Statement on Schedule 13D
under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”) of Chart Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), whose principal executive offices are located at 75 Rockefeller Plaza, 14th Floor, New York, NY 10019.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Tempus Intermediate Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tempus”), John G. Gulbin III (“Gulbin”) and Benjamin Scott Terry (“Terry”) are jointly filing this statement.  Gulbin and Terry are currently the sole managers and members of Tempus Intermediate Holdings, LLC.  Tempus, Gulbin and Terry are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons”.  The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, dated July 25, 2014, a copy of which is filed with this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 1, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons have agreed to file this statement on Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with the provisions on Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Tempus is a Delaware limited liability company formed for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by the Equity Transfer and Acquisition Agreement (and related transaction documents) described in Item 4 below.  Tempus’ principal offices are located at 133 Waller Miller Road, Suite 400, Williamsburg, VA 23185.

The names, citizenship, business address, present principal occupation or employment and the name and principal business address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted, of all the current managers and members of Tempus are set forth in Schedule A hereto and incorporated herein by reference.  Tempus currently has no directors or executive officers.

None of the Reporting Persons and none of the persons listed on Schedule A has during the past five years been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, as a result of which proceeding such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

As described in Item 4 and Item 5, the shares of Common Stock to which this statement relates have not been purchased by the Reporting Persons.  In connection with the Equity Transfer and Acquisition Agreement dated as of July 15, 2014 (the “ETAA”), by and among The Tempus Group Holdings, LLC (“Buyer”), Tempus, Gulbin and Terry and certain other persons to become members of Tempus in connection with transactions contemplated by the ETAA (collectively, the “Members”), Gulbin and Terry (acting together or individually as the Members’ Representative) (solely for purposes of Sections 1.3, 6.3, 6.5, 6.7, 6.11, 6.20, 6.21 and 8.6 and Articles II, IX, X, XI and XII), the Company and the Warrant Offerors named therein (the “Warrant Offerors”) (solely for purposes of Sections 6.14 and 6.15) (such parties collectively, the “ETAA Parties”), Tempus, Gulbin and Terry, along with Chart Acquisition Group LLC, The Chart Group, L.P., Christopher D. Brady, Joseph Wright and Cowen Overseas Investment LP (the “Stockholders”) entered into a Supporting Stockholder Agreement dated as of July 15, 2014 (the “SSA”) with respect to the voting of an aggregate of 1,766,250 shares of the Company’s Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholders with respect to the transactions contemplated by the ETAA described in Item 4.

The Reporting Persons have not paid, and do not expect to pay, additional consideration in connection with the execution and delivery of the SSA.  For a description of the SSA, see Item 5 below, which description is incorporated herein by referred in response to this Item 3.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

As of July 15, 2014, the ETAA Parties entered into the ETAA, pursuant to which, among other things, the Members of Tempus will receive (i) membership interests (“Buyer Units”) in Buyer, the Company’s newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiary and (ii) shares of Class B common stock of Company (the “Class B Shares”) in an amount equal to the Buyer Units issuable to each Member thereunder, in exchange for the transfer to Buyer of 100% of the membership interests of Tempus (the “Acquisition”), subject to the terms and conditions of the ETAA.

The Equity Transfer and Acquisition Agreement

Under the terms of the ETAA (and related transaction documents), the Members, who own all of the membership interests of Tempus, will receive (i) Buyer Units exchangeable (together with Class B Shares) into 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (after giving effect to the charter amendment described below, the “Class A Shares”, and subject to adjustment as provided in the ETAA), which would represent approximately 50.6% of the economic interest in Buyer and approximately 50.6% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares upon full exchange thereof (assuming that none of the Company’s stockholders have exercised redemption rights prior to or in connection with the business combination, that none of the Company’s warrants have been exercised, and that there are no adjustments to the purchase price required by the terms of the ETAA) and (ii) an equal number of Class B Shares (which have voting rights but no other economic value ). In exchange for the Company’s contribution to Buyer of the remaining balance of a trust account established for the benefit of the Company’s public stockholders (after giving effect to any stockholder redemptions prior to or concurrent with the consummation of the business combination and the satisfaction of certain other obligations of the Company), Buyer will issue to the Company a number of non-convertible Buyer Units equal to the number of issued and outstanding Class A Shares.

In exchange, Buyer will receive 100% of the membership interests of Tempus. The Class B Shares and Buyer Units held by the Members will be exchangeable into Class A Shares on the basis of one Class A Share for each Buyer Unit (together with accompanying Class B Share) tendered for exchange. Buyer will elect to be treated as a corporation for tax purposes. The ETAA provides that Tempus will have the option to change the structure of the transaction to an “Up-C” structure and have the Buyer elect to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes at any time before September 1, 2014. In addition, the transaction structure will automatically shift to an Up-C structure on or before August 15, 2014 upon delivery to Buyer of a tax analysis showing a level of tax exposure to the Members in excess of a specified threshold. In the event the transaction converts to an Up-C structure, the parties have agreed to, among other things, negotiate in good faith revised distribution provisions for Buyer’s operating agreement and other applicable revisions to the transaction documents.

The consummation of the transaction is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of the Required Parent Stockholder Approval (as defined in the ETAA). Additionally, the consummation of the transaction is subject to Tempus effectuating a corporate reorganization pursuant to a Restructuring Agreement, dated as of July 15, 2014, by and among Tempus and certain of its affiliates (the “Reorganization”).  A form of the Restructuring Agreement is attached as Exhibit D to the ETAA.

In addition, the consummation of the Acquisition is subject to the completion of the Warrant Offerors’ offer to purchase up to 3,750,000 warrants (subject to reduction as discussed below for warrants tendered in the Warrant Extension Tender Offer (as defined in “The Extension Proposal” below)) to purchase common stock of the Company at a purchase price of $0.60 per warrant (the “Warrant Tender Offer”). The Warrant Offerors have deposited an aggregate of $2,250,000 with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company into a segregated escrow account pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”), which funds will be used for the purchase of Company warrants validly tendered in the Warrant Tender Offer and the Warrant Extension Tender Offer.

The ETAA includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the parties. The Company and Tempus have agreed, among other things, to operate their respective businesses in the ordinary course until the Acquisition is consummated. In addition, the Company and Tempus have agreed not to solicit or initiate certain discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire (or be acquired by) any other person after the signing of the ETAA until consummation of the Acquisition and agreed to certain restrictions on their ability to respond to such proposals.

The ETAA includes customary termination provisions applicable to Tempus, the Buyer, the Members’ Representative and the Company. Buyer and Tempus can jointly agree to terminate the ETAA at any time prior to the consummation of the Acquisition, and either party may terminate the ETAA if the closing has not occurred one hundred twenty days after the delivery to the Company of the audited financial statements of Tempus and its subsidiaries required to be delivered pursuant to the ETAA (the “Required Financial Statements”).  In addition, Tempus will have the right to update its disclosure schedules to reflect certain information obtained in connection with the preparation of the Required Financial Statements. If Tempus exercises its right to update its disclosure schedules, the Buyer will have the right to terminate the ETAA or, if it does not terminate the ETAA, either waive or refuse to waive any of the matters disclosed in such update. If the Buyer does not terminate the ETAA and refuses to waive any of the matters disclosed in such update, Tempus will have the right to terminate the ETAA.

In the event that by the 90th day following date of the ETAA, either (i) the Required Financial Statements have not been delivered to the Company or (ii) the Reorganization has not been consummated, Buyer will have the right to terminate the ETAA.

The foregoing description of the ETAA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the ETAA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the ETAA, Gulbin and Terry, along with the other persons identified on Annex B to the ETAA will become officers and directors of the Company, until their respective successors are elected or appointed and qualified.

The ETAA has been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company or Tempus. The ETAA contains representations and warranties that the parties made to and solely for the benefit of each other. The assertions embodied in the representations and warranties in the ETAA are qualified by information contained in the confidential disclosure letter that the Company and Tempus delivered in connection with signing the ETAA.  Investors are not third-party beneficiaries under the ETAA and should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances, since they were only made as of the date of the ETAA and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure letter. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the ETAA, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s or Reporting Persons’ public disclosures.

Registration Rights Agreement

On the closing date of the Acquisition and as a condition precedent for the closing, the Company will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with certain of the recipients of the Buyer Units (the “Registration Rights Holders”), pursuant to which the Company will grant certain registration rights to the Registration Rights Holders with respect to, among other things, the shares of Class A Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Buyer Units (the “Registrable Securities”).
 
 
7

 

Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Registration Rights Holders will have certain customary registration rights, including demand rights and piggyback rights, subject to certain underwriter cutbacks and issuer blackout periods. The Registration Rights Agreement will also establish a lock-up period following the closing, that, subject to certain exceptions, will restrict the rights of Registration Rights Holders to dispose of their Registrable Securities during such period.  The Company agreed to pay certain fees and expenses relating to registrations under the Registration Rights Agreement.

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of such agreement, which is attached as Exhibit E to the ETAA.

Amendment to Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

In connection with seeking stockholder approval of the ETAA, the Company intends to seek stockholder approval of an amendment to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to be adopted at the closing, which will, among other things, (i) change the name of the Company to The Tempus Group, Inc., (ii) designate the existing Common Stock as Class A common stock, (iii) create the Class B Shares referred to above, (iv) delete certain sections of the Charter that are only applicable to the Company prior to its consummation of an initial business combination, (v) provide that so long as the Members hold at least 45% of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, the number of directors will be seven (7) unless otherwise consented to by the holders of a majority of the voting power held by the Members, and (vi) provide that for so long as the Members hold a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any or all of the directors may be removed from office without cause and vacancies filled by the stockholders, including by written consent.

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Charter as proposed to be amended and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form thereof, which is attached as Exhibit B to the ETAA.

Management of Buyer – LLC Operating Agreement

The Company will be the managing member of Buyer. However, so long as the Members beneficially own at least 45% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock (i.e., the Class A Shares and Class B Shares), the approval of the Members holding a majority of the Buyer Units then held by all the Members will be required before Buyer or any of its subsidiaries may take certain significant actions as described in Buyer’s operating agreement. Buyer will elect to be treated as a corporation for tax purposes.

The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the LLC Operating Agreement and does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of such agreement, which is attached as Exhibit C to the ETAA.

The Extension Proposal

The consummation of the Acquisition described above is also contingent upon approval of the stockholders of the Company, to take place at a special meeting, of a proposal (the “Extension Proposal”) to (i) amend the Company’s Charter to extend the date before which the Company must complete a business combination from September 13, 2014 (the “Current Termination Date”) to March 13, 2015 (the “Extended Termination Date”) (the “Extension Amendment”) and (ii) amend the Company's Charter and the trust account established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering to reflect the Extended Termination Date and allow holders of its public shares to redeem their public shares in connection with the Extension Amendment for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account (the “Trust Amendment”). If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the Company will afford the public stockholders the right to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account at the time the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment become effective.
 
 
8

 
 
If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the Company will amend the terms of its outstanding warrants to extend the date for automatic termination of the warrants if the Company has not consummated a business combination from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Termination Date. Holders of public warrants will continue to have five years from the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination to exercise such warrants.

If the Extension Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved (and not abandoned), the Warrant Offerors have agreed with the other parties to the Escrow Agreement with respect to the Company’s public warrants to amend the Escrow Agreement to provide that the termination event thereunder will be revised to reflect the Extended Termination Date rather than the Current Termination Date. The Warrant Purchasers will offer to purchase up to 7,500,000 public warrants at $0.30 per warrant in a tender offer to close on or about the Current Termination Date (the “Warrant Extension Tender Offer”).  In addition, the number of warrants subject to the Warrant Tender Offer that the Warrant Purchasers will conduct in connection with a business combination will be reduced at a ratio of one for every two warrants that are purchased in connection with the Warrant Extension Tender Offer.

The Reporting Persons are not parties to the foregoing agreements, but, as indicated above, the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment, as well as completion of the Warrant Tender Offer, are provided for in the ETAA and conditions to the closing of the Acquisition.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

As a result of the execution of the SSA, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the 1,766,250 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholders, which are subject to the SSA.  As represented to the Reporting Persons in the SSA, (i) the aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholders as of July 15, 2014, which are subject to the SSA, is 1,766,250 and 18.1%, respectively, based upon 9,750,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Company in its most recently available filing with the Commission.

As an inducement to the Reporting Persons to enter into the ETAA, the Stockholders entered into the SSA with the Reporting Persons pursuant to which, among other things, they agreed:
 
(i)        to vote all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them and over which they have voting control (a) in favor of the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment  (and any actions required in furtherance thereof), (b) in favor of the adoption of the Parent Voting Matters (as defined in the ETAA) (and any actions required in furtherance thereof), (c) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, representation, warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company or Buyer contained in the ETAA, and (d) against the following actions or proposals (other than the transactions contemplated by the ETAA (and other transaction documents) and the Extension Proposal): (A) any Parent Competing Transaction (as defined in the ETAA) (except as permitted by the ETAA); (B) any change in present capitalization of Company or any amendment of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Company; and (C) any change in Company’s corporate structure or business;
 
(ii)       not to submit their shares for repurchase or redemption or cause its shares to be repurchased or redeemed, whether pursuant to the Redemption Offer (as defined in the ETAA), the right of holders of Common Stock to have the Company redeem such shares if a business combination is not completed by September 13, 2014, any redemption offer by Company in connection with the Extension Proposal, or otherwise;
 
(iii)      not to, without the Members’ Representative’s prior written consent, (x) offer for sale, sell (including short sales), transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, a “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to, a Transfer of, any or all of the shares (subject to limited exceptions relating to compensation matters); (y) grant any proxies or  powers of attorney with respect to any or all of the shares, except as provided in the SSA; or (z) take any action that would have the effect of preventing, impeding, interfering with or adversely affecting Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under the SSA.
 
