The Accounting Firm shall be directed to determine as promptly as reasonably practicable whether the Closing Cash, the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness, the Closing Seller Expenses and/or the Shortfall Amount or the Surplus Amount, as applicable, as set forth in the Closing Statement requires adjustment. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed that, in making such determination, it may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party hereto or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party hereto, and that the Accounting Firm is only to consider matters still in dispute between Parent and the Stockholder Representative. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholder Representative shall each furnish to the Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the Disputed Line Items, and shall provide interviews and answer questions, as such Accounting Firm may reasonably request. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto and shall be based solely on the terms of this Agreement) and the written submissions by Parent and the Stockholder Representative and not by independent review.

(C)    The costs and expenses for the services of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Surviving Corporation, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), on the other hand, in inverse relation to their success with respect to any disputes submitted to the Accounting

Firm for resolution. Subject to the foregoing sentence, each party shall be responsible for its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.03(b).

(D)    After the Closing Cash, the Closing Net Working Capital, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Seller Expenses have been finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.03(b)(ii), the Cash Merger Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

(1)    If the Closing Cash is less than the Estimated Closing Cash, the Cash Merger Consideration shall be decreased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Estimated Closing Cash exceeds the Closing Cash. If the Closing Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash, the Cash Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Closing Cash exceeds the Estimated Closing Cash.

(2)    If the Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, the Cash Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Closing Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital.

(3)    If the Closing Indebtedness is less than the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, the Cash Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Closing Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Closing Indebtedness. If the Closing Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Closing Indebtedness, the Cash Merger Consideration shall be decreased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Closing Indebtedness exceeds the Estimated Closing Indebtedness.

(4)    If the Closing Seller Expenses are less than the Estimated Closing Seller Expenses, the Cash Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Closing Seller Expenses exceeds the Estimated Closing Seller Expenses. If the Closing Seller Expenses exceed the Estimated Closing Seller Expenses, the Cash Merger Consideration shall be decreased by an amount equal to the amount by which the Closing Seller Expenses exceeds the Estimated Closing Seller Expenses.

(E)    The Parties shall aggregate and net any adjustments to the Cash Merger Consideration pursuant to Sections 2.03(b)(ii)(D)(1), (2), (3), and (4) and make payment as follows:

(1)    if such adjustments result in an aggregate increase of the Cash Merger Consideration (the amount of such increase, the “Shortfall Amount”), then the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, pay an amount in cash equal to such the Shortfall Amount to the Exchange Agent or Surviving Corporation, as applicable (for further distribution to the Sellers on a pro rata basis based on their respective Pro Rata Shares in accordance with Section 2.06); or

(2)    if such adjustments result in an aggregate decrease of the Cash Merger Consideration (the amount of such decrease, the “Surplus Amount”), then an amount equal to the Surplus Amount shall be deducted from the Remaining Tax Benefit Amount payable by Parent pursuant to Section 12.03, provided, that, to the extent the Surplus Amount exceeds the Remaining Tax Benefit Amount, each of the Sellers, on a several, but not joint basis, shall pay to the Surviving Corporation an amount equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such excess amount;

provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to pay the Shortfall Amount, if payable, and in no event shall the Surplus Amount be deducted from the Remaining Tax Benefit Amount, if deductible, or the Sellers be required to pay their respective Pro Rata Share of the Surplus Amount, if payable, if in either case the Shortfall Amount or the Surplus Amount, as applicable, is less than $1,000,000 (the “Adjustment Basket”), but if the Shortfall Amount or the Surplus Amount, as applicable, is greater than the Adjustment Basket, then, in the case of the Shortfall Amount, the Surviving Corporation shall have to pay the entire amount of such adjustment from dollar one and, in the case of the Shortfall Amount, the entire amount of the such adjustment from dollar one shall have to be deducted from Remaining Tax Benefit Amount and, as applicable, paid by the Sellers (based on their Pro Rata Share).

(G)    Payments pursuant to this Section 2.03(b)(ii) shall be treated for all purposes as adjustments to the Cash Merger Consideration.

with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto and cash in lieu of fractional shares issued in consideration therefor) or the applicable amount of the Per Share Cash Amount upon the surrender of such Old Certificates in accordance with Section 2.09(d), without any interest thereon.

Section 2.09    Exchange of Shares.

(a)    Proration.

(i)    Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, the total number of Outstanding Common Shares to be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount shall be equal to the quotient (rounded down to the nearest whole share) of (x) the difference of (1) the Estimated Cash Merger Consideration, minus (2) the Escrow Amount, minus (3) the Remaining Tax Benefit Amount, minus (4) the aggregate amount of the Option Settlement Payments, divided by (y) the Estimated Per Share Cash Amount (the “Cash Conversion Number”). All other Outstanding Common Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Simon Shareholders (individually or collectively) be entitled to receive, as Merger Consideration hereunder, an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock that exceeds the number of shares equal to (A) $100,000,000, divided by (B) the Parent Stock Price (the “Simon Stock Consideration Limitation”).

(ii)    Promptly (and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days) after the Effective Time (such period of time being the “Allocation Period”), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to effect the allocation among holders of Outstanding Common Shares of rights to receive (x) the Per Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount and/or (y) the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount, as follows:

(A)    If the aggregate number of Cash Election Shares (the “Aggregate Cash Election Number”) exceeds the Cash Conversion Number, then:

(1)    each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount,

(2)    each Non-Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount, and

(3)    each Cash Election Share of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount in respect of that number of Cash Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Cash Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Cash Conversion Number and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Cash Election Number (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.09(a), whether fractions of Cash Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with each remaining Cash Election Share of such holder being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount.

(B)    If the Aggregate Cash Election Number is equal to the Cash Conversion Number, then:

(1)    each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount,

(2)    each Non-Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount, and

(3)    each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount.

(C)    If the Aggregate Cash Election Number is less than the Cash Conversion Number (the amount by which the Cash Conversion Number exceeds the Aggregate Cash Election Number being referred to herein as the “Cash Election Shortfall Number”), then:

(1)    If the Cash Election Shortfall Number is less than or equal to the aggregate number of Non-Election Shares (the “Aggregate Non-Election Number”), then

(a)         each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount,

(b)         each Stock Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount, and

(c)         each Non-Election Share of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Per

Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount in respect of that number of Non-Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Non-Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Cash Election Shortfall Number and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Non-Election Number (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.09(a), whether fractions of Non-Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with each remaining Non-Election Share of such holder being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount; or

(2)    If the Cash Election Shortfall Number exceeds the Aggregate Non-Election Number, then:

(a)         each Cash Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount,     

(b)         each Non-Election Share shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount, and

(c)         each Stock Election Share of each holder thereof shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount in respect of that number of Stock Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares held by such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Cash Election Shortfall Number exceeds the Aggregate Non-Election Number and the denominator of which is the total number of Stock Election Shares (with the Exchange Agent to determine, consistent with Section 2.09(a), whether fractions of Stock Election Shares shall be rounded up or down), with each remaining Stock Election Share of such holder being converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount.

(b)    Election Procedures. Each holder of record of shares of Company Stock to be converted into the right to receive (x) the Per Share Cash Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount, or (y) the Per Share Stock Amount and the Per Share Contingent Amount, in accordance with, and subject to, Sections 2.02(a) and 2.09(a) (a “Holder”), shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 2.09, to submit an election in accordance with the following procedures:

(i)    Parent shall prepare a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, including appropriate and customary transmittal material in such form as prepared by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Form of Election”), so as to permit Holders to exercise their right to make an Election prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline. A Form of Election shall be delivered or mailed to each Holder in accordance with the procedures specified in Section 2.09(d)(i)(A).

(ii)    Each Holder may specify on the Form of Election in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.09(b) and the instructions on such Form of Election (herein called an “Election”), (A) the number of shares of Company Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Stock Election and (B) the number of shares of Company Stock owned by such Holder with respect to which such Holder desires to make a Cash Election. Any Holder who makes an Election shall be required to waive all appraisal rights in connection with the Outstanding Common Shares subject to such Election.

(iii)    Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline, a completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, which shall include a duly executed Lock-Up and Investment Representation Letter and a properly completed and duly executed Form of Election, as specified in Section 2.09(d)(i)(A).

(iv)    Any Holder may, at any time prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline, change or revoke such Holder’s Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline accompanied by a properly completed and duly executed revised Form of Election, or by written withdrawal prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline of such Holder’s Old Certificates (if applicable), or any documents in respect of shares of Company Stock in book-entry form, previously deposited with the Exchange Agent. After an Election is validly made with respect to any shares of Company Stock, any subsequent transfer of such shares of Company Stock shall automatically revoke such Election. The Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion (including taking into account the Simon Stock Consideration Limitation) to determine if any Election is not properly made with respect to any shares of Company Stock (none of Parent, the Company nor the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any Holder of such defect). In the event that the Exchange Agent makes such a determination, such Election shall be deemed to be not in effect, and the shares of Company Stock covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Non-Election Shares, unless a proper Election is thereafter timely made with respect to such shares of Company Stock.

