5. Directors and Officers. It is understood that each Stockholder enters into this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing or limiting a Stockholder or affiliate of a Stockholder, who is a director or officer of the Company, from taking (or omitting to take) any action in such capacity or fulfilling the obligations of such office, including by performing the obligations required by the fiduciary obligations of such Person, in each case, in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall modify any rights or obligations under the Merger Agreement.
6. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each Stockholder hereby covenants, represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, and solely as to itself and its Common Shares, as follows:
(a) Ownership. Such Stockholder: (i) is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of, and is the record owner of the Common Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule A hereto, free and clear of any and all liens, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, options, rights, understandings or arrangements or any other encumbrances whatsoever on title, transfer, or exercise of any rights of a stockholder in respect of such Common Shares (collectively, “Encumbrances”) except for restrictions on Transfer under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or Encumbrances arising hereunder; (ii) does not own as of the date hereof, of record or beneficially, any shares of capital stock of the Company (or rights to acquire any such shares) other than the Common Shares set forth on Schedule A hereto; and (iii) has the sole right to vote, dispose of and exercise and holds sole power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, sole power to demand appraisal rights and sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Common Shares, with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights, subject to applicable federal securities laws and the terms of this Agreement.

In the case of a Stockholder that is not a natural person, the execution, delivery and performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by such Stockholder, and no other actions on the part of such Stockholder are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by such Stockholder of this Agreement and the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby. Assuming that this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company, this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar applicable laws affecting or relating to creditors’ rights generally and is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

(c) No Conflicts. None of the execution and delivery by such Stockholder of this Agreement, the performance by such Stockholder of its obligations hereunder or the consummation by each Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby will: (i) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or conflict with (A) in the case of a Stockholder that is not a natural person, any provisions of the organizational documents of such Stockholder or (B) any agreement to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder’s Common Shares are bound, or (ii) violate, or require any consent, approval, or notice under, any provision of any judgment, order or decree that is applicable to such Stockholder or any of such Stockholder’s Common Shares (other than filings required pursuant to the Exchange Act), except, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 6(c), as would not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to impair the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder on a timely basis.
(d) Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no action, arbitration, claim, proceeding, suit or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, threatened against such Stockholder before or by any governmental authority, except as would not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to impair the ability of such Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.

(b) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a default under, or conflict with (A) any provisions of the organizational documents of the Company or (B) any contract to which the Company is a party or by which the Company’s assets may be bound, or (ii) violate, or require any consent, approval, or notice under, any provision of any judgment, order or decree that is applicable to the Company (other than filings required pursuant to the Exchange Act), except, in the case of clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 7(b), as would not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder on a timely basis.
8. Certain Restrictions. Each Stockholder agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, (a) not to take, or agree or commit to take, any action that would reasonably be expected to make any representation or warranty of such Stockholder contained in this Agreement inaccurate in any respect as of any time during the term of this Agreement and (b) to take all reasonable action necessary to prevent any such representation or warranty from being inaccurate in any respect at any such time.
9. Disclosure. Each Stockholder shall permit the Company to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other applicable authority, and any press release or other disclosure document that the Company reasonably determines to be necessary or desirable in connection with the Merger and any transactions related to the Merger, such Stockholder’s identity and ownership of Common Shares and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement.
