(b)         Not later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller Representative (i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of 12:01 AM (Pacific time) on the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with (I) GAAP and (II) accounting policies applied by the Company for purposes of preparing its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 (with any conflicts between GAAP and the policies set forth in the preceding clause (II) to be resolved in favor of GAAP), without reflecting any actual or anticipated adjustments or effects arising from the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”), and (ii) a closing statement setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation, on the basis of the Final Closing Balance Sheet, of Assumed Liabilities (the “Final Assumed Liabilities”) (the items specified in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the “Final Closing Balance Sheet Documents”).

(c)          The Final Closing Balance Sheet Documents shall be subject to the Seller Representative’s review.  In reviewing such items, the Seller Representative shall have the right to review the work papers, schedules, memoranda and other documents Purchaser prepared or reviewed in preparing the Final Closing Balance Sheet Documents and thereafter will have

13

access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, to all relevant Books and Records, all to the extent the Seller Representative reasonably requires them to complete its review of the Final Closing Balance Sheet Documents.  Within 30 days after its receipt of the Final Closing Balance Sheet Documents, the Seller Representative shall notify Purchaser whether, based on such review, it has any objections to the calculation of the Final Assumed Liabilities (an “Objection Notice”).  Unless the Seller Representative delivers to Purchaser within such 30-day period an Objection Notice, the Final Assumed Liabilities shall be final and binding.

(d)         If the Seller Representative delivers an Objection Notice, then (i) for 20 days after Purchaser receives such Objection Notice, Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to agree on the calculation of the disputed amounts and (ii) lacking such agreement, the matter shall be referred to an independent nationally-recognized accounting firm as may be mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and the Seller Representative (the “Arbitrating Accountants”).  The Arbitrating Accountants shall be directed to render a written report to the Seller Representative and Purchaser on the unresolved disputed items as soon as practicable (and in no event later than thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute to the Arbitrating Accountants), to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Objection Notice, not to make any determination of a disputed amount that is outside the range of the proposed amounts submitted by Purchaser and the Seller Representative, and to make any determinations solely in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.  If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Arbitrating Accountants, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall each furnish to the Arbitrating Accountants such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Arbitrating Accountants may reasonably request.  The determination of the Arbitrating Accountants shall be final and binding on Purchaser and Sellers and not subject to collateral attack for any reason other than manifest error or fraud.  The Seller Representative and Purchaser each agree to use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Arbitrating Accountants and to cause the Arbitrating Accountants to resolve any dispute no later than thirty (30) days after submission of the dispute to the Arbitrating Accountants in accordance with this Agreement.  Of the fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountants, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers jointly and severally, on the other hand, shall bear a fraction equal to (i) the absolute value of the difference between the Post-Closing Adjustment that would have been payable based on the submission of such party and the Post-Closing Adjustment based on the determination of the Arbitrating Accountants divided by (ii) the absolute value of the difference between the Post-Closing Adjustment that would have been payable based on the submission of Purchaser and the Post-Closing Adjustment that would have been payable based on the submission of the Seller Representative.  For illustrative purposes only, should the Post-Closing Adjustment payable based on the submission of Purchaser be $80, the Post-Closing Adjustment payable based on the submission of the Seller Representative be $100 and the Post-Closing Adjustment payable based on the determination of the Arbitrating Accountants be $95, Purchase would bear 75% (($95 — $80) / ($100 - $80)) and Sellers would bear 25% (($100-$95) / ($100 - $80)) of the fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountants.

(e)          If the amount equal to the Estimated Assumed Liabilities minus the Final Assumed Liabilities as finally determined hereunder (the “Post-Closing Adjustment”) is greater than $0 (zero), then Purchaser shall pay to the Seller Representative (for the benefit of Sellers) an

14

amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment.  If the Post-Closing Adjustment is less than $0 (zero), then the Seller Representative shall (on behalf of Sellers) pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment.  Each payment under this Section 2.04(e) shall be made within five Business Days after such final determination by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account specified by the recipient.

