(ii) the Escrow Agreement, duly executed by the Escrow Agent and the Purchaser; and

(f) the Purchaser shall pay, on behalf of the Seller or the Company (as applicable), the Estimated Transaction Expenses (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any bonuses or similar payments to employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that constitute Transaction Expenses) to the payees set forth on Exhibit A, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts set forth next to the name of the applicable payee set forth on Exhibit A.

Section 1.05 Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final NWC and Final Transaction Expenses.

(a) As promptly as possible, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver to the Seller a statement showing the calculation of (i) the amount of Cash as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) the amount of Indebtedness as of immediately prior to the Closing, (iii) the amount of Transaction Expenses unpaid as of immediately prior to the Closing, and (iv) the amount of NWC as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Statement”). If the Preliminary Statement is not delivered to the Seller by the 60^th day following the Closing Date, Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated NWC and Estimated Transaction Expenses shall become final and binding on the parties hereto. The Purchaser shall prepare the Preliminary Statement in good faith and the amount of Cash, Indebtedness, NWC and Transaction Expenses set forth therein shall be determined in accordance with the definitions thereof set forth in this Agreement, and shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities or other changes as a result of purchase accounting adjustments, arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby or resulting solely by virtue of any actions taken at or after the Closing. After delivery of the Preliminary Statement, the Seller and its accountants shall be permitted reasonable access to review the Company’s books and records and work papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Statement. The Seller and its accountants may make reasonable inquiries of the Purchaser, the Company and their respective accountants regarding questions concerning, or disagreements with, the Preliminary Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, cause any such accountants to reasonably cooperate with and respond reasonably promptly to such inquiries.

(b) If the Seller has any objections to the Preliminary Statement, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a written statement which (i) specifies those items or amounts in the Preliminary Statement with which the Seller disagrees, (ii) contains a reasonably detailed description of the reasons for its objections to each such item or amount contained therein to the extent made available to the Seller, and (iii) sets out the Seller’s calculation of any amounts in the Preliminary Statement with which the Seller disagrees (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to the Purchaser within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Preliminary Statement, the Preliminary Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. The Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections identified in the Objections Statement, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, the Seller and the Purchaser shall submit such dispute to Duff & Phelps Corporation (“Duff & Phelps”); provided that if Duff & Phelps is unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, the Seller and the Purchaser shall jointly select an alternative expert from a nationally recognized independent public accounting firm that is not the independent auditor of any of the Purchaser, the Seller or the Company (Duff & Phelps or the Person so selected, as applicable, the “Neutral Auditor”). Each of the Seller and the Purchaser may furnish to the Neutral Auditor such information and documents as it deems relevant, with copies of such submission and all such documents

and information being concurrently given to the other party. The Neutral Auditor shall consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Objections Statement as being items which the Seller and the Purchaser are unable to resolve. The Seller and the Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Neutral Auditor to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable. Further, the Neutral Auditor’s determination shall be based solely on the definitions of Cash, Indebtedness, Transaction Expenses and NWC, in each case, as calculated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the supporting material provided by the Purchaser and the Seller which are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review) and may not assign a value to any particular item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party in such party’s submission to the Neutral Auditor or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party in such party’s submission to the Neutral Auditor. The resolution of the dispute by the Neutral Auditor shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the parties hereto. The costs and expenses of the Neutral Auditor shall be allocated between the Purchaser and the Seller based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. For example, if the Seller claims Cash is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Purchaser’s accountants, the Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Seller, and the Neutral Auditor ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Neutral Auditor will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Purchaser and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Seller. The amount of Cash, the amount of Indebtedness, the amount of NWC and the amount of unpaid Transaction Expenses as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.05(a) and this Section 1.05(b) shall be referred to herein as “Final Cash”, “Final Indebtedness”, “Final NWC” and “Final Transaction Expenses”.

(c) If, after Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final NWC and Final Transaction Expenses are determined pursuant to this Section 1.05, the Preliminary Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price (such shortfall, the “Shortfall Amount”), then the Purchaser shall, within three (3) Business Days after Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final NWC and Final Transaction Expenses become final and binding on the parties pursuant to this Section 1.05, make payment of the Shortfall Amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Seller.

