Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03(b), each share of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Per Share Common Stock Consideration and the applicable Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration, as the case may be, which the Company Stockholders holding shares of Company Common Stock and Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to this Section 3.03(b). The delivery of the applicable Per Share Preferred Stock Consideration shall be made as if the Merger were a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the Company Certificate of Incorporation) and pursuant to an allocation schedule prepared by the Company, which allocation schedule shall be delivered to the Acquiror not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing.

3.04 Lost Certificate.

(b) Effective as of the Effective Time, each share of Company Restricted Stock, to the extent then unvested and outstanding, shall automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the number of shares of restricted Acquiror Common Stock, subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Restricted Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time, including applicable vesting conditions (after such conversion, “Rollover Restricted Stock”) determined by multiplying (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Per Share Common Stock Consideration.

Except as provided herein, the Rollover Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the Company Restricted Stock Units immediately prior to the Effective Time, including applicable vesting conditions.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversions described in this Section 3.05 will be subject to such modifications, if any, as are required to cause the conversion to be made in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and, in the case of any Company Stock Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock purchasable pursuant to such option shall be determined subject to such adjustments as are necessary in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

3.06 Withholding.

At the Effective Time, (i) all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled, extinguished and cease to exist and (ii) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to only such rights as may be granted to him, her or it under the DGCL.

The Company also agrees that immediately following the execution of this Agreement it shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their Representatives to, cease any solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective Representatives) conducted heretofore in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or request for information that could reasonably be expected to lead to, or result in, an Acquisition Proposal. The Company also agrees that within three (3) Business Days of the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall request each Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective Representatives) that has prior to the date hereof executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company (and with whom the Company has had contact in twelve (12) months prior to the date of this Agreement regarding the acquisition of the Company) to return or destroy all confidential information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of it or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof and terminate access to any physical or electronic data room maintained by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) notify, in writing, Acquiror of the receipt of any inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information received after the date hereof that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, which notice shall include a summary of the material terms of, and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making, such inquiry, proposal, offer or request for information and an unredacted copy of any Acquisition Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer made in writing or, if not in writing, a written description of the material terms and conditions of such inquiry, proposal or offer (and shall include any other documents evidencing or specifying the terms of such proposal, offer, inquiry or request).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company may grant a waiver, amendment or release under any confidentiality or standstill agreement to the extent necessary to allow for a confidential bona fide written Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal was made after the date of this Agreement and did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.08) to be made to the Company or the Company Board so long as the Company promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day thereafter) notifies Acquiror thereof (including the identity of such counterparty) after granting any such waiver, amendment or release and the Company Board determines prior to the grant of such waiver, amendment or release in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel to the Company, that the failure of the Company Board to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 6.08 by any of the Company’s Subsidiaries, or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives acting on the Company’s or one of its Subsidiaries’ behalf, shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 6.08 by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.08(a) or Section 8.02(e), this Agreement shall not prevent the Company or the Company Board from:

(i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to stockholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer) or from making any legally required disclosure to stockholders with regard to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal; provided, that this clause (i) shall not be deemed to permit the Company or the Company Board to effect a Company Change in Recommendation except in accordance with Sections 6.08(c) and 6.08(d);

(ii) prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval, contacting and engaging in discussions with any Person or group and their respective Representatives who has made a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.08(a), solely for the purpose of clarifying such Acquisition Proposal and the terms thereof;

(iii) prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval, (A) contacting and engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any Person and its Representatives who has made a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.08(a) (which negotiations or discussions need not be solely for clarification purposes) and (B) providing access to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ properties, books and records and providing information or data in response to a request therefor by a Person who has made a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.08(a), in each case, if the Company Board (I) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor(s), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute, result in or lead to a Superior Proposal, (II) shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (III) has received from the Person so requesting such information an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that the Company shall provide to Acquiror and Merger Sub any material non-public information or data that is provided to any Person given such access that was not previously made available to Acquiror or Merger Sub prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours thereof);

(v) resolving, authorizing, committing or agreeing to take any of the foregoing actions, only to the extent such actions would be permitted by the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv).

