(b) Impact of the Sirius-Polaris Merger on New Polaris Equity Awards. At the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time, each New Polaris Equity Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time shall be treated in connection with the consummation of the Sirius-Polaris Merger in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Polaris Stock Plan and/or award agreements, including any applicable accelerated vesting and forfeiture provisions. To the extent any such New Polaris Equity Award vests in connection with the consummation of the Sirius-Polaris Merger in accordance with its terms, the holder thereof shall be entitled to that number of shares of New Polaris Class A Common Stock or New Polaris Performance Common Stock, as applicable, represented by such vested New Polaris Equity Award immediately prior to the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time (less a number of shares of New Polaris Class A Common Stock or New Polaris Performance Common Stock, as applicable, required to be withheld pursuant to applicable federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law); provided that, with respect to any New Polaris Equity Award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that is not permitted to be settled at the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time without triggering a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such New Polaris Equity Award shall be settled at the earliest time permitted under the applicable award agreement and the Polaris Stock Plan that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

Each New Polaris Equity Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time that does not vest (and is not forfeited) in connection with the consummation of the Sirius-Polaris Merger by its terms (an “Unvested New Polaris Equity Award”) shall remain outstanding following the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time and shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to such New Polaris Equity Award, as applicable, immediately prior to the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time.

For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any New Sirius Equity Award that is subject to performance-based vesting conditions and is eligible to vest in connection with the consummation of the Sirius-Polaris Merger in accordance with its terms, any portion of such New Sirius Equity Award that does not vest after giving effect to any vesting that occurs in connection with the consummation of the Sirius-Polaris Merger in accordance with the applicable terms of such New Sirius Equity Award, shall immediately and automatically be forfeited for no consideration. Each New Sirius Equity Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time that does not vest (and is not forfeited) in connection with the consummation of the Sirius-Polaris Merger by its terms (an “Unvested New Sirius Equity Award”) shall be assumed by New Polaris and shall be converted into an award in the same form for that number of shares of New Polaris Class A Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of New Sirius Shares subject to such Unvested New Sirius Equity Award multiplied by (ii) the Sirius Exchange Ratio (each such converted Unvested New Sirius Equity Award, a “Converted Sirius Equity Award”).

(c) Available Shares. If the aggregate number of Sirius Shares to be issued upon conversion of Sirius LTIP Units and Sirius Common Units in accordance with Section 2.06(a) and of New Sirius Shares issuable in connection with Section 2.17(b) (collectively, the “Aggregate Sirius Awards”) would be greater than the number of Sirius Shares or New Sirius Shares available for issuance under the Sirius Stock Plans (the “Available New Sirius Shares”) and in the event the parties determine that the Aggregate Sirius Awards cannot be settled in shares of New Polaris Class A Common Stock in accordance with applicable Law (including NYSE Listing Standard 303A.08), then the number of Aggregate Sirius Awards that will be settled in Sirius Shares or New

- 36 -

Sirius Shares shall automatically be deemed reduced pro rata (but not below zero) by the least amount required so that number of Sirius Shares or New Sirius Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or Section 2.17(b) is no longer greater than the number of Available New Sirius Shares. Each Aggregate Sirius Award (or portion thereof) that is no longer settled in Sirius Shares or New Sirius Shares pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) (a “Cash-Settled New Sirius Equity Award”) shall instead entitle the holder thereof to receive (without interest), an amount in cash with respect to each Sirius Share or New Sirius Share represented by such Cash-Settled New Sirius Equity Award immediately prior to the Sirius LP Merger Effective Time or the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time, as applicable, determined pursuant to the cash settlement formula applicable to such Cash-Settled New Sirius Equity Award in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Sirius Stock Plan and/or award agreement. Any payment to which a holder of a Cash-Settled New Sirius Equity Award is entitled to pursuant to this Section 2.17(c) shall be made through the Sirius-Polaris Merger Surviving Corporation’s payroll as soon as reasonably practicable after the Sirius-Polaris Merger Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.06(a) or Section 2.17(b) and the applicable Sirius Stock Plan and/or award agreement.

At the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time, each Constellation LTIP Unit that is outstanding immediately prior to the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time shall be treated in connection with the consummation of the Constellation-Polaris Merger in accordance with its terms and the Constellation LLC limited liability company agreement, including any accelerated vesting provisions.

EXCHANGE OF SHARES

3.01 New Polaris to Make Merger Consideration Available. Promptly after the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time, New Polaris shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a bank or trust company designated by New Polaris and reasonably acceptable to the Other Parties (the “Exchange Agent”), for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, (a) New Certificates to be issued pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.10, 2.11, 2.13, 2.14, 2.16, and 2.18 and exchanged pursuant to Section 3.03(a) for Old Certificates, and (b) cash in an amount sufficient to pay cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such cash and New Certificates described in the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto (the “Exchange Fund”)). The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by New Polaris, provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration or the Preferred Merger Consideration, as applicable, payable to the holders of Old Certificates. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to New Polaris.

3.02 Payment of Dividends. Prior to the Redomestication Merger Effective Time, Polaris may, and each of Sirius and Constellation shall, deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for further payment to holders prior to such time of Polaris Shares, Sirius Shares or Constellation Shares, as applicable, an amount in cash equal to any dividend or distribution theretofore declared in respect of the Polaris Shares, the Sirius Shares or the Constellation Shares in accordance with Section 5.01(d), including any REIT Minimum Distribution Dividend, that shall not then have been paid to holders of Polaris Shares, Sirius Shares or Constellation Shares, as applicable.

