Section 6.3. Amendments; Extension; Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed (x) in the case of an amendment, by Parent and the Stockholder, and, in the case of an amendment of Section 4.2, this Section 6.3 or Section 6.7 that would be materially adverse to the Company’s

ability to consummate the Transactions (including the Merger), the Company and (y) in the case of a waiver, by the Company (solely with respect to Stockholder’s obligations under Section 4.2 to the extent such waiver would be materially adverse to the Company’s ability to consummate the Transactions (including the Merger)) and/or by the party (or parties) against whom the waiver is to be effective. Subject to the prior written approval of the Company to the extent relating to the Stockholder’s obligations under Section 4.2 where such contemplated extension or waiver would be materially adverse to the Company’s ability to consummate the Transactions (including the Merger), Parent may, to the extent legally allowed: (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or acts of the other parties hereunder, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other parties contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company or any party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. No agreement on the part of the Company or a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid unless set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Company or such party. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

Section 6.4. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that Parent may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of any other party to an Affiliate of Parent as of the date hereof, so long as Parent remains liable for such assignee’s obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. [For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement will be binding on any co-trustee, custodian or successor trustee of the Trust.]25 Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 6.4 shall be void.

Section 6.5. No Partnership, Agency, or Joint Venture.

(b) The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, could occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties may be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts described in Section 6.10(a), without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Stockholder nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of any injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 6.10(b) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 6.11. Interpretation. Unless expressly provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the following provisions:

(a) Each of the parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that it has executed the same with the advice of said counsel. Each party and its counsel cooperated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged between

the parties shall be deemed the work product of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its preparation.

(c) When a reference is made in this Agreement to Articles or Sections, such reference shall be to an Article or Section, as applicable, of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

(m) References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

Section 6.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Electronic signatures (including those received as

a .pdf attachment to electronic mail) shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the other party hereto.

Section 6.13. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 6.14. Reliance. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent and Merger Sub are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.
