2.5 Non-Assignable Assets.

(a) If any of the Purchased Contracts or other Purchased Assets are not assignable or transferable in connection with the Transactions (each, a “Non-Assignable Asset”) without the Consent of, or waiver by, a third party, (each, an “Assignment Consent”), either as a result of the provisions thereof or applicable Laws, and any of such Assignment Consents are not obtained by the Sellers on or prior to the Closing, this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer of such Non-Assignable Assets, and the Purchaser shall not assume the Sellers’ rights or obligations under such Non-Assignable Asset (and such Non-Assignable Asset shall not be included in the Purchased Assets until such Assignment Consent is obtained) until such time as the applicable Assignment Consent of, or waiver by, the applicable third party is obtained; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or affect any of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article 5 of the other covenants and agreements of the Sellers hereunder.

(b) In any such case, without limiting Section 8.13, each of the Company and the Purchaser shall, and the Company shall cause the other Sellers to, use reasonable best efforts to obtain, as soon as practicable, such Assignment Consent. Each of the Company and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, prior to any Seller or Purchaser seeking any such Assignment Consent, the Company shall consult with the Purchaser or Purchaser shall consult with the Company, as applicable, with respect to any proposed written notice and/or consent request and generally develop with each other a mutually agreeable communications plan regarding the procurement of such Assignment Consents and that all communications (written or oral) with third parties in connection with the procurement of such Assignment Consents shall be consistent with the foregoing. Upon receipt of any such Assignment Consent, the applicable Sellers shall promptly sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver such Purchased Asset to the Purchaser for no additional consideration.

(c) Until such Assignment Consents shall have been obtained, each of the Company and Purchaser shall, and the Company shall cause the other Sellers to, use reasonable best efforts to effect a mutually-agreeable alternate arrangement, in the form of a subcontract, sublease, or other arrangement, which results in the Purchaser receiving the benefits of, performing the obligations under, and bearing the costs, Liabilities and other obligations with respect to, each Non-Assignable Asset to the extent permitted by applicable Law. In connection therewith, (i) the Company shall, and shall cause the other Sellers to, promptly remit to the Purchaser when received all monies received by Sellers or any of its Affiliates in respect of any such Non-Assignable Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom and (ii) (A) the Purchaser shall bear, and indemnify the Sellers for, all the costs (including Tax costs), Liabilities, burdens and other Liabilities incurred with respect to any such Non-Assignable Asset to the extent that Purchaser receives the corresponding benefits of or with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset and (B) the Purchaser shall promptly reimburse the Company and/or the Sellers for any such costs (including Tax costs), Liabilities and other obligations in respect of any such Non-Assignable Asset. Without limiting the foregoing, if a Purchased Contract (or rights thereunder) cannot be assigned to Purchaser, then, upon Purchaser’s reasonable request and at Purchaser’s direction and expense, the Company shall, and shall cause the other Sellers to, enforce such agreements, covenants and obligations for the benefit of Purchasers to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws until such time as the applicable Purchased Contract can be assigned to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 2.5 shall require Sellers or their respective Representatives to take any action that would constitute a breach or other contravention of the rights of any Person(s), be ineffective under, or contravene, applicable Law or any Non-Assignable Asset or Purchased Contract that cannot be assigned to Purchaser.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including this Section 2.5), none Purchaser, Parent, the Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any obligation to make any payments or other concession or incur any Liability, or commence or participate in any Action, to obtain any Consents of, or waivers by, third parties or effect the arrangements contemplated by this Section 2.5.

(e) For income Tax purposes, the Parties shall treat any transfer set forth in this Section 2.5 as having occurred at the Closing, except to the extent otherwise required by Law.

