(a) each share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(b) each limited liability company interest of Merger Sub 2 outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be converted into and become one membership interest of the Surviving LLC, which shall constitute the only outstanding equity of the Surviving LLC. From and after the Second Merger Effective Time, the limited liability company interests of Merger Sub 2 shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of membership interests into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

Section 3.3 Exchange of JR Stock and Dakota Stock.

(a) Appointment of Exchange Agent. Prior to the First Merger Effective Time, JR shall select and appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Dakota to act as transfer agent with respect to the shares of JR Stock and as exchange agent (the "Exchange Agent") to accomplish the deliveries and other actions contemplated by this Section 3.3. JR shall enter into an agreement with the Exchange Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to Dakota and JR.

(b) Deposit with Exchange Agent. On or before the Effective Time, JR shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of and in the name of the holders of shares of Dakota Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, for exchange in accordance with this Article III, non-certificated book entries representing the shares of JR Stock to be issued pursuant to this Article III in respect of shares of Dakota Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (such non-certificated book-entry shares, the "JR Book Entry Shares"). The JR Book Entry Shares deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 3.3(b) are referred to collectively as the "Exchange Fund."

(c) Promptly after the Closing Date, JR shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of Dakota Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time a letter of transmittal in a form prepared by JR and reasonably acceptable to Dakota (a "Letter of Transmittal") (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected only upon proper delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or transfer of the Book-Entry Securities to the Exchange Agent and which shall otherwise be in customary form and shall include customary provisions with respect to delivery of an "agent's message" regarding the book-entry transfer of Book-Entry Securities) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Securities in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(d) Each holder of shares of Dakota Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, upon (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof), together with a properly completed Letter of Transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an "agent's message" by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of transfer of Book-Entry Securities, the Merger Consideration in respect of the shares of Dakota Stock represented by a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Security. The shares of JR Stock constituting the Merger Consideration shall be in uncertificated book-entry form. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Securities upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If any Merger Consideration is to be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Dakota Stock surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition to such exchange that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) shall otherwise be in proper form for the transfer or such Book-Entry Security shall be properly transferred, and (ii) the Person requesting such exchange shall pay to JR any transfer Taxes or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of such consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate (or the shares specified in an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) and/or Book-Entry Security so surrendered, or such Person shall establish to the reasonable satisfaction of JR that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(e) From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each Certificate and/or Book-Entry Security shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender, in each case together with a duly executed and properly completed Letter of Transmittal, evidence of shares in book-entry form representing the shares of JR Stock that the holder of such Certificate and/or Book-Entry Security is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any Merger Consideration. The issuance of the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Dakota Stock (other than the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in accordance with Section 3.3(g)).

8

(f) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further transfer on the records of Dakota of shares of Dakota Stock which have been converted, pursuant to this Agreement, into the right to receive the Merger Consideration set forth herein, and if any Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) and/or Book-Entry Securities, together with a duly executed and properly completed Letter of Transmittal, are presented to the Exchange Agent, JR or the Surviving Corporation or Surviving LLC for transfer, they shall be cancelled and exchanged, without interest, for the Merger Consideration.

(g) No dividends or other distributions with respect to JR Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any not-yet-surrendered Dakota Stock with respect to the shares of JR Stock issuable hereunder, and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by JR to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Security in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Security there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of JR Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of JR Stock.

(h) None of JR, Dakota, Merger Sub 1 or Merger Sub 2 shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of JR Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) for any amount required to be delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(i) If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon such Person's (i) making of an affidavit of that fact claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, (ii) delivery to JR of a bond of indemnity in an amount and upon terms reasonably satisfactory to JR, and (iii) execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, JR will pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, the amount and type of consideration to be paid in respect of each share of Dakota Stock represented by such Certificate in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(j) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Dakota Stock twelve months after the Closing Date shall be returned to JR, upon demand, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Dakota Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 3.3 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to JR for payment of the Merger Consideration, and any dividends and distributions with respect thereto pursuant to Section 3.3(g), in respect of such shares without any interest thereon.

