Satisfaction of Closing Conditions (a) The parties shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to take all action necessary or appropriate to bring about the satisfaction as soon as possible of all the conditions contained in Section 7. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall apply for and diligently prosecute all applications for, and shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain, such consents, authorizations and approvals from such third parties and governmental authorities as shall be necessary to permit the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, making the requisite filings with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice pursuant to the HSR Act and each party will refrain from taking any action which would cause, and shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take any action necessary to prevent, any of the representations and warranties made by it in this Merger Agreement not to be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date with the same force and effect as then made (except with respect to representation and warranties which are made as of a specific date), subject only to exceptions permitted or expressly contemplated by this Merger Agreement. The Company further covenants and agrees, with respect to any threatened or pending judgment, order, injunction, decree or decision of any governmental authority that will adversely affect the ability of the parties hereto to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, to use all commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the entry or promulgation thereof and to defend and cooperate with each other in the defending of any legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative and whether brought derivatively or on behalf of third parties challenging the transaction contemplated hereby as the case may be, it being understood that such efforts shall not include any requirement of the Company to expend material sums of money or grant any material financial or other accommodation.

Frustration of Closing Conditions None of the Company, Parent or Sub may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.01, 6.02 or 6.03, as the case may be, to be satisfied if such failure was caused by such party’s failure to act in good faith or to use its commercially reasonable efforts to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as required by and subject to Section 5.03.