2.6 Performance. The Company shall cause the other Sellers to comply with their obligations set forth in this Article 2.

(b) Following the Transition End Date, Parent shall, or shall cause one of its Subsidiaries to, cause each employee benefit or compensation plan or program sponsored or maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries in which a Continuing Employees is eligible to participate following the Transition End Date to recognize the service of such Continuing Employee with the Company or a Company Subsidiary (and any predecessor thereto) prior to the Transition End Date for purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of benefits (other than for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plans or retiree health or welfare plans or rights to participate in any frozen plan) under such plans or programs, except to the extent that such recognition of service would operate to duplicate any benefits of a Continuing Employee with respect to the same period of service. With respect to any Employee Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries in which a Continuing Employee is eligible to participate following the Transition End Date, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause any preexisting condition limitations or eligibility waiting periods under such plan to be waived with respect to such Continuing Employee to the extent that such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the Employee Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) credit each Continuing Employee for any co-payments or deductibles incurred by such Continuing Employee in such plan year for purposes of any applicable deductible and annual out-of-pocket expense requirements under any such Employee Benefit Plan. Such credited expenses shall also count toward any annual or lifetime limits, treatment or visit limits or similar limitations that apply under the terms of the applicable plan.

(c) As soon as practicable following the Transition End Date, each Continuing Employee shall be eligible to effect a “direct rollover” (as described in Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) of his or her account balances (in cash, including participant loans) under the Company 401(k) Plan to the Parent 401(k) Plan in the form of cash and participant loan notes. For the avoidance of doubt, the contribution of any such eligible rollover distributions must be at the request of the Continuing Employee and shall not be automatic.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Continuing Employees who are covered by a Collective Bargaining Agreement or who are subject to Laws outside of the United States, Parent shall provide compensation and benefits at least as favorable as those required by any obligations under the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement or under the Laws of the countries and political subdivisions thereof under which such Continuing Employee is subject.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any employee or other service provider any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Affiliate of Parent. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Employee Benefit Plan maintained or sponsored by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any Employee Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefit or employment plan, program, agreement or arrangement. Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee or other service provider (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

8.5 Taxes.

(a) The Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay any and all Transfer Taxes when due, and shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes; provided, however, that, if required by Law, the Sellers will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.

(b) The Sellers shall prepare and file all Tax Returns relating to Seller Taxes in a manner consistent with past practice (except as otherwise required by Law), and the Sellers shall pay all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. In addition, each Seller shall, at the cost and expense of the Purchaser, prepare and timely file all Tax Returns (in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Law) required to be filed with respect to such Seller that reflect Taxes other than Seller Taxes (each such Tax Return, a “Purchaser Reviewed Return”). With respect to any Purchaser Reviewed Return, such Seller shall submit such Purchaser Reviewed Return to the Purchaser for the Purchaser’s review and comment as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no event less than ten (10) Business Days, prior to the due date for filing such Purchaser Reviewed Return (including any applicable extension), and such Seller shall incorporate the Purchaser’s reasonable comments thereto, and the Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of, and timely pay, any Taxes set forth on such Tax Returns. If any Tax Authority shall notify any Seller of any audit, contest, claim, proceeding or inquiry with respect to any Purchaser Reviewed Return, such Seller shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing and shall provide the Purchaser with copies of any notices and other documents received from any Tax Authority in respect thereof. The Purchaser shall control the conduct of any audit, contest, claim, proceeding or inquiry with respect to any Purchaser Reviewed Return and shall be responsible for all costs (including Taxes) resulting therefrom.

(c) The Purchaser shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns with respect to the Business and the Purchased Assets for all Straddle Periods and for all taxable periods beginning after the date hereof, and shall pay all Taxes reflected on such Tax Returns. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall timely pay all income Taxes imposed on the Sellers as a result of the Transactions.

(d) The Company shall not make any election, or take or permit to be taken any other action, the result of which is any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Estrella Media ceasing to be disregarded as an entity separate from Estrella Media within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3.

8.6 Insurance Matters.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Company Insurance Policies are part of the corporate insurance program maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, and that such policies will not be transferred to the Purchaser. From and after the date hereof, except as set forth in Section 2.1(a), the Company shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the Company Insurance Policies, including the right to any credit or return premiums due, paid or payable in connection with the termination thereof.