(d) If, after Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final NWC and Final Transaction Expenses are determined pursuant to this Section 1.05, the Preliminary Purchase Price is greater than the Purchase Price (such excess, the “Excess Amount”), then the Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days after Final Cash, Final Indebtedness, Final NWC and Final Transaction Expenses become final and binding on the parties pursuant to this Section 1.05, make payment of the Excess Amount to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser.

(e) The Purchaser agrees that the purchase price adjustment provided for in this Section 1.05, and the dispute resolution provisions provided for in this Section 1.05, shall be the exclusive remedies for any adjustments to the Purchase Price.

Section 1.06 The Closing. The parties shall cause the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) to take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 300 North LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois at 10:00 a.m. local time on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”); provided that, in lieu of a physical Closing, the parties agree that all documentary Closing deliverables may be exchanged electronically pursuant to Section 10.03. The Closing shall be deemed effective as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date.

Section 1.07 Withholding. The parties agree that no amounts are required to be withheld by applicable Law from any payments by the Purchaser under this Agreement.

Section 7.02 Indemnification for the Benefit of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

(a) From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article 7), the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and any of its Affiliates and any of its and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) for, and shall hold them harmless against, any Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to the extent relating to or arising out of or from any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or the Seller set forth in Article 2 or Article 4 or in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith; provided that, (i) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to assert claims against and recover from the Escrow Amount in respect of any such Losses, and (ii) except with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.04(a) and the first sentence of Section 2.05 and for the word “material” in the defined term “Material Contracts”, for purposes of this Section 7.02(a), any qualifications as to materiality or “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar materiality qualifications included in such representation or warranty shall be disregarded for purposes of determining whether or not such breach has occurred and for purposes of calculating the amount of any Losses subject to indemnification hereunder.

(b) From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article 7), the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, and shall hold them harmless against, any Losses incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to the extent relating to or arising out of or from any breach of any covenant or agreement of the Seller set forth herein or in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE FOREGOING ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS OR WAIVERS BY THE PURCHASER BE DEEMED TO EXCLUDE LIABILITY FOR FRAUD (AS DEFINED HEREIN) COMMITTED BY THE SELLER OR THE COMPANY.

(g) All payments made from the Escrow Account shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price under Article 1. Each of the parties hereto shall file all Tax Returns and take all other actions in a manner consistent with the foregoing, unless otherwise required by a final determination of a taxing authority to the contrary.

Section 7.03 Indemnification by the Purchaser for the Benefit of the Seller Indemnified Parties. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article 7), the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller and each of its respective Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, managers, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless against any Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent arising from: (a) any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the Purchaser set forth herein or in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith and (b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company or the Purchaser set forth herein or in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith.

Section 7.04 Mitigation. To the extent required by applicable Laws, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts within their control to mitigate any Losses or potential Losses; provided that the failure of any party to so mitigate shall only reduce the rights of such party to recover for Loss under this Article 7 to the extent of the Losses that would have been avoided by such mitigation.

Section 7.05 Defense of Claims. Any Person making a claim for indemnification under Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 (an “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (or, if the Indemnitee is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the Seller) (such indemnifying party or the Seller, as applicable, an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing as promptly as reasonably practicable after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party) or becoming aware of the facts giving rise to such claim (if not by a third party), describing the claim, the amount thereof (to the extent known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof; provided, however, that failure to give such notification as promptly as reasonably practicable shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnitor shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense and, at its option, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof by appointing a nationally recognized counsel of its choosing to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided that the Seller (as Indemnitor) shall be entitled to assume such defense pursuant to this Section 7.05 only in the event that the amount then in the Escrow Account exceeds 50% of the Losses claimed in such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or

other claim at the time such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim arises; provided, further, that any Indemnitor shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation on any claims contained herein; provided, further, that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose (it being understood that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee (except where a conflict of interest, or differing defenses, between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee exist (in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee’s counsel), in which case, the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitor)). If the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim then the Indemnitor shall be entitled to settle such claim; provided that the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, (i) injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee, (ii) such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, (iii) such settlement would involve any finding or admission of any violation of applicable Law or admission of any wrongdoing or (iv) such settlement would involve the payment of money damages that exceed 100% of the amount of Losses for which indemnification is available hereunder. In all cases, the Indemnitee shall provide its reasonable cooperation with the Indemnitor in defense of claims or litigation, including by making employees, information and documentation reasonably available. If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of any such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim, the Indemnitee may defend against such matter; provided that the Indemnitee may not settle any such matter without the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Seller shall be deemed the Indemnitor as such term is used herein in the case of any claim with respect to which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification under Section 7.02, and the Purchaser shall be the only Person entitled to assert (and shall act on behalf of all Indemnitees in the case of) any claim with respect to which a Purchaser Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification under Section 7.02.

