 no event shall a
Party be required to pay the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(e) Each Party acknowledges
and agrees that the agreements contained in this are integral parts of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, such Party would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party further acknowledges and
agrees that payment of the Company Termination Fee and Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, if, as and when required pursuant to this , shall not constitute a penalty but rather will constitute liquidated
damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Party receiving such amount in the circumstances in which it is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on
this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. Accordingly, (i) if Parent fails to pay the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to
when due, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Company commences a Claim that results in a Judgment against Parent for the Parent Termination Fee, Parent shall pay to the Company, together with the
Parent Termination Fee, the Company’s costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Claim, and interest on the Parent Termination Fee for the period commencing as of the date such
payment was required to be made and ending on the date such payment is actually paid to the Company at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect on the date such payment was required to be made, or (ii) if the Company fails to pay the
Company Termination Fee pursuant to when due, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a Claim that results in a Judgment against the Company for the Company Termination Fee, the Company shall
pay to Parent, together with the Company Termination Fee, Parent’s costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Claim, and interest on the Company Termination Fee for the period
commencing as of the date such payment was required to be made and ending on the date such payment is actually paid to Parent at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.
