Article IV

DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION; PROCEDURES FOR SURRENDER

Section 4.1            Distribution Agent. Pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the Exchange Agent (as defined below, and acting as “Distribution Agent” thereunder) shall hold, for the account of Remainco and the relevant Remainco stockholders, book-entry shares representing all of the outstanding shares of Spinco Common Stock distributed in the Spinco Distribution. Such shares of Spinco Common Stock shall be converted into shares of RMT Partner Common Stock in accordance with the terms of ARTICLE III and this ARTICLE IV.

Section 4.2            Exchange Agent. At or prior to the First Effective Time, RMT Partner shall deposit or cause to be deposited with an exchange agent selected by Remainco with RMT Partner’s prior approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to serve as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) pursuant to a customary exchange agent agreement (to which Remainco, Spinco and RMT Partner shall be parties) on terms reasonably satisfactory to Remainco, Spinco and RMT Partner, for the benefit of the Persons who received shares of Spinco Common Stock in the Spinco Distribution and for distribution in accordance with Section 3.1, subject to Section 4.6, an aggregate number of shares of RMT Partner Common Stock to be issued in non-certificated book-entry form comprising the number of shares of RMT Partner Common Stock equal to (a) the total number of shares of Spinco Common Stock entitled to Merger Consideration under Section 3.1(a), multiplied by (b) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number. Such shares of RMT Partner Common Stock and the amount of any dividends or other distributions deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 4.2 and Section 4.4, being the “Exchange Fund.” The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than a purpose expressly provided for in this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund may be deposited by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by RMT Partner; provided, however, that any deposit of such cash shall in all events be limited to (i) direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the United States government, in commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (ii) certificates of deposit or bank repurchase agreements of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion, or (iii) AAA rated 2A-7 fixed NAV money market funds (or those of similar quality), or a combination of the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such deposits, a default of an applicable bank or for any other reason any amount in the Exchange Fund is below that required to make prompt payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration and the other payments contemplated by this ARTICLE IV, RMT Partner shall promptly replace, restore or supplement the shares of RMT Partner Common Stock or cash, as applicable, in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Exchange Agent to make the payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration and the other payments contemplated by this ARTICLE IV. Any interest and other income resulting from such deposit may become part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 3.1 or Section 4.4 may, at the discretion of RMT Partner, be promptly returned to RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity. In the event the Merger is not consummated and this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Exchange Agent shall promptly return all shares of RMT Partner Common Stock deposited in the Exchange Fund to RMT Partner.

Section 4.3            Procedures for Exchange.

(a)            On the Closing Date, promptly after the First Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall, and Remainco and RMT Partner shall cooperate to cause the Exchange Agent to, deliver to each record holder of shares of Spinco Common Stock following the Spinco Distribution and immediately prior to the First Effective Time, a book-entry authorization representing the number of whole shares of RMT Partner Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.1 (and cash in lieu of fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock as contemplated by Section 4.6, together with any dividends and other distributions pursuant to Section 4.4).

(b)            No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable for shares of Spinco Common Stock or on any other amount to a holder of shares of Spinco Common Stock following the Spinco Distribution and immediately prior to the First Effective Time has a right to receive pursuant to ARTICLE III and this ARTICLE IV.

(c)            The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to RMT Partner Common Stock held by it for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.

Section 4.4            Distributions with Respect to Undistributed Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to RMT Partner Common Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time shall be paid or otherwise delivered to the former holders of Spinco Common Stock with respect to any shares of RMT Partner Common Stock that are not able to be distributed by the Exchange Agent to such holder promptly after the First Effective Time, whether due to a legal impediment to such distribution or otherwise. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following the distribution of any such previously undistributed shares of RMT Partner Common Stock, there shall be paid to the record holder of such shares of RMT Partner Common Stock without interest, (a) at the time of the distribution, to the extent not previously paid, the amount of cash payable in lieu of fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 4.6 and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of RMT Partner Common Stock, and (b) at the appropriate payment date therefor, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time but prior to the distribution of such shares of RMT Partner Common Stock and a payment date subsequent to the distribution of such shares of RMT Partner Common Stock payable with respect to such whole shares of RMT Partner Common Stock. RMT Partner shall deposit with the Exchange Agent all such dividends and distributions.

-10-

Section 4.5            Transfers. From and after the First Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of Spinco of the shares of Spinco Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. From and after the First Effective Time, the holders of shares of Spinco Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such shares of Spinco Common Stock except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Law.

Section 4.6            Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock will be issued upon the conversion of shares of Spinco Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.1. All fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock that a holder of shares of Spinco Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated by the Exchange Agent. The Exchange Agent shall cause the whole shares obtained thereby to be sold on behalf of such holders of shares of Spinco Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive such fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock pursuant to the Merger, in the open market or otherwise as reasonably directed by RMT Partner, in each case at then-prevailing market prices, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in no case later than ten (10) Business Days after the First Effective Time. The Exchange Agent shall make available the net proceeds thereof, after deducting any required withholding Taxes and brokerage charges, commissions and transfer Taxes, on a pro rata basis, without interest, as soon as practicable to the holders of Spinco Common Stock that would otherwise be entitled to receive such fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock pursuant to the Merger. The Parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to RMT Partner that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock.

Section 4.7            Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any deposit of the Exchange Fund and any shares of RMT Partner Common Stock) that remains unclaimed by the one hundred eightieth (180^th) day after the Closing Date shall be delivered to RMT Partner. Any holder of shares of Spinco Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE IV shall thereafter look only to RMT Partner for delivery of the Merger Consideration, including any cash in lieu of fractional shares of RMT Partner Common Stock, and any unpaid non-stock dividends and any other dividends or other distributions, in each case, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to ARTICLE III and this ARTICLE IV.

