(h) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent (and any of their respective Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Company Equity Awards 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 Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts (i) shall be timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Company Equity Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Parent or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to the Company of any anticipated deduction or withholding (excluding any withholding in respect of any amounts treated as compensation for Tax purposes) prior to making such deduction or withholding. The Parties hereby agree to take commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding.

(a) Company Options. At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and vested immediately prior to the Effective Time (each a “Vested Company Option”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Vested Company Option award to receive, without interest, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Common Shares subject to such Vested Company Option award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the Per Share Common Stock Merger Consideration over (B) the exercise price per Common Share of such Vested Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

(c) Company Restricted Stock Units.

Each Parent RSU shall otherwise continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (but taking into account any changes thereto provided for in the Stock Plan, in any award agreement or in such Company PSU by reason of this Agreement). For purposes of this Section 4.3(d), the number of Common Shares underlying each Company PSU shall be determined based on the target level of performance.

For purposes of this Section 4.3(e), the number of Common Shares underlying each Company PSU shall be determined based on the target level of performance.

-61-

(b) Exceptions to No Solicitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(c), prior to the time the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that is made after the date of this Agreement and did not result from any breach of the Company’s obligations under this Section 7.2 (other than a breach that is both immaterial and unintentional), the Company may:

(i) provide non-public and other information and data concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and access to the Company and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books and records in response to a request to the Person or Group who made such an Acquisition Proposal; provided that as promptly as practicable (but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after the provision of such information or data) it makes available to Parent, to the extent applicable, correct and complete copies of any non-public information or data concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries or access that the Company provides to any such Person or Group that was not previously made available to Parent and prior to providing any such information or data, the Company and the Person or Group making such Acquisition Proposal shall have entered into a legally binding confidentiality agreement with terms that are not materially less restrictive to such Person or Group than the terms in the Confidentiality Agreement are on Parent (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a standstill provision or otherwise prohibit the making or amending of an Acquisition Proposal if such Acquisition Proposal is made directly to the Company and not publicly disclosed) (any confidentiality agreement satisfying such criteria, a “Permitted Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, that if the Person making such Acquisition Proposal is a competitor of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall not provide any competitively sensitive non-public information to such Person in connection with any actions permitted by this Section 7.2(b) other than in accordance with “clean team” or other similar procedures reasonably designed to limit any material adverse effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of the sharing of such information; and

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

provided that if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clause (i) or this clause (ii) of this Section 7.2(b), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that based on the information then available, (A) and after consultation with its financial advisor, that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or is reasonably likely to result in a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, further, that prior to engaging or otherwise participating in any such discussions or negotiations or furnishing any information to such Person or Group, the Company shall promptly provide Parent with written notice in accordance with Section 7.2(c).

(c) Notice of Acquisition Proposals. The Company shall promptly (but, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) give written notice to Parent if (i) any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or which would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company, (ii) any non-public information or data concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries is requested in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) any discussions or negotiations relating to an Acquisition Proposal are sought to be engaged in or continued, by, from or with the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors and financial

-62-

advisors, setting forth in such notice (1) the identity of such Person or Persons that comprise such Group making such Acquisition Proposal, (2) a summary of the material terms and conditions with respect to any such proposal or offer and, if in writing, a copy thereof, and (3) a summary of any such requests (as applicable) and thereafter shall keep Parent informed on a prompt basis of the status and material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposals or amendments, modifications or supplements thereof and, if in writing, a copy thereof, and the status of any such discussions or negotiations. The Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, enter into any confidentiality agreement subsequent to the date hereof that prohibits the Company from providing to Parent such material terms and conditions and other information.

(d) No Change of Recommendation or Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(i) Except as permitted by Section 7.2(d)(iii) and subject to Section 7.2(e), the Company Board shall not:

(A) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement;

(C) approve, recommend, declare advisable or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable (publicly or otherwise) any Acquisition Proposal or proposal reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or approve, recommend, declare advisable, enter into or propose to approve, recommend, declare advisable or enter into (publicly or otherwise) any Alternative Acquisition Agreement;

(D) within ten (10) Business Days following a written request by Parent following the date of any Acquisition Proposal or any material modification thereto is first published or sent, given or communicated to the shareholders of the Company, fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation; provided that if Parent requests in writing such reaffirmation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting, by the date that is at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting (it being understood that the Company will have no obligation to make such reaffirmation on more than one occasion per Acquisition Proposal and one occasion per material modification thereto);

(E) fail to recommend against any Acquisition Proposal subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal; or

-63-

(F) agree, authorize or commit to do any of the foregoing (it being understood that any material revisions to any Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Acquisition Agreement shall be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal or Alternative Acquisition Agreement, respectively, for purposes of this Section 7.2(d)(i)).

