The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as directed by Parent; provided that (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall relieve Parent from making the payments required by this Article 2 or affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable hereunder, and following any losses Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent in the amount of any such losses, (ii) no such investment shall have maturities that could prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement and (iii) such investments shall be in short-term obligations of the United States with maturities of no more than thirty (30) days, or guaranteed by, and backed by the full faith and credit of, the United States. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments shall be payable to the Surviving Corporation. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of shares of Company Common Stock and the payment of the Merger Consideration in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock.

(b) Promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days after the Effective Time, Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each record holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.03(a) a letter of transmittal and instructions in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery or transfer of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates pursuant to Section 2.09) to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate, within two (2) Business Days, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a duly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of shares of Company Common Stock, and, in each case, delivery to the Exchange Agent of such other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Exchange Agent. Until so surrendered or transferred, each such Certificate shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive such Merger Consideration. No interest shall be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender or transfer of such Certificate.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate and from and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration as provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Article 2.

(e) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the holder’s compliance with the replacement requirements established by the Exchange Agent, including, if necessary, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such customary amount as the Surviving Corporation may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, as contemplated under this Article 2.

(f) Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.05 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding Section 2.03, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and owned by a holder or beneficial owner who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing, who is entitled to appraisal and who has properly exercised appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into, nor represent, a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment of the appraised value of such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, following which such shares shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such owner fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or validly waives or loses such owner’s right to appraisal, pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such owner is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.03(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share. The Company shall provide Parent prompt written notice and copies of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or that relates to a demand for an appraisal, and Parent shall have the opportunity and right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not (x) waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or otherwise comply with Section 262 of the DGCL or (y) make any payment with respect to, or offer to settle or settle, any such demands.

Financing Sources have committed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to provide debt financing in the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”), for the purpose of financing a portion of the Financing Purposes. As of the date hereof, none of the Financing Commitment Letters has been withdrawn, terminated, repudiated, rescinded, amended or modified, no terms thereunder have been waived, and, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter to the knowledge of Parent and Merger Sub, no such withdrawal, termination, repudiation, rescission, amendment, modification or waiver is contemplated, except, with respect to the Debt Commitment Letter, for the potential addition as parties to the Debt Commitment Letter of lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities who have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof.

For purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent, subordinated and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

(B) unless during such five (5) Business Day period (or three (3) Business Day period following an amended, modified or changed proposal), the Company shall, and shall make its Representatives available to, to the extent requested by Xxxxxx, discuss and negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Guarantees and the Financing Commitment Letters as would enable the Company Board or the Special Committee, to maintain the Company Recommendation and not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement; and

(C) unless, prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period (or three (3) Business Day period following an amended proposal), Parent does not make a written proposal to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Guarantees and the Financing Commitment Letters that the Company Board or the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with a Company Financial Advisor (or, in the case of the Special Committee, a Special Committee Financial Advisor) and outside legal counsel) to be at least as favorable to the Company’s stockholders as the Superior Proposal.

(ii) In the case of an Intervening Event, no Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 6.03(b) may be made:

(A) until after the fifth (5th) Business Day following written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Company Board or the Special Committee intends to take such action and specifying the material facts underlying the determination by the Company Board or the Special Committee that an Intervening Event has occurred, and the reason for the Adverse Recommendation Change, in reasonable detail (a “Notice of Intervening Event”);

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) cause the definitive Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13e-3 to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC and confirmation from the SEC that it will not review, or that it has completed its review of, the Proxy Statement, which confirmation will be deemed to have occurred if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company by 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth (10^th) calendar day following such filing with the SEC that the SEC will or will not be reviewing the Proxy Statement (and if such calendar day is not a Business Day, then such confirmation will be deemed to have occurred on the next succeeding Business Day thereafter), (B) solicit from stockholders of the Company proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and (C) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure Stockholder Approval or any other vote of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock required by Applicable Law to effect the Merger. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act in a manner to enable the record date for the Stockholder Meeting to be set so that the Stockholder Meeting can be held promptly following the effectiveness of the Proxy Statement. The Company shall keep Parent informed with respect to proxy solicitation as reasonably requested by Xxxxxx and shall provide such information and reasonable cooperation as Parent may reasonably request in connection therewith, including with respect to any communications with any stockholder of the Company regarding such stockholder’s intent to vote for, vote against or abstain with respect to the Stockholder Approvals or to make any public statement regarding such stockholder’s intent with respect thereto or more generally regarding the Transactions contemplated hereby, and providing a list of all stockholders of the Company entitled to vote at the Stockholder meeting, the then current tally of proxies that have been granted and not withdrawn by stockholders of the Company and any other information reasonably requested by Parent in connection with Parent determining whether or not to consent to an adjournment of the Stockholder Meeting. In addition, the Company will, and will direct its Representatives to, consult and coordinate with Parent and its Representatives (including any proxy solicitor retained by Parent) with respect to strategy regarding securing the Stockholder Approvals.

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days, after the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare a proxy statement in preliminary form in connection with the Stockholder Meeting (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto and any other required proxy materials, the “Proxy Statement”) and file it with the SEC, and the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other in connection with the preparation of the foregoing, including to cause their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to cooperate with the preparation of the foregoing. The Company and Parent (or its applicable Affiliates) shall cooperate to, concurrently with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement, jointly prepare and file with the SEC a Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13e-3 (such transaction statement, as amended or supplemented, the “Schedule 13e-3”) relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC

or its staff concerning the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13e-3. The Company shall notify the other parties hereto promptly upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff or any other government officials and of any request by the SEC or its staff or any other government officials for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13e-3 and shall supply the others with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, or its staff or any other government officials, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13e-3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate, and shall cause their Affiliates and advisors to cooperate, with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13e-3, including promptly furnishing to the Company in writing upon request any and all information relating to Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates as may be required, or otherwise reasonably requested by the Company, to be set forth in the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13e-3 under Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated above, prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13e-3 (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or making any written communications with the SEC or its staff with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such filings or written communications and shall consider Parent and its counsel’s comments in good faith.

