Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously announced on October 14, 2024, B. Riley Financial, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or “B. Riley”) and BR Financial Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“BR Financial”), entered into an equity purchase agreement, dated October 13, 2024 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), by and among OCM SSF III Great American PT, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Investor 1”), Opps XII Great American Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Investor 2”), and VOF Great American Holdings, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Investor 3,” and, together with Investor 1 and Investor 2, the “Investors”), Great American Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Great American NewCo”), and certain other parties identified therein, with respect to the ownership of Great American NewCo by the Investors and the Company. The Investors are affiliates of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by the Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Great American Transactions”) occurred on November 15, 2024.

Prior to the Closing of the Great American Transactions, BR Financial and its Affiliates conducted an internal reorganization resulting in the contribution of all of the interests in the Company’s Appraisal and Valuation Services, Retail, Wholesale & Industrial Solutions and Real Estate businesses (collectively, the “Great American Group”) to Great American NewCo. At the Closing, (i) the Investors received (a) all of the outstanding class A preferred limited liability units of Great American NewCo (which have a 7.5% cash coupon and a 7.5% payment-in-kind coupon) (the “Class A Preferred Units”) and (b) class A common limited liability units of Great American NewCo (the “Class A Common Units”) representing approximately 52.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Units in Great American NewCo for a purchase price of approximately $200 million. At the Closing, BR Financial retained (a) approximately 93.2% of the issued and outstanding class B preferred limited liability company units of Great American NewCo (which have a 2.3% payment-in-kind coupon) (the “Class B Preferred Units”) and (b) approximately 44.2% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Units. The remaining approximately 6.8% of issued and outstanding Class B Preferred Units and approximately 3.2% of issued and outstanding Class A Common Units are held by certain minority investors. The issued Class A Preferred Units have an initial liquidation preference of $203 million, and the issued Class B Preferred Units have an initial liquidation preference of $183 million, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The investors in Great American NewCo are also entitled to certain quarterly tax distributions pursuant to the Great American NewCo LLCA (defined below).

At the Closing, BR Financial, the Investors and the other minority investors also entered into a Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Great American NewCo (the “Great American NewCo LLCA”). Under the Great American NewCo LLCA, Great American NewCo initially has a four-member board of directors that oversees the day-to-day management of Great American NewCo, subject to certain approval rights reserved for the Investors and/or BR Financial, as applicable. The Investors are entitled to appoint a majority of the directors of the board for so long as they collectively hold at least 25% of their combined amount of Common Units owned immediately following the Closing. The Great American NewCo LLCA also contains certain protective rights for BR Financial, including, but not limited to, requiring BR Financial approval for certain actions. The Investors will have certain drag-along rights following the second-year anniversary of the Closing Date and certain call rights exercisable starting on the fifth-year anniversary of the Closing Date. The Great American NewCo LLCA sets forth mechanics pursuant to which Great American NewCo will make distributions in cash and payment-in-kind at any time the board of directors may authorize, with the Class A Preferred Units having priority in any such distribution over Class B Preferred Units. In addition, the Great American NewCo LLCA contains certain transfer restrictions and other transfer rights and obligations that apply to BR Financial, the Investors and other unitholders, as applicable, in certain circumstances.

Of the $200 million cash consideration that the Investors paid for their interests in Great American NewCo, approximately $13.8 million was paid to the minority investors in Great American NewCo and approximately $18.8 million was used to pay for investment banking fees, legal fees and other transaction related costs. Of the remaining approximately $167.4 million distributed to B. Riley, approximately $92.7 million was used to pay interest and principal on B. Riley’s Nomura credit facility, which reduced the balance to $125 million on November 15, 2024. B. Riley also expects to report a gain of approximately $235 million in the fourth quarter as a result of the Great American Transaction.

The foregoing summary of the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Great American NewCo LLCA and the Great American Transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of respectively, the Equity Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety, and the Great American NewCo LLCA, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Section 1.04 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Purchase Price Procedures.

(b) Final Contribution Adjustment Procedures.

(i) Delivery of the Post-Closing Statement. No later than forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date (which period may be extended by the Company acting in good faith to sixty (60) days after the Closing Date by providing written notice to BR Financial on or prior to the fortieth (40th) day after the Closing Date), the Company shall deliver to BR Financial the Post-Closing Statement, together with supporting documentation used by the Company in calculating the amounts set forth therein. For the avoidance of doubt, any directors appointed by BR Financial or its Affiliates to the Company’s board of directors shall recuse themselves from, and shall not receive information or analysis in connection with, the Company’s preparation and delivery of the Post-Closing Statement and the process contemplated by this Section 1.04. The Parties agree that the purpose of the Post-Closing Statement is to measure variations in the components taken into consideration in determining the estimates included in the Estimated Closing Statement compared to the actual values, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such process is not intended to (A) permit the introduction of accounting principles, practices, methodologies and procedures different from the Accounting Principles or the definitions in this Agreement, (B) adjust for any errors or omissions that may be found with respect to the Financial Statements or any inconsistencies between the Financial Statements and GAAP unrelated to the Estimated Closing Statement or Post-Closing Statement, unless required by the Accounting Principles, for which Buyers’ rights (if any) under Article VIII of this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy, or (C) permit any adjustments to the Reimbursable Company Transaction Expenses or the Reimbursable Buyer Transaction Expenses that were paid by Buyers pursuant to Section 1.03(b)(iii) or (iv).

(ii) Access to Information. From the Closing until the determination of the Final Closing Statement, the Company shall, and shall cause the Great American Entities to, upon reasonable prior notice and subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested by accountants of Buyers or the Great American Entities: (A) provide BR Financial and its authorized Representatives with reasonable access during normal business hours to the facilities, books and records and work papers of the Great American Entities to the extent reasonably requested in connection with the matters contemplated by this Section 1.04 or otherwise contemplated by the LLC Agreement and (B) cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, BR Financial and its authorized Representatives in connection with the review of such materials, including by making available their employees, accountants and other personnel to the extent reasonably requested.

(iii) Notice of Objection. If BR Financial has any objections to the Post-Closing Statement or any of the amounts included in the calculation of the Final Contribution Adjustment Amount set forth therein, BR Financial shall deliver to the Company a written statement (a “Notice of Objection”) setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement (including the specific items in the Post-Closing Statement that are in dispute and the nature and amount of any disagreement so identified) not later than twenty (20) days after its receipt of the Post-Closing Statement (such twenty (20)-day period, the “Review Period”). If BR Financial delivers a Notice of Objection to the Company within the Review Period, BR Financial and the Company shall work in good faith to resolve BR Financial’s objections within the fifteen (15)-day period following the delivery of the Notice of Objection. If BR Financial fails to deliver a Notice of Objection within the Review Period, the Post-Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted by BR Financial (on behalf of itself and the other Sellers) and shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding upon all of the Parties and shall be deemed the Final Closing Statement and not subject to appeal.

-6-

(iv) Selection of the Accountant. In the event that the Company and BR Financial are unable to resolve in writing all of BR Financial’s objections in the Notice of Objection within the fifteen (15)-day period (or such longer period as may be agreed by the Company and BR Financial) following the delivery of such Notice of Objection, the resolution of all such unresolved items (“Disputed Items”) shall be submitted jointly by BR Financial and the Company to Ernst & Young LLP (or, if Ernst & Young LLP is unwilling or unable to serve, such other independent accounting or valuation firm of recognized national standing in the United States as may be mutually selected by the Company and BR Financial), to resolve any remaining disagreements (such firm as is ultimately selected pursuant to the aforementioned procedures being the “Accountant”) in accordance with Section 1.04(b)(v). BR Financial and the Company shall execute any agreement reasonably required by the Accountant for its engagement hereunder.

