 WELLS FARGO & COMPANY 
 MEDIUM-TERM NOTE, SERIES K 
 Due Nine Months or More From Date of Issue

 Notes Linked to 3 Month LIBOR due March 6, 2023 

WELLS FARGO & COMPANY, a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the
“Company,” which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & Co., or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                                         
                DOLLARS ($                ) on March 6, 2023 (the
“Stated Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon from March 6, 2013 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for quarterly on each March 6, June 6,
September 6 and December 6, commencing June 6, 2013 and ending at Maturity (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), at the rate per annum specified below until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment.
The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close
of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest next preceding such Interest Payment Date. The Regular Record Date for an Interest Payment Date shall be one Business Day prior to such Interest Payment Date. If an Interest Payment Date is
not a Business Day, interest on this Security shall be payable on the next day that is a Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date, and without any interest or other payment with respect to the delay.
“Business Day” shall mean a day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, (i) that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law or regulation to close in New York, New York and
(ii) that is also a London Banking Day (as defined below). 
 Except as described below for the first Interest Period, on
each Interest Payment Date, interest will be paid for the period commencing on and including the immediately preceding 

 
Interest Payment Date and ending on and including the day immediately preceding that Interest Payment Date. This period is referred to as an “Interest Period.” The first Interest
Period will commence on and include March 6, 2013 and end on and include June 5, 2013. Interest on this Security will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 

The interest rate on this Security that will apply during the first eight Interest Periods (up to and including the Interest Period
ending March 5, 2015) will be equal to 2.80% per annum. For all Interest Periods commencing on or after March 6, 2015, the interest rate on this Security will be determined by the calculation agent for this Security (the
“Calculation Agent”) and will be equal to 3 month LIBOR on the Determination Date for such Interest Period plus 0.50%, subject to the Maximum Interest Rate. 

The “Determination Date” for an Interest Period commencing on or after March 6, 2015 will be two London Banking
Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period. A “London Banking Day” is any day on which commercial banks and foreign exchange markets settle payments in London. 

“3 month LIBOR” means, for any Determination Date, the arithmetic mean of the offered rates for deposits in U.S. dollars
having a 3 month maturity, commencing on the second London Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date that appear on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Determination Date, if at least two
offered rates appear on the Designated LIBOR Page, provided that if the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, that single rate will be used. The “Designated LIBOR Page” means the display on Reuters, or
any successor service, on page LIBOR01, or any other page as may replace that page on that service, for the purpose of displaying the London Interbank rates for U.S. dollars. 
 If (i) fewer than two offered rates appear or (ii) no rate appears and the Designated LIBOR Page by its terms provides only for a single rate, then the Calculation Agent will request the
principal London offices of each of four major banks in the London Interbank market, as selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide the Calculation Agent with its offered quotation for deposits in U.S. dollars for a 3 month period commencing on
the second London Banking Day immediately following that Determination Date to prime banks in the London Interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on that Determination Date and in a principal amount that is representative of a
single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, 3 month LIBOR determined on that Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of those quotations. 

If fewer than two quotations are provided, 3 month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m.
in New York, New York on that Determination Date by three major banks in New York, New York selected by the Calculation Agent for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks, having a 3 month maturity and in a principal amount that is
representative of a single transaction in U.S. dollars in that market at that time. 

