2.2No Assumption of Liability. Buyer does not, and will not, assume or be deemed to have assumed under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or by reason of any of the Transactions, be obligated or liable for, any Liabilities of Seller, its Affiliates, predecessors, successors, assignors or transferors, whether in connection with the Seller Licenses, the Transactions or otherwise that existed, arose or were incurred, or otherwise pertain to actions, events or circumstances occurring or existing prior to the Closing and all such Liabilities shall continue to be owed by Seller, its Affiliates, predecessors, successors, assignors and transferors. Buyer shall be liable for all Liabilities arising from and after the Closing out of or relating to the ownership, operation or use of the Seller Licenses from and after the Closing and executory obligations applicable to the holder of the Seller Licenses from and after the Closing, except as described in the immediately preceding sentence.

2.3Withholding Tax. Each Party shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted and withheld, from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law; provided, that the Party entitled to deduct and withhold shall provide at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the other Party of any intention to deduct and withhold on any payment to the Seller Parties (and to include in such notice the legal authority and the calculation method for the expected deduction or withholding).

2.4Right to Exclude Certain Licenses.

(a)During the period from the Effective Date until the Closing Date:

(i) Buyer, at its option, by written notice to the Seller Parties, may from time to time remove any one or more of (x) the Seller Licenses (an “Excluded License”), or (y) the Hawaii Lease Agreements that would otherwise constitute Extended Hawaii Lease Agreements (an “Excluded Hawaii Lease Agreement,” and, together with any Excluded License, an “Excluded Asset”) if (A) such Excluded Asset is Impaired; (B) there is any Order by any Governmental Authority (including the FCC Consent) that remains in effect two (2) Business Days prior to the earlier of (x) the end of the Initial Extension Period, or (y) the date on which all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7 have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at Closing, containing a condition that requires Buyer to divest such Seller License or any other FCC Authorization held by Buyer (any such impairment, a “Regulatory Impairment”); or (C) the FCC denies any 600 MHz Build-Out Showings or takes any action to terminate any of the 600 MHz Licenses and such denial or action remains in effect two (2) Business Days prior to prior to (x) the end of the Initial Extension Period, or (y) the date on which all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7 have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at Closing, or denies the separate extension requests filed in June 2025 with respect to certain 600 MHz Licenses, in each case, with respect to such Excluded Asset (each of clauses (A) through (C), a “Buyer Excluded Asset Event”); and

(ii)the Seller Parties, at their option, by written notice to Buyer, may from time to time remove any one or more of the Excluded Assets if such Excluded Asset is Impaired and the Impairment of such Excluded Asset would otherwise cause any of conditions to Buyer’s obligations to consummate the Transactions pursuant to Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 of this Agreement not to be satisfied (a “Seller Party Excluded Asset Event,” and, together with the Buyer Excluded Asset Events, the “Excluded Asset Events”); provided that no FCC action with respect to the 600 MHz Build-Out Extensions, 600 MHz Build-Out Obligations or 600 MHz Build-Out Showings shall trigger a Seller Party Excluded Asset Event.

(b)The Closing Purchase Price shall be reduced, with respect to each such Excluded Asset, by an amount equal to the portion of the Closing Purchase Price allocated to such Excluded Asset as set forth on

​

Exhibit A (each such individual allocated amount, the “Exclusion Reduction”); provided that, if Buyer is either (x) in breach of any Buyer Fundamental Representations, or (y) in breach of any other representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements set forth in this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, and such breach is the direct cause of any Seller License or Hawaii Lease Agreement to be excluded pursuant to this Section 2.4, then the Closing Purchase Price shall not be reduced by the Exclusion Reduction related to such Excluded Asset.

(c)In the event (1) all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7 have been satisfied or waived, other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, (2) one or more Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses are determined to be Impaired and (3) the Exclusion Reduction amounts associated with such Seller License or Hawaii License, together with all other Exclusion Reduction amounts, would not result in the Excluded Asset Materiality Threshold being exceeded, then:

(i)the portion of the Closing Purchase Price associated with such Seller License and/or Hawaii License that remain Impaired shall not be paid at Closing; and

(ii)if the Seller Parties cure such Impairment within ninety (90) days after any Seller Party becomes aware of such Impairment, such Excluded Asset shall be transferred to the Buyer Assignee Parties (or their designees) promptly following the date on which such Impairment is fully cured and subject to the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) with respect to such Excluded Asset, in exchange for the payment by the Seller Parties of the portion of the Closing Purchase Price allocated to such Seller License or Hawaii License as set forth in Exhibit A.

(d)The Parties understand and agree that for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 7.3(e), any Seller License or Hawaii License that would be deemed to be Impaired but for the provision of the cure period allowing for the Impairment to be cured shall, at the time that all other conditions set forward in ARTICLE 7 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing) be deemed to be Impaired.