Section 7.06 Determination of Loss Amount. The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 7.02 or Section 7.03 shall be calculated net of (i) any insurance proceeds or any cash indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recovered by an Indemnitee from any third party with respect thereto and (ii) any cash Tax Benefit that is actually realized by an Indemnitee on account of such Loss prior to the time the applicable indemnity payment is made. A “Tax Benefit” for any Indemnitee means (x) any actual cash refund of Taxes paid or (y) the amount by which such Indemnitee’s cumulative liability for Taxes through a taxable period (and for purposes of this Section 7.06, taking into account as the Indemnitee’s liability the cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such period of any consolidated, combined or other similar group of which the Indemnitee is a member), calculated by excluding the relevant amount of credit, deduction, or Loss, would exceed such Indemnitee’s actual liability for Taxes through such period, calculated by taking into account the relevant amount of credit, deduction, or Loss, in each case computed at the highest marginal Tax rates applicable to the recipient of such benefit; provided, however, that in the case of a Purchaser Indemnified Party, the relevant Tax Benefit, if any, shall be determined at the level of the Purchaser and shall take into account the reduction in the Purchaser’s ability to claim a credit for any foreign taxes paid or accrued by the Company and its Subsidiaries (treating any such reduction as a cash tax payment) and any reduction in the “adjusted grossed up basis” (within the meaning of Section 1.338-5(a) of the Treasury Regulations) in the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries as a consequence of any deemed adjustment to the Purchase Price arising in connection with the Loss and the indemnification therefore (25% of which reduction shall be deemed to be a Tax paid by the Purchaser as of the end of the taxable period for which the determination of Tax Benefit is being made). In the event that an insurance or other recovery from a third party is received by any Indemnitee with respect to any Loss for which such Indemnitee has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, be paid to the Indemnitor (or, if the Indemnitee is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, to the Seller). In no event shall the Purchaser Indemnified Parties be entitled to recover or make a claim for punitive or exemplary damages unless actually paid to a third party.

Section 7.07 Acknowledgment of the Purchaser.

(a) Subject to clause (b) below, the Purchaser acknowledges that in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Purchaser has relied on the results of its own independent investigation and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Seller expressly and specifically set forth in Article 2 and Article 4, as qualified by the Disclosure Schedules, and expressly disclaims any reliance on any other information or the absence thereof in entering into this Agreement. Such representations and warranties constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of or regarding the Seller and the Company and its Subsidiaries, to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the Company, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by the Seller and the Company. Neither the Seller nor the Company makes or provides, and the Purchaser hereby waives, any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability, as for a particular purpose, or condition of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets or any part thereto. In connection with the Purchaser’s investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, the Purchaser has received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and certain business plan information. The Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that the Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties and that the Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts. Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that none of the Seller, the Company or any of their respective direct or indirect Affiliates or representatives (or any of their directors, officers, employees, members, shareholders, managers, partners or agents) is making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts. The Purchaser further agrees that none of the Seller, the Company or any of their respective direct or indirect Affiliates or representatives (or any of their directors, officers, employees, members, shareholders, managers, partners or agents) will have or be subject to any liability to the Purchaser or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Purchaser, or the Purchaser’s use of, any such information, or any information, document or material made available to the Purchaser or its Affiliates or their respective, counsel, accountants, consultants, advisors, agents or other representatives in “data rooms” and online “data sites,” in management interviews or in any other form in expectation or anticipation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except to the extent specifically set forth in Article 2 and Article 4, the Purchaser is acquiring the Company Shares on an “as is, where is” basis.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the acknowledgments in Section 7.07(a) by the Purchaser be deemed to exclude liability for Fraud committed by the Seller or the Company.