(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: (A) any and all Elections made by any Simon Shareholder that would result in the Simon Shareholders (individually or collectively) electing to receive, as Merger Consideration hereunder, an aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock in excess of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock permitted under the Simon Stock Consideration Limitation shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of any such Elections; and (B) all Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt

by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the parties that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

(vi)    Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Form of Election, Parent, in the exercise of its reasonable, good faith discretion (including taking into account the Simon Stock Consideration Limitation), shall have the right to make all determinations, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing (A) the validity of the Forms of Election and compliance by any Holder with the Election procedures set forth herein, and (B) the method of payment of cash for each share of Company Stock converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Amount and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock.

(c)    Parent to Make Merger Consideration Available. Prior to the Closing, Parent shall appoint the Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of Old Certificates for exchange in accordance with this Article II, (i) New Certificates representing the aggregate Stock Consideration to be issued pursuant to this Article II and exchanged pursuant to Section 2.09(d)(i), and (ii) cash in an amount sufficient to pay (A) the aggregate Estimated Per Share Cash Amount with respect to Outstanding Common Shares and (B) cash in lieu of any fractional shares (such cash and New Certificates described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, provided that no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the amount of Merger Consideration payable to the holders of Old Certificates. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(d)    Exchange of Shares.

(i)    Letters of Transmittal and Payment of Merger Consideration.

(A)    Prior to the Effective Time and at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline, the Company will deliver or mail or will cause to be delivered or mailed to each holder of Company Stock, (i) the notices required in connection with having obtained the requisite consent of stockholders approving the Merger by Section 228(e) of the DGCL, including an information statement in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent describing in reasonable detail the Merger and this Agreement and including any other information required to be provided to the holders of Company Stock under Applicable Law, (ii) the notice to such holders of their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL, (iii) a letter of transmittal in a form prepared by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall include a Lock-Up and Investment Representation Letter and a Form of Election and specify that delivery shall be effected only upon proper delivery of the related Old Certificate(s) (or, for holders of uncertificated shares of Company Stock) in accordance therewith to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and (iv) instructions for use in surrendering

such shares of Company Stock and receiving the Per Share Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Stock evidenced thereby. The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to make available or otherwise deliver as promptly as possible one or more Letters of Transmittal (including one or more Lock-Up and Investment Representation Letters and one or more Forms of Election) as may be reasonably be requested from time to time by any such holder prior to the Closing Date, and shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for the Exchange Agent to perform as specified herein. Upon the surrender of each such Old Certificate, if applicable, and delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, which shall include a duly executed Lock-Up and Investment Representation Letter and a properly completed and duly executed Form of Election, to the Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Company) prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline, the Exchange Agent shall (to the extent reasonably practicable), prior to the end of the Allocation Period, pay the holder of such shares of Company Stock the Per Share Merger Consideration in consideration therefor as follows:

and such shares of Company Stock and any related Old Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Upon the surrender of each such Old Certificate, if applicable, and delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, which shall include a duly executed Lock-Up and Investment Representation Letter and a properly completed and duly executed Form of Election, to the Exchange Agent (on behalf of the Surviving Corporation) any time after the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Exchange Agent shall, no earlier than at the Closing and as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (but in any event within three (3) Business Days after the end of the Allocation Period), pay the holder of such shares of Company Stock the Per Share Merger Consideration in consideration therefor as follows:

(3)    a New Certificate representing the applicable Per Share Stock Amount to which such holder of Company Stock has the right

to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates in accordance with this Article II; and

(4)    a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds representing the amount of (I) the applicable Estimated Per Share Cash Amount which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates in accordance with this Article II, (II) any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive in respect of the surrendered Old Certificate or Old Certificates pursuant to Section 2.09(d)(v) and (III) any dividends or distributions which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.09(d)(ii),

and such shares of Company Stock and any related Old Certificate shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each such Old Certificate (except as provided in Section 2.02(b)) shall represent solely the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding, if any) relating thereto (including any cash in lieu of fractional shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant hereto and any dividends or distributions which such holder has the right to receive pursuant hereto). No interest will be paid or accrued on the Per Share Cash Amount or any cash in lieu of fractional shares payable to holders of Old Certificates.

(B)    Prior to the end of the Allocation Period, (1) Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay from the Exchange Fund to each holder of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II and who has surrendered its Old Certificates, if applicable, and delivered a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, which shall include a duly executed Lock-Up and Investment Representation Letter and a properly completed and duly executed Form of Election, prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline, the Per Share Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09(d)(ii) for each share of Company Stock held by such holder, and following the end of the Allocation Period, and (2) to the extent applicable, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay from the Exchange Fund to each other holder of one or more Old Certificates representing shares of Company Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time that have been converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article II (who has thereafter surrendered its Old Certificates, if applicable, and delivered a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, which shall include a duly executed Lock-Up and Investment Representation Letter and a properly completed and duly executed Form of Election) the Per Share Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares which the shares of Parent Common Stock represented by such

Old Certificate or Old Certificates shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement as well as any dividends or distributions to be paid pursuant to Section 2.09(d)(ii) for each share of Company Stock held by such holder, in each case in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

(C)    Prior to the Effective Time and at least fifteen (15) days prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline, the Company shall mail to each Person who is a holder of record of Vested Company Stock Options an Option Termination Agreement, and a Letter of Transmittal, together with such other materials and instructions as Parent reasonably deems necessary for use in effecting the payment of the portion of the Merger Consideration that such Person is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.05 and such holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Other Seller Payments (such materials, the “Option Surrender Forms”). In addition to the other conditions set forth in this Agreement, receipt of any Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement by a holder of record of Vested Company Stock Options is conditioned upon delivery to Parent, on or prior to the Effective Time, of duly executed Option Surrender Forms.

(ii)    No dividends or other distributions declared with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Old Certificate until such holder shall surrender such Old Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.09. After the surrender of an Old Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.09, the record holder thereof shall be entitled to receive any such dividends or other distributions, without any interest thereon, which theretofore had become payable with respect to the applicable Per Share Stock Amount which the shares of Company Stock represented by such Old Certificate have been converted into the right to receive.

(iii)    If any New Certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor is or are registered, it shall be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Old Certificate or Old Certificates so surrendered shall be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the person requesting such exchange shall pay to the Exchange Agent in advance any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a New Certificate representing shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Old Certificate or Old Certificates surrendered, or required for any other reason, or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(iv)    After the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the shares of Company Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Old Certificates representing such shares are presented for transfer to the Exchange Agent, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration, cash

in lieu of fractional shares and dividends or distributions that the holder presenting such Old Certificates is entitled to, as provided in this Section 2.09.

(v)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no New Certificates or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Old Certificates, no dividend or distribution with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent. In lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, Parent shall pay to each former stockholder of the Company who otherwise would be entitled to receive such fractional share an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying (i) the Parent Stock Price by (ii) the fraction of a share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) of Parent Common Stock which such holder would otherwise be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 2.02.

(vi)    Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation. Any former stockholders of the Company who have not theretofore complied with this Section 2.09 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of any fractional shares and any unpaid dividends and distributions on the Parent Common Stock deliverable in respect of each former share of Company Stock such stockholder holds as determined pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of shares of Company Stock for any amount delivered in good faith to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws.

(vii)    Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold, from the applicable Merger Consideration, or any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Company Stock or any former holder of Vested Company Stock Options, such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, and paid over to the appropriate governmental authority, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Company Stock or the holder of Vested Company Stock Options in respect of which the deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(viii)    In the event any Old Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Old Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in such amount as Parent may determine is reasonably necessary as

indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Old Certificate, the Exchange Agent or Parent, as applicable, will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Old Certificate the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of fractional shares deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement.

(ix)    For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that a holder of Company Stock does not deliver a duly executed Lock-Up and Investment Letter to Parent or the Company prior to the Surrender and Election Deadline or Parent reasonably believes that a holder of Company Stock is an Unaccredited Stockholder, Parent shall have no obligation to issue any Per Share Stock Amount to such holder and may, in its sole discretion, elect to pay the Per Share Stock Amount with respect to such holder solely in cash to such holder.

Section 2.10    Escrow Fund. The Escrow Amount delivered by Parent to the Escrow Agent at Closing pursuant to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement shall be held in the Escrow Account and shall serve as security for payment of certain indemnification obligations of Sellers hereunder (the “Escrow Fund”). If there are no outstanding claims for indemnification by any Indemnitees that would be payable from the Escrow Fund as of the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Termination Date”), the Escrow Fund shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement to the holders of Company Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. If there are outstanding claims for indemnification by any Indemnitees that would be payable from the Escrow Fund on the Escrow Termination Date, the Escrow Fund, less the disputed amount corresponding to each such outstanding claim, shall be distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement to the holders of Company Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective time; provided, that the remaining balance of any amounts withheld with respect to each outstanding claim shall be distributed to the holders of Company Stock as of immediately prior to the Effective Time upon resolution and final satisfaction of such outstanding claim in accordance with Article XI and the provisions of the Escrow Agreement.

of the Company to obtain any or all Landlord Estoppels or MOLs shall not constitute a failure to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 9.02(a)(i).