(v) Submission of Disputed Items. The Company and BR Financial shall each, promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days, or such longer time as the Company and BR Financial may agree) following the formal engagement of the Accountant, provide the Accountant (copying the other upon submission) with a single written submission setting forth its respective calculations of and assertions regarding the Disputed Items and upon receipt thereof, BR Financial and the Company shall each be entitled (no later than five (5) Business Days following receipt of the other Party’s initial submission) to submit to the Accountant a single written response to such other Party’s initial submission setting forth such Party’s objections or rebuttals to the calculations and/or assertions set forth in such initial submission (copying the other upon submission). There shall be no ex parte communications between Sellers (or their Representatives) or the Company (or their Representatives), on the one hand, and the Accountant, on the other hand, relating to the Disputed Items, and unless requested by the Accountant in writing, no Party may present any additional information or arguments to the Accountant, either orally or in writing.

(vi) Accountant’s Determination. The Accountant shall be instructed to render its determination with respect to the Disputed Items as soon as reasonably possible (the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Accountant to complete its work within twenty (20) days following the formal engagement of the Accountant). The Accountant shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine solely the Disputed Items based solely on the submissions and responses of the Company, on the one hand, and BR Financial, on the other hand, delivered pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.04(b)(v) with respect to the Disputed Items, without independent investigation and in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the definitions in this Agreement. In resolving any disputed amount in connection with its determination of the Final Contribution Adjustment Amount, or any component thereof (or Cash as reflected on the Estimated Closing Statement or Post-Closing Statement), the Accountant may not assign a value to any Disputed Item greater than the greatest value for each such Disputed Item claimed by either Party in the Post-Closing Statement or Notice of Objection or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Party in the Post-Closing Statement or Notice of Objection. The Parties agree that the determination of the Accountant with respect to any Disputed Items is not intended to permit the introduction of accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies that conflict with the Accounting Principles or the definitions set forth herein for the purposes of determining the Final Contribution Adjustment Amount or Cash as reflected on the Estimated Closing Statement or the Post-Closing Statement. The determination of the Accountant in accordance with this Section 1.04(b)(vi) shall be in writing setting forth its calculation of the Disputed Items, along with its analysis in reasonable detail and the basis and quantification for such final resolution and shall be binding and final for purposes of this Agreement, and enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, absent fraud or manifest error. The Post-Closing Statement resulting from the determinations with respect to the Disputed Items made by the Accountant in accordance with this Section 1.04(b)(vi) shall be deemed the Final Closing Statement.

-7-

(vii) Accountant’s Fees and Expenses. The Accountant shall allocate its costs and expenses between Buyers, on one hand, and BR Financial, on the other hand, to reflect their relative success in the resolution of the dispute based upon the percentage of the aggregate contested amount submitted to the Accountant that is ultimately awarded to the Company, on the one hand, or Sellers, on the other hand, such that Buyers bear a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to Sellers and Sellers bear a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to the Company. For illustrative purposes only, if the contested amount submitted to the Accountant is $1,000,000, and the Accountant determines that the Company has a valid claim for $400,000 of the $1,000,000, Buyers shall bear sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Accountant, and Sellers shall bear the remaining forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Accountant pro rata in accordance with the percentage interests set forth on Schedule I.A hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, the fees and disbursements of the Representatives of each Party incurred in connection with the preparation or review of the Post-Closing Statement and any Notice of Objection, as well as any submissions and responses to the Accountant, as applicable, shall be borne by such Party.

(i) Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Statement:

(A) if the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is a negative number, BR Financial and Buyers shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to pay to the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, from the Escrow Account, an amount equal to the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, and (x) if the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is less than the amount of funds in the Escrow Account, BR Financial and the Company shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release and pay any funds remaining in the Escrow Account (after deducting the release and payment to the Company of the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount) to the Sellers, with each Seller entitled to the percentage of such remaining amount set forth for such Seller on Schedule I.A of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (y) if the absolute value of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount of funds in the Escrow Account (such excess amount, a “Negative Adjustment Deficiency Amount”), then each of the Sellers shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the percentage of such Negative Adjustment Deficiency Amount set forth for such Seller on Schedule I.A of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to instructions notified to BR Financial by the Company; and

-8-

(B) if the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount is a positive number or zero (the “Positive Adjustment Amount”), then (x) BR Financial and the Company shall jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing to release and pay to the Sellers any funds in the Escrow Account, with each Seller entitled to the percentage of such funds set forth for such Seller on Schedule I.A of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (y) the Company shall pay to each Seller an amount equal to the percentage of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, if any, set forth for such Seller on Schedule I.A of this Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, pursuant to instructions notified to the Company by the Sellers.

(ii) Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Law) (a “Final Tax Determination”), any payment made by any Seller to the Company pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall, for Tax purposes, be deemed to be an adjustment to the assets contributed by such Seller to the Company pursuant to the Company Contribution. Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a Final Tax Determination, any payment made by the Company to any Seller pursuant to this Section 1.04 shall, for Tax purposes, (A) to the extent of the cash contributed (or deemed contributed) by such Seller to the Company pursuant to the Company Contribution, be deemed to be an adjustment to such cash contributed by such Seller to the Company pursuant to the Company Contribution and (B) to the extent such payment exceeds such cash contributed (or deemed contributed) by such Seller to the Company pursuant to the Company Contribution, be deemed to be an adjustment to the other assets contributed by such Seller to the Company pursuant to the Company Contribution (or, to the extent required by applicable Law, as a distribution by the Company to such Seller described in Section 731(a) of the Code).

(d) Exclusive Remedy. The process set forth in this Section 1.04 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any disputes related to items required to be included or reflected in the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount; provided that the Company and BR Financial (acting on behalf of the Sellers) may enforce the other Party’s obligations under this Section 1.04 in the Chosen Courts.

Section 1.05 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyers, the Company, and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement any Taxes required under applicable Tax Law to be deducted or withheld. Except for any withholding required (a) on account of the failure to deliver an IRS Form W-9 or (b) with respect to compensatory amounts due to current or former employees, as of the date hereof, neither Buyers nor the Company is aware of any amounts required under applicable Tax Law to be withheld from any amounts payable by Buyers to Sellers in connection with the sale of Buyer Securities. Buyers or the Company, as applicable, shall use reasonable best efforts to notify BR Financial at least seven (7) days prior to deducting or withholding Tax from amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement and shall reasonably cooperate with the Sellers to secure any available reduction or exemption from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

With respect to any Seller-Reviewed Tax Return for a Straddle Period (a “Straddle Period Return”), the Company shall consider in good faith any comments reasonably requested from BR Financial with respect to any such Seller-Reviewed Tax Return and shall revise such Seller-Reviewed Tax Returns to reflect any revisions or comments from BR Financial with which the Company agrees. With respect to any Seller-Reviewed Tax Return other than a Straddle Period Return, the Company shall revise such Tax Return to reflect any reasonable comments received from BR Financial not later than fifteen (15) days before the due date thereof (taking into account any applicable extensions), and no such Tax Return shall be filed unless it shall have been approved by BR Financial. The Company shall not amend or revoke any such Seller-Reviewed Tax Returns (other than a Straddle Period Return) that reflects any Indemnified Taxes without the prior written consent of BR Financial (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(b) Company Transaction Expenses. To the extent applicable, any item of loss, deduction, or credit for U.S. federal income Tax purposes attributable to any Company Transaction Expenses shall be allocated to the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date to the extent that such item is “more-likely-than-not” deductible (or deductible at a higher level of confidence) by the Great American Entities in a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

(c) Transfer Taxes. All Transfer Taxes imposed upon the purchase and sale of the Buyer Securities shall be borne 50% by BR Financial and 50% by Buyers. Any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with any such Transfer Taxes (the “Transfer Tax Returns”) shall be prepared and timely filed (or caused to be filed) by the Party that is required by Law to file such Transfer Tax Return. Buyers and Sellers shall cooperate with each other and, as required by applicable Law, join in the execution of all necessary Transfer Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to any such Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, BR Financial shall be liable for and pay any and all Transfer Taxes due and payable as a result of, relating to or in connection with the Pre-Closing Reorganization.

