6.03        Employees.

(a)         Purchaser shall be responsible for any notification required, if any, by any Applicable Laws governing layoffs or terminations to any employees of the Company (the “ Travel Employees ”) with respect to the Contemplated Transactions (collectively “ WARN Notices ”), including the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (and any similar state or local Applicable Laws) (“ WARN Act ”). Purchaser shall be responsible for any liability related to the WARN Act or similar laws with respect to the Travel Employees, including any failure to deliver any applicable WARN Notices to the Travel Employees if required by the WARN Act.

For eligibility and vesting purposes under any Benefit Plan sponsored or maintained by Purchaser and the Company and for all purposes with regard to vacation, sick time, personal time off, or other similar policies, Purchaser shall, or shall cause the Company to, provide Travel Employees with past service credit for such Travel Employees’ service to Sellers, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits.

Purchaser agrees that, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, cash equal to the aggregate value as of the Closing Date of the Reimbursement Accounts of the Travel Employees, net of eligible expenses reimbursed before the Closing Date, shall be transferred from Parent’s 125 Plan to a plan intended to qualify under Section 125 of the Code that is sponsored by Purchaser and in which the Travel Employees will be immediately eligible to participate (“ Purchaser’s 125 Plan ”) and credited to such Travel Employees under Purchaser’s 125 Plan. Upon receipt of such amount, Purchaser and Purchaser’s 125 Plan shall assume all obligations with respect to the Reimbursement Accounts for the Travel Employees as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall recognize the elections of the Travel Employees under Parent’s 125 Plan for purposes of Purchaser’s 125 Plan for the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs. Gaiam Travel Parent shall provide Purchaser with all information reasonably requested in order for Purchaser and Purchaser’s 125 Plan to satisfy the obligations set forth in this Section 6.03(e) . Sellers, Gaiam Travel Parent and Purchaser agree to fully cooperate with one another for the purpose of accomplishing this transfer and providing the records necessary to ensure that Parent’s 125 Plan and Purchaser’s 125 Plan are and will be administered in compliance with Applicable Law. Purchaser, Gaiam Travel Parent and Sellers shall coordinate their efforts and develop a mutually agreeable procedure to achieve the intent of this subsection.

(f)         For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided in this Section 6.03 and the Shared Resources payments set forth on Schedule 1.01(d) , Purchaser is not assuming and Gaiam Travel Parent shall remain solely responsible for any and all liabilities in respect of or arising out of or in connection with any Parent Benefit Plan and from and after the Closing shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Purchaser and its Affiliates from and against, any such liabilities, regardless of when any such liability arises, is incurred or is disclosed. Without limiting the foregoing, Gaiam Travel Parent shall remain solely responsible for any workers’ compensation claims that are incurred prior to the Closing Date, regardless of when any such claim is asserted. In the event any workers’ compensation claim relates to any circumstances or series of events that occurred both before and after the Closing, such claim shall be apportioned to Gaiam Travel Parent to the extent it is covered under Gaiam Travel Parent’s applicable workers’ compensation policy covering Travel Employees as such policy is in effect as of the Closing Date.

(g)         This Section 6.03 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the parties to this Agreement, and nothing in this Section 6.03 , express or implied, shall confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 6.03 . Nothing contained herein, express or implied, shall be construed to establish, amend or modify any Benefit Plan or any other program, agreement or arrangement relating to compensation or employee benefits. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the terms set forth in this Section 6.03 shall not create any right in any Travel Employee or any other Person to any continued employment with the Company, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates.

