SECTION 6.7.       Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)            Parent and Xxxxxx Sub agree that all rights to exculpation and indemnification (and all rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto) for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any matters arising in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions), now existing in favor of the Indemnitees as provided in the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company, as amended to date, and as most recently publicly filed prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Charter”), or the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, as amended to date, and as most recently publicly filed prior to the date of this Agreement (“Bylaws”) (or such equivalent organizational or governing documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement) or in any Contract between such Indemnitee and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (in each case as in effect on the date hereof) shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect. From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and advance expenses to the Indemnitees, to the fullest extent the Company would have been permitted to do so under applicable Law, the Organizational Documents of the Company or its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement or any agreement in existence as of the date of this Agreement providing for indemnification or advancement of expenses between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnitee, with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including advancing fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Proceedings whenever asserted, based on or arising out of, in whole or in part, (A) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a member, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a member, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or taken at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case under clause (A) or (B), whether prior to, at or after the Effective Time (including any Proceeding relating in whole or in part to the Transactions or relating to the enforcement of this provision or any other indemnification or expense advancement right of any Indemnitee). Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall cause the articles of incorporation, bylaws or other Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitation of director, officer and employee liability that are no less favorable to the Indemnitees than those set forth in the Charter and the Bylaws and the Company’s Subsidiaries’ Organizational Documents as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions thereafter shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitee. From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall assume, be jointly and severally liable for, and honor, guaranty and stand surety for, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this Section 6.7.

(b)            Without limiting the provisions of Section 6.7(a), to the fullest extent the Company would have been permitted to do so under applicable Law, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, without requiring any preliminary determination of entitlement to indemnification, pay in advance of the final disposition of any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Indemnitee upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to repay such amount even if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.7(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.7 unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnitees from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, and does not include an admission of fault or wrongdoing by any Indemnitee.

(c)            Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall or, if the Company is unable to, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for a six (6)-year prepaid non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies (collectively, the “D&O Insurance”), in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period or time at or prior to the Effective Time (the “Tail Policies”) from the Company’s current insurance carrier or an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as in effect as of the most recent renewal date as maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, covering, without limitation, the Transactions. The Surviving Corporation shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation. If the Company or the Surviving Corporation for any reason fails to obtain such Tail Policies as of the Effective Time, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with the Company’s current insurance carrier or with an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to D&O Insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies as of the most recent renewal date, or (ii) Parent will provide, or cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, for a period of not less than six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Indemnitees who are insured under the Company’s D&O Insurance with comparable D&O Insurance that provides coverage for events occurring at or prior to the Effective Time from the Company’s current insurance carrier or an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier, that is no less favorable than the existing policy of the Company as of the most recent renewal date or, if substantially equivalent insurance coverage is unavailable, the best available coverage.

(d)            The Indemnitees to whom this Section 6.7 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7. The provisions of this Section 6.7 are intended to be for the benefit of each Indemnitee and his or her successors, heirs or representatives. To the fullest extent the Company would have been permitted to do so under applicable Law, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay any expenses, including advancing fees and attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnitee in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.7.

(e)            The rights of each Indemnitee under this Section 6.7 shall be in addition to any rights such Person may have under the Charter or the Bylaws (or equivalent organizational or governing documents of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries), articles of incorporation, bylaws or other Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation, under any applicable Law or under any agreement of any Indemnitee with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(f)            Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 6.7 shall survive the consummation of the Merger indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, and shall be enforceable by the Indemnitees and their successors, heirs or representatives. In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person or Parent or any of its respective successors or assigns dissolves the Surviving Corporation, then, and in each such case, Parent shall ensure that proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7 and use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that a Person no less financially viable than the Surviving Corporation (in the event the Effective Time occurs) remains responsible for the obligations of such Party under this Section 6.7.

(g)            Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.7 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

(h)            Parent’s and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 6.7 shall continue in full force and effect for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time; provided, however, that if any Proceeding relating to any acts or omissions covered under this Section 6.7 (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) is brought against an Indemnitee on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time subject to applicable statutes of limitations, the provisions of this Section 6.7 (other than Section 6.7(c)) shall continue in effect until the full and final resolution of such Proceedings.

