a Delaware limited liability company and Affiliate of IPCo (the “WHP Member”), Parent Guarantor and the Indirect Committing Party. Unless the context otherwise requires or as otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

This letter agreement sets forth certain commitments of the undersigned (the “Indirect Committing Party”) to IPCo.

1.            Funding Commitments.

(a)               Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Interim Investors’ Agreement, the Indirect Committing Party hereby commits to contribute, directly or indirectly, to IPCo up to an aggregate of $425,000,000 (such amount, the “Indirect Contribution Amount” and the commitment to fund the Indirect Contribution Amount, the “G-III Commitment”) in exchange for 50% of the outstanding Units of IPCo, consisting of not less than a number of Units of IPCo equal to the result of (x) the Indirect Contribution Amount, divided by (y) $1.00 per Unit, which Indirect Contribution Amount shall (i) directly or indirectly (including through an Affiliate thereof) be immediately contributed by IPCo to Majestic Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, to Purchaser in respect of the amounts payable by Purchaser at Closing pursuant to and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement, (ii) reduce the actual amount required to be contributed by the Debt Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter, and (iii) in any event, equal (and not exceed) the amount paid by the WHP Member to IPCo at Closing (such that each of the Indirect Committing Party and the WHP Member’s respective total payment at Closing in respect of amounts paid to the Sellers shall not, in each case, exceed the amount of the Indirect Contribution Amount). Each of the G-III Commitment, the Debt Financing and the WHP Equity Commitment will be used at the Closing solely for the purpose of funding, and to the extent necessary to fund, all amounts payable by Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to and in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and for each of the Indirect Committing Party and the WHP Member or their respective Affiliates to pay (or cause to be paid) the Pro Rata Percentage fees and expenses of Purchaser (and IPCo, as applicable) contemplated thereby (as contemplated by the Interim Investors’ Agreement). The Units to be received by the Indirect Committing Party in accordance with clauses (x) and (y) above shall equal the number and class of Common Units received by the WHP Member and shall be issued at the same per-Unit price.

(b)               Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein and in the Interim Investors’ Agreement, as an alternative to (and not in addition to) funding all or any portion of the Indirect Contribution Amount, in the event that (i) the Purchase Agreement has been validly terminated, (ii) Parent Guarantor becomes obligated to pay any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser Parent Guaranty, and (iii) the WHP Member pays its Pro Rata Percentage (as defined in the Interim Investors’ Agreement) of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations prior to or substantially concurrently with the payment of the Damages Contribution Amount by the Indirect Committing Party, then the Indirect Committing Party hereby commits to promptly pay its Pro Rata Percentage of (A) any Damages payable by Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to a final and non-appealable order or judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction finding the existence of a breach by Purchaser of any of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the award of

 2 

 

money damages in connection therewith (a “Damages Judgment”) or (B) an amount in Damages, as agreed in writing between the Sellers’ Representative and Purchaser, to be paid by Purchaser in full and final settlement of any breach or alleged breach by Purchaser of any of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement (a “Damages Settlement”) (the amounts described in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the “Damages Contribution Amount” and the commitment to fund the Damages Contribution Amount, the “G-III Damages Commitment” and collectively with the G-III Commitment, the “Commitments”), solely for the purpose of allowing the WHP Member to fund (or cause Purchaser to fund) such Damages Judgment or Damages Settlement, and to cause such funds to be used only for such purpose, which amount shall reduce the actual amount required to be paid by the WHP Member thereunder, directly or indirectly, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, consistent with Section 4 hereof. In all cases, the Damages Contribution Amount shall equal the Damages paid by the WHP Member or the Parent Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, that, in no event shall the Damages Contribution Amount exceed the Indirect Contribution Amount.

(c)               For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or otherwise, in no event shall the Indirect Committing Party be required to make any payment under both clause (a) and clause (b) of this Section 1. In no event will the Indirect Committing Party be under any obligation under any circumstances to provide an aggregate amount of funds in excess of the amount of the Indirect Contribution Amount, including in respect of clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 1, as applicable.