2.05                                          Purchase Price Allocation.  Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, the Seller Representative shall deliver to Purchaser a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (including any liabilities of the Company or any Subsidiary that are properly taken into account for Tax purposes and any payments to Sellers pursuant to Section 14.04) among the Assets and Properties of the Company and the Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of state, local or foreign law, as applicable). Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of Seller Representative’s proposed allocation to provide any changes or objections. If Purchaser objects in writing to Seller Representative’s proposed allocation within such thirty (30) day period, then the parties shall cooperate in good faith to reach a mutually agreeable allocation. Any agreed allocation shall be binding on the parties, and each Seller and Purchaser shall use such agreed allocation in connection with the filing of all relevant U.S. federal, state and local income Tax Returns.  If the parties cannot agree on an appropriate allocation of the Purchase Price, each party shall be entitled to report using an allocation that such party determines appropriate for purposes of computing such party’s Tax obligations.

2.06                                          Further Assurances; Post-Closing Cooperation.

(a)         At any time or from time to time after the Closing, Sellers shall execute and deliver to Purchaser such other documents and instruments, provide such materials and information and take such other actions as Purchaser may reasonably request more effectively to vest title to the Units in Purchaser and, to the full extent permitted by Law, to put Purchaser in actual possession and operating control of the Company and the Subsidiaries and their Assets and Properties and Books and Records, and otherwise to cause Sellers to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement.

(b)         Following the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser will afford each other, and their respective counsel and accountants, during normal business hours, reasonable access to the books, records and other data relating to the Business or Condition of the Company in their possession with respect to periods prior to the Closing and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom, to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by the requesting party in connection with (i) the preparation of Tax Returns, (ii) the determination or enforcement of rights and obligations under this Agreement, (iii) compliance with the requirements of any Governmental or Regulatory Authority, (iv) the determination or enforcement of the rights and obligations of any party to this Agreement or (v) in connection with any actual or threatened Action or Proceeding.  Further, Sellers and Purchaser agree for a period extending six (6) years after the Closing Date not to destroy or otherwise dispose of any such books, records and other data unless they shall first offer in writing to surrender such books, records and other data to the other party and such other party shall not agree in writing to take possession thereof during the ten (10) day period after such offer is made.

15

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, if the parties are in an adversarial relationship in litigation or arbitration, the furnishing of information, documents or records in accordance with any provision of this Section shall be subject to applicable rules relating to discovery; provided that nothing in this Section 2.06(c) shall limit or otherwise modify Purchaser’s rights in, and Sellers’ obligation to deliver, all Assets and Properties and Books and Records of the Company and/or any Subsidiary.

2.07                                          Excluded Assets.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Assets and Properties listed on Section 2.07 of the Disclosure Schedule and all accounts receivable of any of the Company and the Subsidiaries to the extent such accounts receivable are set forth, with specific ledger references allowing their identification, on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (such Assets and Properties and accounts receivable, collectively, the “Excluded Assets”) shall be excluded from the Assets and Properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  The Sellers shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to transfer all right, title and interest in, and all obligations and liabilities related to, such Excluded Assets to a Person, other than the Company or any Subsidiary, effective prior to the Closing.  There shall be no adjustment of the Purchase Price in respect of such Excluded Assets.

2.08                                          Tax Treatment.  Purchaser and Sellers agree to treat the purchase and sale of the Units pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with, and as covered by, Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 423 (Situation 2).  Sellers and Purchaser shall not (and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to) take any position on any Tax Return or any other filings, declarations or reports with the Internal Revenue Service and/or other taxing authorities that is inconsistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by applicable Law or pursuant to a final determination (within the meaning of Code Section 1313(a)) or corresponding provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law.

2.09                                          Certain Determinations.  Any determinations under this Agreement in which Purchaser action is required, including in connection with determinations of Purchase Price (specifically adjustments thereto), and indemnification (to the extent provided in Section 12.02(c)) or any dispute hereunder, any amendment or waiver of any of the terms and provisions hereof, and any consent or approval provided hereunder, shall be made by the Special Committee of the Board of Managers of Purchaser (or as may be constituted at the parent company of Purchaser) as constituted on the date hereof or, if such committee is no longer constituted, by a majority of the independent members of the Board of Managers of Purchaser or its parent (independence for these purposes meaning such individual is and has been independent of the Seller and has no interest in the Seller or any of its Affiliates other than solely by reason of an interest in Purchaser) (as applicable, the “Committee”).

ARTICLE X
TAX MATTERS

10.01                                   Tax Indemnity.  Sellers hereby agree, jointly and severally, to be liable for and to indemnify Purchaser from and against (a) all Taxes of the Company and each Subsidiary (or any predecessor thereof) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (determined as provided in Section 10.02); and (b) all Transfer Taxes for which Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 10.05.

