Governmental Antitrust Authorities. Without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to Section 5.10(a) hereof the parties hereto shall: (i) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable to Governmental Entities with jurisdiction over the Antitrust Laws (each such Governmental Entity, a “Governmental Antitrust Authority”) information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Authority as necessary, proper, or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing any required notification and report form and related material required under the HSR Act and any additional consents and required filings under any other Antitrust Laws as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement and thereafter to respond as promptly as practicable and advisable to any request for additional information or documentary material that may be made under the HSR Act or any other applicable Antitrust Laws; and (ii) subject to the terms set forth in Section 5.10(c) hereof, use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions as are necessary or advisable to obtain prompt approval of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by any Governmental Entity or expiration of applicable waiting periods. The Parties will take, and will cause their respective Affiliates to take, any and all steps or actions necessary to obtain any necessary approval or obtain the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Law, to prevent the initiation of any lawsuit by any Governmental Entity under the HSR Act or any other applicable Law, and to prevent the entry of any Order that would otherwise make the transaction unlawful, in each case, so as to enable the Parties to expeditiously close the transaction, including the taking of steps or actions (i) to sell, license, otherwise dispose of or hold separate, or agree to sell, license, otherwise dispose of or hold separate, any entities, assets, technology, intellectual property rights or facilities of Parent or its Affiliates or the Company, (ii) to terminate, amend or assign existing relationships or contractual rights and obligations, (iii) to amend, assign or terminate existing licenses or other agreements or enter into new licenses or other agreements, (iv) to change or modify any course of conduct or otherwise make any commitment (to any Governmental Entity or otherwise) regarding future operations of Parent or its Affiliates or the Company, or (v) otherwise to take or commit to take any actions that would limit Parent’s or any of its Affiliates’ freedom of action with respect to, or ability to retain, one or more of Parent’s or its Affiliates’ businesses, product lines, licenses, operations, rights, assets or rights or interests therein, or the businesses, product lines, licenses, operations, rights, assets or rights or interests of the Company. Within 45 days of the date of this Agreement the parties shall, for purposes of this Section 5.10 only, establish and agree to the earliest possible estimated closing date (the “Estimated Closing Date”). Within 60 days of, but no later than 50 days prior to, that Estimated Closing Date, Parent or its Affiliates shall determine, in consultation with the Company, whether the filing of notification and report forms under the HSR Act will be required prior to consummation of the Mergers. Should such filings be required, the filings will be made no later than 45 days prior to the Estimated Closing Date. Should Parent or its Affiliates determine, in consultation with the Company, based on information available within 60 days of but no later than 50 days prior to that Estimated Closing Date, that filings of notification and report forms under the HSR Act will not be required prior to consummation of the Mergers, then Parent or its Affiliates, in consultation with the Company, shall refresh that assessment as necessary, due to the Closing Date possibly occurring later than the Estimated Closing, every 10 calendar days following the initial assessment, and the parties will file no later than five (5) Business Days following a determination that such filings are required.