 
9

 
 
If and to the extent the Stockholders fail to fulfill their respective voting obligations as described above, the Stockholders have granted Members’ Representative an irrevocable proxy to act for them solely with respect to the matters set forth in the SSA.  The obligations of the Stockholders under the SSA terminate upon the earliest to occur of (a) the mutual written consent of the Members’ Representative and the Stockholders, (b) the closing date for the transactions contemplated by the ETAA, and (c) the date of termination of the ETAA in accordance with its terms.
 
This foregoing description of the SSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SSA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
By virtue of the SSA, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share with the Stockholders the power to vote the shares of the Common Stock subject to the SSA, but only as to the matters specified in the SSA.  Except as stated above, the Reporting Persons do not have the power to vote or direct the voting of such shares, nor do they have the sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such shares.  The Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership of such shares. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Persons as to the beneficial ownership of such shares, and no other shares of Common Stock are beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as of the date hereof.
 
The Reporting Persons have not effected in any other transaction in the Common Stock during the past sixty days.

To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Stockholders has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Common Stock subject to the SSA.

Gulbin III, as Members’ Representative, solely for purposes of Sections 1.3, 6.3, 6.5, 6.7, 6.11, 6.20, 6.21 and 8.6 and Articles II, IX, X, XI and XII, (v) Chart Acquisition Corp., a Delaware Corporation (“Parent”), and (vi) Chart Acquisition Group LLC, Mr. Joseph Wright and Cowen Overseas Investment LP (the “Warrant Offerors”), solely for purposes of Sections 6.14 and 6.15.  The Buyer, the Company and the Members are referred to herein individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in Appendix A.
 
RECITALS
 
WHEREAS, the Company has been formed under the laws of the State of Delaware;
 
WHEREAS, prior to or concurrently herewith, the Company and the Members have entered into the Restructuring Agreement, which provides for a reorganization (the “Reorganization”) pursuant to which, subject to the receipt of certain consents as provided therein, the Members will contribute the Subsidiaries of the Company to the Company in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding Company Units;
 
WHEREAS, concurrently herewith, each of Chart Acquisition Group LLC, The Chart Group, L.P., Christopher D. Brady, Joseph Wright and Cowen Overseas Investment LP are entering into a Supporting Stockholder Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with the Company, Benjamin Scott Terry and John G. Gulbin III pursuant to which each holder of Parent Common Stock party thereto agrees to vote in favor of the Parent Voting Matters, and to cause all Parent Common Stock held by such person not to be redeemed pursuant to the Redemption Offer, in each case on the terms and conditions set forth therein;
 
WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Buyer desires to acquire from the Members, and each Member desires to transfer to the Buyer, all of such Member’s Company Units.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I
 
TRANSFER OF UNITS
 
1.1           Equity Transfer.  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, for the consideration specified in Section 1.2, the Buyer agrees to acquire from each of the Members, and each Member agrees to transfer, assign and deliver to the Buyer, the Acquired Units owned by such Member, free and clear of all Encumbrances (the “Equity Transfer”).
 
 
1

 
 
1.2           Consideration.
 
(a)           In exchange for the acquisition by the Buyer of the Acquired Units and the covenants of the Members hereunder each Member shall receive, in exchange for each Company Unit held by such Member immediately prior to the Closing the Per Company Unit Consideration, as may be adjusted pursuant to Section 1.3(e).
 
(b)           Not less than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a closing statement setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Adjustment Amount (such estimate, the “Estimated Adjustment Amount”) together with reasonably detailed back-up data to support such estimate of each item from which such amount is calculated.  The Estimated Adjustment Amount shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, in accordance with the practices and procedures of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case in accordance with the form, methodology and principles used in preparing the Balance Sheet.  During the preparation and calculation of the Estimated Adjustment Amount, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, to afford the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.
 
(c)           At the Closing, (A) (i) the Buyer shall issue to each Member, in exchange for each issued and outstanding Company Unit then held by such Member, the Per Company Unit Consideration, (ii) the Buyer shall admit each Member as a member of the Buyer holding the applicable number of Buyer Units, which shall be evidenced as provided in Article III of the Buyer LLC Agreement, and (iii) Parent shall issue to each Member a stock certificate (if applicable) evidencing the applicable number of Class B Parent Shares in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Parent Certificate and the Buyer LLC Agreement and (B) in consideration for the Parent Contribution Amount the Buyer shall issue to Parent a number of Buyer Units, or a number of Buyer Units held by Parent shall be cancelled, as applicable, such that the number of Buyer Units held by Parent equals the number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing.
 
1.3           Transfer Price Adjustment.
 
(a)           Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Members’ Representative a Closing statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth the Buyer’s good faith calculation of the Adjustment Amount, including, without limitation, Net Debt, together with reasonably detailed back-up data to support each item from which such amount is calculated.  The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, using the same methodologies used in preparing the Balance Sheet, taking into account information that becomes available after the Closing in accordance with GAAP.  The Company shall cooperate with the Buyer in the preparation of the Closing Statement as reasonably requested by the Buyer.
 
 
2

 
 
(b)           The Members’ Representative shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to notify the Buyer of the Members’ Representative’s election to dispute the Closing Statement or any portion thereof.  During such thirty (30)-day period, the Buyer and Parent shall provide the Members’ Representative and its agents and representatives with reasonable access to all books, records and employees of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, Buyer and Parent (including supporting documents and working papers) to the extent relating to the preparation or review of the Closing Statement.  If (i) at any time during such thirty (30)-day review period, the Members’ Representative delivers written notice to the Buyer of its acceptance of the Closing Statement or (ii) prior to the expiration of such thirty (30)-day review period, the Members’ Representative does not deliver to the Buyer written notice of its disagreement specifying the nature and amount of any disputed item (a “Notice of Disagreement”), then the Closing Statement and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be deemed final and binding on the Members and the Members’ Representative.  To the extent that the Members’ Representative delivers a timely Notice of Disagreement, the Members, Buyer and Parent shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts in the Closing Statement not specifically referenced in such Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with this Section 1.3(b) or Section 1.3(d).  Any Notice of Disagreement may reference only disagreements (i) based upon either mathematical errors or amounts reflected in the Closing Statement or (ii) that either the Closing Statement or the calculation of the Adjustment Amount, or any amount contained therein was not prepared in accordance with this Article I (together with any corresponding definitions).
 
(c)           During the thirty (30)-day period following timely delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Members’ Representative to the Buyer, the Buyer and the Members’ Representative shall in good faith seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters identified therein, and all such discussions related thereto will (unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and the Members’ Representative) be considered compromise negotiations under Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable similar state rule.  During such thirty (30)-day period, the Members’ Representative shall provide the Buyer and its Representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice to the Members’ Representative, to the working papers of the Members’ Representative and its Representatives relating to such Notice of Disagreement.  Any disputed items resolved in writing between the Members’ Representative and the Buyer within such thirty (30)-day period shall be final and binding with respect to such items, and if the Members’ Representative and the Buyer agree in writing on the resolution of all disputed items specified by the Members’ Representative in the Notice of Disagreement, the Adjustment Amount as so determined shall be final and binding on the Parties.
 
(d)           In the event that the Members’ Representative and the Buyer are unable to resolve all disputed items in the Notice of Disagreement within thirty (30) days following the date upon which the Buyer received written notice from the Seller Parties disputing the Closing Statement, then within ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, the Buyer and the Members’ Representative shall submit, in writing, to the Accounting Firm, their briefs detailing their views as to the nature and amount of each item remaining in dispute, and the Accounting Firm shall make a written determination as to each such disputed item, which determination shall be final and binding for purposes of this Agreement.  The Accounting Firm shall be (i) engaged by the Buyer and the Members’ Representative on a joint basis and (ii) authorized to resolve only those items remaining in dispute between the parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3 within the range of the difference between the Buyer’s position with respect thereto and the Members’ Representative’s position with respect thereto.  The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Accounting Firm that it reached such determination in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3.  The Buyer and the Members’ Representative shall request that the Accounting Firm render its determination prior to the expiration of sixty (60) days after the dispute is submitted to the Accounting Firm, and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final and binding on all of the Parties and the Members’ Representative.  The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Company.

(e)           Following the final determination of the Adjustment Amount, (i)(A) if the Adjustment Amount is greater than the Estimated Adjustment Amount, the Schedule of Members (as defined in the Buyer LLC Agreement) shall be adjusted to reflect the cancellation of the number of Buyer Units held by the Members, and (B) if the Estimated Adjustment Amount is greater than the Adjustment Amount, the Schedule of Members (as defined in the Buyer LLC Agreement) shall be adjusted to reflect the issuance of the number of Buyer Units to the Members, in each case equal to the product of (x) such excess, divided by (y) $10, and (ii) in accordance with Article IV of the Third Amended and Restated Parent Certificate and the Buyer LLC Agreement, Parent shall reacquire and cancel Class B Parent Shares held by the Members or issue additional Class B Parent Shares to the Members, as applicable (and Parent shall cancel and/or issue certificates representing such Class B Parent Shares as needed to evidence such issuances or cancellations of  such Class B Parent Shares), such that the number of Class B Parent Shares held by a Member at all times equals the number of Buyer Units held by such Member.  Any cancellation or issuance pursuant to the foregoing shall be pro rata among the Members in proportion to the number of issued and outstanding Company Units held by such Member immediately prior to the Closing as compared to the total number of Company Units held by all Members immediately prior to the Closing.
 
1.4           Withholding of Tax.  The Buyer (or any other payor) shall be entitled (but not obligated) to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to the Members pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Buyer shall determine in good faith are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax Law.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Members.
 
ARTICLE II
 
CLOSING
 
2.1           Time and Place of the Closing.  The Closing shall take place at the offices of Morrison & Foerster LLP, 1650 Tysons Boulevard, Suite 400, McLean, Virginia, remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures by facsimile or electronic delivery, on the third (3rd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII and Article VIII (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing) or on such other date as the Buyer and the Members’ Representative mutually agree.
 
2.2           Deliveries.  At the time of the Closing, (a) each of the Seller Parties and the Members’ Representative shall deliver to the Buyer the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.6 below to be delivered by it and (b) Parent and the Buyer shall deliver to each Member, in exchange for each issued and outstanding Company Unit then held by such Member, the Per Company Unit Consideration as set forth in Section 1.2(c) above and each of Parent and the Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Members the certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 8.6 below to be delivered by it.

ARTICLE III
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES RELATING TO THE COMPANY
 
As a material inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, except as set forth on the correspondingly numbered section or subsection of the Company Schedules (it being agreed that the disclosure of any item in one section or subsection thereof shall be deemed included on any other section or subsection and to modify each other representation or warranty (even if such representation or warranty does not reference the Company Schedules) to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on its face), the Company represents and warrants to the Buyer, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:
 
3.1           Organization and Corporate Power.
 
(a)           The Company is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware, and is qualified or registered to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its activities makes such qualification or registration necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified, registered or in good standing is not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole).  Each of the Company’s Subsidiaries is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is qualified or registered to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of its activities makes such qualification or registration necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified, registered or in good standing is not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole).  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has the full corporate or limited liability company (as applicable) power and authority necessary to own and operate its properties and to conduct its business as now conducted.  Complete and accurate copies of the organizational documents of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (as in effect prior to amendment in connection with the Reorganization) have been delivered to the Buyer prior to the date hereof and reflect all amendments made thereto at any time prior to the date of this Agreement.  A complete and accurate copy of the limited liability company agreement of the Company is attached as Exhibit O to the Restructuring Agreement and, as of the Closing, the limited liability company agreement of each of Subsidiaries of the Company is substantially in the form attached as Exhibit P to the Restructuring Agreement.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under or in violation of any provision of its operating agreement or other organizational document or any resolution adopted by its members or managers.
 
(b)           Schedule 3.1 lists each Subsidiary of the Company and sets forth all jurisdictions in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are qualified or registered to do business.  The books of account and transfer ledgers of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries are accurate, up-to-date and complete, and have been maintained in accordance with prudent business practices and all applicable Laws.  Following the completion of the 351 Exposure Statement, the Seller Parties shall cause to be delivered to Buyer a statement of the tax basis of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries that is complete and accurate in all material respects.  There have been no meetings or other Proceedings or actions, resolutions or consents of the members of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the managers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are not fully reflected in such minutes.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has conducted any business under or otherwise used, for any purpose, any fictitious name, assumed name, trade name or other name, other than the names set forth on Schedule 3.1.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BUYER AND PARENT
 
As a material inducement to the Seller Parties to enter into this Agreement, and to consummate the Transactions, except as set forth in the Parent SEC Reports or on the correspondingly numbered section or subsection of the disclosure schedules delivered by Parent and the Buyer to the Company and the Members concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement (the “Buyer Schedules”) (it being agreed that the disclosure of any item in one section or subsection thereof shall be deemed included on any other section or subsection, and to modify each other representation and warranty (even if such representation and warranty does not reference the Buyer Schedules) to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on its face), the Buyer and Parent each represent and warrant to the Members as follows:
 
5.1           Organization.
 
(a)           Parent is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character or location of its assets or properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified, registered or in good standing is not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on Parent.  Parent has full corporate power and authority and all material licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to own and operate its properties and to conduct its business as conducted.
 
 
37

 
 
(b)           The Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified to do business and in good standing in each jurisdiction where the character or location of its assets or properties owned, leased or operated by it or the nature of its activities makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified, registered or in good standing is not reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the Buyer.  The Buyer has full corporate power and authority and all material licenses, permits and authorizations necessary to own and operate its properties and to conduct its business as conducted.
 
