In furtherance thereof:

(a) Consents. Prior to the Closing Date, Cratos shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure required written consents or waivers under or with respect to the Cratos Contracts and Permits indicated on Schedule 6.2.

***Text Omitted and Filed Separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission under CFR §§ 230.246-2 and 200.80(b)(4).

(b) Disclosure Obligation. From time to time, on and prior to the Closing Date, Sellers, Cratos and Buyer shall promptly notify each other upon becoming aware of any fact, occurrence or event that would cause any of the representations and warranties contained in Article III, Article IV or Article V, as applicable, to be inaccurate or incomplete in any respect.

Section 6.3 No Solicitation. Following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, neither Sellers nor their members, shareholders, Affiliates, officers, employees, agents and representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit from any Person, initiate with any Person, continue discussions with any Person regarding or otherwise encourage any Person to make any inquiries or proposals, or furnish information relating to the acquisition, in whole or in part, of the Business or any merger, consolidation, business combination, sale of a substantial portion of the assets, recapitalization, any investment whatsoever in Cratos or any of the Subsidiaries, other similar transactions involving the Business or any other transaction that would impair the ability of Cratos to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby (any such transaction, an “Alternative Transaction”) or engage in any negotiations or enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person (other than Buyer) regarding an Alternative Transaction. During the period described in the preceding sentence, Sellers and their shareholders, Affiliates, officers, employees, agents and representatives will not furnish any information concerning the Business to any Person other than Buyer for the purpose of, or with the intent of, permitting such Person to evaluate an Alternative Transaction and Sellers will notify Buyer in writing of any proposals or inquiries received by Sellers, Cratos or their respective agents, as applicable, concerning any Alternative Transaction.

Section 6.4 Access to Properties and Records.