SECTION 6.8.       Notification of Certain Matters. Unless prohibited by applicable Law, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent and Merger Sub shall give prompt notice to the Company, upon receiving Knowledge of (a) any notice, complaint, investigation, hearing (or communications indicating that the same may be contemplated) or other communication received by such Party or its Subsidiaries from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the Transactions, (b) any written notice of or communication from any Person (other than a Governmental Authority) alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other Transactions, (c) any Proceedings commenced or, to such Party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting any members of such Party’s board of directors which relates to this Agreement or the Transactions (such Proceedings, “Transaction Litigation”), or (d) any material change, effect, development or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a failure of a condition precedent in Section 7.3 (in the case of the Company) and Section 7.2 (in the case of Parent or Merger Sub); provided, however, that no notification pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties herein (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.8, in the event of any conflict with any covenant or agreement contained in Section 6.3 that expressly addresses the subject matter of this Section 6.8, Section 6.3 shall govern and control.

SECTION 6.9.       Employee Matters.

(a)            For a period of one (1) year following the Merger Closing Date, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to each employee of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries who continues to be employed after the Effective Time with Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) (i) the same base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, as provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Merger Closing Date, (ii) a target annual cash bonus opportunity that is no less favorable than the target annual cash bonus opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Merger Closing Date, (iii) an equity and long-term incentive opportunity no less favorable than the equity and long-term incentive opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Merger Closing Date (excluding any one-off or non-recurring equity or long-term incentive program or award), (iv) severance benefits no less favorable than the greater of (A) the severance benefits that would have been provided to such Continuing Employee prior to the Merger Closing Date and (B) the severance benefits maintained for similarly situated employees of Parent at the time of such Continuing Employee’s termination of employment, and (v) employee benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to employee benefits (excluding base salary or wage rates, annual cash bonus opportunities, equity and any one-time or non-recurring payments or benefits, defined benefit plans and retiree medical benefits) provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Merger Closing Date or to a similarly-situated employee of Parent, as determined in Parent’s discretion.

(b)            From and after the Merger Closing Date, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Continuing Employees to be granted credit for any service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries earned prior to the Merger Closing Date for eligibility and vesting purposes and for purposes of vacation accrual and severance benefits under the benefit and compensation plans or arrangements of Parent and its Affiliates, as applicable, in which Continuing Employees are eligible to participate pursuant to the terms of such plans or arrangements, except as would result in a duplication of benefits or for purposes of any frozen or discontinued plans (or frozen or discontinued portions of plans) or to the extent that such service credit was not recognized under a similar Company Benefit Plan. In addition, under any group health plan maintained by Parent or its affiliates in which Continuing Employees (and their eligible dependents) will be eligible to participate from and after the Merger Closing Date, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause to be waived all preexisting condition exclusions and actively at work requirements, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements to the extent waived or satisfied by any Continuing Employee (or dependent) as of the Merger Closing Date and (ii) cause any deductible, co-insurance and covered out-of-pocket expenses paid on or before the Merger Closing Date by any Continuing Employee (or covered dependent thereof) in respect of the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Merger Closing Date under any such welfare plan.

(c)            With respect to each Company Performance Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall be permitted, following the Merger Closing, to convert such award into an award on the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Performance Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to vesting, timing and form of payment) and adjust the performance-based vesting conditions to the extent necessary to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as determined by Parent in its reasonable discretion, and with the same target value, except such award shall, to the extent it would have been payable in the form of Company Restricted Stock Units, be payable in the form of cash or restricted stock units with respect to Parent Common Stock.

(d)            Xxxxxx agrees to take such actions as provided for under Section 6.9(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(e)            Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to (i) be treated as an amendment of any particular Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, (ii) prevent Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates from amending or terminating any of their benefit plans or, after the Merger Closing, any Company Benefit Plan in accordance with their terms, (iii) prevent Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, after the Merger Closing, from terminating the employment of any Continuing Employee or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Continuing Employee, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or under any benefit plan which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may maintain.

The provisions of the initial press release(s) announcing the execution of this Agreement that relate to the Transactions or the Company shall be a joint press release in a form mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Company (and, in the case of the Company, including the Special Committee).