-11-

Section 4.8            Withholding Rights. Each of RMT Partner, the Surviving Entity and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Spinco Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by RMT Partner, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, such withheld amounts (a) shall be timely remitted by RMT Partner, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, to the applicable Taxing authority, and (b) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of shares of Spinco Common Stock in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by RMT Partner, the Surviving Entity or the Exchange Agent, as applicable.

Section 4.9            No Appraisal Rights. In accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, no appraisal rights shall be available to holders of Spinco Common Stock in connection with the Merger.

Except as set forth in the Spinco Financial Statements, the Spinco Entities and the Spinco Business do not maintain any “off-balance-sheet arrangement” within the meaning of Item 303 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act. The systems of internal controls over financial reporting maintained by the Spinco Business and the Spinco Entities are sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied and that all transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization.

(c)            Except for (i) liabilities disclosed, reflected, reserved against or otherwise provided for in the Spinco Financial Statements (other than the Latest Spinco P&L), (ii) liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Spinco’s Business since September 30, 2023, or arising under this Agreement (none of which relates to breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement or violations of Law), (iii) liabilities that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Spinco Business, taken as a whole, or (iv) as set forth on Section 6.5(c) of the Spinco Disclosure Letter, the Spinco Entities do not have any liabilities of any nature, whether or not accrued, contingent or otherwise.

(d)            When delivered pursuant to Section 8.22, the Audited Financial Statements, the Subsequent Unaudited Spinco Financial Statements and the Subsequent Audited Spinco Financial Statements will (i) except as otherwise noted and reflected therein, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, as at the dates and for the periods presented (subject, with respect to the Subsequent Unaudited Spinco Financial Statements, to normal year-end adjustments, as at the dates and for the periods presented), and (ii) fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Spinco Business and the results of its operations as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods covered thereby on the basis by which the Audited Financial Statements, the Subsequent Unaudited Spinco Financial Statements and the Subsequent Audited Spinco Financial Statements, in each case, were prepared, except for the fact that the Spinco Business was not operated on a stand-alone basis during such periods and, therefore, the Audited Financial Statements, the Subsequent Unaudited Spinco Financial Statements and the Subsequent Audited Spinco Financial Statements will reflect certain costs allocations made that may not reflect what would have been incurred if the Spinco Business had been operated on a stand-alone basis during such periods. The Audited Financial Statements shall conform in all material respects to the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to financial statements for each of the periods that will be required to be included in the RMT Partner Registration Statement, the Distribution Registration Statement and the Tender Offer Statement (if applicable).

(f)             None of the Spinco Entities has incurred any non-reported Indebtedness, or issued or sold any debt securities or rights to acquire any debt security of any Spinco Entity, the terms of which, or the terms of any instrument under which such Indebtedness, debt securities or rights were issued, requires the public listing of such Indebtedness, debt securities or rights or the maintenance by such Spinco Entity of registration under the Exchange Act. No Spinco Entity is a party to, or has any commitment to become a party to, any off-balance sheet joint venture, off-balance sheet partnership or any other “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as defined in Item 303(b) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC) that is material to the Spinco Entities, taken as a whole.

(g)            The information supplied or to be supplied by Remainco or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Spinco Entities) for inclusion in the Securities Filings will not, on the date of filing of the applicable Securities Filing or, in the case of the Distribution Registration Statement or the RMT Partner Registration Statement, at the time it becomes effective under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, as applicable, or on the dates the Proxy Statement is mailed to the shareholders of RMT Partner, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Section 6.6            Absence of Certain Changes.

Section 8.2            Spinco Acquisition Proposals.

(a)            No Solicitation. Except as expressly permitted by this Section 8.2, from and after the date hereof, Remainco shall not, and none of its Subsidiaries nor any of the directors, officers or employees of it or its Subsidiaries shall, and shall instruct and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

(b)            Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.2 to the contrary, if the Threshold Event occurs, then during the period beginning on the date the Threshold Event occurs and ending on the date the RMT Partner Shareholder Approval is obtained, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Spinco Acquisition Proposal that did not arise from or in connection with a breach of the obligations set forth in this Section 8.2, Remainco may:

(i)            provide information in response to a request therefor (including non-public information regarding Remainco and its Subsidiaries (including the Spinco Entities)) to the Person who made such Spinco Acquisition Proposal, provided that such information has previously been made available to, or is made available to, RMT Partner prior to or concurrently with the time such information is made available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such information, Remainco receives from the Person making such Spinco Acquisition Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement with terms that are not materially less restrictive to the other party than the terms in the Confidentiality Agreement are on RMT Partner (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not prohibit the making or amending of a Spinco Acquisition Proposal to the extent such Spinco Acquisition Proposal is made directly to Remainco), provided, however, that if the Person making such Spinco Acquisition Proposal is a competitor of the Spinco Business, Remainco shall not provide any commercially sensitive non-public information to such Person in connection with any actions permitted by this Section 8.2(b) other than in accordance with customary “clean room” or other similar procedures designed to limit the disclosure of competitively sensitive information; and

-62-

(ii)           participate in any discussions or negotiations with any such Person regarding such Spinco Acquisition Proposal;

in each case, if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Remainco Board determines in good faith after consultation with Xxxxxxxx’s financial advisor that based on the information then available such Spinco Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Spinco Superior Proposal or would reasonably be expected to result in a Spinco Superior Proposal.