3.03 Exchange of Shares.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time, New Polaris shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise provide to each holder of record of one or more Old Certificates a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Old Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Old Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Old Certificates in exchange for the applicable New Certificates, and, solely in the case of Sirius Shares or Constellation Shares, any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the Polaris Shares, Sirius Shares or Constellation Shares, as applicable, represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement as well as any dividends or other distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 3.03(b). From and after the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time, upon proper surrender of an Old Certificate or Old Certificates for exchange and cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such properly completed letter of transmittal, duly executed (or upon proper delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to book-entry shares) the holder of such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, as applicable, (i) a New Certificate representing that number of whole New Polaris Common Shares or the applicable series of New Polaris Preferred Stock, as applicable, to which such holder shall be entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article II, (ii) a check representing the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article III and (iii) any dividends or other distributions which the holder thereof has the right to receive pursuant to this Section 3.03, and the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash portion of the Merger Consideration or the Preferred Merger Consideration, as applicable, or any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable to holders of Old Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03, each Old Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Applicable Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon surrender, the Merger Consideration or the Preferred Merger Consideration, as applicable, and any cash in lieu of fractional shares or in respect of dividends or distributions as contemplated by this Section 3.03.

- 41 -

(b) No dividends or other distributions authorized and declared with respect to New Polaris Common Shares or the applicable series of New Polaris Preferred Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until the holder thereof shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Article III. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Article III, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which following the Applicable Effective Time had become payable with respect to (i) the whole New Polaris Common Shares which the Polaris Shares, Sirius Shares or Constellation Shares, as applicable, represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive or (ii) the shares of the applicable series of New Polaris Preferred Stock which the shares of the applicable series of Sirius Preferred Stock or Constellation Preferred Stock, as applicable, represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive. The surrender of an Old Certificate shall not impact a holder’s right, to the extent applicable, to receive any declared but unpaid dividends on the Polaris Shares, Sirius Shares or Constellation Shares, as applicable, represented by such Old Certificate.

(c) If any New Certificate representing New Polaris Common Shares or shares of the applicable series of New Polaris Preferred Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate representing New Polaris Common Shares or shares of the applicable series of New Polaris Preferred Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(d) After the Applicable Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Polaris, Sirius, Constellation or New Sirius of the Polaris Shares, Sirius Shares, Constellation Shares, New Sirius Shares, shares of Sirius Preferred Stock and shares of Constellation Preferred Stock, as applicable, that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Applicable Effective Time. If, after the Applicable Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Redomestication Merger Consideration, the Merger Consideration or the Preferred Merger Consideration, as applicable, cash in lieu of fractional New Polaris Common Shares (if applicable) and dividends or other distributions that the holder presenting such Old Certificates is entitled to, as provided in this Article III.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no New Certificates or scrip representing fractional New Polaris Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or other distribution with respect to New Polaris Common Shares shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of New Polaris. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, New Polaris shall pay to each former stockholder of Sirius or Constellation, as applicable, who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional New Polaris Common Share at the Applicable Effective Time an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the volume weighted average price of Polaris Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) for the five (5) full trading days ending on the day preceding the Closing Date by (ii) the fraction (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of a New Polaris Common Share which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.05, Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, as applicable.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of Sirius or Constellation one (1) year after the Applicable Effective Time shall be paid to New Polaris. Any former stockholders of Polaris, Sirius or Constellation who have not theretofore exchanged their Old Certificates pursuant to this Article III shall thereafter look only to New Polaris for payment of the Redomestication Merger Consideration, the Merger Consideration or the Preferred Merger Consideration, as applicable, cash in lieu of any

- 42 -

fractional New Polaris Common Shares (if applicable) and any unpaid dividends and other distributions on the New Polaris Common Shares deliverable such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Polaris, Sirius, Constellation, New Polaris, New Sirius, Sirius LP, Sirius Sub. New Sirius Sub, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former stockholder of Polaris, Sirius or Constellation, as applicable, for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(g) Each of the parties and each of their Subsidiaries shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to this Section 3.03 or any consideration or amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made.

(h) In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by New Polaris, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as New Polaris may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the Redomestication Merger Consideration, the Merger Consideration or the Preferred Merger Consideration, as applicable, and any cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

Each of the statements of financial position contained in or incorporated by reference into any such Polaris SEC Document (including the related notes and schedules, the “Polaris Financial Statements”) (1) complied or will comply, as the case may be, as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto; (2) have been or will be, as the case may be, prepared from, are in accordance with, and accurately reflect the books and records of Polaris and the Polaris Subsidiaries in all material respects; (3) have been or will be, as the case may be, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of interim financial statements, for normal and recurring year-end adjustments and as may be permitted by the SEC on Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or any successor or like form under the Exchange Act) in all material respects and (4) fairly presented in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Polaris and the Polaris Subsidiaries as of the date of such statement, and each of the statements of income and changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows or equivalent statements in such Polaris SEC Documents (including any related notes and schedules thereto) fairly presented in all material respects, the consolidated results of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and changes in cash flows, as the case may be, of Polaris and the Polaris Subsidiaries for the periods to which those statements relate, in each case in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved (except in each case as may be noted therein, and subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and as permitted by Form 10-Q in the case of unaudited statements).

