Each of CCI and CMOF shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, (ii) ensure that the Form S-4 complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act and (iii) keep the Form S-4 effective for so long as necessary to permit the CCI Class A Common Stock to be issued in the Company Merger, unless this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1. Each of CCI and CMOF shall furnish all information concerning itself, its Affiliates and the holders of its capital stock to such other Party and provide such other assistance as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Form S-4 and the CMOF Proxy Materials and shall provide to their and each other’s counsel such representations as reasonably necessary to render the opinions required to be filed therewith. The Form S-4 and the CMOF Proxy Materials shall include all information reasonably requested by such other Party to be included therein. CCI shall promptly notify CMOF upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Form S-4, and shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide CMOF with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, and all written comments with respect to the Form S-4 received from the SEC and advise the other Party of any oral comments with respect to the Form S-4 received from the SEC. CCI shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Form S-4, and CMOF shall reasonably cooperate in responding to such comments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Form S-4 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) with the SEC or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, each of CMOF and CCI shall cooperate and provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments provided by the other Party. CCI shall notify CMOF, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time of effectiveness of the Form S-4, the issuance of any stop order relating thereto or the suspension of the qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction of the Registered Securities, and CCI and CMOF shall use their reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated. CCI shall also use its reasonable best efforts to take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the Registered Securities, and CMOF shall furnish all information concerning CMOF and its stockholders as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions.

All documents that CCI is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent relating to CCI and the CCI Subsidiaries (or other information supplied by or on behalf of CCI or any CCI Subsidiaries for inclusion therein) will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. The covenants contained in this Section 7.1(b) will not apply to statements or omissions to the extent based upon information supplied to the CCI Parties by or on behalf of the CMOF Parties.

The covenants contained in this Section 7.1(c) will not apply to statements or omissions to the extent based upon information supplied to the CCI Parties by or on behalf of the CMOF Parties.

(d) If, at any time prior to the receipt of the Stockholder Approval, any information relating to CCI or CMOF, as the case may be, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by CCI or CMOF which, in the reasonable judgment of CCI or CMOF, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, either the Form S-4 or the CMOF Proxy Materials, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and CCI and CMOF shall cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Form S-4 or modification of the CMOF Proxy Materials and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to stockholders of CCI or CMOF. Nothing in this Section 7.1(d) shall limit the obligations of any Party under Section 7.1(a).

51

(e) As promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, CMOF shall, in accordance with applicable Law and the CMOF Governing Documents, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the CMOF Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Stockholder Approval (and other matters that shall be submitted to the holders of CMOF Common Stock at such meeting); provided, that such record date shall not be more than 90 days prior to the date of the CMOF Stockholders Meeting. CMOF shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the CMOF Proxy Materials to be mailed to CMOF’s stockholders entitled to vote at the CMOF Stockholders Meeting and to hold the CMOF Stockholders Meeting as soon as practicable after the Form S-4 is declared effective under the Securities Act. CMOF shall, through the CMOF Board, recommend to its stockholders that they give the Stockholder Approval, include the CMOF Board Recommendation in the CMOF Proxy Materials and solicit and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Stockholder Approval, except to the extent that the CMOF Board shall have made an Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 7.3; provided, however, that CMOF’s obligation to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the CMOF Stockholders Meeting shall be unconditional unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms and shall not be affected by any Adverse Recommendation Change. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1(c), if, on a date for which the CMOF Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, CMOF has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of CMOF Common Stock to obtain the Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, CMOF shall make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the CMOF Stockholders Meeting (provided, however, that the CMOF Stockholders Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned to a date that is (i) more than 30 days after the date for which the CMOF Stockholders Meeting was originally scheduled (excluding any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Law) or (ii) more than 120 days from the record date for the CMOF Stockholders Meeting); provided, further, the CMOF Stockholders Meeting may not be postponed or adjourned on the date the CMOF Stockholders Meeting is scheduled if CMOF shall have received proxies in respect of an aggregate number of shares of CMOF Common Stock, which have not been withdrawn, such that the Stockholder Approval would be obtained at such meeting.

