and used on the date hereof (collectively, the “Permits”) except where the failure to hold such Permit, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Group
Companies, taken as a whole. 
 (b)    Except as set forth in Section 4.13(b) of the
Disclosure Schedule or as would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Group Companies, taken as a whole, (i) all of the Permits are valid and in full force and effect, (ii) none of the Group

(a)    Section 4.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule contains a complete and correct list of each
Material Contract in force or under which any Group Company has material continuing obligations as of the date hereof. A “Material Contract” is any contract (other than Insurance Contracts and any contracts that relate to the
acquisition, disposition or custody of investment assets in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice) to which any Group Company is a party or is otherwise bound or obligated, in each case, that: 

(i)    contains covenants limiting the ability of any Group Company in any material respect to engage in
any line of business or to compete with any Person that would purport to apply to the Buyer or its Affiliates following the Closing; 

  
 19 


  













 (ii)    contains any material restriction on the ability
of any Group Company or any of their Affiliates to solicit specified customers or prospective customers for the purchase, renewal, lapse, surrender or annuitization of Insurance Contracts or to alter or change the terms, features, benefits,
elections or options under the Insurance Contracts, in each case that would purport to apply to the Buyer or its Affiliates following the Closing;

Contract, and, to the Knowledge of the Issuer, there does not exist any event, condition or omission that would constitute such a material breach or material default (whether by lapse of time or notice or both). None of the Group Companies or, to
the Knowledge of the Issuer, any other party to a material outbound reinsurance agreement to which a Group Company is party, is in material default or material breach or has failed to perform any material obligation under such a material outbound
reinsurance agreement.

reasonable access to all books, records, personnel, officers and other facilities and properties of the Issuer and the other Group Companies; provided that any such access shall be conducted at the Buyer’s expense, in
accordance with applicable Law (including any applicable Law relating to antitrust, competition, employment or privacy issues), under the supervision of the Issuer’s or its Affiliates’ personnel and in such a manner as to maintain
confidentiality and not to unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of the Issuer and its Affiliates.

(ii) any Tax Return filed by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates or predecessors, or any related material or (iii) any other information if the Issuer determines, in its reasonable judgment, that making such other information

understood that the Issuer shall and shall cause the other Group Companies to (x) cooperate with any requests for, and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any, waivers and (y) use their reasonable best efforts to make
other arrangements (including redacting information or entering into joint defense agreements), in each case, that would enable any otherwise required disclosure to the Buyer, its Affiliates or their Representatives to occur without so jeopardizing
any such privilege or immunity or contravening such applicable Law, Governmental Order or fiduciary duty. 

Section 6.03    Reasonable Best Efforts; Consents. 

(a)    Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Issuer and the Buyer agrees to

(iii) prevent the entry of, and have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned, any Governmental Order that would prevent, prohibit, restrict or delay the consummation of the Closing or any other transaction contemplated hereby;

divest, discontinue or limit, before or after the Closing Date, any assets, businesses or interest in any of their respective assets or businesses; provided, further, that the inclusion of a reference to any action in this sentence
shall not imply that reasonable best efforts would require a party to take such action. 
 (c)    The Buyer shall not,
and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), acquire, purchase, lease or license (or agree to acquire, purchase, lease or license) any business, corporation, partnership, association
or other business organization or division or part thereof, or any securities or collection of assets for forty-five (45) days following the date hereof, if doing so would reasonably be expected to impose any material delay in securing the
expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act. 
 (d)    In furtherance and without
limiting the foregoing, (i) each of the Issuer (or its applicable Affiliate) and the Buyer shall file a notification and report form pursuant to the HSR Act with the Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the United

indirect investors, partners, members, shareholders or “Ultimate Parent Entities” (as that term is defined in the HSR Act)), or its or their structure, ownership, businesses, operations, regulatory and legal compliance, assets,
liabilities, financing, financial condition or results of operations, or any of its or their directors, officers, employees, or direct or indirect partners, members or shareholders.

another with respect to the obtaining of all Governmental Approvals necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this 

  
 26 


  













