(e)            Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall, and shall cause their respective accountants to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Final Closing Statement and the calculation of the Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount and in the conduct of reviews referred to in this Section 5.3, including making available, to the extent reasonably necessary, books, records, work papers and personnel, subject to the execution of a customary confidentiality agreement with respect thereto.

(f)            The Closing Company Indebtedness and Company Transaction Expenses as determined pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be used to determine the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 5.1. For purposes of this agreement, “Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount” means the Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount (x) as shown in Parent’s Final Closing Statement, if no Objection Notice with respect thereto is duly and timely delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(b), or (y) if an Objection Notice is duly and timely delivered, (A) as agreed by Parent and the Stockholder Representative or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the independent accounting firm’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 5.3(d). Once the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount is determined in accordance with Section 5.1 and this Section 5.3, the following shall occur:

(i)            if the Estimated Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount, (A) the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Parent in writing the Stockholder Representative’s determination of the portion of such excess payable to each Holder in accordance with such Holder’s Pro Rata Share, (B) Parent shall deliver to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, an amount in cash equal to the amount by which the Estimated Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount exceeds the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount, and (C) following delivery of such written notice by the Stockholder Representative, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to pay, in accordance with the Paying Agent Agreement, to each Holder entitled to receive a portion of such excess, the amount set forth in such notice (provided, that (x) the aggregate amount payable to all Holders pursuant to this Section 5.3(f)(i) shall not exceed the excess of the Estimated Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount over the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount and (y) the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.3(f)(i) that are payable with respect to any Company Equity Award shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Corporation shall pay over such amounts to the Holders of such Company Equity Awards through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation on the first administratively practicable payroll date thereafter, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments); or

(ii)            if the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount, the Escrow Agent shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, within three (3) Business Days of the determination of the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount, pay or cause to be paid such excess by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Parent from the Escrow Funds (provided, that the aggregate amount payable to Parent pursuant to this Section 5.3(f)(ii) shall not exceed the Escrow Amount).

(g)            The Stockholder Representative shall revise the Spreadsheet to reflect any changes to the amounts reflected thereon resulting from changes in the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount (as compared to the Estimated Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount) and shall provide such revised Spreadsheet to Parent promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the determination of the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount.

(h)            All payments made by Parent to the Holders pursuant to Section 5.3(f)(i), and all payments made to Parent by the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 5.3(f)(ii), shall be treated as adjustments to the Aggregate Merger Consideration for Tax purposes.

5.4            Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any Stockholder:

(a)            Conversion of Company Shares and Company Preferred Shares. Each Company Share (other than Company Restricted Shares, which are the subject of Section 5.5(b)) and each Company Preferred Share, in each case, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Company Shares or Company Preferred Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, or Company Shares or Company Preferred Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties (the Company Shares and Company Preferred Shares referred to in this clause (i), the “Excluded Shares”), and (ii) Company Shares or Company Preferred Shares that are owned by Stockholders (“Dissenting Stockholders”) who have properly made and not withdrawn a demand for appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (the Company Shares and Company Preferred Shares referred to in this clause (ii), the “Dissenting Shares”)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time, all of the Company Shares (other than Company Restricted Shares, which are the subject of Section 5.5(b)) and Company Preferred Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each Company Share and each Company Preferred Share (other than Dissenting Shares, Excluded Shares and Company Restricted Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.

(b)            Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Holder of such Excluded Share, shall cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c)            Cancellation of Dissenting Shares. Each Dissenting Share, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Holder of such Dissenting Share, shall cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist, subject to any rights of the Dissenting Stockholders under Section 5.8(e).