(3) Since July 1, 2014, Polaris has designed and maintained a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that: (A) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Polaris and its consolidated Subsidiaries; (B) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Polaris Board; and (C) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Since July 1, 2014, Polaris (1) has designed and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information required to be disclosed by Polaris in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in

the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to Polaris’ management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and (2) has not resulted in (A) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting that are reasonably likely to adversely affect in any material respect Polaris’ ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information or (B) any fraud, whether or not material, involving management or other employees who have a significant role in Polaris’ internal control over financial reporting.

(h) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2015 through the date of this Agreement, Polaris and the Polaris Subsidiaries have not incurred any liability other than in the ordinary course of business, except for any liabilities that have not resulted in or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Polaris. Since December 31, 2015 through the date of this Agreement, (A) Polaris and the Polaris Subsidiaries have conducted their respective businesses in the ordinary course of business in all material respects (excluding the incurrence of expenses related to this Agreement and the Transactions) and (B) no event has occurred or circumstance arisen that, individually or taken together with all other facts, circumstances and events (described in any paragraph of Section 4.01 or otherwise) has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Polaris.

(i) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except (i) as reflected or adequately reserved against on the consolidated balance sheets of Polaris as of Xxxxx 00, 0000, (xx) for liabilities and obligations incurred since March 31, 2016 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (iii) for liabilities and obligations contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with the Transactions, neither Polaris nor any Polaris Subsidiary has any liabilities or obligations, contingent or otherwise, that would be required by GAAP to be reflected on, or disclosed in the notes to, the consolidated financial statements of Polaris and the Polaris Subsidiaries, other than as have not resulted in or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Polaris.

(j) Litigation. There is no suit, action, investigation or proceeding pending or, to Polaris’ Knowledge, threatened against Polaris or any Polaris Subsidiary or with respect to any Polaris Plan, nor is there any Order or arbitration outstanding against Polaris or any Polaris Subsidiary or with respect to any Polaris Plan, in each case, except for those that have not resulted in or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Polaris.

(h) Absence of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2015 through the date of this Agreement, Sirius and the Sirius Subsidiaries have not incurred any liability other than in the ordinary course of business, except for any liabilities that have not resulted in or would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Sirius.

(3) With respect to each Sirius Plan that is an ERISA Plan and that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, such Sirius Plan has been determined by the IRS to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and to Sirius’ Knowledge, nothing has occurred that would adversely

- 64 -

affect the qualification or Tax exemption of any such Sirius Plan. With respect to any ERISA Plan, neither Sirius nor any of the Sirius Subsidiaries has engaged in a transaction in connection with which Sirius or any Sirius Subsidiary reasonably could be subject to either a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or a Tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975 or 4976 of the Code in an amount that could be material.

Neither Sirius nor any Sirius Subsidiary has any liability for life or medical benefits to former employees or beneficiaries or dependents thereof, except for health continuation coverage as required by Section 4890B of the Code or Part 6 of Title I of ERISA and at no expense to Sirius or any Sirius Subsidiary.

(5) Except as set forth in Section 4.02(m)(5) of the Sirius Disclosure Letter, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, stockholder or other approval of this Agreement nor the consummation of any of the Transactions (either alone or in connection with any other event, condition or circumstance) would (i) result in any compensatory payment (including any severance, unemployment compensation, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer, employee or consultant of Sirius or any Sirius Subsidiary, (ii) materially increase any benefits or compensation otherwise payable by Sirius or any Sirius Subsidiary, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any awards or benefits or give rise to any additional service credits under any Sirius Plan, or (iv) result in the payment of any amount that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

(6) Neither Sirius nor any Sirius Subsidiary is a party to or maintains any plan, program, practice, agreement, arrangement or policy that provides any individual with the right to, a gross up, indemnification, reimbursement or other payment for any excise or additional taxes, interest or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 409A or Section 4999 of the Code or due to the failure of any payment to be deductible under Section 280G of the Code.

(7) With respect to any Sirius Plans that are maintained primarily for the benefit of employees outside of the United States (a “Non-U.S. Sirius Plan”) (x) if intended to qualify for special tax treatment, any such Non-U.S. Sirius Plan meets the requirements for such treatment in all material respects, (y) the financial statements of Sirius and the Sirius Subsidiaries accurately reflect the Non-U.S. Sirius Plan liabilities and accruals for contributions required to be paid to any Non-U.S. Sirius Plan, in accordance with GAAP (or other accounting principles required under applicable Law) consistently applied, and (z) there have not occurred, nor are there continuing, any transactions or breaches of fiduciary duty under any Law or regulation in connection with a Non-U.S. Sirius Plan that has resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Sirius or any Sirius Subsidiary.

As of the date hereof, there is no strike, lockout, slowdown, work stoppage, unfair labor practice or other material labor dispute, or arbitration or grievance pending or, to Sirius’ Knowledge, threatened. Each of Sirius and the Sirius Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws respecting labor, employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours, and occupational safety and health.

(o) Taxes.