Section 7.2 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to and including the Company Merger Effective Time, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective subsidiaries to, subject to applicable Law and any COVID-19 Measures, afford to the other Parties and to their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to all of their respective properties, offices, books and records that the other Party may reasonably request and, during such period, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective subsidiaries to and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, furnish reasonably promptly to the other Parties a copy of any report, schedule, registration statement or other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws as the other Party may reasonably request. In connection with such reasonable access to information, each of the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause its respective Representatives to participate in meetings and telephone conferences with the other Parties and their Representatives prior to the mailing of the CMOF Proxy Materials and the Prospectus included in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 and at such other times as may be reasonably requested. No investigation under this Section 7.2(a) or otherwise shall affect any of the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement or any condition to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parties shall be required by this Section 7.2(a) to provide the other Parties or their respective Representatives with access to or to disclose information (i) that is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary course of business in accordance with this Agreement (provided, however, that the withholding Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (without payment of any consideration, fees or expenses) to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure), (ii) of a sensitive or personal nature that would reasonably be expected to expose the CMOF Parties or the CCI Parties to the risk of liability, (iii) the disclosure of which would violate any Law applicable to such Party or any of its Representatives (provided, however, that the withholding Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of any Law or duty), (iv) that is subject to any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege (provided, however, that the withholding Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of any such attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege, including by means of entry into a customary joint defense agreement that would alleviate the loss of such privilege) or (v) for the purpose of allowing Parties or their respective Representatives to collect samples of soil, air, water, groundwater or building materials. The Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to minimize any disruption to the businesses of the other Parties and any of their respective subsidiaries that may result from the requests for access, data and information hereunder.

52

(b) Each Party will hold, and will cause its respective Representatives and Affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information, including any information exchanged pursuant to this Section 7.2, in confidence to the extent required by and in accordance with, and will otherwise comply with, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to the terms thereof notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the termination thereof.

Section 7.3 No Solicitation; Superior Proposals.

(a) Except as expressly permitted by this Section 7.3, CMOF shall not, and shall cause each of the CMOF Subsidiaries and shall direct each of its and their respective directors, officers, Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, facilitate or knowingly encourage any inquiries, proposals or offers for, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to, any inquiry, proposal, offer or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding or otherwise in furtherance of, or furnish to any Person other than the CCI Parties or their Representatives, any information in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating any inquiry, proposal, offer or other action that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, or to otherwise obtain, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) release any Person from or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement, standstill agreement or similar obligation (provided that CMOF shall be permitted to waive or not enforce any provision of any confidentiality agreement, standstill agreement or similar obligation to permit a Person to make a confidential Acquisition Proposal directly to the CMOF Special Committee if the CMOF Special Committee determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that any such failure to waive or not enforce would be inconsistent with the CMOF directors’ duties under applicable Law), (iv) enter into any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable NDA), or (v) take any action to exempt any Person from any Takeover Statute or similar restrictive provision of the CMOF Charter, the bylaws of CMOF or the organizational documents or agreements of any CMOF Subsidiary. In furtherance of the foregoing, CMOF shall, and shall cause each CMOF Subsidiary and each Representative of CMOF and the CMOF Subsidiaries to, immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or communications with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal and use reasonable efforts to cause such Person to return or destroy all non-public information concerning CMOF and the CMOF Subsidiaries to the extent permitted pursuant to any confidentiality agreement with such Person and promptly terminate all physical and electronic data room access granted to such Person.

53

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the time, but not after, the Stockholder Approval is obtained, CMOF and its Representatives may, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 7.3, (i) contact such Person to clarify the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and (ii)(A) provide information in response to a request therefor by the Person who made such written Acquisition Proposal, provided that (1) such information is provided pursuant to (and only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable NDAs, and (2) CMOF, prior to or concurrently with the time such information is provided, provides such information to CCI, and (B) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with the Person who made such written Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that, in each such case referred to in clause (A) or (B) above, the CMOF Special Committee has either determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(c) CMOF will promptly (and in any event no later than 24 hours after receipt thereof) notify CCI in writing if (i) any Acquisition Proposal is received by CMOF or any CMOF Subsidiary, (ii) any request for information relating to CMOF or any CMOF Subsidiary is received by CMOF or any CMOF Subsidiary from any Person who informs CMOF or any CMOF Subsidiary that it is considering making or has made an Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated with CMOF or any CMOF Subsidiary regarding any Acquisition Proposal, and thereafter shall promptly (and in any event no later than 24 hours after the occurrence of such developments, discussions or negotiations or receipt of materials) keep CCI reasonably informed of all material developments, discussions and negotiations concerning any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

