doubt, the termination of any provisions of the Affiliated Contract that purport to survive termination thereof).
Section 3.Covered Person Representations and Warranties. Each Covered Person hereby makes the representations and warranties set forth on Annex A to Parent.
Section 4.Covered Person Covenants and Release.
(a)Confidentiality. After the Closing, each Covered Person shall not disclose or use, and shall cause its Affiliates not to disclose or use, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents not to disclose or use, all documents and information concerning any member of the Company Group, except (i) to the extent that such information can be shown to be or have been in the public domain through no fault of any Covered Person or any of its Affiliates, (ii) to the extent that such information becomes available to the Covered Person on a non-confidential basis from a third party source that is not prohibited from disclosing such information, and (iii) as required by Applicable Law (including judicial or administrative process) (provided that, in the case of this clause (iii), to the extent reasonably practicable, each Covered Person shall provide advance notice to Parent of any such proposed disclosure and shall reasonably cooperate, at Parent’s expense, in connection with Parent’s efforts to obtain confidential treatment and/or a protective order). Following the date hereof, each Covered Person shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, consult with Parent before issuing any press release, having any communication with the press (whether or not for attribution) or making any other public statement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and such Covered Person shall not issue any such press release, have any such public communication or make any such other public statement without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that the restrictions set forth in this Section 4(a) shall not apply to any release or public statement required by Applicable Law (in which case the applicable Person shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) consult with Parent prior to making any such disclosure and (ii) cooperate (at Parent’s expense) in connection with Parent’s efforts to obtain confidential treatment and/or a protective order) or any statement consistent with any public statement or security filing of Parent.

(b)Release. Effective as of the Closing (but only if the Closing actually occurs), except for (i) claims of fraud or (ii) claims under the Merger Agreement and any Transaction Document to which such Covered Person is a party, each Covered Person, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates and each of its and their respective past, present and future officers, directors, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, advisors, stockholders, equity holders, controlling Persons or Affiliates, or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges Parent and its Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Company Group), and each of the foregoing’s respective past, present or future officers, directors, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, advisors, stockholders, equity holders, controlling Persons, other Affiliates, or any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, and covenants (whether express or implied), whatsoever whether in law or in equity (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) which the Releasing Parties may have against each of the Released Parties, now or in the future, in each case in respect of any cause, matter or thing arising prior to
3
    



the Closing, including any rights and claims, whether in law or in equity, in each case to the extent relating to the businesses of the Company Group or the operation thereof prior to the Closing. The rights and claims waived by the Releasing Parties include claims for breach of contract, breach of representation or warranty, negligent misrepresentation and all other claims for breach of duty. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Equityholder (on behalf of the Releasing Parties) hereby waives the application of any provision of law, including California Civil Code Section 1542, that purports to limit the scope of a general release. Section 1542 of the California Civil Code provides:
A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.
Each Covered Person (on behalf of itself and the Releasing Parties) hereby acknowledges and agrees that if such Covered Person or any other Releasing Party should hereafter make any claim or demand or commence or threaten to commence any Action against any Released Party with respect to any claim released by this Section 4(b), this Section 4(b) may be raised as a complete bar to any such Action, and the applicable Released Party may recover from the Covered Persons all damages incurred in connection with such Action, including attorneys’ fees.

(h)Reserved.
(i)Certain Acknowledgements. Each Covered Person acknowledges that Parent would be unwilling to enter into the Merger Agreement and other Transaction Documents, or consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, in the absence of this Agreement, and that the covenants contained herein constitute a material inducement to Parent to enter into, and consummate the transactions contemplated by (including payments of the amounts contemplated by), the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Covered Person (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that the restrictions contained in this Section 4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Parent, and it is the intention of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 4 are for any reason held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Section 4, and this Section 4 shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. It is the further intention of the Parties that if any restriction or covenant contained herein is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by Applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall (to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law) not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but instead shall be construed and interpreted or reformed to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions (not greater than those contained herein) as shall be valid and enforceable under such Applicable Law. If any Covered Person breaches any provision of Section 4(c) or 4(e) with respect to such breached provision, the restricted period set forth therein shall be tolled with respect to such Covered Person and shall not run for the length of such breach.
Section 5.Waiver of Dissenters’ and Appraisal Rights. Each Covered Person has waived, and agrees not to exercise, any right to dissent or appraisal or any similar provision under Applicable Law (including Delaware Law) in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Section 8.Miscellaneous.
(a)Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by the Parties. No waiver of any provision hereunder or any breach or default thereof shall extend to or affect in any way any other provision or prior or subsequent breach or default.
(b)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 agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of 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 after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.
(c)This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any Party without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, that Parent may transfer or assign its rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Affiliates at any time; provided, however, that no such transfer or assignment by Parent shall relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any Covered Person to Parent.
(d)Each of the Parties acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Parties agree that prior to a valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, such non-breaching Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at Law or in equity, to enforce its rights and the other Party’s obligations hereunder not only by an Action or Actions for damages but also by an Action or Actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security). Each of the Parties hereby waives (i) any defenses in any Action for an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity, and (ii) any requirement under Applicable Law to post a bond, undertaking or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
(e)This Agreement will automatically terminate, without any notice or other action by any person, if the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement, no Party shall have any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 8(e) shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement or Fraud by such Party prior to the termination hereof.
8
    



(f)This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one Party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(g)Each of the Parties agrees and acknowledges that Parent has no obligation by virtue of this Agreement to effect the Closing, and Parent shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever hereunder for any failure to effect the Closing (whether or not such failure is (or is deemed to be) in breach of the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or otherwise).
