If any Contract is added to the list of Acquired Assets pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then the applicable Seller shall take such steps as are reasonably necessary to cause such Contract to be assigned to Buyer as promptly as possible at or following the Closing.

2.6 Assignment of Certain Acquired Assets.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any Acquired Asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof, without the consent of a third party (including any Governmental Entity), would after giving effect to the Sale Order and the Bankruptcy Code, constitute a breach or other contravention thereof or a violation of Law or Order by the Bankruptcy Court, or be ineffective with respect to any party to a Contract concerning such Acquired Asset, in each case that cannot be excused or rendered ineffective by operation of the Bankruptcy Code (or the Sale Order) or applicable non-bankruptcy Law; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.6 shall modify any representation or warranty of the Sellers under this Agreement.

Until such consent is obtained, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve such Specified Asset and shall cooperate, and shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their Representatives to cooperate, with Buyer in any lawful arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the benefits of such Specified Assets at no cost to the Buyer in excess of the cost Buyer would have incurred (without modification to the terms of any Contract) if the consent had been obtained, provided, that, the Sellers shall bear no cost or expense with respect to any Specified Assets and all economic burdens associated with the Specified Assets shall be borne by Buyer. If a required consent with respect to a Specified Asset is obtained after the Closing Date, the Specified Asset subject to such consent shall be deemed to have been assigned and transferred to Buyer as of the date such Consent is effective (and all references to the Closing Date shall be deemed to be the effective date of such consent with respect to such Specified Asset). Sellers hereby irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint Buyer as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of Seller (with full power of substitution) effective as of the Closing, and hereby authorize Buyer, in the name of and on behalf of the applicable Seller, to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify, file and record any document, to institute and prosecute any Proceeding and to take any other action (on or at any time after the date of this Agreement) that Buyer may deem appropriate for the purpose of: (i) collecting, asserting, enforcing or perfecting any claim, right or interest of any kind that is included in or relates to any of the Acquired Assets; (ii) defending or compromising any Proceeding relating to any of the Acquired Assets; or (iii) otherwise carrying out or facilitating any of the Transactions. The power of attorney referred to in the preceding sentence is and shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and shall survive the dissolution or insolvency of Sellers. Upon obtaining any such consent applicable to such Acquired Asset after the Closing, such Acquired Asset shall promptly be transferred and assigned to Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) If prior to or following Closing, it is discovered that a Contract was not previously provided to Buyer and, accordingly, such Contract is not listed on Schedule 4.9(a) (any such Contract, a “Sellers’ Previously Omitted Contract”), Sellers shall, promptly following the discovery thereof, notify Buyer in writing of such Sellers’ Previously Omitted Contract. Buyer shall thereafter deliver written notice to Sellers, no later than ten (10) Business Days following notification of such Sellers’ Previously Omitted Contract from Sellers, designating such Sellers’ Previously Omitted Contract as “Assumed” or “Rejected.” If at any point following Closing, Buyer elects to add any additional Contract to Schedule 2.5(a) that was not (i) listed on Schedule 2.5(a) as of Closing and (ii) rejected pursuant to a bankruptcy court order (any such Contract, a “Buyer Previously Omitted Contract” and together with Seller’s Previously Omitted Contract, a “Previously Omitted Contract”), Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of its designation of such Buyer Previously Omitted Contract as “Assumed.” If Buyer designates a Seller Previously Omitted Contract as “Assumed,” Schedule 2.5(a) shall be amended to include such Previously Omitted Contract and Sellers shall serve a notice (the “Previously Omitted Contract Notice”) on the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract of the Cure Costs with respect to such Previously Omitted Contract and Sellers’ intention to assume and assign such Previously Omitted Contract in accordance with this Agreement. The Previously Omitted Contract Notice shall provide the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract with ten (10) days to object, in writing to Sellers and Buyer, to the Cure Costs or the assumption of its Contract; and if the counterparties, Sellers and Buyer are unable to reach a consensual resolution with respect to such objection, Sellers will file all pleadings required to seek a timely hearing before the Bankruptcy Court to determine the applicable Cure Costs (to the extent not previously determined) and obtain approval of the assumption of the Previously Omitted Contract and payment by Buyer or Sellers (as applicable) of such applicable Cure Cost.