(d) Except as expressly provided herein, neither the CMOF Board, nor any committee thereof, nor any group of directors, formally or informally, shall: (i) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify or announce its intention to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in each case in a manner adverse to CCI, the CMOF Board Recommendation, (ii) authorize, approve, endorse, declare advisable, adopt or recommend or announce its intention to authorize, approve, endorse, declare advisable, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) authorize, cause or permit CMOF or any CMOF Subsidiary to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement, (iv) take any formal action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for CMOF Common Stock other than a recommendation against such offer, or (v) fail to make the CMOF Board Recommendation or to include the CMOF Board Recommendation in the CMOF Proxy Materials (any event described in clauses (i)-(v), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if CMOF receives an Acquisition Proposal, which Acquisition Proposal did not result from a material breach of this Section 7.3 and is not withdrawn, and the CMOF Special Committee determines that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal or that failure to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement for such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the CMOF directors’ duties under applicable Law, then, provided that the Stockholder Approval has not yet been obtained, the CMOF Board (or the CMOF Special Committee) may (x) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (y) enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement relating to or implementing the Superior Proposal and terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(c)(ii) (Superior Proposal); provided, that, in the case of each of clause (x) and (y), the CMOF Board may not take action contemplated by this Section 7.3(e) unless:

(i) CMOF has notified CCI in writing that the CMOF Board intends to take such action at least five Business Days in advance of effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or entering into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such action, describe the material terms of the Superior Proposal and attach the most current version of such agreements (including any amendments, supplements or modifications) between CMOF and the party making such Superior Proposal (a “CMOF Change Notice”); and

54

(ii) during the five Business Day period following CCI’s receipt of a CMOF Change Notice, CMOF shall, and shall direct its outside financial and outside legal advisors to, negotiate in good faith with CCI (to the extent CCI wishes to negotiate) to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the Superior Proposal ceases to constitute (in the good faith determination of the CMOF Board or the CMOF Special Committee, after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors) a Superior Proposal; provided, that any amendment, supplement or modification to any Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a new Acquisition Proposal and CMOF may not enter into any agreement relating to the Superior Proposal pursuant to this Section 7.3(e) or make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this Section 7.3(e) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) (Superior Proposal) unless CMOF has complied with the requirements of this Section 7.3(e) with respect to such new Acquisition Proposal including sending an additional CMOF Change Notice (except that the new negotiation period under this Section 7.3(e)(ii) shall be three Business Days instead of five Business Days). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.3(e)(ii), neither CCI’s acceptance nor rejection of CMOF’s offer to negotiate pursuant to this Section 7.3(e)(ii) shall have any bearing on CCI’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii) (Adverse Recommendation Change/Other Company Actions) herein.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time after the date of this Agreement and before the Stockholder Approval is obtained, the CMOF Board (or the CMOF Special Committee) may, if the CMOF Board (or the CMOF Special Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the duties of directors under applicable Law, make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event; provided, that (i) prior to making such Adverse Recommendation Change, CMOF shall have (A) promptly notified CCI in writing of its intention to take such action (it being understood that such a notification shall not, itself, constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), and (B) negotiated in good faith with CCI (if requested by CCI in writing) for five Business Days following such notice regarding any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed by CCI, and (ii) the CMOF Special Committee and the CMOF Board shall not effect any Adverse Recommendation Change involving or relating to an Intervening Event unless, after the period of five Business Days described in the foregoing clause (B), the CMOF Special Committee and the CMOF Board determine in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the duties of the CMOF directors under applicable Law.

(g) Nothing in this Section 7.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the CMOF Special Committee, the CMOF Board or the CMOF Parties, directly or indirectly, from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of CMOF a position with respect to an Acquisition Proposal as contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any required disclosure to the stockholders of CMOF under applicable Law, if the CMOF Board (or the CMOF Special Committee) determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the duties of the CMOF directors under applicable Law; provided, however, that to the extent any such disclosure affirmatively addresses the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the CMOF Special Committee or the CMOF Board with respect to this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal, such disclosure shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change if not accompanied by an express public affirmation of the CMOF Board Recommendation.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of CMOF, any CMOF Subsidiary or their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall reimburse or agree to reimburse the fees or expenses of any Person in connection with an Acquisition Proposal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any Acceptable NDA but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any acquisition agreement or merger with respect to a Superior Proposal entered into pursuant to this Section 7.3 and resulting in termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)).

55

(i) CMOF agrees that in the event any Representative of CMOF or any CMOF Subsidiary takes any action that, if taken by CMOF would constitute a violation of this Section 7.3, then CMOF shall be deemed to be in violation of this Section 7.3 for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 7.4 Public Announcements. Except with respect to any Adverse Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 7.1 or Section 7.3, so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements or filings with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and none of the Parties shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement or filing prior to obtaining the other Parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), provided, that a Party may, without obtaining the other Parties’ consent, issue such press release or make such public statement or filing as may be required by Law if it is not possible to consult with the other Party before doing so.