(e)Removal of any Excluded Asset pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not affect any rights Buyer may have based on any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder with respect to any matter relating to such Seller License, Extended Hawaii Lease Agreement or any Seller License arising prior to notice by Buyer to the Seller Parties of the removal of the Seller License or Extended Hawaii Lease Agreement, as applicable, or prior to such Seller License or Extended Hawaii Lease Agreement, as applicable, being deemed an Excluded Asset, as the case may be.

2.5Tax Treatment. The Parties agree that extending the term of each Hawaii Lease Agreement for a period of ninety-nine (99) years qualifies as a sale for all applicable Tax purposes. The Parties agree to report the amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement in a manner consistent with such treatment unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any similar state, local or non-U.S. law.

2.6Pending Assignments.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Seller License that, as of the Effective Date, is subject to a pending assignment as set forth on Exhibit A to a Seller Party (or its Affiliates) and, as of the Closing Date, has not yet been assigned or transferred to such Seller Party (a “Pending Assignment License”) shall:

(i)be excluded from determining the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 7, including Section 7.2(d) and Section 7.3(e);

(ii)not be taken into consideration for purposes of the Closing Purchase Price, and the Closing Purchase Price shall be reduced, with respect to each such Pending Assignment License,

​

by an amount equal to the portion of the Closing Purchase Price allocated to such Pending Assignment License as set forth on Exhibit A;

(iii)not constitute a breach of any representation, warranty, or covenant set forth in this Agreement as a result of the assignment of such Pending Assignment Licenses to the Seller Parties not being consummated at or prior to the Closing; and

(iv)subject to the consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and receipt of all required Consents from the Governmental Authorities, be transferred to the Buyer Assignee Parties (or their designees) promptly following the consummation of the applicable assignment to a Seller Party, in exchange for the portion of the Closing Purchase Price allocated to such Pending Assignment License as set forth in Exhibit A.

(b)As of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, each of the Seller Parties, jointly and severally, hereby represents and warrants to Buyer with respect to each Pending Assignment License only the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.5(c), 3.7(a), 3.7(b), the first sentence of 3.7(c), 3.7(f), and 3.7(g), and no other representations or warranties are being made regarding the Pending Assignment License.

(c)Notwithstanding any other provisions to the contrary, if and to the extent that the subject matter of a representation or warranty in Article 3 relates to a Pending Assignment License in respect of a period during which such Pending Assignment License was not directly or indirectly owned by any Seller Party, such representation or warranty will be deemed not to apply, with respect to such applicable Pending Assignment Licenses during such period of Seller Party non-ownership.

(d)For the avoidance of doubt, any Seller License that is a Pending Assignment License for the purposes of this Section 2.6 shall not be treated as an Excluded License pursuant to Section 2.4.

(e)If (i) the 3.45GHz Licenses listed on Exhibit A-1 remain owned by a Seller Party at the Closing and the Omega LPA has been terminated at or prior to the Closing, or (ii) the Omega LPA is terminated after the Closing, then such 3.45GHz Licenses shall be treated as Seller Licenses and, subject to the terms of Section 2.4 hereof, Buyer shall pay in the aggregate to the Seller Parties an amount equal to $177,604,060.00 in respect of such 3.45GHz Licenses, as follows: in the case of clause (i), at the Closing, and in the case of clause (ii), within five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice from the Seller Parties of the termination of the Omega LPA to the Buyer Parties.

3.6Compliance with Laws; Permits; Contracts. Since the date set forth on Schedule 3.6 of the Seller Disclosure Letter with respect to each Seller License or Hawaii License representing such date that the Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses were first issued or transferred to the respective Seller Party or its Affiliates (the “Lookback Date”), the Seller Parties and their Affiliates have complied in all material respects with all Laws which are applicable to the Seller Licenses, the Hawaii Licenses or to the Seller Parties’ ownership, operation and holding thereof (including the Communications Act and all FCC Rules). Each Seller Party is in compliance with all applicable FCC-imposed performance and continuity-of-service requirements with respect to the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses held by such Seller Party and, since the Lookback Date, has timely filed with the FCC all material requisite notices with respect to that compliance. As of the Effective Date, no Seller Party nor any Affiliate of any Seller Party has received any written notice or communication from any Governmental Authority of non-compliance with any such Laws which has not been fully cured as of the Effective Date. The Seller Parties are qualified under the FCC Rules and the Communications Act to hold the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses and, subject to the receipt of the Required Regulatory Approvals and any post-Closing notifications required by the FCC, convey the Seller Licenses to the Buyer Assignee Parties. The Seller Parties and their Affiliates possess all material Permits necessary for the lawful ownership of the Seller Licenses and are in material compliance with all such Permits.