(b) With respect to any events or circumstances pertaining to the Business that relate to the period prior to the date hereof and are eligible for coverage under any occurrence-based Company Insurance Policy in effect as of the date hereof (such events or circumstances, a “Pre-Closing Insurance Matter”), until claims can no longer be made under such Company Insurance Policies pursuant to their terms, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Purchaser with access to such Company Insurance Policies and shall reasonably cooperate with the Purchaser, and take commercially reasonable actions to assist the Purchaser in submitting claims with respect to such Pre-Closing Insurance Matter (including with respect to any collateral requirements under any Company Insurance Policy with respect to a Pre-Closing Insurance Matter). Until the earlier of (A) the date that is eighteen months after the date hereof, and (B) the Option Closing, if requested by Purchaser, the Company will, at the Purchaser’s sole cost and expense (which shall include all insurance renewal costs, including insurance premiums), renew on substantially similar terms all claims made and discovery-based Company Insurance Policies that are in effect at the Effective Time that would provide coverage for the Business for events or circumstances pertaining to the Business that relate to the period prior to the Closing and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser with access to such policies. The Purchaser and its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for (i) any deductibles, premiums, co-payments, similar cost-sharing payments or self-insured retentions with respect to such Pre-Closing Insurance Matter and (ii) any out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) with respect to such Pre-Closing Insurance Matter that are not covered under the relevant Company Insurance Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have, and the Purchaser shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to seek, any rights to cause the Company or any Company Subsidiaries to pay any deductible or self-insured retention amount with respect to any claim. The Purchaser shall notify the Company promptly of any such Pre-Closing Insurance Matter for which it seeks coverage on behalf of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities and each party shall keep the other fully informed regarding the status of the Pre-Closing Insurance Matter. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for the Purchased Assets.

8.7 Post-Closing Cooperation; Privilege.

(a) Subject to Section 8.7(b), for a period of seven (7) years after the Closing, upon reasonable notice, the Purchaser and the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other and their employees, counsel, auditors and other Representatives reasonable access (including the ability to make copies), during normal business hours, to such employees, counsel, auditors and other Representatives, books and records within the control of such party or any of its Affiliates as is reasonably necessary for (i) financial reporting, Tax matters, accounting matters and reporting obligations promulgated by any Governmental Authority or stock exchange, and (ii) defense or prosecution of litigation and disputes with third parties; provided, that, subject to Section 8.7(b), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Purchaser nor the Company shall be required to provide access to or disclose information to the other party or any of their respective Representatives where (A) upon the advice of counsel, such access or disclosure would reasonably be expected to jeopardize any Privilege (as defined in Section 8.7(b) below), (B) upon the advice of counsel, such disclosure would reasonably be expected to contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or binding agreement; provided that such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such information in a manner that does not violate such applicable Law, duty or agreement; or (C) the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, Company Aggregator or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties in an Action and such access or information is reasonably pertinent thereto.

(b) The Parties agree that their respective rights and obligations to maintain, preserve, assert or waive any attorney-client, work product or similar privileges belonging to any Party with respect to the Businesses, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities, the Excluded Assets, or the Excluded Liabilities (collectively, “Privileges”), shall be governed by the provisions of this Section 8.7(b). With respect to (i) Seller Taxes, and (ii) business records of the Sellers or any of their Affiliates prepared in connection with any Transaction Document or the Transactions (the foregoing clauses (i) - (iii), collectively, the “Specified Matters and Information”), the Sellers shall, subject to Section 8.7(a), have sole authority to determine whether to assert or waive any Privileges, including the right to assert any Privilege against the Purchaser and its Affiliates. After the date hereof, the Purchaser shall have sole authority to determine whether to assert or waive any Privileges with respect to matters relating to the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities except for the Specified Matters and Information. The rights and obligations created by this Section 8.7(b) shall apply to all Specified Matters and Information as to which Sellers or their Affiliates would be entitled to assert or has asserted a Privilege without regard to the effect, if any, of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Privileged Information”). Upon receipt by the Sellers or their Affiliates, or the Purchaser and its Affiliates, as the case may be, of any subpoena, discovery or other request from any Person that actually calls for the production or disclosure of Privileged Information of the other Party, the Sellers or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it may have under this Section 8.7(b) or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of Privileged Information. The access to books and records and other information being granted pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall not be asserted by the Sellers or the Purchaser or their respective Affiliates to constitute, or otherwise deemed, a waiver of any Privilege that has been or may be asserted under this Section 8.7(b) or otherwise.

(c) Each party shall reimburse the other for reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in assisting the other pursuant to this Section 8.7. Neither party shall be required by this Section 8.7 to take any action that would unreasonably interfere with the conduct of its business or unreasonably disrupt its normal operations.