(1) Sirius and each Sirius Subsidiary has timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority all Tax Returns required to be filed, taking into account any extension of time within which to file such

- 65 -

Sirius and each Sirius Subsidiary has duly paid (or there has been paid on their behalf), or made adequate provisions for, all material Taxes required to be paid by them, whether or not shown on any Tax Return. Neither Sirius nor any Sirius Subsidiary has received a written claim, or to the Knowledge of Sirius, an unwritten claim, by any authority in a jurisdiction where any of them does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to material Tax in that jurisdiction.

Section 4.02(o)(2) of the Sirius Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list identifying each Sirius Subsidiary that is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, a Taxable REIT Subsidiary or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. New Sirius has at all times since its formation been treated as a Qualified REIT Subsidiary of Sirius until the New Holdco Merger Effective Time.

No deficiency for Taxes of Sirius or any Sirius Subsidiary has been claimed, proposed or assessed in writing or, to the Knowledge of Sirius, threatened, by any Governmental Authority, which deficiency has not yet been settled, except for such deficiencies which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves have been made or with respect to which the failure to pay has not resulted in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Sirius Neither Sirius nor any Sirius Subsidiary has waived any statute of limitations with respect to material Taxes, or agreed to any extension of time with respect to any material Tax assessment or deficiency for any open tax year (in each case other than in connection with any extension of time to file any Tax Return). Neither Sirius nor any Sirius Subsidiary has entered into any “closing agreement” as described in Section 7121 of the Code (or any corresponding or similar provision of state, local or foreign income Tax Law) with regard to material Taxes.

- 66 -

(6) Neither Sirius nor any Sirius Subsidiary holds any asset the disposition of which would be subject to (or to rules similar to) Section 337(d) or Section 1374 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or to the “prohibited transactions” Tax under Section 857(b)(6), nor has it disposed of any such asset during its current taxable year.

(15) Except as set forth in Section 4.02(o)(15) of the Sirius Disclosure Letter, neither Sirius nor any Sirius Subsidiary is, will be (regardless of whether the Mergers occur) or would be, as a result of

(3) Since July 1, 2014, Constellation has designed and maintained a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that: (A) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of Constellation and its consolidated Subsidiaries; (B) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the Constellation Board; and (C) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

- 76 -

circumstance) would (i) result in any compensatory payment (including any severance, unemployment compensation, bonus or otherwise) becoming due to any director, officer, employee or consultant of Constellation or any Constellation Subsidiary, (ii) materially increase any benefits or compensation otherwise payable by Constellation or any Constellation Subsidiary, (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any awards or benefits or give rise to any additional service credits under any Constellation Plan, or (iv) result in the payment of any amount that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

(7) With respect to any Constellation Plans that are maintained primarily for the benefit of employees outside of the United States (a “Non-U.S. Constellation Plan”) (x) if intended to qualify for special tax treatment, any such Non-U.S. Constellation Plan meets the requirements for such treatment in all material respects, (y) the financial statements of Constellation and the Constellation Subsidiaries accurately reflect the Non-U.S. Constellation Plan liabilities and accruals for contributions required to be paid to any Non-U.S. Constellation Plan, in accordance with GAAP (or other accounting principles required under applicable Law) consistently applied, and (z) there have not occurred, nor are there continuing, any transactions or breaches of fiduciary duty under any Law or regulation in connection with a Non-U.S. Constellation Plan that has resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Constellation or any Constellation Subsidiary.

Each of Constellation and the Constellation Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws respecting labor, employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment, wages and hours, and occupational safety and health.

(o) Taxes.

(1) Constellation and each Constellation Subsidiary has timely filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority all Tax Returns required to be filed, taking into account any extension of time within which to file such Tax Returns, and all such Tax Returns are complete and correct, subject in each case to such exceptions as have not resulted in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Constellation. Constellation and each Constellation Subsidiary has duly paid (or there has been paid on their behalf), or made adequate provisions for, all material Taxes required to be paid by them, whether or not shown on any Tax Return. Neither Constellation nor any Constellation Subsidiary has received a written claim, or to the Knowledge of Constellation, an unwritten claim, by any authority in a jurisdiction where any of them does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to material Tax in that jurisdiction. Constellation and each Constellation Subsidiary have established reserves in accordance with GAAP that are adequate for the payment of all material Taxes not yet due and payable with respect to each of them through the date of the most recent Constellation Financial Statements.

Time; (in the case of each of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii), independent of, and without having to comply with, any (A) procedure for payment of a material deficiency or other post-Closing dividend for any taxable year, or (B) provision for relief from any requirement of the Code which may be available from the IRS on a discretionary basis or only upon the payment of a material excise, penalty or similar Tax, and (iv) has not taken or omitted to take any action if such action or omission, as the case may be, could reasonably be expected to result in a challenge by the IRS or any other Governmental Authority to its status as a REIT, and to the Knowledge of Constellation, no such challenge is pending or has been threatened in writing. Section 4.03(o)(2) of the Constellation Disclosure Letter sets forth a true, correct and complete list identifying each Constellation Subsidiary that is a Qualified REIT Subsidiary, a Taxable REIT Subsidiary or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(3) Constellation does not have any earnings and profits attributable to itself or any other corporation accumulated in any non-REIT year within the meaning of Section 857 of the Code.