(c) Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company further agrees that all information supplied by such party (or such party’s Affiliates) for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13e-3 in connection with the Merger (i) will not, on the date it is first mailed to stockholders of the Company and at the time of the Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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 are made, not misleading and (ii) will comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the NYSE. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub on the other hand, each assumes no responsibility with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of, respectively, Parent or Merger Sub or their Affiliates, or the Company or its Affiliates, for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13e-3. If at any time prior to the Stockholder Meeting any information relating to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates should be discovered by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13e-3, as the case may be, so that such filing would not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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, then the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other, and an appropriate amendment or supplement to such filing describing such information shall be promptly prepared and filed with the SEC by the appropriate party and, to the extent required by applicable law or the SEC or its staff, disseminated to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock.

Section 6.05 Access to Information. Subject to Applicable Law, Section 6.12, Section 6.18, and applicable contractual restrictions entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, and solely for purposes of furthering the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or transition or integration planning relating thereto, upon reasonable notice, the Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent’s officers and Parent’s other authorized Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its properties, books, Contracts, records and personnel. The foregoing shall not require the Company or its Subsidiaries (a) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any books, Contracts or records governed by a confidentiality, non-disclosure or other similar agreement in effect as of the date hereof, (b) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any information if and to the extent that the provision of such information would in the good faith judgment of the Company based on advice of counsel jeopardize any attorney-client, work product or other legal privilege or protection, (c) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any information if and to the extent that such access or availability would jeopardize the health and safety of any employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (d) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any information relating to the process conducted by the Special Committee that led to the execution of this Agreement, (e) to provide access to or otherwise make available or furnish any information if and to the extent that the provision of such information could in the judgment of the Company based on advice of counsel violate any Applicable Law or (f) subject to and without limiting Section 6.17(c), to prepare any financial statements, projections, reports, analyses, appraisals or opinions that are not readily available or prepared by the Company or its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; provided, in each case, that the Company shall give notice to Parent of the fact that it is withholding such information or documents and thereafter the Company and Parent shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in the effects set out in clauses (a) through (e), including by making appropriate substitute arrangements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in the ordinary course of business of Parent or Merger Sub (or their Affiliates) and unrelated to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives not to, contact any employee of the Company not involved in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any customer, technology or other partner, vendor or supplier of the Company in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Xxxxxx and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that any such contact shall be arranged and supervised by Representatives of the Company. The Company will consider in good faith and cooperate with Parent regarding any requests by the Parent to enter into discussions with any potential Rollover Stockholder. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.05 shall be directed to the Chief Legal Officer or other Person designated by the Company. All such information shall be deemed Evaluation Material (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) under and be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 6.06 Notice of Certain Events. Each of the Company and Parent will give prompt notice to the other (and will subsequently keep the other informed on a reasonably current basis of any material developments related to such notice) upon its becoming aware of the occurrence or existence of any fact, event or circumstance that (x) with respect to the Company, has had or would reasonably be expected have a Company Material Adverse Effect, (y) with respect to Parent or Merger Sub, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect and/or (z) is reasonably likely to result in any of the conditions set forth in Article 7 not being able to be satisfied prior to the End Date. No notification given by any party pursuant to this Section 6.06 shall limit or otherwise affect any of the

representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing shall not be deemed to constitute the failure of any condition set forth in Article 7 or the basis for any condition set forth in Article 7 not to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Article 7 to be satisfied.

Section 6.07 Employee Matters.

(a) For a period of not less than twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Parent shall provide each employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time for long as such person continues employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary of Parent or the Surviving Corporation following the Closing Date (each a “Continuing Employee”) with (i) (A) base salary or base hourly rate, as applicable and (B) target cash incentive compensation opportunities (including commissions, but excluding retention, long-term incentive compensation, change in control or transaction bonus opportunities and equity incentive compensation), in each case in an amount that is no less favorable than that was provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and (ii) employee benefits (including severance benefits that would have been provided to such Continuing Employee under the applicable severance benefit plans, programs, policies, agreements and arrangements set forth in Section 6.07(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, defined contribution retirement, health and welfare, vacation and sick or other paid leave and remote working options, but excluding defined benefit pension, nonqualified deferred compensation, equity incentive, long-term incentive, retention, change in control and post-retirement health and welfare benefits) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date.

(b) From and after the Closing Date, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the service of each Continuing Employee to be recognized for purposes of eligibility to participate, levels of benefits (but not for benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan) and vesting under each compensation, severance, retirement, vacation, paid time off, fringe or other welfare benefit plan, program or arrangement of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries, but not including any equity compensation plans, programs, agreements or arrangements (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, but solely to the extent service was credited to such employee for such purposes under a comparable Company Employee Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date and to the extent such credit would not result in a duplication of benefits. Parent shall assume any and all vacation and paid time off balances of Continuing Employees, and shall assume all costs and notice obligations incurred in connection with terminations of non-Continuing Employees.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, with respect to each Parent Benefit Plan that is an “employee welfare benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA in which any Continuing Employee is or becomes eligible to participate, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each such Parent Benefit Plan to (i) waive all limitations as to pre-existing and at-work conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable under such Parent Benefit Plan for such

Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents to the same extent that such pre-existing conditions, waiting periods, required physical examinations and exclusions would not have applied or would have been waived under the corresponding Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee was a participant immediately prior to his or her commencement of participation in such Parent Benefit Plan; provided, however, that for purposes of clarity, to the extent such benefit coverage includes eligibility conditions based on periods of employment, Section 6.07(b) shall control; and (ii) provide each Continuing Employee and their eligible dependents with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid in the calendar year that, and prior to the date that, such Continuing Employee commences participation in such Parent Benefit Plan in satisfying any applicable co-payment or deductible requirements under such Parent Benefit Plan for the applicable calendar year.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to amend the Company’s VP+ Change in Control and Severance Plan to provide that the Company’s VP+ Change in Control and Severance Plan will automatically terminate on the date that is twelve (12)-months after the Closing Date (and subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time) and shall promptly notify participants therein of such amendment. Prior to the adoption of any such amendment, the Company shall provide Parent with any drafts of, and a reasonable opportunity to review, such amendment.