Section 3.4 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the Dissenter's Rights Statutes, any share of Dakota Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a stockholder of Dakota, who did not consent to or vote (by a valid and enforceable proxy or otherwise) in favor of the approval of this Agreement, which stockholder of Dakota complies with all of the provisions of the NRS relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters' rights, including all applicable prerequisites, requirements, qualifications, and procedures to perfect and maintain such rights under the Dissenter's Rights Statutes in accordance therewith and have not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited their rights thereunder, (such share being a "Dissenting Share," and such stockholder being a "Dissenting Stockholder"), shall be cancelled at the Effective Time but shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration to which the holder of such share would be entitled pursuant to the terms hereof 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 the Dissenter's Rights Statutes. If any Dissenting Stockholder fails to perfect dissenters' rights under the Dissenter's Rights Statutes 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 Merger Consideration pursuant to the terms of this Article III. Each party shall give the other prompt notice of any demands received by the first party for appraisal or payment under the Dissenter's Rights Statutes with respect to any Dakota Stock withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the Dissenter's Rights Statutes and shall give the other party the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect thereto. No party shall, without the prior written consent of the other parties, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands.

Section 3.5 Convertible Securities.

(a) At the First Merger Effective Time, each option to acquire Dakota Stock that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Dakota Stock and shall be converted into a right to acquire the same number of shares of JR Stock as such option was exercisable for in Dakota Stock, all on substantially the same terms as were in effect immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time.

(b) Following the Effective Time, the parties shall take all lawful action to effect the provisions of this Section 3.5, including causing the amendment or restatement of any convertible instruments to the extent necessary.

Section 3.6 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of JR Stock shall be issued in the First Merger. All fractional shares of JR Stock that a holder of shares of Dakota Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the First Merger shall be aggregated and, if a fractional share results from such aggregation, the number of shares of JR Stock that such holder shall be entitled to receive shall be rounded down to the nearest full share.

Section 3.7 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the parties, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable (including any amount payable in shares of JR Stock) in connection with any transactions referred to in this Agreement amounts as such withholding agent determines, acting reasonably, are required to be deducted and withheld from such payment in accordance with the Code or any provision of any other applicable Law (the "Withholding Obligations"). To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be remitted by the applicable withholding agent to the appropriate taxing authority on a timely basis and shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made (provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted to the appropriate taxing authority). The parties shall cause the Exchange Agent to provide prior written notice of any intention to deduct or withhold under applicable Withholding Obligations from any distributions or payments otherwise payable to any Affected Person so as to give each such Affected Person the reasonable opportunity to provide the Exchange Agent with any information or documentation sufficient to reduce or eliminate such Withholding Obligations.

(a) Dakota has filed or otherwise transmitted, on a timely basis, all forms, reports, statements, certifications and other documents (including all exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto) required to be filed or furnished by it with or to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") since January 1, 2020 (all such forms, reports, statements, certificates and other documents filed since January 1, 2020 and prior to the date hereof, collectively, the "Dakota SEC Documents"). As of their respective dates, or, if amended prior to the date hereof, as of the date of the last such amendment, each of the Dakota SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, as the case may be, each as in effect on the date so filed. As of their respective dates or filing or furnishing (or, if amended or superseded by a subsequent filing or furnished document prior to the date hereof, as of the date of such amendment or superseding filing or furnished document), none of the Dakota SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated or incorporated by reference therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Dakota maintains internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Based on its most recent evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting prior to the date hereof, management of Dakota has disclosed to Dakota's auditors and the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Dakota (i) any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of Dakota's internal controls over financial reporting or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in Dakota's internal control over financial reporting. Dakota has made available to JR, prior to the date of this Agreement, either materials relating to or a summary of any disclosure of matters described in clauses (i) or (ii) in the immediately preceding sentence made by management of Dakota to Dakota's auditors or the audit committee of the Board of Directors of Dakota.