(d)               The Indirect Committing Party and IPCo acknowledge and agree that upon the actual funding by the Indirect Committing Party of the Indirect Contribution Amount (or any portion thereof) pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1(a) of this letter agreement and the Interim Investors’ Agreement, the commitment of the Debt Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter shall be automatically and permanently reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount so funded.

2.            Conditions. The Indirect Committing Party’s obligations under this letter agreement to fund or cause the funding of its Commitment shall be subject to, (a) with respect to the Indirect Contribution Amount, (i) the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser (to the extent permitted by the Interim Investors’ Agreement) of all conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the Closing set forth in Article VIII of the Purchase Agreement (other than any conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the substantially concurrent satisfaction of such conditions at the Closing) and (ii) the prior or concurrent funding of a portion of the Sponsor Contribution Amount, the Debt Financing or such other funding of WHP Member (it being understood and agreed the amounts funded hereby shall equal and not exceed the Indirect Contribution Amount) equal to the Indirect Contribution Amount in accordance with the Interim Investors’ Agreement and concurrent consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement; and, (b) with respect to the G-III Damages Commitment, subject to (A) either (x) an award for damages having actually been awarded to Sellers pursuant to a Damages Judgment or (y) Purchaser and Sellers (or Sellers’ Representative on their behalf) having agreed in writing upon a Damages Settlement, and (B) the prior or concurrent funding by the WHP Member or Parent Guarantor of its applicable portion of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchaser Parent Guaranty.

3.            Funding.

(a)               Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter agreement and the Interim Investors’ Agreement, the Indirect Committing Party shall be obligated to fund the entire Indirect Contribution Amount on the Business Day immediately prior to the Closing Date, (the “Funding Date”); provided, that IPCo shall provide at least five (5) Business Days’ notice (email being sufficient) in advance of the anticipated Closing Date, into an account designated by IPCo to hold the funds of the Indirect Committing Party for the purpose set forth in Section 1(a) (the “Funding Account”).

(b)               In the event that the Closing is not consummated within ten (10) Business Days of the Funding Date, the Indirect Contribution Amount will be promptly returned to the Indirect Committing Party or its designee.

(c)               In addition to any obligations of IPCo, the Parent Guarantor or the WHP Member set forth in this letter agreement or the Interim Investors’ Agreement, IPCo will keep the Indirect Committing Party reasonably informed of the status of the funding contemplated hereunder, including the status of the Closing.

4.            Reduction of Indirect Contribution Amount. In accordance with this letter agreement and the Interim Investors’ Agreement, the WHP Member and the Indirect Committing Party may agree to reduce the Indirect Contribution Amount in accordance with the Interim Investors’ Agreement if the total proceeds required to consummate the Closing is reduced; provided, that any such reduction (i) will be made pro rata with the WHP Member in accordance with the Interim Investors’ Agreement (such that the Indirect Contribution Amount shall equal the amount funded by the WHP Member to IPCo at Closing) and (ii) shall automatically and permanently reduce the commitment of the Debt Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the Indirect Contribution Amount so reduced. If the Indirect Committing Party has previously funded the entire Indirect Contribution Amount into the Funding Account, IPCo shall cause the difference between the original Indirect Contribution Amount and the reduced Indirect Contribution Amount to be promptly (and in no event more than five (5) Business Days following the reduction of the total equity required to consummate the Closing) returned to the Indirect Committing Party together with any interest accrued thereon.

5.            Enforceability; Specific Performance. This letter agreement shall be binding on the Indirect Committing Party for the benefit of the WHP Member and IPCo and nothing set forth in this letter agreement shall (or shall be construed to) confer upon or give to any Person other than the WHP Member or IPCo any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce, the obligations of the Indirect Committing Party hereunder or any provision of this letter agreement. The Indirect Committing Party hereby agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this letter agreement were not performed by it in accordance with the terms hereof or were otherwise breached and that the WHP Member shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions hereof and to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, including causing the Indirect Committing Party to make the payments described in Section 1. The Indirect Committing Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that an adequate remedy at law is available or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate

 4 

 

remedy for any reason at law or in equity, and the WHP Member and IPCo shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

6.            Representations and Warranties. Each of the Indirect Committing Party, the WHP Member and IPCo represents and warrants to the other parties that:
