2.1    General. The Parties agree that the Transactions shall be consummated in the following order in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement: (a) the TFMMF Transition; (b) the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation; (c) the Passport Transfer; and (d) the EJMMF Adoption (immediately following the Passport Transfer). For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document, while the Parties intend to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to effect the Transactions in a timely manner in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (i) the Transactions shall be subject to the fiduciary duties to the TFMMF, the EJMMF and their respective shareholders,

and the legitimate business interests, of Passport (pre-Closing) and Federated, and the fiduciary duties to the TFMMF, the EJMMF and their respective shareholders of the TFMMF’s and the EJMMF’s Board of Trustees (pre-Closing), including with respect to the timing and manner of effecting such Transactions; and (ii) except to the extent contemplated in Section 3 (with respect to expenses), unless Passport (pre-Closing), Federated, or their respective Affiliates specifically agree otherwise, nothing shall require Passport (pre-Closing), Federated nor any of their respective Affiliates (without their prior agreement) to make any contributions, or otherwise make any payment, waiver, reimbursement or concession, in connection with effecting such Transactions. For example, and without limiting the foregoing, if a credit event occurs with respect to one or more portfolio securities in the middle of the TFMMF Transition, or if a significant loss to the TFMMF would be realized in connection with selling a portfolio security in connection with the TFMMF Transition, Passport (pre-Closing), Federated, or the Board of Trustees of the TFMMF, may determine to: (1) delay or stop the TFMMF Transition to protect their respective interests or shareholder interests or, unless Passport (pre-Closing) or Federated otherwise specifically agree at such time; (2) not make a capital contribution to the TFMMF or the EJMMF; provided that any such determination shall not affect the right of any Person to redeem shares of the TFMMF or the EJMMF in a manner that contravenes the 1940 Act.

2.2    The TFMMF Transition. Jones shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Jones TFMMF Shareholders’ accounts in TFMMF to redeem all shares of TFMMF held by such Jones TFMMF Shareholders and to reinvest all redemption proceeds in the EJMMF in stages through a coordinated series of redemption and reinvestment transactions, subject to the right of any shareholder to object to such redemption and reinvestment or to direct reinvestment into another available investment. Notwithstanding the prior provisions of this Section 2.2, Jones may cause redemption proceeds to be reinvested in an investment other than EJMMF to the extent that Jones reasonably and in good faith determines that an investment in EJMMF would not be in the best interests of or otherwise suitable for any Jones TFMMF Shareholder. Jones shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the transfers and to take such other actions, as required in connection with the consummation of the TFMMF Transition before October 14, 2016. Federated shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide information, and to take such other actions, as reasonably requested by Jones in connection with the consummation of the TFMMF Transition.

2.3    Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation. Promptly after the consummation of the TFMMF Transition, Federated and Passport (pre-Closing) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation to be consummated prior to the consummation of the Passport Transfer. The Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation may, in Federated’s and Passport’s (pre-Closing) sole discretion, be structured as either: (a) a liquidation of the TFMMF, with remaining shareholder accounts (to the extent possible) being given the opportunity to transition to MOF or another money market fund advised by Federated or its Affiliates; or (b) a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or a taxable reorganization, which would be accomplished by TFMMF transferring all or substantially all of its assets and stated Liabilities to MOF in exchange for shares of MOF, which shall then be distributed to the shareholders of TFMMF in complete liquidation and termination of the TFMMF. Federated shall endeavor to consummate the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation on or before December 16, 2016 (or such later date as may be mutually

agreed upon by the Parties). Federated shall use commercially reasonable efforts to amend the Declaration of Trust of MMOT, and to make any other necessary filings or to take any other necessary actions, to terminate the existence of the TFMMF promptly after the consummation of the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation.

2.4    The Passport Transfer.

(a)    Federated shall sell, transfer, convey and deliver its general partnership interest in Passport, and the Passport Records, to Buyer by executing and delivering at Closing the Assignment and Cross Receipt relating to the general partnership interest in Passport substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J (with such changes as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties). Buyer shall accept such general partnership interest in Passport, and the Passport Records, by executing and delivering at Closing such Assignment and Cross Receipt. To the extent not previously delivered to Jones or Buyer, any Passport Records that the Parties agree are to be transferred will be delivered by Federated to Passport (post-Closing) or Buyer within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date.

The Parties agree that they shall reasonably cooperate for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date to promptly provide reasonable access to the other Parties to (and, as necessary to respond to regulatory requests or legal process, copies of (at the requesting Party’s expense)) any books and records of or relating to Passport, or the EJMMF or the TFMMF, that remain in such Parties’ possession or control post-Closing (and that have not been destroyed in accordance with the possessing/controlling Party’s document retention policies as in effect from time to time consistent with applicable law). For the avoidance of doubt, Federated shall provide Buyer, Jones and Passport (post-Closing) with such access to (and, as applicable, copies of) such books and records in its possession or control (including any Passport Records not delivered as contemplated above), and Buyer, Jones and Passport (post-Closing) will provide Federated with such access to (and, as applicable, copies of) such books and records in its possession or control (including any Passport Records delivered as contemplated above where Federated did not retain or cannot locate copies of such Passport Records), in each case consistent with the preceding sentence.

(b)    The Parties shall cooperate as necessary to take all action necessary in furtherance of the Passport Transfer, including execution and delivery of any amendments to, or consents under or in connection with, the Agreement of Limited Partnership of Passport. The Parties also shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek any approvals, provide any notices, prepare and file any filings, and take such other actions, as required in connection with the consummation of the Passport Transfer.

(c)    The Parties agree to endeavor to consummate the Passport Transfer on or before December 31, 2016 (or such later date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties).

(d)    The Parties agree to endeavor to consummate the EJMMF Adoption on or before December 31, 2016 (or such later date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties).