Section 5.7 Certain Information. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Dakota expressly for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 or the Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus will, at the date the Form S-4 is declared effective SEC, the date the Joint Proxy and Consent Solicitation Statement/Prospectus is first mailed to the stockholders of Dakota and stockholders of JR and at the time of the Dakota Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. The Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

Section 5.10 Compliance with Laws.

Dakota and its Subsidiaries have in effect all permits necessary for them to own, lease or operate their properties and to carry on their businesses as now conducted, except for any permits the absence of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Dakota Material Adverse Effect. All permits are in full force and effect and are not subject to any pending or, to the knowledge of Dakota, threatened administrative or judicial proceeding to revoke, cancel, suspend or declare such permit invalid in any material respect, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Dakota Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.11 Affiliate Transactions. Except for directors' and employment-related Contracts filed or incorporated by reference as an exhibit to a Dakota SEC Document filed by Dakota prior to the date hereof, or as disclosed in the Dakota SEC Documents, and for any intercompany agreements, as of the date hereof, no executive officer or director of Dakota is a party to any Contract with or binding upon Dakota or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets or has any material interest in any material property owned by Dakota or any of its Subsidiaries or has engaged in any material transaction with any of the foregoing within the last twelve months.

Dakota shall notify JR in writing promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours) after receipt by Dakota, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives of any Acquisition Proposal, any indication that a Person intends to make an Acquisition Proposal or any request for information relating to Dakota and its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, books or records of Dakota or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case by any Person that intends to make or is considering making an Acquisition Proposal. Dakota shall identify to JR such Person making, and provide JR with the terms and conditions of, any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request (including any material changes thereto). Dakota shall keep JR reasonably informed on a current basis of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any such Acquisition Proposal, indication or request (including any changes thereto), and shall promptly (but in no event later than 24 hours after receipt) provide to JR copies of all correspondence and written materials sent or provided to Dakota or any of its Subsidiaries that describes any terms or conditions of any Acquisition Proposal (as well as written summaries of any material oral communications addressing such matters).

22

(d) At any time prior to obtaining the Dakota Stockholder Approval and following compliance with this Section 6.2(c), the Board of Directors of Dakota may make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) to enter into a definitive written acquisition agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(i) if the Board of Directors of Dakota shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(ii) Dakota shall have notified JR in writing, at least five (5) Business Days prior to taking such action (the "Notice Period"), of its intention to do so (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for the Adverse Recommendation Change or termination of this Agreement and, if such circumstance is based upon receipt of a Superior Proposal, shall include the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and include copies of the current drafts of all material agreements between Dakota and the party making such Superior Proposal and any other material documents or agreements that relate to such Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that such notice or the public disclosure by Dakota of such notice shall not in and of itself constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change));

(iii) during the Notice Period, Dakota shall have negotiated with JR in good faith (to the extent JR wishes to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that, if a Superior Proposal has been made, such Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal or, in connection with an Adverse Recommendation Change, failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of Dakota; and

(iv) the Board of Directors of Dakota shall have determined, after the close of business on the last day of the Notice Period, in good faith (after consultation with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel and after giving effect to any adjustments proposed by JR in writing during the Notice Period) that failure to so terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(c)(ii) or make an Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of Dakota under applicable Law; provided, that in the event of any material change to the material terms of such Superior Proposal, Dakota shall, in each case, have delivered to JR an additional notice consistent with that described in Section 6.2(d)(ii) above and the Notice Period shall have recommenced (in which case such Notice Period shall be for two (2) Business Days instead of five (5) Business Days).

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Dakota or the Board of Directors of Dakota from (i) issuing a "stop, look and listen" communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or taking and disclosing a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of Dakota if, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Dakota (after consultation with outside counsel), failure to so disclose would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Any disclosure referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change so long as (A) any such disclosure includes the Dakota Board Recommendation without any modification or qualification thereof or continues the prior recommendation of the Board of Directors of Dakota and (B) does not contain an express Adverse Recommendation Change.

