The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
Section 2.04 Conversion of Shares.
(a) Conversion of Spinco Common Stock. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of RMT Parent, Merger Sub, Spinco or the holders of the Spinco Common Stock, each share of Spinco Common Stock (all shares of Spinco Common Stock being collectively, the “Spinco Shares”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be converted automatically into the right to receive one fully paid and non-assessable share of RMT Parent Common Stock (the “Merger Consideration”), and each holder of certificates or book-entry shares that immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time represented such Spinco Shares shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except (i) the right to receive the Merger Consideration, any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 3.01(c) and cash in lieu of any fractional shares payable pursuant to Section 3.01(e), in each case to be issued or paid, without interest, in consideration therefor and (ii) as provided by Applicable Law.
3
(b) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. At the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of RMT Parent, Merger Sub, Spinco or the holders of the Spinco Common Stock, each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Exchange Ratio True-Up. If the condition set forth in Section 8.03(b) would be unable to be satisfied solely because immediately after the Merger Effective Time, the percentage of outstanding shares of RMT Parent Common Stock to be received by the former holders of Spinco Common Stock with respect to Qualified Spinco Common Stock would be less than 50.1% (the “Threshold Percentage”) of all the stock of RMT Parent (including (i) any instruments that are treated as stock for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and (ii) any stock that may be issued after the Merger Effective Time, pursuant to the exercise or settlement of an option or other contract acquired or entered into on or before the Merger Effective Time that may be regarded as having been acquired or entered into before the Merger Effective Time as part of a “plan” of which the Distribution is a part within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code, determined without regard to any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)), including, for the avoidance of doubt, by reason of the failure of the representation set forth in Section 10(a)(ii) of the Tax Matters Agreement to be true in all relevant respects (an “RMT Parent Capitalization Breach”), then the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock issued pursuant to Section 2.04(d) and converted pursuant to Section 2.04(a) shall be increased such that the aggregate number of shares of RMT Parent Common Stock to be received by the former holders of Spinco Common Stock with respect to Qualified Spinco Common Stock equals the Threshold Percentage; provided, that no adjustment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) to the extent that any required increase is the result of a change in Applicable Law between the date of this Agreement and the Merger Effective Time; and provided, further, that to the extent any increase required under this Section 2.04(c) is the result of (x) actions taken by an LMC Entity pursuant to the plan (or series of related transactions) that includes the Distribution (within the meaning of Section 355(e) of the Code), or (y) the failure of the LMC Entities to take commercially reasonable action to prevent such an increase that otherwise would have been preventable, it being understood and agreed that neither (A) the mere decision to effect the Distribution by way of an Exchange Offer or One-Step Spin-Off nor (B) an RMT Parent Capitalization Breach shall be deemed to be an action or failure to take an action by the LMC Entities for purposes of clauses (x) and (y), then the amount of the Spinco Special Cash Payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of $55.2243 multiplied by the number of additional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 2.04(c).
(d) Issuance of Shares of Spinco Common Stock. As contemplated by Section 3.03 of the Separation Agreement, and subject to the adjustment provided in Section 2.04(c) and Section 3.01(f), on or before the Distribution Date, Spinco shall issue and deliver to LMC a number of shares of Spinco Common Stock equal to the difference of (i) the product of (A) the Exchange Ratio, multiplied by (B) 75,434,980, minus (ii) the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock held by LMC immediately prior to such issuance pursuant to Section 3.03 of the Separation Agreement and this Section 2.04(d).
4
Section 2.05 Charter and Bylaws of Surviving Corporation.
(a) The charter of Spinco immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of RMT Parent, Merger Sub, Spinco or the holders of Spinco Common Stock, shall be the charter of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with such charter and Applicable Law.
(b) The bylaws of Spinco immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of RMT Parent, Merger Sub, Spinco or the holders of Spinco Common Stock, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter duly amended in accordance with the charter of the Surviving Corporation, such bylaws and Applicable Law.
Section 2.06 Directors and Officers.
The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the charter and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and the officers of Spinco immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified or until such director’s or officer’s earlier death, resignation or removal.
Section 2.07 Board of Directors/Management of RMT Parent.
(a) The RMT Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary (a) to cause the number of directors comprising the RMT Parent Board as of the Merger Effective Time to be no more than 13 directors, and (b) to cause three individuals designated by LMC and reasonably acceptable to the RMT Parent Board to be appointed to the RMT Parent Board as of the Merger Effective Time to serve until the next annual meeting of the stockholders of RMT Parent; provided, that if any of such LMC designees is unable or unwilling to serve, then LMC shall select a reasonable replacement for such LMC designee. In connection with the next annual meeting of the stockholders of RMT Parent following the Merger Effective Time, the RMT Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary to include each of the LMC designees as nominees for the RMT Parent Board recommended by the RMT Parent Board for election by RMT Parent’s stockholders, subject in all events to the fiduciary duties of the RMT Parent Board of Directors, the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange and all other Applicable Laws. The RMT Parent Board shall take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that at least one of such LMC designees is appointed to serve on each committee of the RMT Parent Board, subject in all events to the requirements of the SEC, the New York Stock Exchange and all other Applicable Laws.
(b) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the Merger Effective Time, RMT Parent shall consult from time to time with and consider the views of LMC regarding the roles and responsibilities of members of the management of the Spinco Business in the management of RMT Parent and Spinco following the Closing; provided, however, that the ultimate decision as to the roles and responsibilities of members of the management of the Spinco Business following Closing shall be the responsibility of RMT Parent.
5
Section 2.08 The Distribution.
Immediately prior to the Merger, LMC and Spinco shall make the Distribution pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Separation Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in Section 4.02 of the Separation Agreement to the contrary, in the event LMC elects to effect the Distribution as the Exchange Offer, LMC shall extend the expiration date of such Exchange Offer for one or more consecutive increments of not more than 20 Business Days each (the length of such period to be determined by LMC in consultation with RMT Parent), if, as of any otherwise scheduled expiration of the Exchange Offer, any condition to the Exchange Offer or any condition to the consummation of the Merger, other than those conditions that are to be satisfied on the date of the expiration of the Exchange Offer or the Closing Date, has not been satisfied or waived (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law), it being understood that, without the consent of RMT Parent, no such extension shall extend the expiration date of such Exchange Offer to a time later than, the earlier of (a) the later of (i) the date that is 15 Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the closing of the Merger, other than those conditions that are to be satisfied on the date of the Closing Date and (ii) the date that is 35 Business Days after the commencement of the Exchange Offer and (b) a number of Business Days prior to the Termination Date sufficient to permit the consummation of any Clean-Up Spin-Off prior to the Termination Date.

