Payments of such Assumed Non-Priority Trade Claims will be made to the holder of the Assumed Non-Priority Trade Claim as of the date the Purchaser is obligated to make the applicable payment as set forth (and Purchaser may conclusively rely) on the claims register in effect on the date of such payment. To the extent that any credit insurer has insured any portion of an Assumed Non-Priority Trade Claim, all of such insurer’s subrogation and contractual rights vis-à-vis the holder of such Assumed Non-Priority Trade Claim shall be preserved (and all payments shall be subject to such subrogation and contractual rights), but in no event shall Purchaser have any obligations with respect to such insurer except to make payment on the Allowed Claim as set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event following the Closing the Purchaser fails to timely pay the holder of such Assumed Non-Priority Trade Claim, which failure to pay is not cured within seven (7) calendar days of Purchaser’s receipt of written (including email) notice of such failure, such holder shall be relieved of its obligation to provide Customary Trade Terms.

2.3 Assignment and Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Sale Order, effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall assume from Sellers and thereafter be responsible for the payment, performance or discharge of the following Liabilities of Sellers (in accordance with their respective terms) to the extent arising under the Acquired Assets and Seller shall irrevocably convey, transfer and assign to Purchaser the following Liabilities (all such Liabilities assumed pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be referred to as the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(a) all Liabilities and obligations of Sellers under the Assumed Contracts, any Previously Omitted Contract designated and assumed by Purchaser as “Assumed” in accordance with Section 2.6(c)(i), or Subsequent Designated Assumed Contract that is assumed by Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.6(d), in each case that arise and become due from and after the Closing;

(b) subject to Section 2.6, all cure costs required to be paid pursuant to the Sale Order and section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code in connection with the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts including the amounts set forth in Schedule 2.3(b) (the “Cure Amounts”), to the extent they have not been paid on or before the Closing Date;

(e) to the extent required by any applicable Law, all environmental Liabilities related to the Acquired Assets that arise after the Closing Date in connection with Purchaser’s ownership or operation of the Acquired Assets, except as set forth in Schedule 2.3(e);

(f) without duplication of the amounts set forth in Schedule 3.1(a), all postpetition accrued, unpaid administrative claims (subject, in the case of any fees or expenses of any professionals retained in these Chapter 11 Cases, to court approval thereof) of the type included in the Approved Budget incurred by the DIP Debtors postpetition in the Ordinary Course of Business and not in contravention of any other terms of the DIP Order (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not include any claim entitled to priority under section 503(b)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code);

(g) the Assumed Trade Creditor Liabilities; and

(h) any intercompany account payable owing between or among any Sellers; provided, that any liability assumed pursuant to this Section 2.3(h) must (i) be equal to an Account Receivable that is an Acquired Asset pursuant to Section 2.1(c), (ii) be a liability of a Seller to a Seller and (iii) have been incurred by a Seller in the Ordinary Course of Business.

2.4 Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Seller acknowledges and agrees that except for the Assumed Liabilities, (a) Purchaser shall not be the successor to any Liability of any Seller or its Affiliates or relating to the Acquired Assets and (b) Purchaser will not assume, be obligated to pay nor in any way be liable or responsible for, any Liability of any Seller or its Affiliates, except pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement (any such excluded obligations and Liabilities, the “Excluded Liabilities”). For the avoidance of doubt, all environmental Liabilities of Sellers related to the Business and the Acquired Assets arising prior to the Closing Date are Excluded Liabilities and shall be retained by Sellers.

2.5 Revisions to Schedules under Sections 2.1 through 2.3(h). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser may revise, by providing written Notice to HoldCos, the Schedules under Sections 2.1 through 2.3(h) at any time on or before the Business

Day prior to the date of the Auction to include in or exclude from the definition of Acquired Assets, Excluded Assets or Assumed Liabilities, as applicable, any asset or property, or any portion, part or parcel of any such asset or property (except executory Contracts and unexpired leases, which shall be governed by Section 2.6) not otherwise included therein, as the case may be, and as a result thereof, Sellers agree to give required Notice to any Third Party that should receive Notice with respect to such asset or property; provided, that such exclusion or inclusion, as the case may be, shall not serve to reduce or otherwise affect the amount of the Purchase Price (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the exclusion or addition of any Assumed Liability resulting from such exclusion or inclusion). For purposes of clarification, nothing in this Section 2.5 shall limit Purchaser’s rights under Section 2.6.