(c)            Notice of Spinco Acquisition Proposals. Remainco shall promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) give notice to RMT Partner if (i) any proposals or offers with respect to a Spinco Acquisition Proposal are received by, (ii) any information is requested in connection with any Spinco Acquisition Proposal from, or (iii) any discussions or negotiations with respect to a Spinco Acquisition Proposal are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives, setting forth in such notice the name of such Person and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers (including, if applicable, complete copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and thereafter shall keep RMT Partner informed, on a reasonably current basis (and, in any event, within 48 hours), of the status and terms of any such proposals or offers (including any material amendments thereto).

(d)            No Spinco Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(i)            Except as permitted by Section 8.2(d)(ii), Remainco agrees it shall not enter into, or publicly propose to enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 8.2(b)(i) entered into in compliance with Section 8.2(b)(i)) relating to any Spinco Acquisition Proposal (a “Spinco Alternative Acquisition Agreement”).

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Threshold Event occurs, then during the period beginning on the date the Threshold Event occurs and ending on the date on which the RMT Partner Shareholder Approval is obtained, Remainco may enter into a Spinco Alternative Acquisition Agreement if an unsolicited, bona fide written Spinco Acquisition Proposal that did not arise from or in connection with a breach of the obligations set forth in Section 8.2(a) is received by Remainco and Xxxxxxxx’s board of directors determines in good faith, after consultation with Remainco’s financial advisor, that such Spinco Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Spinco Superior Proposal; provided, however, Remainco may not enter into a Spinco Alternative Acquisition Agreement or action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3(a) unless and until Remainco has given RMT Partner written notice of such action and the basis thereof five (5) Business Days in advance, which notice shall set forth in writing that Remainco intends to consider whether to take such action, and comply in form, substance and delivery with the provisions of Section 8.2(c). After giving such notice and prior to taking such action to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3(a), Remainco shall, and shall cause its employees, financial advisor and outside legal counsel to, negotiate in good faith with RMT Partner (to the extent RMT Partner wishes to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would not permit Remainco to take such action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3(a) in response thereto. At the end of the five (5)-Business Day period, prior to taking action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.3(a), the Remainco Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by RMT Partner in writing and any other information offered by RMT Partner in response to the notice, and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with its financial advisor that the Spinco Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Spinco Superior Proposal. Any material amendment to any Spinco Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new Spinco Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 8.2(c) and this Section 8.2(d)(ii), except that the advance written notice obligation set forth in this Section 8.2(d)(ii) shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.

-63-

Remainco shall promptly deliver a written notice to each such Person providing only that Remainco is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any Spinco Acquisition Proposal or proposal or transaction that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Spinco Acquisition Proposal, and informing such Persons of the obligations undertaken in this Section 8.2 and in the Confidentiality Agreement, which notice shall, to the extent such Person has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of a Spinco Acquisition Proposal, also request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information concerning the Spinco Business and any Spinco Entities heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of Remainco or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. Remainco will promptly terminate all physical and electronic data access previously granted to such Persons.

(D)            approve or recommend, or publicly declare advisable or publicly propose to enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 8.3(b)(i) entered into in compliance with Section 8.3(b)(i)) relating to any RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal (an “RMT Partner Alternative Acquisition Agreement,” and any of the actions set forth in the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), a “RMT Partner Change of Recommendation”).

(ii)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time the RMT Partner Shareholder Approval is obtained, the RMT Partner Board may effect a RMT Partner Change of Recommendation if (A)(1) an unsolicited, bona fide written RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal that did not arise from or in connection with a breach of the obligations set forth in Section 8.3(a) is received by RMT Partner and the RMT Partner Board determines in good faith, after consultation with RMT Partner’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that such RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal constitutes a RMT Partner Superior Proposal, or (2) an Intervening Event has occurred, and (B) the RMT Partner Board determines in good faith, after consultation with RMT Partner’s outside legal counsel, that failure to effect a RMT Partner Change of Recommendation in response to such RMT Partner Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, as applicable, would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that a RMT Partner Change of Recommendation or action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(a) may not be made unless and until RMT Partner has given Remainco written notice of such action and the basis thereof four (4) Business Days in advance, which notice shall set forth in writing that the RMT Partner Board intends to consider whether to take such action and (x) in the case of a RMT Partner Superior Proposal, comply in form, substance and delivery with the provisions of Section 8.3(c), and (y) in the case of an Intervening Event, include a reasonable description of such Intervening Event. After giving such notice and prior to effecting such RMT Partner Change of Recommendation or taking such action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(a), RMT Partner shall, and shall cause its employees, financial advisor and outside legal counsel to, negotiate in good faith with Remainco (to the extent Remainco wishes to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would permit the RMT Partner Board not to effect a RMT Partner Change of Recommendation or to take such action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(a) in response thereto. At the end of the four (4)-Business Day period, prior to taking action to effect a RMT Partner Change of Recommendation or taking action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.4(a), the RMT Partner Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Remainco in writing and any other information offered by Xxxxxxxx in response to the notice, and shall have determined in good faith (I) after consultation with RMT Partner’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that, in the case of a RMT Partner Superior Proposal, the RMT Partner Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a RMT Partner Superior Proposal, or (II) after consultation with RMT Partner’s outside legal counsel, that, in the case of an Intervening Event, the failure to effect an RMT Partner Change of Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, in each case, if such changes offered in writing were to be given effect. Any material amendment to any RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal will be deemed to be a new RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 8.3(c) and this Section 8.3(d)(ii) except that the advance written notice obligation set forth in this Section 8.3(d)(ii) shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days.