3.7FCC Matters.

(a)The Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses are validly held in the applicable Seller Party’s name as shown on Exhibit A, and, except with respect to the Seller Licenses as contemplated by any Pre-Closing Spectrum Lease, no other Person has any right, title or interest in or with respect to any Seller License or Hawaii License. Since the Lookback Date, each Seller License and Hawaii License has met all performance requirements necessary to obtain renewals. As of the date hereof, there are no existing applications, petitions to deny or complaints or proceedings pending or, to such Seller Party’s Knowledge, threatened, before the FCC or any other tribunal, Governmental Authority relating to any of the Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses or which otherwise will or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect any such Seller License or Hawaii License, other than proceedings affecting the wireless telecommunications industry, 3.45 GHz licenses generally, 600 MHz licenses generally or the license types leased pursuant to the Hawaii Lease Agreement generally. Since the Lookback Date and as of the date hereof, no Governmental Authority has, to such Seller Party’s Knowledge, threatened to terminate, fail to renew or suspend any of such Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses.

(b)Schedule 3.7(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list in all material respects of the 600 MHz Build-Out Obligations applicable to the 600 MHz Licenses. All 600 MHz Build-Out Showings filed with the FCC as of the Effective Date are true, correct and complete in all material respects. As of the date hereof, there is no event, condition or circumstance which would reasonably be expected to preclude any Seller License from being renewed in the ordinary course. The Seller Licenses and Hawaii Licenses (x) were granted or renewed on the dates specified on Exhibit A and (y) will expire on the expiration dates specified on Exhibit A. Exhibit A also sets forth, with respect to each Seller License and each Hawaii License, the true and correct (subject to de minimis inaccuracies) (i) FCC call sign, (ii) authorized frequencies, (iii) geographic market area and (iv) frequency block.

(c)Each Seller License and Hawaii License is a regular license and not an experimental, special temporary, demonstration or developmental authorization issued by the FCC. Schedule 3.7(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter sets forth a complete and accurate description, in all material respects, of all services being provided by the Seller Parties under the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses, and all other

​

activities for which the Seller Parties are using the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses. Except as contemplated by any Pre-Closing Spectrum Lease, since June 14, 2025, each Seller Party has continued to provide services and radiate a radiofrequency signal in the applicable geographic area designated on Exhibit A for any 600 MHz License at least to the extent required by Section 27.14 of the FCC Rules, and each Seller Party has not had a Permanent Discontinuance of Service with respect to any 600 MHz License.

(d)Since the Lookback Date, the Seller Parties and their Affiliates have performed in all material respects all of their respective obligations required to have been performed under the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses. There is no material Default under any Seller License or any Hawaii License, nor has any Seller Party received any written notice of any such Default, which permits or, after notice or lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to permit revocation, cancellation, non-renewal, suspension or adverse modification of any Seller License or Hawaii License, or which might adversely affect the rights of any Seller Party or Buyer under any Seller License or Hawaii License. Each Seller License and Hawaii License is valid and in full force and effect without condition (except conditions applicable to holders of 3.45 GHz licenses generally, 600 MHz licenses generally or the license types leased pursuant to the Hawaii Lease Agreement generally), has been granted or renewed by the FCC by Final Order and authorizes, without further Consent from the FCC, construction and operation in the geographic area designated on Exhibit A.

(e)All reports and other documents required to be filed by the Seller Parties or their Affiliates with the FCC or other Governmental Authorities with respect to the Seller Licenses have been timely filed and are complete and correct in all material respects. No Seller Party nor any of its Affiliates has made any material misstatements of fact, or omitted to disclose any material fact, to any Governmental Authority or in any material report, document or certificate filed therewith.

(f)There is no debt or other payment existing, outstanding, or owing to the FCC or any Governmental Authority with respect to any Seller License or Hawaii License or by reason of the ownership or operation thereof. All payments, debts, fees and contributions required to be paid to the FCC or any other Governmental Authority by the Seller Parties or their Affiliates with respect to the Seller Licenses and the Hawaii Licenses have been timely paid. No unjust enrichment payments will be assessed by reason of the application of Section 1.2111 of the FCC Rules to the assignment of the Seller Licenses contemplated hereunder.

(g)As of the Effective Date, no Seller License or Hawaii License has been modified in any material respect, including through disaggregation or partition, and there is no pending or planned application or request by the Seller Parties to modify the Seller Licenses.

All such information provided pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall be subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in ARTICLE 6 hereof.