5.5            Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a)            Company Options. At the Effective Time, each In the Money Company Option (whether or not vested) shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the Holder thereof, be cancelled and each vested In the Money Option shall be converted into the right to receive, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, an amount in cash equal to (i) the Per Company Option Closing Payment, plus (ii) such additional amounts (if any) payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 5.3(f)(i), Section 5.7(b) or Section 11.5(a). Promptly following receipt of the applicable funds from the Paying Agent (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each Company Option Holder, in immediately available funds through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation, a cash amount equal to (i) the aggregate Per Company Option Closing Payments with respect to the vested In the Money Company Options held by such Holder minus (ii) the Pro Rata Share of the Withheld Amounts with respect to the vested In the Money Company Options held by such Holder, minus (iii) the ISO Loan Repayment Amount owed by such Holder, minus (iv) applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Option which has an exercise price per Company Share that is greater than or equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment.

(b)            Company Restricted Shares. The Paying Agent shall provide to each Holder of Company Restricted Shares a Letter of Transmittal pursuant to Section 5.8(b). At the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share shall, automatically and without any action on the part of the Holder thereof, accelerate in full and be cancelled and shall only entitle the Holder of such Company Restricted Shares to receive (without interest) an amount in cash (the “Company Restricted Share Payment”) equal to (i) the product of (A) the number of Company Restricted Shares held by such Holder multiplied by (B) the Per Share Closing Payment, less (ii) applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such product of (A) and (B). Promptly following receipt of the applicable funds from the Paying Agent (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, subject to receipt of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal from such Holder, pay to each Holder of Company Restricted Shares a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to the applicable Company Restricted Share Payment with respect to the Company Restricted Shares held by such Holder through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation.

(c)            At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the board of directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee thereof shall adopt any resolutions and take any corporate or other action necessary to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.5.

5.6            Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount. On the Closing Date, on behalf of the Holders, Parent shall withhold from the Aggregate Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the Holders and pay to the Stockholder Representative, an amount in cash equal to the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Stockholder Representative in writing no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to be held and used by the Stockholder Representative pursuant to the terms of Section 11.5. The portion of the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount deposited on behalf of each Holder shall be equal to such Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount.

5.7            Escrow Amount.

(a)            The Escrow Amount (together with all accrued interest thereon and any proceeds thereof, the “Escrow Funds”) shall be deposited by Parent at Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement to be entered into at the Closing, by and among Parent, the Stockholder Representative and the Escrow Agent, substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex C (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Funds shall be held for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending three (3) Business Days following the determination of the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount pursuant to Section 5.3 (the “Escrow Period”) and used exclusively for the purpose of paying any amount owed to Parent pursuant to Section 5.3(f)(ii) in the event the Final Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount.

(b)            Immediately after the expiration of the Escrow Period and pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the remaining balance of the Escrow Funds, if any, to be distributed to the Holders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Escrow Funds (provided that the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 5.7(b) that are payable with respect to any Company Equity Award shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Corporation shall pay such amounts to the Holders of such Company Equity Awards through the payroll system of the Surviving Corporation on the first administratively practicable payroll date thereafter, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payments).

5.8            Exchange Procedures.

(a)            Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate Acquiom Financial LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, or another bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Stockholder Representative, to act as payments administrator (the “Paying Agent”) in connection with the Merger. Prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall enter into a payments administration agreement with the Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent Agreement”), which shall have customary terms and shall provide that, on the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver to the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, an amount in cash equal to the Aggregate Closing Consideration by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by the Paying Agent in writing (the “Closing Payment Fund”).

(b)            Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Paying Agent shall provide to each Stockholder of record as of the Effective Time (other than Holders of Excluded Shares) a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex D (each, a “Letter of Transmittal”).

(c)            Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Company Shares, Company Preferred Shares or other equity securities of the Company that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Company Share, Company Preferred Share or other equity security of the Company is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall (subject to compliance with the exchange procedures of Section 5.8(b)) be cancelled and exchanged for the amount to which the Holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article V. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares or Company Preferred Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Company Shares or Company Preferred Shares, as applicable, may be issued to such transferee if such Company Shares or Company Preferred Shares, as applicable, are properly presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents reasonably required to evidence and effect such transfer and to reasonably evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. The Aggregate Merger Consideration, when deposited with the Paying Agent, the Escrow Agent or the Stockholder Representative, as applicable, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Shares (including Company Restricted Shares), Company Preferred Shares and Company Options, other than with respect to any Holder validly asserting appraisal rights in accordance with the DGCL.

