The Merger.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Merger will have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub will vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all of the debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub will become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation will, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated so as to read in its entirety in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto, until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law. In addition, Parent and the Company shall take such actions reasonably necessary to cause the bylaws of the Company to be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to read as the bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, and as so amended and restated to thereafter be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation (except that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Spirit Airlines, Inc.”), until thereafter amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to cause the directors of the Company to resign as of the Effective Time and to cause the persons who are the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to, from and after the Effective Time, be the sole directors of the Surviving Corporation,

If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation determines, in its sole discretion, or is advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such corporations or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Corporation or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

Closing and Effective Time of the Merger. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 9:00 a.m., Eastern time, on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), such date to be no later than the third Business Day after satisfaction or written waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the fulfillment or written waiver of those conditions at the Closing), at the offices of Shearman & Sterling LLP, 599 Lexington Avenue, New York, NY 10022, unless another time, date or place is agreed to by the parties hereto. On the Closing Date, or on such other date as Parent and the Company may agree to, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will cause the certificate of merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (subject to such changes as may be mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company, the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and will make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL. The Merger will become effective at the time the Certificate of Merger will have been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such other date and time as is agreed upon by the parties and specified in the Certificate of Merger, such date and time hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time.”

Conversion of Securities in the Merger. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities:

Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share (“Share”) of Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares) will be converted into the right to receive, upon surrender of the Certificate formerly representing such Shares in the case of certificated Shares, or automatically in the case of Book-Entry Shares formerly representing such Shares, in accordance with Section 2.2, an amount in cash per Share, without interest, equal to (such amount, the “Merger Consideration”) (i) $33.50 minus (ii) (A) to the extent paid (or, in the event that the Closing Date occurs after the Approval Prepayment Record Date but before the Approval Prepayment Date, to the extent payable after the Closing Date), the Approval Prepayment Amount and (B) the lesser of (1) $1.15 and (2) the Aggregate Additional Prepayment Amount. At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate and Book-Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any of the Shares (other than Shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and other than Dissenting Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All Shares that are held in the treasury of the Company, and all Shares owned of record by Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective wholly owned Subsidiaries, will be cancelled and will cease to exist, with no payment being made with respect thereto.

Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one (1) newly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, and such shares shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the preceding sentence.

Payment and Issuance of Merger Consideration; Surrender of Company Certificates.

Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent will designate a reputable bank or trust company, reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as the paying agent for purposes of effecting the payment and issuance of the Merger Consideration in connection with the Merger (the “Paying Agent”). At or immediately following the Effective Time (but in any event substantially concurrently with the Closing), Parent or Merger Sub will deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration to which holders of Shares will be entitled at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund will be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent, in its sole discretion, pending payment thereof by the Paying Agent to the holders of the Shares. Earnings resulting from such investments will be the sole and exclusive property of Parent, and no part of such earnings will accrue to the benefit of holders of Shares. Any losses resulting from such investments shall not impact Parent’s obligations under this Article 2, and in the event of any such losses, Parent shall take all actions necessary to cause to deposit into the Payment Fund sufficient cash to satisfy Parent’s obligations under this Article 2.

Procedures for Surrender. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time (and in any event, within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent will cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that represented Shares (the “Certificates”), which Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration at the Effective Time pursuant to this Agreement: (i) a letter of transmittal, which will specify that delivery will be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates (if any) will pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Paying Agent, and will otherwise be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent or the Paying Agent may reasonably specify and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, and upon delivery of a letter of transmittal, duly executed and in proper form, with respect to such Certificates, the holder of such Certificates will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificates. Any Certificates so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Shares formerly represented by such Certificates. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name any surrendered Certificate is registered, it will be a condition precedent of payment that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed or will be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such payment will have paid any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate so surrendered or will have established to the satisfaction of the Paying Agent that such Taxes either have been paid or are not payable. Any holder of non-certificated Shares represented

Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Shares. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed and thereafter there will be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided for herein or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, then (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 2.2(b)) they will be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