5.2           Authority for Agreement.  Subject to receipt of the Required Parent Stockholder Approval, Parent and the Buyer each has full corporate power and authority to enter into and perform their respective obligations under the Transaction Documents to which Parent or the Buyer is or will be a party and to consummate the Transactions.  The sole member and the manager of the Buyer has authorized the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions.  The Board of Directors of Parent (including any required committee or subgroup of such board, the “Parent Board”), at a meeting duly called and held, has, as of the date of this Agreement, unanimously (a) approved and declared the advisability of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions, (b) determined that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the Transactions are in the best interests of the Buyer, Parent and its stockholders, (c) authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent and the Buyer and (d) adopted and approved, and directed the submission to holders of Parent Common Stock for their approval, the other Required Approval Matters and has provided the Members a true, correct and complete copy of each such approval, determination and authorization.  Subject to receipt of the Required Parent Stockholder Approval, the Warrant Tender Offer and the Redemption Offer, no other corporate or limited liability company proceedings on the part of Parent or the Buyer are, or will be, necessary to approve and authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transactions.  The Transaction Documents to which Parent or the Buyer is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Parent and the Buyer, as applicable, and are legal, valid and binding obligations of Parent and the Buyer, as applicable, enforceable against Parent and the Buyer, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions.  Subject to receipt of the Required Parent Stockholder Extension Approval, Parent has full corporate power and authority to enter into and perform the respective obligations under the Extension Documents to which Parent is a party and to consummate the Extension and the transactions contemplated thereby and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent are, or will be, necessary to approve and authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Extension Documents and the consummation of the Extension.

(b)           The Parties shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, treat the taxable period of the Company and its Subsidiaries as ending at the close of business on the Closing Date.  For purposes of this Agreement, Company Taxes incurred with respect to a taxable period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, shall be allocated to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date (i) except as provided in (ii) and (iii) below, to the extent feasible, on a specific identification basis, according to the date of the event or transaction giving rise to the Tax, (ii) except as provided in (iii) below, with respect to periodically assessed ad valorem Taxes and Taxes not otherwise feasibly allocable to specific transactions or events, in proportion to the number of days in such period occurring before the Closing Date compared to the total number of days in such period, and (iii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, in an amount equal to the Tax that would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended at the close of business on the Closing Date.  All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practices of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
 
(c)           The Members’ Representative, the Members, the Company and the Buyer shall cooperate, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party hereto in connection the preparation and filing of Tax Returns as provided herein and any Proceeding with respect to Taxes and preparation of financial statements.  Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Proceeding with respect to Taxes and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  The Members’ Representative, the Buyer and the Company shall, and the Company shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) retain all books and records with respect to Company Taxes (including Tax Returns) relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including waivers and extensions) for assessment of Taxes to which such books and records are relevant and (ii) give the other Parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if another Party so requests, allow such other Party to take possession of or copy such books and records.

(e)           Any Party who receives any notice of a pending or threatened Tax Proceeding against or with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may give rise to Liability of another Party hereto, shall promptly notify such other Party after receipt of such notice; provided, however, that any failure on the part of the Buyer to so notify the Members’ Representative shall not limit any of the obligations of any of the Members or the Members’ Representative, or any of the rights of any Indemnified Party, under Article IX (except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such failure increases the costs or liability of the Indemnifying Party under Article IX).  The Parties each agree to consult with and to keep the other Parties hereto informed on a regular basis regarding the status of any Tax Proceeding to the extent that such Proceeding could affect a Liability of such other Parties (including indemnity obligations hereunder).  The Parent shall have the right to control all Tax Proceedings relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except that in the event such Tax Proceeding pertains to items reportable on income Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any of the Members) for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, the Members’ Representative shall have the right to conduct any such Tax Proceeding through counsel of the Members’ Representative’ choice in the same manner, and subject to the same limitations, as provided in Sections 9.2(a) and 9.2(b); provided, however, that the Parent shall be entitled to participate in any Tax Proceeding conducted by the Members’ Representative, at Parent’s sole expense, and the Members’ Representative may not settle or compromise any such Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  Neither Parent, the Buyer nor the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any agreement with the relevant Taxing Authority pertaining to such income Tax Proceeding conducted by the Members’ Representative without the written consent of the Members’ Representative, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed.  To the extent not inconsistent with this Section 6.5, the provisions of Article IX shall govern the manner in which Tax Proceedings are conducted and resolved.

9.2           Indemnification Procedures.
 
(a)           In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any Proceeding (whether against an Indemnified Party or against any other Person) with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such Proceeding on its own (subject to the exceptions set forth in this Section 9.2(a)).  The election by the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim shall constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party, as between it and the Indemnified Party, of the right to dispute the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in connection therewith, subject to the limitations set forth herein.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim the defense of which has been assumed by the Indemnifying Party and to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party, it being agreed, subject to the following sentence, that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense and shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if (i) the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, (ii) the named parties (including any impleaded parties) to a Proceeding in connection therewith include both the Indemnified Party (or any of its Related Persons) and the Indemnifying Party (or any of its Related Persons) and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, in consultation with counsel, that there is a conflict of interest between it and the Indemnifying Party (or any of its Related Persons), (iii) such Third Party Claim involves a charge of criminal liability, (iv) the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that the Damages which are reasonably likely to be incurred as a result of such Third Party Claim would exceed the remaining amount available under the limitation set forth in Section 9.4(b), (v) the Third Party Claim seeks, in addition to or in lieu of monetary damages, specific performance or any injunctive or other equitable relief; (vi) the Third Party Claim directly involves a material customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any Governmental Authority, (vii) an insurance carrier requires, as a condition to an Indemnified Party’s eligibility to recover insurance proceeds on account of such Third Party Claim, that such carrier control the defense of such Third Party Claim (and such defense is controlled by such carrier), (viii) the Indemnifying Party is not reasonably, diligently and in good faith conducting a defense of the Third Party Claim or (ix) if the Indemnified Parties include a Buyer Indemnified Party, the Third Party Claim involves a Proceeding contemplated by Section 6.5(e) to be controlled by Parent; then, in any such case, following written notice to the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume the defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and expenses of one separate counsel (together with one local counsel) selected by the Indemnified Party to represent the Indemnified Party in connection therewith.
 
(b)           The Indemnifying Party shall not effect, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim unless the same (x) involves an unconditional release of all claims against the Indemnified Party in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (y) is limited to the payment of monetary damages by the Indemnifying Party and (z) does not include any statement or admission as to fault, culpability, or failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnified Party effects any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, the amount of such settlement or compromise shall not be determinative of any Damages payable by the Indemnifying Party hereunder.
 
 
71

 
 
(c)           If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the review, investigation and defense of any such claim, and shall, upon reasonable prior written notice and during normal business hours, in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere in any material respect with normal business operations, make available its personnel, and provide such access to its books and records as is reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party, as applicable, in connection therewith.
 
(d)           In the event that any Indemnified Party desires to seek indemnification under this Article IX, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, which shall state the basis for such indemnification claim and, to the extent known or reasonably calculable, an estimate and calculation of the amount of Damages resulting therefrom; provided, however, that any failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of any of the Indemnifying Party or any of the rights of any Indemnified Party, under this Article IX (except to the extent, and only to the extent, that such failure adversely prejudices the Indemnifying Party).  If the Indemnifying Party disputes a claim for indemnification or any portion thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing (which writing shall set forth the grounds for such objection) within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of notice of such claim for indemnification, whereupon the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall meet and attempt in good faith to resolve their differences with respect to such claim or any portion of such claim for indemnification.  If the dispute has not been resolved within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s notice of such dispute, either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party may proceed with pursuing the remedies provided herein to resolve such dispute.  In the event that no written notice disputing or objecting to such claim or any portion of such claim for indemnification is delivered by the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the ten (10) Business Days in which the Indemnifying Party may dispute such claim for indemnification, the claim(s) stated by the Indemnified Party shall be conclusively deemed to be approved by the Indemnifying Party.
 
(e)           All Damages indemnifiable hereunder shall be payable by the Indemnifying Party to the Company in cash; provided, that, (A) if the Specified Members are the Indemnifying Party, then at the election of the Indemnifying Party by written notice to the Indemnified Party, the amount of any Damages indemnifiable under Section 9.1(b)(i), 9.1(b)(iii), 9.1(b)(iv) and 9.1(b)(v), as applicable, (excluding any Damages resulting from a Willful Breach) may be satisfied by adjusting the Schedule of Members (as defined in the Buyer LLC Agreement) to reflect the cancellation of the number of Buyer Units held by the Specified Members, and (B) if Parent and the Buyer are the Indemnifying Party, then in all cases the amount of any Damages indemnifiable under Section 9.1(a), shall be satisfied by adjusting the Schedule of Members (as defined in the Buyer LLC Agreement) to reflect the issuance of the number of Buyer Units to the Specified Members, in each case representing the right to convert into a number of shares of Parent Common Stock that, when valued at the VWAP, has a value equal to the amount of such indemnifiable Damages, and, in accordance with Article IV of the Third Amended and Restated Parent Certificate and the Buyer LLC Agreement, Parent shall cancel Class B Parent Shares held by the Specified Members or issue Class B Parent Shares to the Specified Members, as applicable (and Parent shall cancel and/or issue certificates representing such Class B Parent Shares as needed to evidence such issuances or cancellations of such Class B Parent Shares), such that the number of Class B Parent Shares held by a Member at all times equals the number of Buyer Units held by such Member.
 
 
72

 
 
(f)           Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no exercise of, nor failure to exercise, the rights set forth in this Section 9.2 shall constitute an election of remedies or limit such Indemnified Party’s other rights hereunder or otherwise.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the aggregate liability of a Specified Member under, or related to, this Agreement shall in no event exceed such Specified Member’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Base Company Value, (ii) except with respect to a breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by a Specified Member in Article IV or a failure of such Specified Member to perform a covenant or agreement applicable to such Specified Member, no Specified Member shall have any liability in excess of his, her or its Pro Rata Percentage of any Damages recoverable under Section 9.1(b), and (iii) no Specified Member shall have any liability for any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any other Specified Member in Article IV or a failure of any other Specified Member to perform a covenant or agreement applicable to such other Specified Member.  The term “Pro Rata Percentage” means with respect to each Specified Member, the proportion of the number of issued and outstanding Company Units held by such Specified Member immediately prior to the Closing as compared to the total number of Company Units held by all Specified Members immediately prior to the Closing.  Nothing in this Section 9.2(f) shall prevent or prohibit a Party from seeking and/or obtaining specific performance or any other equitable remedy in accordance with Section 12.3.  Any cash payment required under this Section shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the payee.
 
9.3           Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  Each covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and be enforceable until such covenant or agreement has been fully performed.  All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, and shall thereafter expire.  The limitations on survival set forth in this Section 9.3 shall not apply to (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a) (Organization and Corporate Power), 3.2 (Authority for Agreement), 3.3 (No Violation to Result), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.10 (Taxes), 3.26 (Brokers), 4.1 (Authority for Agreement), 4.2 (No Violation to Result), 4.3 (Ownership), 4.6 (Brokers), 5.1 (Organization), and 5.2 (Authority for Agreement), 5.3 (No Violation to Result), 5.5 (Capitalization), and 5.13 (Taxes), all of which shall survive until sixty (60) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.16 (Anti-Corruption Laws; Certain Regulatory Matters), which shall survive until the date six (6) years from the Closing Date, (c) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 3.14 (Government Contracts and Bids) and Section 3.18 (Environmental and Safety Matters), which shall survive until the date three (3) years from the Closing Date or (d) claims based on criminal matters, fraud or Willful Breach, which shall survive without limitation.  No claim may be made for indemnification hereunder for breach of any representations, warranties or covenants after the expiration of the survival period applicable to such representation, warranty and covenant set forth above; provided that, any representation, warranty or covenant with respect to which a claim has been made for a breach thereon prior to any of the foregoing dates shall, only with respect to such claim, survive until such claim is resolved.
 
 
73

 
 
9.4           Limitations on Indemnification.
 
(a)           An Indemnifying Party shall have no liability to indemnify for Damages pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) or 9.1(b)(i), as applicable, unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages for all claims asserted by the Indemnified Party exceeds Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($800,000) (the “Deductible”); provided, however, that after the amount of such Damages exceeds the Deductible, all such Damages in excess of the Deductible shall, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article IX, be recoverable by the Indemnified Parties; provided, further, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a) (Organization and Corporate Power), 3.2 (Authority for Agreement), 3.3 (No Violation to Result), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.10 (Taxes), 4.1 (Authority for Agreement), 4.2 (No Violation to Result), 4.3 (Ownership), 5.1 (Organization), 5.2 (Authority for Agreement), 5.3 (No Violation to Result), 5.5 (Capitalization), 5.6 (Listing), 5.7 (Trust Fund) and 5.13 (Taxes) or (ii) claims based on fraud or Willful Breach, with respect to which, in each case, all Damages in connection therewith shall be recoverable from the first dollar and shall be counted in determining whether the thresholds in this Section 9.4(a) have been exceeded.  For purposes of determining the amount of any Damages with respect to (but not for purposes of determining the existence of) any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant for purposes of indemnification under this Article IX, any qualification or limitation of a representation, warranty or covenant by reference to materiality of matters stated therein or as to matters having or not having “Material Adverse Effect,” “materiality” or words of similar effect, shall be disregarded.
 