 
Agreement and each of them shall keep the others apprised on a prompt basis of the status of matters relating to such Governmental Approvals. The Issuer and the Buyer shall have the right to
review in advance, subject to redaction of personally identifiable information or confidential, competitive information, and, to the extent practicable, and subject to any restrictions under applicable Law each shall consult the other on, any filing
made with, or written materials submitted to, any Governmental Authority or any third party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and each party agrees to in good faith consider and reasonably accept comments of the

 (f)    The Issuer and the Buyer shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after
receipt) advise each other upon receiving any communication from any Governmental Authority whose Governmental Approval is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the extent such communication reasonably
relates to such required Governmental Approval, including promptly furnishing each other copies of any written or electronic communications, and shall promptly advise each other when any such communication causes such party to believe that there is
a reasonable likelihood that any such consent or Governmental Approval will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such Governmental Approval will be materially delayed or conditioned. 

(g)    Neither the Issuer nor the Buyer shall, and they shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, permit any of
their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, members, shareholders or any other Representatives to participate in any live or telephonic meeting (other than non-substantive scheduling or
administrative calls) with any Governmental Authority required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other in advance and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and by such
Governmental Authority, gives the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting. 

(h)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Group Company or any of their
Affiliates or the Buyer or any of its Affiliates be required to agree to take or enter into any action which would be required to be taken in the event that the Closing does not occur. 

(i)    Prior to the Closing, except as otherwise agreed by the parties, each party shall cooperate with the other and use
reasonable best efforts to make or obtain the Third-Party Consents set forth in Schedule 6.03(i); provided that neither party shall be required to compromise any
right, asset or benefit or expend any amount or incur any Liabilities, make any accommodations, commence or participate in any Action or provide any other consideration in order to obtain any such Third-Party
Consent. 
 (j)    The Buyer’s or the Issuer’s breach of any of their respective obligations in this
Section 6.03 that contributes in any material way to a failure of the Closing to occur shall constitute a willful breach of this Agreement. 

  
 27 


  













 Section 6.04    Closing Deliverables. Each of the Issuer and
the Buyer shall, and each shall cause its applicable Affiliates to, enter into each of the Transaction Agreements at the Closing, in each case in substantially the form attached as an Exhibit to this Agreement. 

Section 6.05    Restructuring. In the event that the waiting period under the HSR Act has expired or been
terminated, but the parties are awaiting any approval or non-disapproval under applicable insurance Laws, then the Issuer may, within ten (10) Business Days following such expiration or termination, elect
to cause the Closing to occur with respect only to Common Shares representing less than ten percent (10%) of both voting and economic rights in the Issuer. The parties will cooperate to make all changes necessary to the Purchase Price and the
Transaction Agreements in order to reflect a Closing with respect to such smaller number of Common Shares (the “Initial Closing”) as promptly as reasonably practicable. Within five (5) Business Days following such Initial
Closing, the Issuer will have the right to elect to proceed with a second closing on the remainder of the Purchased Shares for the remainder of the Purchase Price, as promptly as reasonably practicable, after receipt of any remaining insurance
regulatory approvals or non-disapprovals and subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.

contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive in full force and effect until the earlier of (x) the consummation of an IPO and (y) the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, at which
time they shall terminate (and no claims shall be made for indemnification under Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 thereafter), except: (i) the Fundamental Representations shall survive in

(a)    After the Closing and subject to this Article IX, the Issuer shall indemnify, defend and
hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees against, and reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for, all Losses that the Buyer Indemnitees may at any time suffer or incur, or become subject to: 

        (i)    as a result of or in connection with the breach or
inaccuracy of any representation or warranty set forth in Article IV (other than a Fundamental Representation); 

        (ii)    as a result of or in connection with the breach or
inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation; or 