(d)            Termination of Closing Payment Fund. Any portion of the Closing Payment Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Closing Payment Fund) that remains unclaimed by the Stockholders for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation. Any Stockholder (other than a Holder of Dissenting Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Section 5.8 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration upon due surrender of its Company Shares and/or Company Preferred Shares, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation, Parent, Paying Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former Holder for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.

(e)            Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares and Company Preferred Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Company Shares and/or Company Preferred Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to the Company Shares and/or Company Preferred Shares held by such Person, but instead such Person shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Company Shares and/or Company Preferred Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. As of the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each Dissenting Stockholder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Person shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Person is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, then the right of such Person to be paid the fair value of such Person’s Dissenting Shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall cease to exist and such Dissenting Shares shall be converted as of the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration (without interest thereon) as if such Dissenting Shares had never been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of its receipt of any demands for appraisal of any Company Shares and/or Company Preferred Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL. The Company, prior to the Effective Time, and the Surviving Corporation, after the Effective Time, shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of any such demands, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be withheld in Parent’s sole and absolute discretion), voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(f)            Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Paying Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Holder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any other applicable provision of any Law relating to Taxes; provided that, except with respect to amounts that are compensatory or required to be withheld as a result of the failure to deliver the certificate contemplated by Section 3.1(d), prior to making any such deduction or withholding, the applicable withholding entity shall provide notice to the Holder of the amounts subject to withholding and a reasonable opportunity for such Holder to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from withholding Tax. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by the deducting or withholding Person to the applicable Governmental Entity as required pursuant to applicable Law, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Persons in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

5.9            Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Article V are intended to be for the benefit of, and following the Effective Time they shall be enforceable against Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation only by, the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Holders, who are intended third party beneficiaries thereof. The covenants and obligations of the Stockholder Representative in this Article V are intended to be for the benefit of, and, following the Effective Time may be enforced against, the Stockholder Representative by the Holders, who are intended third party beneficiaries thereof.

5.10            Repayment of Credit Facilities. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, if requested by Parent, have obtained and delivered to Parent from each of the lenders (or their agent or other representative) in respect of each of the Credit Facilities a customary “payoff letter” (collectively, the “Payoff Letters”) providing, upon receipt of the applicable payoff amounts, that (a) such Credit Facilities shall have been repaid in full as of the Effective Time and (b) if any Indebtedness under such Credit Facilities is secured, that all Liens held by or on behalf of such lenders in respect of the properties and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to such secured Indebtedness shall have been released.

5.11            Payment of Company Transaction Expenses. On the Closing Date, subject to delivery by the Company to Parent and Merger Sub at least three (3) Business Days prior to the expected Closing Date of such information as may be reasonably required to arrange for the payment of all Company Transaction Expenses, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause all outstanding Company Transaction Expenses (except for Uruguayan Reorganization Costs) to be paid in full by wire transfer of immediately available funds to each of the attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, financial advisors or other vendors.

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other and use (and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to use, as applicable) their respective reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as practicable, including preparing and filing as promptly as practicable all documentation to effect all necessary notices, reports and other filings, and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in order to consummate the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance of and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, unless otherwise mutually agreed by outside antitrust counsel of each party, file or cause to be filed with the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice the notification and report form required for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the HSR Act. Parent and the Company shall request or cause to be requested early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act in such filings. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, Parent and the Company shall have the right to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, all of the information relating to Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and Parent shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable and provide such assistance as the other party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing and in seeking early termination of any applicable waiting periods including under the HSR Act.

(b)           The Company and Parent each shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all reasonably necessary information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries, directors, officers and stockholders 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 Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to any third party and/or any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)           Subject to applicable Laws and as required by any Governmental Entity, the Company and Parent each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to completion of the transactions contemplated hereby, including promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Company shall permit any of its Representatives to participate in any meeting or substantive discussion with any Governmental Entity in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry relating to the transactions contemplated hereby 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.

(d)           Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, without limiting the generality of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 7.2 and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each of the Company (in the case of clauses (i), (iii), and (iv) set forth below) and Parent (in all cases set forth below) agrees to take or cause to be taken the following actions:

(i)              the prompt provision to each and every Governmental Entity with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable antitrust or competition Laws (“Government Antitrust Entity”) of non-privileged information and documents requested by any Government Antitrust Entity or that are necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii)             the prompt use of its reasonable best efforts to avoid the entry of any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, (A) the defense through litigation on the merits of any claim asserted in any court, agency or other proceeding by any Person or entity, including, without limitation, any Governmental Entity, seeking to delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin, make unlawful or otherwise prohibit consummation of such transactions, and (B) the proffer and agreement by Parent of its willingness to sell, lease, license or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate pending such disposition, and promptly to effect the sale, lease, license, disposal and holding separate of, such assets, rights, product lines, licenses, categories of assets or businesses or other operations, or interests therein, of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to orders of, the relevant Government Antitrust Entity giving effect thereto) if such action is necessary or advisable to avoid, prevent, eliminate or remove the actual, anticipated or threatened (1) commencement of any proceeding in any forum or (2) issuance of any order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Merger by any Government Antitrust Entity; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be required to cause Parent or its Affiliates to agree to the sale, license, divestiture, hold separate, or other disposition of any assets, businesses, or product lines of Parent or its Affiliates that generated, in the aggregate, revenues in excess of $24,000,000 in the most recently completed twelve-month period prior to the date of this Agreement for which financial information is available, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as applied by the Ultimate Parent Entity in the preparation of its financial statements (a “Burdensome Condition”);

(iii)            the prompt use of its reasonable best efforts to take, in the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction, decision, order, judgment, determination or decree is entered or issued, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered or issued, in any proceeding or inquiry of any kind that would make consummation of the Merger in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any and all steps (including, without limitation, the appeal thereof, the posting of a bond or the taking of the steps contemplated by clause (ii) of this paragraph (d)) necessary to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate or remove such actual, anticipated or threatened injunction, decision, order, judgment, determination or decree so as to permit such consummation on a schedule as close as possible to that contemplated by this Agreement; and

(iv)            if, following consultation between the parties, there is a disagreement between the parties about antitrust strategy, Parent’s good faith decision will control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent has the sole right, to be exercised in good faith, to control and direct antitrust strategy in connection with review by any Government Antitrust Entity of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any action by, or negotiations with, any Government Antitrust Entity or other Person relating to the transactions and will take the lead in all meetings, discussions and communications with any Government Antitrust Entity relating to obtaining antitrust approval for the transactions contemplated hereby.

(e)           Promptly following the time of execution and delivery of this Agreement, in accordance with applicable Law, including Section 228, Section 251(c) and Section 262 of the DGCL and the Company’s Governing Documents, the Company shall seek, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain within the twenty-four (24) hours following the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties hereto (the “Written Consent Delivery Period”), the Written Consent comprising the Required Stockholder Approval for the adoption of this Agreement by the Company’s stockholders and approving the Merger and acknowledging that the adoption and approval are irrevocable and result in the waiver of any right of such stockholders to demand appraisal in connection with the Merger pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. As promptly as practicable and, in any event, prior to the expiration of the Written Consent Delivery Period, if the Written Consent is duly executed and delivered to the Company, the Company shall deliver to Parent a copy thereof (including by facsimile, electronic mail or other electronic image scan transmission).

(f)            Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, in cooperation with Parent, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents and waivers with respect to the Merger as may be required from parties to Contracts to which the Company or one of its Subsidiaries is a party; provided that such cooperation shall not include any requirement of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates to expend money, commence, defend or participate in any litigation, offer or grant any accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third Person, or suffer the loss of any material right or benefit.

All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 7.3(a) shall be directed to the executive officer or other Person designated by the Company, and Parent shall not, directly or indirectly, contact any officer, director, employee, agent or representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written approval (email being sufficient) of such designated Person. In an effort to prevent any interference or disruption caused by such access, the Company may reasonably limit the number of individuals having access to, and the number of visits to, it facilities. All such information shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

9.2           Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination.

(a)           In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.1(c), in either case, as a result of the election by Parent not to agree to comply with a Burdensome Condition in order to obtain the HSR Clearance, as permitted by Section 7.2(d)(ii), then Parent shall pay $42,500,000 (the “Parent Termination Fee”) to the Company (or its designee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds, at or prior to the time of termination in the case of a termination by Parent, or as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days following such termination) in the case of a termination by the Company.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (including Section 9.2), if this Agreement is terminated under circumstances in which Parent is required to pay the Parent Termination Fee: (i) seeking and obtaining Parent’s payment of the Parent Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, the Holders, their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) for any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs, obligations, interest or expenses suffered or incurred by any of the foregoing that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) other than the obligation to pay the Parent Termination Fee, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall have no further liability or obligation that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) none of the Seller Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall have, and the Company, on behalf of the Seller Parties, expressly waives and relinquishes, any other right, remedy or recourse (whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, or whether at law (including at common law or by statute) or in equity) that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iv) the maximum aggregate liability of Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective Affiliates and Representatives to the Seller Parties and their respective Representatives that may be based on, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall not exceed the Parent Termination Fee and none of the Seller Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall seek to recover monetary damages in excess of such amount. The Company acknowledges and hereby agrees that in no event shall Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 9.3(b) shall not apply to Section 11.5(f), which shall be enforceable by the Stockholder Representative in its entirety against the Holders.

(c)            Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that the payment of the Parent Termination Fee is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company and the Holders in the circumstances in which the Parent Termination Fee is payable, for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

Article XI

Miscellaneous and General

11.1            Survival. Except with respect to claims for Fraud, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall not survive the consummation of the Merger and shall terminate at the Effective Time; provided, that this Section 11.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates performance after the Effective Time, including the provisions of this Article XI. It is the intention of the parties that this Section 11.1 governs the survival periods and termination dates of all representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and supersedes any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.

11.2            Amendment. Subject to applicable law, this Agreement may be modified or amended (a) prior to the Closing, by written instrument executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of Parent and the Company and (b) after the Closing, by written instrument executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of Parent and the Stockholder Representative; provided that, after the adoption of this Agreement by the Stockholders of the Company, but prior to the Closing, the parties may amend this Agreement to the extent permitted by the DGCL (which may, depending on the nature of such amendment, require further Stockholder approval).

No waiver by any party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant under this Agreement, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant under this Agreement or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

(a)            The Stockholder Representative (x) shall hold the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount in an account segregated from its corporate funds, (y) shall use the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount solely for the purposes set forth in this Section 11.5 and not for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes, and (z) shall not voluntarily make any portion of the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy.

The Stockholder Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to recover from the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount, prior to any distribution to the Holders, the Stockholder Representative’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of its duties under this Agreement and the agreements ancillary hereto (“Charges”), including, without limitation, costs and expenses resulting from the employment of financial advisors, attorneys, auditors and other advisors and agents assisting in the assessment of arbitration, litigation and settlement of any disputes arising under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement. Upon (i) the completion of the Stockholder Representative’s responsibilities, (ii) the disbursement of all of the Escrow Funds, (iii) final resolution of all disputes arising under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement and (iv) full reimbursement of all Charges of the Stockholder Representative as provided herein, the Stockholder Representative shall distribute any remaining portion of the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount (the “Holdback Distribution Amount”) to the Paying Agent for further distribution to the Holders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; provided that any Holdback Distribution Amount corresponding to any Dissenting Shares or any Company Shares or Company Preferred Shares with respect to which the Holders thereof have not claimed payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 5.8(b) prior to the termination of the Closing Payment Fund pursuant to Section 5.8(d) shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation.

