(b)  Nothing herein shall be deemed a release or termination of Astra’s obligations to the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder under or in respect of the Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document to the extent that such obligations are expressly stated to survive the payment of the Total Payoff Amount including, without limitation, any contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted (collectively, the “Continuing Obligations”).

4.  Collateral Agent. From and after the Specified Time, the Collateral Agent shall have no further obligations under the Payoff Transaction Documents and no further rights in and to the Collateral. In connection with this Termination Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the Collateral Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits afforded to it under the Security Agreement and the Payoff Transaction Documents, as if such rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits were fully set forth herein mutatis mutandis.

5.  Attorneys’ Fee. Upon the Effective Time, the Company shall have paid all fees, charges, expenses and disbursements of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of this Termination Agreement and release of the security interests to those persons and in the amount identified on Schedule II hereto (the “Total Payoff Amount”). The time that the Total Payoff Amount shall have been received by the persons identified on Schedule II hereto is referred to herein as the “Specified Time”.

6.  Acknowledgment of Note Balances. By the execution and delivery of this Termination Agreement:

(a)  The Company represents and warrants that the undersigned Noteholders hold 100% of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Notes; and

(b)  The Company and each Noteholder acknowledge and agree that, as of the Effective Date (i) the aggregate Principal Amount of each Note held by such Noteholder is set forth opposite the name of such Note of such Noteholder on Schedule I hereto under the column heading “Outstanding Principal Amount” and (ii) the aggregate amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such aggregate Principal Amount of such Note to but excluding the Effective Date is set forth on Schedule I hereto opposite such Note of such Noteholder under the column heading “Accrued and Unpaid Interest”.

(c)  The Company and each Noteholder acknowledge and agree that any release or termination provided by the Collateral Agent pursuant to or in connection with this Termination Agreement is provided without any representation, warranty or recourse by or to the Collateral Agent, and the Collateral Agent is not responsible for the content or sufficiency of any such documents; it being understood that all such documents have been prepared by or on behalf of Astra.

7.  Reinstatement. Astra agrees that if, at any time, the Merger is rescinded or all or any part of the Total Payoff Amount is or must be rescinded or returned by the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder for any reason whatsoever (including the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving Astra), all Obligations and all other obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or part thereof which were intended to be satisfied by any such payment or proceeds, to the extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, shall be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application by the Collateral Agent or such Noteholder, and the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (but, for the avoidance of doubt, other than any Liens and security interests granted thereunder) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Obligation and other obligations, all as though such application by the Collateral Agent or such Noteholder had not been made. Astra agrees to promptly correct, by means of all appropriate payments, any nonpayment, claim, refund or dishonor of any amounts, checks or other similar items which have been credited by the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder to any account of Astra with the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder in determining the Total Payoff Amount, together with any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses or other reasonable and documented charges related thereto, and any clerical errors that may have been made in the calculation of the Total Payoff Amount. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

8.  Release.

(a)  In addition, upon the Specified Time, Astra (on behalf of itself and its respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates), its successors-in-title, legal representatives and assignees and, to the extent the same is claimed by right of, through or under Astra, for its past, present and future employees, agents, representatives, officers, directors, shareholders, and trustees, does hereby and shall be deemed to have forever remised, released and discharged the Collateral Agent and Noteholders, their respective Affiliates, and any of the respective successors-in-title, legal representatives and assignees, past, present and future officers, directors, shareholders, trustees, agents, employees, consultants, experts, advisors, attorneys and other professionals and all other persons and entities to whom the Collateral Agent, any Noteholder, or any of their respective Affiliates would be liable if such persons or entities were found to be liable to Astra (collectively hereinafter the “Releasees”), from any and all manner of action and actions, cause and causes of action, claims, charges, demands, counterclaims, suits, debts, dues, sums of money, accounts,