Neither Constellation nor any Constellation Subsidiary has engaged in any transaction that would give rise to “redetermined rents,” “redetermined deductions,” “redetermined TRS service income,” or “excess interest” described in Section 857(b)(7) of the Code. No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, which presents a material risk that any material Tax described in the preceding sentences will be imposed on Constellation or any Constellation Subsidiary.

(6) Neither Constellation nor any Constellation Subsidiary (other than a Taxable REIT Subsidiary) holds any asset the disposition of which would be subject to (or to rules similar to) Section 337(d) or Section 1374 of the Code or the regulations thereunder or to the “prohibited transactions” Tax under Section 857(b)(6), nor has it disposed of any such asset during its current taxable year.

(7) Constellation and each of the Constellation Subsidiaries have complied, in all material respects, with all applicable Laws, rules and regulations relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes (including withholding of Taxes pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471 and 3402 of the Code or similar provisions under any foreign Laws) and have duly and timely withheld and have paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authorities all material amounts required to be so withheld and paid over on or prior to the due date thereof under all applicable Laws.

(8) There are no Constellation Tax Protection Agreements (as hereinafter defined) in force or otherwise binding upon Constellation or any Constellation Subsidiary. No person has raised in writing, or to the Knowledge of Constellation, threatened to raise a material claim against Constellation or any Constellation Subsidiary for any breach of any Constellation Tax Protection Agreements.

(1) Polaris will, and will cause the Polaris Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates, and shall direct each of its and the Polaris Subsidiaries’ other Representatives (to the extent acting on behalf of Polaris) to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any person conducted heretofore with respect to any Polaris Acquisition Proposal. Polaris will not, and will cause the Polaris Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates, and shall direct each of its and the Polaris Subsidiaries’ other Representatives (to the extent acting on behalf of Polaris) not to, directly or indirectly, (I) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate inquiries or proposals for, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have any discussions with, any person relating to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Polaris Acquisition Proposal, (II) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other person any information in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Polaris Acquisition Proposal, or (III) approve, recommend or enter into any letter of intent or similar document, agreement, commitment, or agreement in principle with respect to a Polaris Acquisition Proposal. As promptly as practicable following the date hereof (but in any event within three (3) business

- 87 -

days of the date hereof), Polaris shall: (1) withdraw and terminate access that was granted to any person (other than the Other Parties and their respective Representatives) to any “data room” (virtual or physical) that was established in connection with the Transactions and (2) exercise and use reasonable best efforts to enforce any contractual rights available to Polaris to cause each person (other than the Other Parties and their respective Representatives) who received non-public or confidential information of any of Polaris or any Polaris Subsidiary to promptly return to Polaris or destroy such information; provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Polaris shall be permitted to waive or to not enforce any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar obligation to permit a person to make a confidential Polaris Acquisition Proposal directly to the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) if the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith that any such failure to waive or to not enforce would result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the time, but not after, the Polaris Requisite Votes are obtained, Polaris and its Representatives may (A) provide information in response to a request therefor by a person or persons who has made a written Polaris Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.01(a) if Polaris receives from the person or persons so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement (containing a standstill provision and other provisions limiting the use and disclosure of non-public written and oral information furnished to such person by or on behalf of Polaris not materially less favorable to Polaris than the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreements) and, as contemplated below, Polaris discloses to the Other Parties (and, if applicable, provides copies to the Other Parties of) such written Polaris Acquisition Proposal and any nonpublic information provided to such person or persons to the extent not previously so provided to such Other Party, and (B) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person who has made such a written Polaris Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that, in each such case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) has determined in good faith based on the information then available and after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors that such Polaris Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Polaris Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Polaris Superior Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by the Representatives or Affiliates of any of Polaris or any Polaris Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.01 by Polaris.

(2) Polaris will promptly (and in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours after receipt thereof) notify the Other Parties in writing if any Polaris Acquisition Proposal is received by Polaris, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated with Polaris in respect of such Polaris Acquisition Proposal, and shall, in any such notice to the Other Parties, indicate the identity of the person making, and the material terms and conditions of such Polaris Acquisition Proposal (and shall include with such notice copies of any written Polaris Acquisition Proposal, including any proposed transaction agreement), and thereafter shall promptly (i) keep the Other Parties reasonably informed of all material developments affecting the status and terms of any such Polaris Acquisition Proposals and of the status of any such discussions or negotiations and (ii) provide the Other Parties with any written supplements or written additions to any written Polaris Acquisition Proposal, including any revisions to any proposed transaction agreement. Neither Polaris nor any Polaris Subsidiary will enter into any agreement with any person subsequent to the date of this Agreement which prohibits Polaris from providing any information to the Other Parties in accordance with this Section 6.01.

(b) No Change of Recommendation. Except as expressly provided in Sections 6.01(c), 6.01(d) and 8.03(e), neither the Polaris Board, nor any committee thereof, nor any group of directors, formally or informally, shall:

(1) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify or publicly propose or announce or authorize or resolve to, or announce its intention to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in each case in a manner adverse to the Other Parties, the Polaris Board Recommendation;

- 88 -

(2) authorize, approve, declare advisable, adopt or recommend or propose to publicly authorize, approve, declare advisable, adopt or recommend, any Polaris Acquisition Proposal;

(3) authorize, cause or permit Polaris or any Polaris Subsidiary to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement for any Polaris Acquisition Proposal; or

(4) fail to include the Polaris Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any action described in clauses (1), (2) or (4) of this Section 6.01(b) being referred to as a “Polaris Change of Recommendation”).