(d) Tax Contests. If any Tax Authority asserts a Tax claim or initiates or conducts any audit, examination, contest, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes in respect of any Great American Entities that, if pursued successfully, would reasonably be expected to (i) serve as the basis for a claim for indemnification for Indemnified Taxes or (ii) result in Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Great American Entities) having liability or economically bearing such Taxes (such claim, a “Tax Claim” and such proceeding, a “Tax Proceeding”), the party to this Agreement first receiving notice of such Tax Claim shall promptly notify the other party or parties to this Agreement of receipt of such Tax Claim from the Tax Authority (it being understood that notice provided to BR Financial shall constitute notice to the Sellers); provided, however, that the failure of such party to give such prompt notice shall not relieve the other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the other party is prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the relevant Tax Authority.

The Company will have the right to control any Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the Great American Entities for any Pre-Closing Tax Period not controlled by BR Financial under this Section 5.09(d)(i).

(ii) The Company will have the right to control any Tax Proceeding of or with respect to any of the Great American Entities for any Straddle Period; provided, however, that to the extent that (A) BR Financial may be obligated to indemnify the Company or Buyers pursuant to this Agreement for Taxes in respect of the Tax Proceeding or the resolution thereof or (B) the Sellers or their Affiliates (other than the Great American Entities) may otherwise reasonably be expected to economically bear liability for Taxes in respect of such Tax Proceeding or the resolution thereof, (x) the Company shall keep BR Financial apprised of material developments with respect to, shall promptly respond to any reasonable requests from BR Financial for information relating to, and shall consult with BR Financial before taking any significant action in connection with, such Tax Proceeding, (y) BR Financial will be entitled to participate, at its own expense, in such Tax Proceeding and receive copies of any written materials relating to such Tax Proceeding received from the relevant Tax Authority and (z) the Company will not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without BR Financial’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Thereafter, the Party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them after offering the other party hereto reasonable notice and opportunity to take possession of such Tax Returns and other documents at such other party’s own expense.

(h) Allocation of Purchase Price.

(i) The Base Cash Consideration (along with any other items that are treated as additional consideration for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes) shall be allocated among the assets of the Company and any other Great American Entity that is treated as a partnership or an entity disregarded as an entity separate from its owner for applicable income Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the Code, including Sections 743, 754, and 755 thereof, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (such allocation, the “Asset Allocation”). Within one-hundred twenty (120) days following the determination of the Base Cash Consideration, BR Financial shall prepare and deliver to Buyers a proposed Asset Allocation. Buyers shall review the draft Asset Allocation and provide any comments with respect thereto within thirty (30) days after receiving such draft Asset Allocation (“Buyer Allocation Comments”). BR Financial and Buyers shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any disputes relating to the Asset Allocation. If BR Financial and Buyers fail to resolve any such disputes within twenty (20) days from the receipt of any Buyer Allocation Comments, then any agreed portions of the Asset Allocation shall become final and, solely with respect to the unagreed portion of the Asset Allocation, BR Financial and Buyers shall promptly retain the Accountant for resolution of any remaining disputes in the same manner in which disputes are handled pursuant to Section 1.04(b). The determination of the Accountant shall be final and binding on all Parties. Any Asset Allocation determined pursuant to the decision of the Accountant shall incorporate, reflect and be consistent with this Section 5.09(h)(i). The Asset Allocation, as prepared by BR Financial if no Buyer Allocation Comments have been timely provided, as agreed between BR Financial and Buyers, or as finally determined by the Accountant in accordance with this Section 5.09(h)(i) (the “Final Asset Allocation”), shall be binding on Buyers, the Company, and the Sellers absent manifest error. In the event of any adjustment to the purchase price for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Parties agree to modify the Final Asset Allocation to reflect such adjustment, and any disagreement regarding such adjustment shall be resolved by the Accountant according to the same procedure.

(ii) The Parties agree that they will report and file all Tax Returns consistent with the Final Asset Allocation and will not, and will not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take a position on any Tax Return or in any Tax audit or examination before any Tax Authority that is inconsistent with the Final Asset Allocation, unless required by a Final Tax Determination.

(i) Certain Tax Elections. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Buyers, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, in connection with any imputed underpayment resulting from any adjustment by any Tax Authority to any items of any Partnership Entity with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, such Partnership Entity shall make an election under Section 6226 of the Code (and any similar provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Law) with respect to the alternative to payment of imputed underpayment by the Partnership Entity, the applicable Sellers shall pay such Taxes as may be due with respect to any adjustment to a partnership-related item described in Section 6226 of the Code, and the Parties shall take any actions necessary to effectuate such election and prevent any such adjustment from adversely affecting Buyers and their respective Affiliates (including the Great American Entities after the Closing).

-51-

(j) Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal, state and local income Tax purposes, the Parties shall agree that (a) the Parties shall treat the purchase and sale of the Buyer Securities in exchange for the Base Cash Consideration pursuant to this Agreement, as a purchase and sale of partnership interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent permitted by applicable Law, and (b) the Company shall make (or have in place) a Section 754 election effective for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyers, Sellers and the Company (and their respective Affiliates) shall prepare and file all Tax Returns and conduct all Tax proceedings in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by applicable Law or pursuant to a Final Tax Determination.

(k) Coordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Section 8.06 shall not apply with respect to Tax Claims or Tax Proceedings, which shall be governed by Section 5.09(d).

(l) Tax Refunds. Except to the extent (i) reflected as an asset in Closing Liquidation Net Working Capital, Closing Real Estate Net Working Capital, Closing Valuation Net Working Capital, or Indebtedness on the Final Closing Statement, or (ii) attributable to a carryback of any item of loss, deduction, credit or other Tax attribute arising in any taxable period ending after the Closing Date into a taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, BR Financial shall be entitled to any refund actually received after the Closing Date by the Great American Entities with respect to Indemnified Taxes (for the avoidance of doubt, including refunds of withholding Taxes with respect to any direct or indirect distribution from GA Europe GmbH to BR Financial made prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(xviii), which withholding Taxes constitute Indemnified Taxes). Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) Business Days after actual receipt of any such refund, the Company shall deliver and pay over, or cause to be delivered and paid over, to BR Financial, the amount of such refund (including any interest paid thereon and reduced by any costs or expenses (including Taxes) incurred by any Great American Entity or any of its Affiliates with respect to such refund or claim for refund). To the extent any such refund is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Governmental Entity, BR Financial shall pay promptly to the Company the amount of such disallowed refund, together with any interest, penalties or other additional amounts imposed by such Governmental Entity.

At or prior to the Closing, Buyers shall deliver to BR Financial evidence of the purchase by Buyers of the RWI Policy, and shall further provide to BR Financial, substantially concurrent with delivery to the requisite parties under the RWI Policy, (i) a true, correct and complete copy of such RWI Policy and (ii) copies of all notices which relate to any claim or potential claim under the RWI Policy. Buyers agree that the RWI Policy shall provide that (a) the insurer shall irrevocably waive and not pursue, directly or indirectly, any claims against BR Financial or any of its Affiliates (by way of subrogation, claim for contribution or otherwise), other than in the case of Fraud by any such party and then only to the extent of such Fraud, and (b) Sellers shall be express third-party beneficiaries of such provision. Buyers shall not (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to) amend or modify in any respect, or otherwise novate, assign, waive or terminate, the provisions in clauses (a) and (b) of the immediately preceding sentence in a manner adverse to Sellers without the prior written consent of BR Financial. In no event shall the availability of or binding of the RWI Policy be a condition to Closing. Buyers, on one hand, and BR Financial, on the other hand, shall split equally the cost of the premiums, together with all Taxes and application fees, underwriting costs, brokerage fees, or similar fees or expenses in connection with the RWI Policy. Subject to Section 5.04(c), Sellers and the Great American Entities shall provide Buyers with such cooperation as is reasonably requested by Buyers and is reasonably necessary to be provided in obtaining and binding the RWI Policy, including additional diligence information to remove or limit any exclusions thereunder. On or prior to the Closing Date, BR Financial and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to negotiate and enter into an Escrow Agreement with Wilmington Trust, N.A. (or one of its affiliates), or another escrow agent reasonably acceptable to each of Buyers and BR Financial, to act as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), such Escrow Agreement to be on customary terms and conditions and on terms and conditions that are reasonably acceptable to each of Buyers and BR Financial. Buyers, on the one hand, and BR Financial, on the other hand, shall split equally the fees and expenses of the Escrow Agent incurred in connection with the Escrow Agreement.