2.6 Assumption and Exclusion of Certain Contracts.

(a) Schedule 2.6(a) sets forth a list of all executory Contracts and unexpired leases to which, to the Knowledge of Sellers, any of Sellers is a party, and which are available to be included in the Assumed Contracts. From and after the Effective Date until 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on the day before the Closing Date, Sellers shall make such additions or deletions to the Assumed Contracts and the Excluded Contracts as Purchaser shall request in writing, in its sole discretion; provided, however, to the extent that the Cure Amount required to be satisfied in order to assume and assign any Assumed Contract is determined after the date hereof to be greater than the amount set forth in Schedule 2.3(b), Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser of such determination and Purchaser shall have until the date that is five (5) Business Days following the date of such determination to determine whether to assume such Assumed Contract or deem it an Excluded Contract by providing notice to Sellers in writing of such determination. All Contracts of Sellers that are not listed in Schedule 2.6(a) shall not be considered an Assumed Contract or Acquired Asset and shall be deemed “Excluded Contracts.”

(b) Sellers shall take all actions required to assume and assign the Assumed Contracts to Purchaser, including timely providing all necessary notices as contemplated by this Agreement and by the Bidding Procedures Order, paying all Cure Amounts incurred in connection with the assignment and assumption of the Assumed Contracts to Purchaser subject to the terms of this Agreement, and using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate any negotiations with the counterparties to such Assumed Contracts and to obtain an Order containing a finding that the proposed assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts to Purchaser satisfies all applicable requirements of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, that, with respect to any Assumed Contract ultimately assumed by Sellers and assigned to Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay such Cure Amounts. Sellers shall have no obligation to Purchaser to provide adequate assurances of future performance under any Assumed Contract in connection with the assignment and assumption thereof by Seller.

(i) During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, if it is discovered that a Contract should have been listed in Schedule 2.6(a) but was not listed in Schedule 2.6(a) (any such Contract, a “Previously Omitted Contract”), Sellers shall, promptly following the discovery thereof (but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the discovery thereof), notify Purchaser in writing of such Previously Omitted Contract. Purchaser shall

thereafter deliver written notice to Sellers, no later than the date that is the later of (A) the Closing Date and (B) thirty (30) calendar days following notice of such Previously Omitted Contract from Seller, designating such Previously Omitted Contract as “Assumed” or “Excluded” (a “Previously Omitted Contract Designation”). A Previously Omitted Contract designated in accordance with this Section 2.6(c)(i) as “Excluded,” or with respect to which Purchaser fails to timely deliver a Previously Omitted Contract Designation, shall be deemed an Excluded Contract.

(ii) If Purchaser designates a Previously Omitted Contract as “Assumed” in accordance with Section 2.6(c)(i), (A) the Schedules to this Agreement, including Schedules 2.1(l), 2.3(b) and 2.6(a), as applicable, shall be amended to include (x) such Previously Omitted Contract as an Assumed Contract and (y) all Cure Amounts and other Assumed Liabilities related to such Previously Omitted Contract and (B) Sellers shall file and serve a Notice (the “Previously Omitted Contract Notice”) on the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract notifying such counterparties of Sellers’ intention to assign and Purchaser’s intention to assume such Previously Omitted Contract in accordance with this Section 2.6, including the proposed Cure Amount (if any). The Previously Omitted Contract Notice shall provide the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract with fourteen (14) calendar days after service of a Previously Omitted Contract Notice to file and serve on the Cure Objection Notice Parties (as defined in the Bidding Procedures Order) an objection to the assumption of its Contract. If the counterparties, HoldCos and Purchaser are unable to reach a consensual resolution with respect to the objection, Sellers will seek an expedited hearing before the Bankruptcy Court to seek approval of the assumption and assignment of such Previously Omitted Contract, which hearing may occur after the Closing with the consent of Purchaser. If no objection is timely served on HoldCos and Purchaser as to a Previously Omitted Contract that Purchaser has elected to have assumed and assigned to Purchaser, and Purchaser has not otherwise provided Sellers with notice of its election to not assume such Previously Omitted Contract, then such Previously Omitted Contract shall be deemed assumed by the applicable Seller and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order; provided, that Purchaser shall pay the post-Closing administrative claims incurred on account of any Previously Omitted Contracts that are assumed and assigned (but solely to the extent such post-Closing administrative claims were incurred prior to the earlier of (A) when such Previously Omitted Contracts are assumed by Purchaser and (B) Purchaser’s election to not assume such Previously Omitted Contract, which election may be made by Purchaser at any time in its sole discretion by written notice to Sellers). Sellers and Purchaser shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such other instruments and take commercially reasonable efforts as are reasonably practicable for Purchaser to assume the rights and obligations under such Previously Omitted Contract, including with respect to payment of the applicable Cure Amount (if any).