        (iii)    as a result of or in connection with any breach or
failure by the Issuer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement. 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Issuer shall not be required to indemnify, defend or
hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees against, or reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for, any Losses pursuant to Section 9.02(a)(i): (i) with respect to any claim (or series of related claims arising from similar
underlying facts, events or circumstances) unless such claim (or series of related claims) involves Losses in excess of $150,000 (nor shall any such claim or series of related claims that does not meet such $150,000 threshold be applied to or
considered for purposes of calculating the aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnitees’ Losses for which the Issuer has responsibility under clause (ii) of Section 9.02(b) below); (ii) until the
aggregate amount of the Buyer Indemnitees’ Losses under Section 9.02(a)(i) exceeds $7,500,000, after which the Issuer shall be obligated for all the Buyer 

  
 32 


  













 
Indemnitee’s Losses under Section 9.02(a)(i) that are in excess of $7,500,000, but only if such excess Losses arise with respect to any claim (or series of related
claims) that involves Losses in excess of $150,000; and (iii) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding $50,000,000. For purposes of determining whether the threshold set forth in clause (iii) of this

(c)    The Issuer shall not be required to indemnify, defend or hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees against, or reimburse
the Buyer Indemnitees for, any Losses pursuant to Section 9.02(a) in a cumulative aggregate amount exceeding the Purchase Price. 

(d)    If, prior to the date hereof, the Buyer has Knowledge of any breach by the Issuer of any representation or warranty

assert any other right or remedy arising from any matters relating to such breach, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein. 

Section 9.03    Indemnification by the Buyer. After the Closing and subject to this
Article IX, the Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer Indemnitees against, and reimburse the Issuer Indemnitees for, all Losses that the Issuer Indemnitees may at any time suffer or incur, or become

         (i)    as a result of or in connection

        (ii)    as a result of or in connection with any breach or
failure by the Buyer to perform any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement. 

Section 9.04    Claims Procedure. 

(a)    Notification by the Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, matter or
circumstance that may give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall (at its own expense) promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of any claim in respect of which
indemnity may be sought under this Article IX, including any pending or threatened claim or demand against the Indemnified Party by a third party that the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could reasonably give
rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Party, a “Third Party Claim”), setting out the details of the claim, the
provisions under this Agreement on which such claim is based, its estimate of the amount of Losses to the extent ascertainable which are, or are to be, the subject of the claim and such other information (to the extent reasonably available) as is
reasonably necessary to enable the Indemnifying Party to assess the merits of the potential claim; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under
this Article IX or otherwise affect the rights of any Indemnified Party except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. The parties agree that (i) in this
Article IX they intend to shorten, in the case of the 

  
 33 


  













 
limited survival periods specified in Section 9.01, the applicable statute of limitations period with respect to certain indemnification claims hereunder,
(ii) notices for claims for indemnification in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period specified in
Section 9.01 for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement and (iii) any claims for indemnification for which notice is not delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set
forth in Section 9.01 shall be expressly barred and are hereby waived; provided, further, that if, prior to such applicable date, a party hereto shall have notified the other party hereto in accordance with
the requirements of this Section 9.04(a) of a claim for indemnification under this Article IX (whether or not formal legal action shall have been commenced based upon such claim), such claim shall
continue to be subject to indemnification in accordance with this Article IX notwithstanding the passing of such applicable date. 

(b)    Cooperation by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with and assist the
Indemnifying Party in determining the validity of any claim for indemnity by the Indemnified Party and in defending against a Third Party Claim. 

(c)    The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any
Third Party Claim or demand for which it is seeking indemnification from the Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such Third Party Claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article IX, no Indemnifying Party shall have any liability under this Article IX for
any Losses arising out of or in connection with any Third Party Claim that is settled or compromised by an Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnifying Party. 

(d)    Assumption of Defense of a Third Party Claim. Upon receipt of a notice of a claim for indemnity from an
Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.04(a) in respect of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnified Party delivered within thirty (30) Business Days of the receipt of notice of
such Third Party Claim, assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim, with its own counsel and at its own expense, but shall allow the Indemnified Party to have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense of such Third Party
Claim with its own counsel and at its own expense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party (A) for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has not assumed the
defense of a Third Party Claim and (B) in connection with any claim where, based on the advice of outside counsel, a conflict in interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party exists. The Indemnifying Party shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), consent to a settlement, compromise or discharge of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claim,
unless such settlement, compromise, discharge or entry of any judgment provides only for the payment of monetary damages (and does not impose any injunctive relief or otherwise impose any conditions or restrictions on the Indemnified Party) and does
not involve any finding or admission of any violation of Law or rights of any Person, admission of any wrongdoing, fault or culpability by the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall obtain, as a condition of any settlement, compromise,
discharge, entry of judgment (if applicable), or other resolution, a complete and unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from any and all liabilities in 