  
 2 

 If the banks so selected by the Calculation Agent are not quoting as set forth above, 3
month LIBOR on such Determination Date will be determined by the Calculation Agent in a commercially reasonable manner. 
 The
“Maximum Interest Rate” is 9.25% per annum. 
 The Calculation Agent shall, upon the request of a Holder
of this Security, provide the interest rate then in effect and, if determined, the interest rate that will become effective for the next Interest Period. All calculations of the Calculation Agent, in the absence of manifest error, shall be
conclusive for all purposes and binding on the Company and the Holder hereof. The Calculation Agent shall notify the Paying Agent of each determination of the interest applicable to this Security promptly after the determination is made. Wells Fargo
Securities, LLC will initially act as Calculation Agent. The Company may appoint a successor Calculation Agent with the written consent of the Trustee. 
 Any interest not punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as
may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. 
 Payment of interest on this Security will be
made in immediately available funds at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be paid by check mailed to the Person entitled thereto at such Person’s last address as it appears in the Security Register or
by wire transfer to such account as may have been designated by such Person. Payment of principal of and interest on this Security at Maturity will be made against presentation of this Security at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in the City of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as this Security is a Global Security registered in the name of the Depositary, payments of principal and interest on this Security will be made to the
Depositary by wire transfer of immediately available funds. 
 This Security is not subject to redemption at the option of the
Company or repayment at the option of the Holder hereof prior to March 6, 2023. This Security is not entitled to any sinking fund. 
  

 
 Reference is
hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 

  
 3 

 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to
on the reverse hereof by manual signature or its duly authorized agent under the Indenture referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for
any purpose.

 Exhibit 10.1 

EXECUTION VERSION 
 VOTING AGREEMENT 
 This VOTING AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), is dated as of March 6, 2013, by and among Encore Capital Group, Inc. (“Parent”) and the stockholder of Asset Acceptance Capital Corp. (the “Company”) listed on the signature page
hereto (the “Stockholder”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof. 

W I T N E S S E T H: 
 WHEREAS, Parent, Pinnacle Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
March 6, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with
the Company surviving the Merger. 
 WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the
number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth on Exhibit A hereto (together with such additional shares of Company Common Stock which become beneficially owned (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) by the
Stockholder, whether upon the exercise of options, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise, after the date hereof, but excluding any shares sold or transferred on or after the date hereof in compliance with Section 4.1 or
Section 4.4, the “Owned Shares”), which shares set forth on Exhibit A collectively represent approximately 35.6% of the voting power of the outstanding Company Common Stock. 

WHEREAS, as a condition to Parent’s willingness to enter into and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, Parent has
required that the Stockholder agree, and the Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration given to each party hereto, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 

1. Agreement to Vote; Agreement for Cash Election. 
 1.1 Agreement to Vote. The Stockholder hereby agrees that, from the date hereof until the earlier of (i) the time that the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained and
(ii) termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby is to be voted
upon, however called, or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the Stockholder shall be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), to the extent entitled to vote thereon, all of its Owned Shares at such time (a) in
favor of (i) approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated 

 
thereby and (ii) any proposal to adjourn or postpone any meeting of the stockholders of the Company to a later date if there are not sufficient votes to approve the adoption of the Merger
Agreement on the date on which such meeting is held and (b) against (A) any Takeover Proposal, (B) any merger agreement or merger (other than the Merger Agreement), consolidation, combination, business transaction, sale of assets,
reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, and (C) any amendment of the Company’s organizational documents that, in the case of (B) or (C), would reasonably be expected to impair the
ability of Parent or Merger Sub to complete the Merger, or that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede, interfere with, delay, or inhibit the timely consummation of the Merger or the fulfillment of Parent’s, the Company’s or
Merger Sub’s conditions under the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Section 1.1 shall not require any Stockholder to be present (in person or by proxy) or vote (or cause to be voted) any of its
Owned Shares to amend the Merger Agreement or take any action that could result in the amendment or modification, or a waiver of a provision therein, in any such case, in a manner that (x) decreases the amount or changes the form of the
consideration or imposes any restrictions or additional conditions on the receipt of the consideration to the stockholders of the Company or (y) is otherwise materially adverse to the Stockholder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, in the event there is a Company Adverse Recommendation Change due to an Intervening Event, the Stockholder shall vote the Owned Shares for and against approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement in the same proportion as the shares of
Company Common Stock owned by Persons other than the Stockholders vote such shares at the Company Stockholders Meeting. 
 1.2
Agreement for Cash Election. The Stockholder hereby agrees to make a Cash Election pursuant to the Merger Agreement for the entirety of the Owned Shares. 
 1.3 Other Voting Rights. Except as permitted by this Agreement, the Stockholder will continue to hold and shall have the right to exercise all voting rights related to the Stockholder’s Owned
Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly set forth in Section 1.1, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of the Stockholder to vote in favor of, against, or abstain with respect to any matter presented to the
Company’s stockholders not in connection with a Takeover Proposal proposed by such third party. 
 2. Representations
and Warranties of Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting as follows: 

