(b) As promptly as practicable following the date hereof, to the extent reasonably agreed by Tempo and FTAC, Tempo and FTAC will cooperate to take such actions as may be necessary to facilitate the delivery of Closing Seller Equity Consideration, Tempo Earnout Consideration and Forfeiture Reallocation Shares to any current or former Tempo employee in a manner compliant with applicable Law.
- 82 -
Section 8.06 Termination of Affiliate Transactions. Prior to the Closing, except for this Agreement and any other Transaction Agreements, Tempo and the Tempo Blockers shall take, and cause to be taken, all actions necessary to cause all Tempo Related Party Transactions and all Blocker Related Party Transactions to be terminated as of or prior to the Closing without any further cost or Liability to the Company or its Subsidiaries following the Closing, other than any commercial Contracts entered into in the ordinary course of Tempo’s business with portfolio companies of Blackstone, Platinum Falcon, GIC or New Mountain on commercially reasonable, arms’ length terms or as set forth on Schedule 8.06 of the Tempo Schedules.
Section 8.07 280G Approval. To the extent that any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) has the right to receive any payments or benefits that could be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A) of the Code and the regulations thereunder), then, prior to the Closing Date, Tempo will (i) solicit and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each such “disqualified individual” a waiver of such disqualified individual’s rights to some or all of such payments or benefits (the “Waived 280G Benefits”) so that any remaining payments and/or benefits shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and the regulations thereunder), and (ii) with respect to each individual who agrees to and executes the waiver described in clause (i), submit to a vote of the holders of the equity interests of Tempo entitled to vote on such matters, in the manner required under Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, the right of any such “disqualified individual” to receive the Waived 280G Benefits. Prior to, and in no event later than five (5) days prior to soliciting such waivers and approval, Tempo shall provide drafts of such waivers and approval materials and the related calculations necessary to effectuate the equityholder approval process to FTAC for its review and reasonable commentary, and Tempo shall reflect in such waivers and approval materials any changes reasonably requested by FTAC. Prior to the Closing, Tempo shall deliver to FTAC evidence that a vote of the holders of the equity interests of Tempo was solicited in accordance with the foregoing and whether the requisite number of votes of the holders of the equity interests of Tempo was obtained with respect to the Waived 280G Benefits. If any of the Waived 280G Benefits fail to be approved, such Waived 280G Benefits shall not be paid or retained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any contract, arrangement, agreement or plan is entered into by FTAC, or any of its Affiliates, and a “disqualified individual” in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement before the Closing Date (the “FTAC Arrangements”), FTAC shall cooperate with Tempo in good faith in order to calculate or determine the value (for purposes of Section 280G of the Code) of any payments or benefits granted or contemplated therein, which may be paid or granted in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that could constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code; provided, that neither Tempo nor any of its Affiliates will be deemed to be in breach of the covenants set forth in this Section 8.07 if the process set forth herein is ultimately determined to be invalid, if such invalidation is due to any inaccuracy or incompleteness in any respect of any such amounts and/or information provided by FTAC with respect to the FTAC Arrangements.

(a) From and after the Tempo Effective Time and FTAC Effective Time, as applicable, the Company agrees that (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law) it shall indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director, manager and officer of Tempo, the Tempo Blockers and FTAC and each of their respective Subsidiaries against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or Liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Tempo Effective Time or FTAC Effective Time, as applicable, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after such
- 83 -

(b) For a period of six years from the Closing, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to, maintain in effect directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering those Persons who are currently covered by FTAC’s, a Tempo Blocker’s, Tempo’s or any of their respective Subsidiaries’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (true, correct and complete copies of which have been heretofore made available to Tempo or FTAC, as applicable, or their respective agents or representatives) on terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage, except that in no event shall the Company or its Subsidiaries be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 225% of the aggregate annual premium payable by the Tempo Blockers, Tempo and its Subsidiaries and FTAC and its Subsidiaries for such insurance policy for the year ended December 31, 2020; provided, however, that the Tempo Blockers, Tempo and FTAC may, in the alternative, cause coverage to be extended under such Tempo Blocker’s, Tempo’s or FTAC’s, as applicable, current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy containing terms not less favorable than the terms of such current insurance coverage with respect to claims existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing (the “D&O Tail”), except that in no event shall the Company or its Subsidiaries be required to pay an annual premium for such insurance in excess of 225% of the aggregate annual premium payable by such Tempo Blocker, Tempo and its Subsidiaries or FTAC and its Subsidiaries, as applicable, for such current insurance.

