 7. FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party shall execute and deliver
such additional instruments, documents or other writings as may be reasonably requested by the other party in order to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement. 
 8. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 8.1 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 8.2 Interpretation. Reference in this Agreement to “beneficial ownership” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 13d-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The various section headings are inserted for purposes of reference only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof. Each party hereto
acknowledges that it has been represented by competent counsel and participated in the drafting of this Agreement, and agrees that any applicable rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall
not be applied in connection with the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 8.3 Fees and Expenses. Each party
hereto shall be solely responsible for the payment of the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement, except to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
 8.4 Governing Law;
Arbitration. 
 (a) This Agreement and the documents to be entered into pursuant to it, save as expressly otherwise
provided therein, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Delaware. 
 (b) Any dispute,
controversy or claim (each, a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively and finally by a panel of three arbitrators
selected by the mutual agreement of the parties to such Dispute in an arbitration proceeding administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (“JAMS”) under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedure in effect at
the time of such proceeding, and judgment on the award rendered by such arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. If the parties to any such Dispute are unable to select such arbitrators within fifteen (15) days of
the first notice given by any party to such Dispute to the other party or parties to such Dispute requesting arbitration and the selection of such arbitrators, any party to such Dispute may request that JAMS select such arbitrators, which selection
shall be binding on the parties to such Dispute. If (i) two (2) or more Disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement are simultaneously pending, (ii) the subject matters of such Disputes involve common questions of law
or fact and (iii) the independent resolution of each such Dispute could result in conflicting decisions or obligations, such Disputes may be consolidated in a single proceeding. If more than one arbitration proceeding involving 

  

 4 







 
any such Disputes is pending, such proceedings shall, at the request of any party to such Dispute, be consolidated and settled in a single arbitration
proceeding; provided that the determination of whether such Disputes shall be consolidated shall be determined by the first panel of three arbitrators established to settle any such Dispute. If such Disputes are consolidated and more than one panel
of three arbitrators has been established to settle any of such Disputes, the parties to such Dispute shall, within twenty (20) days of such consolidation, select one panel of three arbitrators so established to settle the single consolidated
arbitration proceeding. Unless the parties to such Dispute otherwise agree to conduct any arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.4 elsewhere, such proceeding shall be conducted and any decision shall be rendered in New York,
New York or such other venue to be selected by mutual agreement of the parties to such Dispute. Expenses and costs associated with the submission of any Dispute to arbitration shall be the responsibility of the party against whom a final
decision is rendered with respect to that Dispute (provided that in the case of multiple Disputes that are consolidated into a single proceeding, the costs of such proceeding shall be borne on a Dispute-by-Dispute basis by the party against whom a
final decision is rendered with respect to each particular Dispute). The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding on the parties to the Dispute; provided, however, that (i) by agreeing to arbitration pursuant to this
Section 8.4, the parties do not intend to deprive any court with jurisdiction of its ability to issue a preliminary injunction, attachment or other form of provisional remedy in aid of the arbitration and a request for such provisional remedies
by a party to a court shall not be deemed a waiver of this agreement to arbitrate, and (ii) in addition to the authority conferred upon the tribunal by the rules specified above, the tribunal shall also have the authority to grant provisional
remedies, including, without limitation, preliminary injunctive relief. 
 8.5 Assignment; Successors and Assigns; No Third Party
Beneficiaries. Neither party shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment in derogation of the immediately foregoing sentence shall be null and void. Subject to the preceding sentences,
this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns
and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other person. 
 8.6 Entire Agreement. This
Agreement and the SA (for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that the SA and all rights and obligations of the parties therein will terminate as of the date of the Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement) constitute the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other in any manner by any representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements except as specifically set forth herein. 
 8.7 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable,
and any invalidity, unenforceability or illegality of any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall not affect any other provision or provisions of this Agreement, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be construed to be valid
and enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

 8.8 Amendment and Waiver. No amendment to this Agreement shall be effective unless in
writing and signed by or on behalf of each of the parties. No waiver under this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party against whom such waiver is to be effective. No failure to exercise and no delay
in exercising any right, power or privilege granted under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege granted under this Agreement shall preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law. 
 8.9 Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal
delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent by confirmed telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day; (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid; or (iv) two (2) days after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All
