Upon surrender of a Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate to Parent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by Parent, the holder of such Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Parent Series E Preferred that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Section 1, and the Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.10, each Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate shall be

5.


 

deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender a certificate representing shares of Parent Series E Preferred (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Series E Preferred) contemplated by this Section 1. If any Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of any certificate representing Parent Series E Preferred, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate.
          (b) No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Series E Preferred with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Series E Preferred represented thereby, and no cash payment including any cash amount in lieu of any fractional share shall be paid to any such holder, until such holder surrenders such Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate in accordance with this Section 1.10 (at which time such holder shall be entitled to receive all such dividends and distributions and such cash payment).
          (c) No fractional shares of Parent Series E Preferred shall be issued in connection with the Merger, and no certificates for any such fractional shares shall be issued. In lieu of such fractional shares, any holder of capital stock of the Company who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Series E Preferred (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Series E Preferred issuable to such holder) shall, upon surrender of such holder’s Company Series E-1 Preferred Stock Certificate(s), be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Designated Parent Stock Price.
          (d) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of capital stock of the Company pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent or the Surviving Corporation may be required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
          (e) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable to any holder or former holder of capital stock of the Company for any shares of Parent Series E Preferred (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
     1.11 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any share of Company Capital Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which is held by a stockholder who did not consent to or vote in favor of the approval of this Agreement, which stockholder complies with all of the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL and, if applicable by virtue of Section 2115 of the CGCL, Chapter 13 of the CGCL, relevant to the exercise of dissenters’ rights (such share being a “Dissenting Share,” and such stockholder being a “Dissenting Stockholder”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration to which the holder of such share of Company Capital Stock would be

6.


 

entitled pursuant to Section 1.5, but rather shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to such Dissenting Share pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and, if applicable by virtue of Section 2115 of the CGCL, Chapter 13 of the CGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect such stockholder’s dissenters’ rights under Section 262 of the DGCL and, if applicable by virtue of Section 2115 of the CGCL, Chapter 13 of the CGCL, or effectively withdraws or otherwise loses such rights with respect to any Dissenting Shares, such Dissenting Shares shall thereupon automatically be converted into the right to receive the consideration referred to in Section 1.5, without any interest thereon, subject to the exchange procedures set forth in Section 1.10. The Company shall give Parent (a) prompt notice of any demand for payment of the fair value of any shares of Company Capital Stock or any attempted withdrawal of any such demand for payment and any other instrument served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and, if applicable by virtue of Section 2115 of the CGCL, Chapter 13 of the CGCL, and received by the Company relating to any stockholder’s dissenters’ rights, and (b) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and Legal Proceedings with respect to any such demands for payment under Section 262 of the DGCL and, if applicable by virtue of Section 2115 of the CGCL, Chapter 13 of the CGCL. The Company shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or make a binding offer to settle, any such demand for payment at any time prior to the Closing, unless the Company shall have first obtained Parent’s prior written consent.
     1.12 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

               (iii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Parent contained in this Agreement; or
               (iv) any Legal Proceeding directly or indirectly to any breach, alleged breach, liability or matter of the type referred to in clause “(i),” “(ii),” or “(iii)” above (including any Legal Proceeding commenced by any Company Indemnitee for the purpose of enforcing any of his, her or its rights under this Section 9).
          (b) Subject to Section 9.4(d), the Company Indemnitees shall not be entitled to any indemnification payment pursuant to Sections 9.4(a)(i) or 9.4(a)(ii) for any inaccuracy in or breach as set forth in such Sections, until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy in or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies in or breaches of any representations or warranties set forth in Section 3) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Company Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Company Indemnitees has or have

53.


