Upon completion of the sale, the Seller received consideration of one dollar and the Seller paid the Buyer </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">$14.0 million</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#32;to support the Buyer&#8217;s construction of facilities for the acquired culinary arts, baking and pastry, and hospitality programs on Buyer&#8217;s campus, subject to possible partial recoupment under specified conditions during the 10-year period post-closing.

Accordingly, the pro forma financial statements, included at the end of this Current Report on Form 8-K, reflect a liability for a cease-use accrual of approximately $24 million, recorded as of the sale date.

If Seller so desires, and without the need for any consent or waiver by either Company or Buyer, DBR is permitted to represent Seller after the Closing in connection with any matter, including without limitation anything related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, DBR is permitted to represent Seller or any of its agents and Affiliates in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (&#8220;dispute&#8221; includes litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Buyer, a Company or any of their respective agents or Affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims for indemnification and disputes involving employment or other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement.  Upon and after the Closing, each Company shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with DBR, unless and to the extent DBR is specifically engaged in writing by the Company to represent the Company after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to Seller, or Seller consents in writing at the time to such engagement.  Any such representation of the Company by DBR after the Closing will not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.  For example, and not by way of limitation, even if DBR is representing a Company after the Closing, DBR is permitted simultaneously to represent Seller in any matter, including any disagreement or dispute relating hereto.  Furthermore, DBR is permitted to withdraw from any representation of a Company to be able to represent or continue so representing Seller, even if such withdrawal causes the Company or Buyer additional legal expense (such as to bring new counsel &#8220;up to speed&#8221;), delay or other prejudice.</font></div><div><a name="s87AA3EF52CECAFB5DB63C853F236B5A9"></a></div><div style="line-height:130%;padding-bottom:16px;text-align:justify;text-indent:48px;font-size:12pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">11.19</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;">Parent Obligations</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:12pt;">.