CONVERSION OF EQUITY AWARDS
Section 3.01 Exchange Fund.
(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, RMT Parent shall appoint Computershare Trust Company, NA (or another nationally recognized commercial bank or trust company mutually agreed to by LMC and RMT Parent) to act as exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) for the delivery of the Merger Consideration in accordance with Article II and this Article III. RMT Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Spinco Shares, for exchange in accordance with Section
6
2.04 and this Article III promptly after the Merger Effective Time, book-entry shares representing the Merger Consideration issuable to holders of Spinco Shares as of the Merger Effective Time pursuant to Section 2.04(a) (such book-entry shares of RMT Parent Common Stock, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.01(c) and other amounts payable in accordance with Section 3.01(e), the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions from RMT Parent delivered to the Exchange Agent as of the Closing, deliver the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund as contemplated by this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by RMT Parent. Any interest or other income from such investments of the Exchange Fund shall be paid to and become income of RMT Parent. Except as contemplated by Section 3.01(g), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in this Section 3.01(a).
(b) Exchange Procedures.
(i) As promptly as practicable after the Merger Effective Time, RMT Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to distribute the shares of RMT Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Spinco Common Stock that were distributed in the Distribution have been converted pursuant to the Merger to the Persons who received Spinco Common Stock in the Distribution. Each Person entitled to receive Spinco Common Stock in the Distribution shall be entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Spinco Common Stock distributed to such Person a book-entry authorization representing the number of whole shares of RMT Parent Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock, as contemplated by Section 3.01(e), together with any dividends or distributions and other amounts pursuant to Section 3.01(c)). The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to RMT Parent Common Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except as contemplated by Section 3.01(c).
(ii) Until exchanged as contemplated by this Section 3.01, each Spinco Share shall be deemed at all times after the Merger Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender of such Spinco Share, without interest, the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock that the holder of such Spinco Share may be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.01(e) and any dividends or other distributions such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.01(c).
(c) Distributions with Respect to Undistributed Shares of RMT Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions declared after the Merger Effective Time with respect to RMT Parent Common Stock shall be paid with respect to any shares of RMT Parent Common Stock that are not able to be distributed by the Exchange Agent promptly after the Merger Effective Time, whether due to a legal impediment to such distribution or otherwise. Subject to the effect of abandoned property, escheat or other Applicable Laws, following the distribution of any such previously undistributed shares of RMT Parent Common Stock, there shall be paid to the record holder of such shares of RMT Parent Common Stock, without interest, (i) at the time of the distribution, the amount of cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of RMT
7
Parent Common Stock to which such holder may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Merger Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of RMT Parent Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Merger Effective Time but prior to the distribution of such whole shares of RMT Parent Common Stock and a payment date subsequent to the distribution of such whole shares of RMT Parent Common Stock.
(d) No Further Rights in Spinco Common Stock. All shares of RMT Parent Common Stock issued upon the exchange of Spinco Common Stock in accordance with the terms of Article II and this Article III (including any cash paid pursuant to Section 3.01(c) or Section 3.01(e)) shall be deemed to have been issued or paid, as the case may be, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Spinco Common Stock.
(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock or book-entry credit of the same shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Spinco Common Stock, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the owner thereof to vote, or to any other rights of a stockholder of RMT Parent. All fractional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock that a holder of shares of Spinco Common Stock otherwise would be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated by the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall cause the whole shares obtained thereby to be sold on behalf of such holders of shares of Spinco Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock in the Merger, in the open market or otherwise, in each case at then-prevailing market prices, and in no case later than five Business Days after the Merger Effective Time. The Exchange Agent shall pay the net proceeds thereof, subject to the deduction of the amount of any withholding Taxes as contemplated in Section 3.01(i) and brokerage charges, commissions and Transfer Taxes, on a pro rata basis, without interest, as soon as practicable to the holders of Spinco Common Stock that otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock in the Merger. The payment of cash in lieu of fractional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock to holders of Spinco Common Stock is solely for the purpose of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to RMT Parent of issuing fractional shares and does not represent separately bargained for consideration.
(f) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into RMT Parent Common Stock or Spinco Common Stock), extraordinary cash dividends (other than the RMT Parent Special Dividend), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to RMT Parent Common Stock or Spinco Common Stock (other than, in the case of Spinco Common Stock, to the extent contemplated in the Separation Agreement) with a record date occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Merger Effective Time, other than the issuance of stock by Spinco in connection with the Separation, the Spinco Special Cash Payment, or the other Contemplated Transactions; provided that nothing in this Section 3.01(f) shall be construed to permit Spinco, RMT Parent or Merger Sub to take any action with respect to its securities that otherwise is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.
8
(g) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including proceeds of any investment thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Spinco Shares on the one-year anniversary of the Merger Effective Time shall, subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law, be delivered to RMT Parent, upon demand, and any former holders of Spinco Shares who have not theretofore received shares of RMT Parent Common Stock in accordance with this Article III shall thereafter look only to RMT Parent for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(a), any cash in lieu of fractional shares of RMT Parent Common Stock to which they may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(e) and any dividends or other distributions with respect to the RMT Parent Common Stock to which they may be entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(c) (subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar law).
(h) No Liability. None of RMT Parent, LMC, Spinco, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person for any portion of the Exchange Fund (or dividends or distributions with respect to RMT Parent Common Stock) or any cash delivered to a public official in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
(i) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, and RMT Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amount as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons otherwise entitled thereto in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
Section 3.02 Stock Transfer Books.
From and after the Merger Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Spinco shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Spinco Shares thereafter on the books or records of Spinco.
Section 3.03 No Appraisal Rights.
In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of Spinco Shares in connection with the Merger.
Section 3.04 Treatment of LMC Equity Awards.
(a) Stock Options. Each LMC Stock Option held by a Spinco Business Employee or Former Spinco Business Employee and outstanding as of the Merger Effective Time, without any action on the part of any Party or the Spinco Business Employee or Former Spinco Business Employee, shall remain outstanding as an option to acquire shares of LMC Common Stock and shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the applicable LMC IPAP and the relevant award agreement in respect thereof.
(b) Restricted Stock Units. Each LMC Restricted Stock Unit in respect of an award made by LMC prior to January 1, 2016 that is held by a Spinco Business Employee and

Each LMC Restricted Stock Unit in respect of an award made by LMC on or after January 1, 2016, without any action on the part of any Party or the Spinco Business Employee, shall be converted into RMT Parent RSUs on the same terms and conditions that governed such LMC Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time (including in respect of the preservation of Deferred Dividend Equivalents (as defined in the LMC 2011 IPAP)), as set forth in the LMC 2011 IPAP and the relevant award agreement in respect thereof, except that the number of RMT Parent RSUs into which each LMC Restricted Stock Unit shall be converted will equal the RSU Conversion Ratio.
(c) Performance Share Units. Each LMC Performance Share Unit held by a Spinco Business Employee and outstanding as of the Merger Effective Time, without any action on the part of any Party or the Spinco Business Employee, shall remain outstanding as an LMC Performance Share Unit, shall be eligible to partially vest at the end of the applicable vesting period in accordance with the terms and conditions of the LMC 2011 IPAP and the relevant award agreement in respect thereof, and shall be entitled to receive shares of LMC Common Stock at the end of the applicable vesting period based on the terms and conditions of the LMC IPAP and the relevant award agreement in respect thereof.
(d) Miscellaneous. The Parties shall take all actions reasonably necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Section 3.04. In furtherance and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, RMT Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement or statements registering a number of shares of RMT Parent Common Stock necessary to fulfill RMT Parent’s obligations under this Section 3.04.