Termination of Payment Fund; Abandoned Property; No Liability. At any time following the first anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest accrued with respect thereto) not disbursed to holders of Certificates, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(b). If, prior to six (6) years after the Effective Time (or otherwise immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), any holder of Certificates has not complied with the procedures in Section 2.2(b) to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, the payment in respect of such Certificates will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent will be liable to any holder of a Certificate for Merger Consideration properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof; provided, however, that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a customary affidavit of loss and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Paying Agent and any other applicable withholding agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or any other Person such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder or any applicable provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law; provided, that withholding for Merger Consideration or other payments received in respect of Company RSU Awards, Company Performance Share Awards and 2022 Company Performance Share Awards shall be effected as cash and net share withholding in proportion to the type of consideration payable to the holder thereof. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or other Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and has properly demanded appraisal for such Shares in accordance with, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (such Shares, the “Dissenting Shares”) will not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and will instead represent the right to receive only the payment provided by Section 262 of the DGCL. If any such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws or loses his, her or its right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such holder to receive such payment in respect of such Dissenting Shares will cease and such Dissenting Shares will be deemed to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into and will be exchangeable solely for the right to receive the Merger Consideration and shall no longer be Dissenting Shares. The Company will give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights to be paid the fair value of Dissenting Shares, and Parent will have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and Proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demands, or approve any withdrawal of any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Treatment of Company Equity Awards; Stock Plans.

Treatment of Company RSU Awards. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding award of restricted stock units (other than Company Performance Share Awards, the treatment of which in connection with the Merger shall be as provided in Section 2.4(b), but including, for clarity, performance market stock unit awards denominated in Company Common Stock granted pursuant to any Company Equity Award Plan (each, a “Company MSU Award”) and performance share awards denominated in Company Common Stock granted in fiscal year 2022 pursuant to any Company Equity Award Plan (each, a “2022 Company Performance Share Award”) denominated in Company Common Stock granted pursuant to any Company Equity Award Plan (each, a “Company RSU Award”), shall be assumed by Parent and converted into for each share of Company Common Stock underlying the related Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (treating for this purpose any performance-based vesting condition to which a Company MSU Award or 2022 Company Performance Share Award is subject as having been achieved based on target performance as of immediately prior to the Effective Time), the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of: (x) the Merger Consideration, subject to the same vesting schedule applicable to the related Company RSU Award, plus (y) solely to the extent (1) the related Company RSU Award has not been otherwise equitably or discretionarily adjusted under the Company Equity Award Plans and no amount has been otherwise paid in respect of the related Company RSU Award to the holder thereof under the Company Equity Award Plans, in each case, to reflect the Approval Prepayment, and (2) paid pursuant to Section 5.18(a) (or, in the event that the Closing Date occurs after the Approval Prepayment Record Date but before the Approval Prepayment Date, to the extent payable after the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.18(a)), the Approval Prepayment Amount, plus (z) solely to the extent the related Company RSU Award has not been otherwise equitably or discretionarily adjusted under the Company Equity Award Plans and no amount has been otherwise paid in respect of the related Company RSU Award to the holder thereof under the Company Equity Award Plans, in each case, to reflect any Additional Prepayment, any Additional Prepayment Amounts not yet paid to the holder of such Company RSU Award.

Treatment of Company Performance Share Awards. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding performance share award denominated in Company Common Stock granted pursuant to the Company Equity Award Plans (other than, for clarity, Company MSU Awards and 2022 Company Performance Share Awards, the treatment of which in connection with the Merger shall be as provided in Section 2.4(a)) (each, a “Company Performance Share Award”) shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, immediately prior to the Effective Time and subject to the occurrence of the

Withholding and Delayed Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, the Approval Prepayment Amount and the Aggregate Additional Prepayment Amount or Additional Prepayment Amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) shall be paid, less all applicable tax and other withholdings; provided, however, that in the event that any payment of the Approval Prepayment Amount or any Aggregate Additional Prepayment Amount or Additional Prepayment Amount pursuant to Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b) in accordance with the vesting schedule of the related Company Equity Award shall be subject to: (i) any compensation restrictions imposed by any Government Support Law, such payment shall be made promptly following the date that the payment becomes payable without violating such Government Support Law restrictions, and (ii) Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be paid at the earliest time permitted under the terms of the underlying award agreement of the Company Equity Award and the applicable Company Equity Award Plan relating to such Company Equity Award in order to not trigger a tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, and all such adjustments and modifications to the form and timing of such payment shall be made in compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

Termination of Company Equity Award Plans. After the Effective Time, all Company Equity Award Plans will be terminated, and no further Company Equity Awards or other rights with respect to Shares will be granted thereunder.

