-15-

Section 2.6    Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other Tax Law. Prior to such deduction or withholding (except any deduction or withholding required as a result of a failure to provide the documentation pursuant to Section 4.3(e)), Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Sellers written notice of such deduction or withholding and a reasonable opportunity to provide forms or other evidence that would reduce or exempt such deduction or withholding under applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.7    Assignment of Contracts. The Sale Order shall, to the extent permitted by Law, provide for the assignment by Sellers to Buyer, effective upon the Closing, of the Transferred Contracts in accordance with this Section 2.7.

(a)    Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to provide timely and proper written notice of the motion seeking entry of the Sale Order to all parties to any executory Contracts to which any Seller is a party that are Transferred Contracts and take all other actions reasonably necessary to cause such Contracts to be assigned to Buyer pursuant to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. At the Closing, Sellers shall assign to Buyer the Transferred Contracts that may be assigned by any such Seller to Buyer pursuant to sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. From and after the Effective Date until the earlier of (y) the date that is 45 days following the Closing and (z) the date on which the Bankruptcy Court enters an Order confirming Sellers’ plan of reorganization or liquidation (this clause (z) the “Plan Confirmation Date”), Buyer may, in consultation with Sellers, propose to designate any Contract then in effect that Sellers have not otherwise disposed of, or agreed to dispose of, that is necessary to administer, control and exercise legal rights with respect to the use of all other Acquired Assets, in each case, in the same manner in all material respects as by and on behalf of Sellers (as applicable) in connection with the Business during the twelve months prior to the date hereof (and is not an Excluded Listed Contract as of the Effective Date), as a Transferred Contract, as applicable, or designate any such Contract that would otherwise be a Transferred Contract as an Excluded Listed Contract, in each case by providing written notice of such designation or removal to Sellers and, in the case of designating an additional Transferred Contract, Sellers will use reasonable best efforts to cause such Contract to be assumed and assigned to Buyer in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Sellers may not designate any such Contract as a Transferred Contract after Closing if Sellers have rejected, agreed to dispose, or disposed, of such Contract or require such Contract in order to provide services to any other business line of Sellers or to wind down the operations of Sellers and (ii) Sellers shall provide not less than five Business Days’ notice to Buyer prior to filing any motion to reject, agreeing to dispose or disposing any Contract that is necessary to administer, control and exercise legal rights with respect to the use of all other Acquired Assets, in each case, in the same manner in all material respects as by and on behalf of Sellers (as applicable) in connection with the Business during the twelve months prior to the date hereof (other than any Excluded Listed Contract).

-16-

(b)    In the case of any removal or addition of a Transferred Contract pursuant to Section 2.7(a), Sellers shall give notice to the other parties to any Contract to which such removal or addition relates within three Business Days of Buyer notifying Sellers of such removal or addition.

(c)    In connection with and upon the assignment to Buyer of any Transferred Contract pursuant to this Section 2.7, Buyer and Sellers shall pay all of the Cure Costs.

(d)    If Sellers are unable to assign any Transferred Contract to Buyer as a result of an Order of the Bankruptcy Court or applicable Law, then Buyer and Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts prior to the Closing to obtain, and to cooperate in obtaining, all Consents and Governmental Authorizations from Governmental Authorities and third parties necessary to assign such Transferred Contract to Buyer; provided, however, neither Buyer nor Sellers shall be required to pay any amount or incur any obligation to any Person from whom any such Consent or Governmental Authorization may be required in order to obtain such Consent.

(e)    Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, a Contract shall not be a Transferred Contract hereunder and shall not be assigned by the applicable Sellers and assumed by Buyer to the extent that such Contract requires a Consent or Governmental Authorization (other than, and in addition to, that of the Bankruptcy Court) in order to permit the sale or transfer to Buyer of Sellers’ rights under such Contract, if such Consent or Governmental Authorization has not been obtained prior to the Closing. In such event, the Closing will proceed with respect to the remaining Acquired Assets upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, and there will be no reduction in the Purchase Price as a result thereof, and, for a period of six months after the Closing Date (or the remaining term of any such Contract if shorter or the closing of the Bankruptcy Cases, if earlier), (i) Sellers and Buyer will use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the Consents with respect to any such Contract and (ii) Sellers and Buyer will cooperate in a mutually agreeable arrangement, to the extent feasible and without the need for any Consent, under which Buyer would obtain the benefits and assume the obligations associated with such Contracts in accordance with this Agreement, including subcontracting, sub-licensing, or sub-leasing to Buyer, or under which Sellers would enforce their rights thereunder for the benefit of Buyer with Buyer assuming each applicable Sellers’ obligations thereunder; provided, however, neither Buyer nor Sellers shall be required to pay any amount, grant any accommodation therefor or incur any obligation to any Person from whom any such Consent or Governmental Authorization may be required in order to obtain such Consent; provided further that neither Buyer nor any of Sellers will be obligated to initiate any Proceedings to obtain any such Consent or Governmental Authorization. For the avoidance of doubt, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall in no way be contingent or conditioned on obtaining any such Consents for the assignment of the Transferred Contracts.