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.08 to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.08, that (i) such proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (ii) the failure to take the actions specified in clause (A) or (B) of this Section 6.08(c) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company or the Company Board may, prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval, (A) make a Company Change in Recommendation or (B) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01(e) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, that the Company pays to Acquiror the Company Termination Payment required to be paid pursuant to Section 10.02(b) at or prior to the time of such termination (it being agreed that such termination shall not be effective unless such fee is so paid); provided, further, that the Company will not be entitled to make a Company Change in Recommendation or terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01(e) unless (x) the Company delivers to Acquiror a written notice (a “Company Notice”) advising Acquiror that the Company Board proposes to take such action and containing the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action of the Company Board, and (y) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the day on which the Company delivered the Company Notice (such period from the time the Company Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the day on which the Company delivered the Company Notice (it being understood that any material revision, amendment, update or supplement to the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal shall be deemed to constitute a new Superior Proposal and shall require a new notice but with an additional four (4) Business Day (instead of five (5) Business Day) period from the date of such notice), the “Notice Period”), the Company Board reaffirms in good faith (1) after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor(s) that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal if the adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Acquiror (if any) were to be given effect and (2) after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation or so terminate would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by Acquiror, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their Representatives to, during the Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with Acquiror and its Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.08 or Section 8.02(e) to the contrary, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval, the Company Board determines in good faith, in response to an Intervening Event, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company or the Company Board may, prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval, make a Company Change in Recommendation; provided, that the Company will not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, a Company Change in Recommendation unless (i) the Company delivers to Acquiror a written notice (an “Intervening Event Notice”) advising Acquiror that the Company Board proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Company Board’s determination that an Intervening Event has occurred, and (ii) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the day on which the Company delivered the Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the day on which the Company delivered the Intervening Event Notice (it being understood that any material development with respect to an Intervening Event shall require a new notice but with an additional four (4) Business Day (instead of five (5) Business Day) period from the date of such notice), the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), the Company Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make a Company Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by Acquiror, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its or their Representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with Acquiror and its Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for a Company Change in Recommendation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Acquiror, Merger Sub, the Company or its Subsidiaries be obligated to bear any expense or pay any fee or grant any concession in connection with obtaining any consents, authorizations or approvals pursuant to the terms of any Contract to which the Company or its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.

8.02 Preparation of Registration Statement; Special Meeting; Solicitation of Company Requisite Approval.

(a) As promptly as practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Acquiror shall prepare, with the assistance of the Company, and cause to be filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Acquiror Common Stock to be issued under this Agreement, which Registration Statement will also contain the Proxy Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger. Each of Acquiror and the Company shall furnish all information concerning it as may reasonably be requested by the other party in connection with such actions and the preparation of the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement and the Consent Solicitation Statement. Promptly after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, Acquiror will cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to stockholders of Acquiror.

(b) Each of Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any response to comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement and any amendment to the Registration Statement filed in response thereto. If Acquiror or the Company becomes aware that any information contained in the Registration Statement shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or that the Registration Statement is required to be amended in order to comply with applicable Law, then (i) such party shall promptly inform the other parties and (ii) Acquiror, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall cooperate and mutually agree upon (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement. Acquiror and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of shares of Acquiror Common Stock, as applicable, in each case pursuant to applicable Law and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Acquiror Organizational Documents. Each of the Company and Acquiror shall provide the other parties with copies of any written comments, and shall inform such other parties of any oral comments, that Acquiror receives from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the other parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments prior to responding to the SEC or its staff.

(c) Acquiror agrees to include provisions in the Proxy Statement and to take reasonable action related thereto, with respect to (i) approval of the Business Combination (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) and the adoption and approval of this Agreement (the “Transaction Proposal”), (ii) approval of the Acquiror Charter Amendment and the Acquiror A&R Charter (the “Amendment Proposal”) and each change to the Acquiror A&R Charter that is required to be separately approved, (iii) to the extent required by the NYSE listing rules, approval of the issuance of the Aggregate Preferred Stock Consideration and the Aggregate Common Stock Consideration together with the Acquiror Common Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreements (the “NYSE Proposal”), (iv) the approval and adoption of the Acquiror Equity Plan (the “Acquiror Equity Plan Proposal”), (v) adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary, to permit further solicitation of proxies because there are not sufficient votes to approve and adopt any of the foregoing proposals and (vi) approval of any other proposals reasonably agreed by Acquiror and the Company to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby (the “Additional Proposal” and together with the Transaction Proposal, the Amendment Proposal, the NYSE Proposal and the Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal, the “Proposals”). The Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan Proposal shall provide that an aggregate number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock equal to the percentage set forth on Schedule 8.02(c) of the outstanding shares of Acquiror Common Stock as of Closing shall be reserved for issuance pursuant to the Acquiror Omnibus Incentive Plan, subject to annual increases as provided therein. Without the prior written consent of the Company, the Proposals shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which Acquiror shall propose to be acted on by Acquiror’s stockholders at the Special Meeting.