2.6    Efforts to Consummate Transactions. The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek and obtain any other consents and approvals, prepare and file any other required filings, and take any other actions and complete such other tasks, as may be reasonably required or necessary in connection with the consummation of the Transactions. Without limiting the foregoing:

(a)    Jones or Buyer has performed or shall perform prior to the Closing Date the following:    

(i)    Provide Federated with all information reasonably requested for preparation of materials for, and presentation to, the EJMMF Board in relation to the EJMMF Adoption, including information related to Jones, Buyer and their Affiliates;

(ii)    Subject to the direction and approval of the EJMMF Board, after consultation with and review by Federated and counsel

3.    Payments; Fees; Expenses.

3.1    Consideration. While no actual cash purchase price shall be paid for the Passport Transfer, the mutual covenants provided herein have been acknowledged by the Parties as sufficient consideration for this Agreement, the Ancillary Closing Documents and the Transactions.

3.2    Pre-Closing Distribution. Subject to the conditions precedent to Closing being satisfied (or waived by the applicable Parties):

(a)    All known, non-contingent Liabilities of Passport shall be satisfied (or provision made therefor) by Passport immediately prior to Closing. Passport shall prepare an itemization of such known, non-contingent Liabilities that have been satisfied (or provided for) in preparation for the Closing and provide the same to Jones at the Closing.

(b)     All net assets of Passport shall be distributed to Federated and Jones pursuant to their respective ownership interests in Passport (i.e., Federated: 50.5%; and EDJones: 49.5%) (“Respective Ownership Interests”) immediately prior to the Closing (together with any additional distribution contemplated in Section 3.2(c) below, each a “Pre-Closing Distribution”). Any

amounts payable to Jones shall be paid in immediately available funds to an account designated in writing in advance by Jones. Passport (pre-Closing) shall prepare an itemization of such net assets and the amounts to be distributed to Federated and Jones and provide the same to Jones at the Closing.

(c)    For 105-calender days post-Closing, the Parties shall, on a monthly basis, address and pay-out, in accordance with Federated’s and Jones’ Respective Ownership Interests, any distributions of additional net assets of Passport that are received or identified post-Closing that relate to periods prior to the Closing. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after each calendar month-end during such 105-calendar day period, Federated shall prepare an itemization of any such additional net assets and any amounts to be distributed to Federated and Jones and provide the same to Jones. Jones may raise questions regarding any itemization (whether delivered under Section 3.2(b) or this Section 3.2(c)) within ten (10) calendar days after Federated delivers the itemization to Jones by providing a written notice to Federated reasonably identifying such questions and the basis therefor. Any such itemization shall become final and binding for all purposes ten (10) calendar days after delivery to Jones, unless Jones raises questions by timely providing the written notice contemplated above. If Jones properly raises questions regarding an itemization, the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve such questions promptly and, upon such questions being resolved, such itemization (as modified as agreed between the Parties) shall become final and binding for all purposes. Any final pay-out shall be made on the 135^th calendar day post-Closing (or such other date as mutually agreed by the Parties). Any payments pursuant to this Section 3.2(c) shall be made either (1) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance in writing by the Party receiving the payment or (2) by such other means, as mutually agreed between the Parties.

(d)    Immediately prior to Closing, Jones shall make an additional payment to Federated in the amount of $25,500 (representing the return of Federated’s original capital contribution to Passport). Such payment may be made by Jones and satisfied either (i) (A) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing in advance by Federated, or (B) by such other means, as mutually agreed between the Parties, or (ii) by a reduction in the amount of the Pre-Closing Distribution payable to Jones and reallocation of such amount to Federated. So long as the amount of the Pre-Closing Distribution payable to Jones pursuant to Section 3.2(b) is $25,500 or more, Jones may elect how to make and satisfy such payment obligation in its sole discretion.

(e)    The Parties shall (and shall cause their respective accountants and other representatives to) reasonably cooperate with each other in preparing and reviewing any itemizations and otherwise fulfilling the obligations under this Section 3.2.

3.3    Sub-Advisory/Administration Fee. The compensation payable to Federated under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement based on management of all of the assets (i.e., 100% allocable share) of the EJMMF (the “Unitary Fee”) shall not be adjusted, including, without limitation, based on either (a) the yield on the EJMMF or its portfolio securities, or (b) waivers or reimbursements by Passport (post-Closing) to maintain any minimum yield on the EJMMF.

3.4    Early Termination of, or Adjustment of Allocable Share under, New Sub-Advisory Agreement:

(a)    Jones, Buyer and Passport (post-Closing) shall recommend, and shall cause any applicable Affiliates to recommend, Federated (or an Affiliate of Federated) to act as sub-advisor for, and Federated (or its Affiliate, Federated Administrative Services) to act as sub-administrator for, and not recommend another third-party to act as sub-advisor or sub-administrator for or to otherwise perform services being provided by Federated as sub-advisor and Federated (or its Affiliate, Federated Administrative Services) as sub-administrator for, the EJMFF, including any successor fund, for an initial two (2) year term after Closing.

(b)    If, during the initial two (2) year term of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, (i) the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is terminated (in whole or in part) and Federated (or an Affiliate of Federated) is not appointed on substantially identical terms to continue to manage assets of, or Federated (or its Affiliate, Federated Administrative Services) is not appointed on substantially identical terms to continue to provide sub-administrative services to, the EJMMF or a successor Regulated Investment Company to the EJMMF registered under the 1940 Act or if the EJMMF is liquidated (collectively, as applicable, a “Termination”); provided, however, Termination shall not include any voluntary resignation or voluntary (without cause) termination of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement by Federated, or (ii) without the consent of Federated (which consent may be withheld for any reason in Federated’s sole discretion), the allocable share of net assets of the EJMMF (including any successor Regulated Investment Company registered under the 1940 Act) for which Federated is responsible for management under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement and on which the Unitary Fee is calculated is reduced below 100% (an “Allocable Share Reduction”), or (iii) without the consent of Federated (which consent may be withheld for any reason in Federated’s sole discretion), the Unitary Fee is reduced below four (4) basis points of the net assets of the EJMMF, or services performed by Federated (or its Affiliate, Federated Administrative Services) curtailed as to not reasonably justify the Unitary Fee payable to Federated (“Involuntary Reduction”), in each case other than as a result of Federated failing to remain in Good Standing, then Jones shall pay Federated out of its own assets/resources (and not out of the advisory fee earned by Passport) a payment determined as follows (any of the following payments being a “Guaranteed Amount”):

(i)    in the case of a Termination, an amount equal to $2 million; and

(ii)    in the case of an Allocable Share Reduction or Involuntary Reduction, an amount equal to the product of (1) the Guaranteed Amount that would have become payable for a Termination as if the Allocable Share Reduction or Involuntary Reduction were a Termination (i.e., $2 million),

multiplied by (2) the percentage reduction in (a) the allocable share in the case of a Allocable Share Reduction, or (b) the Unitary Fee received by Federated in the case of an Involuntary Reduction.

