supplier, or other potential business relation of the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to the business at any time during the twelve (12)-month period immediately prior to the Closing), to induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or in any way adversely interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier or business relation and the Company, or any of its Subsidiaries (including making any negative statements or communications about the Company, New Pubco, or any of their Subsidiaries).

(c) From and after the date hereof, CDH Party agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, knowingly make, publish or communicate to any Person any oral or written statement that disparages or places the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, SPAC, or New Pubco, or any of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, stockholders, or agents, in respect thereof in a false or negative light, except (i) in connection with a legal proceeding in which the Company, CDH Party or such Affiliate, officer, director or equityholder is under oath or responding to a subpoena or is otherwise required by Law to cooperate with a Governmental Authority, and (ii) in responding publicly to incorrect, disparaging or derogatory public statements to the extent reasonably necessary to correct or refute such public statement.

(d) CDH Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Company prior to and following the Closing competes with other similar businesses that are or could be located within the Territory; (ii) SPAC and New Pubco have required that CDH Party make the covenants set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement as a condition to consummation of the Transactions; (iii) the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement are reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve New Pubco’s and the Company’s interests in and operation of the Company’s business (including but not limited to the goodwill of the Company’s business) from and after the Closing; (d) CDH Party will receive substantial Merger Consideration in the Transactions; (e) New Pubco, SPAC, and the Company would be irreparably damaged if CDH Party were to breach the covenants set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement; and (f) the provisions of Section 3 of this Agreement do not prevent or preclude CDH Party from earning a suitable livelihood.

(e) If any term or provision of this Section 3 shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and such determination shall become final, such provision or portion shall be deemed to be severed or limited, but only to the extent required to render the remaining terms and provisions of this Section 3 enforceable. This Section 3 as thus amended shall be enforced so as to give effect to the intention of the parties insofar as that is possible. In addition, the parties hereby expressly acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 3 are reasonable in terms of duration, scope, and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of New Pubco, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries’ businesses, and the substantial investment made by New Pubco and SPAC hereunder.

4. Remedies. In the event of a breach of any covenant set forth in Sections 2 or 3 of this Agreement, New Pubco shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to New Pubco or any of its Affiliates at law or in equity:

(a) the right and remedy to have the provisions of Sections 2 or 3 specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of such provisions would cause irreparable injury to New Pubco or such Affiliate and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to New Pubco or such Affiliate; and

(b) the right and remedy to require CDH Party to account for and pay over to New Pubco or such Affiliate any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such Person as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the provisions of Sections 2 or 3.

5. Tolling of Restriction. If CDH Party is found to have violated any of the provisions of Section 3, CDH Party agrees that the restrictive period of each covenant so violated shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation by CDH Party. It is the intent of this paragraph that the running of the restrictive period of any covenant shall be tolled during any period of violation of such covenants so that New Pubco may obtain the full and reasonable protection for which it contracted and so that CDH Party may not profit by any breach of such covenants.

6. Representations and Warranties. CDH Party hereby represents and warrants to New Pubco, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

(e) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by CDH Party does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Transactions will not, constitute or result in (i) a breach or violation of, a termination (or right of termination) of or a default under, the loss of any benefit under, the creation, modification or acceleration of any obligations under or the creation of a Lien on any of the properties, rights or assets of CDH Party pursuant to any Contract binding upon CDH Party or, assuming (solely with respect to performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) compliance with the matters referred to in Section 6(d), under any applicable Law to which CDH Party is subject or (ii) any change in the rights or obligations of any party under any Contract legally binding upon CDH Party, except for any such breach, violation, termination, default, creation, acceleration or change that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or impair CDH Party’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the Transactions.

(f) There is no Action pending against CDH Party or, to the knowledge of CDH Party, threatened against CDH Party that, in any manner, questions the beneficial or record ownership of CDH Party’s shares of Company Common Stock or the validity of this Agreement, or challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by CDH Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

(g) Except as described on Schedule 4.21 of the Merger Agreement, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement based upon arrangements made by CDH Party, for which New Pubco, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates may become liable.