Section 5.11 Insurance Coverage.

(a) As of the Closing Date, the coverage under all Insurance Policies (including all captive and self-insurance programs) shall continue in force for the benefit of BR Financial and its respective Affiliates only and shall cease with respect to any acts, events, facts, circumstances, matters, incidents or omissions involving the Great American Entities or the Businesses that occur on or after the Closing. Prior to the Closing, Buyer agrees that it shall be responsible for securing all insurance policies that it considers appropriate for the Businesses and the operation thereof by the Great American Entities following the Closing. Following the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, BR Financial shall reasonably cooperate with Buyers and the Company, at the Company’s request and expense, to facilitate the Company putting in place insurance policies in respect of the Great American Entities and the Businesses following the Closing. From and after the Closing, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, seek through any means to benefit from and not to assert any right, claim or interest in, to or under, any Insurance Policies, except as permitted under Section 5.11(b).

(b) From and after the Execution Date, for any claims arising from acts, events, facts, circumstances, matters, incidents or omissions involving the Great American Entities or the Businesses that arose prior to the Closing (“Pre-Closing Occurrences,” and such claims, “Qualifying Claims”), the Company shall continue to have access to the benefits available under any of BR Financial’s or its respective Affiliates’ occurrence-based Insurance Policies (excluding any “captive” insurance policy or self-insurance) (the “Occurrence-Based Policies”) to the extent such insurance coverage exists and provides coverage; provided that the Company shall reimburse BR Financial for any fees, costs or expenses (including any retro-premium adjustments) incurred by BR Financial or any of its Affiliates solely and to the extent as a result of, and shall bear the amount of any deductibles or net retentions associated with, any claim, including Qualifying Claims, by or on behalf of any of the Great American Entities under such policies. Upon the Company’s written request and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, BR Financial shall, or shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to make and pursue any Qualifying Claim under the applicable Occurrence-Based Policy; provided that such Qualifying Claim is eligible to be submitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Occurrence-Based Policy. To the extent that insurance proceeds in respect of any such Qualifying Claim are recovered by any Seller or its Subsidiaries, such Seller shall remit, or cause to be remitted, the amount of such proceeds to the Company promptly after such recovery.

-53-

(c) Buyers, the Company and BR Financial shall cooperate reasonably to maximize insurance recoveries under the Occurrence-Based Policies for the benefit of all Parties with respect to Pre-Closing Occurrences. In the event that a Qualifying Claim relates to the same occurrence for which BR Financial or one of its Affiliates is seeking coverage under Occurrence-Based Policies, where the limits under an applicable Occurrence-Based Policy are not sufficient to fund all covered claims of the Great American Entities and BR Financial or its Affiliates, amounts due under such Occurrence-Based Policy shall be allocated ratably and the Company shall be responsible for the retention or deductible amounts in proportion to the amounts recovered by it in respect of such Qualifying Claim.

Section 5.12 Commingled Contracts. Buyers acknowledge that Ultimate Parent and its Affiliates may be parties to certain Contracts (excluding all Benefit Plans) that relate to any of the Businesses, on the one hand, and the Other Businesses of Ultimate Parent and its Affiliates, on the other hand (such Contracts, the “Commingled Contracts”). Prior to the Closing and for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing, BR Financial shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, and following the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to (a) cause the applicable Commingled Contract to be apportioned (including, if necessary, by seeking the consent of such counterparty to enter into a new contract or amendment, splitting or assigning the rights and obligations under such Commingled Contract or establishing replacement contracts, contract rights, bids, purchase orders or other agreements) with respect to the Businesses between the applicable Great American Entity (or other Person designated by the Company), and with respect to the Other Businesses between Ultimate Parent or its Affiliates, and any third party which is a counterparty to a Commingled Contract, in each case as such terms are approved by Buyers (or, after Closing, the Company) in writing in advance, and (b) to the extent the actions contemplated by the foregoing clause (a) are not achieved, establish reasonable and lawful arrangements designed to provide the Company (or such Person as the Company nominates) the rights, benefits, obligations and burdens under such Commingled Contract to the extent related to the Businesses (and effectuate the intent of clause (a) to the fullest extent permitted by Law); provided, however, that BR Financial makes no representation or warranty that any third party will agree to enter into any such Contract, contract right, bid, purchase order or other agreement with the Company on the existing terms of the applicable Commingled Contract or at all; provided, further, that, to the extent compliance with this Section 5.12 would conflict with the obligations of the parties to the Transition Services Agreement (for instance, by causing a Commingled Contract to be separated in such a way that Services (as defined in the Transition Services Agreement) to be provided under the Transition Services Agreement can no longer be provided on the terms of the Transition Services Agreement), Buyers (or, after Closing, the Company) and BR Financial shall discuss and agree in good faith with respect to the appropriate treatment of the relevant Commingled Contract(s) in respect of such conflict. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 5.12 to the contrary, none of Buyers, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates shall be required to expend money (excluding the cost of Ultimate Parent’s and its Affiliates’ and their respective employees’ and Representatives’ time and efforts), commence any litigation or offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to fulfill its obligation under this Section 5.12.

Section 5.13 Intercompany Balances and Intercompany Agreements. Immediately prior to the Effective Time (or prior thereto, if so determined by BR Financial), all intercompany balances, receivables, payables and accounts between BR Financial and any of its Affiliates (other than the Great American Entities), on the one hand, and any Great American Entity, on the other hand, except for those listed in Section 5.13 of the Disclosure Letter, shall be settled or otherwise eliminated without any further Liability to the Great American Entities (including for Taxes or otherwise), in such a manner as BR Financial shall determine in its reasonable discretion (including, subject to Section 5.01(a)(xviii) and Section 5.01(e), if so determined by BR Financial, removing from any Great American Entity any or all Cash or funds from cash pools by means of dividends, distributions, contribution, the creation or repayment or refinancing of intercompany debt, increasing or decreasing of cash pool balances or otherwise). Intercompany balances and accounts solely among any of the Great American Entities shall not be affected by the above provisions of this Section 5.13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyers’ prior written consent shall be required for any such actions that are either (i) not undertaken in accordance with and as contemplated by the Pre-Closing Reorganization or (ii) would reasonably be expected to be materially adverse to the Great American Entities or Buyers. Immediately prior to the Closing (or prior thereto, if so determined by BR Financial), except for the Ancillary Agreements to be entered into in connection with this Agreement, any documents executed in connection with the Pre-Closing Reorganization and any arrangements, understandings or Contracts set forth in Section 5.13 of the Disclosure Letter, all Intercompany Agreements shall automatically be terminated without further payment or performance and cease to have any further force and effect, such that no party thereto shall have any further obligations or Liabilities therefor or thereunder (including for Taxes or otherwise); provided, that, if requested by the Buyers by no later than one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Great American Entities, on the one hand, and BR Financial and any of its Affiliates (other than the Great American Entities), on the other hand, shall execute such agreements or documents if necessary or appropriate to effectuate such termination (and such agreements or documents shall be reasonably acceptable to each of BR Financial and its Affiliates (other than the Great American Entities), on the one hand, and Buyers, on the other hand).