(c)    In the event a Guaranteed Amount becomes payable to Federated, Jones shall pay such Guaranteed Amount to Federated within thirty (30) calendar days of the date on which it became payable, and such Guaranteed Amount shall be paid either (1) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in advance in writing by Federated or (2) by such other means, as mutually agreed between the Parties.

(d)    Federated shall not be entitled to any Guaranteed Amount unless as of the date such Guaranteed Amount became payable, Federated was in Good Standing. Federated shall be considered to be in “Good Standing” so long as (1) Federated (or, as applicable, its Affiliate, Federated Administrative Services) does not materially breach the New Sub-Advisory Agreement based on a violation of the Standard of Care (as defined in the New Sub-Advisory Agreement) for which Federated (or, as applicable, its Affiliate, Federated Administrative Services) would be liable under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and (2) Federated is not disqualified from acting as a sub-adviser to a registered investment company under Section 9(a) of the 1940 Act.

(e)    The EJMMF Board shall at all times be free to exercise its fiduciary obligations under applicable law, rule or regulation and rights under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement (it being understood that such exercise may result in Jones having an obligation to pay any Guaranteed Amount.

(f)    The Parties shall agree upon appropriate disclosure to the EJMMF Board and to be included in the EJMMF Proxy and any registration statement of the EJMMF disclosing this arrangement.

3.5    Expenses.

(a)    Except as set forth in this Agreement or otherwise agreed between the Parties: (i) Federated and Passport (pre-Closing) shall be responsible for their own, and their Affiliates, respective fees, costs and expenses, including employee costs, counsel fees and accountant/auditor fees, incurred or paid in connection with the Transactions; and (ii) Jones, Passport (post-Closing) and Buyer shall be responsible for their, and their Affiliates, respective fees, costs and expenses, including employee costs, counsel fees and accountant/auditor fees, paid or incurred in connection with the Transactions (other than the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation), in each case, including in connection with due diligence, drafting, reviewing, negotiating, executing and delivering this Agreement (including exhibits hereto), the Ancillary Closing Documents, the Post-Closing EJMMF-Related Documents, and consummating the Transactions.

(b)    Notwithstanding Section 3.5(a) above:

(i)     Jones and Buyer shall be responsible, as agreed between them, for all reasonable, out of pocket fees, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and accountant/auditor fees, incurred or paid by any of the Parties or their respective Affiliates in connection with effecting the TFMMF Transition, including the fees, costs and expenses of preparing, reviewing, printing and mailing any negative consent letters (and any attachments thereto), or other documents or materials, sent to shareholders of TFMMF in connection with the TFMMF Transition; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, Federated shall be responsible for fees, costs and expenses of Federated and Passport (pre-Closing) relating solely to the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation, but not the TFMMF Transition.

(ii)    Jones and Buyer shall be responsible, as agreed between them, for all reasonable, out of pocket fees, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and accountant/auditor fees, incurred or paid by any of the Parties or their respective Affiliates in connection with effecting: (1) any records transfer (including the Passport Records) necessary in connection with the Passport Transfer and the post-Closing operation of Passport; and (2) the EJMMF Adoption, including the fees, costs and expenses of preparing, reviewing, printing and mailing the EJMMF Proxy, or other documents or materials, sent to shareholders of the EJMMF, and of proxy solicitors, in connection with the EJMMF Adoption; provided, that Federated shall be responsible for its legal fees related to seeking the approval of the EJMMF Board.

(iii)    Subject to the last sentence of this Section 3.5(b)(iii), Federated shall be responsible for contributing as a capital contribution (and without receiving additional shares in return) approximately $50,326 to the TFMMF prior to the consummation of the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation to address a pre-existing permanent impairment to the net asset value per share calculated using available market quotations or an appropriate substitute that reflects current market conditions (“NAV”) of the TFMMF relating to periods prior to Passport becoming the investment adviser for the TFMMF (“Pre-Existing Required Contribution”); and, unless Federated determines otherwise, (ii) with respect to any other transaction that causes a permanent impairment to the TFMMF’s NAV, or any other amounts necessary to avoid the NAV of the TFMMF being less than $1.00 per share by more than $0.005 or any redeeming or reorganizing shareholder of the TFMMF not receiving at least $1.00 in value per share upon redeeming or reorganizing or to prevent material dilution of shareholders, Passport (pre-Closing), Federated, Jones and the Board of Trustees of TFMMF shall mutually agree at that time upon the actions (if any) to be taken in response thereto and Passport (pre-Closing), Federated and Jones shall mutually agree at such time upon the extent to which each Party shall be responsible for bearing the costs of such actions (if any). If the TFMMF is liquidated, rather than reorganized, Federated (or an Affiliate) may, in lieu of making the Pre-Existing Required Contribution, make an investment in the TFMMF in a similar amount. If Federated (or any

Affiliate) makes such an investment in the TFMMF, Federated (or its Affiliate) shall be the last shareholder to be redeemed from the TFMMF in connection with its liquidation.

(iv)    Any reasonable, out of pocket fees, costs or expenses incurred or paid by Passport, and that are not ordinarily paid by the TFMMF or EJMMF, up through the Closing that relate to customary or routine annual or other periodic audits or filings for the fiscal year of Passport in which the Closing occurs shall be the responsibility of Passport; provided, however, to the extent that Passport (pre-Closing) does not have sufficient assets to satisfy such fees, costs or expenses, such fees, costs and expenses shall be borne by Federated and Jones in accordance with their Respective Ownership Interests (it being understood that payment by Passport will reduce Passport’s profit/income available for distribution by Passport to Federated and Jones in accordance with their Respective Ownership Interests and that, therefore, Federated and Jones will still indirectly bear such fees, costs and expenses).