10.02                                   Allocations; Straddle Periods.  In the case of any Taxes other than property and ad valorem Taxes, obligations shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period or the Post-Closing Tax Period, as applicable, by assuming that the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period consisted of two (2) taxable years or periods, one of which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other of which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit shall be allocated between such two (2) taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books were closed at the close of the Closing Date.  In the case of any property or ad valorem Taxes, obligations shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the Post-Closing Tax Period based upon a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on the close of the Closing Date, in the case of an allocation to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or the number of calendar days in the period beginning the day following the Closing Date and ending on the last day of the period, in the case of an allocation to a Post-Closing Tax Period, and in each case the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

10.03                                   Tax Returns.

(a)         Sellers shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Sellers, prepare (or cause to be prepared) all Tax Returns of the Company and the Subsidiaries, including IRS Form 1065, for each taxable year that ends on or prior to the Closing Date (each a “Seller Prepared Return”).  Each Seller Prepared Return shall be prepared in accordance with the past practices and customs of the Company and the Subsidiaries except as otherwise required by Law.  Subject to the Seller Representative’s prior written consent, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall amend or file any Tax Return, or make any retroactive Tax election, relating to any tax period ending on or before the Closing Date.

(b)         Purchaser shall, at the sole cost and expense of Purchaser, prepare (or cause to be prepared) all Tax Returns of the Company and each Subsidiary for each Straddle Period (each, a “Shared Return”).  Each Shared Return shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practices and customs of each Company and Subsidiary and shall be delivered to the Seller Representative, for the review and approval of the Seller Representative, at least ten (10) days prior to the due date for such Tax Return (including any applicable extensions).  The Purchaser shall cause the Shared Return to incorporate any changes reasonably requested by the Seller Representative that are consistent with the past practices and customs of the Company and each Subsidiary, as applicable. The Seller Representative and the Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding the Shared Returns subject to the dispute resolution procedures of Section 10.08.  In no event shall the provision of comments by the Seller Representative prevent the Purchaser from timely filing any Shared Return, subject to

46

amendment to reflect the resolution when rendered by the Arbitrating Accountants.  Any Pre-Closing Tax Obligations owed by Sellers on a Shared Return shall be paid by Sellers to Purchaser by the due date of such Shared Return.

10.04                                   Cooperation.  After the Closing Date, Sellers and Purchaser shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation of all Tax Returns pursuant to this Article X, in connection with any Tax investigation, audit or other proceeding and any other matters relating to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, investigation, audit or other proceeding, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

10.05                                   Transfer Taxes.  Each of Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, jointly and severally, on the other hand, shall pay 50% of all sales, use, transfer, real property transfer, recording, gains, stock transfer and other similar taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”) arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement. Purchaser shall file all necessary documentation and Tax Returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes, and Sellers shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns, including by joining in the execution of any such Tax Return and/or providing documentation required to establish an exemption from Transfer Taxes as required or allowed by law.

10.06                                   Tax Refunds.  Any Tax refunds that are received by Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary, and any amounts credited against Taxes to which Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary becomes entitled, in each case that relate to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall be for the account of Sellers and shall be forwarded by Purchaser to Sellers promptly following receipt, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after receipt or entitlement thereto, provided, however, that Sellers shall not be entitled to any refund that is attributable to the carryback of losses arising in or attributable to a Post-Closing Tax Period.

10.07                                   Tax Audits.

(a)         If notice of any judicial, administrative or arbitral actions, suits, mediation, investigation, inquiry, proceedings or claims (including counterclaims) by or before any Governmental or Regulatory Authority with respect to Taxes of the Company or any Subsidiary (a “Tax Claim”) shall be received by any party for which another party would be liable pursuant to this Article X, the notified party shall notify such other parties in writing of such Tax Claim.

(b)         The Seller Representative may elect, within 30 days of receiving such notice, to direct any Tax Claim, at Sellers expense, that relates solely to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (a “Seller Tax Contest”) and to employ counsel of its choice; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have the right, at its expense, to consult with the Seller Representative regarding such Seller Tax Contest.  Purchaser, at its expense, shall have the right to control all other Tax Claims (each a “Purchaser’s Tax Contest”); provided, however, that the Seller Representative shall have the right, at its expense, to consult with Purchaser regarding a Purchaser’s Tax Contest if Sellers would be liable for a portion of the Taxes that may result from the Purchaser’s Tax Contest; and provided, further, that Purchaser may not agree to settle any such Purchaser’s Tax Contest

47

without the Seller Representative’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the Purchaser agrees to assume and become liable for all Taxes resulting from the Purchaser’s Tax Contest.  In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 10.07, on the one hand, and the provisions of Section 12.02, on the other, the provisions of this Section 10.07 shall control.