ARTICLE III

PURCHASE PRICE

Section 3.1    Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the purchase, sale, assignment and conveyance of Sellers’ right, title and interest in, to and under the Acquired Assets shall consist of:

(a)    cash in the amount of the Cash Consideration; and

-17-

(b)    the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 3.2    Deposit.

(a)    Buyer has delivered, or will deliver within one Business Day of the Effective Date, to the Deposit Escrow Agent the Deposit in immediately available funds pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order, by wire transfer of immediately available funds for deposit into a separate, segregated, non-interest bearing escrow account maintained by the Deposit Escrow Agent in accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order. The Deposit shall not be subject to any lien, attachment, trustee process, or any other judicial process of any creditor of any Seller or Buyer and shall be applied against payment of the Purchase Price on the Closing Date or otherwise distributed or returned according to the terms of this Section 3.2.

(b)    If this Agreement has been terminated by Sellers pursuant to Section 10.1(d) or Section 10.1(f), then Sellers shall retain the Deposit.

(c)    If this Agreement has been terminated by any Party, other than as contemplated by Section 3.2(b), then the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer within three Business Days after such termination.

(d)    The Parties agree that Sellers’ right to retain the Deposit, as set forth in Section 3.2(b), is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Sellers for their efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

Section 3.3    Closing Date Payments. At the Closing, (a) Buyer shall pay to Sellers cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in an amount equal to (i) the Cash Consideration minus (ii) the Deposit and (b) Sellers shall direct the Deposit Escrow Agent to indefeasibly transfer the Deposit to an account designated by Sellers.

Section 3.4    Discharge of Assumed Liabilities After Closing. Following the Closing, Buyer shall pay, perform or satisfy the Assumed Liabilities from time to time and as such Assumed Liabilities become due and payable or are required to be performed or satisfied in accordance with their respective terms.

Section 3.5    Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a)    For U.S. federal (and where applicable, state and local) income Tax purposes, the parties agree to allocate the Purchase Price, the Assumed Liabilities, and any other amounts treated as consideration to any Seller in respect of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement for U.S. federal (and where applicable, state and local) income Tax purposes (collectively, the “Tax Consideration”) among the Acquired Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code, pursuant to the following procedures. No later than 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide Sellers with a proposed allocation of the Tax Consideration

-18-

among the Acquired Assets (the “Proposed Allocation”). Sellers may object to the Proposed Allocation by delivering to Buyer, within 30 days of receipt by Sellers of the Proposed Allocation, notice of objection to the Proposed Allocation (an “Allocation Objection Notice”), which shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such objection. If Sellers fail to deliver an Allocation Objection Notice to Buyer prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, the Proposed Allocation shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Sellers and Buyer (the “Allocation”). If Sellers timely deliver an Allocation Objection Notice, then Buyer and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed items. If Buyer and Sellers are able to reach agreement on the disputed items within 30 days after the Allocation Objection Notice has been received by Buyer, the Proposed Allocation, as modified to reflect such agreement between Buyer and Sellers, shall be the Allocation. If Buyer and Sellers are unable to reach such an agreement within 30 days after the Allocation Objection Notice has been received by Buyer, all unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to a mutually agreed, nationally recognized accounting firm (the “Independent Arbiter”). The Independent Arbiter shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed items with respect to the allocation of the Tax Consideration as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than 30 days after such submission to the Independent Arbiter, and to resolve only those unresolved disputed items set forth in the Allocation Objection Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, the Independent Arbiter’s resolution of the disputed items shall be within the ranges proposed by Buyer and Sellers that are in dispute. If unresolved disputed items are submitted to the Independent Arbiter, Buyer and Sellers shall each furnish to the Independent Arbiter such work papers, schedules and other documents and information relating to the unresolved disputed items as the Independent Arbiter may reasonably request. The resolution of the disputed items by the Independent Arbiter shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and Sellers. The Proposed Allocation, as modified to reflect (x) any agreement as to any disputed items between Buyer and Sellers and (y) the resolution of the remaining disputed items by the Independent Arbiter, shall be the Allocation. All fees and expenses of the Independent Arbiter shall be allocated to Buyer and Sellers in the same proportion that the aggregate amount of the items unsuccessfully disputed or defended, as the case may be, by each of Buyer and Sellers (as determined by the Independent Arbiter) bears to the total amount of the disputed items.