(c) Polaris Change of Recommendation; Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the time, but not after, the Polaris Requisite Votes are obtained, and subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.01(c) in all material respects, if (i) Polaris receives a Polaris Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.01 (and such proposal is not withdrawn) and the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors, that such Polaris Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Polaris Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to effect a Polaris Change of Recommendation in connection with such Polaris Superior Proposal or that failure to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement for such Polaris Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the Polaris directors’ duties under applicable Law, then the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may effect a Polaris Change of Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.03(c) or (ii) a Polaris Intervening Event occurs, and the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Polaris Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the Polaris directors’ duties under applicable Law, then the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may effect a Polaris Change of Recommendation; provided, however, that the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may not take action contemplated by clause (i) or (ii) pursuant to the foregoing unless:

(1) Polaris has provided written notice to the Other Parties of its intention to take such action at least three (3) business days in advance of effecting a Polaris Change of Recommendation or terminating this Agreement (unless at the time such notice is otherwise required to be given there are less than three (3) business days prior to the Polaris Stockholders Meeting, in which case Polaris will provide as much notice as is reasonably practicable (the period inclusive of all such days, the “Polaris Notice Period”)), which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such action and, if such action is made in response to a Polaris Superior Proposal, such prior written notice shall include a description of the material terms of such Polaris Superior Proposal and a copy of the then existing draft of the definitive agreement providing for such Polaris Superior Proposal and any then existing drafts of the other relevant transaction agreements (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the terms of such Polaris Superior Proposal (after having been initially determined by the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) to no longer constitute a Polaris Superior Proposal) shall require a new notice pursuant to this Section 6.01(c)(1) and a new Polaris Notice Period, except that such new Polaris Notice Period in connection with any such amendment shall be for two (2) business days from the time the Other Parties receive such notice (or as much notice as is reasonably practicable if there are less than two (2) business days prior to the Polaris Stockholders Meeting));

(2) if such action is made in response to a Polaris Superior Proposal, during the Polaris Notice Period, Polaris has negotiated (and directed its outside financial and outside legal advisors to negotiate) with the Other Parties in good faith (to the extent the Other Parties desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Polaris Superior Proposal ceases to constitute (in the good faith determination of the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof), after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors) a Polaris Superior Proposal; and

(3) if such action is made in response to a Polaris Intervening Event, during the Polaris Notice Period, Polaris has negotiated (and directed its outside financial and outside legal advisors to negotiate) with the

- 89 -

Other Parties in good faith (to the extent the Other Parties desire to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that that the failure to effect a Polaris Change of Recommendation would not be inconsistent with the Polaris directors’ duties under applicable Law.

(d) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Polaris or the Polaris Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) from complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or otherwise complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law with regard to a Polaris Acquisition Proposal, provided that, if such disclosure has the effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying, or does not restate, the Polaris Board Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Polaris Change of Recommendation.

(c) Sirius Change of Recommendation; Right to Terminate. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the time, but not after, the Sirius Requisite Vote is obtained, and subject to compliance with the provisions of this Section 6.02(c) in all material respects, if (i) Sirius receives a Sirius Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.02 (and such proposal is not withdrawn) and the Sirius Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors, that such Sirius Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Sirius Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to effect a Sirius Change of Recommendation in connection with such Sirius Superior Proposal or that failure to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement for such Sirius Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the Sirius directors’ duties under applicable Law then the Sirius Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) may effect a Sirius Change of Recommendation and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.04(c) or (ii) a Sirius Intervening Event occurs and the Sirius Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to effect a Sirius Change of Recommendation would be inconsistent with the Sirius

(c) If, at any time prior to receipt of the Polaris Requisite Votes, the Sirius Requisite Vote or the Constellation Requisite Vote, any information relating to Polaris, Sirius, Constellation or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by Polaris, Sirius or Constellation which, in the reasonable judgment of Polaris, Sirius or Constellation, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, any of the Form S-4 or the Proxy Statement, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the Other Parties, and the parties shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Form S-4, as applicable and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to common stockholders of Polaris, Sirius or Constellation.

(b) The parties and their respective Subsidiaries will cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare as promptly as practicable all documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary to consummate the Mergers (including Requisite Regulatory Approvals) and the other Transactions and will make all necessary filings in respect of the Requisite Regulatory Approvals as soon as practicable.

In addition, each party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any consents, approvals or waivers under any material Contract pursuant to which the Transactions could give rise to a default or acceleration (following the provision of any notice, passage of time or both) thereunder and to take any further actions reasonably requested by an Other Party to avoid any such default or acceleration. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the parties will act reasonably and as

- 98 -

Each party will consult with the Other Parties with respect to obtaining all material permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all third parties and Governmental Authorities necessary or advisable to consummate the Transactions and each party will keep the Other Parties apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the Transactions. At the written request of any party not less than sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the parties shall take the actions specified on Section 6.06(b) of the Constellation Disclosure Letter.