(d) During the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, Sellers shall not reject, transfer, terminate, amend or modify any Excluded Contract without providing Purchaser with five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice. Following the Closing, Purchaser may determine at any time to have Sellers assume and assign any Excluded Contract (not previously transferred to a Third Party by Sellers or validly terminated pursuant to its terms) to Purchaser by one or more written notices to Sellers (each such Excluded Contract, a “Subsequent Designated Assumed Contract”). After receipt of such notice, (i) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assume and assign to Purchaser pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code such Subsequent

Designated Assumed Contracts, (ii) Purchaser shall pay (A) the post-Closing administrative claims incurred on account of such Subsequent Designated Assumed Contracts (but solely to the extent such post-Closing administrative claims were incurred prior to the earlier of (x) when such Subsequent Designated Assumed Contracts are assumed by Purchaser and (y) Purchaser’s election to not assume such Subsequent Designated Assumed Contract, which election may be made by Purchaser at any time in its sole discretion by written notice to Sellers) and (B) the Cure Amounts in connection with assignment or assumption of such Subsequent Designated Assumed Contracts, to the extent such Subsequent Designated Assumed Contract is assigned to and assumed by Purchaser and (iii) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any necessary Third Party consent for the assumption and assignment to Purchaser of all Subsequent Designated Assumed Contracts and shall assign such Subsequent Designated Assumed Contracts to Purchaser. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements and covenants in this Section 2.6(d) shall survive the Closing. On the date that any Subsequent Designated Assumed Contract is assumed and assigned to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.6(d), such Subsequent Designated Assumed Contract shall thereafter be deemed an Assumed Contract for all purposes under this Agreement.

2.7 Deemed Consents and Cures. For all purposes of this Agreement (including all representations and warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement), Sellers shall be deemed to have obtained all required consents in respect of the assignment of any Assumed Contract (and any Excluded Contract ultimately becoming an Assumed Contract) if, and to the extent that, pursuant to the Sale Order or other Order of the Bankruptcy Court, Sellers are authorized to assume and assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser is authorized to accept, such Assumed Contracts pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, and any applicable Cure Amount has been satisfied by Purchaser or Sellers as provided in this Agreement. If the consent required to effectuate the assignment of any Assumed Contracts to Purchaser cannot be obtained pursuant to the Sale Order or other Order of the Bankruptcy Court, then the Parties shall endeavor to obtain such consent pursuant to Sections 6.2 and 6.10.

2.8 Acquired Assets Sold “As Is, Where Is”. Except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement (including Article IV), Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Sellers make no representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to any matter relating to the Acquired Assets including income to be derived or expenses to be incurred in connection with the Acquired Assets, the physical condition of any personal property or inventory comprising a part of the Acquired Assets or which is the subject of any other lease or Contract to be assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, the environmental condition or other matter relating to the physical condition of any real property or improvements which are the subject of any real property lease to be assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, the zoning of any such real property or improvements, the value of the Acquired Assets (or any portion thereof), the transferability of the Acquired Assets (including any rights reserved to or vested in any Governmental Authority to control or regulate the Acquired Assets and all obligations and duties under all Laws or under any Permit issued by any Governmental Authority), or the terms, amount, validity or enforceability of any Assumed Liabilities. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, except as explicitly set forth in this Agreement (including Article IV), Sellers hereby disclaim any warranty, express or implied, of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose as to any portion of the Acquired Assets. Purchaser further acknowledges that

Purchaser has conducted an independent inspection and investigation of the physical condition of the Acquired Assets and all such other matters relating to or affecting the Acquired Assets as Purchaser deemed necessary or appropriate and that in proceeding with its acquisition of the Acquired Assets, except for any representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement (including Article IV), Purchaser is doing so based solely upon such independent inspections and investigations. Accordingly, Purchaser will accept the Acquired Assets at the closing “as is,” “where is,” and “with all faults.”