(b)    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 foreign law), each of the parties (x) shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Allocation and (y) shall not take, and shall cause its Affiliates not to take, any position inconsistent with the Allocation on any Tax Return, in connection with any Tax Proceeding or otherwise.

(g)    The liability of each Guarantor under this Section 6.10 shall be unconditional, and this Section 6.10 shall be a continuing guaranty.

Section 7.2    Sale Order. The Sale Order shall, among other things, (a) approve, pursuant to sections 105, 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, (i) the execution, delivery and performance by Sellers of this Agreement, (ii) the sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer on the terms set forth herein and free and clear of all Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and (iii) the performance by Sellers of their obligations under this Agreement, (b) authorize and empower Sellers to assume and assign to Buyer the Transferred Contracts, (c) find that Buyer is a “good faith” purchaser within the meaning of section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, find that Buyer is not a successor to any Seller, and grant Buyer the protections of section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, (d) find that Buyer shall have no Liability or responsibility for any Liability or other obligation of any Seller arising under or related to the Acquired Assets other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including successor or vicarious Liabilities of any kind or character, including any theory of antitrust, environmental, successor, or transferee Liability, labor law, de facto merger, or substantial continuity, (e) find that Buyer has provided adequate assurance (as that term is used in section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) of future performance in connection with the assumption of the Transferred Contracts, (f) find that Buyer shall have no Liability for any Excluded Liability, (g) find that the consideration provided by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement constitutes reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the Acquired Assets, (h) find that Buyer and Sellers did not engage in any conduct which would allow this Agreement to be set aside pursuant to section 363(n) of the Bankruptcy Code and (i) order that, notwithstanding the provisions of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedures 6004(h) and 6006(d), the Sale Order is not stayed and is effective immediately upon entry.

Section 7.3    Approval. Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement and in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby are subject to entry of and, to the extent entered, the terms of any Orders of the Bankruptcy Court (including entry of the Sale Order).

Section 8.11    Use of Email. From and after the Closing, Sellers shall be permitted and entitled until the Commercialization End Date (i) to use and access the buybuybaby.com email domain to email customers of the Business (including using customer information included in Business Data) and (ii) maintain and operate the website at buybuybaby.com, in each case, in connection with the promotion and marketing of the sale and liquidation of inventory in substantially the same manner as done by Sellers prior to the Closing, but subject to Section 8.12. Buyer shall, and shall cause the Buyer Group to, reasonably cooperate with and assist Sellers in connection with the foregoing, and Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Buyer Group not to, take any actions that will prevent any Seller or its designees from performing the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer shall, and shall cause members of the Buyer Group to, through July 31, 2023, maintain and operate the buybuybaby.com email domain as currently configured, which obligation shall not include employing any Seller personnel, operating any Seller hardware or software systems, or assuming any Seller Contracts.

Section 8.12    Cooperation on Communications. Following the Closing, no Seller shall send out any email or other notice communication to customers without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that (a) consent shall be deemed received if Buyer does not object within 24 hours of Buyer’s receipt of such proposed communication (which may be by email to the address set forth in Section 12.3 but not subject to the timing requirements in such section), (b) such consent shall not be required (but Buyer shall still receive prompt notice thereof) if the proposed communication is substantially identical to (i) any prior communication consented to (or deemed consented to in accordance with clause (a)) by Buyer or (ii) the form(s) attached to Section 8.12 of the Disclosure Schedules, and (c) any objection solely due to pricing or discount information shall be deemed unreasonable.

Sellers each agree that, following the Closing, no Seller shall send any email or other communication to customers of the Business, or include any messaging on the website of the Business, in each case that states or implies that the e-commerce part of the Business is ceasing operations or winding down its business activities. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “going out of business” shall not be included in any email or other customer communication without specific modifications limiting its meaning to physical stores and inventory.