Section 6.05    No Impeding Actions. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement and except with respect to any Financing or Consent Solicitation (which shall be governed by Sections 8.09 and 8.10, respectively), the Company agrees that, from the date hereof to the Effective Time, it shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries not to: (a) take any action that is intended to or would reasonably be likely to result in any of the conditions to consummating the Merger becoming incapable of being satisfied or (b) take any action or fail to take any action which would, or would be reasonably likely to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of the Company to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

(c)    acquire (by merger, consolidation, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), directly or indirectly, any properties, interests or businesses, or any assets or securities in connection with the acquisition of properties, interests or businesses, if such acquisition could reasonably be expected to (i) impose any delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any Governmental Authorization or Order necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period, (ii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise, or (iii) otherwise delay or prevent the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement;

(d)    take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially interfere with Parent’s ability to have, as of the Effective Time, funds sufficient to fully fund the payment of the Cash Merger Consideration and the payment of all fees and expense of Parent and Merger Subsidiary related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

(e)    agree, authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing.

Section 7.02    Obligations of Merger Subsidiary. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Subsidiary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, as the sole stockholder of Merger Subsidiary, shall approve and adopt this Agreement (including the Merger).

Section 7.03    Indemnification and Insurance. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation hereby agrees, to do the following:

(a)    All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, rights under employment agreements and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Person who is or prior to the Effective Time becomes, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement, a present or former director, officer, employee or agent (including as a fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan) of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any indemnification agreement, employment agreement, or others agreement containing any indemnification provisions, including any employment agreements, between such Indemnified Person and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement and disclosed in Section 7.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Person.

(b)    For six years after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (jointly and severally) shall indemnify and hold harmless all Indemnified Persons to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL and any other Applicable Law in the event of any threatened or actual Proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to actions or omissions in their capacity as a director (including in a capacity as a member of any board committee), officer, employee or agent of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective predecessors occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any claim, suit, Proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law upon receipt of any undertaking required by Applicable Law by such Indemnified Person to repay such legal and other fees and expenses paid in advance if it is ultimately determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under Applicable Law), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement of or in connection with any such threatened or actual Proceeding or investigation; provided, however, the neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment without their prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any threatened or actual Proceeding or investigation for which indemnification could be sought by an

Indemnified Person hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such Proceeding or investigation or such Indemnified Person otherwise consents in writing to such settlement, compromise or consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with an Indemnified Person in the defense of any matter for which such Indemnified Person could seek indemnification hereunder.

(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, in either case at the Company’s expense, the aggregate premium (the “Aggregate Tail Premium”) for the 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, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time (including claims with respect to the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies; provided that the Company shall give Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of such “tail” insurance policy and the Company shall give good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent with respect thereto; and provided that the per annum amount of the Aggregate Tail Premium for such “tail” insurance policy shall not exceed 300% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year (such maximum amount per annum, the “Maximum Tail Premium”) and if the per annum amount of the Aggregate Tail Premium for such “tail” insurance policy exceeds the Maximum Tail Premium, then the Company shall obtain a different “tail” policy with the greatest coverage available where the per annum amount of the Aggregate Tail Premium does not exceed the Maximum Tail Premium.

(d)    If Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) 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 (ii) transfers or conveys of its property and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the applicable successor, assign or transferee shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03 (including this Section 7.03(d)).

(e)    The rights of each Indemnified Person under this Section 7.03 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Person may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under the DGCL or any other Applicable Law, under any agreement of any Indemnified Person with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise. These rights shall survive consummation of the Merger and are intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.03 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnified Person.

(f)    In the event any Indemnified Person institutes a Proceeding against Parent to enforce the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 7.03 and prevails as determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a Governmental Authority of competent

jurisdiction, then Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by such Indemnified Person in conducting such Proceeding.

Section 7.04    Employee Matters.

(a)    With respect to employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately before the Effective Time (“Company Employees”), for a period of twelve (12) months following the Closing (or, if earlier, the termination of the applicable Company Employee’s employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to such Company Employee (i) base salary or wage rate (as applicable), commission and annual incentive opportunity that are not less than the base salary or wage rate (as applicable), commission and annual incentive opportunity provided to such Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time, and (ii) benefits (excluding equity awards) that have a value that is substantially comparable in the aggregate to the benefits provided to the Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b)    Without limiting the generality of Section 7.04(a), from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, assume, honor and continue (without modification, other than any modification agreed to by the participant affected thereby) during the twelve (12) month period following the Effective Time or, if sooner, until all obligations thereunder have been satisfied, all of the Company’s employment, severance, bonus, incentive compensation, commission, change in control, retention and termination plans and agreements, in each case, as in effect at the Effective Time, including with respect to any payments, benefits or rights arising as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (either alone or in combination with any other event), in each case, to the extent the Company or any Subsidiary would have been required to perform such plans or agreements.

(c)    With respect to any employee benefit plan maintained by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates (including any vacation, paid time-off and severance plans), for all purposes, including determining eligibility to participate, level of benefits, vesting, benefit accruals and early retirement subsidies, each Company Employee’s service with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (as well as service with any predecessor employer of the Company or any such Subsidiary, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Company or such Subsidiary under the comparable Employee Benefit Plans) shall be treated as service with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates; provided, however, that such service need not be recognized for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan or to the extent that such recognition would result in any duplication of benefits.

(d)    Parent shall waive, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to waive, any pre-existing condition limitations, exclusions, actively-at-work requirements and waiting periods under any welfare benefit plan maintained by the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates in which any Company Employee (or the dependents of any eligible employee) will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time. Parent shall recognize, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates to recognize, the dollar amount of all payments incurred by each Company Employee (and his or her eligible

dependents) under any applicable Employee Benefit Plan during the calendar year in which the Effective Time occurs for purposes of satisfying such year’s deductible, co-payment limitations and out-of-pocket maximums under the relevant welfare benefit plans in which such Company Employee will be eligible to participate from and after the Effective Time.

(e)    If prior to Closing the aggregate bonus payments accrued as of the Closing Date and included in the calculation of the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital (the “Aggregate Accrued Bonus Amount”) have not been paid by the Company in accordance with the Company’s existing bonus plans as of the Closing Date (the “Existing Bonus Plans”) to the employees of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (such employees, the “Bonus Recipients”), then if the Merger is consummated, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay bonuses to the Bonus Recipients in the amounts directed in writing by the Company at or prior to Closing in an aggregate amount equal to the Aggregate Accrued Bonus Amount on or before February 28, 2018.

(f)    Nothing contained in this Section 7.04 shall be construed (i) to create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee or former employee of the Company or any Subsidiary (or any dependent or beneficiary thereof), (ii) to affect in any way any such employee’s status as an “at will” employee or provide any such employee with a right to continued employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary for any specified period, or (iii) to require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary to continue any employee benefit plan or limit in any way the ability of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary to establish, amend, modify or terminate any employee benefit plan.

Section 7.05    No Impeding Actions. Except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Agreement and except with respect to any Financing or Consent Solicitation (which shall be governed by Sections 8.09 and 8.10, respectively), each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary agrees that, from the date hereof to the Effective Time, it shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries not to: (a) take any action that is intended to or would reasonably be likely to result in any of the conditions to consummating the Merger becoming incapable of being satisfied or (b) take any action or fail to take any action which would, or would be reasonably likely to, individually or in the aggregate, prevent, materially delay or materially impede the ability of Parent or Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

Section 7.06    Rule 144.

(a)    The shares of Parent Common Stock being issued as part of the Stock Consideration are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”) and will be subject to a lock-up period of six (6) months pursuant to the Lock-Up and Investment Representation Letter with the Accredited Stockholders receiving the Stock Consideration.

(b)    With a view to making available to Accredited Stockholders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Accredited Stockholders to sell securities of Parent to the public without registration, for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to:

(i)    make and keep adequate current public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(ii)    file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Parent under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, for so long as Parent remains subject to such requirements, and the filing of such reports and other documents as is required for sales under Rule 144;

(iii)    submit electronically and post on its corporate web site, if any, every interactive data file required to be submitted and posted pursuant to Rule 405 of Regulation S-T; and

(iv)    furnish to Accredited Stockholders, promptly upon written request, (A) to the extent accurate, a written statement by Parent that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act and (B) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Accredited Stockholders to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

(c)    Provided the requirements of Rule 144 as heretofore referenced are met, Parent shall promptly, upon an Accredited Stockholder’s written request, cause its registrar and stock transfer agent to remove any restrictive legends from any stock certificate representing the Accredited Stockholder’s portion of the Stock Consideration or other restrictions if such Stock Consideration is in book-entry form, including, but not limited to, delivering any certificates or other documents, or causing its counsel to promptly issue any opinions, necessary to effect such removal. The Accredited Stockholder shall provide Parent with the customary written representations and certificates necessary for Parent to satisfy the foregoing requirement.