 

otherwise become subject, exceeds the Threshold Amount. At such time as the cumulative amount of such Damages exceeds the Threshold Amount in the aggregate, the Company Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover only the amount of such Damages in excess of the Threshold Amount.
          (c) Subject to Section 9.4(d), except with respect to inaccuracies in or breaches of the Specified Representations made by Parent, the Company Indemnitees shall not be entitled to any indemnification payment pursuant to Sections 9.4(a)(i) or 9.4(a)(ii) for any inaccuracy in or breach as set forth in such Sections in excess of an aggregate amount equal to the Cap Amount. Subject to Section 9.4(d), in all cases (including with respect to inaccuracies in or breaches of the Specified Representations made by the Parent), the maximum liability with respect to indemnification payments pursuant to Section 9.4(a) shall not exceed the Maximum Amount.
          (d) The limitations set forth in Sections 9.4(b) and 9.4(c) shall not apply in the case of fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional misconduct. Except with respect to: (i) fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional misconduct; or (ii) any equitable remedy, including a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance, claims for indemnification brought in accordance with this Section 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Company Indemnities after Closing for monetary Damages arising under or in connection with the Merger and this Agreement.
     9.5 Satisfaction of Parent Indemnitee Indemnification Claims.
          (a) For the purpose of recovering indemnification payments for which the Parent Indemnitees may be entitled under this Section 9, the Parent Indemnitees shall, subject in all cases to the limitations contained in this Section 9, seek satisfaction of any such indemnification obligations as follows:
               (i) First, the Parent Indemnitees shall seek satisfaction of any such indemnification obligations from property held under the Escrow Agreement and through set-off rights against Carve-Out Payments, as follows. With respect to the Damages related to any indemnification obligation, 72.46% of the Damages shall be satisfied by the Selling Stockholders via delivery of shares of Parent Series E Preferred (or other property) held under the Escrow Agreement, and 27.54% of the amount of the Damages shall be satisfied by the Carve-Out Recipients via set-off against Carve-Out Payments to be made on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (pro rata against the Carve-Out Payments to be made to all Carve-Our Recipients).
               (ii) Second, if the Parent Indemnitees are not, following such delivery and set-off, completely indemnified (the amount of such Damages which are not so indemnified are referred to as “Unsatisfied Damages”), the Selling Stockholders and the Carve-Out Recipients, severally and not jointly, shall hold harmless and indemnify the Parent Indemnitees from and against all Unsatisfied Damages. In such case, 72.46% of the Unsatisfied Damages shall be satisfied by the Selling Stockholders via delivery of shares of Parent Series E Preferred (or other property) (and, in the event any such shares of Parent Series E Preferred held by the Selling Stockholders have been sold, in cash), and 27.54% of the amount of the Unsatisfied Damages shall be satisfied by the Carve-Out Recipients via set-off against Carve-Out Payments to be made on the third anniversary of the Closing Date (or, if the entire amount of Carve-Out Payments to be made on the third anniversary of the Closing Date have previously been set-off,

54.


 

then against Carve-Out Payments to be made on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and if the entire amount of Carve-Out Payments to be made on the second anniversary of the Closing Date have previously been set-off, then against Carve-Out Payments to be made on the first anniversary of the Closing Date) (in each case, pro rata against the Carve-Out Payments to be made to all Carve-Out Recipients).
               (iii) Except with respect to fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional misconduct, in no event shall the liability of any Selling Stockholder or Carve-Out Recipient in respect of any indemnification payments made pursuant to Sections 9.3(a)(i) and 9.3(a)(ii) for any inaccuracy in or breach as set forth in such Sections (other than any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations contained in Section 2.24 and any inaccuracy in or breach of the Specified Representations made by the Company, Tax Representations and Benefits Representations) exceed such Person’s Pro Rata Share of the Cap Amount.
               (iv) Subject to the limitations contained in Section 9.5(a)(iii) above with respect to indemnification payments made pursuant to Sections 9.3(a)(i) and 9.3(a)(ii), except with respect to fraud, willful misrepresentation or intentional misconduct, in no event shall the liability of any Selling Stockholder or Carve-Out Recipient in respect of any indemnification payments made pursuant to Sections 9.3(a) exceed such Person’s Pro Rata Share of the Maximum Amount.
          (b) To the extent that any indemnification obligations are to be satisfied by delivery of shares of Parent Series E Preferred (or other property) held under the Escrow Agreement, such obligations shall be satisfied by disbursing a number of shares of Parent Series E Preferred to the Parent determined by dividing (i) the aggregate dollar amount of such obligations by (ii) the Designated Parent Stock Price (as adjusted as appropriate to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger, reorganization, reclassification or other similar transaction effected by Parent between the Effective Time and the date such obligation is satisfied). If the shares of Parent Series E Preferred have been converted into shares of Parent Common Stock, then equitable adjustments in the foregoing formula shall be made to take into account the relative conversion ratio.
          (c) In the event any Damages related to a claim by Parent Indemnities under this Agreement are covered by any of the Parent’s or Company’s insurance policies, Parent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include the commencement of litigation) to seek recovery under such insurance and the amount of Damages incurred by Parent for purposes of this Agreement shall be reduced by the actual amount Parent recovers from any insurer (net of any costs of collecting such insurance payment, including the amount of any co-payment or deductible, as determined by correspondence from the insurance carrier or insurance broker to Parent, a copy which shall have been provided to the Agent).
     9.6 Indemnification Procedures.
          (a) The indemnified party (or parties) shall promptly notify the indemnifying party (or parties) of any third-party claim, demand, action or Legal Proceeding for which indemnification will or may be sought under Sections 9.3 or 9.4 (a “Third Party Claim”), but in no event later than ten (10) business days after receiving notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability hereunder in respect of such claim except to the extent the