The Spinco Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, except as described on Section 4.07(a)(2) of the LMC Disclosure Letter, applied on a consistent basis, for segment reporting information in the consolidated financial statements of LMC and do not include all statements, information (including allocations of overhead expenses pushdown of certain corporate assets and liabilities such as Taxes) and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Spinco Financial Statements have been prepared using the accounting policies and practices, applied on a consistent basis, disclosed in the audited annual consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of LMC for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Spinco Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position and the combined results of operations of the Spinco Business as a segment of LMC, as of the respective dates thereof or the periods then ended, in each case except as may be noted therein.
(b) When delivered pursuant to Section 7.16, the Spinco Audited Financial Statements shall present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position and the combined results of operations of the Spinco Business as of the dates thereof or for the periods covered thereby, and will have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied based on the historic practices and accounting policies of LMC to the extent compliant with GAAP (it being understood, however, that the Spinco Business has not been operating historically as a separate “standalone” entity or reporting segment and, therefore, the Spinco Audited Financial Statements will reflect certain adjustments necessary to be presented on a stand-alone basis in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements). The Spinco Audited Financial Statements shall conform in all material respects to the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to financial statements for each of the periods that will be required to be included in the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement or, if applicable, the Schedule TO.
(c) Except (i) as set forth in the Spinco Financial Statements or the notes thereto, (ii) as specifically contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or (iii) as set forth in Section 4.07(c) of LMC Disclosure Letter, since December 31, 2015, the LMC Entities and the Transferred Subsidiaries have not incurred any Liabilities that will be liabilities of Spinco or the Transferred Subsidiaries as an Assumed Liability pursuant to the Separation Agreement and that are of a nature that would be required to be disclosed on a combined balance sheet of the Spinco Business or in the notes thereto prepared in conformity with GAAP, other than Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business or Liabilities that would not reasonably be expected to have a Spinco Material Adverse Effect.
(d) LMC maintains, and has maintained, a standard system of accounting established and administered in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis. LMC and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
15
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements of LMC in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis and to maintain accountability for assets, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. To the knowledge of LMC, since December 31, 2015, neither LMC nor any of its Subsidiaries nor the JV Entities has identified or been made aware of any material illegal act or fraud related to the business of the Spinco Business.
(e) LMC has timely filed all certifications and statements required by (i) Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the Exchange Act or (ii) 18 U.S.C. Section 1350 (Section 906 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002) with respect to all applicable LMC SEC Documents. LMC maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information concerning LMC and its Subsidiaries is made known on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of LMC’s SEC filings and other public disclosure documents. As used in this Section 4.07, the term “filed” shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied or otherwise made available to the SEC.
(f) LMC has delivered to RMT Parent a true, complete and fully executed copy of a commitment letter, including (i) all exhibits, schedules, attachments and amendments to such commitment letter in effect as of the date of this Agreement and (ii) any associated fee letters (together, the “Spinco Commitment Letter”) from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“CGMI”), The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (“BTMU”), Bank of America, N.A. (“BoA”), Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (“MLPFS”), JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMCB”), X.X. Xxxxxx Securities, LLC (“JPMS”) and Xxxxxxx Sachs Bank USA (“GS”) (CGMI, BTMU, BoA, MLPFS, JPMCB, JPMS and GS, together with all additional lenders and financing sources added to the Spinco Commitment Letter or any Alternative Spinco Commitment Letter, the “Spinco Lenders”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Spinco Lenders have committed to Spinco to provide, or cause to be provided, to Spinco debt financing in the aggregate amount set forth therein (the bank and/or bond financings, in each case contemplated by the Spinco Commitment Letter, being referred to as the “Spinco Financing”). As of the date of this Agreement, (x) the Spinco Commitment Letter has not been amended, waived or modified and (y) the respective commitments contained in the Spinco Commitment Letter have not been withdrawn, modified or rescinded in any respect. Except for the Spinco Commitment Letter (together with all ancillary documents referenced therein), there are no side letters or other contracts, instruments or other commitments, obligations or arrangements (whether written or oral) related to the funding of the full amount of the Spinco Financing.
(g) The Spinco Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Spinco and, to the knowledge of LMC and Spinco, the other parties thereto (in each case, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity). As of the date of this Agreement (assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties and undertakings of RMT Parent and Merger Sub under this
16
Agreement for such purpose), no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of Spinco under any term or condition of the Spinco Commitment Letter. Other than as set forth in the Spinco Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent to the funding of the full amount of the Spinco Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02, Spinco has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Spinco Financing that are required to be satisfied by it or any other party to the Spinco Commitment Letter as a condition to the obligations under the Spinco Commitment Letter will not be satisfied on a timely basis or that the Spinco Financing contemplated by the Spinco Commitment Letter will not be available to Spinco immediately prior to, or on, the Distribution Date.

Since December 31, 2015, there has not occurred any Spinco Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.10 Registration Statements; Proxy Statement; Schedule TO.
The information supplied by LMC specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statements and the Proxy Statement and, if applicable, the Schedule TO and any other filing contemplated by Section 7.01, shall not, at (a) the time each Registration Statement is declared effective, (b) the time the Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto) is first mailed to the stockholders of RMT Parent, (c) the time of the RMT Parent Stockholders’ Meeting, (d) the time the Schedule TO is filed with the SEC or (e) the Merger Effective Time, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or fail to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

With respect to each U.S. LMC Plan, LMC has made available to RMT Parent (to the extent applicable) (i) a true and complete copy of the current plan document and any material amendments thereto, (ii) copies of (1) the most recent summary plan description and any summaries of material modifications thereto and (2) the most recent annual report on Form 5500 (including any applicable schedules and attachments thereto) filed with the Department of Labor, and (iii) the most recent determination or opinion letter received from the IRS (if any).