ARTICLE III

CLOSING

3.1 Purchase Price.

(a) In consideration of the sale of the Acquired Assets to Purchaser, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Sellers set forth in this Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Acquired Assets shall consist of: (i) Purchaser’s assumption (or assumption by one or more Purchaser Designee(s)) of the Assumed Liabilities; (ii) a cash payment (the “Closing Date Payment”) equal to the sum of (A) an amount equal to, and used to pay and discharge, the DIP ABL Obligations (as defined in the DIP Order), plus (B) an amount equal to, and used to pay and discharge, (x) the New Money DIP Notes Obligations (the proceeds of which may be borrowed concurrently with the Closing in accordance with the Final DIP Order) and (y) the administrative claims set forth in Schedule 3.1(a), plus (C) an amount equal to, and used to pay and discharge, the aggregate Cure Amounts for the Assumed Contracts as of the opening of business on the date of the Auction, plus (D) without duplication, an amount equal to, and used to pay and discharge, the administrative claims set forth in Schedule 3.1(a) (to the extent not borrowed and paid from proceeds of the New Money DIP Notes Obligations); and (iii) the Credit Bid in an amount equal to $[●] as of the Effective Date (the “Credit Bid Amount”), which Credit Bid Amount shall be comprised of (until such amount is satisfied) first, all Roll-Up Notes Obligations, and second, all Pre-Petition Secured Notes Obligations, in each case, on a ratable basis for each applicable holder of Credit Bid Indebtedness to the extent the Credit Bid Amount includes a portion but not all of New Money DIP Notes Obligations, Roll-Up Notes Obligations or Pre-Petition Secured Notes Obligations, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, at any time, and from time to time, during the Auction, Purchaser may increase the Credit Bid Amount up to the full amount of the Credit Bid Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may elect (i) with the consent of the DIP ABL Agent and the DIP ABL Lenders (each as defined in the DIP Order and to the extent required under the DIP ABL Loan Documents (as defined in the DIP Order)), to assume the DIP ABL Obligations and/or (ii) with the consent of the agent and holders of New Money DIP Notes, to assume the New Money DIP Notes Obligations, in the case of either of the foregoing, (A) such obligations shall become Assumed Liabilities, (B) the Closing Date Payment shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar in the amount of the DIP ABL Obligations and/or New Money DIP Notes Obligations and (C) such assumed DIP ABL Obligations and/or New Money DIP Notes Obligations shall be treated as the equivalent of payment of such DIP ABL Obligations and/or New Money DIP Notes Obligations in cash. To the extent any amounts are borrowed or paid to Sellers for payment of the administrative claims set forth in Schedule 3.1(a) and such amounts are not used for such purpose at Closing or immediately following the Closing Date, such amounts shall be

returned to Purchaser promptly, and in no event later than three (3) Business Days following the Closing Date.

(b) In accordance with Section 3.1(a), Purchaser shall satisfy the Purchase Price at the Closing as to the Credit Bid Amount by discharging the applicable portion of the Credit Bid Indebtedness constituting the Credit Bid Amount, and such portion of the Credit Bid Indebtedness shall be deemed to be discharged, (for the avoidance of doubt, any Credit Bid Indebtedness not constituting part of the Credit Bid Amount shall remain outstanding and shall not be deemed discharged, and any Lien and security interest on any Excluded Asset securing any such non-discharged Credit Bid Indebtedness shall not be released and will continue to secure such non-discharged Credit Bid Indebtedness).

(c) At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Closing Date Payment to Sellers or, at Purchaser’s election, to such other Person(s) as may be entitled to payment therefrom (for the satisfaction and discharge of the DIP ABL Obligations, the New Money DIP Notes Obligations and the Cure Amounts). The Closing Date Payment and any payment required to be made pursuant to any other provision hereof shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the applicable Party at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date such payment is to be made.

(d) The portion of the Purchase Price comprised of the Credit Bid Amount shall constitute consideration for all Acquired Assets as to which the Notes Collateral Trustee has a perfected, valid and enforceable security interest (subject to any applicable Permitted Liens and, in the case of the DIP Collateral (as defined in the DIP Order) to satisfaction of the New Money DIP Notes Obligations and the DIP ABL Obligations) (the “Credit Bid Purchased Assets”); provided, however, that to the extent that there are any Acquired Assets that are subject to such a perfected, valid and enforceable security interest in favor of a portion but not all of the Credit Bid Indebtedness constituting the Credit Bid Amount, then the Credit Bid Indebtedness constituting the Credit Bid Amount shall be allocated to the applicable Acquired Assets so as to maximize the Acquired Assets that constitute Credit Bid Purchased Assets. Purchaser is entitled pursuant to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code to credit bid the full amount of the Credit Bid Indebtedness. In addition, the portion of the Purchase Price comprised of the Assumed Liabilities and the Closing Date Payment shall constitute consideration for all remaining Acquired Assets that are not Credit Bid Purchased Assets.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Acquired Assets such amounts as Purchaser or any of its Affiliates are required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any provision of state, local, county or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment; provided, however, that the applicable payor shall provide Sellers with a written Notice of such payor’s intention to withhold at least five (5) Business Days prior to such withholding, indicating (i) the amount to be withheld or deducted with respect to each Person from which any amount is to be withheld or deducted and (ii) the relevant provisions of the Code (or other applicable Law) requiring such withholding or deduction, and prior to any such withholding, both the applicable payor and applicable payee shall use reasonable best efforts to minimize any such Taxes. To the

extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Acquired Assets in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

3.2 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions contained in this Agreement, the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of Morrison & Foerster LLP, 250 W. 55th St., New York, NY 10019 at 10:00 a.m. prevailing Eastern Time or remotely upon the electronic exchange of signatures as soon as practicable after the date on which the conditions set forth in Article VII have been satisfied or waived but no later than three (3) days thereafter; or on such other date or place as Purchaser and Sellers may determine (the “Closing Date”).

3.3 Deliveries by Sellers. At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver or procure delivery to Purchaser of:

(a) one or more certificates, free and clear of all Liens, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by stock powers or similar instruments of transfer, representing all Acquired Equity Securities held by any Seller, in the form to be mutually agreed by the Parties in good faith prior to the Closing Date, duly executed by the applicable Sellers;

(h) one or more assignment and assumption agreements in customary form satisfactory to Purchaser with respect to each of the Assumed Facility Leases, duly executed by the applicable Sellers (collectively, the “Lease Assignments”);

(i) one or more assignments of the Acquired Intellectual Property, in the form to be mutually agreed by the Parties in good faith prior to the Closing Date and which shall be in a form acceptable for recordation in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office and any other similar domestic or foreign office, department or agency, each duly executed by the applicable Sellers (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Assignments”);

(j) a copy of the Sale Order entered with the Bankruptcy Court;

ARTICLE IX

POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

9.1 Employees.

(a) Effective upon the Closing, all of Sellers’ employees actively employed or engaged principally in Sellers’ Business (the “Business Employees”), except those employees who voluntarily terminate their employment or are excluded by Purchaser from continuing their employment as set forth in Schedule 9.1(a) (the “Excluded Employees”), shall continue their employment as employees of Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9.1 (the “Continuing Employees”). Prior to five (5) Business Days before the Closing, Purchaser shall provide to HoldCos an updated and finalized Schedule 9.1(a) or confirm to HoldCos that the original Schedule 9.1(a) is final, as applicable, based on which Sellers shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate and coordinate with Purchaser to have the Excluded Employees terminated (but contingent on the occurrence of the Closing) on or prior to the Closing Date. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right to any term or condition of employment or to continuance of employment by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) interfere with the right of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee, including any Continuing Employee, at any time, with or without notice and for any or no reason or (ii) restrict Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in modifying any of the terms or conditions of employment of any employee, including any Continuing Employee after the Closing. From and after the Closing and continuing through December 31, 2018, Purchaser intends to make available to the Continuing Employees employee benefits that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the employee benefits available to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to Closing; provided, however, nothing contained this Section 9.1 shall require that Purchaser establish or maintain any specific employee benefit plan.

(b) As of the Closing, Purchaser shall (i) continue to recognize the labor organizations set forth in Schedule 4.14(i) as the collective bargaining agents for the Continuing Employees and (ii) assume the Collective Bargaining Agreements set forth in Schedule 4.14(i).

(c) Nothing contained in Sections 9.1(a), 9.2, 9.3 or 9.5 or in any other provision of this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Business Employee or Continuing Employee any right to continued employment for any period or continued receipt of any specific benefit or compensation, or shall constitute an establishment of or amendment to or any other modification of any Employee Benefit Plan. Sections 9.1(a), 9.2, 9.3 and 9.5 shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in those Sections, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any other Person (including any Business Employee or Continuing Employee) any rights or remedies of any nature (including third-party beneficiary rights under this Agreement) whatsoever under or by reason of this Article IX.