(b)           The indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(i) or 9.1(b)(i), as applicable, shall be limited to an amount equal to 15% of the Base Company Value (the “Cap”); provided (i) that to the extent that any Damages indemnifiable under Section 9.1(b)(i) with respect to the breach of Section 3.14 (Government Contracts and Bids) are otherwise precluded by the Cap, such Damages, up to an aggregate amount equal to 50% of the Base Company Value (which for avoidance of doubt shall include and not be in addition to the amount of the Cap that would otherwise be applicable), shall not be so limited by this sentence, and (ii) that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1(a) (Organization and Corporate Power), 3.2 (Authority for Agreement), 3.3 (No Violation to Result), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.10 (Taxes), 4.1 (Authority for Agreement), 4.2 (No Violation to Result), 4.3 (Ownership), 5.1 (Organization), 5.2 (Authority for Agreement), 5.3 (No Violation to Result), 5.5 (Capitalization), 5.6 (Listing), 5.7 (Trust Fund) and 5.13 (Taxes), which shall be limited to an amount equal to the Base Company Value, or (iii) claims based on fraud or Willful Breach, which shall not be limited in amount.

74

 
 
9.5           Mitigation, etc.
 
(a)           The Indemnified Party shall, and is obligated to, take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate all indemnifiable Damages upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Damages hereunder, and the Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to seek recovery under all available insurance policies covering any Damages for which such Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification; provided, however, that that exhaustion of all such efforts by the Indemnified Party shall not be a precondition to recovery of Damages by such Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article IX; provided, further, that if the Indemnified Party is a Buyer Indemnified Party, then such Buyer Indemnified Party shall not be liable for any failure to comply with its obligations under this sentence to the extent that the Members (A) act to prevent or materially impede Parent or the Buyer, as applicable, from complying, or (B) who are officers of Parent or Buyer, fail to take the steps reasonably required hereunder to mitigate such damages unless otherwise instructed by the Parent Board or such steps are not within their scope of authority.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Buyer Indemnified Party be obligated to seek indemnification or otherwise recover any amounts from (nor shall the Members be subrogated to the rights of Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Buyer Indemnified Party) a material customer or supplier of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  No Indemnified Party shall be obligated to commence or threaten to commence a Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.5 unless the Indemnifying Party (i) shall have reasonably requested in writing that the Indemnified Party commence such Proceeding, (ii) acknowledges in writing that it is liable for all costs and expenses of such Proceeding and (iii) pays all such costs and expenses as and when incurred in connection with pursuing such Proceeding; it being acknowledged and agreed that, if the Indemnifying Party fails to pay all such costs and expenses as and when incurred, the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to continue to pursue such Proceeding.
 
(b)           The amount of any Damages indemnifiable under this Article IX shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the Indemnified Party under insurance policies, third party indemnities or other collateral sources with respect to such Damages.  In the event any amounts recovered from such sources are not received before a claim for indemnification is paid pursuant to this Article IX then the amount of such recovery shall be applied first, to reimburse the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, on a pro rata basis, for any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) expended by them in pursuing such recovery or defending any claims arising therefrom, second, to refund any payments made by the Indemnifying Party which would not have been so paid had such recovery been obtained prior to such payment (taking into account the first sentence of this Section 9.5(b)) and, third, any excess to the Indemnified Party.
 
 
75

 
 
(c)           The amount of Damages with respect to which an Indemnified Party is to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement shall initially be determined without regard to any Tax benefit or Tax detriment, and the indemnification payment shall be made on such basis.  To the extent, however, that the Indemnified Party recognizes a Tax benefit or Tax detriment with respect to any Damages for which payment is made hereunder, after taking into account the Tax effect, if any, of such indemnification (the “Net Tax Effect”), the Indemnified Party (in the case of a Tax benefit) or the Indemnifying Party (in the case of a Tax detriment) shall pay to the Indemnifying Party (in the case of a Tax benefit) or the Indemnified Party (in the case of a Tax detriment) the amount of such Net Tax Effect at such time or times as and to the extent such Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as applicable, or any of their Affiliates realizes such Net Tax Effect through a refund, reduction or increase in Tax otherwise payable, calculated by computing the amount of Tax with and without taking into account any Tax items attributable to such Damages and the indemnification payment with respect to such Damages.
 
(d)           The Indemnifying Party shall have no right of subrogation, reimbursement or similar right against any Person with respect to such Indemnifying Party’s obligations under this Agreement.  Each Party hereby irrevocably waives all such rights, and agrees not to institute any Proceedings against any other Person with respect to the same.
 
9.6           Waiver, Release and Discharge.  Effective as of the Closing, except for any rights, obligations or claims arising under any Transaction Document, each of the Members, in each case for itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives, releases and discharges (i) Parent, the Buyer and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and employees (determined in each case prior to the consummation of the Transaction) and (ii) the Company, its Subsidiaries and their employees (other than the Members) from any and all Liabilities and obligations to such Member of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether as a member, option holder, officer, director or Company Employee or otherwise (including in respect of rights of contribution or indemnification), in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown at law or equity, or otherwise and which are based on acts, events or omissions occurring up to and including the Closing; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that this Section 9.6 does not apply to, and shall not constitute a waiver, release or discharge of, (i) to the extent that such releasing party is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, such releasing party’s right to any salary or wages, and entitlements to employee expense reimbursements and contributions to Benefit Plans, in each case to the extent accrued, earned or otherwise due to such releasing Party prior to the Closing and (ii) the releasing party’s or its Affiliates’ rights in connection with any matter listed on Schedule 7.6(d)(ii) or Schedule 6.10.
 
9.7           Members’ Representative.
 
(a)           Each of the Members designates Benjamin Scott Terry and John G. Gulbin III as such Member’s representative (acting together, or either of them acting individually, the “Members’ Representative”) for purposes of this Agreement, and Benjamin Scott Terry and John G. Gulbin III each agrees to act as the Members’ Representative as set forth herein.  Each of the Members and each of their respective successors shall be deemed to have approved, and shall be bound by, any and all actions taken by the Members’ Representative on their behalf under or otherwise relating to this Agreement and the Transactions as if such actions were expressly ratified and confirmed by each of them.  In the event that the Members’ Representative is unable or unwilling to serve or shall resign, a successor Members’ Representative shall be selected by the holders of a majority of the Acquired Units outstanding immediately prior to the Closing.  A Members’ Representative may not resign, except upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Buyer.  In the event of a notice of proposed resignation, or any death, disability or other replacement of a Members’ Representative, a successor, if needed, shall be appointed effective immediately thereafter, and the Buyer shall be notified promptly of such appointment by such successor Members’ Representative.  No resignation, nor any other replacement, of any Members’ Representative is effective against the Buyer until selection of a successor and prior written notice to the Buyer of such selection.  Each successor Members’ Representative shall have all of the power, rights, authority and privileges hereby conferred upon the original Members’ Representative.

ARTICLE XI
 
TRUST FUND WAIVER
 
11.1          Trust Fund Waiver.  Reference is made to the final prospectus of Parent dated December 13, 2012 (File No. 333-177280) (the “Prospectus”).  Each of the Seller Parties warrants and represents, jointly and severally, that such Seller Party has read the Prospectus and understands that Parent has established the Trust Fund containing the proceeds of the IPO initially in the amount of at least Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) for the benefit of Parent’s public stockholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that Parent may disburse monies from the Trust Fund, including any proceeds therefrom, only as provided in the Prospectus.  For and in consideration of Parent agreeing to enter into this Agreement, each of the Seller Parties agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement, such Seller Party does not now have, and shall not at any time prior to the Closing have, any claim to, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund or any asset contained therein, regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, the business relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Parent, on the other hand, this Agreement or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability.  Each of the Seller Parties (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries and members, and its and their respective successors and assigns, and any Person claiming by or through such Seller Party) hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights, titles, interests and claims of any kind that such Seller Party may have, now or in the future (in each case, however, prior to the consummation of a business combination), and shall not take any action or suit, make any claim or demand or seek recovery of any Liability or recourse against, the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof.  Each of the Seller Parties agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Parent to induce it to enter into this Agreement.  Each of the Seller Parties further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable Law.  To the extent that any of the Seller Parties or the Members’ Representative commences any action or Proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Parent, which Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Parent, each of the Seller Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees such Seller Party’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Fund and that such claim shall not permit such Seller Party (or any party claiming on such Seller Party’s behalf or in lieu of such Seller Party) to have any claim against the Trust Fund or any amounts contained therein.  In the event that any Seller Party or the Members’ Representative commences any action or Proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Parent, which Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Fund or Parent’s public stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Parent shall be entitled to recover from such Seller Party or the Members’ Representative, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, in the event Parent prevails in such action or Proceeding.

ARTICLE XII
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
12.1          Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Seller Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Party may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Buyer and the Members’ Representative.  Any such purported assignment without such prior written consent shall be void and of no force or effect.
 
12.2          Governing Law.  All disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall in all respects be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.
 
12.3          Specific Performance; Remedies.
 
(a)           Each Party acknowledges that the other Parties shall be irreparably harmed and that there shall be no adequate remedy at Law for any violation or breach, or threatened breach, by any of them of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by a Party hereto, including such Party’s failure to take all actions as are necessary on such Party’s part in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to consummate the Transactions, would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone.  It is accordingly agreed, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, that, subject to Section 12.3(b), in addition to, but not in lieu of, any other remedies that may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements (including monetary Damages), each Party shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to obtain specific performance of, the other Parties’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.  Each Party hereby agrees (i) to waive the defense in any such suit that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at law, (ii) not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the other Parties under this Agreement, and (iii) to waive any requirement to post any bond, in each case, in connection with obtaining such relief.  All rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or applicable Law.
 
 
80

 
 
(b)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including Section 12.3(a)), the Parties explicitly agree that no Seller Party, on the one hand, and neither Parent nor the Buyer, on the other hand, shall be entitled to seek an injunction or other form of specific performance or equitable relief described in Section 12.3(a), to cause (x) the Closing to be consummated or (y) the Per Company Unit Consideration to be issued, unless each of the following conditions has been satisfied:
 
(i)            all of the conditions set forth in Article VII and Article VIII shall have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions shall be capable of being satisfied); and
 
(ii)           Parent and the Buyer or the Seller Parties, as applicable, are required to complete the Closing pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and fail to complete the Closing in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
12.4          Severability.  Each section, subsection and lesser section of this Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct undertaking, covenant and/or provision hereof.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall finally be determined to be unlawful, such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, but every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that the Parties will attempt in good faith to agree to replace such unlawful provision with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other potential purposes of such unlawful provision.
 
12.5          Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of a written instrument signed by the Buyer and the Members’ Representative.
 
12.6          Waiver.  Either Parent and the Buyer, on the one hand, or any Seller Party or the Members’ Representative, on the other hand, may to the extent permitted by applicable Law (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Seller Parties, the Members’ Representative or Parent and the Buyer, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties, the Members’ Representative or Parent and the Buyer, as applicable, contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the Seller Parties, the Members’ Representative or Parent and the Buyer, as applicable, contained herein.  No such extension or waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party extending the time of performance or waiving any such inaccuracy or non-compliance.  No waiver by any Party of any term of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term of this Agreement on any future occasion.
 
 
81

 
 
12.7          Notices.  All notices, requests, consents, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) if personally delivered, upon delivery or refusal of delivery, (b) if mailed by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, upon delivery or refusal of delivery, (c) if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, upon delivery or refusal of delivery, or (d) if sent by facsimile or electronic mail, upon confirmation of delivery.  All notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be addressed as follows:

12.8          Expenses.  Without limiting the effect of Article IX, all Expenses of the Parties shall be borne by the Person incurring such Expense, except that if the Transactions are consummated, the Company shall pay all Expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, Parent, the Members and the Members’ Representative, including any broker fees and expenses.
 
12.9          Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Service of Process.  The Parties agree that any proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement, prior to the Closing, shall be brought in any Chancery Court of the State of Delaware, provided, that if (and only after) such courts determine that they lack subject matter jurisdiction over any such legal action, suit or proceeding, such legal action, suit or proceeding shall be brought in the Federal courts of the United States located in the State of Delaware.  Each Party hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in Delaware; (b) waives, and agrees not to assert, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of, or any objection to the laying of venue in, any such courts or that such action has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum; and (c) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s address as provided herein shall be effective with respect to any matter for which it has submitted to jurisdiction hereby.  The foregoing shall not constitute a general consent to service of process and shall have no effect for any purpose except as set forth in this Section 12.9.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.  Each Party (x) certifies that no Representative of the other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (y) acknowledges that it and the other Party has been induced to enter into the agreements contemplated hereby by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements and certifications in this Section 12.9.
 
 
83

 
 
12.10       Arbitration.
 
(a)           Except as set forth in Section 12.3, Section 12.9 and Section 12.10(d) hereof, any dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising in connection with or related or incidental to, or question occurring under, this Agreement or the subject matter hereof after the Closing shall be finally settled under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), unless otherwise agreed, by an arbitral tribunal composed of three (3) arbitrators, at least one (1) of whom shall be an attorney experienced in corporate transactions, appointed by agreement of the Buyer and the Members’ Representative in accordance with said Rules.  In the event the Buyer and the Members’ Representative fail to agree upon a panel of arbitrators from the first list of potential arbitrators proposed by the AAA, the AAA will submit a second list in accordance with such Rules.  In the event the Buyer and the Members’ Representative shall have failed to agree upon a full panel of arbitrators from such second list, any remaining arbitrators to be selected shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with such Rules.  If at the time of the arbitration the Buyer and the Members’ Representative agree in writing to submit the dispute to a single arbitrator, such single arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement of the Buyer and the Members’ Representative in connection with the foregoing procedure or failing such agreement by the AAA in accordance with such Rules.  All arbitrators shall be neutral arbitrators and subject to Rule 19 of the Rules.
 
(b)           The arbitrators shall apply the Laws of the State of Delaware, shall not have the authority to add to, detract from, or modify any provision hereof and shall not award punitive damages to any injured Party or to the Members’ Representative.  A decision by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding.  The arbitrators shall deliver a written and reasoned award with respect to the dispute to each of the parties to the dispute, difference, controversy or claim, who shall promptly act in accordance therewith.  Any arbitration Proceeding shall be held in the State of Delaware.
 