(e)            Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing contained in this Section 8.3 shall prohibit RMT Partner from complying with its disclosure obligations under United States federal or state Law with regard to an RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that this Section 8.3(e) shall not be deemed to permit RMT Partner or the RMT Partner Board to effect a RMT Partner Change of Recommendation except in accordance with Section 8.3(d).

(f)             Existing Discussions. RMT Partner shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal. RMT Partner shall promptly deliver a written notice to each such Person providing only that RMT Partner is ending all discussions and negotiations with such Person with respect to any RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal or proposal or transaction that would reasonably be expected to lead to an RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal, and informing such Persons of the obligations undertaken in this Section 8.3 and in the Confidentiality Agreement, which notice shall, to the extent such Person has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal, also request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information concerning RMT Partner and any of its Subsidiaries heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of RMT Partner or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. RMT Partner will promptly terminate all physical and electronic data access previously granted to such Persons.

(g)            Standstill Provisions. During the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE X and the First Effective Time, RMT Partner shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar agreement, in each case relating to a RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal or a potential RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal, to which RMT Partner or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, RMT Partner shall be permitted to terminate, amend, modify, waive or fail to enforce any provision of any confidentiality, “standstill” or similar obligation of any Person if the RMT Partner Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 8.4            Securities Filings; Information Supplied.

(a)            As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (i) (A) the Parties shall jointly prepare and Spinco shall file with the SEC the Distribution Registration Statement, and (B) if the Spinco Distribution is effected in whole or in part as an exchange offer (which exchange offer shall require the consent of RMT Partner (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)), Remainco shall prepare and file with the SEC, when and as required, a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO and other filings pursuant to Rule 13e-4 of the Exchange Act, and (ii) the Parties shall jointly prepare and RMT Partner shall file with the SEC (A) a proxy statement relating to the RMT Partner Shareholder Approval and RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting (together with all supplements and amendments thereto, the “Proxy Statement”), and (B) an RMT Partner Registration Statement (in which the Proxy Statement will be included as a prospectus) (the securities filings described in clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Securities Filings”).

(b)            Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Distribution Registration Statement and the RMT Partner Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable after such filing (including by responding to comments of the SEC) and to keep the Distribution Registration Statement and the RMT Partner Registration Statement effective for as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger, the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by the other Transaction Documents. RMT Partner shall cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the holders of its voting capital stock as promptly as practicable following the date on which the SEC clears (whether orally or in writing) the Proxy Statement and, if required by the SEC as a condition to the mailing of the Proxy Statement, the RMT Partner Registration Statement is declared effective. Each of Remainco and RMT Partner shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with, in the case of RMT Partner, the RMT Partner Share Issuance and, in the case of Remainco, the issuance and distribution of the Spinco Common Stock in the Spinco Distribution and, if applicable, the exchange of Spinco Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

Each of the Parties shall provide the other Parties (and their Representatives) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Securities Filings (or any amendment or supplement thereto) prior to the filing of any such document with the SEC. Each Party will include in the Securities Filings all comments reasonably and promptly proposed by the other Party or its legal counsel and each agrees that all information relating to RMT Partner and its Subsidiaries included in the Securities Filings shall be in form and content satisfactory to RMT Partner, acting reasonably, and all information relating to Remainco and its Subsidiaries (including the Spinco Entities) included in the Securities Filings shall be in form and content satisfactory to Remainco, acting reasonably. For the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course communications filed pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act or any other disclosures or statements with respect to the Transactions contained in any filing required under securities Laws, other than the Securities Filings, shall be subject to Section 8.12.

(d)            Each Party shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, provide the other Parties copies of any written comments, and advise the other Parties of any oral comments, received from the SEC with respect to the Securities Filings and shall provide the other Parties with copies of all correspondence between it and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. Each Party shall provide the other Parties with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Securities Filings (and such comments shall be reasonably considered in good faith by the filing Party), or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing and any communications with the SEC prior to filing such with the SEC, and will promptly provide the other Parties with a copy of all such filings and communications made with the SEC. RMT Partner and Remainco, as applicable, shall advise the other promptly after receiving oral or written notice of (i) the time when the Distribution Registration Statement or RMT Partner Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment to any Securities Filing has been filed, (ii) the issuance of any stop order, and (iii) the suspension of the qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction of the RMT Partner Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger or the Spinco Common Stock issuable in connection with the Spinco Distribution.

(e)            If at any time prior to the First Effective Time, any information relating to any of the Parties, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by such Party, which information should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Securities Filings so that such Securities Filing would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties and, to the extent required by applicable Law, an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be filed promptly with the SEC and disseminated to the applicable stockholders.

(f)             In connection with the filing of the Securities Filings and any other SEC filings requiring such information, each of Remainco and RMT Partner shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cooperate with the other to prepare financial statements (including audited, unaudited and pro forma financial statements as required by the SEC and applicable Law) that comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC to the extent required for SEC filings, including the requirements of Regulation S-X, and (ii) provide and make reasonably available upon reasonable notice the senior management employees of Remainco or RMT Partner, as the case may be, to discuss the materials prepared and delivered pursuant to this Section 8.4(f).

Section 8.5            RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting.

