Ladies and Gentlemen:

Citrix Systems, Inc. (the “Borrower”, “Company” or “you”) have advised JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”, “we” or “us”), that you, directly or indirectly through one or more of your subsidiaries, intends to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the equity interests of Wrangler Topco, LLC (the “Target”), pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, by and among, inter alios, the Target, the Borrower and Wallaby Merger Sub LLC (the “Acquisition Agreement”), and to consummate the transactions described therein and as otherwise contemplated by this Commitment Letter (the “Transactions”). You have also advised us that the Acquisition and related fees and expenses shall be paid with the Borrower’s available cash together with (i) (A) an issuance of senior unsecured notes pursuant to a registered public offering or Rule 144A or other private placement in an aggregate principal amount of $750,000,000 (the “Notes”), and (B) borrowings under a new senior unsecured term loan facility consisting of senior unsecured term loans with a three-year term to maturity (“Three-Year Take-Out Loans”) and/or senior unsecured term loans with a five-year term to maturity (“Five-Year Take-Out Loans”), in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000 for all such term loans (such facility, the “Take-Out Facility” and, together with the Notes, the “Permanent Financing”), and (ii) to the extent the Permanent Financing is not available prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), loans under a 364-day senior unsecured bridge facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $1,450,000,000 (the “Bridge Facility”) on the terms set forth in this letter (collectively with all attachments hereto, the “Commitment Letter”). The date on which the Acquisition is consummated and on which the Bridge Facility, the Notes and/or the Take-Out Facility, as applicable, shall be funded (if not previously funded) is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

JPMorgan is pleased to advise you that it is willing to act as sole lead arranger for the Bridge Facility and “left lead” arranger for the Take-Out Facility (each, a “Facility” and, collectively, the “Facilities”).

In connection with the foregoing, (a) JPMorgan is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bridge Facility (the “Bridge Commitment”) having the terms set forth herein and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Bridge Term Sheet”), and subject solely to the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit C hereto and (b) JPMorgan is pleased to advise you of (i) its agreement to use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble a syndicate of Lenders (as defined below), to provide the necessary commitments for the Take-Out Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000,000, having the terms set forth herein and in the Summary of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Take-Out Term Sheet” and, together with the Bridge Term Sheet, the “Term Sheets”) and (ii) its commitment to provide 35% of the aggregate principal amount of any Three-Year Take-Out Loans under the Take-Out Facility and 25% of the aggregate principal


amount of any Five-Year Take-Out Loans under the Take-Out Facility (collectively, the “Take-Out Commitment”, and together with the Bridge Commitment, the “Commitments”), in each case, subject solely to the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit C hereto and to JPMorgan receiving commitments from other Lenders for the remaining 65% of the aggregate principal amount of any Three-Year Take-Out Loans under the Take-Out Facility and/or for the remaining 75% of the aggregate principal amount of any Five-Year Take-Out Loans under the Take-Out Facility (collectively, the “Uncommitted Take-Out Principal Amount). It is understood and agreed that this Commitment Letter does not constitute a commitment by JPMorgan or any of its affiliates to provide any financing with respect to, or ensure the successful syndication of, the Take-Out Facility, other than JPMorgan’s Take-Out Commitment. Furthermore, you acknowledge that this Commitment Letter is not a guarantee with respect to the successful outcome of the syndication of the Take-Out Facility.

1.    Titles and Roles

It is agreed that JPMorgan will act as the Administrative Agent in respect of each of the Facilities (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”), and that JPMorgan will act as the sole lead arranger and bookrunner for the Bridge Facility and the “left lead” arranger and bookrunner for the Take-Out Facility (in such capacities, the “Lead Arranger”); provided that the Borrower agrees that JPMorgan may perform its responsibilities hereunder through its affiliate, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC.

You agree that no other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than as expressly contemplated herein, in the Term Sheets or the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in connection with the Facilities unless you and we shall mutually so agree; provided that, with respect to the Take-Out Facility, you shall have the right to appoint (i) up to three additional Lenders (or their affiliates) as joint lead arrangers, joint book-runners and co-syndication agents in consultation with the Lead Arranger and (ii) additional Lenders as documentation agents, syndication agents or senior managing agents in consultation with the Lead Arranger; provided, however, that, it is understood and agreed that (x) JPMorgan will have “left side” designation and shall appear on the top left and shall hold the leading role and responsibility customarily associated with such “top left” placement and (y) no Lender (together with its affiliates) shall receive greater economics in respect of the Take-Out Facility than JPMorgan.