(d) Acquiror shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, (i) establish the record date (which record date shall be mutually agreed with the Company) for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Special Meeting in accordance with the DGCL, (ii) after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, cause the Proxy Statement to be disseminated to Acquiror’s stockholders in compliance with applicable Law and (iii) after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, solicit proxies from the holders of Acquiror Common Stock to vote in accordance with the recommendation of the Acquiror Board with respect to each of the Proposals. Acquiror shall, through the Acquiror Board, recommend to its stockholders that they approve the Proposals (the “Acquiror Board Recommendation”) and shall include the Acquiror Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, unless the Acquiror Board shall have changed the recommendation in accordance with this Section 8.02(d). The Acquiror Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Acquiror Board Recommendation (an “Acquiror Change in Recommendation”); provided, that if, at any time prior to obtaining the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, the Acquiror Board determines in good faith, in response to an Acquiror Intervening Event, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to make an Acquiror Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Acquiror or the Acquiror Board may, prior to obtaining the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, make an Acquiror Change in Recommendation; provided further, that Acquiror will not be entitled to make, or agree or resolve to make, an Acquiror Change in Recommendation unless (A) Acquiror delivers to the Company a written notice (an “Acquiror Intervening Event Notice”) advising the Company that the Acquiror Board proposes to take such action and containing the material facts underlying the Acquiror Board’s determination that an Acquiror Intervening Event has occurred (it being acknowledged that such Acquiror Intervening Event Notice shall not itself constitute a breach of this Agreement), and (B) at or after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the day on which Acquiror delivered the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice (such period from the time the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice is provided until 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the day on which Acquiror delivered the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice (it being understood that any material development with respect to an Acquiror Intervening Event shall require a new notice but with an additional four (4) Business Day (instead of five (5) Business Day) period from the date of such notice), the “Acquiror Intervening Event Notice Period”), the Acquiror Board reaffirms in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make an Acquiror Change in Recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. If requested by the Company, Acquiror will and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, during the Acquiror Intervening Event Notice Period, engage in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so as to obviate the need for an Acquiror Change in Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.02(d), if on a date for which the Special Meeting is scheduled, Acquiror has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares of Acquiror Common Stock to obtain the Acquiror Stockholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Acquiror shall have the right to make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Special Meeting; provided, that the Special Meeting, without the prior written consent of the Company, (x) may not be adjourned to a date that is more than twenty (20) Business Days after the date for which the Special Meeting was originally scheduled or the most recently adjourned Special Meeting (excluding any adjournments required by applicable Law) and (y) is held no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Termination Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Acquiror Intervening Event” means any material event, fact, development, circumstance or occurrence that (i) was not known and was not reasonably foreseeable to the Acquiror Board as of the date hereof and that becomes known to the Acquiror Board after the date of this Agreement and (ii) does not relate to clearance of the Merger by any Regulatory Consent Agency or any other applicable Laws, including any action in connection therewith taken pursuant to or required to be taken pursuant to Section 7.01; provided, however, that (1) any change in the price or trading volume of Acquiror Common Stock, (2) the Company meeting, failing to meet or exceeding financial or other projections or predictions and (3) any delays in production of the Company’s products shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether an Acquiror Intervening Event has occurred.

(e) The Company shall solicit the Company Requisite Approval via written consent as soon as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement becomes effective. In connection therewith, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, (i) establish the record date (which record date shall be mutually agreed with Acquiror) for determining the Company Stockholders entitled to provide such written consent, (ii) cause the Consent Solicitation Statement to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders in compliance with applicable Law and (iii) unless a Company Change in Recommendation has been made, solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Company Requisite Approval. The Company shall, through the Company Board, recommend to the Company Stockholders that they adopt this Agreement (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Consent Solicitation Statement, subject to the provisions of this Section 8.02(e). The Company Board shall not (and no committee or subgroup thereof shall) (i) change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, the Company Board Recommendation or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in clause (i) or (ii), a “Company Change in Recommendation”) except in accordance with Sections 6.08(c) and 6.08(d). The Company will provide Acquiror with copies of all stockholder consents it receives within one (1) Business Day of receipt. If the Company Requisite Approval is obtained, then promptly following the receipt of the required written consents, the Company will prepare and deliver to its stockholders who have not consented the notice required by Section 228(e) of the DGCL. Unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Company’s obligation to solicit written consents from the Company Stockholders to give the Company Requisite Approval in accordance with this Section 8.02(e) shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the making, commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, or by any Company Change in Recommendation.