(c)           The arbitration Proceedings conducted pursuant hereto shall be confidential.  No Party shall disclose any information about the arbitration Proceedings or the evidence adduced by the other Parties in any arbitration Proceeding or about documents provided by the other Parties in connection with the Proceeding except in the course of a judicial, regulatory or arbitration Proceeding or as may be requested by a Governmental Authority or as required or advisable under Law or exchange rules.  Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, the Party intending to make such disclosure shall give the other Parties reasonable written notice of the intended disclosure.  The Parties shall sign, and the arbitrator, expert witnesses and stenographic reporters shall be asked to sign, appropriate non-disclosure agreements or orders in order to effectuate this Agreement of the Parties as to confidentiality.
 
(d)           The Parties hereby exclude any right of appeal to any court on the merits of the dispute.  The provisions of this Section 12.10 may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the award or any of the Parties or any of their respective assets, and judgment on the award (including equitable remedies) granted in any arbitration hereunder may be entered in any such court.  Nothing contained in this Section 12.10 shall prevent any Party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the need to resort to arbitration.
 
12.11        Complete Agreement.  This Agreement, the Transaction Documents and the other documents expressly referred to herein, including all appendices, exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other documents of even date herewith, embody the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the Parties, written or oral, that may have related to the subject matter hereof (including, for avoidance of doubt, the Confidential Term Sheet executed by the Parties or their related entities on January 28, 2014 and the Non-Disclosure Agreement).  Notwithstanding the right of a Party to investigate the assets, properties, books, records and financial condition of the other Party, and notwithstanding any knowledge obtained or obtainable by such Party as a result of such investigation, such Party has the unqualified right to rely upon, and has relied upon, each of the representations and warranties made by the other Party in this Agreement or pursuant hereto.  No information or knowledge obtained or capable of being obtained in any investigation by a Party (or in any list, certificate, schedule or other instrument, document, agreement or writing furnished or to be furnished to or made pursuant hereto) shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the other Parties contained herein or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties to consummate the Transactions.  No claim by a Party in connection with this Agreement shall be adversely affected by any investigation by or opportunity to investigate afforded to such Party, nor shall such a claim be adversely affected by such Party’s knowledge on or before the Closing Date of any breach or of any state of facts that may give rise to such a breach.  The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not adversely affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations.
 
 
84

 
 
12.12        Absence of Third Party Beneficiary Rights.  Except for Article IX (which shall be for the benefit of the Indemnified Parties) and Section 6.18, no provision of this Agreement is intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, Affiliate, member, option holder, employee or partner of any Party or any other Person.
 
12.13        Mutual Drafting.  This Agreement is the mutual product of the Parties, and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of each of the Parties, and shall not be construed for or against any Party, but according to the application of the rules of interpretation of contracts.
 
12.14        Further Representations.  Each Party acknowledges and represents that it has been represented by its own legal counsel in connection with the Transactions, with the opportunity to seek advice as to its legal rights from such counsel.  Each Party further represents that it is being independently advised as to the Tax or securities consequences of the Transactions and is not relying on any representations or statements made by any other Party as to such Tax and securities consequences.
 
12.15        Interpretation.  The headings in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.  Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, where appropriate the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine or neuter, and vice versa, to the extent necessary to give the terms defined herein and/or the terms otherwise used in this Agreement the proper meanings.  The words “including,” “include” or “includes” shall mean including without limitation.  Any reference in this Agreement to a statute shall be to such statute, as amended from time to time, and to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  When reference is made in this Agreement to an Exhibit, Appendix, Article, Section or subsection, such reference shall be to an Exhibit, Appendix, Article, Section or subsection to or of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  Any document posted to the data site maintained by the Company on or prior to the date hereof shall be deemed to have been delivered to Parent and the Buyer for purposes of this Agreement.
 
 
85

 
 
12.16        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute the same agreement.  This Agreement and any document or schedule required hereby may be executed by electronic or facsimile signature, which shall be considered legally binding for all purposes.
 
12.17        Disclosure Schedules.  Certain information set forth in the Company Schedules and the Buyer Schedules (collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”) is provided solely for informational purposes and may not be required to be disclosed pursuant to this Agreement.  The disclosure of any information in the Disclosure Schedules shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed in connection with the representations and warranties made by the Parties in this Agreement, nor shall such information be deemed an admission of any liability of, or concession as to any defense available to, any Party.  The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement (or in any certificate delivered a party pursuant to Sections pursuant to Section 7.1, Section 7.2, Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, as the case may be) or the inclusion of any specific item in any Disclosure Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Disclosure Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.
 
12.18        Waiver of Conflicts.  Recognizing that Alston & Bird LLP has acted as legal counsel to the Members, their Affiliates and the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and that Alston & Bird LLP intends to act as legal counsel to the Members and their Affiliates after the Closing, each of Parent, the Buyer and the Company and each of its Subsidiaries waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Alston & Bird LLP representing the Members and/or their Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Parent, Buyer, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated herein(the “Engagement”).  In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between the Members, their Affiliates or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and Alston & Bird LLP in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions (the “Scope”) shall, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Members.  Accordingly, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have access to any such communications, or to the files of Alston & Bird LLP within the Scope, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, upon and after the Closing, (i) the Members and their Affiliates shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such communications and files within the Scope, and neither Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Alston & Bird LLP within the Scope constitute property of the client, only the Members and their Affiliates shall hold such property rights and (iii) Alston & Bird LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Alston & Bird LLP and any of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise relating to the Engagement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be afforded access to the communications and files within the Scope in connection with defending any Third Party Claims in which there is not a conflict of interest between the Members and Parent or the Buyer to the extent that such access would not jeopardize any attorney-client or other legal privilege, including the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product privilege.

Section 6.5   Headings.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
 
Section 6.6   Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.
 
Section 6.7   Entire Agreement; Assignment.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 6.13   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
 
Section 6.14   No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture.  This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship between the Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Company and the Members, on the other hand, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between or among the Parties hereto.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of authorized shares of any particular class may not be decreased below the number of shares of such class then outstanding plus, in the case of Class A Common Stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable in connection with (i) the exchange of Class B Common Stock and Units (as defined in Article XI) pursuant to the Tempus LLC Agreement (as defined in Article XI) and (ii) the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, exchange rights, conversion rights or similar rights for Class A Common Stock.
 
Section 4.2        Reclassification of Existing Common Stock. Upon this Amended and Restated Certificate becoming effective pursuant to the DGCL, each share of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, issued and outstanding or held in treasury, shall automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof be reclassified as and become one shares of Class A Common Stock.
 
Section 4.3        Preferred Stock.  The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board is hereby expressly authorized to provide for the issuance of shares of the Preferred Stock in one or more series and to establish from time to time the number of shares to be included in each such series and to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, if any, of each such series and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, as shall be stated in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board providing for the issuance of such series and included in a certificate of designations (a “Preferred Stock Designation”) filed pursuant to the DGCL, and the Board is hereby expressly vested with the authority to the full extent provided by law, now or hereafter, to adopt any such resolution or resolutions.

Section 4.4        Common Stock.
 
(a)            Voting Rights.
 
(1)       Each holder of Class A Common Stock, as such, will be entitled to one vote for each share of Class A Common Stock held of record by the holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote.
 
(2)       Each holder of Class B Common Stock, as such, will be entitled to one vote for each share of Class B Common Stock held of record by the holder on all matters on which stockholders are generally entitled to vote.
 
(3)       Except as otherwise required by the DGCL or this Amended and Restated Certificate, the holders of Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters (or, if any holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to vote together with the holders of Common Stock, as a single class with the holders of such Preferred Stock).
 
(4)       Except as otherwise required by law or this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation), at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, the holders of the Common Stock shall have the exclusive right to vote for the election of directors and on all other matters properly submitted to a vote of the stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise required by law or this Amended and Restated Certificate (including a Preferred Stock Designation), the holders of the Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any amendment to any Preferred Stock Designation) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of the Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation).
 
(b)            Dividends and Distributions.
 
(1)       Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock, the holders of the Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends and other distributions (payable in cash, property or capital stock of the Corporation) when, as and if declared thereon by the Board from time to time out of any assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, and shall share equally on a per share basis in such dividends and distributions.
 
(2)       Except as set forth in Section 4.4(b)(3) with respect to stock dividends, dividends and other distributions shall not be declared or paid on the Class B Common Stock.
 
(3)       In no event will any stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, combinations of stock, reclassifications or recapitalizations be declared or made on any Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, as the case may be, unless contemporaneously therewith (a) all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at the time outstanding are treated in the same proportion and the same manner and (b) the stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination of stock, reclassification or recapitalization has been reflected in the same economically equivalent manner with respect to all Units. Stock dividends with respect to Class A Common Stock may be paid only with Class A Common Stock. Stock dividends with respect to Class B Common Stock may be paid only with Class B Common Stock; provided, that the deemed transfer and retirement of shares of Class B Common Stock to the Corporation pursuant to Section 4.4(e)(3) shall not be a transaction subject to this Section 4.4(b)(3).
 
 
BB-3

 
 
(c)            Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.  Subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any outstanding series of the Preferred Stock, and to the rights of the holders of Class B Common Stock to exchange their shares of Class B Common Stock and Units for shares of Class A Common Stock in accordance with the Tempus LLC Agreement (or for the consideration payable in respect of shares of Class A Common Stock in such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up), in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, the holders of the Class A Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of the Class A Common Stock held by them.  Except as otherwise provided above with respect to the exchange rights of holders of the Class B Common Stock under the terms of the Tempus LLC Agreement, the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock, as such, will not be entitled to receive, with respect to such shares, any assets of the Corporation, in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation.
 
(d)            Transfer of Class B Common Stock.
 
(1)       A holder of Class B Common Stock may only transfer such Class B Common Stock (or a fraction thereof) to a transferee if the holder also transfers a corresponding number of Units to the transferee (as such number may be adjusted to reflect equitably any stock split, subdivision, combination or similar change with respect to the Units or Class B Common Stock).
 
(2)       Any purported transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock in violation of the restriction described in Section 4.4(d)(1) (the “Restriction”) shall be null and void. If, notwithstanding the foregoing prohibition, a person shall, voluntarily or involuntarily, purportedly become or attempt to become, the purported owner (“Purported Owner”) of shares of Class B Common Stock in violation of the Restriction, then the Purported Owner shall not obtain any rights in and to such shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Restricted Shares”), and the purported transfer of the Restricted Shares to the Purported Owner shall not be recognized by the Corporation’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”).
 
(3)      Upon a determination by the Board that a person has attempted or may attempt to transfer or to acquire Restricted Shares in violation of the Restriction, the Board may take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to such transfer or acquisition on the books and records of the Corporation, including without limitation to cause the Transfer Agent to maintain the Purported Owner’s transferor as the record owner of the Restricted Shares, and to institute proceedings to enjoin or rescind any such transfer or acquisition.
 
 
BB-4

 
 
(e)            Exchange.
 
(1)       Pursuant to the Tempus LLC Agreement, the holder of each Unit and share of Class B Common Stock will have the right to exchange such Unit and share of Class B Common Stock for one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of Class A Common Stock, on and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Tempus LLC Agreement.  In connection with the exercise of such exchange right, the Corporation shall issue the number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of Units and shares of Class B Common Stock surrendered by such holder (subject to the right of the holder to elect, with the consent of the Company, to receive the Cash Amount (as defined in the Tempus LLC Agreement) in lieu of the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock). The Corporation at all times shall have reserved for issuance upon exchange of Units a sufficient number of shares of Class A Common Stock as may from time to time be required for the exchange of all outstanding Units by the holders of shares of Class B Common Stock.
 
(2)       Any holder of Units who exercises the exchange right under the Tempus LLC Agreement (including any such exercise in which the holder offers to receive the Cash Amount in lieu of the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock) shall present and surrender, or cause to be presented and surrendered, to the Corporation, the certificate or certificates, if any, representing the number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the holder’s number of Units surrendered for exchange (either for shares of Class A Common Stock or the Cash Amount) during the Corporation’s normal business hours at any office or agency of the Corporation maintained for the transfer of Class B Common Stock.  If so required by the Corporation, any certificate for shares surrendered for cancellation shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation, duly executed by the holder of such shares or his, her or its duly authorized representative.
 
(3)       In case any certificate for shares of Class B Common Stock shall be surrendered for cancellation of only a portion of the shares represented thereby, the Corporation shall deliver at such office or agency of the Corporation maintained for the transfer of Class B Common Stock, to or upon the written order of the holder thereof, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Class B Common Stock represented by such surrendered certificate that are not being cancelled.
 
(4)       All shares of Class B Common Stock that shall have been surrendered for cancellation as herein provided shall be deemed to be retired and may be reissued only in connection with future issuances, if any, of Units, and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall thereupon cease and terminate.
 
(5)       If the number of Units held by any person is reduced pursuant to the terms of the Tempus LLC Agreement, including as a result of the exercise of exchange rights thereunder, the number of shares of Class B Common Stock owned by such person shall be simultaneously reduced (without duplication of any Class B Common Stock surrendered in connection with an exchange of Class B Common Stock and Units for Class A Common Stock) so that the number of shares of Class B Common Stock owned by such person does not exceed the number of Units then owned by such person, and the excess number of such shares over the number of Units owned by such person shall automatically and without further action on the part of the Corporation or any holder of Class B Common Stock be deemed to have been transferred to the Corporation and retired and all rights with respect to such shares, including the rights, if any, to receive notices and to vote, shall thereupon cease and terminate.  All shares of Class B Common Stock deemed transferred to the Corporation under this Section 4.4(e)(5) may be reissued only in connection with future issuances, if any, of Units.
 
