(h)In the event that multiple insureds make claims or deliver notices of circumstances with respect to the same underlying events or facts under any insurance policy providing the Agreed Coverage, then, provided that attorney-client privilege and attorney-work product protection are protected and preserved with respect to such matters (including by entering into a common interest agreement), each of the Company (with respect to claims or notices by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Director, officer or employee of the Company other than a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Individual) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (with respect to claims or notices by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Individual) shall cooperate with the other in connection with (i) the defense of allegations from third parties with respect to the underlying events or facts, and (ii) dealing with the insurers providing the Agreed Coverage with respect to asserting rights to coverage in respect of such third party claims and the underlying events or facts, in all cases with the intention of seeking to maximize the aggregate benefits to all insureds under the Agreed Coverage in respect of such third party claims and the underlying events or facts.
(i)In the event that any conflict of interest arises between insureds that make claims or deliver notices of circumstances under any insurance policy providing the Agreed Coverage, then each of the Company (with respect to claims or notices by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Director, officer or employee of the Company) and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (with respect to claims or notices by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Individual) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such conflict or to manage it in such a way as to maximize the aggregate benefits to all insureds under the Agreed Coverage.
(j)For purposes of this Section 6.4, “▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Individual” shall mean (i) any director, officer or employee of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, or (ii) any Person designated by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ as a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Director and who serves in such capacity.
(k)Without prejudice to Section 6.4(a), where any ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Individual becomes involved in any claim, action, cause of action, suit, proceeding or investigation of any nature in connection with which he may be entitled to indemnification by the Company, the Company shall undertake to pay to any third party (as a direct and primary obligation of the Company to that third party) any expenses in connection therewith for which the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Individual would be entitled to indemni-fication. This Section 6.4(k) shall apply to such expenses as are identified by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Individual. The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Individual shall not be entitled to advancement of any such expenses that the Company is obligated to pay directly to a third party.
SECTION 6.5 Non-Solicitation.
(a) Until the Third Threshold Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Related Persons to, solicit for employment, recruit for employment or hire (or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire) any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who are known by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (or the relevant Related Person) to be employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Company; and
(b) until the Third Threshold Date, the Company shall not, nor shall it cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, solicit for employment, recruit for employment or hire (or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire) any employees of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or any of its Related Persons who are known by the Company (or its relevant Subsidiary) to be employed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Related Persons without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 6.5 shall prohibit or apply to a Party or any of its Subsidiaries conducting general advertisements that are not specifically targeted at employees of another Party or any of its Subsidiaries; and provided further, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.5 shall not apply to solicitations, recruitment or hiring by the “Affiliates” of the Company, as such term is used in the Company’s
9
reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act: if neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries other than such “Affiliates” has induced, encouraged or participated in the otherwise prohibited solicitation, recruitment or hiring by such “Affiliate”.

SECTION 8.2 Binding Effect; Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to give any person other than the parties to this Agreement or their respective successors or permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of any agreement or any provision contained herein.
SECTION 8.3 Remedies.
(a)The Parties hereby expressly recognize and acknowledge that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage could result, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Therefore, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy available to any Party, and notwithstanding the provisions of Article 7, an aggrieved Party under this Agreement is entitled to seek specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Neither Party shall be required to obtain or furnish any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining or seeking any such remedy. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations under this Agreement or any other injunctive relief.
(b)Such remedies, and any and all other remedies provided for in this Agreement, shall be cumulative in nature and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever which any Party may otherwise have. Each of the Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the Parties. Each Party hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by the other Party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds.
SECTION 8.4 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules thereof. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process by any means available under Delaware law and consent to the exclusive, both personal and subject-matter, jurisdiction and venue of any chancery court in the state of Delaware and irrevocably waive the right to object to such venue of any such court on the grounds that such forum is inconvenient. To the extent that in any jurisdiction any party may now or hereafter claim or be entitled to claim, for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment (before or after judgment) or other legal process, each party irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by law, not to claim, and it hereby waives, such immunity in connection with any contractual dispute with respect to this agreement. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
SECTION 8.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but both of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
SECTION 8.6 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the Parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the extent that any such provision is so held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall in good faith use commercially reasonable efforts to find and effect an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such provision.