8.8 Confidentiality; Public Announcements.

(a) From and after the date hereof, each of the Company Aggregator and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and use their reasonable best efforts to direct their respective Representatives and Affiliates, to keep confidential and not use (other than with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives, in respect of the ownership and operation of the Excluded Assets and the Excluded Liabilities) any non-public information primarily relating to the Purchased Assets and the Assumed Liabilities (such information, the “Business Confidential Information”). In the event that the Company Aggregator, the Company or any Company Subsidiary is required by any judicial, administrative, legislative or regulatory body (a “Legal Process”) to disclose any of the Business Confidential Information, such Person shall provide the Purchaser with prompt prior written notice of any such requirement, to the extent permitted by such Legal Process, so that the Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 8.8(a). If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Purchaser, the Company Aggregator, the Company or a Company Subsidiary are nonetheless required by such Legal Process to disclose Business Confidential Information, such Person may disclose to the applicable Governmental Authority only that portion of the Business Confidential Information which counsel to such Person advises is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that such Person shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to the disclosed portion of such Business Confidential Information.

(b) The initial press release relating to this Agreement shall be a joint press release, the text of which has been agreed to by each of Parent and the Company prior to the execution of this Agreement and such initial press release (the “Closing Press Release”) shall be released as promptly as reasonably practicable after the execution of this Agreement. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall file a current report on Form 8-K (the “Closing Form 8-K”) with the Closing Press Release and a description of this Agreement as required by, and in compliance with, the applicable securities Laws, which the Company shall have the opportunity to review and comment upon prior to filing and Parent shall consider such comments in good faith. From and after the date hereof, each of Parent, the Company Aggregator and the Company shall not make any public statements (including through social media platforms) with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions without the prior written consent of the other Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) except (i) after prior consultation and good faith consideration of the other Party’s comments to the extent practicable in the circumstances, to the extent required by applicable Law or stock exchange rules (in which case such Party shall, to the extent practicable, consult in good faith with the other Parties before making such public statement), or (ii) for any statement made by a Party in connection with a dispute between the Parties regarding this Agreement or the Transactions. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Section 8.8 shall prevent Parent, the Company or the Company Aggregator and/or their respective Affiliates from furnishing customary or other reasonable information concerning the Transactions to their direct or indirect current or prospective general and limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors, in each case, who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions.

8.9 Restrictive Legends. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Parent Contributed Securities and any securities issued or issuable with respect to such securities by way of stock dividend or stock split or in connection with a combination of shares, conversion of such securities, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, going private, tender offer, amalgamation, change of control, other reorganization or otherwise, shall bear restrictive legends in substantially the following form:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OR DOCUMENTATION REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and Parent shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any such securities upon which it is stamped, if (i) such securities are registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (ii) such securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, or (iii) if such securities are proposed to be sold pursuant to an exemption from registration and Parent receives an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent and any other documentation reasonably requested by Parent with respect to compliance with such exemption.

8.10 Retained Enforcement Rights. During the period from and after the date hereof and prior to the Option Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, consult with Purchaser with respect to the potential enforcement of the Retained Enforcement Rights with respect to any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Transferred Employee; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any decision to enforce the Retained Enforcement Rights shall be in the sole discretion of the Company (following consultation with Purchaser as provided in this Section 8.10).

8.11 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time following the Closing, at the request of any party hereto and without further consideration, Parent, the Purchaser and the Sellers, as applicable, shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, such further actions as the other party may reasonably request or as otherwise may be necessary or desirable to evidence and make effective the Transactions.

8.12 Wrong Pockets; Mail.

(a) Following the Closing, all payments and reimbursements received by the Sellers with respect to any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability and the Purchaser with respect to any Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities, shall be held by such Person in trust for the benefit of the applicable Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, and, promptly following receipt thereof (and in any case within ten (10) Business Days) paid over to such other Person.

(b) Following the Closing, in the event that through inadvertence, mistake, or otherwise, the Purchaser or the Company discovers that any Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability was retained by a Seller and, as a result, was not transferred, assigned, conveyed, and delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing, the Company shall (and shall cause the other Sellers to) transfer, assign, convey and deliver such Purchased Asset or Assumed Liability, as applicable, to the Purchaser for no additional consideration (with any related cost and expense to be equally borne by the Purchaser and the applicable Seller), and shall execute such further documents and instruments necessary to give effect to and evidence such transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery to the Purchaser.