 
BB-5

 
 
(f)             Legends.  All certificates or book entries representing shares of Class B Common Stock (or fractions thereof), as the case may be, shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS [CERTIFICATE][BOOK ENTRY] ARE SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS (INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER) SET FORTH IN THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION (A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION AND SHALL BE PROVIDED FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER MAKING A REQUEST THEREFOR).
 
(g)            Fractional Shares.  The Class B Common Stock may be issued and transferred in fractions of a share which shall entitle the holder to exercise voting rights and to have the benefit of all other rights of holders of Class B Common Stock. Subject to the Restriction, holders of shares of Class B Common Stock (or fractions thereof) shall be entitled to transfer fractions thereof and the Corporation shall, and shall cause any transfer agent with respect to the Class B Common Stock to, facilitate any such transfers, including by issuing certificates or making book entries representing any such fractional shares.
 
(h)            Transfer Taxes.  The issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock upon the exchange of Units under the terms of the Tempus LLC Agreement will be made without charge to the holders of the shares of Class B Common Stock for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of the issuance, unless any such shares of Class A Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that of the then record holder of the shares of Class B Common Stock being purchased, in which case the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof will pay to the Corporation the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or will establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation that the tax has been paid or is not payable.
 
Section 4.5        Rights and Options.  The Corporation has the authority to create and issue rights, warrants and options entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of any class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock or other securities of the Corporation, and such rights, warrants and options shall be evidenced by instrument(s) approved by the Board. The Board is empowered to set the exercise price, duration, times for exercise and other terms and conditions of such rights, warrants or options; provided, however, that the consideration to be received for any shares of capital stock subject thereto may not be less than the par value thereof.

(a)            The number of directors of the Corporation, other than those who may be elected by the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock voting separately by class or series, shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board; provided, that, for so long as the Orion Members (as such term is defined in the Tempus LLC Agreement, the “Orion Members”) hold at least 45% of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, the number of directors of the Corporation shall be 7 unless otherwise consented to by the holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation held by the Orion Members.

Section 5.3        Newly Created Directorships and Vacancies.  Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause may be filled solely by a majority vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (and not by stockholders), and any director so chosen shall hold office for the remainder of the full term of the class of directors to which the new directorship was added or in which the vacancy occurred and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified, subject, however, to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal; provided, that, any vacancy created by the removal of a director pursuant to Section 5.4 during the Specified Period may be filled by the stockholders of the Corporation holding a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporations entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.
 
Section 5.4        Removal.  Subject to Section 5.5 hereof, any or all of the directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class; provided, that, for so long as the Orion Members hold a majority of the voting power of all then outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (such period, the “Specified Period”), any or all of the directors may be removed from office without cause.
 
Section 5.5         Preferred Stock — Directors.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V, and except as otherwise required by law, whenever the holders of one or more series of the Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately by class or series, to elect one or more directors, the term of office, the filling of vacancies, the removal from office and other features of such directorships shall be governed by the terms of such series of the Preferred Stock as set forth in this Amended and Restated Certificate (including any Preferred Stock Designation) and such directors shall not be included in any of the classes created pursuant to this Article V unless expressly provided by such terms.

ARTICLE VIII
LIMITED LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION
 
Section 8.1        Limitation of Director Liability.  A director of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.
 
Section 8.2        Indemnification and Advancement of Expenses.
 
(a)            To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, the Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is or was made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “proceeding”) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, other enterprise or nonprofit entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (an “indemnitee”), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent, or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes and penalties and amounts paid in settlement) reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection with such proceeding. The Corporation shall to the fullest extent not prohibited by applicable law pay the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an indemnitee in defending or otherwise participating in any proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, to the extent required by applicable law, such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the proceeding shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 8.2 or otherwise. The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Section 8.2 shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.2(a), except for proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify and advance expenses to an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.
 
 
BB-9

 
 
(b)           The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred on any indemnitee by this Section 8.2 shall not be exclusive of any other rights that any indemnitee may have or hereafter acquire under law, this Amended and Restated Certificate, the Bylaws, an agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
 
(c)            Any repeal or amendment of this Section 8.2 by the stockholders of the Corporation or by changes in law, or the adoption of any other provision of this Amended and Restated Certificate inconsistent with this Section 8.2, shall, unless otherwise required by law, be prospective only (except to the extent such amendment or change in law permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights on a retroactive basis than permitted prior thereto), and shall not in any way diminish or adversely affect any right or protection existing at the time of such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision in respect of any proceeding (regardless of when such proceeding is first threatened, commenced or completed) arising out of, or related to, any act or omission occurring prior to such repeal or amendment or adoption of such inconsistent provision.
 
(d)            This Section 8.2 shall not limit the right of the Corporation, to the extent and in the manner authorized or permitted by law, to indemnify and to advance expenses to persons other than indemnitees.
 
ARTICLE IX
CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY
 
The doctrine of corporate opportunity, or any other analogous doctrine, shall not apply with respect to the Corporation or any of its officers or directors or in circumstances where the application of any such doctrine would conflict with any fiduciary duties or contractual obligations they may have currently or in the future.

(b)           If Units are certificated, the Manager shall direct that a new certificate representing one or more Units be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the Company alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon delivery to the Manager of an affidavit of the owner or owners of such certificate, setting forth such allegation. The Manager may require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of any such new certificate.

MANAGEMENT
 
5.1           Authority of Manager.
 
(a)           Except for situations in which the approval of any Member(s) is specifically required by this Agreement, (i) all management powers over the business and affairs of the Company shall be exclusively vested in one manager (the “Manager”) that shall be Parent (or its successor) and (ii) the Manager shall conduct, direct and exercise full control over all activities of the Company. The Manager shall be the “manager” of the Company for the purposes of the Delaware Act. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, the Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of all such powers and rights conferred on the Members by the Delaware Act with respect to the management and control of the Company.  Parent may not be removed as a Manager except as provided in Section 5.4. Any Manager that is properly removed pursuant to Section 5.4 shall be replaced in the manner provided in Section 5.4.
 
(b)           The day-to-day business and operations of the Company shall be overseen and implemented by officers of the Company (each, an “Officer” and collectively, the “Officers”), subject to the limitations imposed by the Manager. An Officer may, but need not, be a Member. Each Officer shall be appointed by the Manager and shall hold office until his or her successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until his or her death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any one Person may hold more than one office. Subject to the other provisions in this Agreement (including in Section 5.7 below), the salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager. The authority and responsibility of the Officers shall include, but not be limited to, such duties as the Manager may, from time to time, delegate to them and the carrying out of the Company’s business and affairs on a day-today basis.
 
(c)           In connection with the performance of its duties as the Manager, the Manager acknowledges that, in its capacity as Manager, it will owe to the Members (including Parent on behalf of its stockholders) the same fiduciary duties as it would owe to the stockholders of a Delaware corporation if it were a member of the board of directors of such a corporation and the Members were stockholders of such corporation.  The parties acknowledge that the Manager will take action by direction from its board of directors, and that the members of Parent’s board of directors will owe comparable fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Parent.  Parent will use all commercially reasonable and appropriate efforts and means to minimize any conflict of interest between the Members, on the one hand, and Parent’s stockholders, on the other hand, and to effectuate any transaction that involves or affects any of Parent, the Company, the Manager, the Members and/or Parent’s stockholders in a manner that does not (i) disadvantage the Members or their interests relative to those of Parent’s stockholders, (ii) disadvantage Parent’s stockholders or their interests relative to those of the Members or (iii) advantage Parent’s stockholders or their interests relative to those of the Members, or (iv) advantage the Members or their interests relative to those of Parent’s stockholders, except in each case, as would arise from the express provisions of this Agreement or as contemplated by the Equity Transfer and Acquisition Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, (A) Parent’s board of directors shall establish one or more committees composed entirely of independent directors with the authority to act on behalf of the board with respect to any matters relating to (i) any transaction between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and a Related Person, (ii) the enforcement of any rights or remedies of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Equity Transfer and Acquisition Agreement and the other documents contemplated thereby (including the Transaction Documents and the Employment Agreements, as defined therein), including the pursuit or defense of any claim for indemnification, and (iii) agreeing to any consent under, waiver of, or amendment to any of such agreements, and (B) Parent shall not avail itself of the “controlled company” exemption from certain corporate governance requirements under Nasdaq Rule 5615(c), even if Parent is eligible to do so.

(d)           entering into any agreement with respect to or consummating any acquisition by the Company or its Subsidiaries of any business or assets having a fair market value in excess of $5,000,000 taken as a whole, in any one transaction or series of related transactions, whether by purchase and sale, merger, consolidation, restructuring, recapitalization or otherwise;
 
(e)           changing the purpose of the Company, or the entering into of any materially different line of business or substantially changing the strategic business plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries from those in effect on the date hereof;
 
(f)           incurring any funded indebtedness (including the refinancing of any funded indebtedness) or repaying before due any funded indebtedness (other than a working capital revolving line of credit) with a fixed term in either case, in a single transaction or in two or more transactions (related or unrelated) in an aggregate amount in excess of $5,000,000 per year;

5.6           Delegation of Authority.  The Manager (a) may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons such authority and duties as the Manager may deem advisable, and (b) may assign titles (including, without limitation, chief executive officer, president, principal, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer, or assistant treasurer) and delegate certain authority and duties to such Persons as the same may be amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time. Any number of titles may be held by the same individual. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of such agents of the Company shall be fixed from time to time by the Manager, subject to the other provisions in this Agreement.
 
5.7           Limitation of Liability of Manager.  Except as otherwise provided herein or in an agreement entered into by such Person and the Company, neither the Manager nor any of the Manager’s Affiliates shall be liable to the Company or to any Member for any act or omission performed or omitted by the Manager in its capacity as the Manager of the Company pursuant to authority granted to the Manager by this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the duties and obligations of the Manager under the provisions of Section 5.1(c) hereof, and, except as otherwise provided herein, such limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent the act or omission was attributable to the Manager’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, knowing breach of this Agreement, or knowing violation of law. The Manager may exercise any of the powers granted to it by this Agreement and perform any of the duties imposed upon it hereunder either directly or by or through its agents, and shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent (so long as such agent was selected in good faith and with reasonable care). The Manager shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts, including financial advisors, and any act of or failure to act by the Manager in good faith reliance on such advice shall in no event subject the Manager to liability to the Company or any Member except to the extent Manager or its Affiliates received an improper personal benefit.

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF MEMBERS
 
6.1           Limitation of Liability of Members.
 
(a)           Except as provided in this Agreement or in the Delaware Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company and no Member (including without limitation, the Manager) shall be obligated personally for any such debts, obligation or liability solely by reason of being a Member or acting as the Manager of the Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, a Member’s liability (in its capacity as such) for Company liabilities and Losses shall be limited to the Company’s assets. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Members for liabilities of the Company.
 
(b)           In accordance with the Delaware Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, a Member may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such Member. It is the intent of the Members that no Distribution to any Member pursuant to ARTICLE IV shall be deemed a return of money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Delaware Act. The payment of any such money or Distribution of any such property to a Member shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Delaware Act, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any Member receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return any such money or property to the Company or any other Person. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Member.
 
6.2           Lack of Authority.  No Member, other than the Manager, in its capacity as such, has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the Company, to do any act that would be binding on the Company or to make any expenditure on behalf of the Company. The Members hereby consent to the exercise by the Manager of the powers conferred on them by law and this Agreement.
 
6.3           No Right of Partition.  No Member, other than the Manager, shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any Company property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the Company.
 
 
CC-17

 
 
6.4           Indemnification.
 
(a)           The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Person (each an “Indemnified Person”) to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware Act, as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, substituted or replaced (but, in the case of any such amendment, substitution or replacement only to the extent that such amendment, substitution or replacement permits the Company to provide broader indemnification rights than the Company is providing immediately prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, excise taxes or penalties) reasonably incurred or suffered by such Person (or one or more of such Person’s Affiliates) by reason of the fact that such Person is or was a Member or is or was serving as the Manager, Officer, principal, employee or other agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a manager, officer, director, principal, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise; provided, however, that no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified for any expenses, liabilities and losses suffered that are attributable to such Indemnified Person’s or its Affiliates’ gross negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violation of law or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Indemnified Person or its Affiliates contained herein.  Expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any such Indemnified Person in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, including any appeal therefrom, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.
 
(b)           The right to indemnification and the advancement of expenses conferred in this Section 6.4 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, agreement, by-law, action by the Manager or otherwise.
 
(c)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (including in this Section 6.4), any indemnity by the Company relating to the matters covered in this Section 6.4 shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only and no Member (unless such Member otherwise agrees in writing or is found in a final decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have personal liability on account thereof) shall have personal liability on account thereof or shall be required to make additional Capital Contributions to help satisfy such indemnity of the Company.
 
(d)           If this Section 6.4 or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Company shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person pursuant to this Section 6.4 to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section 6.4 that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
 
6.5           Members Right to Act.  For matters that require the approval of the Members, the Members shall act through meetings and written consents as described in paragraphs (a) and (b) below:
 
(a)           Except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement, the vote of Members (or a subset thereof) holding a majority of the Units (or a majority of the Units held by such subset), voting together as a single class, shall be the act of the Members (or subset thereof). Any Member entitled to vote at a meeting of Members or to express consent or dissent to Company action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for it by proxy. An electronic mail, telegram, telex, cablegram or similar transmission by the Member, or a photographic, photostatic, facsimile or similar reproduction of a writing executed by the Member shall (if stated thereon) be treated as a proxy executed in writing for purposes of this Section 6.5(a). No proxy shall be voted or acted upon after eleven (11) months from the date thereof, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be revocable unless the proxy form conspicuously states that the proxy is irrevocable and that the proxy is coupled with an interest. Should a proxy designate two or more Persons to act as proxies, unless that instrument shall provide to the contrary, a majority of such Persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or, if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, the Company shall not be required to recognize such proxy with respect to such issue if such proxy does not specify how the votes that are the subject of such proxy are to be voted with respect to such issue.
 
