Business Opportunity. TPG shall have the right to, and shall have no duty not to, engage in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company or MIE, including those deemed to be competing with the Company or MIE, and in the event that TPG (or any of its Affiliates or appointed Directors) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate opportunity for the Company, TPG (and its Affiliates and appointed Directors) shall have no duty (contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable for breach of any duty (contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that TPG (or any of its Affiliates) directly or indirectly pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person, or does not present such opportunity to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that TPG acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that is likely to be a corporate opportunity for the Company solely as a result of an employee or agent of TPG (or any of its Affiliates) attending board meetings of the Company in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, then TPG will not pursue such opportunity for itself, or direct such opportunity to another Person, unless the Company has declined to pursue such opportunity or fails to actively pursue such opportunity within fifteen (15) days after it is notified by TPG about its interest in the opportunity.