6.04        Tax Matters.

(a)         Sellers shall be liable, and shall promptly indemnify Purchaser Parties for all Damages resulting from (i) (A) all Taxes for which any Taxpayer is liable or that are imposed on or with respect to any Taxpayer, its assets, businesses and operations, which are attributable to Pre-Closing Periods and (B) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Taxes described in clause (A) which were paid by any Taxpayer during the period beginning after the date of the Interim Balance Sheet and through the Closing Date, in each case, except to the extent such Taxes (including amounts thereof) are specifically set forth on Schedule 6.04(a) , and (ii) all Transfer Taxes for which Sellers are liable pursuant to Section 6.04(b) . In the case of Taxes arising in a taxable period of any Taxpayer that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (the “ Straddle Period ”), the amount of Taxes for the Pre-Closing Period shall, (i) in the case of ad valorem or property Taxes, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days during the Straddle Period before and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of calendar days in the Straddle Period and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes, be determined based on a closing of the books as of the end of the day on the Closing Date, provided , however that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (such as deductions for depreciation and real estate taxes) will be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period on a daily basis. To the extent any Taxpayer is permitted but not required under applicable state, local, or foreign income Tax laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, then the Parties shall treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period.

(b)         Except as required by Applicable Law, Purchaser shall not amend or revoke any Tax Returns of any Taxpayer for any Pre-Closing Period (or any elections relating thereto) without first obtaining Sellers’ consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns of any Taxpayer that are required to be filed after the Closing Date with respect to any Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period. For any Tax Return of any Taxpayer with respect to a Pre-Closing Period or Straddle Period that is the responsibility of the Company under this Section 6.04(b) , the Company shall (i) prepare and file such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practice of the Taxpayers, as the case may be, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, and (ii) deliver to Sellers for their review and comment a copy of any such proposed income Tax Return (accompanied, where appropriate, by a calculation of the allocation between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period of the Taxes shown to be due on such income Tax Return) at least 20 days prior to the due date (giving effect to any validly obtained extension) thereof and shall make such changes and revisions to such income Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Sellers to the extent such changes and revisions relate to Taxes for a Pre-Closing Period for which Sellers have liability pursuant to this Agreement.

(c)         Purchaser shall have the right to control any Tax audits, Tax disputes or administrative, judicial or other proceedings (“ Tax Controversies ”) with respect to any Taxpayer or the assets, operations or activities of any Taxpayer; provided , however , that in the case of any Tax Controversy that relates to any Taxes that could give rise to a liability of Sellers under this Agreement, Sellers may participate in such Tax Controversy, at Sellers’ expense, with respect to any issues in such Tax Controversy for which Sellers have liability under this Agreement, and Purchaser shall not enter into any agreement that represents a final determination of such issues without Sellers’ prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , further , that in the case of any Tax Controversy that relates solely to Taxes that could give rise to liability of Sellers under this Agreement and that could not reasonably be expected to adversely impact the Tax liability of Purchaser, Sellers shall have the right to control such Tax Controversy, in which case Purchaser may participate in such Tax Controversy, at Purchaser’s expense, and Sellers shall not compromise or settle such a Tax Controversy without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Sellers shall execute, or cause to be executed, powers of attorney or other documents reasonably necessary to enable Purchaser to take all actions necessary in connection with any Tax Controversies. To the extent of any conflict between this Section 6.04(c) and Section 7.07 , this Section 6.04(c) shall govern with respect to any Tax matters.

(d)         If, after the Closing Date, Purchaser, any Taxpayer or any Affiliate of Purchaser receives any document with respect to the Tax matters of any Taxpayer, the Purchased Shares, or the assets, operations or activities of any Taxpayer that would result in liability for Sellers under this Agreement, or Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers receives any document with respect to the Tax matters of any Taxpayer, the Purchased Shares, or the assets, operations or activities of any Taxpayer, the Party receiving such document shall supply a copy of such document to the potentially affected Party within fifteen (15) days of receipt, provided , however , that no failure or delay by Purchaser, any Taxpayer or any Affiliate of Purchaser to provide such document to Sellers shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of Sellers hereunder except to the extent Sellers are actually prejudiced thereby. For this purpose, such Tax documents shall include requests for information, notices of proposed adjustments, revenue agent’s reports or similar reports and notices of deficiency. Any information provided or obtained under this Section 6.04(d) shall be kept confidential, except as may otherwise be necessary in connection with the filing of a Tax Return, refund claims, Tax audits, Tax claims or Tax Controversies or as required by Applicable Law.