2.    Syndication

JPMorgan reserves the right, prior to or after the execution of the Credit Documentation (as defined in Exhibit B), in consultation with you (and subject to the consent rights set forth herein), to syndicate all or part of the Facilities (including, in our discretion, all or part of JPMorgan’s Commitments hereunder), in each case to a group of financial institutions (together with JPMorgan, the “Lenders”) identified by us and approved by you (with the approval of any Lender, the roles or titles awarded to any Lender, and the allocation of commitments (and commensurate economics) to any Lender to be, in each case, in your sole discretion, but it being understood that, solely with respect to the approval of Lenders, (i) you are deemed to approve (x) existing Lenders under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Facility (as defined below) and the Existing Term Loan Facility (collectively, the “Existing Lenders”) and (y) any additional potential Lender identified by us to you in writing on a “white list” prior to the date hereof and accepted by you (in your sole discretion) in a writing returned to us prior to the date hereof and (ii) you are deemed to approve as a Lender any commercial bank (x) having total assets in excess of $1,000,000,000 or (y) with a short term debt rating of “P-1” (or higher) according to Moody’s (as defined below) or “A-1” (or higher) according to S&P (as defined below); provided that any potential Lenders identified in clause (ii) shall only be approached after consultation with you (the potential Lenders in clauses (i)(y) and (ii), collectively, the “Approved Additional Lenders”); provided, further, that commitments (and commensurate economics) and, if applicable, roles and titles, shall, in each case only be allocated to Approved Additional Lenders if

the Existing Lenders (other than JPMorgan) have declined to provide the full amount of the commitments under the Facilities); provided that we agree not to syndicate the Facilities to (i) any bank, financial institution, other institutional lender or person (or affiliates of such persons that are clearly identifiable solely by similarity of name) or (ii) any competitor of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (or their respective affiliates that are clearly identifiable solely by similarity of name) which, with respect to both clauses (i) and (ii), have been separately identified as disqualified institutions for the purposes of the Facilities in writing by you to JPMorgan prior to the date hereof (with such notice to be delivered via email to ***@*** (the “Notice Email Address”) (clauses (i) and (ii) above, collectively, the “Disqualified Lenders”); provided that, (w) with respect to clause (ii) above, the Borrower shall be permitted to update such list from time to time (it being understood and agreed that such updated list shall be made available to all Lenders by means of posting on JPMorgan’s IntraLinks private-side and public-side sites or otherwise shall be permitted to be provided by JPMorgan to all Lenders, public and private), (x) any such updates to the list of Disqualified Lenders shall not become effective until after at least two (2) business days after notice thereof by the Borrower is furnished to JPMorgan at the Notice Email Address, (y) no syndication, assignment, or sale of participations entered into prior to any such update shall be retroactively disqualified due to entities that (1) are added to the list of Disqualified Lenders or (2) become competitors of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries after a trade is entered and (z) JPMorgan shall not have any liability or responsibility to ascertain, monitor, enforce or control any assignments to Disqualified Lenders. Notice of the list of Disqualified Lenders and of updates thereto shall be deemed not received and not effective if not delivered to the Notice Email Address. To the extent that any Disqualified Lender does become a Lender, its rights will be limited in a manner consistent with the provisions of the Existing Term Loan Facility governing “Disqualified Institutions”.

The commitments of JPMorgan hereunder with respect to the Bridge Facility shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of each commitment for the Bridge Facility received from additional Lenders selected in accordance with the provisions of this Commitment Letter solely to the extent that each such Lender becomes (i) party to this Commitment Letter pursuant to a joinder agreement or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you (a “Joinder Agreement”) or (ii) party to the Bridge Credit Documentation (as defined in Exhibit A) as a “Lender” thereunder. JPMorgan’s Take-Out Commitment hereunder shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount of each commitment for the Take-Out Facility received from additional Lenders selected in accordance with the provisions of this Commitment Letter only to the extent that (a) JPMorgan shall have already received commitments from Lenders for the full Uncommitted Take-Out Principal Amount, which commitments do not reduce JPMorgan’s Take-Out Commitment, and (b) each such Lender becomes (i) party to this Commitment Letter pursuant to a Joinder Agreement or (ii) party to the Take-Out Credit Documentation (as defined in Exhibit B) as a “Lender” thereunder.