(a)            Subject to Section 8.2, RMT Partner will take, in accordance with applicable Law and its Organizational Documents, all action necessary to convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the RMT Partner Shareholder Approval (the “RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting”) as promptly as practicable following the date on which the SEC advises it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement and, if required by the SEC as a condition to the mailing of the Proxy Statement, the RMT Partner Registration Statement is declared effective, and in any event within forty-five (45) days thereafter, and to cause such vote to be taken, and shall not postpone or adjourn such meeting except to the extent required by Law or, if as of the time for which the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of voting capital stock represented (either in person or by proxy) and voting to approve the RMT Partner Share Issuance and the RMT Partner Charter Amendment or to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting. Subject to Section 8.3, the RMT Partner Board shall recommend that the shareholders of RMT Partner approve the RMT Partner Share Issuance and the RMT Partner Charter Amendment and shall take all lawful action to solicit such approval. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, RMT Partner agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, and, to the extent required by the terms of this Agreement, RMT Partner pays to Remainco the RMT Partner Termination Fee in accordance with Section 10.5(b), its obligations to hold the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall not be affected by the making of an RMT Partner Change of Recommendation by the RMT Partner Board and its obligations pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall not be affected by the commencement of or announcement or disclosure of or communication to RMT Partner of any RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal.

(b)            RMT Partner agrees (i) to provide Remainco with reasonably detailed and regular updates concerning proxy solicitation results on a timely basis (including, if requested, promptly providing daily voting reports), and (ii) to give written notice to Remainco one (1) day prior to the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting and on the day of, but prior to the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting, indicating whether as of such date sufficient proxies representing the RMT Partner Shareholder Approval have been obtained. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, on a date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the date the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting is scheduled (the “Original Date”), (A) RMT Partner has not received proxies representing the RMT Partner Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, or (B) it is necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is required to be delivered, RMT Partner shall postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting as long as the date of the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than ten (10) days in connection with any one postponement or adjournment or more than an aggregate of twenty (20) days from the Original Date in reliance on the preceding sentence.

-70-

(c)            Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing will prevent RMT Partner from postponing or adjourning the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting (i) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and dissemination of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the RMT Partner Board reasonably determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is necessary to comply with applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be reviewed by the RMT Partner shareholders in advance of the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting, or (ii) if Remainco provides its prior written consent to such postponement or adjournment.

Section 8.6            Approval of Sole Stockholder of First Merger Sub. Immediately following execution of this Agreement, RMT Partner shall execute and deliver, in accordance with applicable Law and its Organizational Documents, in its capacity as sole stockholder of First Merger Sub, a written consent adopting the plan of merger contained in this Agreement.

Section 8.7            Approval of Sole Stockholder of Spinco.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in this Section 8.8 (but subject to Section 8.8(e) below), each of the Parties shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections, if any, as may be asserted by any Governmental Entity in connection with the HSR Act, any other applicable Antitrust Laws, or any Foreign Regulatory Laws with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions and to avoid the entry of, or effect the dissolution of, any decree, order, judgment, injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding, that would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions.

(b)            Xxxxxxxx and RMT Partner shall each, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information, subject to Section 8.10, concerning itself, its Affiliates, directors, officers and shareholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of Remainco or RMT Partner or any of their respective Affiliates to any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions.

(d)            Remainco shall determine timing and strategy and be responsible for the final content of any substantive oral or written joint communications with any applicable Governmental Entity, subject to good faith consultation with RMT Partner, and, subject to the foregoing, Remainco and RMT Partner shall jointly coordinate all activities with respect to seeking any permits, clearances or approvals of any Governmental Entity under any U.S. or non-U.S. Antitrust Laws or Foreign Regulatory Laws. Subject to Xxxxxxxx’s right to determine timing and strategy set forth above, Remainco and RMT Partner shall have the right to review in advance (subject to, as necessary, redactions of commercially sensitive terms or the privileged information of such party or the exchange of information on an “outside counsel only” basis) and each shall consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, all the information relating to Remainco and RMT Partner, as the case may be, and any of their respective Affiliates, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transaction. Subject to Remainco’s right to determine timing and strategy set forth above, neither Remainco nor RMT Partner shall permit any of its officers or any other representatives or agents to participate in any meeting or substantive communication with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry relating to the Transaction unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate thereat (and to the extent such other Party did not participate in any communication with a Governmental Entity promptly, and in no event later than 24 hours thereafter, provide such other Party with a reasonably detailed summary of such communication).

-72-

(e)            For the purposes of this Section 8.8, “reasonable best efforts” shall include taking any and all actions necessary to obtain the consents, approvals, permits, waiting period expirations or authorizations of any Governmental Entity required to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable (including taking any and all actions to (i) defend any lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions, (ii) divest, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of or hold separate (or agree to do any of the foregoing) any of their respective businesses, assets or any portions thereof, (iii) effect any conditions, commitments or restrictions (or agree to do any of the foregoing) on or related to the conduct of their respective businesses, including with respect to the individuals designated to serve as directors on the RMT Partner Board pursuant to Section 2.8, and (iv) implement the strategies and actions determined pursuant to this Section 8.8 and Section 9.1(d)(iii) of the Spinco Disclosure Letter) provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement:

(i)            neither Remainco nor RMT Partner, or their respective Subsidiaries (including the Spinco Entities), shall be required to, and neither of them shall, without the prior written consent of the other Party (which may or may not be granted in the sole discretion of such other Party), take or refrain from taking, or agree to take or refrain from taking, any action or actions that, individually or in the aggregate, would, or would be reasonably expected to, materially and adversely affect (A) the assets, business, results of operation or financial condition of Remainco or RMT Partner and its Subsidiaries (including Spinco and the Spinco Subsidiaries), taken as a whole, after the consummation of the Transactions, or (B) the Intended Tax Treatment of the Transactions (any such action, a “Detriment”).