  
 34 


  













 
respect of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party is controlling a defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article IX and fails to
defend diligently the action or proceeding after notifying the Indemnified Party of its assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may assume such defense, and the reasonable and documented fees of its attorneys will
be covered by the indemnity provided for in this Article IX upon determination of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnity obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.04,
the Indemnified Party (and not the Indemnifying Party) shall have the exclusive right to assume the defense and control of any Third Party Claim if (A) the Indemnified Party in good faith determines that the nature of the Third Party
Claim is such that it would reasonably be expected to involve criminal liability being imposed on any Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or (B) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against any Indemnified
Party; provided that if such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party that can be separated from a related claim for money damages, the Indemnifying Party may only be entitled to assume control
of the defense of such Third Party Claim for money damages. 
 (e)    In the event any Indemnifying Party receives a
notice of a claim for indemnity from an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.04(a) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) Business
Days following its receipt of such notice whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article IX. 

Section 9.05    Payment. In the event a claim for indemnification under this
Article IX has been finally determined, the amount of such final determination shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party on demand in immediately available funds. Any claim, action, suit, arbitration
or proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority or arbitral body, and the liability for and amount of damages therefor, shall be deemed to be “finally determined” for purposes of this Article IX when the
parties hereto have so determined by mutual agreement or, if disputed, when a final non-appealable Governmental Order has been entered into with respect to such claim, action, suit, arbitration or proceeding.

 Section 9.06    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable
Law, for all purposes (including Tax purposes), the parties hereto shall treat any payment made under Section 9.02 or Section 9.03 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price. 

Section 9.07    Provisions. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable under this
Article IX in respect of any Loss, if the fact, matter, event or circumstance giving rise to the claim or on which it is based is expressly accrued or reserved for in the Financial Statements. 

Section 9.08    Exclusive Remedies. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, other than in the case of
actual fraud by a party to this Agreement in the making of a representation or warranty herein or willful breach by any party hereto, (a) prior to the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer for any breach of any
representation or warranty set forth in Article IV shall be, in the event that each of the conditions set forth in Section 8.03 has not been satisfied or waived, refusal to close the purchase and
sale of the Purchased Shares and termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article X; (b) following the Closing, (i) the 

  
 35 


  













 
indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the parties hereto for any breach of the representations or warranties
contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered hereunder and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein shall
give rise to any right on the part of any party hereto to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (c) following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Article IX
shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of the parties hereto for any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant. 

Section 9.09    Damages. The Issuer and the Buyer agree that with respect to each indemnification obligation
set forth in this Article IX or any other document, instrument or certificate executed or delivered in connection with the Closing, in no event shall an Indemnifying Party have any liability to an Indemnified Party for:
(a) any punitive damages except to the extent paid to a third party and (b) special, consequential or indirect damages, in each case, to the extent not the reasonably foreseeable result of any breach by the Indemnifying Party
of a representation and warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement. For purposes of determining whether a breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement has occurred, and for calculating the amount of any Loss under this
Article IX, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall be read without regard to any “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect,” “Buyer Material Adverse Effect” or other
similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty, other than the representation and warranty in Section 4.07(b). 

Section 9.10    Right to Recover. 