(b)Post-Closing Access. Subject to applicable Law, from and after the Closing and until the date that is seven (7) years from the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall retain, or cause to be retained, and, subject to the Access Restrictions, shall provide or make available, or cause to be provided or made available, to Buyer, at Buyer’s cost, as promptly as reasonably practicable after written request therefor, any books, records and other information (or a copy thereof) in the possession or under the control of any such Seller Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that such requested information (i) is available in the ordinary course of business and reasonably relates to the Seller Licenses or the Hawaii Licenses (solely to the extent related to the period prior to the Closing), and (ii) is reasonably required by Buyer (or its Affiliates’) to comply with any obligation imposed by applicable Law or any Governmental Authority.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Party hereto nor any of its Affiliates shall make any filing with the FCC that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the Seller Licenses or the Hawaii Licenses.

(b)The FCC Assignment Applications, FCC Lease Notifications, and any supplemental information furnished in connection therewith shall be in substantial compliance with the FCC Rules for filing such applications, and shall contain such showings, information and requests for waivers as shall be reasonably appropriate.

(c)To the extent permitted by applicable Law and subject to the confidentiality obligations in ARTICLE 6, the Seller Parties, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall (i) furnish to the FCC all information required for inclusion in the FCC Assignment Applications, FCC Lease Notifications, and any other application or filing to be made by it in connection with the Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable and in accordance with Section 5.3(a); (ii) keep the other Party promptly apprised of all material communications (and provide each other with copies of all written communications) with any Governmental Authorities and the status of other matters relating to completion of the Transactions; (iii) promptly deliver to the other Party any notice, inquiry or requests for additional or supplemental information received by it from the FCC or any Governmental Authority with respect to any of the filings made pursuant to Section 5.3(a), the Seller Licenses or any other aspect of the Transactions or any other Transaction Document except for any such communications or information provided by the Department of Defense with respect to 3.45 GHz license coordination; (iv) cooperate in good faith with the other Party in formulating a response to any such notice, inquiry or request indicated in clause (iii) of this Section 5.3(c); (v) as promptly as practicable, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and applicable Law, comply with any such notice, inquiry or request indicated in clause (iii) of this Section 5.3(c) and provide any additional or supplemental information available and reasonably requested in connection with any filings made hereunder; (vi) consult and cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with, and provide each other with reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon (and each will consider in good faith the comments of the other in connection with), any filing, registration, declaration, notice, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, proposal or other communication, oral or written, made or submitted to any Governmental Authority regarding the Transactions; and (vii) consult with the other Party in advance of any meeting or material communications with any Governmental Authority relating to the Transactions. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, no Party or its Affiliates shall participate in any meeting or discussion expected to address substantive matters related to the Transactions, either in person or by telephone (or otherwise remotely), with any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions unless, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, it provides the other Party with reasonable advance notice and a reasonable opportunity to attend and participate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, after reasonable consultation with the Seller Parties, including without limitation providing the Seller Parties with reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment, and considering in good faith the Seller Parties’ reasonable comments, Buyer shall have the right to (x) direct all matters with respect to seeking to obtain any authorization, consent, order, or approval, and making any filing, under any applicable antitrust, competition, telecommunications, foreign investment, or similar applicable laws relating to the Seller Licenses or the Transactions, including the right to direct the strategy before the antitrust and telecommunication authorities and any antitrust or telecommunications defense of the Transactions, and (y) determine whether to (A) withdraw and refile any filing under the HSR Act in connection with the Transactions and (B) commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period or enter into similar timing agreement with respect to the Transactions, and the

​

Seller Parties shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, take all reasonable actions to support Buyer in connection with effectuating the matters and determinations described in clauses (x) and (y).

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require (A) Buyer or any of its Affiliates to (1) propose, negotiate, offer to take, offer to commit to take, refrain from taking, take or commit to take any action or agreeing to any contractual or other concessions with, or any restriction or condition imposed by, any Governmental Authority (including any divestiture or agreement to hold assets separate) that relates to (I) the assets, businesses, properties, financial condition or results of operations of Buyer Parent and its Affiliates, or (II) the Seller Licenses and Hawaii Lease Agreements, provided, however, that with respect to matters included in this clause (II), Buyer shall only be required to accept such actions, conditions, restrictions, or concessions that would result in a Seller License or Hawaii License being subject to a Regulatory Impairment that does not result in an aggregate Exclusion Reduction exceeding the Excluded Asset Materiality Threshold, (2) refrain from entering into, alter or abandon any of Buyer’s or any of its Affiliates’ existing or future transactions with any other Person, including any lease or acquisition of other FCC licenses or spectrum rights (or businesses or Persons that own such lease, license or rights), (3) make any payments to any Governmental Authority (other than ordinary and customary application or filing fees) or (4) amend or modify any existing Contract of Buyer, or enter into any new Contract with the Seller Parties or any other third party, provided, however, that with respect to the NaaS Agreement, Buyer shall be required to accept (i) the codification of the NaaS Agreement into an Order and (ii) conditions and modifications that are, in the aggregate, de minimis (any such action or event, a “Buyer Regulatory Adverse Effect”) or (B) any Seller Party or any of its Affiliates to propose, negotiate, offer to take, offer to commit to take, take or commit to take any action if such action relates to the assets, businesses, properties, financial condition or results of operations of Seller and its Affiliates; provided, however, that any Seller Party shall be required to take all actions and agree to all conditions as may be necessary or appropriate to consummate the Transactions as may be required by the FCC or any other Governmental Authority unless such actions or conditions would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the assets, businesses, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the wireless and direct to devices businesses of Seller and its Affiliates, taken as a whole, after giving effect to the Transactions (a “Seller Regulatory Adverse Effect” and, together with a Buyer Regulatory Adverse Effect, a “Regulatory Adverse Effect”). For the avoidance of doubt, neither (i) any Seller Party’s non-receipt of any Seller Additional FCC Waiver nor (ii) any Excluded Asset Event shall constitute a Regulatory Adverse Effect.

