The execution, delivery, and performance by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the consummation by the Purchaser of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all necessary action by the Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Purchaser and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws from time to time in effect that affect creditors’ rights generally, and by legal and equitable limitations on the availability of specific remedies.

The Purchaser represents and acknowledges that: (A) it is an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act), with sufficient knowledge and experience in transactions comparable to the Transactions to evaluate the merits and risks of this Agreement; (B) it is purchasing the Transaction Shares solely for its own account; and (C) the Seller is relying upon such acknowledgements and representations, as well as the other acknowledgments set forth elsewhere in this Section 5, as a condition to entering into this Agreement.

(ii)    The Purchaser acknowledges that the sole purposes of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3(d), Section 3(e), Section 3(f), Section 4(c), Section 4(d), Section 4(e) and Section 4(f) of this Agreement are to enable the Purchaser, at its option, to (A) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(a)(iv) of this Agreement if the condition set forth in Section 6(b)(i) of this Agreement is not satisfied and (B) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10(a)(v) of this Agreement if the condition set forth in Section 7(b)(i) of this Agreement is not satisfied. The Purchaser acknowledges that, subject to the rights retained by the Purchaser under Section 5(f), the failure of such representations and warranties to be true and correct shall not constitute a basis for any claim by the Purchaser for damages (whether raised before or after the consummation of the Initial Closing or the Second Closing), rescission or any other remedy other than termination of this Agreement to the extent contemplated by Section 10(a)(iv) and Section 10(a)(v) of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that if the Initial Closing has been consummated, and the Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Second Closing in accordance with Section 10(a)(v) of this Agreement, then the Purchaser shall have no right of rescission, no claim for damages and no other remedy with respect to the Initial Closing, other than those rights retained by the Purchaser under Section 5(f). If any such claim (for damages, rescission or any other remedy other than such termination) may exist, the Purchaser, recognizing its disclaimer of reliance and the Seller’s and the Company’s reliance on such disclaimer as a condition to entering into this Agreement, covenants and agrees not to assert any such claim against the Seller, Cerberus Capital Management, L.P.

(iii)    The Purchaser has advised the Seller that with respect to matters relating to the Company not covered by Section 3(d), Section 3(e), Section 3(f), Section 4(c), Section 4(d), Section 4(e) and Section 4(f) (the “Other Matters”) of this Agreement, the Purchaser intends to base its determination to proceed solely on publicly available information, even if there is a material discrepancy between publicly available information and information that has not yet been publicly disclosed. The Purchaser is voluntarily assuming all risks associated with information provided by the Company to the Seller or its representatives with respect to the Other Matters (the “Company Information”) and expressly warrants and represents that (x) the Purchaser disclaims the existence of, or its reliance on, any representation by the Seller concerning the Company Information and (y) the Purchaser is not relying on any disclosure or non-disclosure made or not made, or the completeness thereof, in connection with or arising out of the Company Information, and therefore has no claims against the Seller, CCM, COAC, Oak Hill, the Company or any of the Seller’s, CCM’s, COAC’s, Oak Hill’s or the Company’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, representatives, agents or Affiliates with respect to the Company Information. If any such claim may exist, the Purchaser, recognizing its disclaimer of reliance and the Seller’s and the Company’s reliance on such disclaimer as a condition to entering into this Agreement, covenants and agrees not to assert any such claim against the Seller, CCM, COAC, Oak Hill, the Company or any of the Seller’s, CCM’s, COAC’s.

Company and that COAC is an Affiliate of CCM.

The Purchaser acknowledges that some of such Company Information is not or may not be known by the Purchaser and has not been disclosed to the Purchaser by the Seller.

(e)Required Protections. The Purchaser wishes to enter into the Transactions for the Purchaser’s own business and investment purposes. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller would not enter into the Transactions with the Purchaser in the absence of the protections afforded to the Seller by the Purchaser’s representations, warranties and agreements set forth in this Section 5, and the releases and waivers set forth in this Section 5 and elsewhere in this Agreement. The Purchaser further acknowledges that the Purchaser is providing such representations, warranties, agreements, releases and waivers contained in this Agreement as a material and necessary inducement to the Seller to consummate the Transactions (without which the Seller would not consummate the Transactions).

(f)Waivers and Releases. Except in the case of common law fraud and except with respect to the right to terminate all or portions of this Agreement as contemplated by Section 5(d)(ii) and Section 10(a) of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby irrevocably waives any and all actions, causes of action, rights or claims, whether known or unknown, contingent or matured, and whether currently existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, claims it may have or hereafter acquire under applicable federal and/or state securities laws, statutory fraud or any other applicable laws, that the Purchaser may have or hereafter acquire against the Seller, CCM, COAC, Oak Hill or the Seller’s, CCM’s, COAC’s or Oak Hill’s officers, directors, shareholders, partners, representatives, agents or Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Released Persons” and each, individually, a “Seller Released Person”), in each case, in any way, directly or indirectly, arising out of, relating to or resulting from the Seller’s, CCM’s, COAC’s, Oak Hill’s or any such other person’s failure to disclose the Company Information or any other information to the Purchaser. The Purchaser also agrees that it shall not institute or maintain any cause of action, suit, complaint or other proceeding against any Seller Released Person, in each case, directly or indirectly related to or in any way as a result of the Seller’s, CCM’s, COAC’s, Oak Hill’s or any such other person’s failure to disclose the Company Information or any other information to the Purchaser. The Purchaser intends to effect, to the maximum extent permitted by law, a complete and knowing waiver of the Purchaser’s rights as set forth in this Section 5(f). Each of the terms of the waivers and releases set forth in this Section 5(f) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchaser is not waiving any claims for breaches of the representations and warranties that survive the Initial Closing or the Second Closing, in each case as set forth in Section 26, and the Purchaser is not waiving any claims that may arise against the Company under applicable Law.