(d) Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall:

The parties shall reasonably cooperate and consult each other in good faith on any material decisions in the defense of any Transaction Litigation and none of the parties shall settle, compromise, come to an arrangement regarding or agree to settle, compromise or come to an arrangement regarding any such Transaction Litigation, without each of the Other Party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

6.07 Press Releases. Each party will consult with the Other Parties before issuing any press release, written and broadly disseminated employee communication or other written stockholder communication with respect to the Mergers or the other Transactions or this Agreement and will not issue any such stockholder communication or make any such public statement with respect to the Mergers or the other Transactions or this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Other Parties, which will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; provided that a party may, without the prior written consent of the Other Parties (but after prior consultation, to the extent practicable in the circumstances), issue such communication or make such public statement as may be required by applicable Law or securities exchange rules; provided, further, that a party may, without the prior written consent of the Other Parties, and without consultation, issue any communications relating to a Polaris Acquisition Proposal, Sirius Acquisition Proposal or Constellation Acquisition Proposal, as applicable; provided, further, that any such communication relating to a Polaris Acquisition Proposal, Sirius Acquisition Proposal or Constellation Acquisition Proposal that does not restate the Polaris Board Recommendation, Sirius Board Recommendation or Constellation Board Recommendation, respectively, shall be

- 99 -

a Polaris Change of Recommendation, Sirius Change of Recommendation or Constellation Change of Recommendation, as the case may be. The parties will use their respective reasonable best efforts to cooperate on a prompt basis to develop all public communications and make appropriate members of management available at presentations related to the Transactions as reasonably requested by the Other Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.07 limits the obligations of Polaris, Sirius and Constellation under Section 6.01, Section 6.02 and Section 6.03, respectively.

(b) Each party will hold any information which is nonpublic and confidential to the extent required by, and in accordance with, the confidentiality agreements between the parties (the “Confidentiality Agreements”).

6.09 Takeover Laws and Provisions. Each party shall not, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries not to, take any action that would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause any Takeover Law to become applicable to this Agreement, the Transactions, or grant any waiver under any Takeover Law with respect to any Sirius Acquisition Proposal, Polaris Acquisition Proposal or Constellation Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, or other transaction with a third party. If any Takeover Law is or may become applicable to the Transactions, each of the parties and the respective board or directors shall grant such approvals and shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to take such actions so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any Takeover Law on the Transactions. Nothing in this Section 6.09 shall be construed to permit Polaris to do any act that would constitute a violation or breach of, or as a waiver of any of Sirius’ or Constellation’s rights under, any other provision of this Agreement.

6.10 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time, New Polaris shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and New Polaris shall also advance reasonable expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification), each present and former director or officer of Polaris, Sirius and Constellation and each of their respective Subsidiaries, in each case, when such individual is acting in such capacity (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties” and each, an “Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Applicable Effective Time arising out of the Transactions.

- 100 -

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, for a period of six years from and after the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time, New Polaris shall not and shall not permit the New Polaris Subsidiaries to amend, repeal or otherwise modify any provision in the New Polaris Constituent Documents relating to the exculpation or indemnification (including fee advancement) of any Indemnified Parties in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Parties, it being the intent of the parties that the Indemnified Parties shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification (including fee advancement) to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law as provided in Section 6.10(a). New Polaris shall, and shall cause the New Polaris Subsidiaries to, honor and perform under all indemnification obligations owed to any of the Indemnified Parties.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under Section 6.10(a), upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, shall promptly notify New Polaris thereof, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve New Polaris of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party (and only to the extent of such prejudice). In the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or after the Applicable Effective Time), (1) New Polaris shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, and New Polaris shall not be liable to such Indemnified Parties for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense thereof, except that if New Polaris elects not to assume such defense or counsel for the Indemnified Parties and advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between New Polaris and the Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties may retain counsel satisfactory to them, and New Polaris shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Parties promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that New Polaris shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 6.10(c) to pay for only one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, provided that the fewest number of counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used; (2) the Indemnified Parties will cooperate in the defense of any such matter, and (3) New Polaris shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent; and provided further that New Polaris shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnification of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

(d) Prior to Closing, New Polaris shall obtain and fully pay for “tail” insurance policies with a claims period of at least six years from and after the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as Polaris’, Sirius’ and Constellation’s current insurance carriers with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as Polaris’, Sirius’ and Constellation’s existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Applicable Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or actions contemplated hereby). If New Polaris fails to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time, New Polaris shall maintain in effect for a period of at least six years from and after the Constellation-Polaris Merger Effective Time the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement, with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in Polaris’, Sirius’ and Constellation’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or New Polaris shall use its reasonable best efforts to purchase comparable D&O Insurance for such six-year period with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as provided in New Polaris’ existing policies as of the date of this Agreement.

(e) If New Polaris or any of its successors or assigns (1) shall consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (2) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Polaris shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.10.

- 101 -

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.10 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(g) The rights of each of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.10 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Organizational Documents of Polaris, Sirius, Constellation or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or under any applicable contracts or Laws. The parties acknowledge and agree that upon the consummation of the Constellation-Polaris Merger, New Polaris (as the successor to Constellation) shall be bound by the terms of that certain Contribution and Implementation Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2014, by and among Constellation and the other parties signatory thereto, including the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 7.11 thereof, and shall be responsible for the observance and full performance of the obligations of Constellation thereunder.

