4. Representations and Warranties of the Transferors. Each Transferor represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, to the Transferees that (a) such Transferor has the right, power, and authority to execute, deliver, and fully perform its obligations under this Agreement, without violation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or court order and without the necessity of obtaining any consent or approval from any governmental or regulatory authority, other than compliance with and filings under the HSR Act; (b) this Agreement has been duly executed and is a binding and valid agreement enforceable against such Transferor in accordance with its terms; (c) such Transferor owns the Transferred Securities, free and clear of any security interest, lien, charge, or other encumbrance of any nature whatsoever; (d) neither such Transferor nor any person authorized by such Transferor, as agent or otherwise, has offered all or any part of the Transferred Securities for sale to, or solicited offers to buy the same from, any person other than the Transferees; (e) such Transferor has, independently and without reliance upon the Transferees, and based upon such information concerning the Transfer that such Transferor has obtained from whatever sources it deemed appropriate, reliable and adequate, made its own investment analysis and decision to consummate the Transfer; and (f) such Transferor believes that, by reason of its business and financial experience, it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the Transfer and of protecting its own interests in connection with the Transfer.

5. HSR Act Conditions. (a) Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund (“Longleaf”) shall as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than five (5) business days after the date of this Agreement, (i) file or cause to be filed with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) the notification and report form required for the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to the HSR Act and seek the early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, and (ii) make or cause to be made such other filings as are necessary in other jurisdictions in order to comply with any other applicable competition, merger control, antitrust or similar statute, law, ordinance, legally-binding rule or regulation (“Applicable Law”) of any jurisdiction. Longleaf shall promptly submit any supplemental information requested by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign court of competent jurisdiction, governmental agency, authority, instrumentality or regulatory body (each, a “Governmental Entity”) in connection with any such filing. Any such filing or submission shall be in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act or such other Applicable Law, as applicable. Each of the Transferors and the Transferees shall furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission under the HSR Act or such other Applicable Law. It is understood and agreed that, absent the unanimous written consent of the Parties, the Closing cannot occur until the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the receipt of any consent, approval or authorization (“Consent”), or the expiration or termination of any waiting period, under such other Applicable Law (collectively, “Satisfaction of the HSR Conditions”). Without limiting the generality of this Section 5, the Transferees shall use their best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions consistent with this Section 5 necessary to cause Satisfaction of the HSR Conditions, in each case as promptly as practicable for the consummation of the Transfer.

(b) Each of the Parties shall (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission made with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 5 and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry by or before any Governmental Entity relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 5, including any Proceeding initiated by a private party, and (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any material communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity and of any material communication received or given in connection with any Proceeding by a private party, in each case relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 5. Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, each of the Parties shall have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each of the Parties will consult any other Party on, all the information relating to any other Party that appears in any filing or submission made with any Governmental Entity or any private party relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 5. Each of the Parties agrees not to participate in substantive meetings or discussions, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Entity relating to the matters contemplated by this Section 5 unless, to the extent reasonably practicable, it consults with the other Parties in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Parties the opportunity to attend and participate.

6. Nondisclosure Agreement and Standstill. It is understood and agreed that, absent the unanimous written consent of the Parties, the Closing cannot occur until the prior written consent of the Company to the Transfer is received. In connection therewith, the Transferees covenant and agree to use their best efforts to negotiate and enter into as promptly as practicable a nondisclosure and standstill agreement with the Company binding upon the Transferees and their respective affiliates on terms which are mutually agreeable to the Transferees and the Company.

7. Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated and the Transfer and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by unanimous written consent of the Parties; or

(b) by any Party, if the Closing does not occur on or prior to June 12, 2017 (the “Outside Date”);

8. Further Assurances. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that it will, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party, execute and deliver such documents and take such further actions as another Party may from time to time reasonably request as being necessary or desirable to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

9. Binding Effect; Governing Law. This Agreement shall bind and benefit the Parties, their representatives, and their permitted assignees and successors in interest. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of the conflict of laws thereof.

10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties governing this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified, superseded, or terminated only in writing signed by each of the Parties to be affected.

11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