(ii)           Remainco and its Affiliates (other than the Spinco Entities) shall not be required to (A) divest, transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of or hold separate (or agree to do any of the foregoing) any of their respective businesses, assets or any portions thereof, or (B) effect any conditions, commitments or restrictions (or agree to do any of the foregoing) on or related to the conduct of their respective businesses, except with respect to Remainco’s right to designate directors on the RMT Partner Board pursuant to Section 2.8 (any action described in clause (A) or (B), a “Remainco Detriment”).

(iii)          Subject to Xxxxxxxx’s right to direct timing and strategy as set forth in Section 8.8(d) above, no Party’s good faith actions to continue to contest any objection to this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions in an effort to achieve a more favorable resolution of such objection shall be a breach of such Party’s obligations under this Section 8.8 unless and until it would cause or be reasonably expected to cause, the Merger and the other Transactions not to be consummated prior to the Outside Date.

(f)             Each of Remainco and RMT Partner shall provide the other Party with all information requested by such Party that is reasonably necessary to identify any Regulatory Approvals required under any Antitrust Law (other than the HSR Act), or Foreign Regulatory Law applicable to the consummation of the Merger or the RMT Partner Share Issuance (“Additional Consents”). The Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly, and in no event no later than forty-five (45) days after the date hereof, identify any Additional Consents. To the extent the Parties identify any Additional Consents, such Additional Consents shall be added to Section 9.1(d) of the Spinco Disclosure Letter as if the Parties had included them on Section 9.1(d) of the Spinco Disclosure Letter as of the date of this Agreement, applying for this purpose the same standards of legal and business significance as were used by the parties in agreeing on Section 9.1(d) of the Spinco Disclosure Letter as of the date of this Agreement. In the event the Parties are unable to agree whether any amendment to Section 9.1(d) of the Spinco Disclosure Letter is required by this Section 8.8(f), the determination of Remainco as to whether such amendment is required shall be final and binding on the Parties.

(b)            The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.10 shall not require, and shall not be construed to require, either Remainco or RMT Partner to permit any access to any of its officers, employees, agents, contracts, books or records, or its properties, offices or other facilities, or to permit any inspection, review, sampling or audit, or to disclose or otherwise make available any information that in the reasonable judgment of Remainco or RMT Partner, as applicable, would (i) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of any third parties or violate the terms of any confidentiality provisions in any agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement if the Party shall have used commercially reasonable efforts (without payment of any consideration, fees or expenses) to obtain the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure, (ii) result in a violation of applicable Law, including any fiduciary duty, (iii) waive the protection of any attorney-client privilege, or (iv) result in the disclosure of any personal information that would expose the Party to the risk of liability. In the event that Remainco or RMT Partner, as applicable, objects to any request submitted pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 8.10 and withholds information on the basis of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), Remainco or RMT Partner, as applicable, shall inform the other Party as to the general nature of what is being withheld and Remainco or RMT Partner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure that does not suffer from any of the foregoing impediments, including through the use of commercially reasonable efforts to (A) obtain the required consent or waiver of any third party required to provide such information, and (B) implement appropriate and mutually agreeable measures to permit the disclosure of such information in a manner to remove the basis for the objection, including by arrangement of appropriate clean room procedures, redaction or entry into a customary joint defense agreement with respect to any information to be so provided, if the Parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege. Each of Remainco or RMT Partner, as it deems advisable and necessary, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive material provided to the other as “Outside Counsel Only Material” or with similar restrictions. Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient, or otherwise as the restriction indicates, and be subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between the Parties as the parties may mutually agree.

(d)            No exchange of information or investigation by RMT Partner or its Representatives or by Xxxxxxxx, Spinco or their respective Representatives shall affect or be deemed to affect, modify or waive the representations and warranties of any of the Parties set forth in this Agreement.

RMT Partner shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party pursuant hereto if it shall be determined that the Indemnified Party acted in bad faith and not in a manner such Indemnified Party believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Spinco Entities.

(b)            Prior to the First Effective Time, the Spinco Entities shall cause the Surviving Entity as of the First Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for “tail” insurance policies for the extension of (i) the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Spinco Entities’ existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies, and (ii) the Spinco Entities’ existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of six (6) years from and after the First Effective Time (the “Tail Period”) from one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as the Spinco Entities’ insurance carrier as of the date of this Agreement with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (collectively, “D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable, taken as a whole, to the insureds as the Spinco Entities’ existing policies with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions). If the Spinco Entities and the Surviving Entity for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policies as of the First Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall, and RMT Partner shall cause the Surviving Entity to, continue to maintain in effect for the Tail Period the D&O Insurance in place as of the date of this Agreement with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable, taken as a whole, to the insureds as provided in the Spinco Entities’ existing policies as of the date of this Agreement, or the Surviving Entity shall, and RMT Partner shall cause the Surviving Entity to, purchase comparable D&O Insurance for the Tail Period with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable, taken as a whole, as provided in the Spinco Entities’ existing policies as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate cost of the D&O Insurance exceed during the Tail Period an amount equal to six (6) multiplied by three hundred percent (300%) of the current aggregate annual premium paid by the Spinco Entities for such purpose; and provided further, that, if the cost of such insurance coverage exceeds such amount, the Surviving Entity shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount.