(c) If Buyer designates a Sellers’ Previously Omitted Contract as “Assumed,” Sellers shall amend Schedule 2.5(a) and, at Sellers’ expense (other than Cure Costs, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be paid by Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, as set forth in Section 2.5(c) hereof), take all other steps necessary to assume and assign the Sellers’ Previously Omitted Contract to Buyer and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any costs or expenses incurred by Seller after Closing for such Buyer Previously Omitted Contract. If Buyer designates a Buyer Previously Omitted Contract as “Assumed,” Sellers shall amend Schedule 2.5(a) and, at Buyer’s expense, take all other steps necessary to assume and assign the Buyer Previously Omitted Contract to Buyer and Buyer shall reimburse Sellers for any costs or expenses incurred by Seller (other than Cure Costs, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be paid by Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, as set forth in Section 2.5(c) hereof) after Closing for such Buyer Previously Omitted Contract.

(d) On the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the sole and exclusive right to select, identify and designate the Assumed Contracts.

(e) Upon objection by the Contract counterparty to the proposed Cure Costs asserted by Sellers with regard to any Contract (such contract, a “Disputed Contract”) Sellers shall, at Buyer’s prior written direction, either settle the objection of such party or shall litigate such objection (at Buyer’s expense if after Closing). In no event shall Sellers settle a Cure Costs objection with regard to any Contract without the express written consent of Buyer (with an email consent being sufficient). Upon entry of an Order determining any Cure Costs regarding any Disputed Contract (the “Disputed Contract Order”), Buyer shall have the option to designate the Disputed Contract as an Excluded Asset, in which case, for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not assume the Disputed Contract. Sellers agrees that it will promptly take such commercially reasonable actions as are necessary to obtain a final Order of the Bankruptcy Court providing for the assumption and assignment of Assumed Contracts.

In the event that the Cure Costs of any Material Contract and Lease or other Assumed Contract or Assumed Lease changes after the Agreement Date, Sellers shall promptly, and in no event later than one (1) Business Day, provide notice to Buyer of such change.

6.9 Preservation of Books and Records; Cooperation. For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide to Sellers and their respective Representatives, at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, (after reasonable notice and during normal business hours and without undue interference to the business operations of Buyer) reasonable access to, including the right to make copies of, all books and records included in and otherwise related to the Acquired Assets, solely to the extent necessary to permit Sellers to determine any matter relating to their rights and obligations hereunder or to any period ending on or before the Closing Date (for example, for purposes of any Tax or accounting audit or any claim or litigation matter, but not for any dispute or claim between Buyer and Sellers in connection with this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or otherwise) or the liquidation and winding down of Sellers following the Closing, and shall preserve such books and records until the later of (i) the retention period required by applicable Law, (ii) the conclusion of all proceedings relating to the Chapter 11 Cases, or (iii) such three (3) year period. Such access shall include access to any information in electronic form to the extent reasonably available. Buyer acknowledges that Sellers have the right to retain copies of all of books and records included in or related to the Acquired Assets for periods prior to the Closing subject to Section 6.14.

45

6.10 Notification of Certain Matters. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Sellers and Buyer will give prompt written notice to the other Parties of (a) the existence of any fact or circumstance, or the occurrence of any event, of which it has Knowledge that would reasonably be likely to cause a condition to a Party’s obligations to consummate the Transactions set forth in Section 7.1, with respect to the Sellers, and Section 7.2, with respect to the Buyer, not to be satisfied as of any date prior to the Closing Date, (b) the receipt of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions, or (c) the commencement of any actions, suits, investigations or proceedings relating to such Seller, any Acquired Asset or the Business that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed or would have resulted in a breach of any representation contained in Article 4; provided, however, that the delivery of any such notice pursuant to this Section 6.10 shall not be deemed to amend or supplement this Agreement and the failure to deliver any such notice shall not constitute a waiver of any right or condition to the consummation of the Transactions by any Party.