 
CC-18

 
 
(b)           The actions by the Members permitted hereunder may be taken at a meeting called by the Manager or by the Members holding a majority of the Units on at least 48 hours’ prior written notice to the other Members, which notice shall state the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is being called. Actions taken by the Members at any meeting (as opposed to by written consent), however called and noticed, shall be as valid as though taken at a meeting duly held after regular call and notice if (but not until), either before, at or after the meeting, the Members as to whom it was improperly held signs a written waiver of notice or a consent to the holding of such meeting or an approval of the minutes thereof. Actions by the Members may be taken by vote of the Members at a meeting or by written consent, so long as such consent is signed by Members having not less than the minimum number of Units that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members were present and voted. Prompt notice of the action so taken, which shall state the purpose or purposes for which such consent is required and may be delivered via email, shall be given to those Members who have not consented in writing; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the validity of the action taken by such written consent. Any action taken pursuant to such written consent of the Members shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the Members at a meeting thereof.
 
6.6           Inspection Rights.  The Company shall permit each Member and each of its designated representatives to (i) visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, all at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, (ii) examine the corporate and financial records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and make copies thereof or extracts therefrom, (iii) consult with the managers, officers, employees and independent accountants of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries concerning the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The presentation of an executed copy of this Agreement by any Member to the Company’s independent accountants shall constitute the Company’s permission to its independent accountants to participate in discussions with such Persons and their respective designated representatives.

All matters concerning (a) the determination of the relative amount of Distributions among the Members pursuant to ARTICLE IV and (b) accounting procedures and determinations, and other determinations not specifically and expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the Manager, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Members absent manifest clerical error.

ARTICLE IX
 
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF UNITS
 
9.1           Transfers by Members.  No holder of Units may Transfer any Units or any interest therein, except for Transfers (each, a “Permitted Transfer”) (a) to one or more Permitted Transferees, (b) in accordance with the provisions of Article X, (c) in the form of a pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of Units to the extent permitted by Section 4(a)(ii) of the Registration Rights Agreement or (d) approved in writing by the Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Transfer” shall not include an event that terminates the existence of a Member for income tax purposes (including, without limitation, a change in entity classification of a Member under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3, termination of a partnership pursuant to Code Section 708(b)(1)(B), a sale of assets by, or liquidation of, a Member pursuant to an election under Code Section 338, or merger, severance, or allocation within a trust or among sub-trusts of a trust that is a Member), but that does not terminate the existence of such Member under applicable state law.  In the event of any Permitted Transfer by an Orion Member, such Orion Members shall be required to also transfer the number of such Orion Member’s Class B Stock equal to the number of such Orion Member’s Units that were transferred in the transaction to such transferee.
 
 
CC-20

 
 
Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Parent and its Subsidiaries shall not Transfer any of the Units acquired by them other than to Parent or one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries.
 
9.2           Restricted Units Legend.  The Units have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, in addition to the other restrictions on Transfer contained in this Agreement, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is then available. To the extent such Units have been certificated, each certificate evidencing Units and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Units (if such securities remain Units as defined herein after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON [                   ], AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), AND, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SPECIFIED IN THE AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF THE TEMPUS GROUP HOLDINGS, LLC, AS MAY BE AMENDED AND MODIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND THE TEMPUS GROUP HOLDINGS, LLC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE THE TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES UNTIL SUCH CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED WITH RESPECT TO ANY TRANSFER. A COPY OF SUCH CONDITIONS SHALL BE FURNISHED BY THE TEMPUS GROUP HOLDINGS, LLC TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.”
 
The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates (if any) evidencing Units. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates (if any) evidencing any units which cease to be Units in accordance with the definition thereof.
 
9.3           Transfer.  Prior to Transferring any Units, the Transferring holder of Units shall cause the prospective Transferee to be bound by this Agreement and any other agreements executed by the holders of Units and relating to such Units in the aggregate (collectively, the “Other Agreements”), and shall cause the prospective Transferee to execute and deliver to the Company and the other holders of Units counterparts of this Agreement and any applicable Other Agreements. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Units in violation of any provision of this Agreement (including any prohibited indirect Transfers) (a) shall be void, and (b) the Company shall not record such Transfer on its books and shall only treat a purported Transferee of such Units as an Assignee thereof.
 
 
CC-21

 
 
9.4           Assignee’s Rights.
 
(a)           The Transfer of a Unit in accordance with this Agreement shall be effective as of the date of its assignment (assuming compliance with all of the conditions to such Transfer set forth herein), and such Transfer shall be shown on the books and records of the Company.  Distributions made before the effective date of such Transfer shall be paid to the transferor, and Distributions made after such date shall be paid to the Assignee.
 
(b)           Unless and until an Assignee becomes a Member pursuant to ARTICLE XI, the Assignee shall not be entitled to any of the rights granted to a Member hereunder or under applicable law, other than the rights granted specifically to Assignees pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that, without relieving the transferring Member from any such limitations or obligations as more fully described in Section 9.5, such Assignee shall be bound by any limitations and obligations of a Member contained herein that a Member would be bound on account of the Assignee’s membership interest in the Company (including the obligation to make Capital Contributions on account of such membership interest).
 
9.5           Assignor’s Rights and Obligations.  Any Member who shall Transfer any Units in a manner in accordance with this Agreement shall cease to be a Member with respect to such Units and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Member with respect to such Units (it being understood, however, that the applicable provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.4 shall continue to inure to such Person’s benefit), or any duties, liabilities or obligations, of a Member with respect to such Units, except that unless and until the Assignee (if not already a Member) is admitted as a Substituted Member in accordance with the provisions of ARTICLE XI (the “Admission Date”), such assigning Member shall retain all of the duties, liabilities and obligations of a Member with respect to such Units, and nothing contained herein shall relieve any Member who Transfers any Units from any liability of such Member to the Company with respect to such Units that may exist on the Admission Date or that is otherwise specified in the Delaware Act or for any liability to the Company or any other Person for any materially false statement made by such Member (in its capacity as such) or for any present or future breaches of any representations, warranties or covenants by such Member (in its capacity as such) contained herein or in any other agreement with the Company.

REDEMPTION AND EXCHANGE RIGHTS
 
10.1          Exchange of Units.
 
(a)           Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 10.1(d) and subject to Parent’s rights described in Section 10.1(g), each of the Members shall be entitled to exchange with Parent at any time and from time to time, any or all of such Member’s Units (and an equal number of shares of Class B Stock), as follows: one Unit (and one share of Class B Stock) will be exchangeable for one share of Class A Stock.  Each such exchange shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as a sale of the exchanging Member’s Units and Class B Stock to Parent in exchange for Class A Stock.
 
(b)           In order to exercise the exchange right under Section 10.1(a), the exchanging Member shall present and surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Units (if certificated) during usual business hours at the principal executive office of Parent accompanied by written notice (the “Exchange Notice”) to Parent and (if there is one) the Transfer Agent stating that the exchanging Member elects to exchange with Parent a stated number of Units represented, if applicable, by such certificate or certificates, to the extent specified in such notice, and (if the Class A Stock to be received is to be issued other than in the name of the exchanging Member) specifying the name(s) of the Person(s) in whose name or on whose order the Class A Stock is to be issued.
 
 
CC-23

 
 
(c)           If required by Parent, any certificate for Units (if certificated) surrendered for exchange with Parent shall be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, duly executed by the holder of such Units or such holder’s duly authorized representative.  As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and the surrender to the Transfer Agent (or Parent if no Transfer Agent exists) of the certificate or certificates, if any, representing such Units and shares of Class B Stock (but in any event by the Exchange Date, as defined below), Parent shall issue and deliver at such office to such holder, or on such holder’s written order, a certificate or certificates, if applicable, for the number of full shares of Class A Stock issuable upon such exchange.  Each exchange of Units and shares of Class B Stock shall be deemed to have been effected on (i) the Business Day after the date on which the Exchange Notice shall have been received by Parent or the Transfer Agent, as applicable (subject to receipt by Parent or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, within three (3) Business Days thereafter of any required instruments of transfer as aforesaid) or (ii) such later date specified in or pursuant to the Exchange Notice (such date identified in clause (i) or (ii), as applicable, the “Exchange Date”), and the Person or Persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for shares of Class A Stock (which certificates shall bear any legends as may be required in accordance with applicable Law) shall be issuable upon such exchange as aforesaid shall be deemed to have become, on the Exchange Date, the holder or holders of record of the shares represented thereby.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Member giving notice under Section 10.1(b) may withdraw or amend such exchange request, in whole or in part, prior to the effectiveness of the exchange, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Exchange Date (or any such later time as may be required by applicable Law) by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to Parent or the Transfer Agent, specifying (1) the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Units and shares of Class B Stock, (2) if any, the number of Units and shares of Class B Stock as to which the Exchange Notice remains in effect and (3) if the holder so determines, a new Exchange Date or any other new or revised information permitted in an Exchange Notice.  An Exchange Notice may specify that the exchange is to be contingent (including as to timing) upon the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, an underwritten offering or otherwise) of shares of the Class A Stock into which the Units and shares of Class B Stock are exchangeable, or contingent (including as to timing) upon the closing of an announced merger, consolidation or other transaction or event in which the Class A Stock would be exchanged or converted or become exchangeable for or convertible into cash or other securities or property or upon the closing or occurrence of any other event, in which case the exchange shall be consummated immediately prior to and contingent upon such closing or occurrence.
 
(d)           In the event one class or series of Parent Common Stock (the “Existing Securities”) is converted into another class or series of Parent Common Stock (the “New Securities”), then a Member otherwise entitled to receive Existing Securities upon exchange shall instead be entitled to receive on exchange the amount of the New Securities that such Member would have received if the exchange of Units and shares of Class B Stock had occurred immediately before the effective date of such event and the Existing Securities received by such Member had been converted into the New Securities.  No adjustments in respect of dividends or distributions on any Unit will be made on the exchange of any Unit, but if the Exchange Date with respect to a Unit occurs after the record date or date of entitlement pursuant to this Agreement for the payment of a dividend or other distribution on Units but before the date of the payment, then the registered Member holding the Unit at the close of business on the record date or such other date of entitlement will be entitled to receive the dividend or other distribution payable on the Unit on the payment date (without duplication of any other distribution to which such holder may be entitled) notwithstanding the exchange of the Unit or the default in payment of the dividend or distribution due on the Exchange Date
 
 
CC-24

 
 
(e)           Parent shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Equity Securities, solely for the purpose of issuance upon exchange of Units, such number of shares of Class A Stock that shall be issuable upon the exchange of all such outstanding Units; provided that nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Parent from satisfying its obligations in respect of the exchange of the Units for shares of Class A Stock by delivery of purchased shares of Class A Stock which are held in the treasury of Parent.  Parent covenants that all shares of Class A Stock that shall be issued upon exchange of Units shall, upon issuance thereof, be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free and clear of any lien or encumbrance (other than those arising under applicable securities laws
 
(f)           The issuance of Class A Stock upon exchange of Units shall be made without charge to the exchanging Members for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance; provided, however, that if any such shares are to be issued in a name other than that of the exchanging Member, then the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to Parent the amount of any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Manager that such tax has been paid or is not payable.
 
(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, but subject to Section 10.1(h), an exchanging Member may, in lieu of exchanging Units for Class A Stock, offer to sell all or a portion of such Member’s Units and Class B Stock as described in any particular Exchange Notice for the Cash Amount.  Upon the delivery of an Exchange Notice that includes an offer to sell for the Cash Amount, the Company shall have the option, exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion by delivery of a written notice (a “Cash Redemption Notice”), to elect to purchase for the Cash Amount all or a portion of the Units so offered.  Parent may, it is sole and absolute discretion, deliver written notice (a “Cash Election Notice”) in accordance with, and subject to the terms of, this Section 10.1(g), to elect to purchase for the Cash Amount all of such offered Units and shares of Class B Stock described in the Exchange Notice that the Company has not elected to purchase pursuant to a Cash Redemption Notice.  The Company and/or Parent shall each pay to the exchanging Member the portion of the Cash Amount (in immediately available funds) allocable to the Units to be purchased by it, whereupon the Company and/or Parent shall acquire the Units and Class B Stock offered for exchange by the exchanging Member and the Company and/or Parent shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as the owner of the number of such Units allocable to the portion of the Cash Amount paid by it.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not have an option to deliver a Cash Redemption Notice and Parent may not deliver a Cash Election Notice or otherwise elect to purchase the Units that are the subject of an Exchange Notice for the Cash Amount without such exchanging Member’s consent.  Any Class A Stock delivered to the exchanging Member in connection with such exchange shall comply with the provisions of Sections 10.1(e) and (f) above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any acquisition by Parent of Units and shares of Class B Stock that would otherwise be exchanged for shares of Class A Stock in connection with and sold in a Parent Offer shall be for the same amount and type of consideration that the Member would have received in such Parent Offer.  For purposes of this Section 10.1, “Cash Amount” means (A) only if the Exchange Notice for the relevant exchange provides that the exchange is to be contingent upon the consummation of a purchase by another Person (whether in a tender or exchange offer, underwritten offering or otherwise) of shares of the Class A Stock, the amount and type of cash or other property (or combination of types of property) to which the exchanging Member would be entitled to receive in such purchase; or (B) otherwise, the amount of cash per share of Class A Stock equal to the Volume Weighted Average Price of such share of Class A Stock on the date that the Exchange Notice is delivered to the Company.  Parent may only pay the Cash Amount from (i) proceeds of offerings of a number of shares of Class A Stock equal to the number of Units covered by such Exchange Notice or (ii) Distributions under Section 4.1.
 