Section 7.5 Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, CCI shall and shall cause each CCI Subsidiary and each of their respective Affiliates to, and CMOF shall and shall cause each CMOF Subsidiary and each of their respective Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or pursuant to any Contract to consummate and make effective, as promptly as practicable, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) taking all actions necessary to cause the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 8 to be satisfied, (ii) preparing and filing any applications, notices, registrations and requests as may be required or advisable to be filed with or submitted to any Governmental Authority in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) obtaining all necessary or advisable actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the making of all necessary or advisable registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any) and the taking of all reasonable steps as may be necessary or advisable to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority or other Persons necessary in connection with the consummation of the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iv) subject to Section 7.6(c), defending any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including seeking to have any stay or temporary restraining order entered by any court or other Governmental Authority vacated or reversed, the avoidance of each and every impediment under any antitrust, merger control, competition or trade regulation Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Mergers so as to enable the Closing to occur as soon as reasonably possible, and (v) executing and delivering any additional instruments reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party will have any obligation (A) to propose, negotiate, commit to or effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, divestiture or other disposition of any assets or businesses of such Party, any of its subsidiaries or their Affiliates or (B) otherwise to take or commit to take any actions that would limit the freedom of such Party, its subsidiaries (including subsidiaries of CCI after the Closing) or their Affiliates with respect to, or their ability to retain, one or more of their businesses, product lines or assets.

56

(b) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing Section 7.5(a), each of the Parties shall give (or shall cause their respective Affiliates to give) any notices to third parties, and each of the Parties shall use, and cause each of their respective Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain any third-party consents that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Parties will, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, furnish to the other Parties such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other Parties may request in connection with the preparation of any required applications, notices, registrations and requests as may be required or advisable to be filed with any Governmental Authority and will cooperate in responding to any inquiry from a Governmental Authority, including promptly informing the other Party of such inquiry, consulting in advance before making any presentations or submissions to a Governmental Authority, and supplying each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications between such Party and any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement. To the extent reasonably practicable, the Parties or their Representatives shall have the right to review in advance and each of the Parties will consult the other Parties on, all the information relating to the other Parties and each of their Affiliates that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except that confidential competitively sensitive business information may be redacted from such exchanges. To the extent reasonably practicable, no Party shall, nor shall any Party permit its respective Representatives to, participate independently in any meeting or engage in any substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry without giving the other Parties prior notice of such meeting or conversation and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, without giving the other Parties the opportunity to attend or participate (whether by telephone or in person) in any such meeting with such Governmental Authority.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any approval or consent from any Person (other than any Governmental Authority) with respect to the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall be obligated to pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any accommodation or commitment or incur any liability or other obligation to such Person other than commercially reasonable processing and consent fees and any other expenses required to be paid in connection with obtaining the consent or approval of any lender with respect to any Indebtedness set forth on Section 4.3(a)(iii) of the CMOF Disclosure Letter. Subject to the immediately foregoing sentence, the Parties shall cooperate with respect to reasonable accommodations that may be requested or appropriate to obtain such consents.

(b) The CCI Parties shall give prompt notice to CMOF, and the CMOF Parties shall give prompt notice to CCI, if (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becomes untrue or inaccurate such that it would be reasonable to expect that the applicable closing conditions would be incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) it fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement; provided, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure by the CMOF Parties or the CCI Parties to provide such prompt notice under this Section 7.6(b) shall not constitute a breach of covenant for purposes of Section 8.2(b), Section 8.3(b), Section 9.1(c)(i) (CCI Terminating Breach), or Section 9.1(d)(i) (CMOF Terminating Breach).