Section 11.1    Transfer Taxes. Any sales, use, excise, purchase, transfer, franchise, deed, fixed asset, stamp, documentary stamp, value added, recordation, license, conveyance, use and other similar Taxes imposed on or with respect to the sale of the Acquired Assets or the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be borne and timely paid fifty percent (50%) by Sellers and fifty percent (50%) by Buyer; provided that Buyer shall not be liable for more than $100,000 of Transfer Taxes and any Transfer Taxes in excess of $200,000 (such that, in the absence of this proviso, Buyer would be liable for more than $100,000 of such Transfer Taxes) shall be borne by Sellers. Buyer shall timely file all Tax Returns related to any Transfer Taxes. Buyer and Sellers will use commercially reasonable efforts and cooperate in good faith to exempt the transactions contemplated hereby from any Transfer Taxes to the extent allowed under applicable Law.

Section 11.2    Periodic Taxes. For purposes of this Agreement, with respect to any Acquired Asset, Sellers and Buyer shall apportion the liability for real and personal property Taxes, ad valorem Taxes, and similar Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes) (“Periodic Taxes”) for Straddle Periods applicable to such Acquired Asset in accordance with this Section 11.2. The Periodic Taxes described in this Section 11.2 shall be apportioned between Sellers and Buyer as of the Closing Date, with Buyer liable for that portion of the Periodic Taxes for a Straddle Period (which portion of such Taxes shall for purposes of this Agreement be deemed attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period) equal to the Periodic Taxes for such Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in such Straddle Period after the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such entire Straddle Period. Sellers shall be liable for that portion of the Periodic Taxes for a Straddle Period (which portion of such Taxes shall for purposes of this Agreement be deemed attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period) equal to the Periodic Taxes for such Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of such Straddle Period ending on (and including) the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such entire Straddle Period. The party hereto responsible under applicable Law for paying a Tax described in this Section 11.2 shall be responsible for administering the payment of such Tax.

Section 11.3    Reimbursements. Sellers, on the one hand, or Buyer on the other hand, as the case may be (the “Reimbursing Party”) shall provide reimbursement for any Tax paid by the other (the “Paying Party”), all or a portion of which is the responsibility of the Reimbursing Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 11.4    Cooperation. Buyer and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the preparation or filing of Tax Returns, the determination of any liability in respect of Taxes or the right to any refund, credit, or prepayment in respect of Taxes, and any Tax Proceeding.

-44-

Section 11.5    Preparation of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes. Buyer shall prepare and timely file all non-income Tax Returns solely relating to the Acquired Assets for any Straddle Period. Buyer shall prepare such Tax Returns consistent with past practice and shall provide Sellers with a draft of such Tax Returns at least 30 days (or such shorter period as is reasonable taking into account the Tax period and the nature of the relevant Tax Return or other relevant circumstances) prior to the filing of any such Tax Return. Buyer shall incorporate any changes reasonably requested by Sellers with respect to such Tax Returns if such Tax Returns could materially and adversely affect Sellers in a Pre-Closing Tax Period or reflect a Tax that is borne by Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Buyer shall be responsible for paying any Taxes reflected on any Tax Return that Buyer is obligated to prepare and file under this Section 11.5, except to the extent such Taxes constitute an Excluded Tax.

ARTICLE XII

Except to the extent named as a party to this Agreement, and then only to the extent of the specific obligations of such parties set forth in this Agreement, no past, present or future shareholder, member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or Advisor of any Party will have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements, or other obligations or Liabilities of any of the Parties with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement or for any Agreement Dispute.

Section 12.8    Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity in such jurisdiction, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement or in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.9    Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction will be applied against any Person. The headings of the sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and will in no way restrict or otherwise modify any of the terms or provisions hereof.

Section 12.10    Disclosure Schedules. The Disclosure Schedules have been arranged for purposes of convenience in separately numbered sections corresponding to the sections of this Agreement; provided that each section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to incorporate by reference any information disclosed against any representation or warranty in any other section or subsection of the Disclosure Schedules to the extent it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that it is applicable to qualify such representation and warranty. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement. The specification of any dollar amount or the inclusion of any item in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or the attached exhibits is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such amounts or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and no Party will use the fact of the setting of the amounts or the fact of the inclusion of any item in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits in any dispute or controversy between the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not set forth or included in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or exhibits is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the amount or items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. In addition, matters reflected in the Disclosure Schedules are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Disclosure Schedules. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. No information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to broaden in any way the scope of the Parties’ representations and warranties. The information contained in this Agreement, in the Disclosure Schedules and exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever, including any violation of Law or breach of Contract.

Section 12.11    Complete Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement and any other agreements expressly referred to herein (including the Transaction Documents) or therein, contains the entire agreement of the Parties respecting the sale and

-48-

purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements among the Parties respecting the sale and purchase of the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises with respect to this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the execution version of this Agreement will control and prior drafts of this Agreement and the documents referenced herein will not be considered or analyzed for any purpose (including in support of parol evidence proffered by any Person in connection with this Agreement), will be deemed not to provide any evidence as to the meaning of the provisions hereof or the intent of the Parties with respect hereto and will be deemed joint work product of the Parties.