Section 8.01    Efforts.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Parent shall cooperate with each other and shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or use reasonable best efforts to cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including (i) preparing and filing, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, with any Governmental Authority all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, financial statements, records, applications and other documents, in each case, to the extent applicable, (ii) obtaining and maintaining all Governmental Authorizations required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (iii) executing and delivering any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

to the HSR Act, (ii) shall comply at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any request under any of the Antitrust Laws for additional information, documents, or other materials received by each of them or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates from any Governmental Authority in respect of such filings or such transactions and (iii) shall cooperate with each other in connection with any such filing (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing parties prior to filing and considering all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith), and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any Governmental Authority under any of the Antitrust Laws with respect to any such filing or any such transaction. Neither Parent nor the Company shall commit to or agree (or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to commit to or agree) with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll, or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws, without the prior written consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed).

(c)    Subject to Applicable Law, each such party shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each such party shall promptly inform the other parties hereto of any oral communication with, and provide copies of written communications with, any Governmental Authority regarding any such filings or any such transaction. No party hereto shall independently participate in any formal meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of any such filings, investigation, or other inquiry without giving the other parties hereto prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and/or participate. Subject to Applicable Law, the parties hereto will consult and cooperate with one another in connection with any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto relating to proceedings under any of the Antitrust Laws. Any party may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other parties under this Section 8.01 as “outside counsel only”. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors or other Representatives of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials. The parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this Section 8.01 in such a manner so as to preserve any applicable privilege.

(d)    In the event that any Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private party challenging the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, the Company shall cooperate in all respects with Parent and Merger Subsidiary and shall use reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any Order, whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(e)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of Section 8.01, in the event that any Takeover Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including the Merger, the Company, at the direction of the Company Board, or Parent, at the direction of the Parent Board, as applicable, shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Merger) and the other Transaction Documents may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and otherwise act to render such Takeover Law inapplicable to the foregoing.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to, and the Company may not, without the prior written consent of Parent, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement, or order to: (i) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate, or otherwise dispose of any assets, business, or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (ii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest, or otherwise change the assets, business, or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner; or (iii) impose any restriction, requirement, or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Company, the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided, that, if requested by Parent, the Company will become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement, or order so long as such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement, or order is only binding on the Company in the event the Closing occurs.

Parent shall keep the Company reasonably apprised of material adverse developments relating to the Financing, including any material dispute or disagreement between or among the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter with respect to the obligation to fund the Debt Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at Closing (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Financing and/or the definitive documentation related thereto).

The Company will notify Parent of any material error, mistake or omission in the Required Information or the other information provided pursuant

to this Section 8.09(b) that it becomes aware of and if requested by Parent will use its reasonable efforts to promptly correct such error, mistake or omission.

Section 8.10    Consent Solicitation.

(a)    Promptly after the date of this Agreement, Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all necessary and appropriate documentation, including the consent solicitation statement, related letters or transmittal and other related documents (collectively, the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), for the Company to commence a consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) with respect to the amendments and waivers to the Senior Notes Indenture set forth in Section 8.10(a)(i) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (the “Waiver”) the terms and conditions of which will include those set forth in Section 8.10(a)(ii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (or as may

otherwise be agreed between the Company and Parent) and such other customary terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent. Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives to, use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Parent and its Representatives or the Company and its Representatives, as the case may be, in connection with the preparation of the Consent Solicitation Statement (including all amendments or supplements thereto), to execute such documents and take such other actions, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the Company to carry out the Consent Solicitation as contemplated hereunder and to use reasonable best efforts to assist the solicitation agent in obtaining a list of beneficial holders of the Senior Notes (or The Depository Trust Company participants holding Senior Notes on behalf of such beneficial holders) and to produce customary legal opinions, certificates and other documents as may be reasonably requested by the solicitation agent in connection with the Consent Solicitation. The Consent Solicitation Statement (including all amendments or supplements thereto) and all mailings to the holders of the Senior Notes in connection with the Consent Solicitation Statement shall be subject to the prior review of, and approval by, the Company, such approval to not unreasonably be withheld or delayed.

(b)    Reasonably promptly upon approval of the Consent Solicitation Statement by the Company, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to commence the Consent Solicitation, and to waive any of the conditions to the Consent Solicitation as may be reasonably requested by Parent (other than the condition that any proposed amendments not become operative until the Closing has occurred), so long as such waivers would not cause the Consent Solicitation to violate the Senior Notes Indenture, any of the Material Contracts or Applicable Law, and not to waive, without the written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, any condition to the Consent Solicitation or make any change, amendment or modification to the terms and conditions of any Consent Solicitation other than as reasonably directed by Parent or as required by Applicable Law. If at any time prior to the completion of the Consent Solicitation any information in the Consent Solicitation Statement should be discovered by the Company or Parent which the Company or Parent determines, upon the advice of its counsel, should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Consent Solicitation Statement so that the Consent Solicitation Statement shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be prepared by Parent, with the Company’s cooperation and assistance, and, following final approval of such amendment by Parent and the Company, sent by the Company to holders of the Senior Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.10, the parties shall, in conducting the Consent Solicitation, comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the 1934 Act, to the extent applicable, and any other Applicable Laws.

(c)    Promptly following the expiration date of the Consent Solicitation, assuming that the required number of consents are received, the Company shall execute, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the trustee of the Senior Notes (the “Trustee”) to execute, a supplement to the Senior Notes Indenture to give effect to the Waiver (“Supplemental Indenture”) and shall cause such Supplemental Indenture to become effective prior to Closing; provided that the

Supplemental Indenture shall provide that the Waiver in such Supplemental Indenture shall become operative only upon Closing. Parent and the Company shall each execute and deliver such customary closing certificates and other similar documents as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee in connection with the execution of the Supplemental Indenture. Parent and the Company shall each use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such customary legal opinions as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee for the Senior Notes in connection with the execution of the Supplemental Indenture.

(d)    Parent shall select and appoint one or more solicitation agents, information agents or other agents reasonably acceptable to the Company to provide assistance in connection with the Consent Solicitation, and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, enter into customary agreements (including indemnitees) with such parties so selected and on terms and conditions acceptable to Parent.

(e)    Each of Parent and the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that all fees and expenses incurred by the parties in connection with the Consent Solicitation (the aggregate amount of such fees and expenses being the “Consent Solicitation Fees and Expenses Amount”), including any fees paid to the holders of the Senior Notes and any fees paid to the solicitation agents, information agents and/or other agents selected in accordance with the foregoing, shall be split equally between the Company and Parent.

(f)    In the event that the Consent Solicitation is unsuccessful, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt by the Company of a written request by Parent to do so (which written request shall be made by Parent on a date of its choosing within the Refinancing Period, provided that such date, in the reasonable judgment of Parent, shall allow sufficient time for the completion of the Debt Offer within the Refinancing Period), but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such written request (provided that Parent has provided the documentation contemplated by Section 8.10(g)), use its commercially reasonable efforts to take the following actions on such terms and conditions that are consistent with the requirements of the Senior Notes Indenture and the Senior Notes and otherwise reasonably specified, from time to time, by Parent: (i) make an offer to purchase with respect to all of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (the “Debt Offer”) and (ii) commence a related consent solicitation to amend the Senior Notes Indenture to remove the negative covenants and other provisions therefrom as set forth on Section 8.10(f) of the Parent Disclosure Letter (or as may otherwise be reasonably requested by Parent). On the Closing Date, the Company shall accept for purchase (with funds to be advanced or contributed by Parent) the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Debt Offer, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all conditions to the Debt Offer. Upon Parent’s written request, the Company shall withdraw and terminate, amend or extend, or cause to be withdrawn and terminated, amended or extended, any Debt Offer and related consent solicitation. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the price to be paid in connection with the Debt Offer, conditionality, ability to terminate, amend or extend the Debt Offer, and the form and substance of the amendments to the Senior Notes and the Senior Notes Indenture to become operative on the Closing Date, and the decision by Parent to terminate or extend the Debt Offer, shall be within Parent’s sole discretion. None of the Senior Notes shall be required to be repurchased prior to the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the closing of any Debt Offer and related consent solicitation shall be conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing and funded (including any consent payment, any accrued interest, any premium and all other reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses related thereto) by amounts provided, advanced or contributed by Parent or Merger Subsidiary, and (y) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to take any action in violation of any Applicable Law, any of their respective Organizational Documents, any Material Contract or the Senior Notes Indenture or the Senior Notes in connection with any Debt Offer and related consent solicitation. Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives and advisors to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Parent or the Company, as applicable, in connection with any Debt Offer and related consent solicitation, including entering into, upon the closing of any related consent solicitation (or on such earlier date as may be provided in the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation materials) and receipt of the requisite consents of holders of the Senior Notes, one or more supplemental indentures (to be effective upon the execution thereof, with the operative provisions thereof to take effect only upon Closing) reflecting the amendments to the Senior Notes Indenture approved in such consent solicitation, and using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the trustee under the Senior Notes Indenture, to promptly enter into such supplemental indenture or supplemental indentures.