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

SECTION 8.1.       Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval is obtained (except as otherwise expressly noted), as follows:

(b)            by either Parent or the Company, if:

(i)            the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before 5:00 p.m. (Las Vegas time) on February 8, 2024 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to either Party if it has materially breached or violated any of its covenants, agreements or other obligations hereunder and such material breach or violation has been the principal cause of or directly resulted in (1) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the terminating Party to consummate the Merger set forth in Article VII prior to the Termination Date or (2) the failure of the Merger Closing to occur by the Termination Date; or

(ii)            any Restraint shall be in effect enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, and such Restraint shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the Party seeking the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall have complied with its obligations under Section 6.4 with respect to such Restraint; and provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a Party if the issuance of such final, non-appealable Restraint was primarily due to the failure of such Party, and in the case of Parent, including the failure of Merger Sub, to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(c)            by the Company, if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (x) would give rise to a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) and (y) (A) is not capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date or (B) is not cured by Parent or Merger Sub on or before the earlier of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date that is thirty (30) days following the receipt by Parent of written notice from the Company of such breach or failure; provided, however, that the Company shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if the Company is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) could not then be satisfied;

(d)            by Parent, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (x) would give rise to the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) and (y) (A) is not capable of being cured prior to the Termination Date or (B) is not cured by the Company on or before the earlier of (i) the Termination Date and (ii) the date that is sixty (60) days following the receipt by the Company of written notice from Parent of such breach or failure; provided, however, that Parent shall not have a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if Parent or Merger Sub is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) could not then be satisfied; or

(e)            by the Company, if the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained, including, for the avoidance of doubt, if the Principal Company Stockholders do not deliver the Stockholder Written Consent on or prior to the Stockholder Written Consent Delivery Date.

SECTION 8.2.       Effect of Termination. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and the basis therefor described in reasonable detail, and, except as set forth in this Section 8.2 and Section 8.5, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and of no effect without liability on the part of any Party (or any of its Representatives), and all rights and obligations of any Party shall cease; provided that if (x) such termination resulted, directly or indirectly, from the Intentional Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or (y) the Intentional Breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein shall cause the Merger Closing not to occur, then, notwithstanding such termination, such breaching Party shall be fully liable for any and all direct damages, costs, expenses (including pursuant to Section 9.13), liabilities or other losses of any kind, in each case, incurred or suffered by the other Party as a result of such failure or breach; provided, further that the provisions of Section 4.8 (Brokers), Article I (Definitions), Article VIII (Termination, Amendment and Waiver) and Article IX (General Provisions) shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1.

SECTION 8.3.       Amendment. At any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the Parties by action taken by or on behalf of their respective boards of directors (or in the case of the Company, only if such action by the Company Board has been recommended by the Special Committee) at any time before or after receipt of the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall not be any amendment that by Law requires further approval by the Company Stockholders without such further approval of the Company Stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties.

SECTION 8.4.       Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, subject to applicable Law, Parent and the Company may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the other Party, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained herein (it being understood that Parent and Merger Sub shall be deemed a single party for purposes of the foregoing proviso); provided, however, that the Company Board shall not take or authorize any such extension or waiver unless it has been recommended by the Special Committee; provided, further, that after the Requisite Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall not be any waiver or extension that by Law requires further approval by the Company Stockholders without such further approval of the Company Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

SECTION 8.5.       Expenses. Except as expressly set forth herein (including Section 8.2 and Section 9.13), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses; provided, that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) (to the extent such termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b) results from a breach of this Agreement by Parent or its Subsidiaries), Section 8.1(c) or Section 8.1(e), all fees and expenses incurred by the Company (including for the avoidance of doubt, fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Special Committee) in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions shall be borne by Parent.

and, except as set forth above, such notice shall be deemed to have been delivered as of the date so telecommunicated, personally delivered or received. Any Party may notify any other Party of any changes to the address or any of the other details specified in this paragraph; provided, however, that such notification shall only be effective on the date specified in such notice or two (2) Business Days after the notice is given, whichever is later. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of a changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.

SECTION 9.3.       Interpretation; Certain Definitions.

(a)            The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(b)            The inclusion of any item in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of materiality of such item, nor shall it establish any standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever. No disclosure in the Company Disclosure Letter or Parent Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation of any contract or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication with respect to any third party that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.