Corporate Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, Parent, the Company Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof) and the Parent Board (or a duly authorized committee thereof), as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.4. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation will be required to deliver to any Person any Shares or other Equity Interests of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Equity Awards or other rights with respect to Shares. At or prior to the earlier of (i) the Approval Prepayment Date and (ii) the first Additional Prepayment Date (such date, the “First Additional Prepayment Date”), the Company Board shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions to ensure that each outstanding Company Equity Award that vests during the period commencing on the First Additional Prepayment Date through the day immediately prior to the Closing Date shall receive, solely to the extent the related Company Equity Award has not been otherwise equitably or discretionarily adjusted under the Company Equity Award Plans or paid pursuant to Sections 5.18(a) and 5.18(c), an amount in cash equal to the Approval Prepayment Amount and any Additional Prepayment Amounts actually paid prior to the applicable vesting date upon the settlement of such Company Equity Award. For the avoidance of doubt, such Company Equity Awards shall no longer be outstanding and subject to Sections 2.4(a) and 2.4(b), as the case may be.

Treatment of Company Warrants. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent Board will adopt resolutions and take all other actions necessary and appropriate, including an assignment and assumption agreement in accordance with the applicable warrant agreement, to provide that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Company Warrants shall be assumed by Parent and shall be converted into warrants exercisable for the Merger Consideration (the “Parent Assumed Warrants”) and (ii) Parent shall assume the due and punctual performance and observance of each and every covenant, agreement and condition of the Company Warrant Agreements, such that the Parent Assumed Warrants as so assumed and converted shall continue to have, and shall be subject to, the same terms and conditions as applied to the Company Warrants immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Certain Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend or stock distribution thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration, the Approval Prepayment Amount, any Additional Prepayment Amount and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted to provide the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Parent has delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of the executed Debt Commitment Letter (other than the redacted portions of any fee letters, which redactions shall be limited to pricing, fee amounts, price flex and other economic terms and in no case shall such redactions relate to terms that would be reasonably likely to adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or aggregate amount of the Debt Financing).

As of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, assuming the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 are satisfied (other than those that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), Parent has no reason to believe that (i) any of the Financing Conditions will not be satisfied or (ii) the Debt Financing will not be made available to Parent on the Closing Date. There are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Debt Financing other than the Financing Conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter.

Each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will be Solvent as of immediately after the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent”, when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (i) the sum of the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (ii) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person, as of such date, on its existing debts (including contingent and other liabilities) as such debts become absolute and mature, (b) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (c) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities, as of such date, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, as of such date, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

The Company will not terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing standstill or confidentiality agreement to which it is a party, and the Company will enforce the provisions of any such agreement; provided, however, that the Company may grant a waiver of, and will not be obligated to enforce, any such provision (i) to the extent required to permit a party to submit an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to grant such waiver would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the directors of the Company to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law and (iii) the Company promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notifies Parent of any such waiver, amendment or release.

From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company will promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) (i) notify Parent of (A) any inquiry, proposal or offer (whether written or oral) relating to an Acquisition Proposal (including any material modification thereto) that is received by the Company or any of its respective Representatives from any Person (other than Parent and Merger Sub) or (B) any inquiries, requests, proposals or offers received by, or any discussions or negotiations sought to be initiated or continued with the Company or any of its respective Representatives concerning an Acquisition Proposal and (ii) disclose to Parent the identity of such person making, and provide an unredacted copy of, any such written Acquisition Proposal or any such inquiry, expression of interest, request, proposal or offer made in writing (or, if made orally, a reasonably detailed description of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, request, proposal or offer).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), if at any time on or after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (1) receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and (2) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, (i) the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party, (ii) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3, (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, (iv) after consultation with its outside counsel, the Company Board determines in good faith that the failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the directors of the Company to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law and (v) the Company receives from such Person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, then the Company may take the following actions: (A) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements and/or (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal; provided, that (x) the Company provides written notice to Parent of the determination referenced in clause (iii) and clause (iv) promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) and (y) the Company will provide to Parent in writing any information concerning the Company provided to such other Person which was not previously provided to Parent or the Parent Representatives prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person. The Company will deliver to Parent a copy of any executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement promptly following its execution.

