Commercially Reasonable Best Efforts Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using commercially reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all reasonable acts necessary to cause the conditions precedent set forth in Article VI to be satisfied, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations, declarations and filings (including registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to avoid any suit, claim, action, investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, (iii) the obtaining of all consents, approvals or waivers from third parties required as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, (iv) the defending of any suits, claims, actions, investigations or proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (v) the execution or delivery of any additional instruments reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Parent or the Company to agree to any divestiture by itself or any of its affiliates of shares of capital stock or of any business, assets or property, or the imposition of any material limitation on the ability of any of them to conduct their business or to own or exercise control of such assets, properties and stock.

Commercially Reasonable To the extent that applicable Requirements of Law impose duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent to do any of the following:
Reasonable Best Efforts (a) Each party shall make or cause to be made, in cooperation with the other parties and to the extent applicable and as promptly as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the Agreement Date: (i) an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Offer and the Merger; and (ii) all other necessary filings, forms, declarations, notifications, registrations and notices with other Governmental Bodies under any other antitrust, competition, trade regulation (including Japanese Foreign Exchange Law), or other Law relating to the Offer and the Merger, in each case as Parent may deem necessary. Each party shall promptly: (A) respond at the earliest practicable date to any requests for additional information made by any Governmental Body; (B) act in good faith and reasonably cooperate with the other party in connection with any investigation by any Governmental Body; (C) furnish to each other all information required for any filing, form, declaration, notification, registration and notice subject to advice of such party’s antitrust counsel; and (D) share equally all fees and expenses incurred in connection with filings made in connection with this Section 5.5(a). In connection with the foregoing: (1) whenever possible, each party shall give the other party reasonable prior notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding or agreement with, any Governmental Body regarding any filings, forms, declarations, notifications, registrations or notices, and permit the other to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, any proposed communication, understanding or agreement with any Governmental Body with respect to the Merger, subject to advice of such party’s antitrust counsel; (2) where reasonably practical, none of the parties hereto shall independently participate in any meeting or conversation, or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Body in respect of any filings or inquiry without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Body, the opportunity to attend and/or participate; (3) if one party is prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Body from participating in or attending any meetings, conferences or conversations, the attending party shall keep the other reasonably apprised with respect thereto; and (4) the parties hereto shall consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any information or proposals submitted in connection with proceedings under or relating to any antitrust Laws.
Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Notification (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other Transactions, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Entity vacated or reversed and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of the Transaction Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that it is the intention of each of the parties hereto that the TM Distribution (including obtaining all necessary third party consents and approvals with respect thereto, including as required under any securities laws) shall become payable immediately following the Effective Time to Company common stockholders of record one business day prior to the Closing Date and each party hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to achieve the same. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, the Company and the Company Board shall (i) take all action necessary to ensure that the TM Distribution is paid on terms and conditions consistent with the TM Distribution Conditions and the terms set forth in Exhibit B, (ii) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to any Transaction or this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, and (iii) if any state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation becomes applicable to this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, take all action necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on the Merger and the other Transactions. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require any party to waive any substantial rights or agree to any substantial limitation on its operations or to dispose of any significant asset or collection of assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Representatives shall not be prohibited under this Section 6.03(a) from taking any action permitted by Section 5.02(b). Subject to applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company and Parent and their respective counsel shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult the other on, any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions. The Company and Parent shall provide the other party and its counsel with the opportunity to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions.
Commercially Reasonable Efforts; Further Assurances From and after the Execution Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable and (ii) defend any lawsuits or other Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or seek to have lifted or rescinded any injunction or restraining order or other order adversely affecting the ability of the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger. Without limiting the foregoing but subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that, from time to time, whether before, at or after the Closing Date, each of them will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such instruments of assignment, transfer, conveyance, endorsement, direction or authorization as may be necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement will require any party hereto to hold separate or make any divestiture not expressly contemplated herein of any asset or otherwise agree to any restriction on its operations or other condition in order to obtain any consent or approval or other clearance required by this Agreement.
Good Faith and Commercially Reasonable Manner Performance of all obligations under this Annex, including, but not limited to, all calculations, valuations and determinations made by either party, will be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

All Reasonable Efforts Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and to the fiduciary duties and obligations of the boards of directors of the parties hereto to their respective shareholders, as advised by their counsel, each of the parties to this Agreement shall use all reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations, or to remove any injunctions or other impediments or delays, legal or otherwise, as soon as reasonable practicable, to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