(e) Nothing in this Section 6.07 shall be deemed to: (i) guarantee employment for any period of time or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Continuing Employee; (ii) amend any Parent Benefit Plan; (iii) require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to continue or amend any particular benefit plan before or after the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and any such plan may be amended or terminated in accordance with its terms and Applicable Law or (iv) create a third party rights in any current or former employee or other service provider of the Company or its affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

Section 6.08 State Takeover Laws. If any “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Applicable Law becomes or is deemed to be applicable to the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then Company Board shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Applicable Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

Section 6.09 Obligations of Merger Sub. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall execute and deliver to Merger Sub and the Company a written consent adopting this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 6.10 [Reserved].

Section 6.11 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain officers’ and directors’ liability insurance in respect of acts, errors or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s and the Company’s Subsidiaries’ officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.11(a), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof (the “Current Premium”) and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 300% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 300% of the Current Premium. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained by the Company (with the prior written consent of Parent) prior to the Effective Time, which policies provide such persons currently covered by such policies with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, errors or omissions that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company (with the prior written consent of Parent) may also purchase prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies for any other “claims-made” liability insurance coverage, including employment practices liability, professional liability and cyber and data security liability coverages; provided that such premiums for such insurance do not exceed 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date hereof with respect to each such coverage. If any such prepaid policies described in this Section 6.11(a) have been obtained by the Company (with the prior written consent of Parent) prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain any and all such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall: (i) indemnify (including advancement of expenses) and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company (each an “Indemnified Party”) for any and all costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel, which shall be advanced as they are incurred; provided that the Indemnified Party shall have made an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification), judgments, fines, penalties or liabilities (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) imposed upon or incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or other Proceeding (whether civil or criminal) in which such Indemnified Party may be involved or with which he or she may be threatened (regardless of whether as a named party or as a participant other than as a named party, including as a witness) (an “Indemnified Party Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that such Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of the Company or, while serving as a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, agent, trustee or fiduciary of any Subsidiary of the Company or another Person, in each case, at or before the Effective Time, whether or not the Indemnified Party

continues in such position at the time such Indemnified Party Proceeding is brought or threatened (including any Indemnified Party Proceeding relating in whole or in part to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party), to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law; and (ii) fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to: (x) each indemnification agreement in effect as of the date hereof between the Company and any Indemnified Party that is set forth in Section 6.11 of the Company Disclosure Schedule; and (y) any indemnification provision (including advancement of expenses) and any exculpation provision set forth in the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof. The Surviving Corporation’s obligations under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses in respect of any claim asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such claim.

(c) During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) cause the organizational documents of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable to those subject to those provisions as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions set forth in the organizational documents of the Company as of the date hereof.

(d) If 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 or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and 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 shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.11.

(e) The provisions of this Section 6.11 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her Representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under any certificate of incorporation or by-laws, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.11 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party unless (x) such termination or modification is required by Applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.11).

Section 6.12 Reasonable Best Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to consummate the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and in no event later than the End Date, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any), (ii) the delivery of required notices to, and the obtaining of required consents or waivers from, Third Parties (provided that the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment or commercial concession to any Third Party, or incur any liability, as a condition to (or in connection with) obtaining any such consent or waiver, unless such payment, concession or liability is requested by Parent and is conditioned and effective only upon the Closing), and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Merger and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement (including this Section 6.12) are subject to, and the parties hereto agree to, the terms and conditions set forth on Section 6.12(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, and Parent and Merger Sub shall not be in breach of this Agreement to the extent Parent or Merger Sub relies on or acts in accordance with the limitations set forth in Section 6.12(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of the Company and Parent (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) shall: (i) promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date hereof, file any and all notices, reports and other documents required to be filed by such party under the HSR Act with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if there are any changes in the applicable regulations under the HSR Act between the date hereof and the date of filing pursuant to the HSR Act, then the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to file or cause to be filed any and all required notification and report forms under the HSR Act as promptly as commercially practicable thereafter; (ii) except as otherwise set forth in Section 6.12(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, promptly, but in no event later than twenty (20) Business Days after the date hereof, make all filings necessary to timely obtain all consents, permits, authorizations, waivers, clearances and approvals, and shall cause the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods, as may be required under the Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws of the jurisdictions set forth on Section 7.01(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (to the extent required or advisable); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable provide such information as may reasonably be requested by the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) under the HSR Act or by any other Governmental Authority under applicable Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as well as any information required to be submitted to comply with a request for additional information in order to commence or end a statutory waiting period. Parent shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act and other applicable Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws, and the Company shall not be required to pay any fees or other payments to any Governmental Authority in connection with any filings under the HSR Act or such other filings as may be required under applicable Antitrust Laws, in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.12, each party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to: (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any substantive request, inquiry or Proceeding by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) keep the other parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry or Proceeding; (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any substantive communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Authority to the extent regarding the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or regarding any such request, inquiry or Proceeding, and provide a copy of all substantive written communications; and (iv) in the case of Parent, pull and re-file any notice under the HSR Act only after consulting in good faith with the other party. Subject to Applicable Law, in advance and to the extent practicable, each of Parent or the Company, as the case may be, will consult the other on all the material information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries that appear in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by Parent or the Company, as the case may be; provided, however, that either party may limit access to information solely to those individuals acting as outside antitrust counsel for the other parties (provided that such counsel shall not disclose such information to such other parties and shall enter into a joint defense agreement with the providing party). In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by any Applicable Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry or Proceeding in respect of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each party hereto will permit authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each substantive meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry or Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any substantive document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with such request, inquiry or Proceeding.