(e)         Any refund of Taxes (including any interest thereon) that relates to the Company and that is attributable to a Post-Closing Period, shall be the property of the Company and shall be retained by the Company (or promptly paid by Sellers to the Company if any such refund (or interest thereon) is received by Sellers). If after the Closing Date, the Company or Purchaser or any of its Affiliates receives a refund of any Tax that relates to any Taxes for which Sellers are liable pursuant to Section 6.04(a) (except to the extent such Tax refund arises as the result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax benefit from a Post-Closing Period), then Purchaser shall promptly pay or cause to be paid to Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Proportionate Share, 80.1% (or, in the case of a refund received by the Company, 100%) of the amount of such refund, together with any interest paid thereon by a Governmental Entity, net of (i) any Taxes of Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) attributable to such Tax refund and (ii) the costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) in obtaining such Tax refund. Any refund of Taxes (including any interest thereon) for a Straddle Period shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period in accordance with Section 6.04(a) .

(f)         After the Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall, each at its own expense, cooperate with each other and with each other’s Representatives, in connection with the preparation or audit of any Tax Return, refund claim or Tax Controversy matter with respect to the Taxpayers or the assets, operations or activities of the Taxpayers, and such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information, including work papers (but excluding records and information that are protected by recognized professional privilege) which are reasonably relevant to any Tax Returns, claims for refund, Tax Controversies or other Tax matters with respect to the activities of the Taxpayers, and shall include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Purchaser and Sellers agree (i) to retain all books and records in such Person’s possession as of the date hereof with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the activities of the Taxpayers relating to the six (6) year period (or portion thereof) prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records.

6.05        Expenses; Transfer Taxes.

(a)         Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all Transaction Expenses shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense.

(b)         Any transfer taxes, sales taxes, stamp duties, filing fees, registration fees, recordation expenses, or other similar taxes, fees, charges or expenses incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions (for the avoidance doubt, excluding any direct or indirect capital gains Taxes or withholding Taxes) (“ Transfer Taxes ”) shall be borne one-half by Purchaser and one-half by Sellers in accordance with such Seller’s Pro Rata Proportionate Share. Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. If required by Applicable Law, Purchaser will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Return and other documentation.

6.06        Confidentiality; Noncompete; Nonsolicitation; Nondisparagement .

(a)        Each Seller, as an owner of the Purchased Shares, and Gaiam Travel Parent have had access to and contributed to information and materials of a highly sensitive nature (including Confidential Information) of the Company. Each Seller and Gaiam Travel Parent agree that unless such Seller or Gaiam Travel Parent first secures the written consent of an authorized representative of Purchaser, such Seller or Gaiam Travel Parent shall not use for himself or itself, and shall not disclose to others, any Confidential Information, except (i) to the extent such use or disclosure is required by Applicable Law or any Judgment (in which event each Seller or Gaiam Travel Parent shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, inform Purchaser in advance of any such required disclosure, shall cooperate with Purchaser in all reasonable respects in obtaining a protective order or other protection in respect of such required disclosure, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and shall limit such disclosure to the extent reasonably possible) and (ii) in the case of Bressler, in connection with performance of services for and on behalf of Purchaser or its Affiliates pursuant to any employment agreement or arrangement therewith. Each Seller and Gaiam Travel Parent shall use all reasonable care to safeguard Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft.

(b)        Gaiam Travel and Gaiam Travel Parent further agree that promptly after the Closing, Gaiam Travel and Gaiam Travel Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to destroy all Confidential Information and other Intellectual Property of the Company in Gaiam Travel’s or Gaiam Travel Parent’s possession and control, in whatever form or medium; provided , that subject in each case to compliance with Section 6.06(a) , each may preserve one copy of any such Confidential Information to the extent reasonably necessary to prepare any financial statement, comply with Tax reporting and/or public company and securities reporting obligations, to prepare for or defend any Tax-related Proceeding by any Taxing Authority, or in connection with the institution or defense of any pending or threatened Proceeding involving or relating to the Contemplated Transactions, the Business, or Gaiam Travel’s ownership interest in the Company. If Purchaser requests, Gaiam Travel or Gaiam Travel Parent, as applicable, shall promptly provide written confirmation and certification that it has destroyed all such materials (except the limited retention of Confidential Information as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence). The Parties agree that the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect as of Closing.