reckonings, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, contracts, controversies, damages, judgments, expenses, executions, liens, claims of liens, claims of costs, penalties, attorneys’ fees, or any other compensation, recovery or relief on account of any liability, obligation, demand or cause of action of whatever nature, whether in law, equity or otherwise (including without limitation those arising under 11 U.S.C. §§ 541-550 and interest or other carrying costs, penalties, legal, accounting and other professional fees and expenses, and incidental, consequential and punitive damages payable to third parties), whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, joint and/or several, secured or unsecured, due or not due, primary or secondary, liquidated or unliquidated, contractual or tortious, direct, indirect, or derivative, asserted or unasserted, foreseen or unforeseen, suspected or unsuspected, now existing, heretofore existing or which may heretofore accrue against any of the Releasees, whether held in a personal or representative capacity, and which are based on any act, fact, event or omission or other matter, cause or thing (each, a “Claim”) occurring at or from any time prior to and including the date hereof in any way, directly or indirectly arising out of, connected with or relating to this Termination Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated thereby, and all other agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents and statements (whether written or oral) related to any of the foregoing).

(b)  Astra knowingly, voluntarily, intentionally and expressly grants such release on such terms set forth above notwithstanding that Astra may hereafter discover facts in addition to, or different from, those which that party now knows or believes to be true, and without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of such different or additional facts, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable requirements of law, expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits that Astra may have under any statute, procedural rule, common law principle, in equity or otherwise which would limit the effect of the foregoing release. Astra hereby agrees and acknowledges that the foregoing waiver was separately bargained for. This waiver is an essential term of this Termination Agreement, without which the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders would not have agreed for the Collateral Agent to execute this Termination Agreement. The release contained herein and the related provisions shall survive the termination of the Purchase Agreement and payment in full of the Obligations. Astra expressly acknowledges and agrees that the release in favor of the Releasees contained in this Termination Agreement shall not be construed as an admission of any wrongdoing, liability or culpability on the part of the Releasees, or as an admission by the Releasees of the existence of any Claims by Astra against the Releasees. Astra hereby agrees, represents, and warrants that it has not voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, assigned, conveyed, transferred or encumbered, either directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any right to or interest in any of the Claims released hereby. Astra acknowledges and agrees that (a) it has been represented by independent legal counsel of its own choice throughout all of the negotiations that preceded the execution of this Termination Agreement and that it has executed this Termination Agreement after having received the advice of such independent legal counsel and (b) it and its counsel have had an adequate opportunity to make whatever investigation or inquiry they deem necessary or desirable in connection with the release of the Claims hereby. Astra acknowledges that the laws of many states provide substantially the following: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.” Astra acknowledges that such provisions are designed to protect a person from waiving Claims which such person does not know exist or may exist. As to each and every Claim released hereunder, Astra hereby represents that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, agrees that it shall be deemed to waive any such provision (including, without limitation, Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California), if any, pertaining to general releases after having been advised by their legal counsel with respect thereto.

9.  Miscellaneous.

(a)  The Noteholders hereby direct the Collateral Agent to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, at Astra’s sole cost and expense, all things commercially reasonably requested by Astra to consummate the transactions set forth in this Termination Agreement, including, but not limited to, the execution and delivery of such further documents (that are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, without representation, warranty or recourse) as may be prepared by Astra and reasonably requested to be executed to effectuate the purposes of this Termination Agreement.

(b)  The section headings in this Termination Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing this Termination Agreement.

(c)  This Termination Agreement shall be binding upon and is solely for the benefit of the Parties. If any provision of this Termination Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the other provisions of this Termination Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. This Termination Agreement may not be amended or modified except in a writing signed by all Parties.

(d)  This Termination Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware. The provisions of Section 18 of the Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein mutatis mutandis.

(e)  This Termination Agreement constitutes the entire agreement by and between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof. The terms and conditions of this Termination Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the Parties. Except as otherwise provided in this Termination Agreement, nothing in this Termination Agreement is intended to confer upon any Party, other than the Parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Termination Agreement.

(f)  This Termination Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart signature page delivered by facsimile, email (e.g., .pdf) or other electronic signature shall be deemed to be and have the same force and effect as an originally executed signature page.
