 effect resulting therefrom, including any loss of employees, customers or revenue to the extent arising from the identity of Parent as the acquiror of the Company (provided, that this clause (c) shall not apply to any representation or warranty to the extent such representation or warranty addresses the consequences resulting from the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of a Party’s obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement); 
 
 (d) any term, condition, obligation, requirement, limitation, prohibition, remedy, sanction or other action imposed upon Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with effecting the expiration of any waiting period (and any extension thereof) under any Antitrust Law applicable to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or obtaining from a Governmental Antitrust Entity any consent, approval, permit or authorization, in each case in accordance with and to the extent contemplated by this Agreement;