(c)            When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Schedule or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of, or an Schedule or Exhibit to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings for this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereby”, “hereto”, and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole, including all Exhibits and Schedules, and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.

(d)            All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term.

(e)            Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such Law as from time to time amended, re-enacted, consolidated, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor Laws and the related rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and published interpretations thereof; provided that for purposes of any representations and warranties contained in this Agreement that are made as of a specific date or dates, references to any Law shall be deemed to refer to such Law, as amended, and to any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder, in each case, as of such date. References to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns.

(f)            The words “made available” or words of similar import refer to documents (x) with respect to documents “made available” by the Company or Parent, posted prior to the date of this Agreement to an electronic data room established for purposes of the Transactions and maintained by the Company or Parent, as applicable, or (y) delivered in Person or electronically to the Company or Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, or any of their respective Representatives. The specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in Article IV or Article V is not intended to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, are or are not material for purposes of this Agreement, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount in any dispute or controversy between or among the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. The phrases “the date of this Agreement” and “the date hereof” and terms or phrases of similar import shall be deemed to refer to August 8, 2023, unless the context requires otherwise. When used in reference to the Company or its Subsidiaries, the term “material” shall be measured against the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. References to “$” or “dollars” in this Agreement shall mean United States dollars. Words describing the singular number shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, words denoting any gender shall be deemed to include all genders and words denoting natural Persons shall be deemed to include business entities and vice versa. The term “beneficial ownership” has the meaning ascribed to such term in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the terms “beneficially own”, “beneficially owned” and “beneficial owner” each have a correlative meaning. The words “ordinary course of business” or “consistent with past practice”, when used in this Agreement, shall be deemed to include actions taken in good faith by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company in response to COVID-19 or COVID-19 Measures, taking into account actions taken by other similarly situated companies in response thereto.

(g)            Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of Parent and the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires Merger Sub to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause Merger Sub to take such action.

SECTION 9.4.       Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any present or future Law, or public policy, (a) such term or other provision shall be fully separable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or other provision or by its severance herefrom 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 that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions are fulfilled as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

SECTION 9.5.       Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Subject to the proceeding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

SECTION 9.6.       Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and other documents delivered pursuant hereto) constitutes, together with the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement, the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties and their Affiliates, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 9.7.       No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except for from and after the Effective Time (a) the rights of holders of Company Class A Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(i), (b) the rights of holders of Company Performance Restricted Stock Units or Company Restricted Stock Units to receive the payment that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.4 and (c) the provisions of Section 6.7 (which shall be enforceable by the Indemnitees). The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 8.4 without notice or liability to any other Person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the Knowledge of any of the Parties.

SECTION 9.8.       Governing Law. This Agreement and all actions, proceedings or counterclaims (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the actions of any Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of laws provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York (except that the provisions of the Laws of the State of Nevada shall govern (i) the fiduciary duties of the Company Board, the Special Committee, the Parent Board, and the officers, employees and agents of the Parties and (ii) to the extent such Laws are otherwise mandatorily applicable to the Agreement, the Merger (including the consummation and other effects thereof) and the other Transactions).

SECTION 9.9.       Specific Performance.

(a)            The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.9, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall be entitled, without posting a bond or other indemnity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

(b)            Each Party hereby agrees not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by such Party, and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such Party under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.9. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such order or injunction all in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.9. The Parties further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.9, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 9.9 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 9.9 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.9 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII, nor shall the commencement of any legal proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.9 or anything set forth in this Section 9.9 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

(c)            If, prior to the Termination Date, any Party brings any Proceeding, in each case, in accordance with this Section 9.9, to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other Party, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended (x) for the period during which such action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (y) by such other time period established by the court presiding over such Proceeding, as the case may be.

SECTION 9.10.     Consent to Jurisdiction.

(a)            Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, for the purpose of any Proceeding (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the actions of any Party in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect to such Proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in the federal and state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York.

(b)            Each of the Parties (a) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the Transactions, on behalf of itself or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party, and nothing in this Section 9.10 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law, (b) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the Transactions, (c) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (d) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York (or if (but only if) the federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, shall be unavailable, the state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York). Each Party agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law; provided, however, that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any Party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, a final trial court judgment. The consents to jurisdiction and venue set forth in this Section 9.10 shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.12.