Section 4.14(b) of the LMC Disclosure Letter indicates by an asterisk those Non-U.S. LMC Plans that are maintained, contributed to or sponsored solely by a Spinco Company (each, a “Non-U.S. Spinco Plan”). With respect to each Non-U.S. LMC Plan, LMC has made available to RMT Parent (to the extent applicable) (i) a true and complete copy of the current plan document and any material amendments thereto and (ii) copies of the most recent summary plan description and any summaries of material modifications thereto.
(c) Except as set forth in Section 4.14(c) of the LMC Disclosure Letter, each LMC Plan (and any related trust or other funding vehicle) has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and as applicable is in compliance in all material respects with ERISA, the Code and all other material Applicable Laws. Each of LMC and its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with ERISA, the Code and all other material Applicable Laws. All employer and employee contributions required to have been made by LMC to each U.S. LMC Plan have, in all material respects, been timely made. There is no material Proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of LMC threatened, with respect to any U.S. Spinco Plan, other than ordinary course claims for benefits. Each U.S. Spinco Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS, or an application for a favorable determination by the IRS has been timely filed and is currently pending, and, to the knowledge of LMC, nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected to result in a loss of the Tax-qualified status of such U.S. Spinco Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code. To the knowledge of LMC, no UK Spinco Business Employee has any claim or right in respect of any benefits payable on early retirement or redundancy under any occupational pension scheme which claim or right has transferred to LMC or will transfer to Spinco on or after the Distribution Date pursuant to the Transfer Regulations.
21
(d) No Liability under Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA has been incurred by LMC or any Person that is a member of a “controlled group of corporations” with, or is under “common control” with, or is a member of the same “affiliated service group” with LMC, in each case, as defined in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code (each, an “ERISA Affiliate”) that has not been satisfied in full, and, to the knowledge of LMC, no condition exists that presents a material risk to LMC or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any such liability, other than liability for premiums due the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (which premiums have been paid when due). No U.S. LMC Plan that is subject to Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (a “Title IV Plan”) or any trust established thereunder has incurred any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of each Title IV Plan ended prior to the Closing. Neither LMC nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has, within the preceding six years, withdrawn in a complete or partial withdrawal from any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) or incurred any liability under Section 4204 of ERISA that has not been satisfied in full.
(e) Each Non-U.S. LMC Plan has been administered in compliance in all material respects with its terms and operated in compliance in all material respects with Applicable Laws. Each Non-U.S. LMC Plan required to be registered or approved by a non-U.S. governmental entity has been so registered or approved and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, and, to the knowledge of LMC, no event has occurred since the date of the most recent approval or application therefor relating to any such Non-U.S. LMC Plan that could reasonably be expected to materially affect any such approval relating thereto or increase the costs relating thereto in a manner material to LMC. Each Non-U.S. LMC Plan is funded or insured in material compliance with Applicable Law. LMC’s Israeli Affiliated Transferor’s Liability towards the Israeli Employees regarding severance pay, accrued vacation and contributions to all Funds are fully funded or, if not required by any source to be fully funded, are accrued on LMC’s Israeli Affiliated Transferor’s financial statements as of the date of such financial statements. LMC’s Israeli Affiliated Transferor specifically declares that the employment agreements of all Israeli Employees duly adopted the terms and conditions detailed in the general approval of the Minister of Labor regarding payments by employers to a pension fund and insurance fund in lieu of severance pay in accordance with Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963 as of their start date of employment and based on their full determining salary for purposes of severance pay, and accordingly the LMC Israeli Affiliated Transferor’s contributions to the severance component within the Funds of the Israeli Employees fully satisfy its severance pay liability towards the Israeli Employees for the period of their employment up to the Distribution Date.
(f) Except as set forth in Section 4.14(f)(1) of the LMC Disclosure Letter, none of the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the Internal Reorganization, the Distribution or the consummation of the Merger or any other Contemplated Transaction (alone or in conjunction with any other event, including any termination of employment) will (i) entitle any Spinco Business Employee to any material compensation or benefit, (ii) accelerate the
22
time of payment or vesting, or trigger any payment or funding, of any material compensation or benefit or trigger any other material obligation under any LMC Plan, or (iii) result in any breach or violation of or default under, or limit LMC’s right to amend, modify or terminate, any LMC Plan, in each case except as provided in this Agreement or the Employee Matters Agreement or pursuant to Applicable Law. Except as disclosed in Section 4.14(f)(2) of the LMC Disclosure Letter, no amounts payable under the LMC Plans will fail to be deductible for federal income Tax purposes by virtue of Section 280G of the Code as a result of the occurrence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either alone or in combination with another event.

LMC complies in all material respects with all such LMC Union Contracts.

58
(b) RMT Parent shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours after RMT Parent attains knowledge thereof) notify LMC, orally and in writing, after the receipt by RMT Parent or any of its Representatives of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) with respect to a Competing RMT Parent Transaction, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to RMT Parent or any of its Affiliates or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of RMT Parent or any of its Affiliates.

RMT Parent agrees that it shall substantially simultaneously provide to LMC any non-public information concerning RMT Parent that may be made available pursuant to Section 7.03(c) to any other Person in response to any such proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) unless such information has previously been provided or made available by RMT Parent to LMC.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.03, at any time prior to the receipt of the RMT Parent Stockholder Approval, RMT Parent may furnish information to, and enter into discussions and negotiations with, a Person who has made an unsolicited, written, bona fide proposal or offer with respect to a Competing RMT Parent Transaction that did not arise or result from any breach of this Section 7.03 if, prior to furnishing such information and entering into such discussions, the RMT Parent Board has (i) determined, in its good faith judgment (after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) that such proposal or offer constitutes, or is reasonably likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal and has determined, in its good faith judgment (after consulting with outside legal counsel) that the failure to furnish such information to, or enter into such discussions with, the Person who made such proposal or offer would be inconsistent with the RMT Parent Board’s fiduciary duties to RMT Parent and/or its stockholders under Applicable Law, (ii) provided written notice to LMC of its intent to furnish information or enter into discussions with such Person at least three Business Days prior to taking the first of any such action with respect to any given Person and (iii) obtained from such Person an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and any related agreements shall not include any provision granting such Person exclusive rights to negotiate with RMT Parent or having the effect of prohibiting RMT Parent from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement) and, immediately upon its execution, delivered to LMC a copy of such Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement.
(d) Except as set forth in this Section 7.03(d), neither the RMT Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify, modify, amend or fail to make, or propose

