provided, however, that Seller and its Subsidiaries may proceed with any such ownership, affiliation, or conduct notwithstanding such Competing Business being in excess of the aforementioned thresholds, if, and only if, Seller and the applicable Subsidiaries or the Competing Person, as applicable, (A) enter into a definitive agreement no later than twelve (12) months after the consummation of such ownership, affiliation or conduct to divest a sufficient portion of such Competing Business or (B) wind down, no later than twelve (12) months after the consummation of such acquisition, a sufficient portion of such Competing Business, such that, after giving effect to such divestiture or wind down, no more than (x) ten percent (10%) of the total annual consolidated revenues or annual EBITDA of such Competing Person and (y) $100,000,000 of the total annual consolidated revenues or $25,000,000 of annual EBITDA of such Competing Person, taken as a whole, are generated from the Competing Business;

provided, however, that the Restricted Parties may proceed with any such acquisition notwithstanding such Competing Business being in excess of the aforementioned thresholds, if, and only if, Seller and the applicable Subsidiaries (A) enter into a definitive agreement no later than twelve (12) months after the consummation of such acquisition to divest a sufficient portion of such Competing Business or (B) wind down, no later than twelve (12) months after the consummation of such acquisition, a sufficient portion of such Competing Business, such that, after giving effect to such divestiture or wind down, no more than (x) ten percent (10%) of the total annual consolidated revenues or annual EBITDA of such Competing Person and (y) no more than $100,000,000 of the total annual consolidated revenues or $25,000,000 of annual EBITDA of such Competing Person, taken as a whole, are generated from the Competing Business. (c) If Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is involved in a Business Combination where neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Business Combination is the Controlling Entity after the Business Combination, the restrictions contained in this Section 5.14 shall not apply to the operations or businesses of any third party(ies) to the Business Combination or any of such third party’s Subsidiaries which were Subsidiaries of such third party prior to the Business Combination, in each case, as conducted prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, but shall only apply to the operations of Seller or its Subsidiaries or, if the operations of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries is integrated or consolidated with any other business of such third party of any of its Subsidiaries, the resulting business after such integration or consolidation.