Section 8.04 Indemnification by the Company. Following the Closing until the applicable survival dates provided in Section 8.01(a), the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Seller Indemnified Parties, from and against any and all Losses actually incurred or suffered as the result of a breach by the Company of any post-Closing covenant or obligation of the Company contained in this Agreement to the extent required to be performed following the Closing.

Section 8.05 Limitations.

(a) The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses, net of the costs of collection and irrecoverable Taxes (“Third-Party Payments”). The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to recover any such insurance or other proceeds from third parties to the same extent such Indemnified Party would recover such proceeds if such Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder. If an Indemnified Party receives any Third-Party Payment with respect to any Losses for which it has previously been indemnified by an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party an amount equal to the lesser of (i) such Third-Party Payment or (ii) the amount of such previously indemnified Losses.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, but subject to Section 1.04(d), in no event shall any Indemnifying Party be required to indemnify, defend, hold harmless, pay or reimburse any Indemnified Party for Losses under this Article VIII to the extent such Losses were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts reflected in the Final Contribution Adjustment Amount.

-68-

(c) No Indemnified Party will be entitled to recover damages in respect of any claim under this Agreement or otherwise obtain indemnification (including under the RWI Policy) more than once in respect of the same Losses suffered. In the event that any circumstance gives rise to more than one right of claim or constitutes a breach of more than one covenant or agreement hereunder, the relevant party shall be entitled to be indemnified or make recovery only once in respect of any such Losses incurred.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability to an Indemnified Party in respect of, and Losses shall not include, any punitive, special or exemplary damages and (ii) no “multiple of profits” or “multiple of cash flow” or other similar valuation methodology or performance metric shall be used in calculating the amount of any Losses; provided, however, that such limitations on damages shall not apply to the extent sought by and awarded to a third party with respect to a Third-Party Claim for which an indemnification claim is brought.

(e) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this Article VIII in respect of any Loss which is contingent unless and until such contingent Loss becomes an actual liability that has been incurred or is due and payable; provided that this Section 8.05(e) shall not limit the ability of any Indemnified Party to submit a Claim Notice.

(f) Each Indemnified Party shall use reasonable best efforts to minimize and mitigate any indemnifiable Loss (other than any Loss that is a Tax), and if the Indemnified Party fails to do so, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to be indemnified, defended or held harmless for any portion of such Loss that reasonably could have been avoided had the Indemnified Party so complied.

(g) The amount of any Losses that are subject to indemnification under this Article VIII shall be (i) reduced by the amount of any cash Tax benefit actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a result of the Loss to which such indemnity payment relates in the taxable year in which such Loss is incurred (net of any costs, expenses or Taxes incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with obtaining such Tax benefit) and (ii) increased by any Taxes imposed on the Indemnified Party in connection with the receipt or accrual of the related payment or indemnity (in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii), as determined on a with-and-without basis). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any indemnity payment in respect of a Loss of the Company or any Great American Entity disregarded as separate from the Company for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, this Section 8.05(g) shall not apply.

(h) In no event will any Seller be liable for a breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement made by any other Seller; provided that, for purposes of this Section 8.05(h), pre-Closing breaches or failures to perform by any Great American Entity shall be attributable to, and be deemed breaches or failures by, BR Financial.

-69-

Section 8.06 Claim Procedures.

(a) All claims for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 8.06. A Person entitled to assert a claim for indemnification (a “Claim”) pursuant to this Section 8.06 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give the Indemnifying Party written notice of any such Claim (a “Claim Notice”), which notice shall include a description in reasonable detail, to the extent such information is available, of (i) the basis for, and nature of, such Claim, including the facts constituting the basis for such Claim, (ii) the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim to the extent known or a statement that the amount of Losses is not reasonably ascertainable and (iii) reasonable supporting documentation to the extent available. Any Claim Notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party, (A) in the case of a Claim in connection with any Action made or brought by any Person (other than a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party in connection with this Agreement) against such Indemnified Party (a “Third-Party Claim”), reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such potential Action (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days following the first (1st) date on which such Indemnified Party has knowledge of such potential Action), and (B) in the case of a Claim other than a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), reasonably promptly after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of the facts constituting the basis for such Direct Claim (but in no event more than twenty (20) Business Days following the first date on which such Indemnified Party has knowledge of such facts); provided, however, that no failure to give such prompt written notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnified Party shall cooperate with and provide to the Indemnifying Party such information under the Indemnified Party’s control as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request for the purposes of determining the validity of the allegations made in the Claim Notice and shall keep the Indemnifying Party reasonably informed of factual and procedural developments (including additional information which may come under the Indemnified Party’s control) in connection therewith. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indemnifying Party” means Buyers (in the case of a claim for indemnification by a Seller Indemnified Party) or Sellers (in the case of a claim for indemnification by a Buyer Indemnified Party).

(b) With respect to any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice with respect to such Third-Party Claim, to assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense with counsel of its choosing, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to control the defense of any Third-Party Claim if (i) the Third-Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory claim involving the Indemnified Party as a defendant, (ii) the matter that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim seeks the imposition of an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party, (iii) if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, the Third-Party Claim has been brought by or on behalf of any customer or supplier of the Business or a Governmental Entity or (iv) an actual or likely conflict of interest makes representation of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel inappropriate. The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is not controlling such defense shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it; provided that the Indemnifying Party will pay the costs and expenses of separate counsel for the Indemnified Party if, based on the reasonable opinion of legal counsel to the Indemnified Party reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, a conflict or potential conflict of interest exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim (including that one or more legal defenses or counterclaims may be available to such Indemnified Party or to other Indemnified Parties that are inconsistent with or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party); provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties in connection with any Third-Party Claim.

-70-

(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects not to control the defense of such Third-Party Claim or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may control the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choosing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel to the Indemnified Party if the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Third-Party Claim pursuant to this Article VIII. Buyers, Sellers and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including by retaining and providing to the Party controlling such defense records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim and making available employees on a mutually convenient basis for providing additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided that neither Party shall be required to furnish any such information which would (in the reasonable judgment of such Party upon advice of counsel) be reasonably likely to waive any privileges, including the attorney-client privilege, held by such Party or any of its Subsidiaries or violate any applicable Law or Order (provided, further, however, that such Party shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents and take such other reasonable action to permit such access, including entering into a joint defense or similar agreement). The Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, that is controlling such defense shall keep the other Party reasonably advised of the status of such Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith any recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) an Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement on behalf of the Indemnified Party of any Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party controls without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such settlement would (A) include a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liabilities or obligations with respect thereto, (B) not impose any non-monetary Liability or obligation (including any equitable remedies) on the Indemnified Party and (C) not involve a finding or admission of any wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party and (ii) an Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of a Third-Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party is providing indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(e) In the event of any conflicts between this Section 8.06 and Section 1.04, the provisions of Section 1.04 shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section 8.06 (other than this Section 8.06(e)) shall not apply with respect to any Tax Claim, Tax Proceeding or other Tax matters, which shall be governed by Section 5.09.

-71-

Section 8.07 Indemnification Payments.

(a) The Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of any Loss for which it is liable hereunder, in immediately available funds, to an account specified by the Indemnified Party no later than five (5) Business Days following any Final Determination of the claims set forth in the related Claim Notice; provided, however, that, with respect to any such payment required to be made by any Seller to any Buyer Indemnified Party, such Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the option, exercisable in its sole discretion, to elect for such payment obligation to be satisfied by means of an Equity Reduction in the amount of such Loss in lieu of a cash payment. Such Buyer Indemnified Party shall provide written notice to Sellers within five (5) Business Days of its election of an Equity Reduction in lieu of a cash payment (“Equity Reduction Notice”).

