Authorization; Validity of Agreement (a) The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, subject to the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the affirmative vote of the requisite holders of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (the “Company Required Vote”). The execution, delivery, and performance by the Company hereof and the consummation by the Company of the Transactions have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Company Board”). The Company Board has directed that this Agreement and the Transactions be submitted to the Company’s stockholders for approval and adoption at a meeting of such stockholders and, except for the approval and adoption hereof by the Company Required Vote and the filing of the Certificate of Merger pursuant to the DGCL, no other corporate proceedings on the part of the Company are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance hereof by the Company and the consummation of the Transactions. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution, and delivery hereof by the Parent and Merger Sub, is a valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be subject to or limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other similar Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and (ii) the effect of general principles of equity.
(b) Assuming the accuracy of Section 5.15, the Company Board has taken all requisite action that is necessary so that the restrictions on “business combinations” between the Company and an “interested stockholder” as provided in Section 203 of the DGCL are inapplicable to the Merger and any of the other Transactions, including the Consent Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby. No “moratorium,” “control share,” “fair price” or other antitakeover Laws are applicable to the Merger or any of the other Transactions, including the Consent Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.