The Parties hereby agree, following the Closing, (i) that the Company, FTAC, the Tempo Blockers, Tempo and their respective Subsidiaries are the indemnitors of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the indemnified Persons under this Section 9.01 are primary and any obligation of any Indemnitee Affiliate to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or Liabilities incurred by the indemnified Persons under this Section 9.01 are secondary), (ii) that the Company, FTAC, Tempo and their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to advance the full amount of expenses incurred by the indemnified Persons under this Section 9.01 and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and required by the Company’s, FTAC’s, such Tempo Blocker’s or Tempo’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ governing documents or any director or officer indemnification agreements, without regard to any rights the indemnified Persons under this Section 9.01 may have against any Indemnitee Affiliate, and (iii) that the Parties (on behalf of themselves and their respective Subsidiaries) irrevocably waive, relinquish and release the Indemnitee Affiliates from any and all claims against the Indemnitee Affiliates for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.
- 84 -
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 9.01 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers indefinitely and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on the Company, the FTAC Surviving Corporation, the Blocker Surviving Entities and the Tempo Surviving Entity, and all successors and assigns of the Company, the FTAC Surviving Corporation, the Blocker Surviving Entities and the Tempo Surviving Entity. In the event that the Company, the FTAC Surviving Corporation, any Blocker Surviving Entity or the Tempo Surviving Entity or any of their respective 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 substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company, the FTAC Surviving Corporation or the Tempo Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 9.01.

(a) The Company shall pay all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added or other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”) and file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, the Parties shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other document.

(b) For U.S. federal income tax purposes (and for purposes of any applicable state or local income tax that follows U.S. federal income tax treatment), each of the Parties intends that (i) the Founder FTAC Warrant Recapitalization will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, (ii) the FTAC Merger, the Management Holder Contribution and the Tempo Investor Contribution will each be treated as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, (iii) the Blocker Mergers will each qualify either as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, (iv) the Founder LLC Contribution will be treated as a transaction governed by Section 721 of the Code, (v) in connection with the Tempo Merger, (A) the acquisition of interests in Tempo from the Continuing Tempo Unitholders by FTAC for the Closing Cash Consideration as set forth in the Allocation Schedule (the “Cash Sale”) will be treated as a transaction described in Section 741 of the Code giving rise to an adjustment to FTAC’s basis in the direct and indirect assets of Tempo pursuant to Section 743 of the Code and (B) the contribution of cash by FTAC to Tempo as contemplated by Section 2.10 will be treated as an acquisition of an interest in Tempo by FTAC in a transaction governed by Section 721 of the Code and (vi) the payments and contribution of the Available Cash Amount contemplated by Section 4.02 will be treated as an acquisition of an interest in Tempo by the Company in a transaction governed by Section 721 of the Code (clauses (i) through (vi), together, the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

All Tax Contests for any taxable periods initiated or continuing after the Closing Date shall be controlled in accordance with the terms of the Tempo Operating Agreement.
(i) After the Closing, the Company (and its Subsidiaries) will not, without the consent of the Unitholder Representative (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (I) amend or otherwise modify any Pass-Through Return, (II) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any Pass-Through Income Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) or audit of any Pass-Through Return, or (III) make or change any income election or accounting method or practice with respect to Pass-Through Income Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods (other than the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) or Pass-Through Returns.

The Allocation, as mutually agreed or as finally determined by such accounting firm, shall be final and binding.
(k) Each Party and the Unitholder Representative shall reasonably cooperate (and cause its Affiliates to reasonably cooperate), as and to the extent reasonably requested by each other Party and the Unitholder Representative, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns or any Tax Contest.