(e)Except as set forth in Section 5.4 below, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or limit in any way, or impose any obligation with respect to, or impose any condition upon, the right or ability of either Party or any of their respective Affiliates to enter into a spectrum license auction or acquire spectrum licenses at auction, or to acquire, sell, lease or take any other action with respect to spectrum licenses.

​

(iii)perform all of its obligations required to be performed under the Seller Licenses or the Hawaii Licenses;

(iv)to the extent required by the FCC or the Department of Justice, continue in all material respects to provide at least the same amount of signal coverage and offer service to at least the same geographic area, in each case, where they are provided as of the Effective Date until five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing; and

(b)Except as (x) expressly set forth in Schedule 5.4(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, (y) required by applicable Law, Order or any Governmental Authority, or (z) otherwise expressly permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement (including as contemplated by the Pre-Closing Spectrum Leases), the Seller Parties and their Affiliates shall not, without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed):

(i)directly or indirectly transfer, sell, lease, license, sublease, sublicense, grant rights with respect to, transfer or otherwise dispose of, mortgage or pledge, or impose or suffer to be imposed any Lien on, any of the Seller Licenses or Hawaii Licenses or any interest therein;

(b)The Seller Parties shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after becoming aware thereof, notify Buyer of any fact, circumstance, occurrence, condition, act, event, omission, notice or inquiry with respect to the Seller Licenses that has had, or would reasonably be expected to, result in any Impairment of any of the Seller Licenses or the Hawaii Licenses.

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION AND OTHER MATTERS

9.1Survival. All of the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties and Buyer contained in Section 2.6(b), ARTICLE 3 and ARTICLE 4 and all covenants and agreements of the Seller Parties and Buyer contained in this Agreement to be performed prior to the Closing Date shall survive the Closing hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, except that (a) the Seller Fundamental Representations and the Buyer Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, and (b) all claims relating hereto for Fraud and the Seller Bondholder Liabilities shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until all statutes of limitations applicable thereto have expired (collectively, the “Indemnity Period”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement which is the subject of a claim for indemnification which is asserted in writing prior to the expiration of the Indemnity Period, as well as the covenants and agreements in this ARTICLE 9 providing for indemnification with respect thereto, shall survive with respect to such claim for indemnification until the final resolution thereof and the right of the Claimant to recover from the Indemnifying Party shall not be dependent upon such claim being resolved or the Losses being incurred within the Indemnity Period. Any investigations by or on behalf of either Party hereto (whether before or after the Closing) shall not constitute a waiver as to enforcement of any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no notice or information delivered, provided or made available by either Party, including any amendment, modification or update to any exhibit or schedule to this Agreement after the Effective Date, shall affect any other Party’s right to rely on any representation, warranty, or covenant made by such Party in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or relieve such Party of any obligations under this Agreement as the result of a breach of any of its representations and warranties. All covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Closing Date shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect until the full performance thereof or as otherwise provided herein.

9.2Indemnification by the Seller Parties. The Seller Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of any and all of the foregoing (the “Buyer Indemnified Persons”), from and against any and all Losses actually incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with or relating to (a) the breach of any of the representations or warranties made by any Seller Party in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; provided that, in each case, if any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.6, Section 3.7 and Section 3.9 made by the Seller Parties includes the qualifier “as of the Effective Date”, such qualifier shall be disregarded solely for purposes of this ARTICLE 9, (b) the breach by any Seller Party of any of its covenants or agreements made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and (c) any Losses arising out of, in connection with or relating to (1) the ownership, use or operation of the Seller Licenses prior to the Closing and (2) the Seller Bondholder Liabilities.