(c)            Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 8.15, upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall promptly notify RMT Partner thereof in writing, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity of any liability it may have to such Indemnified Party except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party. In the event of any Proceeding: (i) RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity shall have the right to assume the defense thereof (it being understood that by electing to assume the defense thereof, neither RMT Partner nor the Surviving Entity will be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto or assumed any liability with respect thereto), except that if RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity elects not to assume such defense or legal counsel for the Indemnified Party advises that there are issues which raise conflicts of interest between RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may retain legal counsel satisfactory to them, and RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of such legal counsel for the Indemnified Party promptly as statements therefor are received; provided, however, that RMT Partner and the Surviving Entity shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 8.15(c) to pay for only one firm of legal counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one legal counsel for such Indemnified Parties would present such legal counsel with a conflict of interest (provided that the fewest number of legal counsels necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used); (ii) the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter if RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity elects to assume such defense and RMT Partner and the Surviving Entity shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter if RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity elects not to assume such defense; (iii) the Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity elects to assume such defense and RMT Partner and the Surviving Entity shall not be liable for any settlement effected without their prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity elects not to assume such defense; (iv) RMT Partner and the Surviving Entity shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party if and when a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine, and such determination shall have become final, that the indemnified action of such Indemnified Party in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law; and (v) all rights to indemnification in respect of any such Proceedings shall continue until final disposition of all such Proceedings.

(d)            During the Tail Period, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the First Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Spinco Entities or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Spinco Entities, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement, shall survive the Transactions unchanged and shall not be amended, restated, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(e)            If RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of RMT Partner or the Surviving Entity shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 8.15.

(f)             The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 8.15 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Organizational Documents of the Spinco Entities, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Spinco Entities for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees (it being understood that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.15 is not prior to or in substitution of any such claims under such policies).

(g)            This Section 8.15 is intended to be for the benefit of, and from and after the First Effective Time shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.15.

Section 8.16          Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the Transactions, each of Remainco (including the Remainco Board) and RMT Partner (including the RMT Partner Board), respectively, shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Transactions.

Section 8.17          Section 16 Matters. RMT Partner, Remainco and Spinco, and the RMT Partner Board and the Remainco Board (or duly formed committees thereof consisting of non-employee directors (as such term is defined for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act)), shall, prior to the First Effective Time, take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to cause the Transactions and any other dispositions of equity securities of Remainco or Spinco (including derivative securities) or acquisitions of equity securities of RMT Partner (including derivative securities) in connection with the Transactions by any individual or entity that is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to Remainco or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to RMT Partner, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(a)            Except to the extent provided in Section 10.5(b) below, in the event of termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the Merger and the other Transactions pursuant to this ARTICLE X, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability to any Person on the part of any Party (or any of its Representatives or Affiliates); provided, however, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no such termination shall relieve any Party of any liability or damages to any other Party resulting from any Willful Breach of this Agreement, and (ii) the provisions set forth in this Section 10.5 and ARTICLE XI (other than Section 11.12 thereof) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

-96-

(b)            In the event that this Agreement is terminated:

(i)            by Remainco or RMT Partner pursuant to Section 10.2(a), and (A) prior to such termination, an RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal shall have been publicly announced or otherwise becomes publicly known after the date of this Agreement (and in any such case, such RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal is not publicly withdrawn at least four (4) Business Days prior to the RMT Partner Shareholders Meeting), and (B) on or prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of such termination, an RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal is consummated or RMT Partner enters into RMT Partner Alternative Acquisition Agreement, then RMT Partner shall be obligated to pay a termination fee of Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000) (the “RMT Partner Termination Fee”) to Remainco by wire transfer of immediately available cash funds on the third (3^rd) Business Day following the earlier of the date that RMT Partner (1) enters into a RMT Partner Alternative Acquisition Agreement, and (2) consummates such RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal; provided that solely for purposes of this Section 10.5(b)(i), that references to twenty percent (20%) in the definition of “RMT Partner Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be references to fifty percent (50%);

(ii)           by Remainco pursuant to Section 10.3(a), then Remainco shall be obligated to pay a termination fee of Ten Million dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Spinco Termination Fee”) to RMT Partner by wire transfer of immediately available cash funds immediately prior to or concurrently with such termination;

(d)            The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 10.5 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if RMT Partner fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 10.5, and, in order to obtain such payment, Remainco or Spinco commences a suit that results in a judgment against RMT Partner for the fees set forth in this Section 10.5 or any portion of such fees, RMT Partner shall pay to Remainco or Spinco its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee at the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, in effect on the date such payment was required to be made from the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

Section 11.1          Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, shall not survive the Second Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to ARTICLE X, except as set forth in Section 8.18, Section 10.5 and except for those covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed in whole or in part after the Second Effective Time (or termination of this Agreement, as applicable), which shall survive until they are fully effectuated or performed.

Section 11.2          Modification or Amendment; Waiver.

(a)            Subject to the provisions of applicable Law and the provisions of, at any time prior to the Second Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived if such amendment, modification or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment or modification, by each Party, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective; provided that any amendments or modifications to Section 8.19, this Section 11.2(a), Section 11.4(b), Section 11.4(c), Section 11.8 and Section 11.9, to the extent materially adversely affecting any of the Spinco Lenders or any of the other Financing Sources, shall not be effective with respect to such affected Spinco Lenders or Financing Sources unless such affected Financing Sources party to the Spinco Commitment Letter or any other applicable Financing Agreement provide their prior written consent to such amendment or modification. The conditions to each of the Parties’ respective obligations to consummate the Transactions are for the sole benefit of such Party and may be waived by such Party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, however, that any such waiver shall only be effective if made in writing and executed by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(b)            No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under applicable Law shall operate as a waiver of such rights and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

Section 11.3          Counterparts.

Section 11.4          Governing Law and Venue; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a)            THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION.