For purposes of this Section 6.06(c) , the term “participate” includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent, representative, independent contractor, seller, franchisor, franchisee, or creditor, provided that the foregoing activities shall not include (i) passive ownership of less than two percent (2%) of the stock of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter market, (ii) employment by the Company or Purchaser Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) record or beneficial ownership of Purchaser Parent. During the Noncompete Period, neither Sellers nor Gaiam Travel Parent nor Gaiam Travel’s or Gaiam Travel Parent’s respective Affiliates shall directly or indirectly, including through another Person, (A) call on, solicit, or service any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company (a “ Business Client ”) with respect to products or services that have been provided by the Company in the past two (2) years or are currently being or contemplated to be provided by the Company; or (B) encourage, induce or solicit, or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit, any Business Client to cease doing business with the Company.

(d)        From the Closing Date until the date that is two (2) years following the Closing Date, neither Sellers nor Gaiam Travel Parent nor their respective Affiliates shall, directly or indirectly through another Person (i) encourage, induce, solicit or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit any employee of the Company to leave the employ of the Company; or (ii) hire or employ any Person who was an employee of the Company at any time during the six (6) month period immediately prior to the date of this Agreement; provided , however , that this Section 6.06(d) shall not preclude any Seller or Gaiam Travel Parent or their respective Affiliates from (A) hiring any employee who has not been employed by the Company for at least six (6) months, or (B) placing general solicitations not specifically directed at any of the employees of the Company.

(e)        Each Seller and Gaiam Travel Parent acknowledges and represents that: (i) sufficient consideration has been given by each party to this Agreement to the other as it relates hereto; (ii) such Person has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his or its rights and obligations under this Section 6.06 ; (iii) such Person fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein; (iv) the scope of the business of the Company is independent of location (such that it is not practical to limit the restrictions contained in this Section 6.06 to a specified country, city or part thereof); (v) the restrictions and agreements in this Section 6.06 are reasonable in all respects and necessary for the protection of the Company and its Confidential Information and goodwill and that, without such protection, the Company’s customer and client relationships and competitive advantage would be materially adversely affected; (vi) the agreements in this Section 6.06 are an essential inducement to Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and they are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any similar or related covenants to which such Seller or Gaiam Travel Parent is party or by which it is bound; and (vii) Bressler is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any Person other than the Company. Each Seller that is an individual further acknowledges and represents that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.06 do not impose an undue hardship on him and, since he has general business skills which may be used in industries other than that in which the Company conducts the Business, such restrictions do not deprive such Seller of his livelihood or business. It is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the provisions of this Section 6.06 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Applicable Laws. If any particular provision or portion of this Section 6.06 shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed amended to the minimum extent necessary to render such provision or portion valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision or portion in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(f)        The Parties acknowledge that damages and remedies at law for any breach of this Section 6.06 would be inadequate and that Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Company) shall be entitled to specific performance and other equitable remedies (including an injunction) and such other relief as a court or tribunal may deem appropriate in addition to any other remedies the Company may have in the event of a breach of this Section 6.06 .

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller and Gaiam Travel Parent expressly waive any and all rights conferred upon them by any Applicable Law that provides that a release does not extend to claims which the releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by the releasing party would have materially affected the releasing party’s settlement with the released parties. This Agreement constitutes a complete defense of any and all Released Claims.

The timely delivery of such written notice by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall not be a condition precedent to any liability on the part of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VII with respect to such Third Party Claim except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Subject to the Indemnifying Party acknowledging responsibility to indemnify the Indemnified Party for a Third Party Claim under Article VII , the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its option, to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided , that the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in any such defense at its sole cost and expense (subject to Section 7.07(a)(i) ).