(c)    As among the Parties, Federated shall be responsible for all reasonable, out of pocket fees, costs and expenses, including counsel fees and accountant/auditor fees, incurred or paid by Federated and Passport (pre-Closing) or their respective Affiliates relating to the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization, including the fees, costs and expenses of preparing, reviewing, printing and mailing any information statement/prospectus on Form N-14, and any attachments thereto, or other documents or materials, sent to shareholders of TFMMF or MOF in connection with the Post-Transition TFMMF Reorganization/Liquidation.

(d)    For the avoidance of doubt, any Realized Losses in, or permanent impairments to, the NAV of the EJMMF are not being addressed as the EJMMF is continuing its existence. For purposes of this provision, “Realized Losses” means such accumulated net realized loss, as adjusted for all net gains and losses realized by the EJMMF through and as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding Section 3.5(a) above, if, prior to Closing, any amounts are necessary to avoid the NAV of the EJMMF being below $1.00 per share by more than $0.005 or any redeeming shareholder of the EJMMF not receiving at least $1.00 in value per share upon redeeming or reorganizing, Passport (pre-Closing), Federated, Jones and the EJMMF Board shall mutually agree at that time upon the actions (if any) to be taken in response thereto and Passport (pre-Closing), Federated and Jones shall mutually agree at such time upon the extent to which each Party shall be responsible for bearing the costs of such actions (if any).

(e)    Each of the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in causing any required filings to be made in connection with the Pre-Existing Required Contribution and any other actions (if any) taken with respect to either the TFMMF or EJMMF.

(f)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 3.5, unless specifically agreed otherwise between the Parties, whenever Passport (pre-Closing) is responsible for any fees, costs or expenses, such fees, costs and expenses shall be borne by Federated and Jones in accordance with their Respective Ownership Interests, but only to the extent that Passport does not have sufficient assets to satisfy such fees, costs and expenses (it being understood that payment

by Passport will reduce Passport’s profit/income available for distribution by Passport to Federated and Jones in accordance with their Respective Ownership Interests and that, therefore, Federated and Jones will still indirectly bear such fees, costs and expenses).

(g)    The above expense provisions in no way affect the responsibility for fees, costs and expenses relating to post-Closing periods under the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, which generally shall be customary for sub-advisory and sub-administration services involving money market funds as agreed upon in the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

4.    Confidentiality.

4.1    Disclosure of Confidential Information. The Confidential Information supplied by or on behalf of one Party and its Affiliates and agents (collectively, as applicable, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party or its Affiliates or agents (collectively, as applicable, the “Receiving Party”) shall be deemed confidential and proprietary to the Disclosing Party, regardless of whether such information was disclosed intentionally.

4.2    Treatment of Confidential Information. Each Party recognizes the importance of the other’s Confidential Information. In particular, each Party recognizes and agrees that the Confidential Information of the other is critical to its respective businesses and that no Party would enter into this Agreement without assurance that such information and the value thereof shall be protected as provided in this Section 4. Accordingly, each Party agrees as follows: (i) the Receiving Party shall hold any and all Confidential Information it obtains in strictest confidence and shall use and permit the use of Confidential Information solely for the purposes of this Agreement, the New Advisory Agreement, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, any other Post-Closing EJMMF-Related Document or any Ancillary Closing Document (without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall use at least the same degree of care, but no less than reasonable care, to avoid disclosure or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as the Receiving Party employs with respect to its own Confidential Information); (ii) the Receiving Party may disclose or provide access to its responsible directors, trustees, managers, officers, employees, agents or service providers who reasonably have a need to know and may make copies of Confidential Information only to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out its obligations hereunder or under the New Advisory Agreement, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, any other Post-Closing EJMMF-Related Document or any Ancillary Closing Document or conduct its business as contemplated hereby or thereby; (iii) the Receiving Party currently has, and in the future shall maintain in effect and enforce, rules and policies to protect against access to or use or disclosure of Confidential Information other than in accordance with this Agreement, the New Advisory Agreement, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, any other Post-Closing EJMMF-Related Document or any Ancillary Closing Document, including written instruction to and agreements or other obligations with directors, trustees, managers, officers, employees, agents and service providers who are bound by an obligation of confidentiality no less stringent than as set forth in this Agreement to ensure that such directors, trustees, managers, officers, employees, agents and service providers protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information; (iv) the Receiving Party shall instruct its directors, trustees, managers, officers, employees, agents and service providers not to disclose Confidential Information to third parties, including customers, subcontractors or consultants, without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, unless permitted

under (and disclosed in accordance with), or required by, this Agreement, the New Advisory Agreement, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement, any other Post-Closing EJMMF-Related Document, any Ancillary Closing Document or applicable law, rule or regulation; and (v) the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party immediately of any unauthorized disclosure or use, and shall reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party to protect, all proprietary rights in and ownership of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 4, nothing in this Section 4 shall prohibit Federated and its Affiliates from using or disclosing any information regarding customers of Federated or its Affiliates (other than the EJMMF post-Closing) or any information relating to the services provided by, or business of, Federated and its Affiliates. Moreover, to the extent that any information regarding the EJMMF or Passport is the same as information of Federated or its Affiliates (other than Passport) or other funds sponsored or advised by Federated or its Affiliates (for example, and without limitation, credit research or the names of common securities held in multiple fund portfolios), then Federated and its Affiliates shall be able to use and disclose such information without restriction by this Section 4.

4.3    Customer Information. As between Jones and its Affiliates and Buyer, customer information constituting Confidential Information is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Buyer and, as applicable, its third party institutional investment advisors and third party plan administrators. This Agreement shall not be construed as granting any of Buyer’s ownership rights in such customer information to Federated. Customer information (other than with respect to the EJMMF post-Closing) of Federated or its Affiliates (other than Passport) shall remain the sole and exclusive property of Federated and its Affiliates (as applicable). This Agreement shall not be construed as granting any of Federated’s or its Affiliates’ (other than Passport) ownership rights in such customer information to Jones or Buyer.