(b)            Each of the Parties agrees that: (i) it shall bring any Proceeding in connection with, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Transactions exclusively in the courts of the State of Delaware in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division), provided that if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the Proceeding is vested exclusively in the United States federal courts, such Proceeding shall be heard in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”); and (ii) solely in connection with such Proceedings, (A) it irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (B) it waives any objection to the laying of venue in any Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (C) it waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party, (D) mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11.6 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof, and (E) it shall not assert as a defense, any matter or claim waived by the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) of this Section 11.4(b) or that any Governmental Order issued by the Chosen Courts may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each Party on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates: (w) agrees that it will not bring or support any legal proceeding against any of the Spinco Lenders or any of the other Financing Sources in any way relating to the Financing in any forum other than the federal and New York state courts located in the Borough of Manhattan within the City of New York; (x) agrees that, except as specifically set forth in the Spinco Commitment Letter or the other Financing Agreements, all claims or causes of action (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against any of the Spinco Lenders or any of the other Financing Sources relating to this Agreement, the Merger, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the performance of services related hereto, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing, shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York; (y) agrees to waive and hereby waives, irrevocably and unconditionally, any right to a trial by jury in any such legal action, suit or proceeding against any of the Spinco Lenders or any of the other Financing Sources relating to the Financing; and (z) agrees to waive and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any objection which such Party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such legal action, suit or proceeding against any of the Spinco Lenders or any of the other Financing Sources relating to the Financing in any such 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 any Proceeding or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Proceeding brought pursuant to this Section 11.4(b).

-99-

(c)            EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY BE IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISE OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY INSTRUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY INSTRUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND CERTIFIES (I) THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTIES HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTIES WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 11.4(c).

Section 11.5          Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the Transactions are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or damage would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other available remedies a Party may have in equity or at law, each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to obtain an injunction restraining any breach or violation or threatened breach or violation of the provisions of this Agreement without necessity of posting a bond or other form of security. In the event that any Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 11.7          Entire Agreement.

(a)            This Agreement (including the exhibits and annexes hereto), the Spinco Disclosure Letter, the RMT Partner Disclosure Letter, the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, understandings, and representations and warranties, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters.

-101-

(b)            Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the provisions set forth in Section 6.22 and Section 7.22 and, without limiting such provisions, additionally acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (i) no Party has made or is making any other representations, warranties, statements, information or inducements, (ii) no Party has relied on or is relying on any other representations, warranties, statements, information or inducements, and (iii) each Party hereby disclaims reliance on any other representations, warranties, statements, information or inducements, oral or written, express or implied, or as to the accuracy or completeness of any statements or other information, made by, or made available by, itself or any of its Representatives, in each case with respect to, or in connection with, the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Transactions, and notwithstanding the distribution, disclosure or other delivery to the other or the other’s Representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing, and waives any claims or causes of action relating thereto, other than those for intentional fraud in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to the express representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 11.8          Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except, from and after the Second Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties with respect to the provisions of Section 8.15, the Parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other Parties on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns any rights or remedies, express or implied, hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of Section 11.7(b), the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 11.2 without notice or liability to any other Person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties. Consequently, Persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Spinco Lenders and the other Financing Sources are third-party beneficiaries of Section 8.19, Section 11.2(a), Section 11.4(b), Section 11.4(c), this Section 11.8 and Section 11.9.

Section 11.9          Non-Recourse. Unless expressly agreed to otherwise by the Parties in writing, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Proceeding in connection with, arising out of or otherwise resulting from this Agreement, or any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Transactions, may only be brought against the Persons expressly named as Parties (or any of their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. No (a) past, present or future director, employee (including any officer), incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, other equity holder or persons in a similar capacity, Spinco Lenders or other Financing Sources controlling person, Affiliate or other Representative of any Party or any of their respective successors and permitted assigns, or (b) past, present or future director, employee (including any officer), incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, other equity holder or persons in a similar capacity, controlling person, Affiliate or other Representative of any of the Persons set forth in the foregoing clause (a) or any of their respective successors and permitted assigns (unless, for the avoidance of doubt, such Person is a Party), shall have any liability or other obligation for any obligation of any Party under this Agreement or for any Proceeding in connection with, arising out of or otherwise resulting from this Agreement, or any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Transactions; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.9 shall limit any liability or other obligation of the Parties for breaches of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Section 11.9 shall not affect the rights of any Person as a party to the Spinco Commitment Letter to enforce the Spinco Commitment Letter or any other applicable Financing Agreement in accordance with its terms.

-102-

Section 11.10        Fulfillment of Obligations. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Remainco to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Remainco to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Spinco to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Spinco to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of RMT Partner (including after the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries) to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of RMT Partner to cause such Subsidiary (including after the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Entity and its Subsidiaries) to take such action. Any obligation of one Party to any other Party under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, which obligation is performed, satisfied or properly fulfilled by an Affiliate of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

Section 11.11        Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and whether or not the Transactions are consummated, all costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel and financial advisors, if any) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses.

All sales, use, privilege, transfer (including real property transfer), intangible, recordation, registration, documentary, stamp, duty or similar Taxes (“Transfer Taxes”) imposed on Spinco or Merger Subs upon the consummation of the Merger shall be borne equally by Remainco and Spinco. Remainco and Spinco shall reasonably cooperate to prepare and timely file any Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes. This Section 11.12 shall not apply to Transfer Taxes the payment or reimbursement of which is expressly addressed by any Transaction Document or to Transfer Taxes imposed in respect of the Internal Restructuring, the Separation, the Contribution, the Initial Spin, or the Spinco Distribution, which shall be the sole responsibility of Remainco.

Section 11.13        Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision to be negotiated by the Parties, each acting reasonably and in good faith shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be legal, valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability affect the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.