(b)            The Stockholder Representative shall have the right to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Holders arising out of or in any manner relating to this Agreement and each other agreement, document, instrument or certificate referred to herein or the transactions provided for herein, and to take any and all actions which the Stockholder Representative believes are necessary or appropriate under this Agreement to enforce and protect such rights of the Holders, including asserting or pursuing any claim against Parent or the Surviving Corporation. Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not have the right to object to, dissent from, protest or otherwise contest the authority or power of the Stockholder Representative to so act in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Stockholder Representative shall act as it believes to be in the best interests of the Holders. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time. If the Stockholder Representative shall resign or be removed by the Holders, the Holders shall (by consent of those Persons entitled to at least a majority of the Aggregate Merger Consideration), within ten (10) days after such resignation or removal, appoint a successor to the Stockholder Representative. Any such successor shall succeed the former Stockholder Representative as the Stockholder Representative hereunder.

(c)            The Stockholder Representative hereby represents and warrants to Parent, Merger Sub and the Company that: (i) the Stockholder Representative is a legal entity, validly existing and, in all material respects, in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) the Stockholder Representative has all requisite limited liability company authority and has taken all limited liability company action necessary in order to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, subject to the laws of agency, (iii) this Agreement has been, and the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement will be, duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder Representative and, assuming the valid execution and delivery by all counterparties hereto, constitutes or, in the case of the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement, will constitute, a valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder Representative, enforceable against the Stockholder Representative in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (iv) the execution, delivery and performance by the Stockholder Representative of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement does not and will not constitute or result in a breach or violation of, or a default under, the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws or the comparable governing instruments of the Stockholder Representative.

(d)            For purposes of this Agreement, each Holder, without any further action on the part of such Holder, by virtue of such Holder’s approval of the Merger, execution and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal, and/or acceptance of any consideration pursuant to this Agreement, shall be deemed to have consented to the appointment of the Stockholder Representative as of the Effective Time as the representative, agent and attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of each such Holder, and the granting to the Stockholder Representative the full power and authority to represent all of the Holders with respect to all matters arising under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement and any other agreements ancillary hereto in the sole discretion of the Stockholder Representative, and to do all things and to perform all acts on behalf of the Holders, including waiving rights, discharging liabilities and obligations, settling disputes and actions, making decisions relating to the adjustments to the Merger Consideration Adjustment Amount pursuant to this Agreement, and the disbursement of the Escrow Funds (or any portion thereof) in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, and executing and delivering all agreements, certificates, receipts, notices, instructions and other instruments contemplated by, or deemed advisable in connection with, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. All actions taken by the Stockholder Representative hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on each of the Holders as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by each of the Holders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Stockholder Representative shall have full power and authority on behalf of all of the Holders (i) to interpret all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement, (ii) to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement, to negotiate and settle disputes arising under, or relating to, this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement, (iii) to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement, to direct the Paying Agent to disburse to the Holders any funds received on behalf of the Holders under this Agreement or otherwise, (iv) to give all approvals and take any other actions with respect to the Holders in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Paying Agent Agreement, or (v) after the Effective Time, to consent to any amendment to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement. Any and all decisions and actions by the Stockholder Representative shall be binding upon all of the Holders, and each Holder waives the right to object, dissent, protest or otherwise contest the same. Parent, Merger Sub (before the Effective Time), and the Surviving Corporation (after the Effective Time) may deal solely with and rely solely on the Stockholder Representative as the representative of all of the Holders. Parent, Merger Sub (before the Effective Time), and the Surviving Corporation (after the Effective Time) shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Holder by the Stockholder Representative, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Holder by the Stockholder Representative, as fully binding on such Holder. This power of attorney and all authority hereby conferred is granted in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements made herein, and shall be irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any one or more Holders or by operation of Law, whether by death or other event.

(e)            In the event of any pending or threatened action, claim, dispute or other proceeding related to this Agreement, with respect to any information that the Stockholder Representative may share with the Holders, the Stockholder Representative and such Holders will have a commonality of interest with respect thereto and agree that it is their intention and understanding that sharing of information will not waive or diminish the continued protection of the attorney-client privilege, the work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege or doctrine.