9.2 Employee Benefit Plans. Except for the sponsorship of Assumed Employee Benefit Plans, Purchaser shall not assume any Employee Benefit Plan or any Liability thereunder or related thereto and Purchaser shall provide only those benefits to Continuing Employees as of or after the Closing as Purchaser shall determine. In addition, Purchaser shall assume all responsibility for, and honor, paying any unpaid base wages and base salaries, accrued commissions, vacation, sick leave, personal time of the Continuing Employees but only to the extent not paid as of the Closing Date and set forth in the Financial Statements (the “Unpaid Compensation”). Except for obligations relating solely to the Assumed Employee Benefit Plans specifically assumed under Section 2.3(c) and the Unpaid Compensation, and as set forth in Section 9.3, Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against all obligations, claims or Liabilities at any time arising under or in connection with any Employee Benefit Plan. Except as set forth in Section 9.3, nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied: (i) shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement; (ii) shall alter or limit the ability of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; or (iii) is intended to confer upon any Person (including employees, retirees, or dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any rights as a Third Party beneficiary of this Agreement. Sellers and Purchaser agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the transfer of sponsorship of any Assumed Employee Benefit Plans (including any Contracts thereto) from Sellers to Purchaser, effective as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any waiting period, pre-existing condition or requirement for evidence of insurability otherwise imposed with respect to all Continuing Employees under any employee benefit plan that is a welfare plan under which any such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate during the plan year in which the Closing occurs, to the same extent such waiting period, pre-existing condition or requirement for evidence of insurability requirements were met under the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give credit to such Continuing Employees and his or her covered dependents for all deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket expense limitations incurred under any new employee benefit plan that is a welfare plan under which any such Continuing Employee is eligible to participate in during the plan year in which the Closing occurs, to the same extent recognized under the corresponding Employee Benefit Plan as of the

Closing Date and to the extent that such Continuing Employee can provide documentation of such expenses.

9.3 COBRA Coverage. Purchaser shall be responsible for perpetuating the group health plan continuation coverages pursuant to Code section 4980B and ERISA sections 601 through 609 for all current and former Business Employees and their spouses and dependents, regardless of termination date. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Sellers harmless for any Liability to Sellers incur at any time after the Closing Date under the provisions of Code section 4980B or ERISA sections 601 through 609 with respect to all current and former Business Employees and their dependents or spouses.

9.4 WARN Act. If Sellers provide Purchaser with a true and accurate list or each employee of the Target Entities who was terminated for any reason in the ninety (90) days preceding the Closing, by name, date, location, whether voluntary or involuntary, and reason for such termination, Purchaser will indemnify and hold Sellers harmless from any Liability after the Effective Date under the WARN Act due, in whole or in part, to Purchaser’s actions or omissions occurring after the Effective Date, including any Liability under the WARN Act with respect to any Excluded Employees who have been excluded by Purchaser from continuing their employment.

9.5 Payroll Reporting and Withholding. Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that for FICA and FUTA purposes, Purchaser qualifies as a successor employer with respect to any Continuing Employees. Sellers and Purchaser shall adopt the “alternative procedure” for preparing and filing IRS Forms W-2 (Wage and Tax Statements), as described in Revenue Procedure 2004-53. Under this procedure, Purchaser, as successor employer, shall provide, as applicable, all required Forms W-2 to all Continuing Employees who are subject to U.S. income taxation reflecting all wages paid and Taxes withheld by Sellers as the predecessor and Purchaser as the successor employer for the entire year in which the Closing shall take place. In addition, Sellers and Purchaser shall adopt the “alternative procedure” of Revenue Procedure 2004-53 for purposes of filing IRS Forms W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate) and W-5 (Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate). Sellers shall provide to Purchaser all information reasonably requested by Purchaser in order to comply with Purchaser’s obligations set forth in this Section 9.5.

9.6 Name Changes. No later than ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall take all necessary action to change (a) their names and the names of all Affiliates of Sellers to a name that does not include (i) the words “Real Alloy”, (ii) any other name or mark included in the Acquired Intellectual Property or (iii) any name or mark confusingly similar thereto (collectively, the “Restricted Names”) and (b) the cation of each of the Chapter 11 Cases to captions that do not include any Restricted Names. Sellers shall seek to obtain all required authority for such name and caption change(s) in the Sale Order. Sellers shall promptly notify Purchaser of such name change(s) and the new name(s) chosen by Sellers and all Affiliates of Sellers, as applicable. Furthermore, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but not later than one hundred eighty (180) days following such date, without limiting Purchaser’s rights in the Acquired Intellectual Property, Sellers and all Affiliates of Sellers shall cease all use of any Restricted Names, including by removing all Restricted Names from all letterhead, stationery, signage and tangible assets included in the Excluded Assets.

