Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents (a) The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities and officials that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and will cooperate fully with the Seller in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals. Each party hereto agrees to make promptly its respective filing, if necessary, pursuant to the Competition Act (the costs of which shall be payable by the Purchaser) with respect to the Transactions within Twenty (20) Business Days of the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the Competition Act, and the Purchaser will promptly make all filings or notifications required under the ICA, if any.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the Purchaser’s undertaking pursuant to Section 5.05(a), the Purchaser agrees to use its reasonable best efforts and to take any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any antitrust, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other party so as to enable the parties hereto to expeditiously close the Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event, no later than April 30, 2008 (the “Termination Date”), including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, the sale, divesture or disposition of such of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant hereto, and the entry into such other arrangements as are required or advisable in order to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, which would otherwise have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the Transactions. In addition, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any claim asserted in court by any party in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, order or judgment (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that would prevent the Closing by the Termination Date.

Governmental and Regulatory Consents All approvals, consents and authorizations of, filings and registrations with, and applications and notifications to all Governmental Authorities required for the consummation of the Merger shall have been obtained or made and shall be in full force and effect and all waiting periods required by law shall have expired other than those the failure of which to have been obtained or made or to have expired would not reasonably be expected to have a detrimental impact on relations with Governmental Authorities; provided, however, that none of the preceding shall be deemed obtained or made if it shall be subject to any condition or restriction the effect of which, together with any other such conditions or restrictions, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Surviving Corporation or Parent after the Effective Time.