(d) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Xxxxxx agrees to take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under the Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Authority, so as to enable the parties hereto to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date), including (i) committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, transfer, assignment or other disposition of assets or businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates, (ii) terminating, relinquishing, modifying, transferring, assigning, restructuring, or waiving existing agreements, licenses, collaborations, relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of the Company or its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates and (iii) creating or consenting to create or enter into any agreements, licenses, collaborations, relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations, behavioral undertakings or other arrangements (and, in each case, to enter, or offer to enter, into agreements and stipulate to the entry of an Order or file appropriate applications with any Governmental Authority in connection with any of the foregoing and in the case of actions by or with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or its or their businesses or assets, by consenting to such action by the Company; provided, however, that any such action may, at the discretion of the Company, be conditioned upon consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (each action contemplated by clauses (i) through (iii) a “Specified Action”). Parent and the Company shall cooperate in any proposal, negotiation, or offer to commit and to effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, any and all Specified Actions or otherwise to

offer to take or offer to commit (and if such offer is accepted, commit to and effect) to take any Specified Action as may be required to resolve any Governmental Authority’s objections to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that Parent shall control strategy, communications, and timing with respect to parties’ efforts to obtain any necessary or advisable consents, approvals or non-objections, or expiration or termination of any waiting period under any Antitrust Laws. The Company shall not take or commit to take any Specified Action without Parent’s consent.

Section 6.17 Financing.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange, obtain and consummate the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitment Letters (or, if available, on other terms that are acceptable to Parent in its sole discretion, so long as such other terms do not include or result in a Prohibited Modification), and shall not permit any amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Commitment Letters if such amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver (A) reduces (or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Financing to an amount less than, when taken together with the available portion of the Financing and cash on hand at Parent, the Company and its Subsidiaries (assuming such cash on hand of the Company and its Subsidiaries is equal to the Minimum Cash Amount), the amount required to pay for the Financing Purposes (the “Required Amount”), (B) imposes new or additional conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing, or otherwise expands any of the conditions precedent to the funding of the Financing or (C) would reasonably be expected to (i) material delay (taking into account Section 2.01) or prevent the Closing or (ii) adversely impact the ability of Parent or Merger Sub or, in the case of the Equity Commitment Letters, the Company, to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitment Letters (the effects described in clauses (A) through (C), collectively, “Prohibited Modifications”); provided that Parent may add (pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter) as parties to the Debt Commitment Letter lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities who have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof.

The parties agree that Parent may assign the Equity Commitment Letters and/or the Guarantees, in whole or in part, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Section 6.17(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule (any such assignment, an “Equity Assignment,” and the date thereof, the “Equity Assignment Date”).

(b) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) maintain in full force and effect the Financing Commitment Letters, (B) satisfy on a timely basis (taking into account Section 2.01) all conditions to funding in the Financing Commitment Letters and to consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including using its reasonable best efforts to cause the Persons committing to fund the Financing to fund the Financing at the Closing, (C) enforce its rights under the Financing Commitment Letters and (D) comply with its obligations under the Financing Commitment Letters.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, provide such reasonable cooperation as is customary and reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the obtaining and arranging of the Debt Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such reasonable best efforts in any event shall include:

(i) participating in a reasonable number of meetings (including meetings with prospective Debt Financing Sources), presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions and sessions with rating agencies, at reasonable and mutually agreed times and with reasonable advance notice;

(ii) to the extent required by the Debt Commitment Letter, facilitating the pledging of, and perfection of security interests in, collateral, effective no earlier than the Effective Time;

(iii) furnishing Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable the Company Financial Information and, following the delivery of a request therefor to the Company by Parent (which notice shall state with specificity the information requested), such other financial and other information regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested by Parent or the Debt Financing Sources and as is customarily required in connection with financings of a type similar to the Debt Financing;

(iv) in each case following Parent’s reasonable request, assisting Parent and Merger Sub in the preparation of (A) confidential information memoranda (including a version that does not include material non-public information) and other customary marketing materials required in connection with financings similar to the Debt Financing and (B) materials for rating agency presentations;

(v) following Parent’s reasonable request, using commercially reasonable efforts to cause directors and officers who will continue to hold such offices and positions from and after the Effective Time to execute and provide resolutions or consents of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to entering into the Definitive Financing Agreements and otherwise as necessary to authorize consummation of the Debt Financing; provided that no such resolution or consent shall become effective until the Effective Time;

(vi) providing (A) customary authorization and representation letters to the Debt Financing Sources with respect to marketing materials from a senior officer of the Company (which authorization and representation letters will become effective before the Effective Time) to the extent required in the Debt Commitment Letter and (B) a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company in the form set forth on Annex I to Exhibit C of the Debt Commitment Letter (as in effect on the date hereof) with respect to solvency matters;

(viii) assisting reasonably in the preparation and execution of necessary and customary Definitive Financing Agreements (including one or more credit agreements, security agreements, mortgages and/or guarantees and the schedules and exhibits thereto) in connection with the Debt Financing or other certificates or documents as may reasonably be requested by Parent, in each case, to be held in escrow pending release by the Company at, and subject to the occurrence of, the Effective Time; and

(ix) to the extent required in the Debt Commitment Letter, using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts with respect to the Debt Financing benefit materially from the existing lending and investment banking relationships of the Company, it being understood and agreed that (x) such cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or any of its Affiliates and (y) the provisions set forth in this Section 6.17(c) represent the sole obligation of the Company and its Affiliates with respect to the Debt Financing and no other provision of this Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto) or the Debt Commitment Letter will be deemed to expand such obligations. All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or its Affiliates obtained by Parent or Merger Sub or their Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.17(c) shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, as modified by Section 6.19. The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or its Subsidiaries in any respect.

Nothing contained in this Section 6.17 or otherwise shall require the Company or its Affiliates to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing prior to the Effective Time.