9.7 Taxes.

(a) Any sales, use, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset, stamp, documentary stamp, registration, use or other Taxes and recording charges, and all conveyance fees and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) due and which may be payable by reason of the sale of the Acquired Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and not exempted under the Sale Order or by section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be borne by Purchaser and timely paid.

(b) Any Tax allocation, Tax sharing or Tax indemnity agreement or arrangement, whether or not written, that may have been entered into by Sellers or any of their Affiliates other than the Acquired Subsidiaries (other than Beck Aluminum) on the one hand, and the Acquired Subsidiaries (other than Beck Aluminum), on the other hand, shall be terminated as to the Acquired Subsidiaries (other than Beck Aluminum) as of the Closing Date, and no payments which are owed by or to the Acquired Subsidiaries (other than Beck Aluminum) pursuant thereto shall be made thereunder. After the Closing Date, neither the Acquired Subsidiaries (other than Beck Aluminum), on the one hand, nor Sellers and their Affiliates other than the Acquired Subsidiaries (other than Beck Aluminum), on the other hand, shall have any further rights or Liabilities thereunder with respect to the other party or parties.

(c) Purchaser and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect 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 audit, litigation or other Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 9.7(c) shall be borne by the Party who is subject to such Proceeding.

(d) Sellers shall not, and shall cause the other Target Entities not to, make any election under section 965(n) of the Code for any taxable year.

(e) Personal property Taxes, real property Taxes and other similar Taxes (the “Proration Items”) with respect to the Acquired Assets for any Straddle Period shall be prorated on a per diem basis between Purchaser and Sellers as of the Closing Date. The amount of the Proration Items attributable to Sellers shall be equal to the amount of Tax for the period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of the period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which shall be the entire number of days in the period. The amount of all such Proration Items attributable to Sellers shall be estimated as of the Closing Date and paid over to Purchaser at the Closing; provided, however, that final payments with respect to the Proration Items that are not able to be calculated as of the Closing Date shall be calculated and Sellers shall pay over any additional amount as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, but no later than five (5) Business Days after determination of such additional amounts.

9.8 Purchaser Cooperation Regarding Adequate Assurance Information. Purchaser shall provide information Purchaser reasonably believes appropriate to satisfy the conditions contained in sections 365(b)(1)(C) and 365(f)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code for responses (if any) to any inquiries from any counterparty to any Assumed Contract regarding adequate assurance of future performance, with copy to counsel of Sellers, as soon as reasonably practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall have no obligation under this Agreement to provide monetary or other consideration as adequate assurance of future performance for any Assumed Contract.

9.9 Post-Closing Cure Amounts. Subject to Section 2.6, from time to time after the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, any outstanding Cure Amounts to Sellers or, at Purchaser’s election, to such other Person(s) as may be entitled to payment for the satisfaction and discharge of such Cure Amounts for the Assumed Contracts.

9.10 Transition Services; Reverse Termination Services. Following the Closing Date, (a) Purchaser may request that any Seller or its Affiliate(s) provide transition services on customary terms and duration mutually agreed upon among the Parties and (b) any Seller(s) may request that Purchaser or its Affiliate(s) provide reverse transition services on customary terms and duration mutually agreed upon among the Parties.

9.11 Post-Closing Cooperation. Prior to, on and after the Closing Date, and until the earlier of (a) such time as the Allowed Amounts of all Assumed Trade Creditor Liabilities are finally determined or (b) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases, Purchaser and Sellers, without further consideration, shall (i) provide reasonable access during normal business hours to the other Party to Books and Records to the extent reasonably necessary to facilitate the determination of the Allowed Amounts of all Assumed Trade Creditor Liabilities and (ii) cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner in connection to facilitate the determination of the Allowed Amounts of Assumed Trade Creditor Liabilities, provided, that the obligations under this Section 9.11 shall not unreasonably interfere with the business operations of Purchaser or the Target Entities.

The Parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such Proceeding arising out of relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any Proceeding relating thereto except in the Chosen Courts, other than Proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any Chosen Court, and no Party will file a motion to dismiss any Proceeding filed in a Chosen Court on any jurisdictional or venue-related grounds, including the doctrine of forum non-conveniens. The Parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in any of the Chosen Courts, and hereby irrevocably waive any objection that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of such Proceeding. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any litigation, Proceeding, cross‑claim, or counterclaim in any court (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of, relating to or in connection with (i) this Agreement or the validity, performance, interpretation, collection or enforcement hereof or (ii) the actions of the Parties in the negotiation, authorization, execution, delivery, administration, performance or enforcement hereof. Each of the Parties further irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.5. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

10.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable Delaware principles of conflicts of Law) as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

10.10 Binding Nature; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, but neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties without prior written consent of the other Parties (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); except that: (a) Purchaser may assign any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any Affiliate or Subsidiary of Purchaser (whether wholly owned or otherwise) (a “Purchaser Designee”) or to its lender as collateral security and, following the Closing, in whole or in part to any successor-in-interest to any Person acquiring all or any portion of the Business or the Acquired Assets; (b) the rights and interests of Sellers hereunder may be assigned to a trustee appointed under chapter 11 or chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (c) this Agreement may be assigned to any entity appointed as a successor to any Seller pursuant to a confirmed chapter 11 plan; and (d) as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Sellers hereby agree that Purchaser may grant a security interest in its rights and interests hereunder to its lenders, and Sellers will sign a consent with respect thereto if so requested by Purchaser or its lender, and that the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon any subsequent trustee appointed under chapter 11 or chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent that Purchaser assigns any of its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Purchaser Designees, upon the transfer of any Acquired Asset or Assumed Contract to, or the assumption of any Assumed Liability by, a Purchaser Designee, such Purchaser Designee shall be solely responsible for such Acquired Asset, Assumed Liability, or Assumed Contract (including performance thereunder), as

applicable; provided, however, assignment of this Agreement, or any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder by Purchaser to any Person shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations under Section 3.1 and the Assumed Trade Creditor Liabilities shall constitute joint and several obligations of Purchaser and any Purchaser Designee that holds a material portion of Sellers’ operating assets.

10.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties and nothing contained in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person except the Parties or their successors and permitted assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, claims, or causes of action under or by reason of this Agreement. No Party shall have any right to specific performance hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) any holder of an Assumed Trade Creditor Liability shall have standing to enforce Purchaser’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Assumed Trade Creditor Liability; (b) any Person released from Released Causes of Action shall have standing to enforce the release of the Released Causes of Action against such Person set forth in Section 6.12 hereof and (c) prior to dissolution of the Committee, the Committee shall have standing to enforce the rights of the Committee and holders of Assumed Trade Creditor Liabilities as provided in Sections 2.3(g) and 6.12 through 6.15.

10.12 Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Party. Any reference to any federal, state, local or foreign statute or Law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and Laws promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. Whenever a Party’s consent, approval or satisfaction is required under this Agreement, the decision as to whether or not to consent or approve or be satisfied shall be in the sole and exclusive discretion of such Party, and such Party’s decision shall be final and conclusive.

10.13 Entire Understanding. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and this Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof and is not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder (except as set forth in Section 10.11).

10.14 Time Periods. Unless specified otherwise, any action required hereunder to be taken within a certain number of days shall be taken within that number of calendar days (and not Business Days); provided, however, that if the last day for taking such action falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the period during which such action may be taken shall be automatically extended to the next Business Day.

10.15 No Right of Set-Off. Except as set forth in Section 2.6, Purchaser for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their successors and permitted assigns, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment or similar rights that Purchaser or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their successors and permitted assigns has or may have with respect to the payment of the Purchase Price or any other payments to be made by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered by Purchaser in connection herewith on or prior to the Closing Date. Each Seller, for

itself and for and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their successors and permitted assigns hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment or similar rights that Sellers or any of their Affiliates, successors and assigns have or may have with respect to any payments to be made by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered by Sellers in connection herewith on or prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser and Sellers may agree to net amounts owing between under this Agreement them in connection with the Closing.

10.16 Publicity. Sellers shall not, or permit any other Target Entities to, issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the reasonable judgment of Purchaser, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement.

10.17 Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties intend that pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of the Acquired Assets shall be free and clear of any security interests in the Acquired Assets, including any liens or claims arising out of the bulk transfer laws, and the Parties shall take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to so provide in the Sale Order. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives compliance by the Parties with the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfers” or similar Laws and all other similar Laws in all applicable jurisdictions in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.18 Milestones. By entering into this Agreement as of the Effective Date, the Required DIP Noteholders waive any milestone events of default under the Final DIP Order and the Bidding Procedures Order relating to Sellers’ selection of this Agreement as the stalking horse purchase agreement.