4.4    Compelled Disclosures. To the extent required by applicable law, rule or regulation, or by lawful order or requirement of a court or Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction over the Receiving Party, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information in accordance with such law, rule, regulation, order or requirement, subject to the following conditions. Unless prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, as soon as possible after becoming aware of such law, rule, regulation, order or requirement and, to the extent reasonably practicable, prior to disclosing any Confidential Information pursuant thereto, the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party thereof in writing and, to the extent reasonably practicable, the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party notice of not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the required disclosure. The Receiving Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts not to release Confidential Information pending the outcome of any measures taken by the Disclosing Party to contest, otherwise oppose or seek to limit such disclosure by the Receiving Party and any subsequent disclosure or use of Confidential Information that may result from such disclosure. The Receiving Party shall reasonably cooperate with and provide reasonable assistance to the Disclosing Party regarding such measures. Notwithstanding any such compelled disclosure by the Receiving Party, such compelled disclosure will not otherwise affect the Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential Information so disclosed.

4.5    Return of Confidential Information. On a Party’s written request or upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, another Party shall promptly: (a) return or destroy, at the requesting Party’s option, all originals and copies of all documents and materials it has received containing the requesting Party’s Confidential Information; and (b) deliver or destroy, at the requesting Party’s option, all originals and copies of all summaries, records, descriptions, modifications, negatives, drawings, adoptions and other documents or materials, whether in writing or in machine-readable form, prepared by the other Party, prepared under its direction, or at its request from the documents and materials referred to in clause (a), and provide a written statement to the requesting Party certifying that all documents and materials referred to in clauses (a) and (b) have been delivered to the requesting Party or destroyed, as requested by the requesting Party; provided that a Party may retain a copy of any Confidential Information as necessary to comply with such Party’s obligations under applicable law, rule or regulation or, in the case of customer information constituting Confidential Information retained by Federated, as may be reasonably determined by Federated to be necessary in connection with its obligations hereunder or under the New Advisory Agreement, New Sub-Advisory Agreement, any other Post-Closing EJMMF-Related Document, or any Ancillary Closing Document.

4.6    Non-Solicitation of Employees. From and after the date hereof and for a period of five (5) years after the Closing, no Party (and no Party’s Affiliate) shall directly or indirectly: (a) induce or attempt to induce any investment management, investment management administration, administrative services or sales employee of another Party (or its Affiliates) to terminate his or her employment; or (b) hire or participate in the hiring or interviewing of any such employee of another Party (or its Affiliates) for any Person; or (c) provide names or other information about any such employee of another Party (or its Affiliates) for the purpose of assisting others to hire such employee; or (d) provide information to any such employee of another Party (or its Affiliates) about such Party or any Affiliate of such Party for the purpose of assisting that employee in finding employment with such Party or other Person. For purposes of the foregoing, any such employee of another Party (or its Affiliates) means any individual engaged in investment management, investment management administration, administrative services or sales at such other Party (or its Affiliates) who is a current employee of such other Party (or its Affiliates) or was employed by such other Party (or its Affiliates) within six (6) months of the date of any action of such Party (or its Affiliates) that violates the foregoing. The foregoing will not prohibit use of an employment agency or employment advertisements in a non-targeted, non-specific manner or responding to or hiring such an employee of another Party (or its Affiliates) that approaches a Party (or its Affiliates) of his or her own volition without any encouragement or breach of the foregoing by such Party (or its Affiliates) leading to such volitional approach by such employee.

4.7    Non-Exclusive Equitable Remedy. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of Confidential Information, and personal services provided by relevant employees, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 4, that any such breach or threatened breach may allow a Party or third parties to unfairly compete with the other Party resulting in irreparable harm to such Party, and, therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing its favor under this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document, each Party shall be entitled to seek

appropriate temporary equitable and injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving actual loss or posting any bond or security.

5.    The Closing; Termination.

5.1    Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or, as applicable, waiver of all other conditions to the consummation of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than those conditions which can only be fulfilled at the Closing), the consummation of the Passport Transfer, immediately followed by the consummation of the EJMMF Adoption, (the “Closing”) shall take place within five (5) Business Days after the EJMMF Shareholder Approval Items are approved by shareholders at the EFMMF Shareholder Meeting or such other date as the Parties may agree (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall take place on the Closing Date at such location, by such means and at such time as the Parties may agree. Subject to Section 5.2 below, the failure to consummate the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the date, time and place determined pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall not result in the termination of this Agreement and shall not relieve any Party of any obligation under this Agreement; provided, that (a) such failure occurred despite good faith efforts of the Parties to this Agreement, and (b) the Closing occurs promptly after the date of such failure to close.

5.2    Termination. Federated or Jones may terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other after 5:00 p.m., Pittsburgh time, on March 31, 2017 if the Closing shall not have occurred, unless such date is extended by the mutual agreement of the Parties on or prior to such date. Such termination shall be without Liability of any Party to the others, except as provided below. This Agreement may be terminated prior to the Closing Date (i) by the written consent of the Parties, (ii) by Federated if Jones or Buyer are in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of notice identifying such breach, or (iii) by Jones or Buyer if Federated or Passport is in material breach of any representation, warranty or covenant set forth herein and such breach is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of notice identifying such breach. Any such termination shall be without prejudice to the non-breaching Parties’ rights to seek damages for such breach.

    5.3    Non-Exclusive Equitable Remedy. The Parties acknowledge that the Transactions are unique and recognize that, in the event of an unlawful termination or material breach of this Agreement by a Party, money damages would be inadequate and the other Parties may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each of the Parties hereto agrees that each of the other Parties shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor under this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document, to enforce their rights and the obligations of the other Parties, as applicable, not only by an action for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunction, and/or other equitable relief, without the necessity of proving actual loss or posting any bond or security.

5.4    Survival. Sections 1, 2.4(a) (second paragraph), 4, 5, 6.4, 6.5, 9 and 10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement, except as stated otherwise in the relevant Sections of this Agreement.

6.    Representations and Warranties.

6.1    Mutual Representations and Warranties. Each Party, severally, hereby represents and warrants to the other Parties as follows:

(b)    Due Organization. Such Party has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization. Such Party has the corporate/partnership/trust power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as currently being conducted, except where the lack of such power or authority would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to such Party.