 
CC-25

 
 
(h)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Disposition Event is approved and consummated in accordance with applicable Law, at the request of the Company (or following such Disposition Event, its successor) or Parent (or following such Disposition Event, its successor), each Member shall be required to exchange with Parent, at any time and from time to time after, or simultaneously with, the consummation of such Disposition Event, all of such Member’s Units and shares of Class B Stock as provided herein; provided that, in the event of a Disposition Event intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as a transfer described in Section 351(a) or Section 721 of the Code the Members shall not be required to exchange their Units and shares of Class B Stock in connection with such Disposition Event unless the holders (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) of Units are permitted to exchange their Units in a transaction that is expected to permit such exchange without current recognition of gain in excess of gain that would be recognized if their Units had been previously exchanged for Class A stock in a non-taxable transaction, based on a “should” or “will” level opinion from independent tax counsel of recognized standing and expertise. For the avoidance of doubt in connection with a Disposition Event, in no event shall the holders (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) of Units be entitled to receive aggregate consideration for each Unit that is greater or less than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Stock.
 
(i)           No exchange pursuant to this Section 10.1 shall impair the right of the exchanging Member to receive any Distributions payable on the Units so exchanged in respect of a record date or other date of entitlement pursuant to this Agreement that occurs prior to the Exchange Date for such exchange.  For the avoidance of doubt, no exchanging Member shall be entitled to receive both Distributions on Units exchanged by such Member and distributions on Parent Common Stock received by such Member in such exchange, in respect of a single record date.
 
10.2          Tender Offers and Other Events with Respect to Parent.  In the event that a tender offer, share exchange offer, issuer bid, take-over bid, recapitalization or similar transaction with respect to Class A Stock (a “Parent Offer”) is proposed by Parent or is proposed to Parent or its stockholders and approved by the board of directors of Parent or is otherwise effected or to be effected with the consent or approval of the board of directors of Parent, the holders (other than Parent) of Units and shares of Class B Stock shall be permitted to participate in such Parent Offer by delivery of a contingent Exchange Notice in accordance with the last sentence of Section 10.1(c).  Without limiting the foregoing, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the holders (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) of Units and shares of Class B Stock to participate in such Parent Offer to the same extent or on an economically equivalent basis as the holders of shares of Class A Stock without discrimination; provided that, without limiting the generality of this sentence, Parent will use its reasonable best efforts expeditiously and in good faith to permit such holders of Units to participate (at their option) in each such Parent Offer (or, if so required, to cause any exchange of Units in connection therewith to be effective only upon, and conditioned upon, the closing of such Parent Offer and, only to the extent necessary, to require the tender or deposit Units and shares of Class B Stock pursuant to a Parent Offer in accordance with the last sentence of Section 10.1(c), or, as applicable, to the extent necessary to exchange the number of Units being repurchased).  Nothing in this Section 10.2 shall affect the ability of the parties to effect a purchase of Units by Parent as provided in Section 10.1(g), upon the closing of such Parent Offer for the amount per share and type of cash or other property as is paid for the Class A Stock in a Parent Offer.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the holders (other than Parent and its Subsidiaries) of Units and shares of Class B Stock be entitled to receive in such Parent Offer aggregate consideration for each Unit and corresponding share of Class B Stock that is greater or less than the consideration payable in respect of each share of Class A Stock in connection with a Parent Offer.

ARTICLE XIII
 
DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION
 
13.1          Dissolution.  The Company shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Members or Substituted Members or the attempted withdrawal or resignation of a Member. The Company shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up, upon:
 
(a)           the unanimous decision of the Members that then hold Units to dissolve the Company; or
 
(b)           the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company under Section 35-5 of the Delaware Act or an administrative dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act. Except as otherwise set forth in this ARTICLE XIII, the Company is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause a dissolution of the Company and the Company shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
13.2          Liquidation and Termination.  On dissolution of the Company, the Manager shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more Persons as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the Company and make final distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as a Company expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the Company properties with all of the power and authority of the Manager. The steps to be accomplished by the liquidators are as follows:
 
(a)           as promptly as possible after dissolution and again after final liquidation, the liquidators shall cause a proper accounting to be made by a recognized firm of certified public accountants of the Company’s assets, liabilities and operations through the last day of the calendar month in which the dissolution occurs or the final liquidation is completed, as applicable;
 
(b)           the liquidators shall cause the notice described in the Delaware Act to be mailed to each known creditor of and claimant against the Company in the manner described thereunder;
 
(c)           the liquidators shall pay, satisfy or discharge from Company funds, or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including, without limitation, the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine): first, all expenses incurred in liquidation; and second, all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company; and
 
 
CC-28

 
 
(d)           all remaining assets of the Company shall be distributed to the Members in accordance with Section 4.1 by the end of the Taxable Year during which the liquidation of the Company occurs (or, if later, by ninety (90) days after the date of the liquidation).
 
13.3          Deferment; Distribution in Kind.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.2, but subject to the order of priorities set forth therein, if upon dissolution of the Company the liquidators determine that an immediate sale of part or all of the Company’s assets would be impractical or would cause undue loss (or would otherwise not be beneficial) to the Members, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, defer for a reasonable time the liquidation of any assets except those necessary to satisfy Company liabilities (other than loans to the Company by Members) and reserves. Subject to the order of priorities set forth in Section 13.2, the liquidators may, in their sole discretion, distribute to the Members, in lieu of cash, either (a) all or any portion of such remaining Company assets in-kind in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2(d), (b) as tenants in common and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2(d), undivided interests in all or any portion of such Company assets or (c) a combination of the foregoing. Any such Distributions in kind shall be subject to (a) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (b) the terms and conditions of any agreements governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time.
 
13.4          Cancellation of Certificate.  On completion of the distribution of Company assets as provided herein, the Company is terminated (and the Company shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Manager (or such other Person or Persons as the Delaware Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the Company. The Company shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this Section 13.4.
 
13.5          Reasonable Time for Winding Up.  A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the Company and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to Sections 13.2 and 13.3 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up.
 
13.6          Return of Capital.  The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Members (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from Company assets).

15.9          Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of electronic transmission by a facsimile machine or via email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through such electronic transmission as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

(b)           Short-Form Registrations. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form and if the managing underwriters (if any) agree to the use of a Short-Form Registration. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. If the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities request that a Short-Form Registration be filed pursuant to Rule 415 (a “Shelf Registration”) and the Company is qualified to do so, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and once effective, the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration to remain effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have been sold or distributed pursuant to the Shelf Registration or (ii) the date as of which all of the Registrable Securities included in such registration are able to be sold without limitation or restriction within a three (3) month period in compliance with Rule 144. If thereafter for any reason the Company becomes ineligible to utilize Form S-3, the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement or registration statements on such form that is available for the sale of Registrable Securities.
 
(c)           Long-Form Registrations. A registration shall not count as a Long-Form Registration for purposes of the last sentence of Section 2(a) unless (i) at least 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the requesting holders have been registered and (ii) such registration has become effective in accordance with the Securities Act; provided, that if a Long-Form Registration is withdrawn by the holders of Registrable Securities who requested such registration prior to the time it has become effective for reasons other than the disclosure of information concerning the Company that is materially adverse to the Company or the trading price of the Class A Common Stock (which disclosure is made by the Company after the date that such registration is requested pursuant to Section 2(a)), such Long-Form Registration shall count as a Long-Form Registration for purposes of the last sentence of Section 2(a) unless the holders of Registrable Securities who requested such registration reimburse the Company for all of the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company prior to such withdrawal.
 
 
EE-3

 
 
(d)           Priority on Demand Registrations. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold therein without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration prior to the inclusion of any securities which are not Registrable Securities the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included which, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold, without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder.
 
(e)           Procedures and Restrictions on Demand Registrations. Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the intended method of distribution. Within ten (10) days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of the Demand Registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to the terms of Section 2(d), shall include in such Demand Registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under state blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the Company’s notice. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration, including any Shelf Registration, if (i) the holders of Registrable Securities, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public (net of any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) of less than $5,000,000; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not be applicable to a Demand Registration during the Lock-Up Period to effect the rights of holders to register the sale of Registrable Securities up to the Lock-Up Liquidity Amount, or (ii) within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration in which Registrable Securities were included pursuant to Section 3 in which, in either case, there was no reduction in the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included. The Company may postpone, for up to ninety (90) days from the date of the request, the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration, if the Company’s board of directors determines in its reasonable good faith judgment that not postponing such Demand Registration (i) would interfere with a material corporate transaction or (ii) would require the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company that at the time is not, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, in the best interest of the Company to disclose and is not, in the opinion of the Company’s legal counsel, otherwise required to be disclosed.

(f)           Other Registration Rights.

Section 3.   Piggyback Registrations.
 
(a)           Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to a Demand Registration, or (ii) in connection with registrations on Form S-4 or S-8 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor or similar forms) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such Piggyback Registration and, subject to the terms of Section 3(c) and Section 3(d), shall include in such Piggyback Registration (and in all related registrations or qualifications under blue sky laws and in any related underwriting) all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Company’s notice.
 
(b)           Piggyback Expenses. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration became effective.
 
(c)           Priority on Primary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect.
 
(d)           Priority on Secondary Registrations. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company’s Securities (who have registration rights with respect thereto permitted under the terms of this Agreement), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the marketability, proposed offering price, timing or method of distribution of the offering, the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares owned by each such holder which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect and (iii) third, other securities requested to be included in such registration which, in the opinion of the underwriters, can be sold without any such adverse effect.

In addition, the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such losses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or Free-Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Company by an Indemnified Party expressly for use therein or by an Indemnified Party’s failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such Indemnified Party with a sufficient number of copies of the same.
 
 
EE-13

 
 
(b)           By Each Security Holder. In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives, and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such holder; provided, that the obligation to indemnify shall be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds (before taxes) received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.
 
(c)           Claim Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, that the failure to give prompt notice shall impair any Person’s right to indemnification hereunder only to the extent such failure has prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.  An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. In such instance, the conflicted indemnified parties shall collectively have a right to retain one separate counsel, chosen by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities of the conflicted indemnified parties, at the expense of the indemnifying party.
 
(d)           Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to, or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party or is otherwise unenforceable with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such contribution shall be limited, in the case of each seller of Registrable Securities, to an amount equal to the net proceeds actually received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to such registration. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if the contribution pursuant to this Section 7(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account such equitable considerations. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim which is the subject hereof. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)           Release. No indemnifying party shall, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7, an indemnifying party shall not be liable for any amounts paid in settlement of any loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
(f)           Non-exclusive Remedy; Survival. The indemnification and contribution provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities and the termination or expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
 
Section 8.       Underwritten Registrations.
 
(a)           Selection of Underwriters. The Company shall determine whether the offering pursuant to any registration under this Agreement is underwritten.  In any Piggyback Registration, the Company shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) of the offering in its sole discretion and, in any Demand Registration, the Company shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) of the offering subject to the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such offering, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
(b)           Participation. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including, without limitation, pursuant to any over-allotment or “green shoe” option requested by the underwriters; provided, that no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities such holder has requested to include) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

A waiver or consent to or of any breach or default by any Person in the performance by that Person of his, her or its obligations under this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance by that Person of the same or any other obligations of that Person under this Agreement.
 
(c)          Remedies. The parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm and money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach and that, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing hereunder, any party shall be entitled to specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 6.5   Headings.  The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
 
Section 6.6   Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.
 
Section 6.7   Entire Agreement; Assignment.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other Party.
 
Section 6.8   Parties in Interest.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. Whenever used in this Agreement, any noun or pronoun shall be deemed to include the plural as well as the singular and to cover all genders. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

Section 6.11   Specific Performance; Remedies.  Each Stockholder acknowledges that the Company and the Members shall be irreparably harmed and that there shall be no adequate remedy at Law for any violation or breach, or threatened breach, by any Stockholder of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, and that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by a Stockholder, would not be adequately compensated by monetary damages alone.  It is accordingly agreed, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, that the Company and the Members shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to obtain specific performance of, the Stockholders’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.  Each Stockholder hereby agrees (i) to waive the defense in any such suit that the Company or the Members have an adequate remedy at law, (ii) not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of the Stockholders under this Agreement, and (iii) to waive any requirement to post any bond, in each case, in connection with obtaining such relief.  All rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or applicable Law.
 
Section 6.12   Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Service of Process.  The Parties agree that any proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement, prior to the Closing, shall be brought in any United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia located in Alexandria, Virginia, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, any Virginia state court in the City of Alexandria with jurisdiction.  Each Party hereby irrevocably (a) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in such jurisdiction; (b) waives, and agrees not to assert, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of, or any objection to the laying of venue in, any such courts or that such action has been commenced in an improper or inconvenient forum; and (c) agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s address as provided herein shall be effective with respect to any matter for which it has submitted to jurisdiction hereby.  The foregoing shall not constitute a general consent to service of process and shall have no effect for any purpose except as set forth in this Section 6.12.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.  Each Party (x) certifies that no Representative of the other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (y) acknowledges that it and the other Party has been induced to enter into the agreements contemplated hereby by, among other things, the mutual waivers, agreements and certifications in this Section 6.12.
 
Section 6.13   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
 
Section 6.14   No Partnership, Agency or Joint Venture.  This Agreement is intended to create a contractual relationship between the Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Company and the Members, on the other hand, and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture or any like relationship between or among the Parties hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, each of the Stockholders (a) is entering into this Agreement solely on its own behalf and shall not have any obligation to perform on behalf of any other holder of Parent Common Stock or any liability (regardless of the legal theory advanced) for any breach of this Agreement by any other holder of Parent Common Stock and (b) by entering into this Agreement does not intend to form a “group” for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act or any other similar provision of applicable law.