10.08                                   Disputes.  Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of Section 14.14, any dispute as to any matter covered under this Article X (a “Tax Dispute”) shall be resolved through binding arbitration administered by tax experts of the Arbitrating Accountants.  The place of the arbitration shall be Las Vegas, Nevada and the arbitration shall be conducted in the English language.  The Arbitrating Accountants shall be instructed to resolve the Tax Dispute and such resolution shall be (A) set forth in writing and signed by the Arbitrating Accountants, (B) delivered to each party involved in the Tax Dispute as soon as practicable after the Tax Dispute is submitted to the Arbitrating Accountants but no later than the fifteenth (15th) day after the Arbitrating Accountants are instructed to resolve the Tax Dispute, (C) made in accordance with this Agreement, and (D) final, binding and conclusive on the parties involved in the Tax Dispute on the date of delivery of such resolution.  The Arbitrating Accountants shall only be authorized on any one issue to decide in favor of and choose the position of either of the parties involved in the Tax Dispute or to decide upon a compromise position between the ranges presented by the Parties to the Arbitrating Accountants.  The Arbitrating Accountants shall base their decision solely upon the presentations of the parties to the Arbitrating Accountants at a hearing held before the Arbitrating Accountants and upon any materials made available by either party and not upon independent review.  The fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountants shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, in accordance with the principles set forth in the last two sentences of Section 2.04(d).  Purchaser and Sellers shall keep the decision of the Arbitrating Accountants confidential, except to the extent required by Law or pursuant to disclosure of Tax Returns.

10.09                                   Purchase Price Adjustment.  For federal, state and local Tax purposes, any payments made under this Article X shall be treated by the Purchaser and Sellers as an adjustment to the Purchase Price except as otherwise required by applicable Law or pursuant to a good faith resolution of a Tax Claim.

ARTICLE XI
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES,
COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

11.01                                   Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.  Notwithstanding any right of Purchaser (whether or not exercised) to investigate the affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries or any right of any party (whether or not exercised) to investigate the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement, Sellers and Purchaser have the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other contained in this Agreement.  Except as provided in the following sentence, each of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the later of (x) the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing and (y) the date that is thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the report by its external auditors

48

on the audited balance sheets of Purchaser and its consolidated subsidiaries (including the Company and the Subsidiaries) and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, members’ equity and cash flow with respect to the year ended December 31, 2016.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Sellers and Purchaser contained in this Agreement will survive the Closing (a) until the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.12; (b) indefinitely with respect to (i) the representations and warranties contained in (A) Sections 3.02, 3.03, 3.05(b), 3.23, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04(b) (the “Company/Seller Fundamental Representations”) and (B) Sections 5.02 and 5.07 (the “Purchaser Fundamental Representations”) and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 2.06 and 14.04; (c) until sixty (60) days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive) with respect to matters covered by Sections 3.09 and Article X; (d) for six (6) months in the case of any covenant or agreement to be performed in whole or in part on or prior to the Closing; or (e) with respect to each other covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, until sixty (60) days following the last date on which such covenant or agreement is to be performed or, if no such date is specified, indefinitely; provided that any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that would otherwise terminate in accordance with clause (a), (c), (d) or (e) above will continue to survive if a Claim Notice or Indemnity Notice (as applicable) shall have been timely given under Article XII on or prior to such termination date, until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided in Article XII.  Following the expiration of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement as set forth above, no Action or Proceeding may be initiated by any Purchaser Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party with respect thereto, regardless of any statute of limitations period that would otherwise apply.

ARTICLE XII
INDEMNIFICATION

12.01                                   Indemnification.

(a)         Subject to paragraphs (c) of this Section 12.01 and the other Sections of this Article XII,

(i)                                                             each Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, whether or not involving a third-party claim, directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller; and

(ii)                                                          Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, whether or not involving a third-party claim, directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of or relating to (A) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, (B) nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Sellers contained in this Agreement, (C) the Excluded Assets, including all obligations and liabilities related thereto or (D) the matters set forth in Section 3.08 of the Disclosure Schedule.