9.3Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller Parties and their Affiliates, and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and the shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, partners, employees and agents of any and all of the foregoing (the “Seller Indemnified Persons”), from and against any and all Losses actually incurred or suffered by any Seller Indemnified Person arising out of, in connection with or relating to (a) the breach of any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in this

​

Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, (b) the breach by Buyer of any of its covenants or agreements made pursuant to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and (c) any Losses arising out of, in connection with or relating to the ownership, use or operation of the Seller Licenses after the Closing.

9.4Procedure for Indemnification. The procedure for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 shall be as follows:

(a)Promptly after any event, circumstance, development, state of facts or occurrence (or obtaining knowledge thereof) that results or is reasonably likely to result in an indemnity claim under this Article 9, the Party seeking indemnification under this ARTICLE 9 (the “Claimant”) shall give to the Party obligated to provide indemnification to such Claimant (the “Indemnifying Party”) a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) of any claim, whether between the Parties (a “Direct Claim”) or brought by a third Person (a “Third-Party Claim”), describing the facts and circumstances in reasonable detail giving rise to any claim for indemnification hereunder, the basis for any anticipated Liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the estimated amount and the method of computation of the estimated amount of such claim. If the claim is a Third-Party Claim (including a claim that relates to any Litigation filed by a third Person against Claimant), such notice shall be given by Claimant to the Indemnifying Party within fifteen (15) days after written notice of such Third-Party Claim is received by Claimant. The failure to timely give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been prejudiced by such failure. After the giving of any Claim Notice pursuant hereto, the amount of indemnification to which Claimant shall be entitled under this ARTICLE 9 shall be determined: (i) by the written agreement between the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) by an Order of any court of competent jurisdiction.

(b)With respect to Direct Claims, following receipt of a Claim Notice from the Claimant, the Indemnifying Party shall have sixty (60) days to make such investigation of the Direct Claim as the Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable and, in the case of a Third-Party Claim, to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Claimant at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense of such Third-Party Claim by notifying the Claimant in writing of such assumption of control; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall allow the Claimant a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim with the Claimant’s own counsel and at the Claimant’s own expense, subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense and settlement thereof. For the purposes of such investigation, the Claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives the information, to the extent such information is under the Claimant’s possession or control, relied upon by the Claimant as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to substantiate the claim. The Claimant shall cooperate and assist the Indemnifying Party and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, in each case, to the extent such information is under the Claimant’s possession or control, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party or its counsel in connection with such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party and the Claimant shall use reasonable best efforts to (A) avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable Law) to third parties and (B) cause all communications among employees, counsel and others representing any party to a Third-Party Claim to be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work product privileges. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend such Third-Party Claim diligently to final conclusion or settlement of such Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without prior written consent of the Claimant (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim on a basis that would reasonably be expected to result in (i) injunctive or other nonmonetary relief against the Claimant, including the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Claimant, (ii) a finding or admission of fault or

​

misconduct by the Claimant or (iii) the monetary relief being sought is in excess of the amount that the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Claimant for.

(c)If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of such sixty (60) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay to the Claimant the full amount of such Direct Claim. If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party do not agree within such sixty (60) day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof), the Claimant may then seek all appropriate remedies at law or equity available to the Claimant to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

(d)Any claim for indemnity pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 with respect to which (i) the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party agree as to its validity and amount, (ii) an Order of a court of competent jurisdiction deciding such claim has been rendered, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party has not given written notice to the Claimant disputing and/or assuming the conduct and control of such claim in whole or in part within sixty (60) days of receiving a Claim Notice thereof, is referred to as a “Settled Claim”.

(e)If the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 9.4, then the Claimant shall have the right to conduct and control, through counsel of its choosing, the defense, compromise or settlement of any Third-Party Claim against such Claimant as to which indemnification will be sought by any Claimant from any Indemnifying Party hereunder. The Indemnifying Party shall cooperate and assist the Claimant and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, in each case, to the extent such information is under the Indemnifying Party’s possession or control, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested by the Claimant or its counsel in connection with such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may participate, through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense, in the defense of any Third-Party Claim as to which the Claimant has so elected to conduct and control the defense thereof. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Claimant shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third-Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Claimant shall have the right to pay, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without such consent; provided that, in such event, the Claimant shall waive any right to indemnity hereunder.

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense and control of, and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by, the Claimant in connection with a Third-Party Claim as they are incurred if: (i) any Third-Party Claim against any Claimant relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (ii) such Third-Party Claim seeks non-monetary relief which, if granted, could adversely affect the Claimant, and that after conferring with its outside counsel, cannot be readily separated from any related claim for money damages (provided, that if such equitable relief or other relief portion of the Third-Party Claim can be so separated from that for money damages, shall be entitled to assume the defense of the portion relating to money damages), or (iii) the Claimant has been advised in writing by outside counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Claimant.