8.03 Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall pay all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added or other similar Taxes incurred in connection with the Transactions (“Transfer Taxes”). The Company shall file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable Law, Acquiror will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns. The Company and Acquiror agree to reasonably cooperate to reduce or eliminate the amount of any such Transfer Taxes.

(b) Tax Treatment. Acquiror, Merger Sub and the Company intend that the Transactions shall qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. None of the parties or their respective Affiliates shall take or cause to be taken, or knowingly fail to take or knowingly cause to be failed to be taken, any action that would reasonably be expected to prevent the Transactions from qualifying for such Intended Tax Treatment or the Company from obtaining the Closing Tax Opinion. Each party shall, unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. final determination) or a change in applicable Law, or based on a change in the facts and circumstances underlying the Transactions from the terms described in this Agreement, cause all Tax Returns to be filed on a basis consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. Each of the parties agrees to use reasonable best efforts to promptly notify all other parties of any challenge to the Intended Tax Treatment by any Governmental Authority.

(c) Each of Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain the Closing Tax Opinion and any Tax opinions required to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Registration Statement, including by (i) delivering to the applicable legal counsel the Acquiror Registration Statement Tax Certificate and the Company Registration Statement Tax Certificate and (ii) delivering to the applicable legal counsel the Acquiror Closing Tax Certificate and the Company Closing Tax Certificate.

(g) by written notice from Acquiror to the Company if the Company Requisite Approval has not been obtained within three (3) Business Days following the date that the Consent Solicitation Statement is disseminated by the Company to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 8.02(e).

10.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 10.02, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or stockholders, other than liability of any party hereto for any Willful Breach of this Agreement by such party occurring prior to such termination subject to Section 6.06. The provisions of Sections 6.06, 8.04, 10.02 and Article XI (collectively, the “Surviving Provisions”) and the Confidentiality Agreement, and any other Section or Article of this Agreement referenced in the Surviving Provisions, which are required to survive in order to give appropriate effect to the Surviving Provisions, shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated by (i) the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(e) or (ii) by Acquiror pursuant to Section 10.01(f), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Payment to Acquiror (or one or more of its designees), at or prior to the time of termination in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 10.01(e) or as promptly as reasonably practicable in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 10.01(f) (and, in any event, within two Business Days following such termination), payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated by either Acquiror or the Company pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(ii) or Section 10.01(c)(ii) or by Acquiror pursuant to Section 10.01(b)(i) or Section 10.01(g), and (i) before the date of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is publicly announced, disclosed or made and is not publicly withdrawn as of the date of such termination and (ii) within twelve (12) months after the date of termination, the Company shall have consummated an Acquisition Proposal or entered into a definitive agreement for an Acquisition Proposal (which Acquisition Proposal is ultimately consummated), then the Company shall pay the Company Termination Payment to Acquiror (or one or more of its designees), as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) after the date on which the Acquisition Proposal is consummated, payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that the Company Termination Payment, if, as and when required pursuant to this Section 10.02, shall not constitute a penalty but will be liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Acquiror in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Payment on more than one (1) occasion. Each of the Company, Acquiror and Merger Sub acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 10.02 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the parties hereto would not enter into this Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in any circumstance in which this Agreement is terminated and Acquiror is paid the Company Termination Payment pursuant to this Section 10.02, the Company Termination Payment shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy (except in the case of Willful Breach) of Acquiror, Merger Sub or any of the Acquiror Related Parties against the Company or any other Company Related Party for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for a breach (excluding any Willful Breach) of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith or otherwise or in respect of any oral representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or in respect of representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise.

The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.08 Schedules and Exhibits. The Schedules and Exhibits referenced herein are a part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. All references herein to Schedules and Exhibits shall be deemed references to such parts of this Agreement, unless the context shall otherwise require. Any disclosure made by a party in the Schedules with reference to any section or schedule of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a disclosure with respect to all other sections or schedules to which such disclosure may apply solely to the extent the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure in such Schedule. Certain information set forth in the Schedules is included solely for informational purposes.

11.09 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties relating to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

11.11 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

11.12 Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court declines to exercise jurisdiction, any federal or state court located in New York County, New York, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law, or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 11.12.

11.13 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 11.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.