(e) Notwithstanding this Section 6.17 or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to, and without limiting the effect of, Section 9.09, Parent and Merger Sub each acknowledges, affirms and agrees that it is not a condition to the Closing or to any of its other obligations under this Agreement that Parent or Merger Sub obtain any debt, equity or other financing for or related to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of any Financing).

(f) Each of Parent and Xxxxxx Sub acknowledges and agrees that the only obligations of the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives with respect to any portion of the Financing prior to the Effective Time are the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement.

absolute or contingent, accrued or unaccrued, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to become due and whether in contract, tort, strict liability or otherwise) suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of any Financing, any alternative financing, any action taken by them pursuant to this Section 6.17 and any information utilized in connection therewith, except, in each case, to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives (the obligations set forth in this subsection (f) collectively, the “Reimbursement Obligations”).

(f) by the Company, upon written notice to Parent, in the event of a breach by Parent or Merger Sub of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein that (i) would result in any condition set forth in Section 7.03 not being satisfied and (ii) has not been cured prior to the earlier of the End Date or the (30^th) day following the Company’s delivery of written notice describing such breach to Parent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(f) if the Company is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement that would result in any condition set forth in Section 7.02 not being satisfied;

(i) by the Company, upon written notice to Parent, if (A) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 are satisfied or have been validly waived (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied other than at the Closing, provided that such conditions would be satisfied as of the date of the notice referenced in clause (B) below if the Closing were to occur on the date of such notice), (B) on or after the date the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 2.01, the Company has delivered an irrevocable written notice to Parent to the effect that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.03 have been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the Company (other than those conditions that by their nature cannot be satisfied other than at the Closing, provided that such conditions would be satisfied or, to the extent permitted by Law, waived by the Company as of the date of such notice if the Closing were to occur on the date of such notice) and the Company is prepared to consummate the Closing and (C) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Closing on the earlier of (x) the third (3rd) Business Day after delivery of the notice referenced in the preceding clause (B) and (y) one (1) Business Day prior to the End Date.

Section 8.02 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or any Representative or Non-Recourse Party of such party) to each other party hereto; provided, however, that the provisions of (i) this Section 8.02, (ii) the last sentence of Section 6.04(b), (iii) the last sentence of Section 6.05, (iv) the last sentence of Section 6.12(b), (v) Section 6.19 and (vi) Article 9 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 8.01.

Section 9.02 Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time, except that this Section 9.02 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time, which shall survive to the extent expressly provided for herein.

Section 9.03 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that without the further approval of the Company’s stockholders, no such amendment or waiver shall be made or given after the Stockholder Approval that requires the approval of the stockholders of the Company under the DGCL unless the required further approval is obtained.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 9.04 Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(b) In the event that:

(i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(g);

(ii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(h); or

(iii) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(b), Section 8.01(d) or Section 8.01(e) and (A) after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal is publicly disclosed or is delivered to the Company Board (or a committee thereof) or senior management of the Company and (B) within twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, the Company consummates any Acquisition Proposal or enters into a definitive agreement in respect of any Acquisition Proposal (provided that for purposes of this subsection (iii), each reference to “20% or more” or “80% or less” in the definition of Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be references to “more than 50%” or “less than 50%”, respectively);

then the Company shall pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds (x) in the case of Section 9.04(b)(i), within three (3) Business Days after such termination, (y) in the case of Section 9.04(b)(ii), substantially concurrently with the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(h) (or no later than the next Business Day if such termination occurs on a day that is not a Business Day) and (z) in the case of Section 9.04(b)(iii), substantially concurrently with the earlier of the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal or the entry into a definitive agreement in respect of such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01(d), the Company shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the date of such termination), pay Parent 50% of the reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates on or after the date of the execution of this Agreement in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, payable by wire transfer of same-day funds to one or more accounts designated by Parent; provided that the Company’s obligations under this Section 9.04(c) shall in no event exceed $5,000,000; provided, further, that, in the event the Company Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 9.04(b)(iii), any amounts paid by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) shall be credited against and reduce such Company Termination Fee.

(d) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(i), Parent shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) pay to the Company a termination fee of $101,100,000(the “Parent Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds to one or more accounts designated by the Company.

(e) In the event (i) this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(b) or Section 8.01(c), (ii) the limitations on Parent’s obligations set forth in Section 6.12(a) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule are the proximate cause of, or have proximately resulted in, (a) the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.01(b) or Section 7.01(c) to be satisfied (in either case, a “Specified Regulatory Failed Condition”) prior to the End Date (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(b)) or (b) the taking of the action by a Governmental Authority permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(c)) and (iii) (A) if there was no Equity Assignment prior to such termination, at the time of such termination, the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 (other than (x) the relevant failed Specified Regulatory Failed Condition in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(b) or (y) the condition set forth in Section 7.01(b) in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(c)) and, in the case of both (x) and (y), Section 7.02 shall have been satisfied or validly waived (except for those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing provided that such conditions would be satisfied as of the date of termination if the Closing were to occur on the date of such termination) and (B) if there was an Equity Assignment prior to such termination, (1) the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) through Section 7.02(e) (the “Test Date Conditions”) shall have all been satisfied as of the later of (x) the Equity Assignment Date and (y) the first date as of which, but for the relevant Specified Regulatory Failed Condition failing to be satisfied, the Closing would have been required to occur (such later date, the “Test Date”) (except, in each case, for those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing provided that such conditions would be satisfied as of the Test Date if the Closing were to occur on the Test Date), (2) any failure of the Test Date Conditions to be satisfied on the date of such termination was not proximately caused by a breach of the Company’s obligations under Section 6.12 or any Willful and Material Breach of any of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement and (3) at the time of such termination, the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 (other than (x) the relevant failed Specified Regulatory Failed Condition in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(b) or (y) the condition set forth in Section 7.01(b) in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.01(c)) and Section 7.02 (other than the Test Date Conditions) shall have been satisfied or validly waived (except for those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing provided that such conditions would be satisfied as of the date of termination if the Closing were to occur on the date of such termination), Parent shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) pay to the Company a termination fee of $25,300,000 (the “Regulatory Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds to one or more accounts designated by the Company. In addition, in the event (i) an Equity Assignment has occurred and the Test Date (if later than the Equity Assignment Date) has passed, (ii) the Test Date Conditions shall have all been satisfied as of the Test Date (except, in each case, for those conditions which by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing provided that such conditions would be satisfied as of the Test Date if the Closing were to occur on the Test Date), and (iii) this Agreement is thereafter terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(e) for a breach by the Company other than a breach of the Company’s obligations under Section 6.12 or any Willful and Material Breach of any of the Company’s other obligations under this Agreement, Parent shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) pay to the Company the Regulatory Termination Fee. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of a termination of this Agreement under circumstances in which the Regulatory Termination Fee would become payable, but at the time of such termination the Company would have otherwise been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(i), then the Parent Termination Fee shall be payable in accordance with the terms of Section 9.04(d) in lieu of the Regulatory Termination Fee. No payment by Parent of the Regulatory Termination Fee will limit Parent’s right to liabilities or damages arising out of the Company’s Willful and Material Breach in accordance with Section 8.02.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by the Company of the Company Termination Fee or made by Parent of either the Parent Termination Fee or the Regulatory Termination Fee shall be payable only once, whether or not the Company Termination Fee or either the Parent Termination Fee or the Regulatory Termination Fee, as applicable, may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events. In no event shall Parent be obligated to pay both the Parent Termination Fee and the Regulatory Termination Fee.