(c) prior to the Closing, by written notice to FTAC from Tempo if (i) there is any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the FTAC Parties set forth in this Agreement, such that the conditions specified in Section 11.03(a) or Section 11.03(b) would not be satisfied at the Closing (a “Terminating FTAC Breach”), except that, if any such Terminating FTAC Breach is curable by the FTAC Parties through the exercise of their commercially reasonable efforts, then, for a period of up to 30 days (or any shorter period of the time that remains between the date Tempo provides written notice of such violation or breach and the Termination Date or Extended Termination Date, as applicable) after receipt by FTAC of notice from Tempo of such breach, but only as long as the FTAC Parties continue to exercise such commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Terminating FTAC Breach (the “FTAC Cure Period”), such termination shall not be effective, and such termination shall become effective only if the Terminating FTAC Breach is not cured within FTAC Cure Period, (ii) the Closing has not occurred on or before the Termination Date, or (iii) the consummation of the Merger is permanently enjoined or prohibited by the terms of a final, non-appealable Governmental Order or a statute, rule or regulation; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under subsection (i), (ii) or (iii) shall not be available if Tempo’s or any Tempo Blocker’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the primary cause of, or primarily resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date;
(d) by written notice from either Tempo or FTAC to the other if the Required FTAC Stockholder Approvals are not obtained at the Special Meeting (subject to any adjournment, postponement or recess of the meeting); provided, that, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 12.01(d) shall not be available to FTAC if, at the time of such termination, FTAC is in breach of Section 10.03; or

- 113 -
Section 13.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement), the other Transaction Agreements and that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of August 20, 2020, by and between Tempo and FTAC (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), constitute the entire agreement among the Parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement exist between the Parties except as expressly set forth or referenced in this Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 13.10 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. The approval of this Agreement by the members or equityholders of any of the Parties shall not restrict the ability of the board of directors (or other body or entity performing similar functions) of any of the Parties to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.01 or, subject to applicable Law, including the DGCL, to cause such Party to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.10.
Section 13.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The Parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the Parties.
Section 13.12 Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be brought in federal and state courts located in the State of Delaware, and each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any Party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other Party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 13.12. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
Section 13.13 Enforcement. 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 their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or any Transaction Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would
- 114 -
have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement in accordance with this Section 13.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, FTAC acknowledges and agrees that Tempo may, without breach of this Agreement, with respect to any Transaction Agreement to which Tempo is a party, institute or pursue an Action directly against the counterparty(ies) to such Transaction Agreement seeking, or seek or obtain a court order against the counterparty(ies) to such Transaction Agreement for, injunctive relief, specific performance, or other equitable relief with respect to such Transaction Agreement.
Section 13.14 Non-Recourse. Subject in all respects to the last sentence of this Section 13.14, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. Except to the extent a Party hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such Party in this Agreement), (a) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any Party and (b) no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, advisor or representative or Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have any Liability (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of any one or more of Tempo, the Tempo Blockers or the FTAC Parties under this Agreement of or for any claim based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

None of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements and other provisions, shall survive the Closing and instead shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no liability after the Closing in respect thereof), except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing (including, for the avoidance of doubt Section 10.05(b)) and (b) this Article XIII.