(c)    No Conflict. Neither the execution and delivery by such Party of this Agreement, nor the performance by such Party of its duties and obligations hereunder, shall (i) conflict with, result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice, or lapse of time, or both, would become a default) under (1) the Governing Documents of such Party, or (ii) any indenture, mortgage, lease, agreement or other instrument to which such Party is a party, to or by which such Party is bound, or to which its assets or property are subject, or (ii) violate any provision of any applicable law or regulation to which such Party is subject or by which such Party is bound, except where such conflict, breach, default or violation would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Change with respect to such Party.

All Parties shall have received a countersigned copy of each Ancillary Closing Document required for the Transaction to be consummated, and such agreements shall be in full force and effect. Federated’s and Passport’s (pre-Closing) obligations to consummate any Transaction also shall be subject to the condition that Jones and Buyer shall have delivered such other customary certificates and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Federated or Passport (pre-Closing). Jones’ and Buyer’s obligations to consummate any Transaction also shall be subject to the condition that Federated and Passport (pre-Closing) shall have delivered such other customary certificates and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Jones and Buyer.

9.    Liability and Indemnification.

Nothing in this Section has any application to or effect on: (1) the expense arrangements described Section 3.5 above; or (2) the Liabilities or indemnification obligations under the New Advisory Agreement or the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

9.1    Liability.

(a)    Non-Assumption of Liabilities. All Liabilities of Passport that exist at or prior to Closing that have not been discharged shall remain Liabilities of Passport after Closing. Federated and its Affiliates shall not expressly assume any Liabilities of Passport in connection with the Transactions.

(b)    Pre-Closing Liabilities. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, none of the Transactions shall affect the respective Liabilities of the Parties, or their respective Affiliates, or of the TFMMF or EJMMF, arising from acts taken, or omissions made, or periods of time, at or prior to Closing (collectively, as applicable, the “Pre-Closing Liabilities”); provided, however:

(i)    All known Pre-Closing Liabilities for which Passport (pre-Closing) is responsible, including any relating to the TFMMF or EJMMF (pre-Closing), shall be borne by Federated and Jones in accordance with their Respective Ownership Interests, but only to the extent Passport (pre-Closing) does not have

sufficient assets to satisfy such Pre-Closing Liabilities (it being understood that payment by Passport of such Pre-Closing Liabilities will reduce Passport’s profit/income available for distribution by Passport to Federated and Jones in accordance with their Respective Ownership Interests and that, therefore, Federated and Jones shall indirectly bear such fees, costs and expenses);

(ii)    Federated’s and its Indemnified Parties’ responsibility and Liability from and after Closing for all Pre-Closing Liabilities for which Federated or Passport (pre-Closing), or any other Indemnified Party of Federated, may be responsible or liable (including any such Pre-Closing Liabilities relating to the TFMMF or EJMMF (pre-Closing), or any such Pre-Closing Liabilities for which Federated could be responsible/liable as general partner of Passport (pre-Closing) but for the Passport Transfer), shall be based on Federated’s Respective Ownership Interest and limited to the Federated Indemnification Cap; and

(iii)    Jones’, Buyer’s and their respective Indemnified Parties’ responsibility and Liability from and after Closing for all Pre-Closing Liabilities for which Jones or Passport (post-Closing), or any other respective Indemnified Party of Jones or Passport, may be responsible or liable (including any such Pre-Closing Liabilities relating to TFMMF or EJMMF (pre-Closing)) shall be based on Jones’ Respective Ownership Interest and limited to the Jones Indemnification Cap, except that (for the avoidance of doubt) the Jones Indemnification Cap shall not apply to (A) any Pre-Closing Liability of or relating to Passport for which Federated and its Indemnified Parties are not responsible or liable because of the Federated Indemnification Cap or the other limitations under this Agreement (including Section 9.3 below), or (b) any Non-Definitive Agreement Post-Closing Liabilities of Passport (post-Closing), or of Jones or Buyer as partners of Passport (post-Closing), or of any of their respective Indemnified Parties.

(c)    Post-Closing Liabilities. Notwithstanding Section 9.1(b), with respect to any Liability of Passport (post-Closing), or of Jones or Buyer (including as partners of Passport (post-Closing)), or in either case relating to the EJMMF (post-Closing) (collectively, as applicable, the “Post-Closing Liabilities”), Passport (post-Closing), Jones and Buyer shall be responsible for such Post-Closing Liabilities, as may be agreed between them. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, Post-Closing Liabilities include Liabilities arising from acts taken, or omissions made, or periods of time, from and after the Closing. Neither Federated, nor any of its Indemnified Parties, shall assume or be liable for any Post-Closing Liabilities of Jones, Buyer or Passport (post-Closing), or any of their Indemnified Parties, pursuant to this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document.

9.2    Indemnification.

(d)    Jones and Buyer (jointly and severally), Federated, and Passport shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each other Party, and its Affiliates and Affiliated Persons, and their respective shareholders, controlling persons, trustees, directors, managers, officers, employees, agents, service providers and representatives, and their respective successors and assigns,

(collectively, as applicable, “Indemnified Parties”) for any and all actual Losses that any of them may become subject to, or shall incur or suffer, that arise out of, result from, or relate to (i) such Party’s material breach of any covenant or obligation in, or material inaccuracy of any representation or warranty in, this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document; (ii) any Pre-Closing Liabilities of such Party (or of the TFMMF or EJMMF arising from the acts or omissions of such Party); and (iii) any untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, relating to such Party and its Affiliates and contained in any registration statement, information statement/prospectus on Form N-14, proxy statement on Schedule 14A, or negative consent (including any attachments), or any post-effective or other amendment or supplement thereto, or any other documents or materials, in each case filed with the SEC in connection with obtaining shareholder approval or sent to shareholders of the TFMMF or EJMMF in connection with the consummation of the Transactions; provided, however, that such indemnification under clause (iii) shall relate only to information regarding such Party and its Affiliates included in any of the foregoing or to any omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make any of such statements not misleading. With respect to Passport’s (pre-Closing) obligations under this Section 9.2(a) relating to acts or omissions by Passport at or prior to Closing, Federated and Jones shall be responsible for such obligations of Passport in accordance with their Respective Ownership Interests (subject to the other provisions of this Section 9).