Subject to Section 5.3(f) and Section 5.3(g), from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither the Company, the Company Board nor any committee thereof will, or will publicly propose to, (i) withhold, withdraw or qualify (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent) (or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, qualify or so modify) the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any such committee of this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iii) approve, recommend, or otherwise

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if (i) the Company has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from a third party that did not result from a breach of this Section 5.3 and that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, constitutes a Superior Proposal, after giving effect to all of the adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that have been delivered to the Company by Parent in writing during the Notice Period (or any extension thereof) provided pursuant to this Section 5.3(f), and (ii) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that a failure to make a Change of Board Recommendation and/or cause the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the directors of the Company to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, then, prior to the time (but not after) the Company Required Vote is obtained, the Company Board may take the following actions: (y) effect a Change of Board Recommendation with respect to such Superior Proposal or (z) terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (z), and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (z) will be void and of no force or effect, unless the Company concurrently pays the Breakup Fee in accordance with Section 7.2(b); and provided, further, that the Company Board may not effect a Change of Board Recommendation pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (z) unless:

the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent, at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), of the Company’s intention to take such action with respect to such Superior Proposal (it being understood that the delivery of such notice and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, update or amendment will not, by itself, constitute a Change of Board Recommendation or otherwise give rise to a Triggering Event), which notice will specify the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including all of the information that is specified in Section 5.3(c)), and the Company has contemporaneously provided a copy of all relevant proposed transaction agreements with the party making such Superior Proposal;

prior to effecting such Change of Board Recommendation or terminating this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, the Company will, during the Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, that in the event of any material revisions to the Superior Proposal, the Company will be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.3(f) with respect to such new written notice; provided, further, that the Notice Period for any subsequent notice will be shortened from four (4) Business Days to two (2) Business Days; and

the Notice Period (and any extension thereof) shall have expired.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to the time (but not after) the Company Required Vote is obtained, the Company Board may make a Change of Board Recommendation for an Intervening Event if the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event and taking into account the results of any negotiations with Parent as contemplated by subsection (ii) below and any offer from Parent contemplated by subsection (iii) below, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the directors of the Company to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company Board may not withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent pursuant to the foregoing unless:

the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), of the Company’s intention to make a Change of Board Recommendation (it being understood that the delivery of such notice and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, update or amendment shall not, by itself, constitute a Change of Board Recommendation or otherwise give rise to a Triggering Event), which notice shall specify the Company Board’s reason for proposing to effect such Change of Board Recommendation and shall describe in reasonable detail the Intervening Event;

prior to effecting such Change of Board Recommendation, the Company shall, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement in such a manner that would obviate the need for the Company Board to effect such Change of Board Recommendation;

Parent shall not have, within the Intervening Event Notice Period, made an offer to modify the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which is set forth in a definitive written amendment to this Agreement delivered to the Company and executed on behalf of Parent and Merger Sub, that the Company Board has in good faith determined (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) would obviate the need for the Company Board to effect such Change of Board Recommendation; and

the Intervening Event Notice Period shall have expired.

Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company (i) from taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders that the Company Board determines to make in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel) in order to fulfill its fiduciary duties under, or in order to otherwise comply with, applicable Law, in each case, so long as (A) any such disclosure includes the Company Board Recommendation without any modification thereof, and (B) does not contain a Change of Board Recommendation.

Proxy Statement; Company Stockholder Meeting.