6.11 Name Change. At the Closing or within sixty (60) Business Days after the Closing Date, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such corporate and other actions necessary to change their company names to names that are not similar to, or confusing with, their current names, including any necessary filings required by the law of the state of its organization, and shall promptly thereafter provide Buyer with written evidence of such name change; provided that at all times following the Closing, the Sellers shall not use the company names for commercial purposes. Sellers shall also prepare and file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court to change the caption of the Bankruptcy Case to reflect such name change.

6.12 Intellectual Property Rights Assignment. To the extent any Intellectual Property Rights used by the Business are owned by any employees, contract workers, directors or officers of Sellers prior to the Closing, Sellers shall, with respect to any such former employees, contract workers, directors and officers, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such former employees, contract workers, directors and officers to assign their entire interest in such Intellectual Property Rights to Sellers prior to the Closing. At or prior to the Closing, with respect to certain social media sites identified on Schedule 6.12, Seller shall make a Person identified by Buyer a moderator of such accounts in order to provide Buyer access to such accounts.

6.13 Transition Services Agreement. In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, the Parties will negotiate in good faith, on or before March 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) a transition services agreement in form and substance (a) customary for transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement and (b) reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Buyer in their respective reasonable discretion (the “Transition Services Agreement”), which will provide for the provision of transition services by Sellers to the extent administratively feasible to operate the Business in substantially the same manner as currently conducted in accordance with the term set forth therein. Among other things, the Transition Services Agreement will provide for transition services by such existing employees and contract workers of Sellers as may be designated by Buyer, at Buyer’s cost, through the earlier of (i) May 30, 2023, and (ii) the departure of the last of such employees and contract workers (the “Transition Services Period”). Buyer may, at its option, extend the Transition Services Period by up to four additional weeks on a week-to-week basis, provided that the services provided during such additional transition period shall be at Buyer’s cost.

46

6.14 Confidentiality.

(a) From and after the Closing, Sellers shall keep confidential all non-public information regarding the Acquired Assets and the Assumed Liabilities, except for such public disclosure as Sellers and their counsel may reasonably determine to be required under any applicable Law, regulation, stock exchange requirement, SEC rules and regulations, or Order. Sellers shall provide Buyer the opportunity to review and comment upon, and Sellers shall consider such comments in good faith, all such disclosures.

(b) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Confidentiality Agreement is enforceable in accordance with its terms, it being understood and agreed, however, that such Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate automatically effective as of the Closing.

6.15 Employees.

(a) No later than 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the Agreement Date, Buyer shall provide Sellers a list of any Employees that Buyer would like to make an offer of employment (the “Offered Employees”). Between the Agreement Date and March 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), Buyer shall be permitted to add or remove Employees from the initial list of Offered Employees. Between March 1, 2023 and five (5) Business Days before the Closing, Buyer shall be permitted to remove Employees in an amount that deviates no more than ten (10%) percent from the initial list of Offered Employees, as may have been revised on or before March 1, 2023. Each Offered Employee who accepts such offer shall be deemed a “Transferred Employee”). At a time mutually agreed by the Parties, Sellers shall deliver a notice to each of the Offered Employees (i) informing such Offered Employees about the sale of the Acquired Assets to Buyer, and (ii) terminating their employment with Sellers. Immediately following such notification, Buyer may send a notice to each of the Offered Employees describing their offer of employment by Buyer.

(b) By written notice to the Sellers no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Buyer may, but shall not be required to, assume the sponsorship of such Seller Benefit Plans as selected by the Buyer (as an “Assumed Plan”). With respect to each Assumed Plan, Sellers shall take all actions necessary to effect the transfer of such sponsorship and all underlying trusts, insurance contracts and agreements of such Assumed Plan. With respect to each Assumed Plan, the Buyer shall be responsible for all liabilities accruing after the Closing (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall remain responsible for all liabilities accruing on or prior to the Closing).

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer acknowledges that it will be responsible for all liabilities, obligations and claims arising out of the employment by Buyer of any Transferred Employee with respect to Buyer’s employment of such Transferred Employee on and after the date of employment of such Transferred Employee with Buyer. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Sellers shall make available COBRA (or equivalent) benefits for each Employee that is terminated on the Closing Date and not made an offer of employment by Buyer and Buyer shall have no obligations or liability in connection therewith.

(d) Seller shall provide Buyer such information as it reasonably requests to effect the provisions of this Section 6.15.