(g)    Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all necessary and appropriate documentation (including the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement related letters of transmittal, a supplement to the Senior Notes Indenture, other related documents, and, if applicable, all mailings to the holders of the Senior Notes) in connection with the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent. Parent and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the preparation of all documentation relating to the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation (the “Debt Offer Documents”), which shall be subject to the prior review of, and comment by, the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, execute such documents and take such other actions, in each case, as may be reasonably requested by Parent to carry out the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation as contemplated hereunder, to assist the dealer manager or other agent in obtaining a list of beneficial holders of the Senior Notes (or The Depository Trust Company participants holding Senior Notes on behalf of such beneficial holders), and to produce customary legal opinions, certificates and other documents as may be reasonably requested by the dealer manager in connection with the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation. If at any time prior to the completion of the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation any information should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Debt Offer Documents, so that such documentation shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other party, and an appropriate amendment or supplement prepared by Parent (subject to the review of, and comment by, the Company) describing such information shall be disseminated by or on behalf of the Company to the holders of the Senior Notes.

(h)    In connection with the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation, Parent may select one or more dealer managers, solicitation agents, information agents, depositaries and other agents reasonably acceptable to the Company to provide assistance in connection therewith. The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such parties so selected, including entering into customary agreements with such parties on terms and conditions acceptable to Parent in order to effectuate the Debt Offer and the related consent solicitation.

(i)    Parent shall pay the fees and out-of-pocket expenses of any dealer manager, solicitation agent, information agent, depositary or other agent retained in connection with the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation upon the incurrence of such fees and out-of-pocket expenses, and Parent further agrees to reimburse the Company for all of the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the Debt Offer and related consent solicitation (including any action taken to enforce Parent’s reimbursement obligation hereunder), including fees of outside counsel, accountants and advisors.

Section 8.11    R&W Insurance. After the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article X and the expiration of the R&W Insurance Policy, any amendments, modifications or supplements to, or waivers under, the R&W Insurance Policy that are material to Sellers’ indemnification obligations set forth in Article XI shall require the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall, and shall cause it Subsidiaries and use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives, to, at the cost and expense of Parent, reasonably cooperate with Parent and the R&W Insurers (including executing and delivering such reasonable and customary additional certificates and other documents, and being available to the R&W Insurers and Parent and its Representatives for such additional bring down due diligence, as may be reasonably required) to enable Purchaser to maintain the R&W Insurance Policy in full force and effect through and beyond the Closing; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to pay any additional fees, costs or expenses.

Section 8.12    280G Shareholder Approval. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall obtain from each “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code) a waiver by such individual of any and all payments (or other benefits) contingent on the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Code) to the extent necessary so that such payments and benefits would not be “excess parachute payments” under Section 280G of the Code and (ii) submit to its stockholders for a vote all such waived payments in a manner such that, if such vote is adopted by the stockholders in a manner that satisfies the stockholder approval requirements under Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder, no payment received by such “disqualified individual” would be a “parachute payment” under Section 280G(b) of the Code. Such vote shall establish the “disqualified individual’s” right to the payment or other compensation. In addition, the Company shall provide adequate disclosure to the stockholders entitled to vote of all material facts concerning all payments that, but for such vote, could be deemed “parachute payments” to any such “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code in a manner intended to satisfy Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 9.04    Frustration of Closing Conditions. None of Parent or Merger Subsidiary, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Article IX to be satisfied if such failure was caused by the failure of Parent or Merger Subsidiary, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, to act in good faith or to use reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as required by and subject to Section 8.01.

Section 10.01    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time (notwithstanding receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval):

(a)    by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent; or

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

(i)    the Merger has not been consummated on or before the date that is 130 days after the date hereof (the “End Date”); provided, however, that (1) if by the end of such End Date, the Closing has not occurred due to the failure of a condition set forth in Article IX being met with respect to obtaining the consent, authorization or approval from any Governmental Authority or any third Person, then the End Date shall be extended automatically one time by an additional sixty (60) days (and in such event such 60^th day after the 130^th day shall be the “End Date”) and (2) if the date on which the End Date, as it may be extended, would occur is not a Business Day, then the End Date shall be further extended to be the next following Business Day; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Merger to be consummated on or before the End Date (it being understood that Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be deemed a single party for purposes of the foregoing proviso); or

(ii)    if any Restraint shall be in effect making illegal, permanently enjoining or otherwise permanently prohibiting the consummation of the Merger, the Parent Stock Issuance or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such Restraint shall have become final and nonappealable; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(b)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in such Restraint (it being understood that Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be deemed a single party for purposes of the foregoing proviso); or

(c)    by Parent, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in Section 9.02(a) not to be satisfied, and such condition is incapable of being satisfied by the End Date; provided that the right to terminate this

Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(c) shall not be available to Parent if Parent’s breach of any provision of this Agreement would cause the conditions set forth in Section 9.03(a) not to be satisfied; or

(d)    by the Company,

(i)    if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Parent or Merger Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in Section 9.03(a) not to be satisfied, and such condition is incapable of being satisfied by the End Date; provided that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10.01(d)(i) shall not be available to the Company if the Company’s breach of any provision of this Agreement would cause the condition set forth in Section 9.02(a) not to be satisfied; or

(ii)    if (A) the Refinancing Period has ended and all of the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 have been and remain satisfied or waived (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing), (B) the Company has notified Parent in writing that the Company is ready and willing to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (subject to the satisfaction of all conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02), and (C) Parent and Merger Subsidiary fail to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement within three (3) Business Days following the Company’s delivery of such notice (for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that in accordance with the proviso of Section 10.01(b)(i), during such period of three (3) Business Days following delivery of such notice, Parent shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i)).

Section 10.02    Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a)    The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01 (other than pursuant to Section 10.01(a)) shall give written notice of such termination to each other party hereto specifying in reasonable detail the reason for such termination, and any such termination in accordance with this Section 10.02(a) shall be effective immediately upon delivery of such written notice to the other party.

(b)    If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect, without liability of any party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or Representative of such party) to any other party hereto; provided, however, that (a) the provisions of this Section 10.02 and Sections 10.03, 14.01, 14.03, 14.06, 14.07, 14.08 and 14.12 and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive such termination and (b) except as provided in Section 10.03, neither the Company nor Parent shall be relieved or released from any Liabilities arising out of any willful and material breach of any provision of this Agreement or Fraud.

Section 10.03    Parent Termination Fee; Acknowledgments.

(a)    Parent Termination Fee. If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(d)(ii) (other than as a result of a failure by the Company to fulfill its obligations under Section 8.10), then Parent shall pay to the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to $22,500,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”), within two (2) Business Days after such termination.

(b)    Acknowledgments.

(i)    Parent hereby acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the Company would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if Parent fails to timely pay the Parent Termination Fee once due pursuant to Section 10.03(a) and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a Proceeding that results in a final and non-appealable judgment of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction against Parent for such payment, then Parent shall pay to the Company its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Proceeding, together with interest on any unpaid amounts of the Parent Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 10.03(a) at the prime rate of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made from the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

(ii)    The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that: (A) in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion and if Parent is obligated pursuant to pay the Parent Termination Fee and the Company receives the full amount of the Parent Termination Fee from Parent in the circumstances described in Section 10.03(a), (1) such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company and its shareholders with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or any matter forming the basis for such termination against Parent and Merger Subsidiary and each of their respective former, current or future equity holders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, stockholders, Affiliates or Representatives and any and all former, current or future heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing, any Financing Source and each Affiliate, officer, director, employee controlling person, advisor, agent or Representative of any Financing Source (each a “Parent Related Party”), (2) no Parent Related Party shall have any further Liability relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (3) neither the Company nor any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any Parent Related Party arising out of this Agreement, any Commitment Letter, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination; and (B) the Parent Termination Fee, if, as and when required to be paid pursuant to this Section 10.03, shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and the other Transaction Document and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. For the avoidance of doubt, while the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance in accordance with Section 14.12 and the payment of the Parent Termination Fee under this Section 10.03, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in a Closing and the Parent Termination Fee.