2.1 Power; Due Authorization; Binding Agreement. The Stockholder is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. The Stockholder has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or other applicable action on the part of the Stockholder, and
no other proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, assuming the
due and valid authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms,

  
 - 2 -

 
except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to
creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
may be brought. 
 2.2 Ownership of Shares. On the date hereof, the Owned Shares set forth opposite the
Stockholder’s name on Exhibit A hereto are owned of record and beneficially by the Stockholder. Other than restrictions in favor of Parent pursuant to this Agreement and except for such transfer restrictions of general applicability as
may be provided under the Securities Act or the “blue sky” Laws of the various states of the United States, as of the date hereof the Stockholder has, and at any stockholder meeting of the Company held during the term of this Agreement to
vote regarding approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder will have (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, including in connection with the permitted Transfer of any Owned Shares), sole voting power and sole
dispositive power with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1.1 in respect of all of the then Owned Shares of the Stockholder. There are no options, warrants or other rights, agreements, arrangements or commitments of any
character to which the Stockholder is a party relating to the pledge, disposition or voting of any of the Owned Shares and there are no voting trusts, proxies or voting agreements with respect to the Owned Shares. Except as set forth on Exhibit
A, the Stockholder does not beneficially own any shares of Company Common Stock, or any options, warrants or other rights to acquire any additional shares of Company Common Stock or any security exercisable for or convertible into shares of
Company Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent agrees that any shares, shares subject to options, restricted stock units and deferred stock units owned or held by Mt. T. Daniels and Mr. A. Ignaczak are not Owned Shares and are not
subject to this Agreement. 
 2.3 No Conflict; Consents. None of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Stockholder, the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby or compliance by the Stockholder with any of the provisions hereof will conflict with or result in a breach, or constitute a default (with or without notice of
lapse of time or both), under any provision of any organizational document, trust agreement, loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement, instrument or Law applicable to the Stockholder or to the
Stockholder’s property or assets (including the Owned Shares), in each case, except for any conflict, breach or default that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or otherwise impair the ability of the Stockholder to
perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person on the part of the Stockholder
is required in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, except for any of the foregoing that would not reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or otherwise impair the ability of the Stockholder
to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 2.4. No Litigation. There
is no suit, action, proceeding, judgment, order, decree, ruling, charge, or settlement pending or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder’s properties or assets (including the Owned
Shares) that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay or otherwise impair the 

  
 - 3 -

 
ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 
 2.5 Acknowledgment. The Stockholder has had the opportunity to review the Merger Agreement and this Agreement with counsel of the Stockholder’s own choosing. The Stockholder understands and
acknowledges that the Merger Agreement governs the terms of the Merger and the other matters specified therein. The Stockholder understands, acknowledges and agrees that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon the
Stockholder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. 
 3. Representations and Warranties of Parent.
Parent hereby represents and warrants to the Stockholder that Parent has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Parent, and no other proceedings on the part
of Parent are necessary to authorize this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Parent and, assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and
delivery hereof by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws, now or hereafter in effect, relating to creditors’ rights generally and (ii) equitable remedies of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to
equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought. 
 4. Certain
Covenants of the Stockholder. 
 4.1 Restriction on Transfer, Proxies and Non-Interference. The Stockholder hereby
agrees, except as permitted by Section 4.4, from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.1, not to (a) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or
enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, or limitation on the voting rights of, any of the Owned Shares of the Stockholder (any
such action, a “Transfer”), other than to an Affiliate of the Stockholder if, as a precondition to such Transfer, such Affiliate agrees in a writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by all of the
terms of this Agreement, (b) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the Owned Shares of the Stockholder, deposit any such Owned Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any such Owned Shares,
in each case with respect to any vote on the approval and adoption of the Merger Agreement or any other matters set forth in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, or (c) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions during the term
of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Owned Shares shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by a Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the
transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, take and hold such Owned Shares subject to all of the restrictions,
liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until the valid termination of this Agreement. Any attempted Transfer of Owned Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 4.1
shall be null and void.