57

(c) The CCI Parties shall give prompt notice to CMOF, and the CMOF Parties shall give prompt notice to CCI, of any Action commenced or, to such Party’s knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving such Party or any CCI Subsidiary or CMOF Subsidiary, respectively, or any of their respective directors, officers or partners that relates to this Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. CMOF shall give CCI the opportunity to reasonably participate in the defense and settlement of any Action against CMOF or its directors, officers or partners relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall consider in good faith CCI’s advice with respect to such Action, and no settlement in respect of any such Action shall be agreed to without CCI’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

63

(i) if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform or comply with any obligation, covenant or agreement on the part of any of the CCI Parties set forth in this Agreement has occurred that would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.3 not to be satisfied (a “CCI Terminating Breach”), which breach or failure to perform or comply cannot be cured, or, if capable of cure, has not been cured by the earlier of 30 days following written notice thereof from CMOF to CCI and two Business Days before the Outside Date; provided, however, that CMOF shall not have such right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)(i) if a CMOF Terminating Breach shall have occurred and be continuing at the time CMOF delivers notice of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)(i); or

(i) if there has been a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform or comply with any obligation, covenant or agreement on the part of a CMOF Party set forth in this Agreement has occurred that would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 not to be satisfied (a “CMOF Terminating Breach”), which breach or failure to perform or comply cannot be cured, or if capable of cure, has not been cured by the earlier of 30 days following written notice thereof from CCI to CMOF and two Business Days before the Outside Date; provided, however, that CCI shall not have such right to terminate this Agreement if a CCI Terminating Breach shall have occurred and be continuing at the time CCI delivers notice of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d)(i); or

In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Parties, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.2, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of the CCI Parties or the CMOF Parties, except that the Confidentiality Agreement and the provisions of Section 4.21 (No Other Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance), Section 5.21 (No Other Representations and Warranties; Non-Reliance), this Section 9.2, Section 9.3 (Fees and Expenses) and Article 10 (General Provisions) shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, that no such termination shall relieve any Party from any liability or damages resulting from any fraud or any willful and material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, in which case the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at Law or in equity. For the avoidance of doubt, the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided that each of the CCI Parties and the CMOF Parties shall each be treated as if they were a party thereto to the same extent as CCI and CMOF, respectively.

Section 9.3 Fees and Expenses.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 9.3, all Expenses shall be paid by the Party incurring such Expenses, whether or not the Mergers are consummated; provided that the Parties will share equally any Form S-4 filing fees as may be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In the event that:

(i) (A) this Agreement is terminated by CCI pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i) (CMOF Terminating Breach) or by CCI or CMOF pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i) (Outside Date) (and at the time of such termination CMOF would not have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(iii) (CCI Failure to Close)) or Section 9.1(b)(iii) (Failure to Obtain Stockholder Approval), (B) after the date hereof and prior to the breach or failure to perform giving rise to such right of termination, a bona fide Acquisition Proposal (with, for all purposes of this Section 9.3(b)(i), all percentages included in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be increased to 50%) has been publicly announced, disclosed or otherwise communicated to the CMOF Board (or any committee thereof) or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make such an Acquisition Proposal (and, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(iii) (Failure to Obtain Stockholder Approval), such Acquisition Proposal or publicly proposed or announced intention shall have been made prior to the CMOF Stockholders Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof)), and (C) within 12 months following such termination, CMOF enters into a definitive written agreement providing for the implementation of any Acquisition Proposal or any Acquisition Proposal is consummated;

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by CMOF pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) (Superior Proposal); or

(iii) this Agreement is terminated by CCI pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii) (Adverse Recommendation Change/Other Company Actions);

65

then CMOF shall pay, as directed by CCI, the Termination Payment. Payment of the Termination Payment pursuant to Section 9.3(b) shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to the account or accounts designated by CCI as follows: (i) in the case of Section 9.3(b)(i), within the earlier of (A) three Business Days after the entry into a definitive agreement in respect of the Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (B) of Section 9.3(b)(i), and (B) concurrently with the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal; (ii) in the case of Section 9.3(b)(ii), prior to or concurrently with termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) (Superior Proposal); and (iii) in the case of Section 9.3(b)(iii), within three Business Days after termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(ii) (Adverse Recommendation Change/Other Company Actions).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, any payment made by CMOF under Section 9.3(b) shall be payable only once with respect to Section 9.3(b), and not in duplication, even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions hereof. In the event that CCI shall receive full payment of the Termination Payment pursuant to Section 9.3(b), the receipt of the Termination Payment (and the costs and expenses contemplated by Section 9.3(d)) shall be deemed to be liquidated damages and shall be the CCI Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy for any and all losses or damages suffered or incurred by the CCI Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and CMOF and its Affiliates and Representatives shall have no further liability, whether pursuant to a claim at Law or in equity, to the CCI Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and none of the CCI Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives shall be entitled to bring or maintain any Action against CMOF or any of its Affiliates or Representatives for damages or any equitable relief arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (and the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and the abandonment thereof) or any matters forming the basis for such termination.