Section 12.12    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if any of the Parties fails to take any action required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that (a) the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 12.13 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither Sellers nor Buyer would have entered into this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party pursuing an injunction or injunctions or other Order to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12.12 will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order. The remedies available to the Parties pursuant to this Section 12.12 will be in addition to any other remedy to which they were entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance will not restrict, impair or otherwise limit any Party from seeking to collect or collecting damages. If, prior to the Outside Date, any Party brings any action, in each case in accordance with Section 12.13, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the Outside Date will automatically be extended (i) for the period during which such action is pending, plus three Business Days or (ii) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, as the case may be.

Section 12.13    Jurisdiction and Exclusive Venue. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal theory under which any Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or in tort or under statute, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise under any legal or equitable theory, that may be based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and any questions concerning the construction, interpretation, validity and enforceability of this Agreement (each, an “Agreement Dispute”) brought by any other Party or its successors or assigns will be brought and determined only in (a) the Bankruptcy Court and any federal court to which an appeal from the Bankruptcy Court may be validly taken or (b) if the Bankruptcy Court is unwilling or unable to hear such Proceeding, in the United States federal courts for the Southern District of New York (the “Chosen Courts”), and each of the Parties hereby

-49-

irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any Agreement Dispute. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any Agreement Dispute except in the Chosen Courts, other than Proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any Order, decree or award rendered by any Chosen Courts, and no Party will file a motion to dismiss any Agreement Dispute filed in a Chosen Court on any jurisdictional or venue-related grounds, including the doctrine of forum non-conveniens. The Parties irrevocably agree that venue would be proper in any of the Chosen Court, and hereby irrevocably waive any objection that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of any Agreement Dispute. Each of the Parties further irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 12.14    Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement and any Agreement Dispute will be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such State without regards to conflicts of law principles of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction that would cause the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware to apply.

(b)    EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND THEREFORE HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE. EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH AGREEMENT DISPUTE WILL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO ADVISOR OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY AGREEMENT DISPUTE, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 12.15    No Right to Set Off. Buyer, on its own behalf and on behalf the Buyer Group and its and their respective successors and permitted assigns, hereby waives any rights of set-off, netting, offset, recoupment or similar rights that Buyer, any member of the Buyer Group or any of its or their respective successors and permitted assigns has or may have with respect to the payment of the Purchase Price or any other payments to be made by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any other document or instrument delivered by Buyer in connection herewith.

Section 12.16    Counterparts and PDF. This Agreement and any other agreements referred to herein or therein, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party hereto or thereto, but all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a .PDF or other electronic transmission, will be treated in all manner and respects as an original Contract and will be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. Minor variations in the form of the signature page to this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, will be disregarded in determining the effectiveness of such signature. At the request of any party or pursuant to any such Contract, each other party hereto or thereto will re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such Contract will raise the use of a .PDF or other electronic transmission to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or Contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of PDF or other electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a Contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

Section 12.17    Publicity. Neither Sellers nor Buyer shall issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other Party, which approval will not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed, unless, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer or Sellers, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Buyer or Sellers (or their respective Affiliates) lists securities; provided that the Party intending to make such release shall use its reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court requirement to consult with the other Party with respect to the text thereof; provided further that the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to the extent the information contained therein substantially reiterates (or is substantially consistent with) previous releases, public disclosures or public statements made in compliance with this Section 12.17.

Section 12.18    Bulk Sales Laws. The Parties intend that pursuant to section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, the transfer of the Acquired Assets shall be free and clear of any Encumbrances in the Acquired Assets including any liens or claims arising out of the bulk transfer laws except Permitted Encumbrances, and the Parties shall take such steps as may be necessary or appropriate to so provide in the Sale Order. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives compliance by the Parties with the “bulk sales,” “bulk transfers” or similar Laws and all other similar Laws in all applicable jurisdictions in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 12.19    Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement, time is of the essence.

Section 12.20    Sellers’ Representative. Each Party agrees that BBBY has the power and authority to unilaterally act on behalf of all or any of Sellers for the purposes specified under this Agreement. Such power will include the power to make all decisions, actions, Consents and determinations on behalf of Sellers, including to make any waiver of any Closing condition or agree to any amendment to this Agreement. No Seller shall have any right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any action or omission taken by BBBY on behalf of Sellers.