(ii) Except as permitted by Section 7.2(d)(iii), and after compliance in with Section 7.2(d)(iii) (except for failures to comply which are both immaterial and unintentional) and Section 9.3(b), the Company Board shall not cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement or agree, authorize or commit to do so.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, if the Company has complied with this Section 7.2 (except for failures to comply which are both immaterial and unintentional), the Company Board may: (A) effect a Change of Recommendation (1) if an (x) unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal is received by the Company after the date of this Agreement that was made in compliance with this Section 7.2 (except for failures to comply which are both immaterial and unintentional), the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that such Acquisition Proposal is bona fide and such Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn prior to the Change of Recommendation or (y) Intervening Event has occurred and (2) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor, (x) a failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (y), in the case of an Acquisition Proposal contemplated by clause (A)(1)(x) of this Section 7.2(d)(iii), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; and/or (B) take action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 9.3(b), to cause or permit the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal is bona fide and that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (and the Company may enter into or cause a Subsidiary thereof to enter into such an Alternative Acquisition Agreement or agree, authorize or commit to do so); provided, however, that no Change of Recommendation or action to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(b) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement may be taken unless and until: (I) the Company has given Parent written notice at least four (4) Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), which notice shall set forth in writing that the Company Board intends to take such action and the basis therefor, and shall also include, (y) in the case of such an Acquisition Proposal, the information required by Section 7.2(c), specifying the identity of the Person or Group making such Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and attaching the most current version of such agreement, and (z) in the case of an Intervening Event, a reasonable description of such Intervening Event; and (II) during the Notice Period, the Company shall, and shall instruct its legal and financial advisors to, negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives throughout the Notice Period (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) to revise this Agreement such that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Change of Recommendation or to take such action to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(b) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, as

-64-

applicable, would no longer be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; and (III) at the end of the Notice Period, prior to taking action to effect a Change of Recommendation or to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.3(b) to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, the Company Board shall have taken into account any revisions to this Agreement committed to by Parent in writing and any other information offered by Parent in writing in the Notice Period, and shall have thereafter determined in good faith that, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that based on the information then available, and after consultation with its financial advisor, a failure to effect a Change of Recommendation continues to be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or that such Alternative Acquisition Agreement contemplated by clause (B) of this Section 7.2(d)(iii) continues to be an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, and as such the Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to Section 9.3(b), as the case may be (it being understood that (y) any material revisions to any Acquisition Proposal (including any increase in the consideration payable pursuant thereto in response to any adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement made by Parent) shall be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 7.2(c) and this Section 7.2(d)(iii), including for purposes of the Notice Period, except that subsequent to the initial Notice Period, the Notice Period shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days).

(e) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, including making any disclosure the Company Board has reasonably determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so could be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act; provided, however that in no event will the Company effect a Change of Recommendation except in compliance Section 7.2(d)(iii).

(f) Existing Discussions. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the Company’s directors, executive officers, or controlled Affiliates, and shall instruct its other Representatives to, (i) immediately cease any activities, solicitations, discussions and negotiations with any Person or Group conducted prior to execution and delivery of this Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) promptly terminate access to any physical or electronic data room relating to the Company for such Acquisition Proposal or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal and (iii) promptly request the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information provided to any third party in connection with an Acquisition Proposal made in the six (6) months prior to the date of this Agreement (other than in respect of Parent and Merger Sub and this Agreement).

(g) Compliance by Subsidiaries and Representatives. The Company agrees that any violation of this Section 7.2 by any Subsidiary of the Company or any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective Representatives shall be deemed a breach of this Section 7.2 by the Company.

(a) The Company shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and its Organizational Documents, actions necessary to (i) duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than thirty-five (35) days) after the Proxy Statement Clearance Date and (ii) cause a vote upon the adoption of this Agreement to be taken thereat.