49

(b)         Subject to the other Sections of this Article XII, Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or (ii) nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser contained in this Agreement.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.01, Sellers shall have no obligation to indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 12.01(a)(ii)(A) (i) unless and until such time as the aggregate amount of all Losses suffered by, imposed on or incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties exceeds an amount equal to Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Threshold”), and then only for such excess, or (ii) for any claim or series of related claims for which the Losses aggregate less than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Basket”) (provided, if such Losses do aggregate to or exceed such amount, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for the entire aggregate amount of such Losses, irrespective of the Basket but subject to the Threshold); provided, however, that (A) neither the Threshold nor the Basket shall apply to Losses arising from any breach of any Company/Seller Fundamental Representation or of any of those representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.08 or 3.09 or in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct, (B) the cumulative aggregate indemnity obligations of Sellers under Section 12.01(a)(ii)(A) with respect to representations and warranties other than (x) the Company/Seller Fundamental Representations, (y) any representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.08 or 3.09, or (z) in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct shall in no event exceed Forty Six Million Dollars ($46,000,000), and (C) the cumulative aggregate indemnity obligations of Sellers under Section 12.01(a)(i) or 12.01(a)(ii)(A) with respect to the Company/Seller Fundamental Representations or any representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.08 or 3.09 shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price (determined without regard to Section 12.04), other than in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct.

(d)         The indemnification obligation of any particular Seller for Losses arising under Section 12.01(a)(i) or 12.01(a)(ii)(A) shall not, other than in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct of such Seller, exceed such Seller’s allocable portion of the Purchase Price.  The indemnification obligation of any Purchaser for Losses arising under Section 12.01(b)(i) shall not, other than in the case of fraud or criminal or willful misconduct of Purchaser, exceed the Purchase Price (determined without regard to Section 12.04).

(e)          No Seller shall have, and no Seller shall exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, reimbursement, subrogation or indemnity against the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with any indemnification obligation to which such Seller may become subject pursuant to this Agreement.  From and after the Closing Date, Sellers hereby irrevocably waive and release the Company and each Subsidiary from any such right of contribution, reimbursement, subrogation or indemnity.

(f)           For purposes of determining the occurrence of a breach of a representation or warranty or the amount of any Losses under this Section 12.01, any materiality qualifiers (including Company Material Adverse Effect), or monetary thresholds to similar effect contained

50

in the applicable representation and warranty shall be deemed to be deleted and shall be given no force or effect.

12.02                                   Method of Asserting Claims.  All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under Section 12.01 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a)                                 In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 12.01 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers or of Purchaser (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been irreparably prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 12.01 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.  The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in such Third Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the indemnifying party is also a party to such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under Section 12.01 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim.  The Indemnifying Party will have fifteen (15) days from receipt of a notice of a Third Party Claim from an Indemnified Party to assume the defense thereof.  The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party reasonably informed of the status of defense.

(b)         Subject to Section 12.02(c), in the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 12.01 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party.  The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby.  If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Indemnity Notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the Loss arising from the claim specified in such Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 12.01 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof.  If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the

51

Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute.

(c)          Notwithstanding anything in Section 12.02(b) to the contrary but without limiting the rights of any Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 12.02(a) with respect to Third Party Claims, the determination of whether any Purchaser Indemnified Party makes any claim or demand for indemnification under Section 12.01(a)(i) that is based on any disclosures set forth in the Seller Certificates shall be vested exclusively in the Committee.  The Committee shall have sole authority to determine whether any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall assert any such indemnification claim and, in making such determination, may be assisted by independent legal and financial advisors of its choosing, the costs of which shall be borne by Purchaser and shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of indemnifiable Losses, if any.

12.03                                   Release. Effective as of the Closing, each Seller, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby releases and discharges the Company and each Subsidiary, and each of Representatives of any of the foregoing, from any and all Liabilities arising in respect of any period ending on or prior to the Closing other than any Liabilities (a) arising under this Agreement or (b) in respect of indemnification rights specified in Section 7.04.

12.04                                   Purchase Price Adjustment.  For federal, state and local Tax purposes, any payments made under this Article XII shall be treated by the Purchaser and Sellers as an adjustment to the Purchase Price except as otherwise required by applicable Law or pursuant to the good faith resolution of a Tax Claim.