that the Stockholder may have to dissent from the Merger and (b) agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of, any class in any class action with respect to any claim, derivative or otherwise,
against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors (i) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (ii) alleging breach of any fiduciary duty of any
Person in connection with the negotiation and entry into the Merger Agreement. 
 4.6 No Solicitation. The Stockholder
(solely in its capacity as such) agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, the Stockholder will not, and will cause its directors, officers and employees, not to, and will instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause its other
Affiliates, and its and their Representatives, not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate the making, submission or consummation of any Takeover Proposal or (ii) enter into, or
otherwise participate in any discussions (except to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 4.6) or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any non-public information in connection with, any
Takeover Proposal, or (iii) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement or other similar agreement with any person relating to an Takeover Proposal; provided that the foregoing shall not restrict the
Stockholder from taking any of the foregoing actions specified in clauses (i)

Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.6 will limit or affect any actions or omissions taken by any of Stockholder’s Representatives in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company, including in
exercising rights under the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, under Section 5.3 thereof), and no such actions or omissions shall be deemed a breach of this Section 4.6. 

4.7. Additional Shares. The Stockholder agrees that all shares of Company Common Stock that Stockholder purchases, acquires the
right to vote or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of after the execution of this Agreement shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and shall constitute Owned Shares for all purposes of
this Agreement. The Stockholder shall notify Parent promptly in writing of any additional shares of Company Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder. 
 4.8. Documentation and Information. The Stockholder consents to and hereby authorizes Parent, Merger Sub and the Company to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC,
and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent, Merger Sub or the Company determines to be necessary in connection with the Merger and any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder’s identity and
ownership of the Owned Shares, the existence of this Agreement and the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement, and the Stockholder acknowledges that Parent, Merger Sub and the Company may, in their sole
discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Authority.

 5.6 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. 
 (a) This Agreement and
all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the Laws of any
other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of Laws principles of the State of Delaware. 
 (b) Each of
the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party against any other party shall be brought and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware;
provided that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any such 

  
 - 8 -

 
legal action or proceeding may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for
itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the parties agrees not to commence
any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware. Each of the
parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and
agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject
to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in any such court (whether through service
of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the
venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by any such court. 
 (c) EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 5.6(c). 

5.7 Specific Performance; Exclusive Remedy. The parties agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of any
covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the parties would be irreparably harmed and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to
seek and obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each of the parties further agrees
that (i) no party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 5.7, and each party irrevocably waives any right
it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument, and (ii) it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other party has
an adequate remedy at law. Parent hereby agrees that specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be its sole and exclusive remedy with respect to breaches or threatened breaches by any Stockholder in
connection with this Agreement, and neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates may pursue or accept any other form of relief (including monetary damages) that may be available for breach of this Agreement. 

5.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same
instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to 

  
 - 9 -

 
the other parties. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or electronic transmission signature and a facsimile or electronic transmission signature shall constitute an original for all
purposes. 
 5.9 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of reference
only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 
 5.10
Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or
enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties
hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and
enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior
sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or
unenforceable term. 
 5.11 Non-Recourse. 
 (a) No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, trustee, beneficiary, settlor, agent, attorney, representative or affiliate of any party hereto or
of any of their respective affiliates shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort) for any obligations or liabilities of such party arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of,
or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.11 shall limit any liability of the parties hereto for breaches of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 (b) Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Stockholder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the
parties as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the obligations or the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. 
 5.12 Fees and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by
the party incurring such expenses.

and Parent shall have no authority to direct the Stockholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Owned Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.
