Any consent, waiver or other approval to be given hereunder or exercise of any right hereunder, in each case, by the Founders, whether as an Investor or Founder hereunder and whether individually or together, may be given or exercised, as applicable, by Xxx de Xx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx. Xxx de Xx Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxx is, by execution of this Agreement, irrevocably appointed by each of the Founders as the Founders’ representative and authorized to represent the Founders under and in connection with this Agreement and in relation to the Merger, the Support Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
5.2 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.
5.3 Remedies. The parties hereto agree that, except as provided herein, this Agreement will be enforceable by all parties hereto by all available remedies at Law or in equity (including, without limitation, specific performance, without bond or other security being required). In the event that an Investor is a Failing Investor, the parties hereto agree that any Funding Investor shall be entitled, in its discretion, to either (a) specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, whether before or after the Closing, together with any costs of enforcement incurred by such Funding
11
Investor in seeking to enforce such remedy, without bond or other security being required or (b) provided that the Funding Investor elects to fund the Failing Investor’s Commitment, specific performance of the payment by such Failing Investor in an amount equal to such Failing Investor’s pro rata percentage (based on its Commitment) of Investor Transaction Expenses, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.2.3 hereof. If the Merger fails to be consummated due to an Investor’s breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement or the Support Agreement (including by causing Parent to either take an action or fail to take an action which, in either case, gives rise to a breach of the terms of the Merger Agreement), the non-breaching Lead Investors shall be entitled to (a) specific performance of this Agreement, (b) payment or reimbursement by the breaching Investor of all out-of-pocket damages or expenses incurred by Parent, Merger Sub or the non-breaching Investors (including recovery of all termination fee, expense reimbursement obligations or other amounts payable by Parent or Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement) relating to, or arising from, such breach, and/or (c) reimbursement by the breaching Investor for any costs of enforcement incurred by the non-breaching Investors in seeking to enforce such remedies. Such Investor will not have the right to recover lost profits or benefit of the bargain damages from the Failing Investor or breaching Investor, and the only damages remedy against the Failing Investor or breaching Investor are set forth above. If the majority of Funding Investors or non-breaching Investors, as applicable, determine to enforce the remedy in accordance with this Section 5.3 against any Failing Investor or breaching Investor, as applicable, they must do so against all Failing Investors or breaching Investors, as applicable. If there are multiple Failing Investors or breaching Investors, each Failing Investor’s or breaching Investor’s portion of the total obligations hereunder shall be the amount equal to the product of (x) the amounts due from all Failing Investors and breaching Investors, as applicable, hereunder multiplied by (y) a fraction of which the numerator is such Failing Investor’s or Breaching Investor’s Commitment and the denominator is the sum of all Failing Investors’ or Breaching Investors’ Commitments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will a Failing Investor or breaching Investor be liable under this Agreement in an amount that exceeds the aggregate amount of damages, settlements amounts and out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid to third parties. If a Failing Investor or breaching Investor for any reason pays damages to the Company and/or Parent in an amount greater than the amount of its Commitment, to the extent that Parent receives any such amount, Parent shall promptly return to such Failing Investor or breaching Investor the amount received from the Failing Investor or breaching Investor in excess of its Commitment.
5.4 No Recourse. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or otherwise, the parties to this Agreement agree on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Affiliates that this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any litigation for breach of this Agreement may only be made against, the parties to this Agreement, and, with respect to each party to this Agreement, none of such party’s former, current or future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, attorneys or assignees (or any former, current or future equity holder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent, representative, Affiliate, member, manager, general or limited partner, attorney or assignee of any of the foregoing) (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) that is not a party to this Agreement shall have any Liability relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein (except under the Equity Commitment Letters, and Support Agreement (in each case, to the extent provided therein)) or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. None of the parties shall have any rights of recovery in respect hereof against any Non-Recourse Party and no personal liability shall attach to
12
any Non-Recourse Party through any party hereto, or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil, by or through a litigation (whether in tort, contract or otherwise), by the enforcement of any judgment, fine or penalty or by virtue of any Law, or otherwise. No Additional Rollover Shareholder may bring any Action against Parent or any Lead Investor except to specifically enforce its rights that are specifically granted to such Additional Rollover Shareholder hereunder.
5.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York, without respect to its applicable principles of conflicts of laws that might require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction, except for that matters arising out of or relating to the cancellation or contribution (as applicable) of the Rollover Shares contemplated by this Agreement shall be interpreted, constructed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the Cayman Islands in respect of which the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Cayman Islands. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (“New York Courts”) in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action shall be heard and determined in the New York Courts, (ii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement in the New York Courts, including any objection based on its place of incorporation or domicile, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action in any such court and (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the Parties consents and agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document for any action permitted hereunder may be delivered by registered mail addressed in accordance with Section 5.19 at the applicable address set forth on the signature pages hereto or in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
5.6 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY BE BASED UPON, ARISE OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY FOR ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION OR VALIDITY THEREOF. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO OTHER PARTY NOR ITS REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS HAVE REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, EACH PARTY HEREBY
13
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
5.7 Exercise of Rights and Remedies. No delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring later; nor shall any such delay, omission or waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver.
5.8 Other Agreements; Assignment. This Agreement, together with the agreements referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and statements, both written and oral, among the parties or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Merger Agreement and the other agreements expressly referred to herein or therein as being entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement). Other than as provided herein, this Agreement shall not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of each of the other parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, General Atlantic, Dragoneer and the Founders agree that the Joint Bidding Agreement is hereby terminated; provided that, the termination of the Joint Bidding Agreement shall not relieve any party thereto of any liability or obligation resulting from any breach thereof, which accrued thereunder prior to the termination of the Joint Bidding Agreement.
5.9 Non-Circumvention. Each party hereto agrees that it shall not indirectly accomplish that which it is not permitted to accomplish directly under this Agreement.
5.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding on each party hereto solely for the benefit of each other party hereto and nothing set forth in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer, directly or indirectly, upon or give to any Person other than the parties hereto any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause the parties hereto to enforce, any provisions of this Agreement, except the Non-Recourse Parties shall have the right to enforce their rights under Section 5.4.

Except as permitted under this Section 5.11 or Section 5.12, each Investor (the “Recipient”) shall not, and shall direct his, her or its Affiliates and the Representatives of the foregoing not to, disclose any Confidential Information obtained from a disclosing Investor without the prior written consent of such disclosing Investor; provided that the Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information to Persons in connection with a Permitted Syndication and to any of his, her or its Affiliates and any of the Representatives of the foregoing who need to know such Confidential Information in connection with advising such Investor with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, in each case, (prior to such disclosure) have agreed with the Recipient to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as set out herein or are otherwise bound by applicable Law or rules of professional conduct to keep such information confidential. Each Investor shall not and shall direct his, her or its Affiliates and the Representatives of the foregoing to whom Confidential

In the event that an Investor receives a request to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information from a court or governmental or regulatory authority or agency or is obligated to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information as described in clause (a) of the preceding sentence, it shall, to the extent permitted by law, (x) notify as promptly as possible each affected Investor of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such obligation; (y) consult with such affected Investor on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or defend against such obligation or to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information following such disclosure; and (z) if disclosure of such Confidential Information shall be required, furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that such Investor is requested or legally compelled to disclose.
5.13 Public Disclosures.