(b) “Equity Reduction” means, with respect to any Losses for which a Seller is liable hereunder, (i) first, a reduction to the amount of the then-due Class B Preferred Unpaid Yield (but not to less than zero) of any Class B Preferred Units owned by such Seller or its Affiliates in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such Losses, and (ii) to the extent the aggregate amount of Losses is not satisfied through the mechanism in clause (i), second

(A) a reduction to the amount of the then-outstanding Class B Preferred Unreturned Capital of the Class B Preferred Units owned by such Seller or its Affiliates equal to (1) (x) the amount of remaining Losses after accounting for clause (i) multiplied by (2) (y) the Seller Adjusted Liquidation Preference (z) divided by the Seller Adjusted Liquidation Preference plus the Common Fair Value and

(B) the surrender and forfeiture by such Seller or its Affiliates, and cancellation by the Company, of a number of Class A Common Units held by such Seller or its Affiliates (rounded to the nearest whole number) equal to (1) the amount of remaining Losses after accounting for clause (i) multiplied by (2) (x) the Common Fair Value (y) divided by the Seller Adjusted Liquidation Preference plus the Common Fair Value (3) divided by the Fair Value.

(c) “Seller Adjusted Liquidation Preference” means the aggregate amount of Class B Preferred Unreturned Capital of the Class B Preferred Units owned by such Seller as of the date of the Final Determination.

-72-

(d) “Common Fair Value” means the aggregate Fair Value of the Class A Common Units held by such Seller or its Affiliates. For purposes of Section 8.07, “Fair Value” means the “Fair Market Value” for a single Class A Common Unit as determined under the LLC Agreement as of the date of the Final Determination of the amount of Losses for which such Seller is liable hereunder; provided, that, notwithstanding any calculation to the contrary, the Fair Value of any Class A Common Unit shall never be less than $1 for purposes of the foregoing calculation. If BR Financial disagrees with the Fair Value ascribed to such Class A Common Units, it may object thereto in a notice delivered to the Company and Buyers no later than twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of such Equity Reduction Notice, which shall set forth BR Financial’s good-faith determination of Fair Value and reasonable detail regarding how its proposed Fair Value was determined (an “Equity Reduction Objection Notice”). If BR Financial fails to deliver an Equity Reduction Objection Notice within such twenty (20)-Business Day period, the Equity Reduction (and Fair Value reflected therein) shall be final and binding in all respects. If such Buyer Indemnified Party and BR Financial cannot agree on the Fair Value to be ascribed to the Class A Common Units held by Sellers or their its Affiliates within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of an Equity Reduction Objection Notice, then the Company may engage a nationally recognized banker or appraiser with expertise and experience in valuing businesses similar to the Company (an “Appraiser”), subject to BR Financial’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to determine the Fair Value of the Class A Common Units and the Appraiser’s determination shall control (absent manifest accounting or similar error). The Company, such Buyer Indemnified Party and Sellers shall, and shall cause their representatives to, submit such information or materials as may be reasonably requested by the Appraiser. The determination of the Appraiser in accordance with this Section 8.07(d) shall be in writing and set forth its determination of the Fair Value of the Class A Common Units, along with its analysis in reasonable detail and the basis and quantification. Except as provided below, such Buyer Indemnified Party, and the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, and in accordance with the percentage interests set forth on Schedule I.A hereto, shall each bear 50% of the costs, fees and expenses of the Appraiser; provided, that in the event the Appraiser’s determination of Fair Value is (i) greater than such Buyer Indemnified Party’s determination of Fair Value by 15% or more (but not less than such Seller’s determination of Fair Value by 15% or more), then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall bear 100% of such costs, fees and expenses of the Appraiser and (ii) less than BR Financial’s determination of Fair Value by 15% or more (but not greater than such Buyer Indemnified Party’s determination of Fair Value by 15% or more), then such Sellers shall bear 100% of such costs, fees and expenses.

(e) In the event that any Loss is incurred or suffered by an Indemnified Party in a currency other than U.S. Dollars, such foreign currency Loss shall be converted into U.S. Dollars based on the spot central bank rate in such other country for the conversion of such currency into U.S. Dollars in effect as of the date of Final Determination of the applicable claim.

(f) None of the Company, Buyers or Sellers will have any right to set off any unresolved claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII against any payment due pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement or any other Contract between Sellers or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyers or their Affiliates, on the other hand.

(g) Except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a Final Tax Determination, Sellers, Buyers, the Company, and their respective Affiliates shall treat any indemnification payments made under this Agreement (i) between any Buyer, on the one hand, and any Seller, on the other hand, as an adjustment to the Base Cash Consideration and (ii) between any Seller, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, as an adjustment to the assets contributed by the relevant Seller to the Company pursuant to the Company Contribution (it being understood that, for the avoidance of doubt, an Equity Reduction shall be treated as an adjustment to the assets contributed by the relevant Seller to the Company pursuant to the Company Contribution).

Section 8.08 Exclusive Remedy; Releases.

(a) All representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement are contractual in nature only and subject to the sole and exclusive remedies set forth herein. Other than in the case of Fraud or Willful Breach, the provisions of Section 1.04, this Article VIII and the RWI Policy shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified Parties for Losses to the extent arising out of or resulting from this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit any Party’s right to obtain specific performance or other injunctive relief in accordance with Section 9.04(d) and Section 9.04(e) or as expressly provided in an Ancillary Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no limitations (including any survival limitations and other limitations set forth in this Article VIII), qualifications or procedures in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify the ability of a Buyer Indemnified Party to make claims under or recover under the RWI Policy (it being understood that any matter for which there is coverage available under the RWI Policy shall be subject to the terms and limitations, if any, set forth in the RWI Policy) or an Indemnified Party to make claims pursuant to the Ancillary Agreements or claims for Fraud or Willful Breach. The provisions of this Article VIII constitute an integral part of the consideration given to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement and were specifically bargained for and reflected in the total amount of the Base Cash Consideration payable in connection with the Transactions.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, effective as of the Closing:

(i) Buyers, on behalf of themselves and the other Buyer Indemnified Parties (including the Great American Entities), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive, release, remise and forever discharge any and all rights, claims and Losses of any type that they have had, now have or might now or hereafter have against Sellers to the extent based on facts, circumstances, occurrences or omissions existing, occurring or arising at or prior to the Closing and relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transactions contemplated hereby, the Great American Entities or the Businesses; provided, however, that the foregoing release in this clause (i) will not cover and therefore will not affect any rights of Buyers or any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or any claims against Sellers for Fraud or Willful Breach. Buyers shall not make, and shall not permit Buyer Indemnified Parties (including the Great American Entities) to make, any claim or demand, or commence any proceeding asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any Seller with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to this Section 8.08(b)(i).

(ii) Sellers, on behalf of themselves and the other Seller Indemnified Parties, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive, release, remise and forever discharge any and all rights, claims and Losses of any type that they have had, now have or might now or hereafter have against Buyers and each of their Related Parties (including the Great American Entities) to the extent based on facts, circumstances, occurrences or omissions existing, occurring or arising at or prior to the Closing and relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Transactions contemplated hereby, the Great American Entities or the Businesses; provided, however, that the foregoing release in this clause (ii) will not cover and therefore will not affect any rights of Sellers or any Seller Indemnified Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, or any claims against Buyers or any of their Related Parties (including the Great American Entities) for Fraud or Willful Breach. Sellers shall not make, and shall not permit their Related Parties to make, any claim or demand, or commence any proceeding asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against any Buyer or their Related Parties with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to this Section 8.08(b)(ii).

Article IX

Miscellaneous and General

Section 9.01 Amendment; Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyers, BR Financial and the Company, or in the case of a waiver (and BR Financial shall have the right to grant a waiver on behalf of the other Sellers and, prior to the Closing, the Company), by the Party granting the waiver. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law except as provided in Article VIII.

Section 9.02 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including the reimbursement of Reimbursable Company Transaction Expenses and Reimbursable Buyer Transaction Expenses pursuant to Section 1.03(b)(iii) and Section 1.03(b)(iv), respectively) and any Ancillary Agreement, and whether or not the Transactions are consummated, all costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel and financial advisors, if any) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses.