publicly to withdraw, qualify, modify or amend the RMT Parent Recommendation, (ii) make any public statement or take any action inconsistent with the RMT Parent Recommendation or (iii) approve or adopt, or recommend the approval or adoption of, or publicly propose to approve or adopt, any Competing RMT Parent Transaction (any of the actions described in (i), (ii) or (iii), a “Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation”). Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(i) the RMT Parent Board may make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation if (A) other than in connection with or as a result of the making of a Competing RMT Parent Transaction, a material development or change in circumstances that was not known or reasonably foreseeable (or if known or reasonably foreseeable, the probability or magnitude of consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable) to the RMT Parent Board on the date of this Agreement occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement, which material development or change in circumstances becomes known to the RMT Parent Board prior to the RMT Parent Stockholders’ Meeting (such material development or change in circumstances being referred to as an “Intervening Event” (it being understood that in no event shall (i) any action taken by any Party pursuant to and in compliance with the affirmative covenants set forth in Article VI, or any action taken or omitted with the consent of RMT Parent (in the case of actions taken or omitted by LMC or Spinco) or any action taken or omitted by RMT Parent, and the consequences of any such action or omission, or (ii) the receipt, existence of or terms of a Competing RMT Parent Transaction constitute an Intervening Event), (B) the RMT Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with its outside legal counsel, that an Intervening Event has occurred; (C) the RMT Parent Board does not effect, or cause RMT Parent to effect, a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation at any time within three business days after LMC receives written notice from RMT Parent that the RMT Parent Board has determined that an Intervening Event requires the RMT Parent Board to effect, or cause RMT Parent to effect, a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation (provided, a new notice shall be required with respect to any change in circumstances and a new notice period of three business days shall begin); (D) during such applicable period, if requested by LMC, RMT Parent engages in good faith negotiations, and directs its financial advisors and outside legal advisors to, engage in good faith negotiations, with LMC to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for the RMT Parent Board to effect, or cause RMT Parent to effect, a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation as a result of such Intervening Event; and (E) the RMT Parent Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, a failure to make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation would be inconsistent with the RMT Parent Board’s fiduciary duties to RMT Parent or its stockholders under Applicable Law; or
(ii) if at any time prior to the receipt of the RMT Parent Stockholder Approval and in response to the receipt of an offer or proposal with respect to a Competing RMT Parent Transaction that did not arise or result from any breach of this Section 7.03, the RMT Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel), that such offer or proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and determines in its good faith judgment (after consulting with outside legal counsel) that the failure by the RMT Parent Board to make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation with respect
60
to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to RMT Parent and its stockholders under Applicable Law, the RMT Parent Board may, with respect to such Superior Proposal, make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation; provided, however, that the RMT Parent Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation pursuant to this Section 7.03(d)(ii) unless:
(1) RMT Parent has provided written notice to LMC (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising LMC that the RMT Parent Board has received a Superior Proposal promptly after the RMT Parent Board determines it has received a Superior Proposal, stating that the RMT Parent Board intends to make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation describing the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal; and
(2) LMC does not, within five Business Days of receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal (the “Notice Period”), make an offer or proposal to revise the terms of this Agreement (any such offer, a “Revised Transaction Proposal”) in a manner that the RMT Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, to be at least as favorable to RMT Parent’s stockholders as such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that, during the Notice Period, RMT Parent shall negotiate in good faith with LMC (to the extent LMC desires to negotiate) regarding any Revised Transaction Proposal; provided, further, that any amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal during the Notice Period shall require a new written notice of the terms of such amended Superior Proposal from RMT Parent and an additional three Business Day Notice Period that satisfies this Section 7.03(d)(ii)(2), including with respect to RMT Parent’s obligations to negotiate in good faith with LMC.
(e) Any disclosure that the RMT Parent Board may be compelled to make with respect to the receipt of a proposal or offer with respect to a Competing RMT Parent Transaction or otherwise consistent with its fiduciary duties to RMT Parent and its stockholders under Applicable Law or Rule 14d-9 or with Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act will not constitute a violation of this Section 7.03; provided, however, that neither the RMT Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation in connection with such disclosure (it being understood that any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of RMT Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) shall not be considered a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation) unless permitted by Section 7.03(d). Any Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation shall not change the approval of the RMT Parent Board for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other Applicable Law to be inapplicable to the Contemplated Transactions.
(f) LMC agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and that it will instruct its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information), or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to LMC’s stockholders), with respect to any Competing Spinco Transaction, (ii) enter into, maintain, continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person or entity in furtherance of inquiries or to obtain a
61
proposal or offer with respect to a Competing Spinco Transaction, (iii) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend or consummate any Competing Spinco Transaction or (iv) enter into any Competing Spinco Transaction Agreement. LMC acknowledges and agrees that it shall be responsible for the actions of its Subsidiaries and Representatives. LMC acknowledges and agrees that the taking of any of the actions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) by LMC or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach by LMC of this Section 7.03(f). LMC acknowledges and agrees that if any of its Representatives takes any actions that, if taken by LMC, would constitute a breach of this Section 7.03, such actions shall be attributed to LMC and LMC shall be responsible. LMC shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct its Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than RMT Parent and its Affiliates) conducted prior to the execution of this Agreement by LMC or any of its Representatives with respect to a Competing Spinco Transaction. LMC shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and LMC shall instruct its Representatives not to, release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or, subject to applicable duties of its directors under Applicable Law, standstill agreement to which it or one of its Affiliates is a party in connection with a Competing Spinco Transaction. LMC shall, and shall cause it Subsidiaries to, promptly request each Person (other than RMT Parent and its Affiliates) that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with LMC or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Person’s consideration of a Competing Spinco Transaction (whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement and, if requested by RMT Parent, to enforce such Person’s obligation to do so. LMC shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours after LMC attains knowledge thereof) notify RMT Parent, orally and in writing, after the receipt by LMC or any of its Representatives of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) with respect to a Competing Spinco Transaction, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to LMC or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Spinco Business, or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of LMC or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Spinco Business. The receipt by LMC of a proposal in respect of a Competing Spinco Transaction shall not in any way or manner alter, hinder or delay LMC or Spinco from satisfying its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 7.04 Access to Information.
(a) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, upon reasonable notice, LMC shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) afford RMT Parent and its authorized Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties and books and records of the Spinco Business; and (ii) furnish to the authorized Representatives of RMT Parent such additional available information regarding the Spinco Business (or copies thereof), as RMT Parent may from time to time reasonably request; provided, that (x) any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at RMT Parent’s expense, during normal business hours, under the supervision of LMC’s personnel and in such a manner as not to interfere significantly with the normal operations of the Spinco Business; (y) all requests for access pursuant to this Section 7.04(a) shall be made in writing and shall be directed to and coordinated with a person or persons designated by LMC in writing; and (z) RMT Parent shall not, and shall cause its Representatives
62
not to, contact any of the employees, customers, distributors or suppliers of any LMC Entity in connection with, or for the purposes of, the Contemplated Transactions, whether in person or by telephone, mail, or other means of communication, without the specific prior written authorization of LMC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, LMC shall not be required to provide any access or disclose any information to RMT Parent or its Representatives if such disclosure could reasonably be expected to (A) jeopardize, or result in a loss or waiver of, any attorney-client or other legal privilege, (B) contravene any Applicable Law, fiduciary or other duty or any agreement or (C) result in the loss of protection of any proprietary information or trade secrets of any LMC Entity. When accessing any of LMC’s properties, RMT Parent shall, and shall instruct its Representatives to, comply with all of LMC’s safety and security requirements for the applicable property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (I) in no event shall LMC be required to provide any information relating to any Excluded Assets or any Excluded Liabilities; and (II) neither RMT Parent nor any of its Representatives shall be allowed to sample or analyze any soil or groundwater or other environmental media, or any building material, without the prior written consent of LMC, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of LMC.
(b) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing, upon reasonable notice, RMT Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) afford LMC and its authorized Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties and books and records of RMT Parent and its Subsidiaries; and (ii) furnish to the authorized Representatives of LMC such additional available information regarding RMT Parent and its Subsidiaries (or copies thereof), as LMC may from time to time reasonably request; provided, that (x) any such access or furnishing of information shall be conducted at LMC’s expense, during normal business hours, under the supervision of the personnel of RMT Parent or its Subsidiaries and in such a manner as not to interfere significantly with the normal operations of the businesses of RMT Parent and its Subsidiaries; (y) all requests for access pursuant to this Section 7.04(b) shall be made in writing and shall be directed to and coordinated with a person or persons designated by RMT Parent in writing; and (z) LMC shall not, and shall cause its Representatives not to, contact any of the employees, customers, distributors or suppliers of any RMT Parent Entity in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, whether in person or by telephone, mail, or other means of communication, without the specific prior written authorization of RMT Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, RMT Parent shall not be required to provide any access or disclose any information to LMC or its Representatives if such disclosure could reasonably be expected to (A) jeopardize, or result in a loss or waiver of, any attorney-client or other legal privilege, (B) contravene any Applicable Law, fiduciary or other duty or any agreement or (C) result in the loss of protection of any proprietary information or trade secrets of any RMT Parent Entity. When accessing any of the properties of RMT Parent or its Affiliates, LMC shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, comply with all of RMT Parent’s or its Affiliates’ safety and security requirements for the applicable property.