JPMorgan may commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution of this Commitment Letter, and until, with respect to the Take-Out Facility, the Closing Date and, if applicable, with respect to the Bridge Facility, the earlier of (i) the date a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) has been achieved and (ii) 60 days after the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “Syndication Date”), you agree actively to assist JPMorgan in completing a syndication reasonably satisfactory to it as soon thereafter as practicable. Such assistance shall include (a) your promptly preparing and providing (and using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement, to cause the Target to prepare and provide) such customary financial and other information as we may reasonably request that is necessary to arrange and syndicate the Facilities with respect to you, the Target, your and their respective subsidiaries and the Transactions, (b) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending relationships, (c) facilitating direct contact between senior management and advisors of the Borrower (and using commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such contact with senior management and advisors of the Target, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Acquisition

Agreement), on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand, upon reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times, locations and intervals to be reasonably mutually agreed (provided that at your or our request, any or all such meetings may be conducted over telephone or video conference), (d) the hosting, with JPMorgan, of one or more meetings of prospective Lenders at reasonable times and location to be reasonably mutually agreed (provided that at your or our request, any or all such meetings may be conducted over telephone or video conference), (e) using your commercially reasonable efforts to procure, at your expense, an updated public corporate credit rating and an updated public corporate family rating from each of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moodys”) after giving effect to the Transactions (provided that you are not required to obtain any specific rating) and (f) your assistance (and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to assist, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement) in the preparation of materials (including, but not limited to, lender presentations) to be used in connection with the syndication (collectively with the Term Sheets, the Information Materials”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, your obligations to assist in syndication efforts as provided herein (including the obtaining of the ratings and the compliance with any of the provisions set forth in clauses (a) through (f) above), shall not constitute a condition to the Commitments hereunder or the funding of the Bridge Facility or the Take-Out Facility on the Closing Date, or reduce the amount of the Commitments hereunder. In connection with the Lead Arranger’s syndication efforts, you shall not be required to provide information (or to request any information from the Target), the disclosure of which would violate any (i) attorney-client privilege (and you and the Target shall not be required to waive any such privilege), (ii) law, rule or regulation applicable to the Borrower, the Target or your or its respective affiliates or (iii) obligation of confidentiality from a third party binding on you, the Target or your or its respective affiliates (so long as (x) such confidentiality obligation was not entered into in contemplation of the Transactions (other than the confidentiality obligations entered into with the Target and its equity holders in connection with the Transactions) and (y) you provide JPMorgan notice that information is being withheld due to the existence of such confidentiality obligation or attorney-client privilege).

Until the Syndication Date, you agree that there shall be no competing offering, placement or arrangement of any debt for borrowed money by or on behalf the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities without the Lead Arranger’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), other than (i) the Bridge Facility, (ii) the Take-Out Facility, (iii) the Notes, (iv) any borrowings under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2019 (the “Existing Revolving Facility”), among Citrix Systems, Inc., as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, swing line lender and l/c issuer (including pursuant to extensions, modifications, refinancings and replacements thereof and such extension, modification, refinancing and replacement thereof is made in coordination with the syndication of the Facilities by the Lead Arranger), (v) indebtedness incurred to refinance or reprice the Borrower’s existing Term Loan Credit Agreement, dated as of January 21, 2020 (the “Existing Term Loan Facility”), among Citrix Systems, Inc., as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (solely to the extent the principal amount of such refinancing indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of the Existing Term Loan Facility so refinanced plus any fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection therewith), (vi) ordinary course letter of credit facilities, overdraft protection, short term working capital facilities, ordinary course foreign credit lines (including any renewal, extension, refinancing or replacement thereof), factoring arrangements, receivables securitization arrangements, seller lending financing activities, hedging and cash management, (vii) any purchase money indebtedness, capital or synthetic lease obligations, equipment leases, indebtedness issued in connection with tenant leases (including sale-leasebacks) and similar obligations, in each case, in the ordinary course of business, (viii) debt of the Target and its subsidiaries permitted under the Acquisition Agreement and (ix) other indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding $25,000,000.

