However, subject to certain exceptions in the merger agreement, in no event will either Compass or Anywhere or any of their respective affiliates be required to pay any consideration to any third parties or give anything of value to obtain any such person’s authorization, approval, consent or waiver to effectuate the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, other than filing, recordation or similar fees.