As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (and in any event no later than twenty (20) Business Days after the date of this Agreement), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement in preliminary form relating to the Company Stockholder Meeting (such proxy statement, including any amendment or supplement thereto, the “Proxy Statement”). The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the Proxy Statement, when filed, to comply in all material respects with all legal requirements applicable thereto and (ii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to and resolve all comments received from the SEC or its staff concerning the Proxy Statement. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement, or response to SEC comments with respect thereto, will be made by the Company without Parent’s prior consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and without providing Parent and its outside counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Company shall consider in good faith all comments reasonably proposed by Parent; provided, however, that the Company, in connection with a Change of Board Recommendation, may amend or supplement the Proxy Statement (including by incorporation by reference) pursuant to a Qualifying Amendment to effect such change, and in such event, the right of approval set forth in this Section 5.4(a) shall apply only with respect to such information relating to Parent or Merger Sub, and shall be subject to the right of Parent to have its board of directors’ deliberations and conclusions be accurately described therein. The Company will cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement Clearance Date. The Company will promptly notify Parent upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the

The Company shall duly establish a record date for and duly call, give notice of and hold a meeting of its stockholders (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) as soon as reasonably practicable after the Proxy Statement Clearance Date for the purpose of voting on the adoption of this Agreement, provided that the Company Stockholder Meeting shall not be initially scheduled to occur later than forty-five (45) days following the Proxy Statement Clearance Date. In furtherance of the foregoing and in consultation with Parent, as soon as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall set a preliminary record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting and commence a broker search pursuant to Section 14a-13 of the Exchange Act. The Company shall not, without the consent of Parent, adjourn or postpone, cancel, recess or reschedule, the Company Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting (i) with the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (ii) if a quorum has not been established; (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company has determined in good faith after consultation with outside counsel is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting; (iv) to allow reasonable additional time to solicit additional proxies, if and to the extent the Company reasonably believes the requisite Company Stockholder Approval would not otherwise be obtained; or (v) if required by Law; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), the Company Stockholder Meeting shall not be postponed or adjourned (x) to a date later than the third (3^rd) Business Day preceding the Outside Date (as it may be extended pursuant to Section 7.1(e)) or (y) for more than ten (10) Business Days in the aggregate from the Originally Scheduled Date, in each case, without the prior written consent of Parent;

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.3, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its stockholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, and to take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the Company Stockholder Approval. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if, at the time of the Originally Scheduled Date, a quorum has not been established or the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Shares for the Company Stockholder Approval, then the Company shall, at the request of Parent (to the extent permitted by Law), adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting to a date specified by Parent; provided, that the Company shall not be required pursuant to this sentence to adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting more than two (2) times or for more than ten (10) Business Days in the aggregate from the Originally Scheduled Date; provided, further, that in no event shall the Company Stockholder Meeting be postponed or adjourned pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) and Section 5.4(b) by more than twenty (20) Business Days in the aggregate from the Originally Scheduled Date. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by Law to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company in connection with the adoption of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) that the Company will propose to be acted on by the stockholders of the Company at the Company Stockholder Meeting. The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Article 7, the Company’s obligations to hold the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to this Section 5.4 will not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal or by any Change of Board Recommendation.

In the event Parent or the Surviving Corporation (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then proper provision will be made so that such continuing or surviving corporation or entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, will assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.9.

The obligations under this Section 5.9 will (i) continue, notwithstanding any six (6)-year limitation referred to above, until the final disposition of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought or commenced during such six (6)-year period and (ii) not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee to whom this Section 5.9 applies without the consent of such affected indemnitee (it being expressly agreed that the indemnitees to whom this Section 5.9 applies will be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.9).

By Parent or the Company, if the Company Required Vote shall not have been obtained at the Company Stockholder Meeting duly convened therefor, including at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Effect of Termination.

In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 7.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and of no effect, and there will be no liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries, officers or directors except (i) the Confidentiality Agreement (as amended hereby) and Section 3.34, Section 4.13, the last two sentences of Section 5.2, the expense reimbursement and indemnification obligations in Section 5.17(c), Section 5.18(e), Section 5.18(f), this Section 7.2 and Article 8 shall remain in effect and (ii) subject to Section 7.2(g), nothing herein shall relieve any party from any liabilities or damages incurred or suffered by a party as a result of the Intentional Breach by another party of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to the date of such termination, in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or equity.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) or Section 7.1(d), then the Company will pay to Parent prior to or concurrent with such termination, in the case of a termination by the Company, or within two (2) Business Days thereafter, in the case of a termination by Parent, the Breakup Fee.