ARTICLE 8

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Section 8.01 Tax Matters. The provisions of this Section 8.01 shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between the Purchaser and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, for certain Tax matters following the Closing:

(a) Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns. The Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, the due date of which is after the Closing Date (in each case, to the extent not already filed prior thereto) at the sole expense of the Company. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with the past custom and practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries except as may be required by applicable Tax Law. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which each such Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due, the Purchaser shall submit such Tax Return (and all relevant work papers and other items required to understand such Tax Return or other items as reasonably requested by the Seller) to the Seller for the Seller’s review, comment and consent, and the Purchaser shall make changes to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by the Seller prior to filing and shall not file such Tax Returns without the Seller’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Books and Records; Cooperation. Each of the Purchaser and the Seller shall (i) provide the other party with such assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, review of, filing or execution of any Tax Return (including, as necessary, executing and filing the Tax Returns described in Section 8.01(a)) or any audit or other examination by any taxing authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, or as a result of ownership of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and including by executing any powers of attorneys or similar authorizations reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes of this Section 8.01, and (ii) retain, and provide the other party with reasonable access to, all records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit, examination or proceeding and make employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided. The Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereof) for the respective taxable periods.

(c) Transfer Taxes. Each of the Seller and the Purchaser will pay fifty percent (50%) of any gross receipts, transfer, documentary, registration, gains, real property transfer, sales, use, excise, stamp, conveyance Taxes or other similar Taxes imposed on the Company or its Subsidiaries or the Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties, interest or additions to Tax with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Tax imposed on the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Seller or the Purchaser that is imposed on income, profit or gain of the Seller arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be considered a Transfer Tax and all such Tax imposed on the income, profit or gain of the Seller shall be for the Seller’s sole account. Each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the amount of such Transfer Taxes and to cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all Tax Returns and other documents required in connection with such Transfer Taxes. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including promptly supplying any information in the Seller’s possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such Tax Returns.

(d) Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter. The Purchaser shall not take any action with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in Internal Revenue Service Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.

(e) Amendments, Elections, and Actions with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods. Without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, it shall be reasonable for the Seller to withhold such consent if the applicable action reasonably would increase the Seller’s (or any of its direct or indirect beneficial owners’) Tax liabilities under this Agreement), the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, (A) amend any Tax Return of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, (B) agree to waive or extend the statute of limitations relating to any Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (C) make or change any election with respect to, or that has retroactive effect to, any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (except, for the avoidance of doubt, the Section 338(g) Elections or any other Tax election expressly contemplated to be made pursuant to this Agreement), (D) enter into any voluntary disclosure program or otherwise voluntarily approach any taxing authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, or (E) file any ruling or request with any taxing authority that relates to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company or its Subsidiaries for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(f) Section 338 Election. The Purchaser shall have the right, exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion, to make an election under Section 338(g) of the Code (or any similar provision under state, local, or non-U.S. Law) with respect to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and Company JVs (in the case of Company JVs, to the extent they are “target affiliates” within the meaning of Section 338(h)(6) of the Code), in each case other than with respect to Sustainable Luxury USA Limited (the “Section 338(g) Elections”).

(g) Straddle Period Allocation. To the extent it is necessary for purposes of this Agreement to determine the allocation of Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period, the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income, sales, payroll or receipts of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, (x) the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or its Subsidiaries hold a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time and (y) the Transaction Tax Deductions shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent consistent with applicable Law), and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period; provided, however, that for purposes of such allocation, transactions occurring or actions taken on the Closing Date but after the Closing by the Purchaser or by, or with respect to, the Company or its Subsidiaries that are outside the ordinary course of business and not expressly contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated as occurring after the Closing Date.