47

6.16 Independent Contractors. No later than 11:59 p.m. prevailing Eastern Time on the Agreement Date, Buyer shall provide Sellers a list of any independent contractors that Buyer would like to engage (the “Offered Independent Contractors”) as identified on Schedule 6.16. Between the Agreement Date and March 1, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), Buyer shall be permitted to add or remove independent contractors from the initial list of Offered Independent Contractors. Between the March 1, 2023 and five (5) Business Days before the Closing, Buyer shall be permitted to remove independent contractors in an amount that deviates no more than ten (10%) percent from the initial list of Offered Independent Contractors, as may have been revised on or before March 1, 2023. Each Offered Independent Contractor who accepts such offer shall be deemed a “Transferred Independent Contractor”. The contractors set forth therein will be an immediate obligation of Buyer until such time as the relationships are terminated by Buyer and/or the Transferred Independent Contractors set forth on Schedule 6.16.

TERMINATION

8.1 Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated, and the Transactions abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by written agreement of Sellers and Buyer;

(b) by either Sellers or Buyer:

(i) if there shall be any Law that makes consummation of the Transactions illegal or otherwise prohibited, or if any Order permanently restraining, prohibiting or enjoining Buyer or Sellers from consummating the Transactions is entered and such Order shall become final and non-appealable, provided, however, that no termination may be made by a Party under this Section 8.1(b)(i) if the issuance of such Order was caused by the material breach of any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement by such Party (which, in the case of the Sellers, shall include each Seller); or

(ii) upon Sellers consummating an Alternative Transaction.

(c) by Buyer by giving written notice to each Seller if there has been a breach by any Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement that would prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of Buyer at Closing set forth in Section 7.1(a), Section 7.1(b), or Section 7.1(c), and such breach has not been waived by Buyer, or, if such breach is curable, cured by such Seller prior to the earlier to occur of (A) fourteen (14) days after receipt of Buyer’s notice of such breach, and (B) the Outside Date; provided, that Buyer shall not have a right of termination pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if Sellers could, at such time, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(g);

50

(g) by Sellers by giving written notice to Buyer if there has been a breach by any Buyer of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement that would prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to the obligations of Sellers at Closing set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b), and such breach has not been waived by Sellers, or, if such breach is curable, cured by such Buyer prior to the earlier to occur of (A) fourteen (14) days after receipt of Sellers’ notice of such breach, and (B) the Outside Date; provided, that Sellers shall not have a right of termination pursuant to this Section 8.1(g) if Buyer could, at such time, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c); or

9.6 Choice of Law. Except to the extent the mandatory provisions of the Bankruptcy Code apply, this Agreement and any Claim or Proceeding that may be based upon, arise out of or relate or be incidental to this Agreement, the Transactions, the negotiation, execution, performance or consummation of the foregoing or the inducement of any Party to enter into the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter arising shall be construed and interpreted, and the rights of the Parties shall be determined, in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any provision thereof that would require or permit the application of the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction.

9.7 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules), the Sale Order, and all Transaction Documents and all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto constitute the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written, of the Parties. To the extent any terms and provisions of this Agreement are in any way inconsistent with or in conflict with any term, condition or provision of another Transaction Document (which, for the avoidance of doubt, excludes any Sale Order), this Agreement will govern and control. This Agreement or any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified, and any of the terms, covenants, representations, warranties or conditions may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by Buyer and Sellers, or in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving compliance. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed or shall constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof (whether or not similar), and no such waiver shall constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

9.8 Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

In proving this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart signed by the Party against whom enforcement is sought.

53

9.9 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this Agreement. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated only to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

9.10 Headings. The table of contents and the headings of the Articles and Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.