(e)    Jones, Passport (post-Closing) and Buyer, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Federated and its Indemnified Parties for any and all actual Losses that any of them may become subject to, or shall incur or suffer, that arise out of, result from, or relate to any Post-Closing Liabilities of any of them (or of the TFMMF or EJMMF arising from the acts or omissions of any of them).

(f)    In the case of any claim asserted by a third party against a Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, notice shall be given by such indemnified Person to the Party required to provide indemnification promptly after such indemnified Person has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and the indemnified Person shall permit the indemnifying Party (at the expense of such indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of any claim or any Proceeding resulting therefrom, provided, that (i) counsel for the indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or Proceeding shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Person, and the indemnified Person may participate in such defense at such indemnified Person’s expense, and (ii) the failure of any indemnified Person to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement except to the extent that such failure results in a lack of actual notice to the indemnifying Party and such indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to give notice.  Except with the prior written consent of the indemnified Person, no indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the indemnified Person or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified Person of a release from all Liability with respect to such claim or Proceeding.  In the event that the indemnified Person shall in good faith determine that the conduct of the defense of any claim or Proceeding subject to indemnification hereunder or any proposed settlement of any

such claim or Proceeding by the indemnifying Party would reasonably be expected to affect adversely the indemnified Person’s Tax Liability or, in the case of an indemnified Person that is a Federated Indemnified Party, the ability of Federated or any of its Affiliates to conduct its business, or that the indemnified Person may have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the indemnifying Party in respect of such claim or any Proceeding relating thereto, the indemnified Person shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control over the defense, settlement, negotiations or Proceeding relating to any such claim or Proceeding at the sole cost of the indemnifying Party, provided, that if the indemnified Person does so take over and assume control, the indemnified Person shall not settle such claim or Proceeding without the written consent of the indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  In the event that the indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided, the indemnified Person shall have the full right to defend against any such claim or Proceeding, and shall be entitled to settle or agree to pay in full such claim or Proceeding.  In any event, subject to entering into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement, the Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any claim or Proceeding subject to this Section 9.2(c) and make available to the others their respective applicable books and records in connection with such defense.

(g)    If an indemnified Person recovers any amount under this Section 9 in respect of Losses, the indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of this recovery, to the indemnified Person’s rights against any third party with respect to such Losses.

9.3    Limitations. Notwithstanding Sections 9.1 and 9.2 above, the Liability and indemnification obligations of the Parties shall be subject to the following limits, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not affect any Liability or indemnification obligations under the New Advisory Agreement or New Sub-Advisory Agreement):

(a)    Limitations as to Amount:

(vi)    The aggregate Liability of (i) Federated, Passport (pre-Closing), and their respective Affiliates, and (ii) other Federated-related Indemnified Parties, for (1) any Pre-Closing Liabilities, or (2) any Losses or indemnification obligation, shall not exceed $2 million in the aggregate (“Federated Indemnification Cap”).

(vii)    The aggregate Liability of Jones, Buyer and their respective Affiliates, and other Jones- and Buyer-related Indemnified Parties, for (1) any Pre-Closing Liabilities, or (2) any Losses or indemnification obligation, shall not exceed $2 million in the aggregate (“Jones Indemnification Cap”), except for amounts not subject to the Jones Indemnification Cap pursuant to Section 12.1(b)(iii).

(b)    Survival. The representations and warranties and covenants made in this Agreement, or in any Ancillary Closing Document, shall survive Closing for, and any claims arising out of, resulting from, or relating thereto must be brought within, two (2) years after Closing; provided, that, with respect to the covenants in Section 2.4(a) (second paragraph) and Section 4

hereof that require performance beyond two (2) years after the Closing, such covenants shall survive for, and claims for equitable relief may be brought with respect to breaches of such covenants within, five (5) years after Closing.

(c)    Deductible (not a threshold). No claims by Federated or Passport (pre-Closing), on the one hand, or Jones, Passport (post-Closing) or Buyer, on the other hand, shall be asserted under this Section 9 unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses asserted by Federated and Passport (pre-Closing), on the one hand, or Jones, Passport (post-Closing) and Buyer, on the other hand, that would otherwise be payable hereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $50,000 (the “Indemnification Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Indemnification Deductible.

(d)    Limitation on Consequential Damages. No Party shall have any Liability to any other Party for any consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive, exemplary or special damages of any nature (“Consequential Damages”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude any claim for or recovery of any Liability or other Losses incurred or suffered by any Party (or any other Indemnified Party of such Party) in a third-party claim that includes claims for Consequential Damages.

(e)    No “Double Materiality”. For the sole purpose of determining Liability or other Losses under the indemnification obligations under this Agreement (but not for determining whether or not any inaccuracy or breach of representations, warranties or covenants has occurred), any representation, warranty or covenant that contains a “materiality” qualifier shall not be deemed qualified by any such “materiality” qualifier so as to avoid “double materiality.”

(f)    Jones’ and Buyers’ Knowledge. Neither Jones, Buyer nor Passport (post-Closing) shall have any claim for breach of representations, warranties or covenants, nor shall Federated or Passport (pre-Closing) have any Liability for any Pre-Closing Liabilities, or other Liability, Losses or other indemnification obligations, arising out of, resulting from or relating to any fact, event or circumstance of which Jones or Buyer had actual knowledge prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, including as a result of any due diligence conducted by Jones and Buyer or any matters disclosed on any disclosure schedules to this Agreement.

(g)    Exclusive Remedy. Except for any equitable remedies, indemnification under this Section 9 of this Agreement shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for any claims made for any Pre-Closing Liabilities, or other Liabilities or Losses, in connection with, and including breach of, this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document or the Transactions. Each Party hereby waives any provision of applicable law, rule or regulation to the extent that it would limit or restrict the foregoing.