Section 7.05 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification.
(a) The bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification than are set forth in the bylaws of Spinco, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Merger Effective Time in any manner that could reasonably be expected to affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Merger Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of Spinco, unless such modification shall be required by Applicable Law.
(b) In the event the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, or at RMT Parent’s option, RMT Parent, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.05.
Section 7.06 Regulatory and Other Authorizations; Notices and Consents.
(a) Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable commercial efforts to (i) promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental Authorities that may be or become necessary for its execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, (ii) cooperate fully with the other Parties in promptly seeking to obtain all such authorizations, consents, orders and approvals and (iii) provide such other information to any Governmental Authority as such Governmental Authority may reasonably request in connection herewith. Each Party agrees to, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, make promptly its respective filing, if necessary, pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws under which filing is required or under which the Parties reasonably mutually determine that filing is advisable with respect to the Contemplated Transactions 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 HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws. The Parties shall determine the jurisdictions in which filings will be made under the Antitrust Laws within ten Business Days of the date of this Agreement. Each Party agrees to, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, make as promptly as practicable its respective filings and notifications, if any, under any other Applicable Law regarding Government Contracts, Government Bids, trade regulation, security clearances or any other relevant matters and to supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Authorities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to such other Applicable Laws. RMT Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, pay all filing or notice fees in connection with the foregoing filings and notifications.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the undertakings of the Parties pursuant to Section 7.06(a), and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, RMT Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, take any and all steps reasonably necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or any other Person so as to enable the Parties to close the Contemplated Transactions as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Termination Date, including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by
64
consent decree, hold separate orders or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or disposition of its assets, properties or businesses or of the assets, properties or businesses to be acquired by it pursuant hereto, and the entrance into such other arrangements, as are necessary or advisable to avoid the entry of, and the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any Proceeding that otherwise would reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially delaying or preventing the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; provided that the effectiveness of such sale, divestiture or disposition or entry into such other arrangement may be made contingent on the consummation of the Merger; provided, further, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to require RMT Parent or Merger Sub to (x) institute any legal proceedings against any Governmental Authority or (y) undertake any efforts or to take any action if the taking of such efforts or action is or would reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a material and adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, business, results of operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of (A) Spinco and the Transferred Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or of (B) RMT Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (each of such actions, a “Burdensome Condition”); and neither LMC, nor Spinco, nor any of their Subsidiaries shall take any action that has the effect of, or agree with any Governmental Authority to, any Burdensome Condition without the prior written consent of RMT Parent. In addition, RMT Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any Proceeding by any Person 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 prior to the Termination Date. To assist RMT Parent in complying with its obligations under this Section 7.06(b), LMC shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, enter into agreements or arrangements on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to RMT Parent to be entered into by any of them prior to the Closing with respect to any matters contemplated by this Section 7.06(b); provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 7.06(b) or in any of the Transaction Documents shall require LMC or any of its Affiliates to agree to any sale, divestiture, disposition or other arrangement with respect to any businesses or assets other than the Spinco Business, (ii) the effectiveness of any sale, divestiture or disposition or entry into such other arrangements shall be contingent on the consummation of the Merger and (iii) RMT Parent shall indemnify LMC and its Affiliates for their reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses in providing such assistance.
(c) Each Party shall promptly notify the other Parties of any communication it or any of its Representatives receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the ability to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and permit the other Parties to review in advance any proposed communication by such Party to any Governmental Authority. The Party providing communications for review under the foregoing sentence shall consider, in good faith, the suggestions made by the other Parties. None of the Parties shall agree to participate in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, investigation (including any settlement of an investigation), litigation or other inquiry unless it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other Parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods, including under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Law. Each Party shall, and shall cause its
65
Representatives to, provide each other with copies of all correspondence, filings or communications between them or any of their respective Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of its staff, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that materials may be redacted (i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Spinco Business; (ii) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or Applicable Law; and (iii) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided, further, that a Party may designate information that it views to be commercially sensitive or competitively sensitive to be viewed only by outside antitrust counsel for the other Parties, and such designation shall be honored by the Parties receiving that information. This Section 7.06(c) shall not apply with respect to the Internal Reorganization.
(d) Each Party agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any transaction, or any agreement to effect any transaction (including any merger, acquisition or other business combination) that could reasonably be expected to make it more difficult, or to increase the time required, to (i) obtain the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, or under any other Applicable Law, in respect of the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) avoid the entry of, the commencement of litigation seeking the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order that could reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or (iii) obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of Governmental Authorities necessary or reasonably mutually determined as advisable for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.
Section 7.07 Release from Financial Support Arrangements.
LMC, Spinco, and RMT Parent shall (and RMT Parent shall cause its Affiliates to) (RMT Parent and its Affiliates, collectively, the “RMT Parent Group”), cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to obtain, in the case of each Financial Support Arrangement set forth on Section 7.07 of the LMC Disclosure Letter, either (a) the unconditional release of each Retained LMC Entity from the Financial Support Arrangements identified in Section 7.07 of the LMC Disclosure Letter from and after the Closing Date, or (b) substitute guarantees or other credit support so that a member of the RMT Parent Group is substituted in place of the Retained LMC Entity that is party to such Financial Support Arrangements, such that LMC or such Retained LMC Entity may terminate such Financial Support Arrangement upon notice, without further obligation to the LMC or such Retained LMC Entity (each of (a) or (b), a “Financial Support Arrangement Release”); provided, however, that any such release or substitution must be effected pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to LMC and RMT Parent. From and after the Merger Effective Time, RMT Parent shall not permit any member of the RMT Parent Group to (i) renew or extend the term of or (ii) increase its obligations under, or (iii) transfer to a third party, any loan, contract or other obligation for which a Retained LMC Entity is or would reasonably be expected to be liable under any Financial Support Arrangement. In the event the parties have not, as of the Closing, obtained a Financial Support Arrangement Release with respect to any Financial Support Arrangement, RMT Parent shall, and shall cause a member of the RMT Parent Group to, (x) if requested by LMC, perform such obligations on behalf of such Retained LMC Entity; or (y) otherwise take such action as reasonably requested by LMC so as to put LMC or the applicable Retained LMC Entity in
66
materially the same position as if RMT Parent, or such member of the RMT Parent Group, and not such Retained LMC Entity, had performed or was performing such obligations. All third party costs and expenses incurred in connection with the release or substitution of such Financial Support Arrangements shall be borne by RMT Parent. From and after the Closing, RMT Parent shall indemnify LMC and its Subsidiaries fully in respect of any and all Damages incurred by such Person to the extent arising from any Financial Support Arrangements from and after the Closing.
Section 7.08 Financing.
