(p) Controlled Foreign Corporation. Immediately after the Closing, the Company will not be a “Controlled Foreign Corporation” (“CFC”) as defined in the Code with respect to the Subscription Shares.

The Company shall make due inquiry with its Tax advisors on at least an annual basis regarding its status as a PFIC, and if the Company is informed by its tax advisors that it has become a PFIC, or that there is a likelihood of the Company being classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, the Company shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing of such status or risk, as the case may be. In connection with a “Qualified Electing Fund” election made by a Purchaser or any of a Purchaser’s Partners pursuant to Section 1295 of the Code or a “Protective Statement” filed by such Purchaser or any of such Purchaser’s Partners pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-3, as amended (or any successor thereto), the Company shall provide annual financial information to the Purchaser in a form reasonably requested by Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of each taxable year of the Company (but in no event later than 90 days following the end of each such taxable year), and shall provide the Purchaser with access to such other Company information as may be required for purposes of filing U.S. federal income tax returns in connection with such Qualified Electing Fund election or Protective Statement.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Purchaser is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Purchaser is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby and any advice given by the Purchaser or any of its Representatives or agents in connection with the Transaction Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby is merely incidental to the Purchaser’s purchase of the Subscription Shares.

(s) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Subscription Shares by the Company to the Purchaser as contemplated hereby.

(t) No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Subscription Shares by any form of general solicitation or general advertising. The Company has offered the Subscription Shares for sale only to the Purchaser.

(u) No Disqualification Events. With respect to the Subscription Shares to be offered and sold hereunder in reliance on Rule 506 under the Securities Act, none of the Company, any of its predecessors, any affiliated issuer, any director, executive officer, other officer of the Company participating in the offering hereunder, any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding voting equity securities, calculated on the basis of voting power, nor any promoter (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) connected with the Company in any capacity at the time of sale (each, an “Issuer Covered Person”) is subject to any of the “Bad Actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) to (viii) under the Securities Act (a “Disqualification Event”), except for a Disqualification Event covered by Rule 506(d)(2) or (d)(3). The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Issuer Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent applicable, with its disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e).

(v) Notice of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Purchaser in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, reasonably be expected to become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person, in each case of which it is aware.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, each Party, as applicable (the “Indemnifying Party”), shall indemnify and hold the other Party and its directors, officers, employees, agents, Subsidiaries and Affiliates (collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, obligations, expenses and liabilities of any kind or nature whatsoever, including but not limited to any investigative, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with, and any amounts paid in settlement of, any pending or threatened legal action or proceeding, and any taxes or levies that may be payable by such person by reason of the indemnification of any indemnifiable loss hereunder (collectively, “Losses”) resulting from or arising out of: (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Indemnifying Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates contained in the Transaction Agreements or (ii) the violation or nonperformance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement of the Indemnifying Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates contained in the Transaction Agreements.

(b) No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any Loss consisting of punitive damages (except to the extent that such punitive damages are awarded to a third party against an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third Party Claim (as defined below)).

(c) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Losses, other than with respect to breaches of Fundamental Representations, until such time as the aggregate amount of all such Losses that have been suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnified Parties exceeds $1,500,000 (the “Loss Threshold”), provided, however, that once the aggregate amount of all such Losses exceeds the Loss Threshold, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for all such Losses (including the Loss Threshold).

(d) The maximum aggregate amount of Losses that the Indemnified Parties will be entitled to recover pursuant to this Schedule 1, other than with respect to breaches of any Fundamental Representations or violation or nonperformance of any covenant or agreement, shall be limited to $109,999,994.98. The maximum aggregate amount of Losses that the Indemnified Parties will be entitled to recover for breaches of Fundamental Representations (inclusive and not in duplication of the amounts recoverable in the preceding sentence) shall be limited to $549,999,974.92. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained herein, the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in this Section 1) shall not apply to any claim based on fraud or willful misconduct of the Indemnifying Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, for the purposes of this Section 1, in determining the amount of any Losses suffered by any Indemnified Parties as a result of, arising out or in connection with any such breach, violation, inaccuracy in each such case for which the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Schedule 1, all qualifications and limitations in such representations and warranties included in any Transaction Agreement, in each case, with respect to material adverse effect, Material Adverse Effect, materiality, material or similar terms shall be entirely disregarded and will not have any effect.

S-1-1

(f) The Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement more than once in respect of the same Losses suffered.

(g) Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, the remedies contained in this Schedule 1 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Indemnified Parties for any claim arising out of or resulting from this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, except that no limitation or exceptions with respect to the obligations or liabilities on either Party provided hereunder shall apply to a Loss incurred by any Indemnified Party arising due to the fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation of the Indemnifying Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Nothing in this Schedule 1 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect any parties’ rights to specific performance or other equitable or non-monetary remedies with respect to the covenants and agreements in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Agreements or that are to be performed at or after the Closing; provided that for the avoidance of doubt, except in the case of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, nothing contained herein shall permit any party to rescind this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.

(h) The amount of any Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Schedule 1 shall be reduced by (i) any amounts that have been recovered by any Indemnified Party from any third party, and (ii) any insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or source of reimbursement that have been received by any Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses, in each case, net of any costs of recovery. If any amount to be reduced under this section from any payment required under this Schedule 1 is determined after the date on which the Indemnifying Party has paid such indemnification claim, the Indemnified Party shall reasonably promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party any amount that the Indemnifying Party would not have had to pay pursuant to this Schedule 1 had such determination been made at the time of such indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party.

(i) Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the Losses it incurs.

Section 2 Third Party Claims.

(a) If any third party shall notify any Indemnified Party in writing with respect to any matter involving a claim by such third party (a “Third Party Claim”) which such Indemnified Party believes would give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party under this Schedule 1, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly following receipt of notice of such claim (i) notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (“Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure, delay or other deficiency in providing such notice shall constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure, delay or deficiency.

S-1-2

(b) Upon receipt of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by, within 30 days of receipt of the Claim Notice, notifying the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, and upon delivery of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to fully control and settle the proceeding, provided, that, any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal action, (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against any Indemnified Party (other than immaterial equitable relief in connection with an award of monetary damages), or (iii) the Third Party Claim is or would reasonably be expected to result in Losses in excess of the amounts available for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 2(b), the Indemnifying Party shall conduct such defense in good faith.

(c) If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate reasonably with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including in connection with the making of any related counterclaim against the person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to any Third Party Claim, other than any privileged communications between the Indemnifying Party and its counsel, and shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, to retain separate co-counsel and participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim assumed by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 2(b) above.

(d) In the event of a Third Party Claim for which the Indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense or fails to make such an election within the 30 days of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Party; provided that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 3 Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against the Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the Indemnified Party’s good faith estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement; provided, that no failure, delay or deficiency in providing such notice shall constitute a waiver or otherwise modify the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnity hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced by such failure, delay or deficiency. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim.
