Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, benefits or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that Spinco may assign any or all of its rights and interests under this Agreement without the consent of the other Parties hereto (a) to any Person providing the Spinco Financing or the Additional Financing pursuant to the terms thereof for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assign as collateral in respect of such Spinco Financing or the Additional Financing, or (b) to any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of such Person; provided, however, that, in each case, no such assignment shall release Spinco from any liability or obligation under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Article X (General Provisions) Section 10.6 (Governing Law; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL) and Section 10.17 (No Recourse to Lenders) are hereby amended by adding the following text immediately after “the Spinco Financing” in each instance such text appears therein:

“or the Additional Financing”

Schedule I hereto is added as a new Exhibit C to the Merger Agreement.

3.	Voyager consent to transaction with MSIM Purchasers and Sequoia Purchasers

Harbor and Spinco, as applicable, intend to (i) enter into a stock subscription and purchase agreement with the funds affiliated with Sequoia Heritage listed on Exhibit B thereto (the “Sequoia Purchasers”), and certain funds and accounts advised by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Investment Management, Inc. (the “MSIM Purchasers” and, together with the Sequoia Purchasers, the “Purchasers”) listed on Exhibit B thereto (the “Sequoia/MSIM SPA”) and, in the case of Spinco, to enter into a registration rights agreement with the investors on Schedule A thereto (the “Sequoia/MSIM RRA”), (ii) in the case of Spinco, issue a certain number of shares of Spinco Common Stock to the Purchasers immediately prior to the Distribution Time pursuant to the Sequoia/MSIM SPA, (iii) in the case of Spinco, file a registration statement on form S-1 to register the shares of Spinco Common Stock being issued to the Purchasers under the Securities Act pursuant to the Sequoia/MSIM SPA and the Sequoia/MSIM RRA, (iv) in the case of Spinco, include an “excess share” provision in its Certificate of Incorporation that (among other things) will prohibit beneficial ownership of Spinco shares in excess of certain ownership thresholds for the two-year period following the Distribution, and will prohibit certain preexisting stockholders (including the Purchasers and certain Voyager stockholders) from acquiring additional Spinco shares unless certain specific requirements and conditions are met (the “Excess Share Provision”), and (v) take such other actions as may be contemplated by the Sequoia/MSIM SPA or the Sequoia/MSIM RRA (the “S/MSIM Transaction”).

Pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.5(b) of the Merger Agreement, Voyager hereby consents to and approves (i) the execution of the Sequoia/MSIM SPA by Harbor and Spinco and the execution of the Sequoia/MSIM RRA by Spinco, and the inclusion of the Excess Share Provision in the Spinco Certificate of Incorporation, in each case in such form as has been approved by Voyager, and (ii) the S/MSIM Transaction, and authorizes Harbor and Spinco to proceed with the execution of Sequoia/MSIM SPA and the Sequoia/MSIM RRA, the performance by Harbor and Spinco of the obligations set forth therein and the completion of the S/MSIM Transaction.

4.	Harbor consent to incurrence of Indebtedness by Voyager

Voyager has informed Harbor that it intends to incur certain Indebtedness (by requesting one or more loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $15,000,000 from XX Xxxxxx Chase & Co. or other lenders) (the “Additional Voyager Indebtedness”) to fund the payment of certain expenses prior to the Closing. Harbor acknowledges the above and hereby consents to the incurrence of the Additional Voyager Indebtedness by Voyager (in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $15,000,000) pursuant to Section 6.2 of the Merger Agreement; provided, that Harbor’s consent to Voyager’s incurrence of the Additional Voyager Indebtedness is subject to, and conditioned upon, the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Additional Voyager Indebtedness and (ii) the principal amount of the existing Indebtedness of Voyager (consisting of a credit facility entered into by Voyager and certain lenders party thereto, including Midwest Community Development Fund II, LLC and BizCapital Bidco I, LLC, in an aggregate principal amount of $14,650,000) not exceeding $29,650,000.