(b) The Company Stockholders Meeting shall not be postponed, recessed or adjourned by the Company without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that: the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting without such consent, (i) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient Common Shares and Preferred Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Stockholders Meeting or to obtain the Requisite Company Vote at the Company Stockholders Meeting or (ii) if (after consultation with outside legal counsel) it is necessary under applicable law to comply with the requirements made by the SEC or other applicable Law with respect to the Proxy Statement; provided that in no event will the Company postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting without such consent (x) in the case of clause (i), by more than ten (10) days in connection with any one postponement, recess or adjournment; or (y) in the case of clause (ii), by more than ten (10) Business Days or such other amount of time reasonably agreed by the Company and Parent to be necessary to comply with applicable Law; provided, further, that in the case of clause (i) the Company shall, and shall instruct its proxy solicitor to use best efforts to, solicit as promptly as practicable the presence, in person or by proxy, of a quorum, but shall only be obligated to do so in the absence of the Change of Recommendation and until there are a sufficient number of Common Shares and Preferred Shares present or represented to obtain such a quorum, and in no event more than ten (10) days after the date originally scheduled for the Company Stockholders Meeting. The Company shall, at the instruction of Parent, postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting if there are not sufficient votes in person or by proxy to secure the Requisite Company Vote to allow reasonable time (but in no event more than twenty (20) days) for the solicitation of proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Company Vote.

-73-

(d) To the extent that any of the information or documents furnished or otherwise made available pursuant to this Section 7.8 or otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Confidentiality Agreement constitutes information or documents that may be subject to an attorney-client privilege or protection (including attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protections and confidentiality protections) or any other applicable privilege or protection concerning pending or threatened Proceedings, the Parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material and information is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or information or its continued protection under such privileges and protections.

(e) No access or information provided to Parent, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives, whether pursuant to this Section 7.8 or otherwise, shall affect or be deemed to affect, modify or waive the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement and, for the avoidance of doubt, all information and documents disclosed or otherwise made available pursuant to Section 7.5, Section 7.6, this Section 7.8 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange or sharing of information and any restrictions or requirements imposed by any Governmental Entity.

Thereafter, neither Parent or its Subsidiaries nor the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, shall, without the consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) issue or cause the publication of any press releases or otherwise make or issue public statements, disclosures or communications with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except (a) as may be required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange, interdealer quotation service or the NASDAQ, (b) with respect to any Change of Recommendation made in accordance Section 7.2(d)(iii), or (c) each of the Company (and Subsidiaries Representatives thereof) and Parent (and Affiliates and Representatives thereof) may make any public statements, disclosures or communications in response to inquiries from the press, analysts, investors, customers or suppliers or via industry conferences or analyst or investor conference calls, so long as such statements, disclosures or communications are not inconsistent in tone and substance with previous public statements, disclosures or communications jointly made or approved by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and Parent or any of its Affiliates, or to the extent that they have been reviewed and previously approved by both the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and Parent or any of its Affiliates and would not reasonably be expected to require the other parties (Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand) to make additional public disclosure.

(a) In the event the Company or Parent intends to terminate this Agreement and abandon the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2, Section 9.3 or Section 9.4, as applicable, the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall give written notice to the other Party or Parties (as the case may be) specifying the provision or provisions of this Agreement pursuant to which such termination and abandonment is intended to be effected.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are abandoned pursuant to this Article IX, 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 Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives); provided, however, that: (i) no such termination shall relieve any Party of any liability or damages to any other Party (A) resulting from any actual fraud or knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement or (B) as contemplated by Section 9.3(b), Section 9.5(c) and Section 9.5(d); and (ii) the provisions set forth in Section 9.3(b), this Section 9.5 and the second sentence of Section 10.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and any abandonment of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing shall limit or prevent any Party from exercising any rights or remedies it may have under Section 10.7 in lieu of terminating this Agreement pursuant to Article IX. As used in this Agreement, the phrase “knowing and intentional” means, with respect to any act or omission, the taking of a deliberate act, or omission, which act constitutes in and of itself a material breach, with the actual knowledge that the taking of, or failure to take, such act would cause or constitute or would reasonably be expected to cause or constitute a breach of this Agreement.