(h) Tax Refunds. The Seller shall be entitled to (i) any Tax refunds that are received by the Purchaser or the Company or its Subsidiaries, plus any interests received with respect to such refunds, and (ii) any amounts credited against Tax for a taxable period ending after the Closing Date to which the Company and its Subsidiaries become entitled in a Tax period ending after the Closing Date, in each case, that relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (except to the extent any such refund or credit arises as a result of a carryback of any deduction, loss or credit from a taxable period ending after the Closing Date). The Purchaser shall pay over to the Seller any such refund within five (5) days after receipt of such refund or within five (5) days of filing of the Tax Return reflecting such credit. The Purchaser shall request a refund

(rather than a credit against future Taxes) with respect to all Pre-Closing Tax Periods and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and expedite the receipt of any refund or credit to which the Seller is entitled under this Section 8.01(h). Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, any obligation of the Purchaser to pay any Tax refund or credit to the Seller under this Section 8.01(h) shall be reduced, without duplication, by the amount, if any, Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiaries attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period that are actually paid by the Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date (other than any such Taxes that were specifically included as a liability in Final NWC or Final Indebtedness or accrued for on the Latest Balance Sheet).

(i) Tax Contests.

(i) The Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) days) forward to the Seller all written notifications and other communications from any taxing authority relating to any Tax liability or the amount or availability of any Tax asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(ii) The Seller shall have the right to control any audit or examination by any taxing authority or any other judicial or administrative proceeding with respect to Taxes, initiate any claim for refund of Taxes, amend any Tax Return, and contest, resolve and defend against any assessment for additional Taxes, notice of Tax deficiency or other adjustment of Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise enforce the provisions set forth in this Section 8.01 (each, a “Tax Matter”) for any Pre-Closing Tax Period; provided, however, that the Seller shall provide to the Purchaser (at the Purchaser’s expense) reasonable participation rights with respect to so much of any such Tax Matter that is reasonably likely to affect the Tax liability of the Purchaser or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date. The Seller shall not enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise, any such Tax Matter that would affect the liability of the Purchaser or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any Taxes, as to which the Seller would not be liable hereunder or as a matter of applicable Law, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(iii) If, after receiving written notice of a Tax Matter, the Seller declines to exercise its control rights pursuant to Section 8.01(i)(ii) with respect to such Tax Matter, the Purchaser shall control the conduct of such Tax Matter; provided, that Purchaser shall (w) keep the Seller apprised of the status of such Tax Matter, including by giving the Seller advance notice of, and opportunity to attend, any in-person or telephonic meetings, (x) provide copies of any written correspondence or other submissions received from a taxing authority with respect to such Tax Matter, (y) provide copies of any written correspondence to be provided to any taxing authority in connection with such Tax Matter to the Seller for the Seller’s review and comment, with all reasonable comments of the Seller to be reflected in such correspondence or submission, and (z) not enter into any settlement of, or otherwise compromise, any such Tax Matter, without the prior written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(iv) In the event of any conflict between Article 7 hereof and this Section 8.01(i), this Section 8.01(i) shall control.

Section 8.02 Confidentiality. The Confidentiality Agreement, dated August 25, 2017, by and between the Purchaser and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) shall terminate upon the Closing. From and after the Closing for a period of five (5) years, the Seller shall not, and shall cause

its Affiliates not to, disclose any non-public information concerning the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company, the Company JVs or the business of the Company, the Subsidiaries of the Company and the Company JVs, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Management Agreements and any financial information of the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Company JVs; provided, however, that no such Person shall be prevented from making disclosures required by applicable Law (including in any Tax return) or in accordance with ordinary course reporting to such Person’s limited partners and legal, accounting, tax and other advisors. The obligations of confidentiality in this Section 8.02 shall not apply to information that was or is obtained on a non-confidential basis from other sources not bound by an obligation to the Company, its Subsidiaries or a Company JV, that was or is or becomes generally available to the public, that ceases to be a trade secret, that is developed without reference to such non-public information concerning the Company, its Subsidiaries or the Company JVs or that is required to be disclosed to a Governmental Authority, including pursuant to applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority; provided that in the event that the disclosure of such non-public information is so required by any applicable Law or Governmental Authority (other than in any Tax return), the Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Purchaser with prompt notice if permitted to do so by applicable Law or Governmental Authority so that the Purchaser may (at its own expense) seek an appropriate protective order or similar relief and the Seller shall, upon request, and if permitted to do so by applicable Law or by such applicable Governmental Authority, use reasonable best efforts to assist the Purchaser in obtaining such a protective order or relief. Disclosure of any non-public information pursuant to any such order or requirement of applicable Law or Governmental Authority shall not in and of itself be deemed to render such non-public information public.