(g) In the event that Parent shall receive full payment of the Company Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.04(g), the Company shall have no further liability, whether pursuant to a claim at law or in equity, to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of Parent, Merger Sub or any Parent Related Party shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Proceeding against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (other than equitable relief to require payment of the Company Termination Fee), any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters forming the basis for such termination; provided that if the Company fails to pay the Company Termination Fee and Parent and/or Merger Sub commences a suit which results in a final, non-appealable judgment against the Company for the Company Termination Fee or any portion thereof, then the Company shall pay Parent interest on the Company Termination Fee at the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.04(g) will not relieve the Company from any liability for any fraud.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that, in the event that either the Parent Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.04(d) or the Regulatory Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.04(e) and except for specific performance to the extent permitted by and subject to the limitations in Section 9.09 and the third sentence of this Section 9.04(h), then the Company’s receipt of the Parent Termination Fee or the Regulatory Termination Fee, as applicable, together with any Reimbursement Obligations and any Enforcement Costs (subject to the Expense Cap), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, its Subsidiaries, their respective Affiliates or any of their respective former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, equityholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Representatives or Affiliates of any of the foregoing, or any former, current or future estates, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) against (A) Parent or Merger Sub or (B) the Equity Investor and Parent’s, Xxxxxx Sub’s and the Equity Investor’s respective Affiliates or Non-Recourse Parties or any of their or their respective Affiliates’ or Non-Recourse Parties’ respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, general or limited partners,

mangers, members, direct or indirect equityholders, controlling persons, attorneys, assignees, agents or Representatives of any of the foregoing, or any former, current or future estates, heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) or (C) the Debt Financing Related Parties, for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Guarantees, the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including breach of this Agreement (whether such breach is knowing, deliberate, willful, intentional, a Willful and Material Breach or otherwise)), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Closing or any claims or actions under applicable Law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure, and none of the Company Related Parties shall seek to recover any other damages or seek any other remedy, whether based on a claim at law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to any such losses or damages (including in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to be made in connection herewith). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Parent or Merger Sub breaches this Agreement (whether such breach is knowing, deliberate, willful, intentional, a Willful and Material Breach or otherwise) or fails to perform hereunder (whether such failure is knowing, deliberate, willful, intentional, a Willful and Material Breach or otherwise), then, except for specific performance to the extent permitted by and subject to the limitations in Section 9.09, the sole and exclusive remedies (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against Parent, Merger Sub or any related Parent Related Party or the Debt Financing Related Parties for any breach, loss or failure to perform, which recourse shall be solely against Parent or Merger Sub to the extent provided herein and subject to the limitations set forth herein and/or the Guarantors under the Guarantees (to the extent provided therein and subject to the limitations set forth therein), will be (A) if applicable, for the Company to terminate this Agreement under the circumstances in which the Parent Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.04(d) and for the Company to receive the Parent Termination Fee from Parent, together with any Reimbursement Obligations and any Enforcement Costs (subject to the Expense Cap), from Parent (or the Guarantors under the Guarantees, to the extent provided therein and subject to the limitations set forth therein) or (B) for the Company to terminate this Agreement and seek to recover monetary damages (not to exceed the amount of the Parent Termination Fee) from Parent or Merger Sub for Willful and Material Breach (or the Guarantors under the Guarantees, to the extent provided therein and subject to the limitations set forth therein); provided that in no event will the Company or any Company Related Party seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other Person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any Person be entitled to seek or obtain, any recovery or award, any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages (other than the payment by Parent (or the Guarantors under and in accordance with the Guarantees to the extent provided therein and subject to the limitations therein) of the Parent Termination Fee to the extent payable by Parent pursuant to Section 9.04(d)), together with any Reimbursement Obligations and any Enforcement Costs (subject to the Expense Cap), against the Parent Related Parties. While the Company shall be entitled to pursue both a grant of specific performance pursuant to Section 9.09 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee, the Regulatory Termination Fee, any Reimbursement Obligations and/or any Enforcement Costs (subject to the Expense Cap), in no event shall the Company be entitled to both (i) obtain an order for specific performance pursuant to Section 9.09 to enforce Parent’s and Xxxxxx Sub’s obligations to consummate the Closing and cause the Equity Financing to be funded on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and (ii) receive