(c) Following the Closing, in the event that through inadvertence, mistake, or otherwise, the Purchaser or the Company discovers that any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability was transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered to the Purchaser at the Closing, the Purchaser shall transfer, assign, convey and deliver such Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, as applicable, to the applicable Seller for no additional consideration (with any related cost and expense to be equally borne by the Purchaser and such Seller) and shall execute such further documents and instruments necessary to give effect to and evidence such transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery to such Seller.

(d) For income Tax purposes, the Parties shall treat any transfer set forth in this Section 8.12 as having occurred at the Closing, except to the extent otherwise required by Law.

(e) The Company and the Sellers authorize the Purchaser, on and after the Closing Date, to receive and open all mail and other communications received by the Purchaser relating to the Business and, except where related to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities (discussed below), to deal with the contents of such communications in good faith and in a proper manner. The Company shall (and shall cause the other Sellers to) promptly deliver to the Purchaser any mail or other communication received by the Sellers or their Affiliates after the Closing Date pertaining to the Purchased Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. Parent and the Purchaser authorize the Company and the Company Aggregator, on and after the Closing Date, to receive and open all mail and other communications received by the Company or the Company Aggregator relating to the Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities and to deal with the contents of such communications in good faith and in a proper manner. Parent and the Purchaser shall (and shall cause their Affiliates to) promptly deliver to the Company and the Company Aggregator any mail or other communication received by Parent, the Purchaser or their respective Affiliates after the Closing Date pertaining to the Excluded Assets or the Excluded Liabilities.

8.13 Bulk Sales Laws. Each party hereto hereby waives compliance by the Sellers with the provisions of any applicable “bulk sales,” “bulk transfer” or similar laws in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (other than any such law relating to Taxes); provided, that any Liability resulting or arising from any violation of or failure to comply with any bulk sales, bulk transfer or similar law (other than any such law relating to Taxes) of any jurisdiction in connection with the consummation of the Transactions shall be an Assumed Liability for all purposes under this Agreement.

8.14 Release.

(a) Effective as of the Closing, each of the Company and the Company Aggregator, for and on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (the “Seller Releasing Parties”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Parent, the Purchaser, and their respective Affiliates from any and all manner of Proceedings and Liabilities whatsoever in law or equity, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, contingent, direct or indirect, that any Seller Releasing Party ever had, has or may have against Parent, the Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates by reason of the allocation of the Purchase Price, or any other amounts payable or paid by either Parent or the Purchaser hereunder, among the Sellers or any of their Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 8.14(a) shall operate to release, acquit or discharge any of the obligations, covenants and agreements arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents. The Company and the Company Aggregator each acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Section 8.14(a) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without such agreements, neither Parent nor Purchaser would enter into this Agreement.

(b) Effective as of the Closing, each of Parent and the Purchaser, for and on behalf of themselves and their respective Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (the “Purchaser Releasing Parties”), hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Parent, the Purchaser, and their respective Affiliates from any and all manner of Proceedings and Liabilities whatsoever in law or equity, whether known or unknown, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, contingent, direct or indirect, that any Purchaser Releasing Party ever had, has or may have against the Company, the Company Aggregator, or any of their Affiliates by reason of the allocation of the Purchase Price, or any other amounts payable or paid by either Parent or the Purchaser hereunder, among the Sellers or any of their Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 8.14(b) shall operate to release, acquit or discharge any of the obligations, covenants and agreements arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents. Parent and the Purchaser each acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in Section 8.14(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without such agreements, neither the Company noir the Company Aggregator would enter into this Agreement.

8.15 Legal Entity Names. Effective immediately after Closing, Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby grants a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable right to Sellers and their Affiliates to use “ESTRELLA” as part of each of their legal entity names solely in the form used in such legal entity names immediately prior to the Closing Date (“Approved Entity Names”) solely to the extent and only for the time period during which any Seller or any of Sellers’ Affiliates require such Approved Entity Name to maintain its or their Company FCC Licenses. If any Seller or any Seller Affiliate no longer requires such Approved Entity Name to maintain its Company FCC License, such entity shall, as soon as practicable, make all filings with any and all offices, agencies and bodies and take all other actions reasonably necessary to adopt a new legal entity name that does not include “ESTRELLA” or any term or Trademark that is confusingly similar thereto.