6.12 Notification of Certain Matters. Each party shall give prompt notice to the Other Parties of any fact, event or circumstance known to it that (a) could reasonably likely, individually or taken together with all other facts, events and circumstances known to it, result in any Material Adverse Effect with respect to it or (b) would cause or constitute a material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein that reasonably could be expected to give rise, individually or in the aggregate, to the failure of a condition in Article VII.

6.14 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) The parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause each of the Redomestication Merger and the New Holdco Merger together with the LLC Conversion to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code and each Public Merger to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. None of the parties shall take any action, or fail to take any action, that could reasonably be expected to cause the Redomestication Merger or the New Holdco Merger together with the LLC Conversion to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code or any Public Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Provided that (i) Polaris shall have received the opinion of counsel referred to in Section 7.02(h), (ii) Sirius shall have received the opinions of counsel referred to in Section 7.03(h) and (iii) Constellation shall have received the opinion of counsel referred to in Section 7.04(h), the parties shall treat the each of (x) the Redomestication Merger and (y) the New Holdco Merger together with the LLC Conversion as a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code and each Public Merger as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code, and no party shall take any position for tax purposes inconsistent therewith, except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(b) The parties shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer or stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees and any similar taxes that

In the event that Polaris or Sirius is obligated to pay Constellation the Polaris Termination Fee (or a portion thereof) or Sirius Termination Fee (or a portion thereof), as applicable, the amount payable to Constellation in any tax year of Constellation shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the amounts required to be paid by Polaris and Sirius collectively to Constellation pursuant to this Section 8.06, and (ii) the sum of (A) the maximum amount that can be paid to Constellation without causing such party to fail to meet the requirements of Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code for the relevant tax year, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income, and Constellation has income from unknown sources during such year in an amount equal to 1% of its gross income which is not Qualifying Income (in addition to any known or anticipated income which is not Qualifying Income), in each case as determined by Constellation’s independent accountants, plus (B) in the event Constellation receives either (x) a letter from Constellation’s counsel indicating that Constellation has received a ruling from the IRS as described in this Section 8.06 or (y) an opinion from its outside counsel as described in this Section 8.06, an amount equal to the excess of the Termination Fee (or a portion thereof, as applicable) less the amount payable under clause (A) above.

(u) To secure Polaris’ or Sirius’ obligation to pay any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.06, Polaris or Sirius, as applicable, shall deposit into escrow the applicable Termination Fee (or a portion thereof, as applicable) with an escrow agent selected by Polaris or Sirius, as applicable, on such terms (subject to this Section 8.06) as shall be mutually agreed upon by Polaris or Sirius, as applicable, and Constellation and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of such amount by either Polaris or Sirius pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall be made at the time Polaris or Sirius, as applicable, is obligated to pay Constellation such amount pursuant to Section 8.06 by wire transfer. The escrow agreement shall provide that any amounts in escrow or any portion thereof in accordance with this Section 8.06 shall not be released to Constellation unless the escrow agent receives any one or combination of the following: (i) a letter from Constellation’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to Constellation without causing such party to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income and Constellation has income from unknown sources during such year in an amount equal to 1% of its gross income which is not Qualifying Income (in addition to any known or anticipated income which is not Qualifying Income), in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to the receiving party, or (ii) a letter from Constellation’s counsel indicating that (A) Constellation received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by such party of such amounts would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code or (B) Constellation’s outside counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by such party of such amounts should either constitute Qualifying Income or should be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of such amounts to Constellation. Polaris and Sirius agree to amend this Section 8.06 at the reasonable request of Constellation in order to (i) maximize the portion of such amounts that may be distributed to Constellation hereunder without causing Constellation to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (ii) improve Constellation’s chances of securing a favorable ruling described in this Section 8.06 or (iii) assist Constellation in obtaining a favorable legal opinion from its outside counsel as described in this Section 8.06. Any amounts required to be paid by Polaris and Sirius collectively to Constellation pursuant to this Section 8.06 that remain unpaid as of the end of a taxable year shall be paid as soon

- 122 -

as possible during the following taxable year, provided, however, that the obligation of Polaris or Sirius to pay the unpaid portion of such amount, as applicable, shall terminate on the next December 31 following the date which is five (5) years from the date of this Agreement.

9.08 Entire Understanding; No Third Party Beneficiaries. All Exhibits (attached hereto and as executed), Schedules and Disclosure Letters hereto shall be deemed to be incorporated into and made part of this Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits, Schedules and Disclosure Letters hereto, the Confidentiality Agreements, the Constellation Support Agreement, the Polaris/Sirius Support Agreement and the Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between Sirius, Polaris and NSAM J-NRF Ltd. contain the entire agreement and understanding among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (and supersede any prior agreements, arrangements or understandings among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof) and there are no agreements, representations, or warranties which are not set forth herein. Subject to Section 9.12, except for Section 6.10, which is intended to benefit the Indemnified Parties to the extent stated, nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any person other than Sirius, Constellation and Polaris.

9.09 Assignment. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Prior to the Closing, no party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto.

9.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original as against any party whose signature appears thereon, and all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become binding when two or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, shall bear the signatures of all parties reflected hereon as the signatories. The execution and delivery of this Agreement may be effected by facsimile or any other electronic means such as “.pdf” files.

9.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the parties will negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

9.12 Debt Financing Sources.