You hereby authorize JPMorgan to (a) distribute draft and execution versions of the definitive documentation relating to the Facilities to prospective Lenders, (b) download copies of the Borrower’s trademark logos from its website and post copies thereof and any Information Materials to a deal site on IntraLinks, DebtDomain, SyndTrak, ClearPar or any other electronic platform chosen by JPMorgan to be its electronic transmission system (an “Electronic Platform”) established by JPMorgan to syndicate the Facilities, and (c) use the Borrower’s trademark logos on any confidential information memoranda, presentations and other marketing materials prepared in connection with the syndication of the Facilities or, with your written consent, in any advertisements that we may place after the closing of the Closing Date Facilities (as defined below) in financial and other newspapers, journals, the World Wide Web, home page or otherwise, at their own expense describing its services to the Borrower hereunder. You also understand and acknowledge that we may provide to market data collectors, such as league table, or other service providers to the lending industry, information regarding the closing date, size, type, purpose of, and parties to, the Closing Date Facilities. “Closing Date Facilities” means the Facilities that are funded on the Closing Date.

Subject to the first paragraph in this Section 2, JPMorgan, as the Lead Arranger, will manage all aspects of the syndication in consultation with you (subject to the consent provisions set forth herein), including, without limitation, decisions as to the selection of institutions acceptable to you (including any Lenders designated by you in consultation with, and reasonably acceptable to, JPMorgan (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned)) to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate, the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders; provided that we agree not to syndicate the Facilities to any Disqualified Lender, and provided further, that the decision of which Lenders to approach and the ultimate selection of Lenders (it being understood that the Existing Lenders and the Approved Additional Lenders shall be deemed approved by you, except to the extent that any such person shall become a Disqualified Lender after the date hereof) and the allocations of the commitments among the Lenders shall be subject to your sole consent. In acting as Lead Arranger, JPMorgan will have no responsibility other than to arrange the syndication as set forth herein and is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to the Borrower with respect to the arrangement of the Facilities (including in connection with determining the terms of the Facilities) and not as a financial advisor or a fiduciary to, or an agent of, the Borrower or any other person.

3.    Information

To assist JPMorgan in its syndication efforts, you agree, subject to the provisions of Section 2 above, as soon as practicable, to prepare and provide to JPMorgan all information with respect to the Borrower, its subsidiaries and the transactions contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as we may reasonably request in connection with the arrangement and syndication of the Facilities (and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to prepare and provide, to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement, all such information with respect to the Target). You hereby represent and covenant (with respect to the Target and its subsidiaries and businesses, to the best of your knowledge) that (a) all written information other than the Projections and other forward-looking information and information of a general economic or industry specific nature (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to JPMorgan by you or any of your representatives is or will be, when furnished and taken as a whole, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto delivered to JPMorgan prior to such time and to any information contained in any public filing made by the Company with the SEC prior to such time) and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the JPMorgan by you or any of your representatives have been or will be prepared in

good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time made and furnished (it being understood that such Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, any of which are beyond your control, and that no assurance can be given that any particular Projection will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by the Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material). If you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would not be accurate and complete in any material respect at any time on or prior to the later of the Syndication Date and the Closing Date if the Information or Projections were being furnished, and all such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you agree to, and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Target to (to the extent practical and appropriate and not in contravention of the Acquisition Agreement), promptly supplement the Information and/or the Projections from time to time until the Syndication Date such that the representations and warranties contained in this paragraph remain accurate and complete in all material respects under those circumstances, and such supplementation shall cure any breach of such representation and warranty. Notwithstanding anything set forth above, the accuracy of the foregoing representations and warranties, whether cured or supplemented, and any obligation to supplement the information and projections shall not be a condition to the obligations of the Lead Arranger or JPMorgan’s commitments hereunder. You understand and agree that in arranging and syndicating the Facilities we may use and rely on, and we will be entitled to use and rely on, the Information and Projections, in each case without independent verification thereof.

