ARTICLE I
TERMINATION AND RELEASE

1.1               Termination of Merger Agreement. Purchaser and the Company hereby mutually consent and agree that, pursuant to Section 8.1(a) of the Merger Agreement, effective immediately upon execution and delivery of this Agreement by each Party and without further action by any Party, the Merger Agreement is hereby terminated in its entirety, is null and void, and is of no further force and effect, except that Section 6.15 (Confidential Information) of the Merger Agreement shall survive the termination of the Merger Agreement and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by each of the Parties.

1.2               Termination of Other Ancillary Documents. The Parties acknowledge and agree that each other Ancillary Document, including, without limitation, the Voting Agreements and the Lock-Up Agreements, and each other document contemplated by or entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, including without limitation the Sponsor Forfeiture Agreement and Sponsor Subscription Agreement, shall be automatically terminated, without further action on the part of the parties thereto, concurrent with the termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant hereto. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the other Ancillary Documents shall be of no further force or effect as of such time, including, without limitation, provisions of any such other Ancillary Document that by their terms would otherwise have survived the termination of such other Ancillary Document.

1.3               Mutual Release; Covenant Not to Sue.

(a)                Notwithstanding anything in the Merger Agreement or any other Ancillary Documents that may be deemed to the contrary, each Party, for and on behalf of itself and its Related Parties (as defined below), does hereby unequivocally, irrevocably, completely, finally and forever release and discharge, and hold harmless, each other Party and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, agents, advisors, representatives, managers, members, partners, shareholders or holders of any form of equity, employees, financing sources, Affiliates (including, without limitation, controlling persons and parent companies), officers, directors, members, managers and employees of Affiliates, principals, and any heirs, executors, administrators, predecessor entities, successors or assigns of any said person or entity and, with respect to Purchaser, its sponsor, ATAC Limited Partnership (“Related Parties”), from any and all past, present, direct, indirect, and derivative liabilities, actions, causes of action, cases, claims, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, attorneys’, fees, brokers’ fees, underwriters’ fees and any other advisors’ fees, accounts, reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, variances, trespasses, injuries, harms, damages, judgments, remedies, executions, demands, liens and damages of whatever nature, in law, equity or otherwise, asserted or that could have been asserted, under federal or state statute, or common law, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen, anticipated or unanticipated, whether or not concealed or hidden, from the beginning of time until the date of execution of this Agreement, that in any way arise from or out of, are based upon, or are in connection with or relate to (i) the Merger Agreement, the other Ancillary Documents and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby or thereby (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), (ii) any breach, non-performance, action or failure to act under the Transaction Documents and (iii) the proposed Mergers, including without limitation the events leading to the termination of the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document (collectively, the “Released Claims”); provided, however, that no Party shall be released from any breach, non-performance, action or failure to act under this Agreement.

(b)                It is understood and agreed that, except as provided in the proviso to Section 1.3(a), Section 1.3(a) is a full and final release covering all known as well as unknown or unanticipated debts, claims or damages of the Parties and their Related Parties relating to or arising out of the Transaction Documents. Therefore, each of the Parties expressly waives any rights it may have under any statute or common law principle under which a general release does not extend to claims which such Party does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by such Party must have affected such Party’s settlement with the other. In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, the Parties acknowledge that they or their attorneys or agents may hereafter discover claims or facts in addition to or different from those which they now know or believe to exist with respect to the Released Claims, but that it is their intention hereby fully, finally and forever to settle and release all of the Released Claims. In furtherance of this intention, the releases herein given shall be and remain in effect as full and complete mutual releases with regard to the Released Claims notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different claim or fact.

(c)                Except as provided in the proviso to Section 1.3(a), each Party, on behalf of itself and its Related Parties, hereby covenants to each other Party and their respective Related Parties not to, with respect to any Released Claim, directly or indirectly encourage or solicit or voluntarily assist or participate in any way in the filing, reporting or prosecution by such Party or its Related Parties or any third party of a suit, arbitration, mediation, or claim (including, without limitation, a third party or derivative claim) against any other Party and/or its Related Parties relating to any Released Claim. The covenants contained in this Section 1.3 shall survive this Agreement indefinitely regardless of any statute of limitations.