Section 8.03 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto and at such party’s expense, any other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Electronic Delivery. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic Delivery”), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each such party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity or lack of Electronic Delivery.

Section 10.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.15 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the Exhibits and Disclosure Schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 10.16 Consent to Jurisdiction. SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 1.05 (WHICH SHALL GOVERN ANY DISPUTE ARISING THEREUNDER), THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL PROPERLY AND EXCLUSIVELY LIE IN THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE CHANCERY COURT OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE). EACH PARTY ALSO AGREES NOT TO BRING ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IN ANY OTHER COURT (OTHER THAN UPON THE APPEAL OF ANY JUDGMENT, DECISION OR ACTION OF ANY SUCH COURT LOCATED IN DELAWARE OR, AS APPLICABLE, ANY FEDERAL APPELLATE COURT THAT INCLUDES THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHIN ITS JURISDICTION). BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH OF THE PARTIES FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 10.03 OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT WILL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW.

Section 10.17 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that (i) the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 10.16 without proof of damages or posting a bond or other form of security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement and (ii) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties hereto would have entered into this Agreement. The parties hereto agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall this Section 10.17 be used, alone or together with any other provision of this Agreement, to require the Company to remedy any breach of any representation or warranty of the Company made herein.

Section 10.18 Consents. The Purchaser acknowledges that certain consents to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be required from parties to contracts, leases, licenses or other agreements to which the Company and its Subsidiaries are party (including the contracts set forth on the Contracts Schedule and the Real Property Leases set forth on the Real Property Schedule) and such consents may not have been obtained. The Purchaser (on behalf of itself and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties) agrees and acknowledges that the Seller and the Company shall have no liability whatsoever to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties (and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to assert any claims against the Escrow Account) arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any

consents that may have been or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or because of the default, acceleration or termination of any such contract, lease, license or other agreement as a result thereof. Nothing in this Section 10.18 shall limit in any way any of the Seller’s representations and warranties (or the right to recover for breach thereof pursuant to Article 7) contained in Article 4, or limit the Company’s representations and warranties (or the right to recover for breach thereof pursuant to Article 7) contained in Article 2.

Section 10.19 Non-Recourse. All proceedings (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto. Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against, and no personal liability shall attach to, the former, current or future direct or indirect equityholders, directors, officers, employees, incorporators, agents, attorneys, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees of the Seller or any former, current or future direct or indirect equityholder, director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, attorney, representative, general or limited partner, member, manager, Affiliate, agent, assignee or representative of any of the foregoing (collectively (but not including the Company), the “Seller Affiliates”), through the Seller or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, partnership, limited partnership or limited liability company veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of the Purchaser against any Seller Affiliate by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable action, by virtue of any Law, or otherwise and each party hereto waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Seller Affiliate. In the event that any provision of this Agreement provides that a party hereto shall cause its Affiliates and/or representatives to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) or otherwise purports to be binding on such party’s Affiliates and/or representatives, such party shall be liable for any breach of such provision by any such Affiliate or representative.

Section 10.20 Chengdu Receivable. From and after the Closing, the Purchaser and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Chengdu Receivable in full. The Purchaser shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to remit to the Seller any amounts collected on the Chengdu Receivable (less any Tax suffered in respect thereof) at any time. It is further understood and agreed that any payments made to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Management Agreement re Evason Qing Cheng Mountain, dated as of 16 July 2010, by and among between Sarppasamphat Limited, Jin Rui Tong Investment Management Co. Ltd. Chengdu and Jin Ruit Tong Industrial Co. Ltd. Chengdu (as novated to Sustainable Luxury Mauritius Limited), or any other ancillary agreement relating to Six Senses Qing Cheng Mountain located at Qing Cheng Mountain, Sichuan Province, China from and after the Closing shall be deemed to be applied to the Chengdu Receivable until it is paid in full. On the first anniversary of the Closing, to the extent the Chengdu Receivable has not been paid in full, the Seller shall have the right to notify the Purchaser that it desires to have the Company assign the Chengdu Receivable, including all rights to collect thereunder, to the Seller (or its designee); provided that such notice must be delivered to the Purchaser on or prior to the 30th day following the first anniversary of the Closing.