-85-

(c) In the event this Agreement is terminated and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement abandoned pursuant to this Article IX:

(i) by either the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 9.2(a) (but only if at such time of termination each of the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 are satisfied other than Section 8.1(a)) or Section 9.2(b) or by Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(a) and, in each case:

(A) any Person or Group shall have made an Acquisition Proposal to the Company or its stockholders generally after the date of this Agreement, which becomes publicly known or announced (and not publicly withdrawn), and

(B) within twelve (12) months after such termination, the Company enters into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or consummates any Acquisition Proposal (with “fifty percent (50%)” being substituted in lieu of “fifteen percent (15%)” in each instance thereof in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal”) for purposes of this Section 9.5(c)(i)(B),

then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds concurrently with the consummation of an Acquisition Proposal.

(ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.4(b)(i), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days following the date of such termination and abandonment;

(iii) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3(b), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds immediately prior to or concurrently with such termination; or

(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, (ii) the agreements set forth in this Section 9.5 and Section 9.3(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, other than in the case of actual fraud or knowing and intentional breach of this Agreement by the Company and subject to Section 10.7, in the event that the Termination Fee becomes payable by, and is paid or caused to be paid by, the Company, such fee shall be Parent’s sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages or other relief pursuant to this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 9.5, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the fees set forth in this Section 9.5 or any portion of such fees, the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented non-contingent attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount due pursuant to this Section 9.5 from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the annual rate of two percent (2%) plus the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment (or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law).

(b) The conditions to each of the respective Parties’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are for the sole benefit of such Party and may be waived by such Party. Any Party may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waive any provision of this Agreement in whole or in part (including by extending the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties); provided, however, that any such waiver shall only be effective if made in a written instrument duly executed and delivered by the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. 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 except to the extent provided for otherwise in Section 9.5.

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

(a) This Agreement and all Proceedings against any other Party in connection with, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement, shall be interpreted, construed, governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the state of Delaware, including, subject to Section 10.1, its statutes of limitations, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions, rules or principles thereof (or any other jurisdiction) to the extent that such provisions, rules or principles would direct a matter to another jurisdiction.

-89-

(b) Each of the Parties agrees that: (i) it shall bring any Proceeding against any other Party 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 contemplated by this Agreement exclusively in the Chosen Courts; and (ii) solely in connection with such Proceedings, (A) irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (B) irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue in any such Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (C) irrevocably waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party, (D) agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.2 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 10.6(b) or that any Order issued by the Chosen Courts may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts.

(c) Each Party acknowledges and agrees that any Proceeding against any other Party which may be connected with, arise out of or otherwise relate to this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is expected 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 such Proceeding. Each Party hereby acknowledges and certifies that (i) no Representative of the other Parties has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Parties would not, in the event of any 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, the instruments or other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers, acknowledgments and certifications set forth in this Section 10.6(c).

10.7. Specific Performance. (a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement 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, except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 9.5, 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, consistent with the provisions of Section 10.6(b), 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, except to the extent consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 9.5.

(b) To the extent any Party brings a Proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than a Proceeding to specifically enforce any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement) when expressly available to such Party pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Outside Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the twentieth Business Day following the resolution of such Proceeding, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Proceeding.

10.8. Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies, express or implied, hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of Section 10.11(c), the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, except that the Indemnified Parties pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.11(a) and each of their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns shall be third party beneficiaries of Section 7.11(a).

Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Any obligation of one Party to any other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or properly fulfilled by a Subsidiary of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

10.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Except as may be required to satisfy the obligations contemplated by Section 7.11(a), no Party may assign this Agreement, any right to damages for breach of this Agreement or any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of Law, by transfer or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties not seeking to assign this Agreement, any right to damages for breach of this Agreement or any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations, except as provided for in Section 10.9, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 10.10 shall be null and void.

10.11. Entire Agreement.

(c) Each Party acknowledges the provisions set forth in Section 5.24 and Section 6.10 and, without limiting such provisions, additionally acknowledges and agrees that, except for the express representations and warranties set forth in 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 contemplated by this Agreement 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.

10.12. 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.

10.13. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement (a) may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement and (b) shall become effective when each Party shall have received one or more counterparts hereof signed by each of the other Parties. An executed copy of this Agreement delivered by email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original executed copy of this Agreement.