55.


 

indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result of such failure, including where failure results in losses to the indemnifying party or the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses that would otherwise be available in the defense of such claim. Such notice shall specify facts reasonably known to the indemnified party (or parties) giving rise to such indemnity rights. The indemnifying party will have the right, at its expense, to assume the defense thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party elects not to assume the defense or fails to notify the indemnified party within ten (10) business days after delivery of the indemnified party’s notice of such Third Party Claim, that it will assume the defense, then the indemnified party may employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnifying party to represent or defend it against any such Third Party Claim and the indemnifying party will pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any Legal Proceeding or any separate but substantially similar Legal Proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all indemnified persons, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required to effectively defend against such Legal Proceeding. If the indemnifying party does assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the indemnifying party shall have no obligation in respect of the indemnified party’s expenses; provided, that the indemnified party shall have the right to participate in, at its own expense, but not control, the defense of any such Third Party Claim. In connection with any Third Party Claim, the Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith in such manner to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all business records and the attorney-client work-product and any other potentially applicable privileges and to render each other assistance as they may reasonably require. No Third Party Claim shall be settled (i) without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party and (ii) without the prior written consent of the indemnified party unless such settlement provides for no relief other than the payment of monetary damages for which the relevant indemnified parties will be indemnified in full.
          (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a direct claim for indemnification under Sections 9.3 or 9.4 other than a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), the indemnified party (or parties) shall give a Claim Notice to the indemnifying party (or parties) providing indemnification under this Section 10, as applicable, of such Direct Claim; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from liability hereunder in respect of such claim except to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the indemnified party is a Parent Indemnitee and is seeking to enforce such claim pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the indemnifying party shall deliver a copy of the Claim Notice to the Escrow Agent.
          (c) Within thirty (30) days after receipt by the indemnifying party of a Claim Notice, the indemnifying party may deliver to the indemnified party a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the indemnifying party: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount (the “Full Amount”) is owed to the indemnified party (in which case the Response Notice shall be accompanied by a payment by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of the Claimed Amount, by check or by wire transfer; provided, that if the indemnified party is a Parent Indemnitee and is seeking to enforce such claim pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the indemnifying party shall also deliver a copy of the Response Notice to the Escrow Agent and instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Full Amount to the indemnified party); (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the indemnified party (in which case the Response Notice shall be accompanied by a payment by the

56.


 

indemnifying party to the indemnified party of the Agreed Amount, by check or by wire transfer; provided, that if the indemnified party is a Parent Indemnitee and is seeking to enforce such claim pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the indemnifying party shall also deliver a copy of the Response Notice to the Escrow Agent and instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse the Agreed Amount to the indemnified party); or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the indemnified party. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be released to the indemnified party pursuant to the Response Notice shall be the “Contested Amount.” If the Response Notice is not received by the indemnified party within such 30-day period, then the indemnifying party shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that the Full Amount is owed to the indemnified party.
          (d) If the indemnifying party delivers a Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the indemnified party and the indemnifying party resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, and if the indemnified party is Parent Indemnitee, a settlement agreement shall be signed by the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and sent to the Escrow Agent.
          (e) In all cases under this Section 9, if the indemnified party is a Parent Indemnitee, the indemnifying party shall deliver a copy of the Claim Notice and all other related notices hereunder to the Agent.