(f)            The Stockholder Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Stockholder Representative in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Holders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Holders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Holders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds in the Stockholder Representative Expenses Holdback Amount and (ii) any other funds that become payable to the Holders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Holders; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Holders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Holders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Holders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(g)            The provisions of this Section 11.5 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Holders, who are intended third party beneficiaries hereof.

11.6            Attorney Client Matters. 

(a)            Parent agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.6 and, following the Closing, agrees to cause Parent’s controlled Affiliates and Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) (collectively with Parent, the “Parent Parties”) to comply with the provisions of this Section 11.6 and to execute and deliver any documents or agreements reasonably requested by the Stockholder Representative to implement such provisions.

(b)            Notwithstanding any representation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by Stinson LLP (“Stinson”) prior to the Closing Date, each Parent Party:

(i)            consents to Stinson’s representation of the Stockholder Representative in connection with any matters or disputes arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Paying Agent Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby;

(ii)            waives any claim it has or may have that Stinson has a conflict of interest or is otherwise prohibited from engaging in such a representation described in clause (i) based upon Stinson’s prior representation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and

(iii)            agrees that, if a dispute arises between any Holder, on the one hand, and any Parent Party, on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, Stinson may represent such Holder notwithstanding that the interests of such Holder and such Parent Party may be directly adverse and that Stinson may have represented the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a substantially related matter.

(c)            As to all communications prior to the Closing that reasonably relate to this Agreement, the Paying Agent Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and that are (x) privileged communications between Stinson or another legal advisor, on the one hand, and, prior to the Closing, any Holder or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, or (y) communications that refer or relate to such privileged communications (collectively, “Confidential Communications”), each Parent Party agrees that, in the context of any dispute described in clause (b)(i) above, the attorney-client privilege belongs, to the extent such privilege exists, to the applicable Holder, may be controlled by such Holder and will not pass to or be claimed by any Parent Party. Each Parent Party will not assert that privilege has been waived with respect to Confidential Communications coming into the possession of such Parent Party merely as a result of the Merger. To the extent that any Parent Party has or maintains any control of such privilege of such Confidential Communications, such Parent Party will not, except as may be required by applicable Law, waive or attempt to waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Stockholder Representative. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, following the Closing, a dispute arises between any Parent Party and a third party (other than a Holder, but including any Governmental Entity), such Parent Party may assert the attorney-client privilege against such third party to the extent necessary to prevent disclosure of Confidential Communications. Each Parent Party will take reasonable steps to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Communications.

11.7            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, including electronic counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement.

11.8            Governing Law; Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a)            This Agreement shall be deemed to be made in and in all respects shall be governed by, interpreted and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of DELAWARE, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the Law of ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO another JURISDICTION. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Division) or, if subject matter jurisdiction over the matter that is the subject of the action or proceeding is vested exclusively in the federal courts of the United States of America, the federal court of the United States of America sitting in the District of Delaware (collectively, the “Chosen Courts”), and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Chosen Courts and any appellate court from any thereof, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Chosen Courts and any appellate court from any thereof, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the jurisdiction or laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(b)            EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE MERGER AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.8(b).

11.9            Specific Performance. The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the other(s) (as applicable), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other(s) (as applicable) under this Agreement. The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by such party (or parties), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party (or parties) under this Agreement.

11.10            Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

11.11            No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other document, instrument or other agreement contemplated by or referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) no Person other than the parties hereto has any obligations under this Agreement; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Stockholder Representative’s obligations under this Agreement are solely with respect to the provisions hereof that apply to the Stockholder Representative, (b) except claims for Fraud, this Agreement may be enforced only against, and any claims, obligations, liabilities or other causes of action (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out or by reason of, or related in any manner to a breach of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in this Agreement), or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement, by the Company may be made only against the Company, and (c) except claims for Fraud, none of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, their respective Affiliates or their respective Affiliates’ directors or officers have a right of recovery for any claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out or by reason of, or related in any manner to a breach of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in this Agreement), or the negotiation, execution, or performance of this Agreement, against, and except for claims against the Person for Fraud, no liability shall attach to, any of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ respective current, former or future equity holders, incorporators, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners or Representatives (or any successors, predecessors or assigns of the foregoing) (each, a “Non-Party Affiliate”), including any right of recovery in respect of this Agreement against any Non-Party Affiliate that may be granted by statute or based on theories of equity, agency, control, instrumentality, alter ego, domination, sham, single business enterprise, piercing the corporate veil, unfairness, undercapitalization or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, this Section 11.11 shall not apply to Section 11.5, which shall be enforceable by the Stockholder Representative in its entirety against the Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or otherwise, no party may seek to rescind this Section 11.11 after the Closing.