Section 11.01    Survival.

(a)    General. Subject to Sections 11.01(b) and 11.01(d), the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement and the representations and warranties set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 9.02(a), in each case other than the Company Specified Representations, shall survive the Effective Time until 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific time on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “General Representation Survival Time”), at which time such representations and warranties shall expire and shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the General Representation Survival Time, any Indemnitee delivers to the Stockholder Representative a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of such representations and warranties and asserting a claim for recovery under Section 11.02 based on such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the General Representation Survival Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. All covenants and agreements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the period expressly specified therein.

(b)    Specified Representations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.01(a), but subject to Section 11.01(d), each Company Specified Representation shall survive the Effective Time until 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific time on the date that is 60 months after the Closing Date, at which time such Company Specified Representation shall expire and shall be of no further force or effect; provided, however, that if, at any time on or prior to the applicable expiration date referred to in this sentence, any Indemnitee delivers to the Stockholder Representative a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of such Company Specified Representations and asserting a claim for recovery under Section 11.02 based on such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive such expiration date until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(c)    Parent Representations. All representations and warranties made by Parent and/or Merger Subsidiary in this Agreement or in any certificate referred to in this Agreement shall terminate and expire as of the Effective Time. All covenants and agreements of Parent contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing indefinitely or for the period expressly specified therein.

(d)    Fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 11.01(a) or Section 11.01(b), the limitations set forth in Sections 11.01(a) and 11.01(b) shall not apply in the event of Fraud (whether on the part of a Seller against whom Liability is being asserted,

on the part of any other Seller, on the part of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or on the part of any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries).

Section 11.02    Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time (but subject to Section 11.01 and the other provisions and limitations of this Article XI), each Seller, on a several, but not joint, basis with the other Sellers, shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Indemnitees from and against such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of any Losses which are actually suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees (regardless of whether or not such Losses relate to any third-party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly as a result of:

(a)    any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or in any of the certificates referred to in Section 9.02(a) (it being understood that for purposes of this Section 11.02(a) such representations and shall be deemed to have been made as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing; provided that for the purposes of this Article XI, qualifications as to material, materiality or Material Adverse Effect contained in such representations and warranties shall not be given effect for determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred, and shall not be given effect for purposes of calculating any Losses;

(b)    any breach, prior to the Closing of any covenant or obligation of the Company, or any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Stockholders Representative in this Agreement; or

(c)    any claim asserted by any current, former or alleged stockholder of the Company or holder of Company Stock Options alleging (i) any ownership of, interest in or right to acquire any Company Securities or any Company Subsidiary Securities, or (ii) any rights or entitlements of any holder of Company Stock Options to receive payments or other consideration arising out of any Company Stock Options in excess of amounts required to be paid to such holders under this Agreement.

Section 11.03    Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification provided for in Section 11.02 shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a)    Threshold. Subject to Section 11.03(b), the Sellers shall not be required to make any indemnification payment for Losses pursuant to Section 11.02(a) until such time as the total amount of all Losses arising pursuant to Section 11.02(a) that have been actually suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees exceeds $5,375,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) in the aggregate. Subject to Section 11.03(d), if the total amount of such Losses actually suffered or incurred by the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.02(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount, then the Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover from Sellers, in accordance with Section 11.02 with respect to Losses, the amount of such Losses in excess of the Threshold Amount up to the Escrow Amount (the “Cap”).

(b)    Applicability of Threshold and Cap. The limitations set forth in Section 11.03(a) shall not apply (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of any Seller)

to: (i) inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Company Specified Representations; and (ii) the matters referred to in Sections 11.02(b) and 11.02(c).

(c)    Net Losses. The amount of any and all Losses for which indemnification is provided under this Article XI shall be determined net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnitees under insurance policies (other than the R&W Insurance Policy) or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Losses, in each case, net of the present value of any increases in premiums and net of any costs of collection, deductibles, retroactive premium adjustment, reimbursement obligation or other cost resulting from making any claim thereunder, and (ii) any Tax benefits actually realized in cash by the Indemnitees in connection with the payment or incurrence of such Losses, as determined in good faith by such Indemnitees, taking into account any offsetting detriment and only taking into account actual Tax benefits realized in the Tax year in which the indemnity payment is made or a prior year and, in each case, net of any costs of recovery to the Indemnitees.

(d)    No Duplication. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnitee shall have any right to indemnification under this Article XI with respect to any Losses to the extent that such Losses are duplicative of Losses that have previously been recovered by such Indemnitee.

(e)    R&W Insurance. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Indemnitees to make claims against the R&W Insurance Policy, nor shall Stockholder Representative or any Sellers have any right of subrogation, offset or other recovery under this Agreement or otherwise, against amounts recovered by any Indemnitee under the R&W Insurance Policy.

(f)    Pro Rata Share Cap. The total amount of Losses that each Seller that did not commit Fraud shall be required to pay to the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 11.02 shall be limited to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of such Losses up to, but not exceeding, the amount of the Merger Consideration actually received by such Seller (it being understood that there shall be no limitation on the liability of any Seller that was determined, by a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed Fraud resulting in such Losses); provided, however, that no Seller shall be liable for aggregate monetary Losses resulting from the matters referred to in Section 11.02(a) (other than with respect to Company Specified Representations) in excess of such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount.

Section 11.04    Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a)    In the event any Indemnitee receives notice of the assertion or commencement by any Person (other than an Indemnitee) of any Proceeding (whether against the Surviving Entity, Parent, any Subsidiary of Parent, Parent or any other Person) with respect to which any Seller may become obligated to hold harmless or indemnify any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article XI, such Indemnitee shall deliver a Notice of Claim to the Stockholder Representative promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after the such notice. The failure to by such Indemnitee to give such Notice of Claim to the Stockholder Representative within the periods specified in the foregoing sentence shall not, however, relieve Sellers of their indemnification

obligations hereunder, except to the extent that Sellers are materially and adversely prejudiced thereby. Unless the defense of such Proceeding is being controlled by the R&W Insurers under the R&W Insurance Policy, Parent shall have the right, at its election within ten (10) days of the date of such Notice of Claim, to proceed with the defense of such Proceeding on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholder Representative; provided, however, that (x) Parent will discuss in advance, to the extent such discussion does not result in any material delay materially adverse to such defense and is legally permissible, and consider in good faith the views of the Stockholder Representative with respect to such defense, and (y) the Stockholder Representative may (at its own cost and expense) participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any such Proceeding controlled by Parent pursuant to this Section 11.04(a).

(b)    If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such Proceeding:

(i)    subject to the other provisions of this Article XI, all reasonable, out-of-pocket and documented expenses relating to the defense of such Proceeding shall be borne by and paid exclusively by the Sellers;

(ii)    each Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Parent any documents and materials in such Seller’s possession or control that may be necessary or reasonably appropriate to the defense of such Proceeding;

(iii)    Parent shall defend such Proceeding in good faith, subject to the Parent’s right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim pursuant to Section 11.04(b)(iv); and

(iv)    Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Proceeding acting reasonably and in good faith; provided, however, that (x) such settlement, adjustment or compromise includes an unconditional release of each Seller (by name to the extent such Seller is a named party to such Proceeding, or otherwise by reference to generic terminology such as “current and former members” of the Company or language to similar effect) from any and all Liabilities arising out of such Proceeding and does not include any statement as to, or any admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of Parent or the Company and (y) such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not impose any injunctive or other equitable relief against such Seller.

(c)    If Parent does not elect to proceed in a timely manner with, and the R&W Insurers are not controlling, the defense of any such Proceeding, or if Parent ceases to control the defense of such Proceeding, or fails to in good faith defend such Proceeding, the Stockholder Representative may proceed with the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided, however, that the Stockholder Representative may not settle, adjust or compromise any such Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In such case, Parent shall cooperate with the Stockholder Representative in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any such Legal Proceeding, including making available any documents and materials in its possession or control that may be necessary or reasonably appropriate to the defense of such Proceeding.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent required by the R&W Insurers in connection with any claim made by an Indemnitee thereunder, the conduct of the defense or prosecution of any Third Party claim will be assigned to counsel selected or approved by the R&W Insurers, or otherwise conducted in coordination with the R&W Insurers, in each case without prejudice to the rights of the parties hereunder, and the Seller Representative and the Indemnitee will reasonably cooperate at Parent’s expense with the R&W Insurers and such counsel in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party claim and otherwise comply with the requirements of the R&W Insurance Policy applicable to such party in connection therewith.