23

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of any Intervening Event, the Board of Directors of Dakota may, at any time prior to the time the Dakota Stockholder Approval is obtained, make an Adverse Recommendation Change if (i) Dakota shall have (A) provided JR five (5) Business Days' prior written notice, which shall (I) set forth in reasonable detail information describing the Intervening Event and (II) state expressly that the Board of Directors of Dakota has determined to make an Adverse Recommendation Change and (B) prior to making such an Adverse Recommendation Change, engaged in good faith with JR (to the extent JR wishes to engage) during such five (5) Business Day period to consider any adjustments proposed by JR to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the failure of the Board of Directors of Dakota to make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to the Intervening Event would no longer reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (ii) the Board of Directors of Dakota shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that in light of such Intervening Event and taking into account any revised terms proposed by JR, the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors' fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 6.3 Preparation of Documents; Dakota Stockholders' Meeting.

(a) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (i) JR shall prepare, with assistance and input from Dakota, and JR shall file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (together with all amendments thereto, the "Form S-4") (in which the Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus will be included) relating to the registration of the shares of JR Stock to be issued to stockholders of Dakota pursuant to the First Merger; and (ii) Dakota and JR shall jointly prepare and Dakota shall file with the SEC a joint proxy and consent solicitation/information statement/prospectus (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus") to be sent to stockholders of Dakota relating to the special meeting of stockholders of Dakota (the "Dakota Stockholders Meeting") to be held to obtain the Dakota Stockholder Approval, the advisory vote required by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act in connection therewith, if requested by JR, a vote to approve an equity plan for JR and a vote to approve the adjournment of the Dakota Stockholders Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies and votes if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Dakota Stockholders Meeting to obtain the Dakota Stockholder Approval (it being agreed that such special meeting may be a virtual special meeting). The Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus and Form S-4 shall comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the NRS (including the Dissenter's Rights Statutes) and other applicable Law.

(b) Each of JR and Dakota shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus cleared by the SEC and the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and keep the Form S-4 effective for so long as necessary to consummate the Mergers. Each of JR and Dakota shall, as promptly as practicable after the receipt thereof, provide the other party with copies of any written comments and advise the other party of any oral comments with respect to the Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus and the Form S-4 received by such party from the SEC or its staff, including any request from the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to the Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus and the Form S-4, and shall provide the other with copies of all correspondence between it and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Form S-4 (including any amendments and supplements thereto) or mailing the Joint Disclosure Statement/Prospectus or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, each of JR and Dakota (i) shall provide the other with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response) and (ii) shall give due consideration to including in such document or response any comments reasonably proposed by the other. Each of JR and Dakota shall advise the others, promptly after receipt of 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 of shares of JR Stock for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, and each of JR and Dakota shall use its reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated.

(b) Prior to the First Merger Effective Time, Dakota may, at such party's option and expense, purchase (and pay in full the aggregate premium for) a "tail" directors' and officers' liability insurance policy with coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are substantially equivalent to and in any event not less favorable to the current and former officers and directors of Dakota, in the aggregate, with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events that occurred before or at the First Merger Effective Time and the Second Merger Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), than the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by Dakota, to the extent that such a policy can be obtained at a cost that does not exceed 300% of the last annual premium paid by Dakota for the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by Dakota as of the date of this Agreement provided, that if Dakota, is unable to so acquire such a "tail" policy then JR shall cause the Surviving LLC to maintain in effect for at least six years after the Effective Time the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance maintained by Dakota, as the case may be, or policies with coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured Persons with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events that occurred before or at the First Merger Effective Time or the Second Merger Effective Time, as the case may be (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), so long as JR or  the Surviving LLC, as applicable, are not required to pay an aggregate premium in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid for such insurance before the date of this Agreement (such 300% amount being the "Maximum Premium"). If Dakota is unable to obtain the "tail" policy and JR or the Surviving LLC, as the case may be, is unable to obtain the insurance described in the prior sentence for an amount less than or equal to the applicable Maximum Premium, then JR shall cause the Surviving LLC to instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the applicable Maximum Premium.