(d) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement. In the event that the CMOF Parties shall fail to pay the Termination Payment when due, the CMOF Parties shall (i) reimburse CCI for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by CCI (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 9.3, and (ii) if, in order to obtain any payment due to CCI pursuant to Section 9.3(b), CCI commences an Action that results in a judgment against a CMOF Party for the payments set forth in this Section 9.3, the CMOF Parties shall pay to CCI its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action, together with interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (collectively, the “Recovery Costs”).

(e) If the CMOF Parties become obligated to pay the Termination Payment plus the Recovery Costs, if any, under this Section 9.3, then, if requested by CCI, the CMOF Parties shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Termination Payment plus the Recovery Costs, if any, with an escrow agent selected by CCI, after reasonable consultation with the CMOF Parties, and pursuant to a written escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) reflecting the terms set forth in this Section 9.3(e) and otherwise reasonably acceptable to CMOF and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of the Termination Payment plus the Recovery Costs, if any, shall be made by the CMOF Parties in accordance with the timing set forth in Section 9.3(b) or, at CCI’s reasonable request, promptly after receipt of notice from CMOF that the Escrow Agreement has been executed by the parties thereto. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Termination Payment and the Recovery Costs, if any, in escrow or the applicable portion thereof shall be released to CCI on an annual basis based upon the delivery by CCI to the escrow agent of any one (or a combination) of the following:

66

(i) a letter from CCI’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to CCI without causing CCI to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code for the applicable taxable year of CCI determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2)(A)-(I) or 856(c)(3)(A)-(I) of the Code (such income, “Qualifying REIT Income”), in which case the escrow agent shall release to CCI such maximum amount stated in the accountant’s letter;

(ii) a letter from CCI’s counsel indicating that CCI received a private letter ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by CCI of the Termination Payment would either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to CCI the remainder of the Termination Payment; or

(iii) a letter from CCI’s counsel indicating that CCI has received a tax opinion from CCI’s outside counsel or accountant, respectively, to the effect that the receipt by CCI of the Termination Payment should either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or should be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to CCI the remainder of the Termination Payment.

The CMOF Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to amend this Section 9.3(e) at the reasonable request of CCI in order to (A) maximize the portion of the Termination Payment that may be distributed to CCI hereunder without causing CCI to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (B) improve CCI’s chances of securing the favorable private letter ruling from the IRS described in this Section 9.3(e), or (C) assist CCI in obtaining the favorable tax opinion from its outside counsel or accountant described in this Section 9.3(e). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that CCI shall bear all costs and expenses under the Escrow Agreement and that the funds will be deposited into a non-interest bearing account. The CMOF Parties shall not be a party to the Escrow Agreement and shall not bear any liability, cost or expense resulting directly or indirectly from the Escrow Agreement.

Section 10.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any present or future Law, or public policy, (a) such term or other provision shall be fully separable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or other provision or by its severance herefrom so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 a mutually acceptable manner in order that transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (electronically by email or facsimile) to the other Parties. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in portable document form (pdf), or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

Section 10.5 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the CMOF Disclosure Letter and the CCI Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) except for the provisions of Section 7.7 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), which, from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, shall be for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties, are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties hereto any rights or remedies. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 10.6 without notice or liability to any other Person. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 10.6 Amendment; Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Company Merger Effective Time, the Parties may, to the extent permitted under applicable Law and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) amend any provision of this Agreement, (b) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (c) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (d) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any such amendment of this Agreement shall be valid only if specifically set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of all Parties. Any such grant by a Party of an extension or waiver in respect of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid only if specifically set forth in an instrument in writing by such Party. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

Section 10.7 Governing Law; Venue.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of actions (whether at Law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or related to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to its conflicts of laws principles (whether the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland).

(b) All disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Maryland state or federal court. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such Maryland state or federal court for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party, (ii) agrees not to commence any such Action except in such courts, (iii) agrees that any claim in respect of any Action may be heard and determined in any such Maryland state or federal court, (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Action, (v) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such dispute and (vi) agrees, with respect to any Action filed in a Maryland state court, to jointly request an assignment to the Maryland Business and Technology Case Management Program. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such dispute shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 10.8 Assignment. Except as may be required to satisfy the obligations contemplated by Section 7.7 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 10.8 shall be null and void.

Section 10.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the effective time of any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 9, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such Party is entitled at Law or in equity. In the event that any Action should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 10.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY INSTRUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER AND THAT IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.10.

Section 10.11 Authorship. The Parties agree that the terms and language of this Agreement are the result of negotiations between the Parties and their respective advisors and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any Party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.