10.    Miscellaneous Provisions.

10.1    Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or delivered when delivered by hand (including by Federal Express or similar express courier) or three (3) calendar days after being

10.2    Entire Agreement. Except as specifically stated in this Section 10.2, this Agreement, including any Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the Ancillary Closing Documents, constitute the entire agreement and contain all understandings, covenants, representations, warranties, statements, courses of dealing or conduct, duties and obligations made by or of the Parties, represent the exclusive statement of all agreements, understandings, covenants, representations, warranties, statements, courses of dealing or conduct, duties and obligations of the Parties, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, covenants, representations, warranties, statements, courses of dealing or conduct, duties and obligations (written or oral, expressed or implied) of, made by or among the Parties, with respect to the Transactions. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the foregoing, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING ANY EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES HERETO OR THE ANCILLARY CLOSING DOCUMENTS, NO PAST OR FUTURE ACTION (INCLUDING ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR OTHER STATEMENTS), COURSE OF CONDUCT OR DEALING, OR FAILURE TO ACT RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY CLOSING DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR THE DISCUSSION OR NEGOTIATION OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY CLOSING DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, SHALL GIVE RISE TO OR SERVE AS A BASIS FOR ANY DUTY, OBLIGATION OR OTHER LIABILITY ON THE PART OF ANY PARTY.

10.3    Amendment; Waiver. Neither this Agreement nor any Ancillary Closing Document may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated except pursuant to an instrument in writing executed and delivered on behalf of each of the Parties hereto, which instrument, when so executed and delivered, shall thereupon become a part of this Agreement or any such Ancillary Closing Document. Any agreement on the part of the Parties to waive any term or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Party or Parties against whom the waiver is to be effective. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other inaccuracy, breach or failure to strictly comply with the provisions of this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document.

10.4    Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or any such Ancillary Closing Document or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any such Ancillary Closing Document in any other jurisdiction so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Closing Documents are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. If any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision

shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement or any such Ancillary Closing Document so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions contemplated hereby and thereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.5    Binding Effect. This Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Parties hereto and each of their respective permitted successors and permitted assigns.

10.6    Assignment. No Party shall delegate its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document without the prior written consent of all Parties. No Party shall assign or otherwise transfer its rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any purported assignment, transfer or delegation other than as permitted by the express terms of this Agreement shall be void and unenforceable.

10.7    Representation By Counsel; Interpretation. Each Party hereto acknowledges that such Party has been represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Closing Documents and the Transactions. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision in this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law, or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived. The section headings in this Agreement and any Ancillary Closing Document are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to affect the interpretation of this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document. Any reference in this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document to any Section refers to the corresponding Section of this Agreement or such Ancillary Closing Document. Any reference in this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document to any Schedule or Exhibit refers to the corresponding Schedule or Exhibit attached to this Agreement or such Ancillary Closing Document and all such Schedules and Exhibits are incorporated herein or therein by reference. The words “include” and “including” in this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document are to be construed as being followed by “without limitation.” Unless the context requires otherwise, any reference to any applicable law, rule or regulation in this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document shall be deemed also to refer to all amendments thereto, in each case as in effect as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date (as applicable). All accounting terms not specifically defined in this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document shall be construed in accordance with GAAP. The word “or” in this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document is disjunctive but not necessarily exclusive (and should be construed, accordingly, as “and/or”). All words in this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document shall be construed to be of such gender or number, as the circumstances require. Unless specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document, any reference to “days” shall mean calendar days.

10.8    Applicable Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH ANCILLARY CLOSING DOCUMENT, SHALL BE GOVERNED IN ALL RESPECTS, INCLUDING AS TO VALIDITY, INTERPRETATION AND EFFECT, BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK (NEW YORK COUNTY). NEW YORK, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY CLOSING DOCUMENT, AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND AGREES NOT TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY CLOSING DOCUMENT IN ANY OTHER COURT. EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SO BROUGHT AND WAIVES ANY BOND, SURETY OR OTHER SECURITY THAT MIGHT BE REQUIRED OF ANY OTHER PARTY WITH RESPECT THERETO. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT OR ANY OTHER PROCESS THAT MIGHT BE SERVED IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE MADE ON SUCH PARTY BY SENDING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF THE PROCESS TO THE PARTY TO BE SERVED AT THE ADDRESS OF THE PARTY AND IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR THE GIVING OF NOTICES IN SECTION 10.1. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 10.8, HOWEVER, SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. EACH PARTY AGREES THAT A FINAL, NON‑APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING SO BROUGHT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE OR REGULATION.

10.9    Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement and any Ancillary Closing Document may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all of which shall be deemed, collectively, one agreement. Once each Party to this Agreement or any Ancillary Closing Document has executed a copy of this Agreement or such Ancillary Closing Document (whether in original, by facsimile or .pdf signature or electronic signature), this Agreement or such Ancillary Closing Document shall be considered fully executed and effective, notwithstanding that all Parties have not executed the same copy.

10.10    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RULE OR REGULATION, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ANCILLARY CLOSING DOCUMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY CLOSING DOCUMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.

THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREE AND CONSENT THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION, IF NOT DETERMINED BY THE COURT PURSUANT TO JUDICIAL PROCEDURE OR SETTLED BY THE PARTIES PRIOR TO TRIAL, SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN EXECUTED COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

10.11    Further Assurances. Each Party shall cooperate and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by any other Party in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Closing Documents and to consummate the Transactions.

10.12    Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement, any Ancillary Closing Document or any other instrument, agreement or document, on any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement and their respective legal representatives and permitted successors and permitted assigns, nor shall any provision give any third party any right or subrogation or action over or against any Party to this Agreement.

10.13    Announcements; Publicity. Each Party (and its Affiliates) shall not make any public announcements or disclosure prior to the Closing relating to this Agreement, the Ancillary Closing Documents, any Post-Closing EJMMF-Related Document, or any Transaction until after such Party has submitted, reasonably in advance, the text of such announcement or disclosure to the other Parties and each other Party has had a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon and has consented to the release of such public announcement or disclosure (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that any Party may make such disclosures as are required by applicable law, rule or regulation after making reasonable efforts under the circumstances to consult in advance with the other Parties. To avoid unnecessary delays, the Parties shall agree upon a schedule for, and the content of, public disclosures regarding the Transactions.