(i)       notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay or otherwise indemnify the Indemnified Party against any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred on behalf of the Indemnified Party in connection with such Third Party Claim following the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, unless there is a reasonable likelihood that a conflict of interest exists with respect to any significant issue between any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim or the Indemnified Party has defenses available to it that are not available to the Indemnifying Party, in either of which cases, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel as may be required to be retained in order to resolve such conflict;

(ii)       the expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in doing so shall be included in the Damages for the purposes of the limitations of Section 7.04 , as applicable;

(iii)       the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense all nonprivileged books, records, and other documents and materials that are under the direct or indirect control of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Representatives and that the Indemnifying Party reasonably considers necessary or desirable for the defense of such Third Party Claim;

(iv)       the Indemnified Party shall execute such documents and take such other actions as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request for the purpose of facilitating the defense of, or any settlement, compromise, or adjustment relating to, such Third Party Claim, in each case, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense;

(v)       the Indemnified Party shall otherwise cooperate as reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party at the Indemnifying Party’s sole expense in the defense of such Third Party Claim; and

(vi)       the Indemnifying Party shall have the exclusive right to settle, adjust, or compromise such Third Party Claim, on such terms as it may deem appropriate, without the consent or approval of the Indemnified Party or any other Person, unless such settlement, adjustment or compromise (A) does not include an unconditional, full and complete release of Purchaser and any other applicable Purchaser Party, (B) contemplates any remedy other than the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party, (C) imposes an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party or (D) includes any finding or admission of wrongdoing, violation of Applicable Law or violation of the rights of any third party by the Indemnified Party, in any of which cases, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle, adjust, or compromise such Third Party Claim without Purchaser’s or the applicable Purchaser Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b)        If the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the twenty (20) day period therefor as set forth in Section 7.07(a) , then the Indemnified Party shall proceed diligently to defend such Third Party Claim with the assistance of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle, adjust, or compromise such Third Party Claim, or admit any liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In such case, the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party all nonprivileged books, records, and other documents and materials that are under the direct or indirect control of the Indemnifying Party or any of the Indemnifying Party's Representatives and that the Indemnified Party reasonably considers necessary or desirable for the defense of such Third Party Claim; the Indemnifying Party shall execute such documents and take such other actions as the Indemnified Party may reasonably request for the purpose of facilitating the defense of, or any settlement, compromise, or adjustment relating to, such Third Party Claim; and the Indemnifying Party shall otherwise cooperate as reasonably requested by the Indemnified Party in the defense of such Third Party Claim.

Each of the Parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to the extent required by Applicable Law to mitigate its respective Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition that would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages that are indemnifiable hereunder.

8.17         Waivers; Terminations . Recognizing that Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP has acted as legal counsel to Sellers and certain of their Affiliates, and the Company prior to the Closing, and that Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP intends to act as legal counsel to Sellers and certain of their respective Affiliates (which will no longer include the Company) after the Closing, each of Purchaser, the Company and the Company's Subsidiaries hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP representing Sellers and/or any of Sellers’ Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may involve Purchaser, or any of the Company or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated herein (including in respect of litigation). In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Sellers, their Affiliates, the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP on the other hand, in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Sellers and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company or its Subsidiaries). Accordingly, Purchaser agrees that the Company shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP and relating to their engagement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.

This Section 8.17 is for the benefit of Sellers and Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP, and Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 8.17 . This Section 8.17 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 8.17 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of Sellers.

8.18         Non-Recourse . No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, financial advisor, accountant, advisor, agent, attorney or other representative of Sellers, Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Sellers or Purchaser (as applicable) under this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except that nothing in this Section 8.18 shall limit the express obligations of a Party under this Agreement or the Collateral Agreements.

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

8.20         Further Assurances . From and after the Closing, upon the request of a Party, each other Party shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the Contemplated Transactions, at the cost and expense of the requesting party.