the Parent Termination Fee if payable pursuant to Section 9.04(d) or the Regulatory Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.04(e), together with any Reimbursement Obligations and any Enforcement Costs (subject to the Expense Cap) (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any monetary damages). If Parent fails to timely pay the Parent Termination Fee or the Regulatory Termination Fee when due and the Company commences a suit which results in a final, non-appealable judgment against Parent for the payment to the Company of the Parent Termination Fee or the Regulatory Termination Fee, as applicable, or any portion thereof, then Parent shall pay the Company (A) the Company’s reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees of outside counsel) in connection with such suit, together with (B) interest on the Parent Termination Fee or the Regulatory Termination Fee, as applicable, at the “prime rate” as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding) (any such amounts of costs, expenses and interest, the “Enforcement Costs”). Any Reimbursement Obligations and Enforcement Expenses shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Expense Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Section 9.04(h) will limit the obligations of Parent (or its applicable Affiliate party to the Confidentiality Agreement) with respect to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the maximum aggregate liability (including in the case of fraud or Willful and Material Breach) of Parent and Merger Sub hereunder (and of the Guarantors under the Guarantees) exceed the sum of the Parent Termination Fee and the Expense Cap.

(i) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 9.04 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that the payment of the Company Termination Fee, the Parent Termination Fee or the Regulatory Termination Fee specified in this Section 9.04, as applicable, is not a penalty, but, in each case, is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate such other parties, as applicable, in the circumstances in which such fees are payable for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

Section 9.05 Assignment; Benefit. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties; provided, that Parent and Merger Sub may (a) assign all or any portion of their rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement from and after the Effective Time to any wholly-owned Subsidiaries or Affiliates and (b) pledge this Agreement to any lender of Parent or Merger Sub as security for the obligation of such lender in respect of providing the Financing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except for (a) the rights of the Indemnified Parties as set forth in Section 6.11 and Section 6.13, (b) the rights of the Parent Related Parties and Company Related Parties pursuant to Section 8.02, (c) the rights of the Non-Recourse Parties pursuant to Section 9.16 and (d) the rights of the Debt Financing Related Parties pursuant to Section 9.17.

Section 9.06 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the applicable statute of limitations, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules that would cause the application of law of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of Delaware.

Section 9.07 Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any Proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, the state or federal courts in the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Courts”). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Courts in respect of any legal or equitable Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or relating to enforcement of any of the terms of this Agreement, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert, as a defense in any such Proceeding, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that the Proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each party hereto agrees that notice or the service of process in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be properly served or delivered if delivered in the manner contemplated by Section 9.01 or in any other manner permitted by law.

Section 9.08 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 9.08.

Section 9.09 Specific Performance.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth herein, the parties hereto agree that irreparable harm would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such harm. The parties hereto agree that unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.01 and any dispute over the right to termination has been finally resolved, (i) the parties hereto shall be

entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 9.07 to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without bond or other security being required, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 9.04, at law or in equity, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and without that right, none of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub would have entered into this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties hereto further agree that unless and until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.01, the Company shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy to specifically enforce Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Closing on the terms and conditions set forth herein and cause the Equity Financing to be funded under each of the Equity Commitment Letters (including to cause Parent to enforce the obligations of the Equity Investors under the respective Equity Commitment Letter in order to cause the Equity Financing to be timely completed in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the respective Equity Commitment Letter) if, and only if, (1) all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 and Section 7.02 of this Agreement have been and continue to be satisfied or waived (other than those that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing; provided, that those conditions could be satisfied if the Closing were to occur), (2) the Company has irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Parent that (x) all conditions set forth in Section 7.03 have been satisfied (other than those that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing) or that they would be willing to waive any unsatisfied conditions in Section 7.03 and (y) they are ready, willing, and able to consummate the Closing if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing is funded, (3) the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing (in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof) and (4) the Merger has not been consummated in accordance with Section 2.01, and under no other circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Debt Financing has not been funded and will not be funded at the Closing for any reason (including a breach of Section 6.17), the Company shall not be entitled to enforce Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Merger and the Equity Investor’s obligation to provide the Equity Financing pursuant to this Section 9.09. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that any other of such parties has an adequate remedy at law or that any such injunction or award of specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason.

(b) Subject to Section 9.04(h), the parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.09, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement (including monetary damages) for breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.09 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 9.09 shall require any party hereto to institute any Proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.09 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article 8 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.09 or anything set forth in this Section 9.09 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article 8 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available at any time.

(c) In no event shall the Company seek or permit to be sought on behalf of the Company any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, from any officer, director, agent or employee of Parent or Merger Sub any Parent Related Party, in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than as expressly provided by Section 8.02 (subject to Section 9.04(h)) and this Section 9.09, and as expressly provided by and subject to the terms of the Equity Commitment Letters and the Guarantees).

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 9.09 nor Section 9.04 shall limit in any way the remedies of the parties under the Confidentiality Agreement, as modified hereunder.

Section 9.10 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party; provided, that the parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon (including limitations on remedies in Section 9.04(h), Section 9.09, Section 9.16 and the other limitations on the liabilities of the Parent Related Parties) be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable or subject to modification pursuant to the following sentence in any manner that increases any Parent Related Party’s liability or obligations in this Agreement or in connection with the Financing. Upon such a determination, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.11 Parent Guarantee. Parent shall cause Merger Sub to comply in all respects with each of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and undertakings made or required to be performed by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Merger, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As a material inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder, Parent hereby unconditionally guarantees full performance and payment by Merger Sub of each of the covenants, obligations and undertakings required to be performed by Merger Sub under this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to all terms, conditions and limitations contained in this Agreement, and hereby represents, acknowledges and agrees that any such breach of any such representation and warranty or default in the performance of any such covenant, obligation, agreement or undertaking of Merger Sub shall also be deemed to be a breach or default of Parent, and the Company shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to pursue any and all available remedies it may have arising out of any such breach or nonperformance directly against either or both of Parent and Merger Sub in the first instance.