11.12            No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 5.9 (Third Party Beneficiaries), Section 7.6 (Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance), Section 11.5 (Stockholder Representative) and Section 11.6 (Attorney Client Matters), Parent and the Company hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 11.3 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 hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date hereof or as of any other date.

11.13            Obligations of Parent and the Company. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires any 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 any such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Corporation to cause any such Subsidiary to take such action.

11.14            Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including fees and expenses of financial advisors, financial sponsors, legal counsel and other advisors, shall be paid by the party incurring such expenses whether or not the Merger is consummated.

11.15            Transfer Taxes. Except to the extent constituting Uruguayan Reorganization Costs, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the Merger shall be paid by Parent and Merger Sub when due, and Parent and Merger Sub will indemnify the Company against liability for any such Taxes.

11.16            Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such 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 invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

11.17            Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by any party hereto, except, in the case of Parent or Merger Sub: (a) prior to the Effective Time, with the consent of the Company, (b) after the Effective Time, to one of Parent’s Affiliates or otherwise with the consent of the Stockholder Representative, (c) after the Effective Time, in connection with the sale of substantially all of the assets of Parent or substantially all of the assets associated with one or more of Parent’s business lines or divisions, (d) after the Effective Time, as a collateral assignment to Parent’s financing sources, or (e) prior to the Closing, by written notice to the Company, to another wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiary to be a constituent corporation in the Merger in lieu of Merger Sub, in which event all references herein to Merger Sub shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary, except that all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided that any such designation shall not materially impede or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise materially impede the rights of the Stockholders of the Company under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void.

11.18            Guarantee.

(a)            The Ultimate Parent Entity agrees to take all action necessary to cause Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to perform all of their respective agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement on a timely basis. The Ultimate Parent Entity does hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to the Company the full, complete and prompt performance and payment, as the case may be, of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined), and undertakes with the Company that, whenever Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation does not pay or perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with their respective terms, the Ultimate Parent Entity shall, immediately on demand by the Company, pay or perform such Guaranteed Obligations as if the Ultimate Parent Entity were the principal obligor primarily liable for the performance thereof and not as a mere surety. The Company may obtain recourse against the Ultimate Parent Entity for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations prior to, concurrently with, or after any other Legal Proceeding to enforce such Guaranteed Obligations. In no event shall the Company be deemed to have elected any remedy that precludes or impairs its ability to proceed against the Ultimate Parent Entity hereunder. The Ultimate Parent Entity hereby waives protest, presentment, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the Ultimate Parent Entity may not assign or transfer its obligations hereunder to any other Person without the prior written consent of the Company. The Ultimate Parent Entity shall be entitled to perform or satisfy the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the same terms and conditions and subject to the same rights and limitations as are applicable to Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, under this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Guaranteed Obligations” means any and all obligations of Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Corporation to the extent such obligations arise under this Agreement. Immediately following the making of the payments required by Section 3.2 and Section 5.3, the provisions of this Section 11.18 shall automatically terminate and the Ultimate Parent Entity shall have no further obligation hereunder.

(b)            The Ultimate Parent Entity is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Ultimate Parent Entity has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Ultimate Parent Entity and is a valid and binding agreement of the Ultimate Parent Entity, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). The Ultimate Parent Entity hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6.2(c) with respect to itself. The Ultimate Parent Entity owns directly one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Parent.