8.21         Gaiam Travel Parent Guaranty .

(a)        Gaiam Travel Parent absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the complete and punctual payment of all payment obligations and performance of all performance, obligations of Gaiam Travel under this Agreement which are required to be made or performed following the Closing Date as and when the same becomes due or performable in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including related to the payment of Damages due and owing by Gaiam Travel or other performance thereof pursuant to Article VI , Article VII or Article VIII (such obligations as to which payment are guaranteed pursuant hereto are hereinafter individually and collectively called the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”). In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties hereto agree that (A) Gaiam Travel Parent’s guaranty under this Section 8.21 (this “ Guaranty ”) is a guaranty of payment when due and not collectability; (B) this Guaranty is a primary obligation of Gaiam Travel Parent and not merely a contract of surety; and (C) payment by Gaiam Travel Parent of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any liability of Gaiam Travel Parent for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which have not been paid or performed.

(b)        Purchaser may recover from Gaiam Travel Parent the full amount of any Guaranteed Obligation on demand, but only after Gaiam Travel has breached or defaulted on or failed to pay or perform when due such Guaranteed Obligation. It is agreed that Purchaser may, upon any breach or default or failure to pay or perform of Gaiam Travel of a Guaranteed Obligation, or at any time thereafter, make demand upon Gaiam Travel Parent and receive payment and performance of such Guaranteed Obligation. Suit may be brought and maintained against Gaiam Travel Parent, at Purchaser’s election, without joinder of Gaiam Travel or any other Person as parties thereto.

(c)        Gaiam Travel Parent agrees that its obligations to Purchaser under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute, continuing and unconditional (other than a discharge of Gaiam Travel Parent with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation as a result of performance of such Guaranteed Obligation in accordance with its terms or as a result of contractual defenses to the performance of such Guaranteed Obligation that would be available to Gaiam Travel pursuant to this Agreement), irrespective of and unaffected by any of the following actions or circumstances (regardless of any notice to or consent of Gaiam Travel Parent): (i) the genuineness, validity, regularity and enforceability of this Agreement or any other document executed in connection herewith; (ii) Gaiam Travel’s voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, or similar proceedings affecting Gaiam Travel or any of its assets; or (iii) any other action or circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than as otherwise provided in this Section 8.21(c) ).

(d)        Notice of any adverse change in Gaiam Travel’s financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of Gaiam Travel Parent is also waived by Gaiam Travel Parent. All settlements, compromises, accounts stated and agreed balances made in good faith between Purchaser, its successors or assigns, on the one hand, and Gaiam Travel, its successors or assigns, on the other hand, shall be binding upon and shall not affect the liability of Gaiam Travel Parent, except to the extent any of the foregoing reduce, remove or otherwise affect Gaiam Travel Parent’s liability with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation. To the extent the waiver of Gaiam Travel Parent’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, Gaiam Travel Parent’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against Gaiam Travel, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Purchaser may have against Gaiam Travel.

(e)        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any modification, limitation or discharge of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of Gaiam Travel under Applicable Law initiated by or against Gaiam Travel shall not modify, limit, lessen, reduce, impair, discharge or otherwise affect Gaiam Travel Parent’s obligations hereunder in any manner whatsoever. If at any time any payment or portion thereof of any Guaranteed Obligation, whether or not made by or for the account of Gaiam Travel, is set aside by any court or trustee having jurisdiction as a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance or must otherwise be restored or returned by Purchaser to Gaiam Travel under any insolvency, bankruptcy or other Applicable Laws or as a result of any dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Gaiam Travel or upon or as a result of the appointment of any receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer of Gaiam Travel or any substantial part of Gaiam Travel’s properties or assets, or in connection with any compromise or settlement relating to any of the above, Gaiam Travel Parent hereby agrees that this Guaranty shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment(s) had not been made.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Purchaser, Purchaser Parent, Sellers and Gaiam Travel Parent have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
