(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties shall use all 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 Transactions, including obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, and Consent from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary Filings (including Filings with Governmental Entities, if any) and the taking of all commercially reasonable steps as may be necessary to obtain a Consent from, or to avoid a Proceeding by, any Governmental Entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.01, Subscriber shall not be required to license, divest, dispose of or hold separate any assets or businesses of either party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates or otherwise take or commit to take any action that limits its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, any of the assets or businesses of Subscriber or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or
5
that would otherwise have a material adverse effect on Subscriber. Except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, Subscriber shall not (and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates not to) take or agree to take any action that would be reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the Closing.
(b) Before the Closing, each party hereto shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and to cooperate in obtaining, all Consents from third parties necessary or appropriate to permit the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that the parties shall not be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any such Consent may be required (other than customary Filing fees payable to Governmental Entities, which shall be shared evenly between Subscriber and the Company, and nominal Filing or application fees payable to other third parties) and no party shall be required to agree to any conditions or restrictions imposed by any third party that, individually or in the aggregate, in the judgment of such party, would materially impair (or would reasonably be expected to materially impair) the ability of such party to consummate the Transactions. The Company shall not have any liability whatsoever to Subscriber arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any Consents that may be required in connection with the Transactions or because of the termination of any Contract as a result thereof. Subscriber acknowledges that no representation, warranty or covenant of the Company contained herein shall be breached or deemed breached, and no condition shall be deemed not satisfied, as a result of (i) the failure to obtain any such Consent, (ii) any such termination or (iii) any Proceeding commenced or threatened by or on behalf of any Person arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such Consent or any such termination.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Company and Subscriber shall as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five Business Days following the execution and delivery hereof, file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form, if any, required for the Transactions. Any such notification and report form and other Filings shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. The Company and Subscriber shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any Filing or submission that is necessary under the HSR Act. The Company and Subscriber shall keep each other apprised of the status of any communications with and any inquiries or requests for additional information from, the FTC, the DOJ and any other Governmental Entity and shall comply promptly with any such inquiry or request and shall promptly provide any supplemental information requested in connection with the Filings made hereunder pursuant to the HSR Act. Any such supplemental information shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subscriber shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its ultimate parent entity (as defined in or for purposes of the HSR Act) to, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the Transactions and to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event no later than the Outside Date), including taking all reasonable action to resolve such objections, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber shall not be required to contest any action, whether initiated by the FTC, DOJ, state antitrust enforcement authorities, competition authorities of any other nation or other jurisdiction or any other Governmental Entity or Person, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Transactions.