SECTION 8.7 Confidential Information. Each Party shall treat all information provided to it by any other Party with the same degree of care as such Party treats its own information of the same nature (including, compliance with Regulation FD under the Exchange Act to the extent applicable), provided that this Section 8.7 shall not apply to information relating to or disclosed in any registration statement filed in accordance with the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement. Proprietary information received by a Party from any other Party shall not be utilized by such Party to engage, directly or indirectly (including through Subsidiaries) in a business in competition with the business of such other Party or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may use proprietary information from the Company for
11
the purpose of monitoring and managing its investment in the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions in this Section 8.7 shall not apply to any Party to the extent that (i) any information is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Party, (ii) any information is required by Applicable Law to be disclosed by such Party or (iii) any information was or becomes available to such Party on a non-confidential basis and from a source (other than another Party or any Affiliate or representative of such other Party) that is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information.
SECTION 8.8 Market Abuse. In no event shall any Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, or employees communicate material non-public information or price-sensitive information of any other Party in connection with acquiring or disposing of securities of any other Party or transacting in any way in such securities. Each Party shall be liable for any breach of this Section 8.8 by it or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, and employees.
SECTION 8.9 Amendment, Modification and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented only by written agreement executed by the Parties. Any failure of a Party to comply with any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement may be waived by the Party entitled to the benefits thereof only by a written instrument duly executed by the Party granting such waiver, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant or agreement shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure of compliance.
SECTION 8.10 No Partnership or Agency. Nothing in this Agreement shall create a partnership, joint venture or establish a relationship of principal and agent or any other fiduciary relationship between or among any of the Parties.
SECTION 8.11 Other Business. The Company:
(a) acknowledges that each of the other Parties and their respective members, partners, shareholders, officers and directors, employees, agents, representatives, appointed members of the Board of Directors and Subsidiaries (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Persons”) have or may have in the future other business interests, activities and investments, some of which may be in conflict or competition with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;
(b) agrees that, subject to Section 8.7, each of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Persons shall be entitled to carry on such other business interests, activities and investments in such manner as they, in their sole discretion, may choose, and shall not have any obligation to offer any interest or participation in or arising out of such activities, or the income or profits derived therefrom, to the Company or to any of its Subsidiaries; and
(c) agrees that, subject to Section 8.7, the pursuit of such activities, even if competitive with the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, will not be deemed wrongful or improper.
SECTION 8.12 Assignment.
(a)Except as otherwise provided for in Section 8.12(b) or otherwise in this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights of any Party under this Agreement may be assigned by such Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties.
(b)Notwithstanding Section 8.12(a) above, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may, without such consent, assign this Agreement or any of their respective rights hereunder to:
(i)any Related Person of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇;
(ii)any other Person, provided that with respect to this Section 8.12(b)(ii) only (1) the assignee of such rights shall acquire initially the rights hereunder that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ would have at the level of ownership acquired by the assignee (subject to a change in such rights as the assignee’s level of ownership changes, as herein provided), (2) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may only make one assignment pursuant to this Section 8.12(b)(ii), and (3) the assignee of such rights (and any future assignee) may subsequently assign its rights only once, in which event the subsequent assignee initially shall have the rights hereunder that the assignor would have at the level of ownership acquired by such assignee (subject to a change in such rights as the assignee’s level of ownership changes, as herein provided). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend that the assignment rights provided for in this Section 8.12(b)(ii) shall be interpreted as set forth in Schedule I.
12
SECTION 8.13 Further Assurances. Each Party shall, on being required to do so by any other Party, perform or procure the performance of all such acts and/or execute and/or deliver or procure the execution and/or delivery of all such documents (in each case at its own expense), as may be required by law or as any other Party may from time to time reasonably require in order to implement and give full effect to this Agreement.
SECTION 8.14 Reserved
SECTION 8.15 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any schedules or exhibits hereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties hereto in respect of the subject matter covered by this Agreement and supersedes in all respects all prior agreement relating to the subject matter hereof between the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit, reduce or eliminate any rights that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may otherwise have.
SECTION 8.16 Reserved
SECTION 8.17 Term. Except to the extent set forth in the following sentence, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force or effect as of the Third Threshold Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the provisions of Article 1, Article 7, Article 8, and Section 6.3 hereof shall survive termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent this Agreement or rights hereunder have been assigned pursuant to Section 8.12(b)(ii), any termination pursuant to this Section 8.17 shall apply only with respect to the shareholder that ceases to beneficially own, directly or indirectly, at least 7% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