(a) RMT Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the conditions and comply with the obligations that are set forth in the RMT Commitment Letter applicable to, and within the control of or that require the cooperation of, RMT Parent to be fulfilled (or waived, if deemed advisable by RMT Parent) in a timely fashion in accordance with its terms, (ii) maintain the RMT Commitment Letter in effect until the initial funding of the RMT Financing, (iii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto, on the terms and conditions contained therein (including the “market flex” provisions) or on such other terms that would not be prohibited by clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 7.08(d) (the “RMT Financing Agreements”), and (iv) if all conditions precedent under the RMT Commitment Letter have been satisfied, on the Closing Date, RMT Parent shall cause the RMT Lenders to fund the RMT Financing and RMT Inc. to pay the RMT Parent Special Dividend if all conditions to Closing contained in Sections 8.01 and 8.03 are satisfied or waived (by the applicable party that is the beneficiary of such condition). In the event any funds in the amounts set forth in the RMT Commitment Letter or the RMT Financing Agreements, or any portion thereof, become unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the RMT Commitment Letter or the RMT Financing Agreements, RMT Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts, subject to Section 7.08(d), to obtain promptly any such portion from alternative sources, including on terms materially no less favorable, in the aggregate, to RMT Parent than those set forth in the RMT Commitment Letter (in each case as determined in the reasonable discretion of RMT Parent), in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the RMT Financing that is available, to finance the RMT Parent Special Dividend (the “RMT Alternative Financing”) and provide promptly to LMC a copy of any new financing commitment letter and any associated fee letters (the “Alternative RMT Commitment Letter”); provided that the terms of any such RMT Alternative Financing must be consistent with the Tax-Free Status, as reasonably determined by LMC. In the event any RMT Alternative Financing is obtained, any reference in this Agreement to “RMT Financing” shall include “RMT Alternative Financing,” any reference to “RMT Commitment Letter” shall include the “Alternative RMT Commitment Letter,” any reference to “RMT Lenders” shall include the financial institutions providing such RMT Alternative Financing, and any reference to “RMT Financing Agreements” shall include any definitive agreements with respect to the Alternative RMT Commitment Letter, and all obligations of RMT Parent pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall be applicable thereto to the same extent as RMT Parent’s obligations with respect to the RMT Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, if the RMT Financing is available and all conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied or waived or will be satisfied or waived at the Closing, RMT Parent shall take all actions within its control necessary to allow RMT Inc. to incur the indebtedness provided under the RMT Financing to consummate the RMT Parent Special Dividend.
67
(b) LMC shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts (i) cause the conditions and comply with the obligations that are set forth in the Spinco Commitment Letter applicable to, and within the control of or that require the cooperation of, LMC to be fulfilled (or waived, if deemed advisable by LMC) in a timely fashion in accordance with its terms, (ii) maintain the Spinco Commitment Letter in effect until the initial funding of the Spinco Financing, (iii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect thereto, on the terms and conditions contained therein (including the “market flex” provisions) or on such other terms that would not be prohibited by Section 7.08(e) (the “Spinco Financing Agreements” and, together with the RMT Financing Agreements, the “Financing Agreements”), and (iv) if all conditions precedent under the Spinco Commitment Letter have been satisfied, LMC shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, cause the Spinco Lenders to fund the Spinco Financing prior to or substantially contemporaneously with the Distribution and pay the Spinco Special Cash Payment if all conditions to Closing contained in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 are, or, on the Closing Date can be reasonably be expected to be, satisfied or waived (by the applicable party that is the beneficiary of such condition). In the event any funds in the amounts set forth in the Spinco Commitment Letter or the Spinco Financing Agreements, or any portion thereof, become unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Spinco Commitment Letter or the Spinco Financing Agreements, LMC shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, in consultation with RMT Parent, use reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly any such portion from alternative sources, on terms acceptable to RMT Parent, in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Spinco Financing that is available, to finance the Spinco Special Cash Payment (the “Spinco Alternative Financing” and, together with any RMT Alternative Financing, the “Alternative Financings” and each, an “Alternative Financing”) and provide promptly to RMT Parent a copy of any new financing commitment letter and any associated fee letters (the “Alternative Spinco Commitment Letter”); provided that the terms of any such Spinco Alternative Financing must be consistent with the Tax-Free Status, as reasonably determined by LMC. In the event Spinco Alternative Financing is obtained, any reference in this Agreement to “Spinco Financing” shall include “Spinco Alternative Financing,” any reference to “Spinco Commitment Letter” shall include the “Alternative Spinco Commitment Letter,” any reference to “Spinco Lenders” shall include the financial institutions providing such Alternative Financing, and any reference to “Spinco Financing Agreements” shall include any definitive agreements with respect to the Alternative Spinco Commitment Letter, and all obligations of LMC pursuant to this Section 7.08 shall be applicable thereto to the same extent as LMC’s obligations with respect to the Spinco Financing. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Spinco Financing is available and all conditions to the Closing set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied or waived or will be satisfied or waived at the Closing, Spinco shall, and LMC shall cause Spinco to, take all actions within its control necessary to cause Spinco to incur the indebtedness provided under the Spinco Commitment Letter to make the Spinco Special Cash Payment.
(c) RMT Parent and LMC shall each give the other prompt written notice (v) of any material breach (or threatened material breach) or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach or default) by any party to the Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements, (w) of the receipt of any written notice of any actual or threatened withdrawal, repudiation or termination of either Financing by any of the Lenders, (x) of the receipt of any written notice of any material dispute or disagreement between or among any of the parties to the Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements, (y) of any amendment or modification of, or
68
waiver under, the Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements or (z) if for any reason either believes in good faith that it or its Affiliates will not be able to timely obtain all or any portion of the RMT Financing or Spinco Financing, as applicable, on the terms and in the manner or from the sources contemplated by the RMT Commitment Letter or the Spinco Commitment Letter, as applicable, or the RMT Financing Agreements or the Spinco Financing Agreements, as applicable. RMT Parent and LMC shall keep one another informed upon reasonable request and in reasonable detail of the status of their efforts to arrange the RMT Financing and the Spinco Financing, as applicable.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, RMT Parent may amend, modify, replace, waive or change any provision in the RMT Commitment Letter or any of the RMT Financing Agreements; provided that any such amendment, modification, replacement, waiver or change must be consistent with the Tax-Free Status, as reasonably determined by LMC; provided, further that RMT Parent shall not permit or agree to any such amendment, modification, replacement, waiver or change to be made to the RMT Commitment Letter or any of the RMT Financing Agreements without obtaining the prior written consent of LMC, that would (i) change, amend, expand or modify the conditions precedent set forth therein, or impose new or additional conditions, in each case in any manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the RMT Financing, (ii) reduce the aggregate cash amount of the RMT Financing such that the aggregate funds that would be available to RMT Parent upon the closing of the RMT Financing would not be sufficient to fund the RMT Parent Special Dividend, (iii) decrease the aggregate cash amount of the RMT Financing as set forth in the RMT Commitment Letter such that such aggregate amount is less than the aggregate cash amount to be funded upon the closing thereof as set forth in the RMT Commitment Letter as of the date hereof, or (iv) amend or modify any other term or provision in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of RMT Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or adversely impact the ability of RMT Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the RMT Commitment Letter or any of the RMT Financing Agreements. Notwithstanding anything herein, RMT Parent may modify, supplement or amend the RMT Commitment Letter or any of the RMT Financing Agreements, (x) to add lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the RMT Commitment Letter as of the date hereof and (y) to implement or exercise any market flex provisions provided in, the RMT Commitment Letter as in effect as of the date hereof. In such event, the term “RMT Commitment Letter” as used herein shall be deemed to include the new or amended commitment letters entered into in accordance with this Section 7.08(d), and the term “RMT Financing” as used herein shall be deemed to include any substitute financing obtained in accordance with this Section 7.08(d); provided, however, that in the event any portion of the RMT Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the RMT Commitment Letter, the second sentence of Section 7.08(a), and not this Section 7.08(d), shall govern with respect to the terms of any replacement financing to be obtained after any portion of the RMT Financing becomes unavailable as described therein.
(e) Neither Spinco nor LMC shall, nor shall they permit or cause their respective Affiliates to, amend, modify, supplement, replace, waive or change any provision in the Spinco Commitment Letter or any of the Spinco Financing Agreements without the prior written consent of RMT Parent; provided that LMC or its Affiliates may modify, supplement or
69
amend the Spinco Commitment Letter or any of the Spinco Financing Agreements to implement any market flex exercised by the Spinco Lenders in accordance with the Spinco Commitment Letter as of the date hereof. If RMT Parent so consents or such market flex is exercised, the term “Spinco Commitment Letter” as used herein shall be deemed to include the new commitment letters (or ancillary documents) entered into in accordance with this Section 7.08(e), if applicable, or amendments to the existing Spinco Commitment Letter and the term “Spinco Financing” as used herein shall be deemed to include any substitute financing obtained in accordance with this Section 7.08(e), if applicable, or amendments to the existing Spinco Commitment Letter; provided, however, that in the event any portion of the Spinco Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Spinco Commitment Letter, the second sentence of Section 7.08(b), and not this Section 7.08(e), shall govern with respect to the terms of any replacement financing to be obtained after any portion of the Spinco Financing becomes unavailable as described therein.

