Operation of Parent’s Business (a) Except as set forth on Section 4.1 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as expressly permitted by this Agreement, as required by applicable Law or unless the Company shall otherwise consent in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 and the Effective Time (the “Pre-Closing Period”) each of Parent and the Merger Sub shall conduct its business and operations in the Ordinary Course of Business and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws (including maintaining compliance in all material respects with the applicable listing and governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq) and the requirements of all Contracts that constitute Parent Material Contracts.
Maintenance of Company Separateness The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, satisfy customary Business formalities, including (to the maximum extent required under applicable Business laws) the holding of regular board of directors’ and shareholders’ meetings or action by directors or shareholders without a meeting and the maintenance of Business records. Neither the Company nor any other Credit Party shall make any payment to a creditor of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in respect of any liability of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, and no lender account of any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary shall be commingled with any lender account of the Company or any other Credit Party.

Finally, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action, or conduct its affairs in a manner, which is likely to result in the Business existence of the Company, any other Credit Party or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries being ignored, or in the assets and liabilities of the Company or any other Credit Party being substantively consolidated with those of any other such Person or any Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in a bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceeding.

Patriot Act of 2001, but in each case, solely as relating to the Partnership Entities and their respective Subsidiaries, (f) assisting in the preparation of definitive financing documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent, (g) reasonably cooperating in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document relating to the Debt Financing to the extent the satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, or is within the control of the Partnership Entities and their respective Subsidiaries, (h) taking all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Time, as reasonably requested by Parent to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing, and (i) permitting the prospective lenders or investors involved in the Debt Financing to conduct customary due diligence. The Partnership hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Partnership Entities or any of their respective Subsidiaries.
Acquisition of the Company Upon the closing of any Acquisition the successor entity shall assume the obligations of this Warrant, and this Warrant shall be exercisable for the same securities, cash, and property as would be payable for the Shares issuable upon exercise of the unexercised portion of this Warrant as if such Shares were outstanding on the record date for
Creation/Acquisition of Subsidiaries In the event Borrower, or any of its Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Subsidiary, Borrower shall provide prior written notice to Collateral Agent and each Lender of the creation or acquisition of such new Subsidiary and take all such action as may be reasonably required by Collateral Agent or any Lender to cause each such Subsidiary to become a co-Borrower hereunder or to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and, in each case, grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the assets of such Subsidiary (substantially as described on Exhibit A hereto); and Borrower (or its Subsidiary, as applicable) shall grant and pledge to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, a perfected security interest in the Shares; provided, however, that solely in the circumstance in which Borrower or any Subsidiary creates or acquires a Foreign Subsidiary in an acquisition permitted by Section 7.7 hereof or otherwise approved by the Required Lenders, (i) such Foreign Subsidiary shall not be required to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents and grant a continuing pledge and security interest in and to the assets of such Foreign Subsidiary, and (ii) Borrower shall not be required to grant and pledge to Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lenders, a perfected security interest in more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the Shares of such Foreign Subsidiary, if Borrower demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of Collateral Agent that such Foreign Subsidiary providing such guarantee or pledge and security interest or Borrower providing a perfected security interest in more than sixty-five percent (65%) of the Shares would create a present and existing adverse tax consequence to Borrower under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
Special Purpose Entity/Separateness (a) Until the Debt has been paid in full, Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that the Borrower is, shall be and shall continue to be a Special Purpose Entity.