ARTICLE XIII
TERMINATION

13.01                                   Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned:

(a)         at any time before the Closing, by mutual written agreement of the Seller Representative on behalf of Sellers and Purchaser;

(b)         at any time before the Closing, by the Seller Representative on behalf of Sellers or Purchaser, in the event (i) of a material breach hereof by the non-terminating party if such non-terminating party fails to cure such breach within twenty (20) Business Days following notification thereof by the terminating party or (ii) upon notification of the non-terminating party by the terminating party that the satisfaction of any condition to the terminating party’s obligations under this Agreement becomes impossible or impracticable with the use of commercially reasonable efforts if the failure of such condition to be satisfied is not caused by a breach hereof by the terminating party;

(c)          at any time before the Closing, by the Seller Representative on behalf of Sellers or by Purchaser, in the event that any Order or Law becomes effective restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, upon notification of the non-terminating party by the terminating party;

52

(d)         at any time after May 31, 2016 (the “Termination Date”) by the Seller Representative or Purchaser upon notification of the non-terminating party by the terminating party if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before such date and such failure to consummate is not caused by a breach of this Agreement by the terminating party; provided, that if all of the conditions to Closing shall have been satisfied, shall be capable of being satisfied at such time or would be capable of being satisfied at such time but for the fact that the conditions set forth in Sections 8.05, 8.07 and 9.05 are not satisfied, the Termination Date may be extended by Purchaser or the Seller Representative from time to time by written notice to the other to a date not later than July 31, 2016; or

(e)          at any time prior to commencement of the “roadshow” to be conducted for purposes of the IPO Transactions, by Purchaser, in the event that (i) any Seller fails to timely deliver a Pre-Roadshow Bring Down Certificate in accordance with Section 13.03, or (ii) any Pre-Roadshow Bring Down Certificate delivered to Purchaser fails to make the Preliminary Confirmations without qualification thereof or exception thereto.

13.02                                   Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 13.01, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void, and there will be no liability or obligation (other than any liabilities or obligations resulting from fraud or criminal or willful misconduct) on the part of Sellers or Purchaser (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or other representatives or Affiliates), except that the provisions with respect to expenses in Section 14.04 and confidentiality in Section 14.05 will continue to apply following any such termination.

14.02                                   Specific Performance.  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 specific terms or were otherwise breached.  Accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each party shall be entitled to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy.  Each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.  Each party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

14.03                                   Entire Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and contains the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

14.04                                   Expenses.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Purchaser shall pay its own costs and expenses and shall pay or reimburse

54

Sellers for the out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and closing of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that Purchaser shall not, directly or indirectly, bear, pay or reimburse any fees and expenses or portion thereof in respect of any premium, bonus, success or similar non-standard and non-hourly-based consideration for legal or accounting services.

14.05                                   Public Announcements.  At all times at or before the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser will not, and Sellers will cause the Company not to, issue or make any reports, statements or releases to the public with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that Purchaser may include a summary description of this Agreement in the prospectus included in the registration statement filed in connection with the IPO Transactions and file a copy of this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.  Subject to the foregoing proviso, if either party is unable to obtain the approval of its public report, statement or release from the other party and such report, statement or release is, in the opinion of legal counsel to such party, required by Law in order to discharge such party’s disclosure obligations, then such party may make or issue the legally required report, statement or release and promptly furnish the other party with a copy thereof.  Sellers and Purchaser will also obtain the other party’s prior approval of any press release to be issued immediately following the Closing announcing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

14.06                                   Confidentiality Each party hereto will hold, and will use its best efforts to cause its Affiliates, and in the case of Purchaser, any Person who has provided, or who is considering providing, financing to Purchaser to finance all or any portion of the Purchase Price or who is providing or considering providing underwriting services in connection with the IPO Transactions, and their respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence from any Person (other than any such Affiliate, Representative, or Person who has provided, or who is considering providing, financing or underwriting services), unless (i) compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process (including without limitation in connection with obtaining the necessary approvals of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby of Governmental or Regulatory Authorities) or by other requirements of Law or (ii) disclosed in an Action or Proceeding brought by a party hereto in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies hereunder, all documents and information concerning the other party or any of its Affiliates furnished to it by the other party or such other party’s Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such documents or information can be shown to have been (a) previously known by the party receiving such documents or information, (b) in the public domain (either prior to or after the furnishing of such documents or information hereunder) through no fault of such receiving party or (c) later acquired by the receiving party from another source if the receiving party is not aware that such source is under an obligation to another party hereto to keep such documents and information confidential; provided that following the Closing the foregoing restrictions will not apply to Purchaser’s use of documents and information concerning the Company and the Subsidiaries furnished by Sellers hereunder.  In the event the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, upon the request of the other party, each party hereto will, and will cause its Affiliates, any Person who has provided, or who is considering providing, financing to such party and their respective Representatives to, promptly (and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after such request) redeliver or cause to be redelivered all copies of documents