In the event that (i) this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(e), Section 7.1(f) (solely with respect to any Intentional Breach of Section 5.3 or Section 5.4) or Section 7.1(h), (ii) prior to the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting (or prior to the termination of this Agreement if there has been no Company Stockholder Meeting) an Acquisition Proposal will have been publicly announced and is not withdrawn and (iii) within 12 months following the termination of this Agreement, the Company consummates any Acquisition Proposal or enters into a definitive written agreement providing for the consummation of any Acquisition Proposal which is ultimately consummated, then, concurrently with the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal, the Company will pay to Parent the Breakup Fee; provided, that for purposes of this Section 7.2(c), the term “Acquisition Proposal” will have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 8.4, except that the references to “20%” will be deemed to be references to “50%”.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(h), the Company will pay to Parent the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement up to $25,000,000 (the “Expense Reimbursement”), with such payment being made concurrently with the termination of this Agreement by the Company or within two (2) Business Days of a termination of this Agreement by Parent.

In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(b) (solely to the extent the Order giving rise to such termination right relates to applicable U.S. federal Competition Laws) or Section 7.1(e) (solely to the extent that, at the time of such termination, the conditions in Section 6.1(b)(i) or Section 6.1(c) (solely to the extent of an Order, other action or Law relating to applicable US federal Competition Laws) shall not have been satisfied) and at the time of either such termination all of the other conditions set forth in Section 6.1 (other than Section 6.1(c) (to the extent the Order, other action or Law giving rise to the failure of such condition relates to applicable U.S. federal Competition Laws)) and the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 have been satisfied (or, in the case of conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, are capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur on the date of such termination), then (i) solely to the extent that the Remaining Parent Regulatory Fee is greater than zero, (1) Parent shall pay directly to the stockholders of the Company as of a record date that is five (5) Business Days following the date of such termination (the “Remaining Regulatory Fee Record Date”) an amount per Share in cash equal to the Remaining Regulatory Fee Per Share Amount and (2) Parent shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Remaining Regulatory Fee Award Amount, in each case on the second (2^nd) Business Day following the Remaining Regulatory Fee Record Date, and (ii) Parent shall pay the Company a fee in the amount of $70,000,000 (the “Additional Parent Regulatory Fee”) within two (2) Business Days following the date of such termination; provided, however, that neither the Remaining Parent Regulatory Fee nor the Additional Parent Regulatory Fee shall be payable by Parent pursuant to this Section 7.2(e) if the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b) (solely to the extent the Order giving rise to such termination right relates to applicable U.S. federal Competition Laws) or Section 7.1(e) (solely to the extent that, at the time of such termination, the conditions in Section 6.1(b)(i) shall not have been satisfied) to be satisfied is the result of breach by the Company of its obligations set forth in Section 5.5 and Parent would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement as a result of such breach under Section 7.1(f).

Within five (5) Business Days of the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(f), the Company shall pay to Parent in cash an amount equal to the sum of all amounts paid by Parent to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 5.18(a) and Section 5.18(c) (such amount, the “Company Termination Fee”).

In no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Breakup Fee to Parent on more than one occasion, and in no event shall Parent be required to pay any portion of the Parent Regulatory Fee or the Additional Parent Regulatory Fee on more than one occasion. Any payment of the Expense Reimbursement shall reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, any Breakup Fee that becomes due and payable under Section 7.2(c). All payments to

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) in the event that the Breakup Fee or the Company Termination Fee is paid or payable pursuant to this Section 7.2, Parent’s right to receive payment of the Breakup Fee or the Company Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and its Affiliates and Representatives against the Company and its Affiliates and Representatives under this Agreement or arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and upon payment of such amount(s), neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Representatives shall have any liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case whether based on contract, tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable Law or otherwise, and (ii) in the event that the Remaining Parent Regulatory Fee and the Additional Parent Regulatory Fee are paid or payable pursuant to this Section 7.2, the right of the stockholders of the Company to receive prepayments pursuant to Section 5.18 and payment of the Remaining Parent Regulatory Fee and the Company’s right to receive payment of the Additional Parent Regulatory Fee, the Approval Awards

Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub by action taken by or on behalf of their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company or of Merger Sub; provided, however, that that no amendment, modification or supplement shall be made to this Agreement that would adversely affect the rights of the Financing Sources as set forth in Section 8.9, Section 8.12 or this Section 7.3 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment or waiver of such provision would modify the substance of the foregoing provisions) without the consent of the Financing Sources; provided, further, that, after adoption of this Agreement by such stockholders, no amendment may be made which, by Law or in accordance with the rules of any relevant stock exchange, requires further approval by such stockholders without obtaining such further approval. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto that expressly refers to this Section 7.3.

Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any Uncured Inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby that expressly refers to this Section 7.4, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Effective Time. This Section 8.1 will not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties hereto which by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time.

Fees and Expenses. Subject to Section 7.2, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.

Notices. Any notices or other communications required or permitted under, or otherwise given in connection with, this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (i) when delivered or sent if delivered in Person or sent by email transmission (provided, that (x) confirmation of email transmission is obtained and (y) any notice received by email transmission or otherwise at the addressee’s location on any Business Day after 5:00 p.m. (addressee’s local time) shall be deemed to have been received at 9:00 a.m. (addressee’s local time) on the next Business Day) or (ii) on the next Business Day if transmitted by national overnight courier service, in each case as follows:

Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by reason of any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Exhibits, Parent Disclosure Schedules and Company Disclosure Schedules and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Parties in Interest. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party and their respective successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever (including Section 5.8) under or by reason of this Agreement except for (i) the individuals referenced in Section 5.9 and (ii) the Financing Source Parties, which are express third-party beneficiaries of Section 7.3, this Section 8.9 and Section 8.12 and entitled to enforce such provisions against each of the parties hereto.

Assignment. This Agreement will not be assigned by any party by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, that (i) Parent or Merger Sub may assign any of their respective rights and obligations to any direct or indirect Subsidiary prior to the mailing of the Proxy Statement, but no such assignment will relieve Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, of its obligations hereunder and (ii) Parent and Merger Sub may assign its rights under this Agreement to the Financing Sources as collateral security, but no such assignment under clause (i) or (ii) will relieve Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, of its obligations hereunder.

Mutual Drafting; Interpretation. Each party has participated in the drafting of this Agreement, which each party acknowledges is the result of extensive negotiations between the parties. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number will include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender will include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender will include masculine and feminine genders. As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, will not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Exhibits,” “Annexes” and “Schedules” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules to this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to “$” are intended to refer to U.S. dollars. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any Law defined or referred to herein will refer to such Law as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein, the term “or” will not be deemed to be exclusive. Documents, materials and information are deemed to have been “made available” to Parent and Merger Sub, if such documents, materials or information were available for review by such person and its Representatives through the electronic data room entitled “Galaxy New,” which is hosted by Datasite (www.datasite.com) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or disclosed in a Company SEC Document filed and publicly available, in each case, at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement. The phrase “ordinary course of business” means an action taken, or omitted to be taken, by any Person in the ordinary course of such Person’s business consistent with past practice, including any COVID-19 Changes. References to “days” will mean “calendar days” unless expressly stated otherwise. References to a person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period will be excluded, and if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period will end on the immediately following Business Day. No specific provision, representation or warranty will limit the applicability of a more general provision, representation or warranty. It is the intent of the parties hereto that each representation, warranty, covenant, condition and agreement contained in this Agreement will be given full, separate, and independent effect and that such provisions are cumulative.

Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

This Agreement will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to laws that may be applicable under conflicts of laws principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party agrees that any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source Parties in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing, Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated thereby or the performance thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Laws provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”), or, if the Chancery Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction of the action or proceeding, any Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such court, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.3. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the parties hereto agrees (v) that any action of any kind or nature, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, against a Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Debt Financing or the