Section 9.03 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same Agreement. The Parties understand and agree that delivery of a signed counterpart signature page to this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement by electronic mail in portable document format form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, shall constitute valid and sufficient delivery thereof and 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. No party to this Agreement or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic means to deliver a signature to this Agreement or any amendment or waiver hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of electronic means as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each Party hereto forever waives any such defense.

Section 9.04 GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE.

(a) This Agreement, and all Actions (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) would be required thereby.

(b) Each Party agrees that it shall bring any Action in respect of any claim based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement) exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and, if and only if such Court declines to exercise jurisdiction, the other courts of the State of Delaware or the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware and the appellate courts therefrom (in such order of priority, the “Chosen Courts”) and solely in connection with claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (except as otherwise provided in any Ancillary Agreement) (i) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (ii) waives any objection to the laying of venue in any such Action in the Chosen Courts, (iii) waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party hereto and (iv) agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Action in the manner provided in Section 9.05 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

(c) EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND CERTIFIES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.04.

(d) Irreparable damage would occur in the event that any covenant herein were not to be performed in accordance with its terms. Accordingly, subject to Section 9.04(e), each Party shall be entitled to seek one or more injunctions to prevent any breach of covenant and to enforce specifically this Agreement in the Chosen Courts, in addition to any other remedy to which such Party may be entitled at law or in equity. Each Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction (and the other Party hereby waives such requirement).

-76-

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.04(d), it is acknowledged and agreed that Sellers shall be entitled to seek, or receive a grant of, specific performance of Buyers’ obligations to exercise their rights to obtain the Equity Financing under the Equity Commitment Letter and to consummate the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and to cause the Transactions to occur at the Closing to be consummated, if and only if, (i) all of the conditions in Section 6.01 (Conditions to Each Party’s Obligation to Consummate the Transactions) and Section 6.02 (Conditions to Obligation of Buyers) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions shall be satisfied at the Closing); (ii) Buyers fail to consummate the Closing on the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to Section 1.02; (iii) the Sellers shall have confirmed in writing to Buyers that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01 (Conditions to Each Party’s Obligation to Consummate the Transactions) and Section 6.02 (Conditions to Obligation of Buyers) have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction of such conditions at the Closing) and that they irrevocably waive any unsatisfied condition in Section 6.03 (Conditions to Obligation of Sellers and the Company) and confirm that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing is funded, then the Sellers and the Company are ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing; and (iv) Buyers fail to consummate the Closing within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such confirmation.

Section 9.07 No Third-Party Beneficiaries; Non-Recourse.

(a) Except as provided in Section 5.08 (Director and Officer Indemnification), this Section 9.07 and Section 9.10 (Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representations; Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege), there shall be no third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements or any exhibit, annex or schedule hereto or thereto, and none of them shall confer on any Person other than the parties hereto and thereto any claim, cause of action, right or remedy.

Section 9.08 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, or the application of such provision, covenant or restriction to any Person or any circumstance is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision, covenant or restriction to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction and the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

Section 9.09 Interpretation; Construction.

(a) The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to an Annex, Exhibit, Section or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Annex, Exhibit, Section or Schedule to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

(b) If a term is defined as one part of speech (such as a noun), it shall have a corresponding meaning when used as another part of speech (such as a verb). The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural and vice versa. The rule known as the ejusdem generis rule shall not apply, and accordingly, general words introduced by the word “other” shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters or things. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, words importing the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. Currency amounts referenced herein are in U.S. Dollars. Any capitalized term used in any Schedule or Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning given to it as set forth in this Agreement. All accounting terms used herein and not expressly defined herein shall have the meanings given to them under GAAP. References to “written” or “in writing” include documents in electronic form or transmitted by email. A reference to information “made available,” “provided” or “delivered” to Buyers shall mean that such information was contained in the “Lincoln” virtual data room administered by or on behalf of Sellers and the Company and hosted on Datasite at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the Execution Date in connection with the Transactions. Except as the context otherwise requires, the Closing Contribution Adjustment Amount, the Final Contribution Adjustment Amount, the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount and the inputs used to calculate such amounts may be positive or negative.

-79-

(c) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all references in this Agreement to any Law include the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case as amended, re-enacted, consolidated or replaced from time to time, and in the case of any such amendment, re-enactment, consolidation or replacement, reference herein to a particular provision shall be read as referring to such amended, re-enacted, consolidated or replaced provision and shall also include, unless the context otherwise requires, all applicable guidelines, bulletins or policies made in connection therewith; provided that, for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specific date, references to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law as amended as of such date. Any reference to this Agreement means the Agreement as it may from time to time be amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent, in accordance with the terms hereof, and all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.

(d) Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days, such number shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. Whenever any action must be taken hereunder on or by a day that is not a Business Day, then such action may be validly taken on or by the next day that is a Business Day.

(e) Whenever this Agreement refers to a Seller and its respective Affiliates or Representatives, the phrase shall be interpreted as a reference to a Seller and its respective Affiliates, Representatives or Subsidiaries, in the context of an entity Seller, and as a reference to a Seller and his respective Affiliates or Representatives, in the context of an individual Seller.

(f) Each representation, warranty, covenant and condition herein shall be given full, separate and independent effect. The provisions hereof are cumulative.

Section 9.10 Waiver of Conflicts Regarding Representations; Non-Assertion of Attorney-Client Privilege.

(a) Conflicts of Interest. Buyers acknowledge that Sullivan & Cromwell LLP (“Prior Company Counsel”) has, on or prior to the Closing Date, represented BR Financial, the Great American Entities, other Affiliates of BR Financial, and their respective officers, employees and directors (each such Person, other than a Great American Entity, a “Designated Person”) in one or more matters relating to this Agreement (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement) (each, an “Existing Representation”), and that, in the event of any Post-Closing Matters (x) relating to this Agreement (including any matter that may be related to a litigation, claim or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement) and (y) in which Buyers or any of their Affiliates (including the Great American Entities), on the one hand, and one or more Designated Persons, on the other hand, are or may be adverse to each other (each, a “Post-Closing Matter”), the Designated Persons reasonably anticipate that Prior Company Counsel will represent them in connection with such matters. Accordingly, each of Buyers and the Great American Entities hereby (i) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any conflict of interest arising out of or relating to the representation by one or more Prior Company Counsel of one or more Designated Persons in connection with one or more Post-Closing Matters (the “Post-Closing Representation”) and (ii) agrees that, in the event that a Post-Closing Matter arises, Prior Company Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to Buyers or any of their Affiliates (including the Great American Entities), and even though Prior Company Counsel may (A) have represented the Great American Entities in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (B) be currently representing the Great American Entities.

-81-

(b) Attorney-Client Privilege. Each Buyer and each Seller (on behalf of itself, the Company and their respective Affiliates) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or expectation of client confidence with respect to any communication between any Prior Company Counsel, on the one hand, and any Designated Person or the applicable Great American Entity, on the other hand (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Designated Persons”), or any advice given to any Pre-Closing Designated Person by any Prior Company Counsel, in each case to the extent occurring during one or more Existing Representations (collectively, “Pre-Closing Privileges”) in connection with any Post-Closing Representation, including in connection with a dispute between any Designated Person and one or more of Buyers, the Great American Entities and their respective Affiliates, it being the intention of the Parties hereto that all rights to such Pre-Closing Privileges, and all rights to waive or otherwise control such Pre-Closing Privileges, shall be retained by the applicable Sellers, and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by Buyers or the Great American Entities, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 9.10(b). Furthermore, each Buyer and the Great American Entities (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that any advice given to or communication with any of the Designated Persons to the extent related to an Existing Representation or a Post-Closing Representation shall not be subject to any joint privilege (whether or not either of the Great American Entities also received such advice or communication) and shall be owned solely by such Designated Persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyers or a Great American Entity, on the one hand, and a third party other than a Designated Person, on the other hand, Buyers shall (and shall cause the applicable Great American Entity to) assert to the extent available, the Pre-Closing Privileges on behalf of the Designated Persons to prevent disclosure of Privileged Materials to such third party; provided, however, that such privilege may be waived only with the prior written consent of BR Financial, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

(c) Privileged Materials. All such Pre-Closing Privileges, and all communications and other documents of the Great American Entities or the Businesses solely to the extent containing any advice or communication that is subject to any Pre-Closing Privilege (“Privileged Materials”) shall remain the property of Sellers and, from and after Closing, none of Buyers or the Great American Entities shall have access to such Privileged Materials without BR Financial’s consent.