60.


 

          (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws).
          (b) Except as provided in Section 10.8(d) below, any Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement may be brought or otherwise commenced in any state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party to this Agreement, and each Selling Stockholder and Carve-Out Recipient:
               (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each state and federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware (and each appellate court located in Wilmington, Delaware) in connection with any such Legal Proceeding;
               (ii) agrees that each state and federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware shall be deemed to be a convenient forum;
               (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such Legal Proceeding commenced in any state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such Legal Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Legal Proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court; and
               (iv) agrees that a final judgment in any Legal Proceeding in any such court shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
          (c) Each party hereto, and each Selling Stockholder and Carve-Out Recipient, irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
          (d) Each party hereto, and each Selling Stockholder and Carve-Out Recipient, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to submit to binding arbitration any dispute between any such party of any claim by a party against another party arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, or relating to any alleged breach hereof or thereof, in accordance with the rules then in force of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration proceedings shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware or such other location as the parties in dispute may agree upon. The arbitration proceedings shall be subject to the substantive laws of the State of Delaware. There shall be one arbitrator, as agreed upon by the parties in dispute, who shall be an individual skilled in the legal and business aspects of the subject matter of this Agreement and of the dispute. In the absence of such an agreement, each party in dispute shall select one arbitrator and the arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator. In the event the arbitrators cannot agree upon the selection of a third arbitrator, such third arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association at the request of any of the parties in dispute. The decision rendered by the arbitrator shall be accompanied by a written opinion in support thereof. Such decision shall be final and binding upon the parties in dispute without any right of appeal. Judgment upon any such decision may be entered into in any court having jurisdiction thereof, or application may be made to such court for a judicial

61.


 

acceptance of the decision in an order of enforcement. Costs of the arbitration shall be assessed by the arbitrator against all or any of the parties in dispute and shall be paid promptly by the party or parties so assessed.
          (e) A request by a party to a court for interim equitable or injunctive relief to protect and secure his, her or its rights under this Agreement pending arbitration shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right to arbitrate. Furthermore, each party to this Agreement, and each Selling Stockholder and Carve-Out Recipient, irrevocable and unconditionally agree to submit any such request exclusively to a state or federal court located in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party to this Agreement, and each Selling Stockholder and Carve-Out Recipient, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the personal jurisdiction of such courts and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court any defense that such court does not have personal jurisdiction over him, her or it; each party to this Agreement, and each Selling Stockholder and Carve-Out Recipient, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of such request in such courts and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an improper venue or in an inconvenient forum.
          (f) Nothing in this Agreement will limit any party’s right to seek immediate injunctive or other equitable relief whenever the facts or circumstances would permit a party to seek such relief in any court specified in Section 10.8(b).
     10.9 Successors and Assigns.
          (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon: the Company and its successors and permitted assigns (if any); Parent and Merger Sub, and their successors and permitted assigns (if any); and Agent and its successors and permitted assigns (if any). This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of: the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the other Parent Indemnitees, the Agent, and the respective successors and permitted assigns (if any) of the foregoing.
          (b) Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no consent of the Company or Agent shall be required with respect to any assignment by Parent or Merger Sub to any lender as part of a collateral assignment. Any attempted or purported assignment by any party of this Agreement in violation of this Section 10.9 shall be null and void.
     10.10 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement for the benefit of any other party to this Agreement, such other party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to (a) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.
     10.11 Waiver.

62.


 

          (a) No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.
          (b) No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
     10.12 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or supplemented other than by means of a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of all of the parties hereto.
     10.13 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.
     10.14 Parties in Interest. Except for the provisions of Sections 1.5, 1.8, 3, 5.7 and 9, none of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (if any). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) except as provided in the previous sentence, no employee of the Company shall have any rights under this Agreement or under any of the other agreements related to the Merger, and (b) no creditor of the Company shall have any rights under this Agreement or any other agreements related to the Merger.
     10.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, that the Non-Disclosure Agreement shall not be superseded by this Agreement and shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms until the earlier of (a) the Effective Time, or (b) the date on which such Non-Disclosure Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms.

63.