(g)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Party or any of their Affiliates have any rights with respect to any audit, examination, contest, proceeding or other Litigation relating to Taxes or any Tax Return of any other Party or any of its Affiliates or any Taxes or Tax Returns of or with respect to any consolidated, combined, affiliated, aggregated, unitary or similar group for Tax purposes that includes any such Party or any of its Affiliates (including by reason of any Person being treated as an entity disregarded as separate from such Party or such Affiliate for Tax purposes), in each case, other than solely with respect to any Taxes with respect to any Seller License or Hawaii License.

9.5Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,

​

​

(a)neither the Seller Parties nor Buyer, as the case may be, shall be liable for any claim for indemnification (i) in the case of the Seller Parties, pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (solely with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations) or Section 9.2(b), or (ii) in the case of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b) (solely with respect to the Buyer Fundamental Representations), in an aggregate amount in excess of the Closing Purchase Price at any time;

(b)neither the Seller Parties nor Buyer, as the case may be, shall be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (other than with respect to the Seller Fundamental Representations) or Section 9.3(a) (other than with respect to the Buyer Fundamental Representations), as applicable, in an aggregate amount in excess of the amount that is equal to eight percent (8%) of the Closing Purchase Price;

(c)with respect to any claims for indemnification pursuant to (i) in the case of the Seller Parties, pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.2(b), or (ii) in the case of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or Section 9.3(b), the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons, as the case may be, shall not be entitled to indemnification for any claim thereunder unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses for which the Seller Parties or Buyer, as applicable, would, but for this clause (c), be liable thereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to 0.5% of the Closing Purchase Price (the “Deductible”), and thereafter the Seller Parties and Buyer, as the case may be, shall be liable only for the amount of Losses in excess of the Deductible; and

(d)neither the Buyer Indemnified Persons nor the Seller Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnification for any particular Loss pursuant to Section 9.2(a), Section 9.2(b), Section 9.3(a), or Section 9.3(b), as the case may be, unless such Loss (or series of related Losses) equals or exceeds $250,000; provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply to Losses arising from claims for breaches of any Seller Fundamental Representation or Buyer Fundamental Representation, as the case may be.

9.6Losses Net of Insurance, etc. The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 shall be net of (a) any amounts actually recovered by the Seller Indemnified Person or the Buyer Indemnified Person (as the case may be) (net of any reasonable and documented costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) pursuant to any indemnification by, contribution, reimbursement, indemnification agreement with any Person (other than this Agreement) or any other recovery proceeds relating to the such Loss, and (b) any insurance proceeds (net of any reasonable and documented costs of investigation of the underlying claim and of collection) actually received as an offset against such Loss (each source of recovery referred to in clauses (a) and (b), a “Collateral Source”). If the amount to be netted hereunder in connection with a Collateral Source from any payment required under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 is received after payment by the Person required to indemnify under this ARTICLE 9 of any amount otherwise required to be paid to a Claimant, the Claimant shall repay to the Person required to indemnify, promptly after such receipt, any amount that would not have been payable pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 had such receipt occurred at the time of such payment. The Seller Indemnified Persons and the Buyer Indemnified Persons (as the case may be) shall take commercially reasonable steps to the extent required by New York law to mitigate any Losses as soon as reasonably practicable after such Claimant becomes aware of any event which does, or could reasonably be expected to, give rise to any such Losses.

9.7Payments. Within ten (10) Business Days of any claim under this ARTICLE 9 becoming a Settled Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the Claimant the full amount of such Settled Claim by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Claimant. Any payment made pursuant to this Section 9.7 shall, for Tax purposes, be deemed to be an adjustment to the consideration payable to the Seller Parties.

9.8 No Consequential Damages; Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, in no event shall either Party hereto be liable hereunder for Losses for lost profits or that are consequential, incidental, special or punitive (except to the extent payable by a Claimant to a third Person) and following the Closing indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 shall be the exclusive and sole remedy of the Parties for any Loss arising out of or related to the Transactions, except as contemplated by Section 11.8. Neither of the Buyer

​

Indemnified Persons nor the Seller Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to recover damages or obtain payment, reimbursement, restitution or indemnity more than once in respect of any one Loss or related group of Losses.

11.3Assignment; Benefit and Binding Effect. Neither Party hereto may assign this Agreement directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other Party hereto; provided, however, that Buyer may, without the consent of the other party, assign any and all of its rights hereunder to any Affiliate that is wholly owned by it or by a common parent; provided that (a) such assignment would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the Closing; (b) such assignee shall assume all of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement; and (c) such assignment shall not relieve Buyer of their obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except for the Buyer Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons set forth in Sections 9.2 and 9.3, the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the exclusive benefit of the Parties hereto (and their successors and permitted assigns) and shall not be for the benefit of any other Person.