9.11 Exclusive Jurisdiction; Specific Performance; Remedies.

(a) Subject to Section 9.11(b), without limiting any Party’s right to appeal any order of the Bankruptcy Court, (i) the Bankruptcy Court shall retain exclusive jurisdiction to enforce the terms of this Agreement and to decide any Claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the Transactions, and (ii) any and all Proceedings related to the foregoing shall be filed and maintained only in the Bankruptcy Court, and the Parties hereby consent to and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Bankruptcy Court and shall receive Notices at such locations as indicated in Section 9.5. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.11 shall not apply to any Claims that Buyer or its Affiliates may have against any third party following the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event the Chapter 11 Cases of Sellers are closed or dismissed, the Parties hereby agree that all Claims or disputes which may arise or result from, or be connected with, this Agreement, any breach or default hereunder, or the Transactions, shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal court sitting in the District of Delaware or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in Delaware (and, in each case, any appellate court thereof), and the Parties hereby (i) consent to and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts, (ii) agree that venue would be proper in such courts, and waive any objection that they may now or hereafter have that any such court is an improper or inconvenient forum for the resolution of any Claim or Proceeding, and (iii) agrees providing Notice to the Persons and in the manner listed in Section 9.5 or any other process required or permitted by any such court, will be effective service of process; provided that nothing herein will be deemed to prevent a Party from making service of process by any means authorized by the Laws of the State of Delaware. The foregoing consent to jurisdiction will not constitute submission to jurisdiction or general consent to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except with respect to any Claim or Proceeding.

(c) Each Party acknowledges that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably in the event that the terms of this Agreement are not performed by such Party in accordance with its specific terms or are otherwise breached or such Party fails to consummate the Closing when required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and that, in addition to any other remedy that each Party may have under law or equity, each Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent breaches of the terms of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof that are required to be performed by the other Parties. Each Party further agrees that the other Parties shall not 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 9.11, and irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.

54

(d) Except to the extent set forth otherwise in this Agreement, all remedies under this Agreement expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

9.12 WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. SELLERS AND BUYER HEREBY WAIVE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, THIS SECTION 9.12 SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY CLAIMS THAT BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY THIRD PARTY FOLLOWING THE CLOSING.

9.13 Survival. Each and every representation and warranty contained in this Agreement shall expire and be of no further force and effect as of the Closing. Each and every covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement (other than the covenants contained in this Agreement which by their terms are to be performed (in whole or in part) by the Parties following the Closing (each, a “Post-Closing Covenant”)) shall expire and be of no further force and effect as of the Closing. Each Post-Closing Covenant shall survive the Closing until the earlier of performance of such Post-Closing Covenant in accordance with this Agreement.

9.14 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or equity holder of Buyer or Sellers shall have any Liability for any Liabilities of Buyer or Sellers, respectively, under this Agreement or for any Claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of the Transactions. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Buyer and Sellers hereby waive and release all such Liabilities against any such past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or equity holder of Buyer or Sellers. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Claim, action (including in the Chapter 11 Case), suit, Proceeding or investigation based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the Persons that are expressly named as parties to this Agreement.

9.15 Disclosure Schedules. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the inclusion of any information (including dollar amounts) in Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by any Party that such information is required to be listed on such section of the relevant schedule or is material to or outside the Ordinary Course of Business of any Person. The information contained in this Agreement, the exhibits hereto and the Disclosure Schedules is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third party of any matter whatsoever (including any violation of any Law or breach of contract). Unless the context otherwise requires, all capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules shall have the respective meanings assigned in this Agreement. The Disclosure Schedules set forth items of disclosure with specific reference to the particular Section or subsection of this Agreement to which the information in the Disclosure Schedules relates; provided, however, that any information set forth in any of the Disclosure Schedules will be deemed to apply to each other section or subsection thereof to which its relevance is reasonably apparent on its face. Except as provided in Section 2.5(a), or as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules cannot be amended or modified without the mutual consent of the Parties, in writing.

9.16 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the result of the joint efforts of Buyer and Sellers, and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the Parties and there is to be no construction against any Party based on any presumption of that Party’s involvement in the drafting thereof. Prior drafts of this Agreement or any ancillary agreements, schedules or exhibits thereto or the fact that any clauses have been added, deleted or otherwise modified from any prior drafts of this Agreement or any ancillary agreements, schedules or exhibits thereto shall not be used as an aide of construction or otherwise constitute evidence of the intent of the Parties.

9.17 Fiduciary Obligations. Nothing in this Agreement, or any document related to the Transactions, will require Sellers or any of their respective governing bodies, directors, officers or members, in each case, in their capacity as such, to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent inconsistent with their fiduciary obligations or applicable Law.