Section 9.12 Entire Agreement; No Reliance; Access to Information.

(a) This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement, the exhibits and schedules to this Agreement, including the Company Disclosure Schedule, the CEO Support and Rollover Agreements and any other Rollover Agreements, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Guarantees and the letter agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, Parent, Merger Sub and Xxx Investment Pte. Ltd., constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect thereto.

(b) Xxxxxx and Merger Sub agree that, except for the representations and warranties contained in Article 4 of this Agreement, the Company makes no other representations or warranties and hereby disclaims any other representations or warranties made by itself or any of its Representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to any other party or any other party’s Representatives of any document or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding any otherwise express representations and warranties made by the parties in this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub agrees that none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make or has made any representation or warranty with respect to (i) any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets or future revenues, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the future business, operations or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to it, or (ii) any other information, statements or documents heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to it, including the information in the electronic data room of the Company, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the business, operations or affairs of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent and as expressly covered by a representation and warranty made in Article 4 of this Agreement.

(c) Xxxxxx and Merger Sub each acknowledges and agrees that it (a) has had an opportunity to discuss the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries with the management of the Company, (b) has had reasonable access to (i) the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) the documents provided by the Company for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (c) has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and received answers from officers of the Company and (d) has conducted its own independent investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, and has not relied on any representation, warranty or other statement by any Person on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, other than the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article 4 of this Agreement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to develop estimates, projections, forecasts, business plans and other forward-looking information with which Parent and Merger Sub are familiar, that Parent and Merger Sub are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, business plans and other forward-looking information furnished to them (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, business plans and other forward-looking information), and, for the avoidance of doubt, that Xxxxxx and Merger Sub will have no claim against the Company or any of its stockholders, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, advisors, agents or other Representatives with respect thereto.

(d) The Company agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in Article 5 of this Agreement, neither Parent nor Merger Sub makes any other representations or warranties, and the Company expressly disclaims any other representations or warranties made by Parent, Merger Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or the Representatives of any of the foregoing or any other Person, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the Company or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives or any other Person of any document or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

Section 9.13 Rules of Construction. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel of its choice throughout all negotiations that have preceded the execution of this Agreement and that it has executed the same with the advice of said independent counsel. Each party and its counsel cooperated and participated in the drafting and preparation of this Agreement and the documents referred to herein, and any and all drafts relating thereto exchanged among the parties shall be deemed the work product of all of the parties and may not be construed against any party by reason of its drafting or preparation. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against any party that drafted or prepared it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived by each of the parties hereto, and any controversy over interpretations of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of drafting or preparation.

Section 9.14 Company Disclosure Schedule. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated by reference in each other Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule if the relevance of such reference as a disclosure or exception to such other Section is reasonably apparent on its face. Certain items and matters may be listed in the Company Disclosure Schedule 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 the Company Disclosure Schedule be deemed or interpreted to broaden, or otherwise expand the scope of, the representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty (a) shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material event, circumstance, change, effect, development or condition or that such item would have a Company Material Adverse Effect and (b) shall not be construed as an admission or indication by the Company of any non-compliance with, or breach or violation of, any third party rights (including any Intellectual Property), any Contract or agreement or any Applicable Law or Order of any Governmental Authority, such disclosures having been made solely for the purposes of creating exceptions to the representations made herein or of disclosing any information required to be disclosed under this Agreement.

Section 9.15 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in PDF form, or by any other electronic means designed to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will be deemed to have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures.

Section 9.16 Non-Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim, action, suit or other legal proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party, except for claims that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may assert in accordance with the Guarantees, the Equity Commitment Letters or the Confidentiality Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Guarantees, the Equity Commitment Letters or the Confidentiality Agreement, no former, current or future officers, employees, directors, partners, direct or indirect equity holders, managers, members, attorneys, agents, advisors or other Representatives of any party hereto (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim or proceeding (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein or in connection with any transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be sought or had against any Non-Recourse Party, except for claims that any party may assert (A) against another party solely in accordance with, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement or (B) pursuant to the express terms of the Guarantees, the Equity Commitment Letters or the Confidentiality Agreement.

Section 9.17 Debt Financing Related Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates, hereby: (i) agrees that any Proceeding, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, by or against any Debt Financing Related Party, arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the agreements entered into in connection with the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, so long as such forum is and remains available, and any appellate court thereof and each party hereto irrevocably submits itself and its property with respect to any such Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, and such Proceeding (except to the extent relating to the interpretation of any provisions in this Agreement) shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction),

(ii) agrees not to bring or support any Proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Related Party in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder in any forum other than any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, (iii) agrees that service of process upon the Company in any such Proceeding shall be effective if notice is given in accordance with Section 9.01, (iv) irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding in any such court, (v) knowingly, intentionally and voluntarily waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law trial by jury in any Proceeding brought against the Debt Financing Related Parties in any way arising out of or relating to, this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, (vi) agrees that none of the Debt Financing Related Parties will have any liability to the Company, its Subsidiaries and controlled Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the performance of any services thereunder, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise,(vii) agrees that the Debt Financing Related Parties are express third party beneficiaries of, and may enforce, Section 9.04(h), Section 9.05 and this Section 9.17, and (viii) Section 9.04(h), Section 9.05 and this Section 9.17 and the definitions of “Company Material Adverse Effect”, “Debt Financing”, “Debt Financing Sources” and “Debt Financing Related Parties” shall not be amended, modified or waived (including any definitions in this Agreement to the extent such amendment or waiver would modify any such foregoing Sections or provisions (including for the avoidance of doubt the definition of “Company Material Adverse Effect”)) in any way materially adverse to the Debt Financing Related Parties without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources party to the Debt Commitment Letter; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall affect the rights of the Parent Related Parties against the Debt Financing Related Parties with respect to the Debt Financing or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any services thereunder to the extent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter.