8.16 Intellectual Property Chain of Title Clean-Up.

9.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

9.4 Entire Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules (as defined below) and the Exhibits, schedules and annexes hereto and thereto) and the Transaction Documents constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that no Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement not in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.4 shall be void ab initio.

9.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any person, other than the Parties, any right or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties and may represent an allocation of risk among the Parties associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

9.6 Disclosure Schedules. The Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”) and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and thereto shall be construed with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement. Each capitalized term used in any Exhibit, Schedule or Disclosure Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged in numbered and lettered sections and subsections corresponding to the applicable numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement. Each item disclosed in the applicable Disclosure Schedule shall constitute an exception to, or as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) to which it makes reference and shall also be deemed to be constructively disclosed or set forth in any other section in such Disclosure Schedule relating to other sections of this Agreement to the extent a cross-reference is expressly made to such other section in such Disclosure Schedule or to the extent that the relevance of such item as an exception to, or as applicable, disclosure for the purposes of, another section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to, or is disclosed for the purposes of, such other section of this Agreement. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in any Disclosure Schedule shall not be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed hereby. Such information and the dollar thresholds set forth herein shall not be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material” or “Material Adverse Effect,” or other similar terms in this Agreement. The inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules shall not constitute an admission by the Company Aggregator, the Company or Parent, as applicable, that such item is or is not material. No disclosure in any Disclosure Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any Contract, Law or order shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

9.7 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement, and any and all claims arising directly or indirectly out of or otherwise concerning this Agreement (whether based in contract, tort or otherwise) shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to any choice or conflicts of laws principles, whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction, that might direct the application of another substantive Law to govern this Agreement).

(b) With respect to any and all Proceedings arising directly or indirectly out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, each of the Parties: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally submits and consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of: (A) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Complex Commercial Division of the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or (B) in the event that a Proceeding involves claims exclusively within the jurisdiction of the federal courts, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (all such courts, collectively, the “Chosen Courts” and, individually, each a “Chosen Court”), for itself and with respect to its property; (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such Proceeding shall be heard and determined only in any Chosen Court (and the appropriate respective appellate courts therefrom); (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any Chosen Court; (iv) agrees that, except in connection with any Proceeding brought against a party in another jurisdiction by an independent third person, it shall not bring any Proceeding directly or indirectly relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby in any forum other than a Chosen Court, except for the purpose of enforcing any award or judgment; and (v) agrees that it shall not assert and waives any objection it may have based on inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought. Each Party may make service on another Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.2. Nothing in this Section 9.7, however, shall affect the right of any person to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

9.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH OF THE PARTIES (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.8.

9.9 Headings. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.10 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (which may be delivered by electronic transmission), each of which (when executed) shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

9.11 Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions, including all fees of its legal counsel, financial advisors, auditors and accountants; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser shall pay all Transfer Taxes in accordance with Section 8.5(a).

9.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, shall occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes the Parties’ obligation to consummate the Transactions), in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity and (ii) the right to seek specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of an injunction, specific performance and/or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Each of the Parties further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Any Party seeking: (A) an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement; (B) to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and/or (C) other equitable relief, shall not be required to show proof of actual damages or to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such remedy.

9.13 No Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution or performance or non-performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), may be made only against (and such representations and warranties are those solely of) the persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement or the applicable Transaction Document (the “Contracting Parties”) except as set forth in this Section 9.13 or otherwise in this Agreement. In no event shall any Contracting Party have any shared or vicarious liability for the actions or omissions of any other person. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no person who is not a Contracting Party, including any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, financing source, attorney or Representative or assignee of any Contracting Party, or any current, former or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, financing source, attorney or Representative or assignee of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Nonparty Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or their negotiation, execution, performance or breach and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law; and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action and obligations against any such Nonparty Affiliates. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Nonparty Affiliates are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 9.13. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the Contracting Parties or any Nonparty Affiliate shall be responsible or liable for any multiple, consequential, indirect, special, statutory, exemplary or punitive damages which may be alleged as a result of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement referenced herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, or the termination or abandonment of any of the foregoing.