FTAC; (iv) the Tempo Blocker Representations constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Tempo Blockers; (v) except for the Tempo Representations by Tempo, the FTAC Representations by the FTAC Parties and the Tempo Blocker Representations by the Tempo Blockers, none of the Parties or any other Person makes, or has made, any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of the such Party or its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including (x) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to any Party or their respective Affiliates or Representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), and (y) any relating to the future or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of any Party (or its Subsidiaries), or the quality, quantity or condition of any Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by all Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and all other Persons (including the Representatives and Affiliates of any Party or its Subsidiaries); and (vi) each Party and its respective Affiliates are not relying on any representations and warranties in connection with the Transactions except the Tempo Representations by Tempo, the FTAC Representations by the FTAC Parties and the Tempo Blocker Representations by the Tempo Blockers. The foregoing does not limit any rights of any Party pursuant to any other Transaction Agreement against any other Party pursuant to such Transaction Agreement to which it is a party or an express third party beneficiary thereof. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, FTAC understands and agrees that any assets, properties and business of Tempo and its Subsidiaries are furnished “as is”, “where is” and subject to and except for the Tempo Representations by Tempo or as provided in any certificate delivered in accordance with Section 11.02(c), with all faults and without any other representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever.
(b) Effective upon Closing, each of the Parties waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and Representatives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, Actions and causes of action it may have against any other Party or their respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former Affiliates or Representatives relating to the operation of any Party or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Schedules, or the Exhibits to this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Action, suit, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 13.16. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing in this Section 13.16(b) shall preclude any Party from seeking any remedy for actual and intentional fraud by a Party solely and exclusively with respect to the making of any representation or warranty by it in Article V, Article VI or Article VII (as applicable). Each Party shall have the right to enforce this Section 13.16 on behalf of any Person that would be benefitted or protected by this Section 13.16 if they were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13.16 shall limit, modify, restrict or operate as a waiver with respect to, any rights any Party may have under any written agreement entered into in connection with the transactions that are contemplated by this Agreement, including any other Transaction Agreement.

Section 13.18 Provisions Respecting Representation of Tempo. Each of the Parties hereby, on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, managers, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates, recognizes that Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP and Dechert LLP (collectively, “Counsel”) has served and may serve as counsel to some or all of Tempo and/or the Tempo Blockers, on the one hand, and the Tempo Blocker Owners and their respective Affiliates (individually and collectively, the “Seller Group”), on the other hand, in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and agrees that, following consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Counsel (or any of their respective successors) may serve as counsel to any member of the Seller Group or any director, manager, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of any member of the Seller Group, in connection with any Action or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such representation or any continued representation of Tempo, the Tempo Blockers and/or any of their Subsidiaries, and each of the Parties (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each of such parties shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to irrevocably waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. The Parties agree to take the steps necessary to ensure that any privilege attaching as a result of Counsel representing Tempo or any of its Subsidiaries or either of the Tempo Blockers or any of the Tempo Blocker Owners in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect, provided that with respect to any Privileged Communications such privilege from and after the Closing shall be controlled by (i) the Unitholder Representative on behalf of Tempo and its Affiliates, (ii) GIC and Platinum Falcon together on behalf of the Tempo Blockers and (iii) the applicable Tempo Blocker Owner on behalf of any Tempo Blocker Owner. As to any privileged attorney-client communications prior to the Closing between (x) Counsel and Tempo or Counsel and any of Tempo’s Subsidiaries, (y) Counsel and the Tempo Blockers or (z) Counsel and any Tempo Blocker Owner or its respective Affiliates, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement prior to the Closing Date (collectively, the “Privileged Communications”), FTAC, Tempo and each of its Subsidiaries, and the Tempo Blockers together with any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns, agree that no such party may use or rely on any of the Privileged Communications in any action against or involving any of the parties after the Closing. In addition, if the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, all Privileged Communications related to such transactions will become the property of (and be controlled by) (A) the Unitholder Representative on behalf of Tempo’s direct or indirect equityholders prior to the Closing in the case of clause (x) above, (B) GIC and Platinum Falcon on behalf of the Tempo Blockers in the case of clause (y) above, and (C) the applicable Tempo Blocker Owner in the case of clause (z) above, and none of FTAC, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates, Subsidiaries, successors or assigns shall take any action based on any copies of such records or intentionally access them, subject to the following sentence. In the event that the Company is legally required or requested by any Governmental Authority to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the Privileged Communications, the Company shall be entitled to access or obtain a copy of and disclose the Privileged Communications to the extent necessary to comply with any such legal requirement or request; provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Unitholder Representative, GIC, Platinum Falcon or the applicable Tempo Blocker Owner in writing (prior to the disclosure by the Company of any Privileged Communications to the extent practicable) so that the Unitholder Representative, GIC, Platinum Falcon or the applicable Tempo Blocker Owner, as the case may be, can seek a protective order, at its sole cost and expense (it being agreed that in no event shall any of the foregoing Persons be required to commence or pursue any litigation), and the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist therewith.