55

and information furnished by the other party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and destroy or cause to be destroyed all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses, compilations and other writings related thereto or based thereon prepared by the party furnished such documents and information or its Representatives.

14.07                                   Waiver.  Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition.  No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion.  All remedies, either under this Agreement or by Law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

14.08                                   Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each party hereto; provided, however, that no amendment or other modification may be made to this Agreement that has the effect of waiving or otherwise altering the overall effect of Sections 8.06(b) or 9.06(b) without the prior written approval of the Lender Directors.

14.09                                   No Third-Party Beneficiary.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Article XII, except that the Lender Directors shall be third-party beneficiaries with a right of enforcement only of the conditions set forth in Section 8.06(b) and 9.06(b).

14.10                                   No Assignment; Binding Effect.  Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto and any attempt to do so will be void, except (a) for assignments and transfers by operation of Law and (b) that Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder (including without limitation its rights under Article XI) to (i) a wholly-owned subsidiary, provided that any such subsidiary agrees in writing to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and provisions contained herein, (ii) any post-Closing purchaser of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of the Company or a substantial part of its assets or (iii) any financial institution providing purchase money or other financing to Purchaser or the Company from time to time as collateral security for such financing, but no such assignment referred to in clause (i) or (ii) shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

14.11                                   Headings; Schedules.  The headings used in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof. Each exception to the any representation or warranty disclosed on one section of the Disclosure Schedule shall constitute an exception to all other applicable representations and warranties

56

made in this Agreement requiring disclosure of such exception to the extent that such exception is reasonably apparently from a plain reading of the disclosure contained in such section.

14.12                                   Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable, (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom.

14.13                                   Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to a Contract executed and performed in such State, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.

14.14                                   Disputes.  Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement that cannot be resolved amicably by the parties, including the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, shall be determined by binding arbitration pursuant to Section 349 of the Rules of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware if it is eligible for such arbitration.  If the dispute claim or controversy is not eligible for such arbitration, it shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Rules and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  Any AAA arbitration proceeding shall be conducted in the State of Delaware.  The AAA arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including the issuance of an injunction or other equitable relief.  However, any party may, without inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court having jurisdiction hereof and seek interim provisional, injunctive or other equitable relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.  Except as necessary in court proceedings to enforce this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to obtain interim relief, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTER-CLAIM, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER.

14.15                                   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

14.16                                   Seller Representative.  Each Seller, by the execution of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed, authorized and directed Frank J. Fertitta III, in his capacity as the Seller Representative, to act as such Seller’s agent, representative, proxy and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of effecting the consummation of the

57

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and exercising, on behalf of all Sellers, the rights and powers of Sellers hereunder and thereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller Representative shall have full power and authority, and is hereby directed, for and on behalf of all Sellers, to take such action, and to exercise such rights, power and authority, as are authorized, delegated and granted to the Seller Representative hereunder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and to exercise such rights, power and authority as are incidental thereto, to represent any Seller at and after the Closing, to give or receive any notices required or permitted to be given hereunder and thereunder, to accept service of process on behalf of any Seller, to execute and deliver, or hold in escrow and release, any exhibits or amendments to this Agreement, or any other agreements, certificates, statements, notices, approvals, extensions or waivers relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, to conduct or cease to conduct the defense of all claims against any Seller in connection with this Agreement, and to settle all such claims on behalf of all Sellers.  The appointment and agency created hereby is irrevocable, and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.  The Seller Representative shall serve as such from the date hereof until the earlier of his resignation, death or incapacity or the completion of his obligations hereunder.  In the event that Frank J. Fertitta III is unable or unwilling to continue to serve as the Seller Representative, or otherwise ceases to be Sellers Representative, his successor shall be promptly appointed by Sellers.