(d) Miscellaneous. Buyers hereby acknowledge that they have had the opportunity (including on behalf of their Affiliates and the Great American Entities) to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions in this Section 9.10, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Prior Company Counsel. This Section 9.10 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 9.10 may be amended, waived or modified without the prior written consent of BR Financial (on behalf of itself and B. Riley Advisory) and Prior Company Counsel affected thereby.

Section 9.11 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No Party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, by operation of Law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that Sellers may assign their rights to receive any portion of the Closing Cash Consideration or Post-Closing Adjustment Amount to any of their Affiliates without the consent of Buyers; provided, further, that Buyers may assign their rights or delegate their obligations to any Affiliate of Oaktree (including any funds or investment vehicles managed by Affiliates of Oaktree) following the Closing. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void.

-82-

Section 9.12 Fulfillment of Obligations. Any obligation of any Party to any other Party under this Agreement to take or perform an action, which obligation is performed, satisfied or fulfilled completely by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

Section 9.13 Sellers’ Representative.

(a) By executing this Agreement, each other Seller shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed BR Financial as its representative and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Seller with respect to this Agreement and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by BR Financial or any Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including the exercise of the power to: (i) give and receive notices and communications and receive and accept service of legal process in connection with any claim arising under this Agreement; (ii) agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders or otherwise handle any other matters described in Section 1.04; (iii) agree to, litigate, arbitrate, negotiate, resolve, enter into settlements and compromises of, and comply with orders of courts with respect to any claim made by Buyers or the Company arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions (subject to the limitations set forth herein); (iv) execute and deliver all documents necessary or desirable to carry out the intent of this Agreement and the Transactions (including Ancillary Agreements); (v) make all elections or decisions contemplated by this Agreement; (vi) engage, employ or appoint any agents or Representatives to assist BR Financial in complying with its duties and obligations as a representative of the other Sellers; (vii) defend, pursue and settle any indemnification or breach claims; and (viii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the good-faith judgment of BR Financial for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

(b) Buyers and the Company shall be entitled to deal exclusively with BR Financial on all matters relating to this Agreement and shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller by BR Financial, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller by BR Financial, as being fully binding upon such Person. Notices or communications to or from BR Financial shall constitute notices to or from each Seller. Any decision or action by BR Financial shall constitute a decision or action of all Sellers and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Person. No Seller shall have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the same. Subject to Section 9.13(c), the provisions of this Section 9.13(b), including the power of attorney granted hereby, are independent and severable, are irrevocable and coupled with an interest and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or more Seller, or by operation of Law.

-83-

(c) BR Financial shall not be liable to the other Sellers for actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent such actions shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted gross negligence or involved Fraud, intentional misconduct or bad faith (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel, accountants and other professionals and experts retained by any Seller or the Companies shall be conclusive evidence of good faith).

Section 9.14 Ultimate Parent Guarantee.

(a) As a material inducement to Buyers to enter into this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Ultimate Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Buyers the full and timely performance of all of the obligations of BR Financial, as primary obligor and not merely as a surety, under this Agreement and shall be jointly and severally liable with BR Financial for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of BR Financial under this Agreement (as it may be from time to time amended, modified or supplemented), including the consummation of the Closing and any indemnification obligations and the payment in full of all amounts to be paid by or on behalf of BR Financial hereunder in each case subject to the limitations and conditions contained herein (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The guarantee contained in this Section 9.14 (the “Ultimate Parent Guarantee”) is a continuing one and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full, and will be binding upon Ultimate Parent, its successors and permitted assigns.

(b) Ultimate Parent hereby agrees to comply, and cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with the covenants set forth in Section 5.01 (Interim Operations of the Business), Section 5.06 (Publicity), Section 5.07 (Employee Matters Covenant), Section 5.09(a) and 5.09(e) (Tax Matters), Section 5.15(b) (Use of Company Names) and Section 5.22 (Specified Agreements) of this Agreement as if it was BR Financial under such provisions.

(c) Ultimate Parent further acknowledges and agrees that no amendment, modification, release or extinguishment of BR Financial’s obligations or liabilities, whether by decree in any bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, shall affect the continuing validity of this guarantee, and no Buyer shall be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that BR Financial becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of any Buyer to so file shall not affect Ultimate Parent’s Liability under this Ultimate Parent Guarantee. If for any reason BR Financial shall fail or be unable to duly and punctually pay, observe, perform or discharge, or cause to be duly and punctually paid, observed, performed or discharged, any of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when required pursuant to this Agreement, Ultimate Parent shall duly and punctually pay or perform, or cause to be duly and punctually paid or performed, such Guaranteed Obligations. Ultimate Parent further agrees that the Ultimate Parent Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment, observance, performance and discharge when due and not of collection.

-84-

(d) Ultimate Parent hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Ultimate Parent Guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, failure to secure or perfect any security disinterest, dishonor and protest, notice of the incurrence of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other notices of any kind, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of BR Financial, and all suretyship defenses generally; provided that Ultimate Parent does not waive any defenses to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations that are available to BR Financial under the express terms of this Agreement (excluding, for the sake of clarity, any defenses arising from or relating to the matters specified in this Section 9.14(d)). Subject to the foregoing, the Liability of Ultimate Parent under this Agreement will, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and Ultimate Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of Ultimate Parent hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by: (i) any failure or delay of any Buyer to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against BR Financial, Ultimate Parent or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (each, an “Interested Person”), or to pursue any other remedy in such Buyer’s power whatsoever; (ii) any amendment, modification or waiver of, or any consent to any departure from the terms of, this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise entered into in connection herewith, or any change in the time, manner, place or terms of payment or performance, or any renewal or alteration of, any Guaranteed Obligation, or any Liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof; (iii) the addition, substitution or release of BR Financial or any other Interested Person to or from this Agreement or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise entered into in connection therewith; (iv) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding (or any consequences or effects thereof) affecting BR Financial, Ultimate Parent or any other Interested Person or any of their respective assets; (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which Ultimate Parent may have at any time against BR Financial any other Interested Person or any Buyer; or (vi) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Ultimate Parent or otherwise operate as a discharge of Ultimate Parent as a matter of law or equity (other than indefeasible payment, observance, performance and discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations).

(e) Ultimate Parent represents and warrants to each Buyer that: (i) it has all requisite organizational power and authority and has taken all organizational action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement (solely for purposes of this Section 9.14), (ii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Ultimate Parent and, when executed and delivered by Buyers and the other parties hereto, will constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Ultimate Parent enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception (solely for purposes of this Section 9.14) and (iii) the execution, delivery and performance by Ultimate Parent of this Agreement will not (A) violate the Organizational Documents of Ultimate Parent, (B) violate any Law applicable to Ultimate Parent, or (C) constitute a default by Ultimate Parent under any Contract to which it is a party, except for such violations, defaults or impositions that would not materially adversely affect, prevent or delay the ability of Ultimate Parent to perform the Guaranteed Obligations.

(f) Sections 9.01 through 9.09 and Section 9.11, and the definition of any defined terms used therein or herein, shall apply with respect to Ultimate Parent and this Ultimate Parent Guarantee mutatis mutandis (it being understood that Ultimate Parent’s consent is not needed for any amendments to or waivers in respect of any provision of this Agreement other than this Section 9.14).