LMC will use reasonable best efforts to procure, at its expense, the delivery of the consents of its independent accountants required to be filed with the Form S-4 Registration Statement or any future registration statement until such independent accountant consents are no longer required.

77
segment and, therefore, the financial statements of the Spinco Business will reflect certain adjustments necessary to be presented on a stand-alone basis in accordance with GAAP and SEC requirements) applied on a consistent basis through the periods involved (except as may otherwise be required under GAAP) and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including the requirements of Regulation S-X, and, in the case of the combined financial statements of the Spinco Business for any fiscal year, LMC shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such financial statements shall be audited and accompanied by a report of the independent accountants for the Spinco Business and for any quarterly period, LMC shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that such financial statements shall be reviewed by the independent accountants for the Spinco Business. When delivered, such financial statements shall present fairly in all material respects the combined financial position and combined and consolidated results of operations of the Spinco Business as of the dates and for the periods shown therein. LMC acknowledges that RMT Parent’s obligations under Section 7.01 depend, in part, on LMC’s compliance with this Section 7.16, and therefore RMT Parent shall be afforded a reasonable period to comply with such obligations based upon the timing of LMC providing the financial statements contemplated in this Section 7.16.
(c) In connection with the filing of the RMT Parent Registration Statement and other SEC filings, LMC shall use its reasonable efforts during the pre-Closing period and after the Closing to (i) cooperate with RMT Parent to prepare pro forma financial statements that comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC to the extent required for SEC filings, including the requirements of Regulation S-X and (ii) provide and make reasonably available upon reasonable notice the senior management employees of LMC to discuss the materials prepared and delivered pursuant to this Section 7.16.

From and after the Closing, RMT Parent shall be responsible for recording, and upon RMT Parent’s reasonable request, LMC shall cooperate with the Spinco Companies to record, the assignment of the Transferred Intellectual Property to the applicable Spinco Company (i.e., to properly reflect such Spinco Company as the record owner thereof) (the “Spinco Assignment Recordations”) and to otherwise effect any Corrective Change not made by LMC or the Spinco Companies prior to the Closing.
Section 7.18 Spinco Authorized Shares.
Prior to the Distribution, LMC and Spinco shall take all such actions necessary to amend and restate Spinco’s organizational documents, in form reasonably acceptable to RMT Parent, such that the authorized number of Spinco shares shall exceed the number of Spinco shares contemplated by Section 2.04(d) of this Agreement and Section 3.03 of the Separation Agreement.

The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of LMC and RMT Parent; provided that RMT Parent or LMC may collaterally assign its rights (but not its obligations) under this Agreement to any of the Lenders or any Lender Related Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment, delegation or other transfer of rights under this Agreement shall relieve the assignor of any liability or obligation hereunder.

The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation” unless such phrase otherwise appears. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, Exhibits, Schedules, Disclosure Letters and Attachments shall be deemed references to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits, Schedules, Disclosure Letters and Attachments to, this Agreement. Unless the context otherwise requires, the words “hereof,” “hereby” and “herein” and words of similar meaning when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular Article, Section or provision hereof. Except when used together with the word “either” or otherwise for the purpose of identifying mutually exclusive alternatives, the term “or” has the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or”. With regard to each and every term and condition of this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that, if at any time the Parties desire or are required to interpret or construe any such term or condition or any agreement or instrument subject thereto, no consideration shall be given to the issue of which Party actually prepared, drafted or requested any term or condition of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Disclosure Letters, in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, the information and disclosures contained in any Section of a Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other Section of such Disclosure Letter as though fully set forth in such other Section to the extent the relevance of such information to such other Section is reasonably apparent on its face notwithstanding the omission of a reference or a cross-reference with respect thereto and notwithstanding any reference to a Section of such Disclosure Letter in this Agreement. Certain items and matters are listed in the Disclosure Letters for informational purposes only and may not be required to be listed therein by the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall the listing of items or matters in a Disclosure Letter be deemed or interpreted to broaden, or otherwise expand the scope of, the representations and warranties or covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. No reference to, or disclosure of, any item or matter in any Section of this Agreement or any Section of a Disclosure Letter shall be construed as an admission or indication that such item or matter is material or that such item or matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement or in such Disclosure Letter. Without limiting the foregoing, no reference to, or disclosure of, a possible breach or violation of any contract or agreement, Applicable Law or Governmental Order shall be construed as an admission or indication that a breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or PDF), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.

Section 10.10 Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by federal law and by the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to the choice of law provisions thereof); except that, notwithstanding the foregoing, all matters relating to interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort, by statute or otherwise) against any of the Lenders or Lender Related Parties in any way relating to the Financing, shall be exclusively governed by, and construed in accordance with, the domestic Law of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
Section 10.11 Dispute Resolution, Consent to Jurisdiction.
(a) Any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions shall be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and each of the Parties hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such Proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such Proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of Delaware. Without limiting the foregoing, RMT Parent, LMC and Spinco agree that service of process upon such Party at the address referred to in Section 10.02 (or such other address as may be specified in accordance with Section 10.02 shall be deemed effective service of process upon such Party). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING (INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, INCLUDING ANY LITIGATION AGAINST ANY LENDER OR LENDER RELATED PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
90
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SPINCO COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.11.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 10.11(a) to the contrary, and without limiting anything set forth in Section 10.18, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any suit, action or other proceeding (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any Lender or Lender Related Party in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing or, if applicable, any Alternative Financing, or the performance thereof, in any forum other than any New York State court or federal court sitting in the County of New York and the Borough of Manhattan (and appellate courts thereof). The parties hereto further agree that all of the provisions of the preceding clause (a) relating to waiver of jury trial shall apply to any suit, action or other proceeding referenced in this clause (b).
Section 10.12 Severability.
Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. The application of such invalid or unenforceable provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law. To the extent any provision of this Agreement is determined to be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or determined to be impermissible by any Governmental Authority, RMT Parent, LMC and Spinco agree to use reasonable commercial efforts to substitute one or more valid, legal and enforceable provisions that, insofar as practicable, implement the purposes and intent of the prohibited, unenforceable, or impermissible provision.
Section 10.13 Captions.
The captions herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in the construction or interpretation hereof.
Section 10.14 Specific Performance.
Each Party acknowledges that money damages would be both incalculable and an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by such Party and that any such breach would cause the other Parties irreparable harm. Accordingly, each Party also agrees that, in the
91
event of any breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement by such Party, the other Parties shall be entitled to equitable relief without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, including in the form of injunctions and orders for specific performance, in addition to all other remedies available to such other Parties at law or in equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties agree that each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the other Parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the obligation to consummate the Closing and the RMT Parent Share Issuance and the obligations with respect to the Financing), if the conditions set forth in Article VIII have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) or waived (where permissible under Applicable Law). The Parties agree that they will not contest the appropriateness of specific performance as a remedy.
Section 10.15 Payments.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, all payments by a Party to another Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account in the United States designated by the recipient when due. Any amount remaining unpaid beyond its due date, including disputed amounts that are ultimately determined to be payable, shall bear interest at the Interest Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, in no event shall the amount or rate of interest due and payable exceed the maximum amount or rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law.