4.    Fees

You agree that, once paid, the fees or any part thereof payable hereunder or under the Fee Letter shall not be refundable under any circumstances, regardless of whether the transactions or borrowings contemplated by this Commitment Letter are consummated, except as otherwise agreed in writing by you and JPMorgan. All fees payable hereunder and under the Fee Letter shall be paid in immediately available funds in U.S. Dollars, shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of (i) any fees which shall be payable to JPMorgan in its respective capacities as Lender, if applicable, and (ii) reimbursement of the JPMorgan’s reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall not be subject to reduction by way of withholding, setoff or counterclaim or be otherwise affected by any claim or dispute related to any other matter. In addition, all fees payable hereunder shall be paid without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any national, state or local taxing authority, or will be grossed up by you for such amounts.

5.    Conditions

You shall not, without the prior written consent of JPMorgan and its affiliates (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by JPMorgan unless (x) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to JPMorgan from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any JPMorgan or any injunctive relief or other non-monetary remedy.

The Borrower agrees that it will not claim that JPMorgan has rendered any advisory services or assert any claim against JPMorgan based on an alleged breach of fiduciary duty by JPMorgan in connection with this Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated hereby or assert any claim based on any actual or potential conflict of interest that might be asserted to arise or result from the engagement of JPMorgan or any of its affiliates acting as a financial advisor to the Borrower or any of its affiliates, on the one hand, and the engagement of JPMorgan hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby, on the other hand.

You further acknowledge that JPMorgan is a full service securities or banking firm engaged in securities trading and brokerage activities as well as providing investment banking and other financial services.

9.    Miscellaneous

This Commitment Letter shall not be assignable by you without our prior written consent (and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto and the Indemnified Persons. This Commitment Letter may not be amended or waived except by an instrument in writing signed by you and us. This Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets and the Fee Letter are the only agreements that have been entered into among us with respect to the Facilities and set forth the entire understanding of the parties with respect thereto. JPMorgan may, in consultation with you, assign its commitments and agreements hereunder, in whole or in part, to any of its affiliates, or subject to your sole consent, to additional arrangers or other Lenders; provided, that in any case, such assignment shall not relieve us of our obligations set forth herein to fund on the Closing Date that portion of the commitments so assigned except to the extent such assignment is evidenced by a Joinder Agreement or the Credit Documentation, as applicable, as set forth in Section 2 above.

This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.

This Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets and the Fee Letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York; provided, however, that the laws of the State of Delaware shall govern in determining (A) the interpretation of a Material Adverse Effect and whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, (B) the accuracy of any Acquisition Agreement Representation and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof you or your affiliates have the right (without regard to any notice requirement) to terminate your or their respective obligations (or to refuse to consummate the

 

11


Acquisition) under the Acquisition Agreement and (C) whether the Acquisition has been consummated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement (in each case without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Delaware). The Borrower consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan (or if such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan). Each party hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (a) any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheets, the Fee Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) and (b) any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such legal proceeding in the federal or state courts located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan.

JPMorgan hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “PATRIOT Act”), we and each of the Lenders may be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information may include its name, address, tax identification number, a certification regarding beneficial ownership as required by 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230 (such certification, the “Beneficial Ownership Certification”) and other information that will allow us and the Lenders to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the PATRIOT Act and is effective for each of JPMorgan and each of its affiliates and the Lenders.

The compensation, expense reimbursement, jurisdiction, limitation of liability, indemnification, settlement, sharing of information, affiliate activities, governing law, service of process, venue, waiver of jury trial, absence of fiduciary duty, information, syndication and confidentiality provisions contained herein and in the Fee Letter shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether definitive documentation relating to the Facilities shall be executed and delivered and notwithstanding the termination of this Commitment Letter or the commitments of JPMorgan hereunder; provided, that your obligations under this Commitment Letter, other than with respect to compensation, expense reimbursement, jurisdiction, syndication, sharing of information, affiliate activities, governing law, service of process, venue, waiver of jury trial, absence of fiduciary duty and confidentiality shall automatically terminate and be superseded by the provisions of the definitive documentation relating to such Facility upon the initial funding thereunder, and you shall automatically be released from all liability in connection therewith at such time; provided, further, that your obligations under this Commitment Letter with respect to limitation of liability and indemnification shall, solely to the extent comparable provisions are included in definitive documentation relating to such Facility, automatically terminate and be superseded by the provisions of the definitive documentation relating to such Facility upon the initial funding thereunder.

Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Commitment Letter.
