investor will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS AND GENERAL
10.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but is not assignable by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided that Investor may, without the prior written consent of any party, assign any or all of its rights hereunder to (a) one or more of its Affiliates; provided that (i) the assignee shall assume in writing all of Investor’s obligations hereunder and (ii) Investor shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder by reason of such assignment, (b) any lender for collateral purposes or (c) any future purchaser of all or substantially all of the equity securities or assets of the Company.
10.2 Third Party Beneficiaries. Each party hereto intends that this Agreement does not benefit or create any right, remedy or cause of action in or on behalf of any Person other than the parties hereto (and their permitted assigns). Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, the Noteholders’ Representative is an intended third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent such provisions expressly relate to the Noteholders’ Representative.
10.3 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing. No party hereto will be entitled to any indemnification or other recourse on account of any breaches of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement.
10.4 Further Assurances. The parties shall execute such further instruments and take such further actions as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Agreement. Each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate affirmatively with
the other party, to the extent reasonably requested by such other party, to enforce rights and obligations herein provided.
10.5 Notices. Any notice, direction or other communication given regarding the matters contemplated by this Agreement (each, a “Notice”) must be in writing, sent by personal delivery, electronic mail, courier or facsimile and addressed:

Any party may change its address for service from time to time by providing a Notice in accordance with the foregoing. Any element of a party’s address that is not specifically changed in a Notice will be assumed not to be changed. Sending a copy of a Notice to a party’s legal counsel as contemplated above is for information purposes only and does not constitute delivery of the Notice to that party. The failure to send a copy of a Notice to legal counsel does not invalidate delivery of that Notice to a party.
10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules referred to herein, the Plan, the Common Interest Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and cancel all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect thereto, whether written or oral, express or implied.
10.7 Captions; Interpretation. The captions contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement. The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any schedules and exhibits hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and all Article, Section, Schedule and Exhibit references are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any capitalized terms used in any schedule or exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “if” means “if and only if.” The meanings given to terms defined herein will be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun includes the corresponding masculine, feminine and neuter forms. All references to “dollars” or “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any reference in this Agreement to a statute refers to such statute and all rules and regulations made under it, as it or they may have been or may from time to time be amended, re-enacted or replaced. The Disclosure Schedules shall be arranged in sections and subsections corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in Article IV and the disclosure in any section or subsection shall, to the extent applicable, qualify other sections and subsections in Article IV.
10.8 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by an instrument in writing duly executed by the Company and Investor; provided, that no amendment may be made that alters the terms, substance or meaning of the provisions expressly relating to the Noteholders’ Representative without the prior written approval of the Noteholders’ Representative.
10.9 Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing Date, the Company and Investor may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein, to the extent permitted by applicable Law. Any agreement to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in a writing signed by the Company, Noteholders’ Representative and Investor.
10.10 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related in any way to this Agreement, the relationship of the parties, the transactions leading to this Agreement or contemplated hereby, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties hereunder or related in any way to the foregoing, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Federal bankruptcy law and, where state law is implicated, the internal, substantive laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements entered into and to be performed solely within such state without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES, THE TRANSACTIONS LEADING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND/OR THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER OR RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE FOREGOING MAY ONLY BE INSTITUTED IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT (AS DEFINED HEREIN), AND EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH SUCH PARTY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT (AS DEFINED HEREIN) IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF THE PARTIES WAIVES ANY BOND, SURETY, OR OTHER SECURITY THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED OF ANY OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT THERETO. ANY PARTY MAY MAKE SERVICE ON ANY OTHER PARTY BY SENDING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF THE PROCESS TO SUCH PARTY TO BE SERVED AT THE ADDRESS AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICES IN SECTION 10.5 ABOVE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.10, HOWEVER, SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR IN EQUITY. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SO BROUGHT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW OR IN EQUITY.
10.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE OR ACTION, CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR SUIT (IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INQUIRY, PROCEEDING OR INVESTIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER
HEREOF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS OR THE FINANCING TRANSACTIONS, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INFORMED BY THE OTHER PARTY HERETO THAT THIS SECTION 10.11 CONSTITUTES A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT UPON WHICH IT IS RELYING AND WILL RELY IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT. ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 10.11 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH SUCH PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF ITS RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
10.12 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision will be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by means of telecopied, facsimile or .pdf signature pages), each of which will be deemed an original but all of which will constitute but one instrument.
10.14 Specific Performance. Subject in all respects to the last sentence of this Section 10.14, the Company and Investor acknowledge and agree that (a) irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached or threatened to be breached, and (b) remedies at Law would not be adequate to compensate the non-breaching party. Accordingly, subject to the Bidding Procedures and the last sentence of this Section 10.14, prior to any valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, the Company and Investor agree that each of them and (following the Closing) the Noteholders’ Representative shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce its rights and obligations hereunder not only by a Proceeding or Proceedings for damages but also by a Proceeding or Proceedings for specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Subject to the Bidding Procedures and the last sentence of this Section 10.14, the right to equitable relief, including specific performance or injunctive relief, shall exist notwithstanding, and shall not be limited by, any other provision of this Agreement. Each of the Company and Investor hereby waives any defense that a remedy at Law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or other security in connection with actions instituted for injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable remedies. Subject to the Bidding Procedures and the last sentence of this Section 10.14, each of the Company and Investor hereby agrees not to assert that specific performance, injunctive and other equitable remedies are unenforceable, violate public policy, and invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason. The right of specific performance, injunctive and other equitable remedies is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, or the limitations set forth in the last sentence of this Section 10.14, neither the Company
nor Investor would have entered into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 10.14 shall limit, alter or impair the Company’s rights under Section 6.9 of this Agreement or to consummate an Inconsistent Transaction in accordance with the Bidding Procedures. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Company, the Noteholders’ Representative or any other Person shall be entitled to seek or otherwise obtain specific performance to require Investor (or its assignee) to effect the Closing or pay the Initial Purchase Price. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Company, the Noteholders’ Representative or any other Person shall have any right whatsoever to injunctive relief in order to prevent breaches of the provisions of Article III or Article VII, or any right whatsoever to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief under Article III or Article VII.
10.15 Disclosure. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or as permitted by the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company will not, without Investor’s prior written consent, disclose to any Person the identity of Investor or its Representatives, other than to the Company’s Representatives, in each case in connection with the Contemplated Transactions and the Financing Transactions.
10.16 Noteholders’ Representative. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither the Noteholders’ Representative nor any past, present or future incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, trustee or Representative of the Noteholders’ Representative shall have any liability or obligation with respect to this Agreement or with respect to any claim or cause of action that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be deemed to be a Representative of the Noteholders’ Representative hereunder.