(a)    If the Indemnifying Party is liable to pay an amount in discharge of any claim under this Agreement and the
Indemnified Party recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Indemnified Party (in whole or in part) in respect of the
Losses which is the subject matter of the claim, then the Indemnified Party shall take such actions (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense) as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party to enforce recovery against the
third party and any actual recovery (less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery) shall reduce or satisfy, as the case may be, such claim to the extent of such recovery. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party shall be
required to act or forbear to act under this Section 9.10 if such act or forbearance, as applicable, could prejudice such Person’s ability to prosecute a claim against the Indemnifying Party or any right hereunder in
the reasonable judgment of such party, as applicable. 
 (b)    If an Indemnifying Party has paid an amount in discharge
of any claim under this Agreement and the Indemnified Party recovers or is entitled to recover (whether by payment, discount, credit, relief, insurance or otherwise) from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates the Indemnified Party (in
whole or in part) in respect of the Loss which is the subject matter of the claim, then the Indemnified Party shall take such actions (at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense) as may be reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party
to enforce such recovery and shall, or shall procure that the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party, as soon as practicable after receipt an amount equal to (i) any sum recovered from the third party in respect of such
claim less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery or (ii) if less, the amount previously paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party. 

  
 36 


  













 Section 9.11    Double Claims. No Indemnified Party shall be
entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party under this Article IX for the same Losses more than once (notwithstanding that such Loss may result from breaches of multiple provisions of this Agreement). 

ARTICLE X

(6) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Outside Date”) or such later date as the parties may mutually agree; provided, however, that if the Closing has not occurred due solely to the
failure of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 8.01(a) to be satisfied, the parties agree to extend the Outside Date for an additional ninety (90) days and continue to use their respective reasonable best
efforts to satisfy such Closing conditions (such extended Outside Date, as so extended, shall be the “Outside Date” for all purposes under this Agreement); provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under
this 
Section 10.01(b) shall not be available to any party whose failure to take any action required to fulfill any of such party’s obligations under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have
resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur prior to such date; 
 (c)    by either the Issuer or the Buyer in the
event of the issuance of a final, nonappealable Governmental Order from a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 

(d)    by the Buyer in the event of a breach by the Issuer of any of its covenants, representations or warranties
contained herein that would result in the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.03 not being satisfied, and such breach is either not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or, if curable, the Issuer
shall have failed to cure such breach by the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Buyer requesting such breach to be cured and (ii) the Outside Date; 

(e)    by the Issuer in the event of a breach by the Buyer of any of the Buyer’s covenants, representations or
warranties contained herein that would result in the conditions to the Closing set forth in Section 8.02 not being satisfied, and such breach is either not capable of being cured prior to the Outside Date or, if curable,
the Buyer shall have failed to cure such breach by the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the Issuer requesting such breach to be cured and (ii) the Outside Date.

Article X and Article XI; provided that nothing in this Section 10.03 shall relieve the Issuer or the Buyer from liability for (a) failure to perform
its obligations set forth in Section 6.03 or (b) the actual fraud by a party to this Agreement in the making of a representation or warranty herein, willful breach of this Agreement or willful failure to perform
its respective obligations under this Agreement.

Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release in the form agreed by the Issuer and the Buyer and attached as Schedule 11.03. Thereafter, neither party to this Agreement or any Affiliate

 39 


  













 
the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 

Section 11.05    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto), the other
Transaction Agreements and any other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto constitute the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both
written and oral (other than the Confidentiality Agreement to the extent not in conflict with this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements), between or on behalf of the Issuer and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Buyer and its Affiliates,
on the other hand, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. 
 Section 11.06    Assignment.
This Agreement shall not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that, following the Closing, the Buyer may, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, assign all or part of its

attempted assignment in violation of this Section 11.06 shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their permitted successors and
assigns. 
 Section 11.07    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in

express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. 

Section 11.08    Amendment. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified except by
a written instrument signed by all the parties hereto.

(b)    Any such Action may and shall be brought in such courts and each of the Issuer and the Buyer irrevocably and

termination or validity of any part of this Agreement shall in all respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict of laws principles.

Section 11.13    Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that
any of the covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief
to prevent or cure any breach by the other parties of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement and to specifically enforce such covenants and obligations in any court referenced in Section 11.10(a) having
jurisdiction, such remedy being in addition to any other remedy to which any party may be entitled at law or in equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event that the other parties seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches

any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized Representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to
affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any preceding or subsequent
breach.