​

11.4No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 11.15 (with respect to the Non-Recourse Parties), a Person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right to enforce any of its terms and this Agreement is not intended to give any Person other than the Parties their permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

11.5Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, including its statute of limitations, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provisions to the extent that the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

11.6Submission to Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

(a)The Parties agree that the courts of the State of New York, sitting in New York County, and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate courts from any thereof shall have exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or Default hereunder, or the Transactions and any and all Litigation related to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the such courts. The Parties agree to unconditionally and irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts the resolution of any such claim or dispute.

(b)The Parties hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby brought in any court specified in Section 11.6(a) above, or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c)Each of the Parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by the other Party to this Agreement in any Litigation by the mailing of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.2.

11.7Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THAT EITHER MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION, OR IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTY HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 11.7.

11.8Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the Seller Licenses are unique and irreplaceable and that the other Party would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with the their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone and that, in addition to any other right or remedy to which a Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, it shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree or order of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Each of the Parties further hereby waives any defense in any action for specific performance that (i) a remedy at law for monetary damages would be adequate, (ii) the equitable remedy for specific performance is unavailable, invalid, unenforceable or inequitable and (iii) any requirement under any Law to post bond or other security as a prerequisite for obtaining equitable relief.

11.9Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto collectively represent the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings and agreements among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Each Party hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that they have participated in the drafting of this Agreement and any ambiguity shall not be construed against either

​

Party as the drafter of this Agreement. Each Party hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are independent of, and not in any way conditioned on, connected to, or to be construed with, any other agreement, understanding or arrangement, written or oral between the Parties.

11.10Amendments; Waivers. No amendment, alteration, modification or change of this Agreement shall be valid except by agreement in writing that makes specific reference to this Agreement that is signed by a duly authorized officer of the Parties hereto. Any failure of either Party hereto to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition herein or any Default in the performance of any term of this Agreement by either Party hereto may be waived by the other Party hereto or the time for performance waived or extended only by a written instrument signed by the Party granting such waiver. The failure of either Party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the same or any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any condition or of the breach of any term contained in this Agreement in one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of such condition or breach or a waiver of any other condition or of the breach of any other term of this Agreement.

11.11Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts which may be delivered by electronic mail, each of which shall be considered an original instrument, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become binding when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties hereto and delivered to each of the other Parties hereto.

11.12Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Law.

11.13Further Assurances. After the Closing, the Parties to this Agreement will, and will cause their Affiliates to, execute any further documents consistent with the Transaction Documents, provide any further reasonably available information, and take any other reasonable actions not imposing significant financial or operational obligations in excess of the other obligations imposed by the Transaction Documents, upon the request of the other Party to this Agreement based upon any such other Party’s reasonable determination that those actions are required or necessary to enable such other Party to effectuate the Transactions. Such efforts shall be at the cost of the requesting Party; provided, that nothing contained in this Section 11.13 will require any Party to take any action or do anything contrary to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

11.14Rules of Construction. Words used in this Agreement, regardless of the gender and number specifically used, shall be deemed and construed to include any other gender and any other number as the context requires. Whenever the words “include”, “includes”, or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed followed by the words “without limitation” and/or “but not limited to”, and the word “or” is not exclusive as used in this Agreement. The words “will” and “shall” shall be deemed to have the same meaning and be understood to denote a director and obligation, not an option. Except as specifically otherwise provided in this Agreement in a particular instance, a reference to a Section is a reference to a Section of this Agreement, a reference to an Exhibit is a reference to an Exhibit to this Agreement, and a reference to a Schedule is a reference to a Schedule to this Agreement. The terms “hereof,” “herein” and other like terms refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement, and not solely to any particular part of this Agreement. Except as otherwise specified, (i) references to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law as amended from time to time and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, (ii) references to any Governmental Authority shall include any successor agency of such Governmental Authority, and (iii) references from or through any date mean from and including or through and including, respectively. The descriptive headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to a “Party” or the “Parties” shall refer to the Seller Parties, on the one hand, and to Buyer, on the other hand, in each case individually and collectively.

11.15Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or otherwise, the Parties agree on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Affiliates that (i) no Non-Recourse Party of a Party shall have any

​

liability relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, except to the extent agreed in writing by such Non-Recourse Party, and (ii) no Party shall at any time assert against any Non-Recourse Party any claim, cause of action, right or remedy, or any Litigation relating to the Transactions. Each Party hereby waives and discharges any such claims, causes of action, rights, remedies and Litigations relating thereto, and releases (and agrees to execute and deliver any instrument necessary to effectuate the release of) each Non-Recourse Party therefrom. The provisions of this Section 11.15 are for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Non-Recourse Party, which is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 11.15.
