Third Party Approvals (a) Except with respect to Regulatory Approvals which are addressed in Section 5.03, Permits which are addressed in Section 5.04, and the Shared Contracts which are addressed in Section 5.05, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consents, waivers, approvals, orders and authorizations necessary to transfer and assign the Non-Assignable Assets (the “Third Party Approvals”) prior to the Closing. To the extent that any Third Party Approval has not been obtained prior to Closing, for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, at either Party’s request, to endeavor to obtain such Third Party Approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be required to incur any Liabilities or provide any financial accommodation, in order to obtain any such Third Party Approval with respect to the transfer or assignment of any Non-Assignable Asset for the benefit of the Party to whom such Non-Assignable Asset is contemplated to be transferred under this Agreement (the “Receiving Party”).
(b) In addition, to the extent permitted by Law and the terms of the Non-Assignable Asset, in the event any Third Party Approval has not been obtained by Closing, at the Receiving Party’s request, the Party contemplated to be transferring such Non-Assignable Asset under this Agreement (the “Transferring Party”) shall hold in trust for the Receiving Party, as applicable, the relevant Non-Assignable Asset until such time as the Third Party Approval is obtained, but in no event longer than one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date. During such time period, the Transferring Party shall comply with all applicable covenants and obligations under the Non-Assignable Assets, including the payment of any costs or expenses in connection therewith, which shall be performed by the Transferring Party for the Receiving Party’s account and the Receiving Party shall promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of an invoice from the Transferring Party) reimburse the Transferring Party for any out-of-pocket costs, expenses or payments made by the Transferring Party in respect of such Non-Assignable Asset. For the period not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by Law and the terms of the Non-Assignable Asset, the Receiving Party shall be entitled to receive all of the benefits of the Transferring Party under the Non-Assignable Asset. The Receiving Party agrees to indemnify and hold the Transferring Party and its Affiliates, agents, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all Liabilities based upon, arising out of or relating to the performance of, or failure to perform, any obligations under the Non-Assignable Assets that are for the benefit of the Receiving Party, provided that the Transferring Party’s negligence or willful misconduct has not caused any such Liabilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the Closing Date, a Transferring Party shall have no obligation to renew any Non-Assignable Asset upon the expiration or termination thereof. In addition, to the extent that any Non-Assignable Asset contains an “evergreen” provision that automatically renews such Non-Assignable Asset unless terminated or cancelled by either party thereto, a Transferring Party shall not be prohibited from terminating or canceling such Non-Assignable Asset as permitted pursuant to the terms thereof.
Governmental and Third Party Approvals The Credit Parties shall have received all material governmental, shareholder and third party consents and approvals necessary (or any other material consents as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Administrative Agent) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the other transactions contemplated hereby and all applicable waiting periods shall have expired without any action being taken by any Person that could reasonably be expected to restrain, prevent or impose any material adverse conditions on any of the Credit Parties or such other transactions or that could seek or threaten any of the foregoing, and no law or regulation shall be applicable which in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent could reasonably be expected to have such effect.
Regulatory Consents and Approvals All consents, approvals and actions of, filings with and notices to any Governmental or Regulatory Authority necessary to permit the Company and the Stockholders to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby shall have been duly obtained, made or given and shall be in full force and effect, and all waiting periods imposed by any Governmental or Regulatory Authority necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall have terminated or expired.
Governmental Authorization; Third Party Consents No approval, consent, compliance, exemption, authorization or other action by, or notice to, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, and no lapse of a waiting period under any Requirement of Law, is necessary or required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance (including, without limitation, the purchase of the Purchased Shares) by, or enforcement against, such Purchaser of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Regulatory Matters and Approvals Each of the Parties will give any notices to, make any filings with, and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any necessary authorizations, consents, and approvals of governments and governmental agencies in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

Each Party shall (i) promptly supply the other with any information which may be required in order to effectuate such filings, (ii) submit promptly any additional information which may be reasonably requested by any such Governmental Body, and (iii) coordinate with the other Party in making any such filings or information submissions pursuant to and in connection with the foregoing that may be necessary, proper, or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the Contemplated Transactions.
(b) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 5.4, in connection with its efforts to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations, and the expiration or termination of all applicable waiting periods for the Contemplated Transactions under any Antitrust Law, each Party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate with the other with respect to any investigation or other inquiry; (ii) promptly provide to the other a copy of all communications received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any Governmental Body, in each case regarding the Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) to the extent not prohibited under applicable Antitrust Law, permit the other to review in advance any communication given by it to any Governmental Body concerning the Contemplated Transactions, consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with any proposed written communications by such Party to any Governmental Body concerning the Contemplated Transactions, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or telephone or video conference with, any Governmental Body, and give the other or its outside counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences unless prohibited by the applicable Governmental Body; provided, that materials required to be provided pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) may be restricted to outside counsel and redacted to (A) remove references concerning the valuation of either Party, (B) comply with contractual arrangements, and (C) preserve attorney-client privilege. Neither Party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Body to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under applicable Antitrust Law, or pull and refile under the HSR Act, without the prior written consent of the other.

Each Party shall reasonably cooperate with the other Party in obtaining and maintaining any required approvals and rights for which such Party is responsible.