Section 11.05    Indemnification Claim Procedure. Any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to this Article XI shall be brought and resolved exclusively as follows:

(a)    If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have actually incurred or suffered, or believes in good faith that it may actually incur or suffer, Losses (whether or not arising from the assertion or commencement by any Person (other than an Indemnitee) of any Proceeding) for which it is or may be entitled to be held harmless or indemnified under Article XI (including in the case of a claim based on Fraud), such Indemnitee shall deliver a written notice of claim (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Stockholder Representative promptly, but in any event within fifteen (15) days after first becoming aware of the occurrence of the event giving rise to such Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification pursuant hereto. The failure by such Indemnitee to give such Notice of Claim to the Stockholder Representative within the period specified in the foregoing sentence shall not, however, relieve Sellers of their indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that Sellers are materially and adversely prejudiced thereby. Each Notice of Claim shall: (i) state that such Indemnitee believes in good faith that such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification under Article XI; (ii) contain a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting such Indemnitee’s claim; and (iii) if practicable, contain a good faith, non-binding estimate of the aggregate amount of the actual and potential Losses that the Indemnitee reasonably believes have arisen and may arise as a result of such facts and circumstances (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by such Indemnitee from time to time, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”).

(b)    During the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Stockholder Representative from an Indemnitee of a Notice of Claim (the “Dispute Period”), the Stockholder Representative may send to the Indemnitee who delivered the Notice of Claim a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Stockholder Representative: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to such Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnitee; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to such Indemnitee. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, such Response Notice shall also contain a reasonably detailed description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Stockholder Representative’s claim that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, as the case may be. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Indemnitee pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Stockholder Representative asserts in the Response Notice that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee) is referred to in

this Agreement as the “Contested Amount” (it being understood that the Contested Amount shall be modified from time to time to reflect any modifications by the Indemnitee to the Claimed Amount). If a Response Notice is not sent to the Indemnitee prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Stockholder Representative shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee.

(c)    If (i) the Stockholder Representative delivers a Response Notice to the Indemnitee agreeing that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, or (ii) the Stockholder Representative does not deliver a Response Notice to the Indemnitee during the Dispute Period, then, subject to the provisions of Section 11.03:

(i)    with respect to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 11.02(a), the obligation to pay the Claimed Amount to the Indemnitee shall be satisfied (A) first, by application toward the Threshold Amount, (B) second, by Sellers to the extent recovery is available under the Escrow Fund, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, up to the Cap, and (C) thereafter, by recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy; and

(ii)    with respect to any other claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to this Article XI, the obligation to pay the Claimed Amount to the Indemnitee shall be satisfied by Sellers as follows: (A) first, to the extent recovery is available under the Escrow Fund, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and (B) thereafter, each Seller shall, within ten (10) Business Days following such earlier date, pay such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of any remaining unpaid portion of the Claimed Amount to the Indemnitee.

(d)    If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Response Notice to the Indemnitee during the Dispute Period agreeing that less than the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, then, subject to the provisions of Section 11.03:

(i)    with respect to a claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 11.02(a), the obligation to pay the Agreed Amount to the Indemnitee shall be satisfied (A) first, by application toward the Threshold Amount, (B) second, by Sellers to the extent recovery is available under the Escrow Fund, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, up to the Cap, and (C) thereafter, by recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy; and

(ii)    with respect to any other claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to this Article XI, the obligation to pay the Agreed Amount to the Indemnitee shall be satisfied by Sellers as follows: (A) first, to the extent recovery is available under the Escrow Fund, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and (B) thereafter, each Seller shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of such Response Notice, pay such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of any remaining unpaid portion of the Agreed Amount to the Indemnitee.

(e)    If the Stockholder Representative delivers a Response Notice to the Indemnitee during the Dispute Period indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Stockholder Representative and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the

Contested Amount within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Stockholder Representative delivers such Response Notice (or such longer period as the Indemnitee and the Stockholder Representative may mutually agree in writing). If the Indemnitee and the Stockholder Representative resolve such dispute during such period, then their resolution of such dispute shall be binding on the Stockholder Representative, the Sellers and such Indemnitee and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Indemnitee (the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by the Indemnitee and the Stockholder Representative. Following the execution of such settlement agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 11.03:

(i)    with respect to a claim for indemnification, compensation or pursuant to Section 11.02(a), the obligation to pay the Stipulated Amount to the Indemnitee shall be satisfied (A) first, by application toward the Threshold Amount, (B) second, by Sellers to the extent recovery is available under the Escrow Fund, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, up to the Cap, and (C) thereafter, by recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy; and

(ii)    with respect to any other claim for indemnification, compensation or pursuant to this Article XI, the obligation to pay the Stipulated Amount to the Indemnitee shall be satisfied by Sellers as follows: (A) first, to the extent recovery is available under the Escrow Fund, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and (B) thereafter, each Seller shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the execution of such settlement agreement (or such shorter period of time as may be set forth in the settlement agreement), pay such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of any remaining unpaid portion of the Stipulated Amount to the Indemnitee.

(f)    In the event that the Indemnitee and the Stockholder Representative fail to reach a resolution on a Notice of Claim or Contested Amount that is the subject of a Response Notice, within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Stockholder Representative delivers such Response Notice (or such longer period as the Indemnitee and the Stockholder Representative may mutually agree in writing) (whether it is a matter between the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, or it is a matter that is subject to a Proceeding asserted or commenced by a third party brought against the Indemnitee), such dispute shall be settled in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.06 and Section 14.07. If, upon and as part of the final resolution of such dispute in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.06 and Section 14.07, the Indemnitee is awarded Losses (the amount of such awarded Losses being the “Awarded Amount”), then, subject to the provisions of Section 11.03:

(i)    with respect to a claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 11.02(a), the obligation to pay the Awarded Amount to the Indemnitee shall be satisfied (A) first, by application toward the Threshold Amount, (B) second, by Sellers to the extent recovery is available under the Escrow Fund, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, up to the Cap, and (C) thereafter, by recovery under the R&W Insurance Policy; and

(ii)    with respect to any other claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to this Article XI, the obligation to pay the Awarded Amount to the Indemnitee shall be satisfied by Sellers as follows: (A) first, to the extent recovery is available under the Escrow Fund, pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, and (B) thereafter,

each Seller which shall, within ten (10) Business Days following final resolution of such dispute (or such shorter period of time as may be stipulated under the terms of such final resolution), pay such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of any remaining unpaid portion of the Awarded Amount to the Indemnitee.

Section 11.06    Exercise of Remedies Other Than by Parent. No Indemnitee (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

Section 11.07    Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 14.12 and the terms and conditions of the R&W Insurance Policy, the parties acknowledge and agree that following the Effective Time, the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of Parent and the other Indemnitees with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be the right to indemnification set forth in this Article XI, other than in the case of Fraud. If no such right of indemnification is expressly provided in this Article XI, then such claims are hereby waived to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 12.01    Pre-Closing Tax Returns. Parent shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and shall file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries for taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date that are required to be filed after the Closing Date. Subject to the following two sentences, all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices of the applicable company unless otherwise required by Applicable Law. The parties agree, for all income tax purposes, to treat the payment of the Option Settlement Payments as being properly allocable to the portion of the day after the Effective Time and as occurring at the beginning of the following day pursuant to the “Next Day Rule” set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B); provided, however, the parties further agree that Sellers’ indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall not apply to any Loss that would not have been incurred by any Indemnitee had the “Next Day Rule” not been applied to the Option Settlement Payments. Consistent with the foregoing, the parties agree not to report any deduction resulting from the payment of the Option Settlement Payments on the Tax Return of the Company for the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and instead, such deduction shall be reported on the Tax Return of the Company included in the consolidated group of which Parent is the common parent for the portion of the taxable year occurring after the Closing Date. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return (after applicable extensions) if such Tax Return relates to income Taxes, and at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return (after applicable extensions) if such Tax Return relates to non-income Taxes, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a copy of such Tax Return for the Stockholder Representative’s review and comment but only if such Tax Return could reasonably be expected to result in a Liability of the Sellers pursuant to Section 11.02, after taking into account the limitations described in Section 11.03. Parent will accept such revisions to such Tax Returns as are reasonably requested by Stockholder Representative to the extent they relate to positions that could reasonably be expected to result in

a Liability of Sellers pursuant to Section 11.02, after taking into account the limitations described in Section 11.03. After the Closing Date, unless required by Applicable Law, without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative, neither Parent, the Surviving Corporation, nor any of their Affiliates will amend any Tax Return, make any election, or take any other action having retroactive effect, in each case relating to a taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, if such amendment, election or action would reasonably be expected to result in a Liability of Sellers pursuant to Section 11.02, after taking into account the limitations described in Section 11.03.

Section 12.02    Tax Controversy. Parent, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall provide the Stockholder Representative with notice of any audit or investigations with respect to a taxable period beginning before the Closing Date if such audit or investigation could give rise to a Liability of Sellers pursuant to Section 11.02, after taking into account the limitations described in Section 11.03. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to participate in any and all such audits or investigations and to approve the disposition thereof (not to be unreasonable withheld or delayed) to the extent it would result in any such Liability to Sellers pursuant to Section 11.02, after taking into account the limitations described in Section 11.03.

Section 12.03    Remaining Tax Benefit Amount. Within the later of (a) five (5) days after April 17, 2018 and (b) five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Cash Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.03(b), Parent shall pay the Remaining Tax Benefit Amount, less an amount equal to the amount deducted therefrom, if any, as determined in accordance with Section 2.03(b)(ii)(E), to an account designated in writing by the Exchange Agent, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, which amount shall be distributed by the Exchange Agent to the holders of Outstanding Common Shares.

Section 13.01    Appointment. By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement in exchange for Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement or by executing and delivering a Letter of Transmittal in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Sellers hereby irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint Ronald M. Simon, as the agent and true and lawful attorney in fact of the Sellers (the “Stockholder Representative”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Sellers for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that the Stockholder Representative may, in the Stockholder Representative’s sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those contemplated by Article II and Article XI. Ronald M. Simon hereby accepts his appointment as Stockholder Representative.

Section 13.02    Authority. The Sellers hereby grant to the Stockholder Representative full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of such Sellers (in the name of any or all of the Sellers or otherwise) any and all documents that the Stockholder Representative may, in his sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Stockholder Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing his duties as contemplated by Section 13.01. Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) each Indemnitee shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholder Representative on all matters relating to the transactions contemplated by Article II and any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Article XI, and (ii) each Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Seller, by Stockholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Seller, by the Stockholder Representative as fully binding upon such Seller.

Section 13.03    Replacement. If the Stockholder Representative shall die, resign, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Sellers shall (by consent of those Persons entitled to at least a majority of the Merger Consideration), within ten (10) Business Days after such death, resignation, disability or inability, appoint a successor to the Stockholder Representative (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent) and immediately thereafter notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Stockholder Representative as Stockholder Representative hereunder. If for any reason there is no Stockholder Representative at any time, all references herein to the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to refer to the Sellers.

Section 13.04    Liability. The Stockholder Representative will incur no liability to any Seller with respect to any action taken or suffered by any party in reliance upon any notice, direction, instruction, consent, statement or other document believed by the Stockholder Representative to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper Person (and the Stockholder Representative shall have no responsibility to determine the authenticity thereof), nor for any other action or inaction, except his own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. In all questions arising under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, the Stockholder Representative may rely on the advice of outside counsel, and the Stockholder Representative will not be liable to any Seller for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Stockholder Representative based on such advice.

Section 13.05    Indemnification of Stockholder Representative. The Sellers shall severally (and not jointly), each based on and limited to its Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration, indemnify the Stockholder Representative and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, on the part of the Stockholder Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholder Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel, accountants or other agents retained by the Stockholder Representative.

Section 14.01    Notices. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or email (provided, that such email states that it is a notice delivered pursuant to this Section 14.01)) and shall be given,

or to such other address or facsimile number or email address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices, requests and other communications shall be deemed received on the date of receipt by the recipient.

Section 14.02    Amendments and Waivers; Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a)    Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided, however, that if any such amendment or waiver shall, by Applicable Law, require further approval by the stockholders of the Company, such amendment or waiver shall be subject to such approval having been obtained; provided, further, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this sentence, Section 14.02(c), Section 14.06, Section 14.07, Section 14.08 and Section 14.12(d) (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent a modification, waiver or termination would modify the substance of this sentence, Section 14.02(c), Section 14.06, Section 14.07, Section 14.08 or Section 14.12(d)) may not be modified, waived or terminated without the prior written consent of the lead Financing Arranger.

(b)    No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Financing Arranger Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries of, and shall be entitled to rely on and have the right to enforce this sentence, Section 14.02(a), Section 14.06, Section 14.07, Section 14.08 and Section 14.12(d).

Section 14.03    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

Section 14.04    Disclosure Letter References. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement, and any other representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other provisions hereof of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and other provisions hereof, would be reasonably apparent from the face of such reference. The Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter are incorporated by reference into and made a part of this Agreement. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or other provision hereof shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as applicable.

Section 14.05    Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(b)    No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent or Merger Subsidiary may transfer or assign all (but not less than all) of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one of its wholly owned Subsidiaries at any time; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Parent or Merger Subsidiary of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Subsidiary. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 14.05(b) shall be null and void.

Section 14.06    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such State. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and irrevocably agree that any Proceeding involving the Financing Arranger Parties arising out of, or relating to, the transactions contemplated hereby, the Debt Commitment Letter, the Debt Financing or the performance of services thereunder related thereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, and (b) the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, for the purposes of any suit, action or other Proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the other documents contemplated hereby or any transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, that, with respect to any suit, action or other Proceeding involving any Financing Arranger Party, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing, each of the Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and any other courts to which appeals from any such court may be taken). Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary and the Company agrees to commence any action, suit or other Proceeding relating hereto either in the United States District Court in Wilmington, Delaware or if such suit, action or other Proceeding may not be brought in such court for jurisdictional reasons, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Arranger Parties in any way arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of the Debt Commitment Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary and the Company further agrees that mailing process or other papers in connection with any such Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 14.01 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.

The parties agree that a final trial court judgment in any such suit, action or other Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable 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, such final trial court judgment.

Section 14.08    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (INCLUDING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE DEBT FINANCING, THE DEBT COMMITMENT LETTER OR ANY OTHER LETTER OR AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF).

Section 14.09    Counterparts; Effectiveness.

This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, “.pdf” format or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 14.10    Entire Agreement; No Other Representations and Warranties.

(a)    This Agreement (including the Exhibits to this Agreement), together with the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

(b)    Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article IV, each of Parent and Merger Subsidiary acknowledges that neither the Company nor any Person on behalf of the Company makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or with respect to any other information made available to Parent or Merger Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)    Except for the representations and warranties contained in Article V, the Company acknowledges that none of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or any other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Subsidiary makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent or Merger Subsidiary or with respect to any other information made available to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 14.11    Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any

manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, 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 in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 14.12    Specific Performance.

(a)    The parties hereto 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 hereto 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 the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 14.07 without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement at law or in equity, and the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance or any other equitable remedy to cause Parent to draw down any portion of the Debt Financing pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter only (i) if (A) the Waiver shall have been obtained, and the Supplemental Indenture shall have been executed by the Company, in each case on the terms and conditions specified in Section 8.10, and each of the Waiver and the Supplemental Indenture as so obtained and executed, respectively, remain in full force and effect or (B) the Consent Solicitation is unsuccessful, (ii) if the Debt Financing or any Alternative Debt Financing that has been obtained as described in Section 8.09(a) has been funded or would be funded following the delivery of a drawdown notice by Parent and/or notice from Parent that the Debt Financing (or any such Alternative Debt Financing) will be funded (and so long as no Financing Arranger has asserted any failure of any condition precedent to funding under the Debt Commitment Letter (other than delivery of such drawdown notice) to be satisfied), (iii) if all the conditions set forth in Section 9.01 and Section 9.02 have been satisfied or waived (other than delivery of items to be delivered at the Closing and other than satisfaction of those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing) at the time Section 2.01(b) contemplated the Closing to occur, and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed that if a decree or order of specific performance or other equitable relief is granted and the Debt Financing is funded, then it would take all actions required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. Without limiting the generality of Section 14.12(a), but subject to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 14.12(b) and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, following unless the Consent Solicitation is unsuccessful, the Waiver being obtained and the Supplemental Indenture being executed and the funding of the Debt Financing (or any such Alternative Debt Financing), the parties hereby further acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance to enforce the observance

and performance of the terms and provisions hereof, including with respect to the obligation of Parent and Merger Subsidiary to consummate the Merger.

(c)    Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 14.12 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. If, prior to the End Date, any party brings any suit, action or other Proceeding, in each case in accordance with Section 14.07, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, the End Date shall automatically be extended by (A) the amount of time during which such suit, action or other Proceeding is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days or (B) such other time period established by the court presiding over such suit, action or other Proceeding, as the case may be.

(d)    No Recourse; Waiver of Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, including Section 14.07 or Section 14.12(b), the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Subsidiary) hereby waives any rights or claims against any Financing Arranger Party in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or any Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, stockholders, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and Representatives and excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Subsidiary) agrees not to commence or support (other than as provided in Section 14.12(b)) a suit, action or Proceeding, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise against any Financing Arranger Party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any suit, action or Proceeding relating to any Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated thereby). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing waiver, it is agreed that no Financing Arranger Party shall have any liability for any claims, losses, settlements, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, fines or penalties to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or the respective Representatives (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Merger Subsidiary) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including any Financing or the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated thereby). Nothing in this Section 14.12 shall in any way (a) expand the circumstances in which Parent may be liable under this Agreement or as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby (including as a result of any Financing) or (b) limit or qualify the Liabilities of the parties to the Debt Commitment Letter to each other thereunder or in connection therewith.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized officers as of the date set forth on the cover page of this Agreement.
