Section 2.3 Company Options, Company SARs and Company Stock Awards.

(a) Except as otherwise agreed in writing after the date hereof by Parent and the applicable holder thereof, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions so that, at the Effective Time, each option to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Company’s Equity Plan (each, a “Company Option”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company Option, shall be canceled and each Company Option shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation promptly following the Effective Time an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Option Consideration (as defined below) multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be acquired upon exercise of such Company Option. The Company Board or the compensation committee thereof shall take all necessary and appropriate actions so that all Company Options shall be vested in full as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. “Option Consideration” means the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise or purchase price of the applicable Company Option at the time of calculation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise or purchase price of the applicable Company Option is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled without any payment being made in respect thereof.

(b) Except as otherwise agreed in writing after the date hereof by Parent and the applicable holder thereof, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions so that, at the Effective Time, each stock appreciation right with respect to shares of Common Stock granted under the Company’s Equity Plan (each, a “Company SAR”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company SAR, shall be canceled and each Company SAR shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation promptly following the Effective Time an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the SAR Consideration (as defined below) multiplied by the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Company SARs. The Company Board or the compensation committee thereof shall take all necessary and appropriate actions so that all Company SAR shall be vested in full as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. “SAR Consideration” means the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Company SAR at the time of calculation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise or purchase price with respect to the applicable Company SAR is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, such Company SAR shall be cancelled without any payment being made in respect thereof.

(c) Except as otherwise agreed in writing after the date hereof by Parent and the applicable holder thereof or as otherwise provided below, each share of restricted Common Stock that vests solely based on continued service (each, a “Company Restricted Stock Award”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company Restricted Stock Award, shall be, at the Effective Time, converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation the Merger Consideration per share in accordance with Section 2.1(c); provided, however, that any Company Restricted Stock Award held by a non-employee member of the Company Board shall, prior to such conversion, be prorated by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company Restricted Stock Award by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since the grant date of such award and the denominator of which is 365, with any fractional share rounded up to the nearest whole share. The Company Board or the compensation committee thereof shall take all necessary and appropriate actions so that all Company Restricted Stock Awards shall be vested and all restricted periods shall lapse thereon in full as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Except as otherwise agreed in writing after the date hereof by Parent and the applicable holder thereof or as otherwise provided below or on Section 2.3(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, each share of restricted Common Stock that vests based on the achievement of performance goals (each, a “Company Performance Stock Award”, and together with the Company Restricted Stock Awards, the “Company Stock Awards”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the holder of that Company Performance Stock Award, shall be, at the Effective Time, converted into the right to receive a restricted cash award on the same terms and conditions (including applicable time and/or service vesting conditions but excluding performance goals) applicable to such Company Performance Stock Award under the applicable Company Equity Plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to an amount of cash determined by multiplying the Merger Consideration by the number of shares of Common Stock that would vest based on the achievement of any applicable performance goals at the target level. For the avoidance of doubt, any provisions relating to the forfeiture, acceleration of vesting or payment of any award contained in a Company Performance Stock Award shall apply to the restricted cash award described in this Section 2.3(d); provided that, in the event any such Company Performance Stock Award does not contain such an acceleration provision, such restricted cash award shall vest and be paid upon the termination of the holder’s employment by the Company without Cause or by the holder for Good Reason (each, as defined in the most recent Company Equity Plan), in each case, subject to the execution and delivery (without revocation) of a release of claims in favor of the Company in the form provided by the Company; provided, further, that any Company Performance Stock Award that vests by its terms upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, if any, shall be, at the Effective Time, converted into the right to receive from Parent or the Surviving Corporation the Merger Consideration per share in accordance with Section 2.1(c). The Company Board or the compensation committee thereof shall take all necessary and appropriate actions so that all Company Performance Stock Awards shall be treated in accordance with this Section 2.3(d). Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, as applicable, make all the payments pursuant to the restricted cash awards described in this Section 2.3(d) in accordance with their terms.

(e) Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.3, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions so that all Company Options and Company SARs, as well as all restricted stock units payable in shares of Common Stock or whose value is determined with reference to the value of shares of Common Stock (“Company RSUs”), shall be canceled and the Company Equity Plans shall terminate at the Effective Time.

(f) Not later than 10 days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall mail to each holder of Company Options, Company SARs and Company Stock Awards a letter describing the treatment of and payment for such Company Options, Company SARs or Company Stock Awards pursuant to this Section 2.3 and providing instructions for use in obtaining payment for such Company Options, Company SARs or Company Restricted Stock Awards (which instructions shall provide that the cash payable to such holder of Company Options and Company SARs pursuant to this Section 2.3 will be made by check or wire transfer in accordance with the holder’s instructions on file with the Company in respect of payroll and, if no such instructions are applicable to such holder, may be, at the election of such holder, mailed to such holder or transferred to such holder by wire transfer).

(g) As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day thereafter, Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Paying Agent to mail a check (or transfer by wire transfer) (i) to each applicable holder of a Company Option, in such amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(a) in respect of such Company Option and (ii) to each applicable holder of a Company SAR, in such amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 2.3(b) in respect of such Company SAR. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the payments contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, Parent and the Surviving Corporation may direct the Paying Agent to pay the Surviving Corporation (or its designees) for (but only to the extent of) any amounts the Surviving Corporation elects to pay to each holder of a Company Option or Company SAR in respect of the consideration payable therefor plus any amounts deducted and withheld with respect to any such amounts.

Section 2.4 Dissenting Shares.

At the Effective Time, (A) all Dissenting Shares shall be canceled and cease to exist and (B) the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under the FBCA.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.4(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses such appraisal rights (through failure to perfect such appraisal rights or otherwise), then that holder’s shares (i) shall be deemed no longer to be Dissenting Shares and (ii) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) formerly representing such shares or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, in each case in accordance with Section 2.2.

(c) The Company shall give Parent (i) notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Common Stock, any withdrawals of such demands and any other instrument served on the Company under the FBCA and (ii) the right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands for appraisal. Except to the extent required by applicable Law, the Company shall not offer to make or make any payment with respect to any such demands for appraisal or otherwise settle any such demands without the prior written consent of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Section 4.6 Financing.

(a) Section 4.6 of the Parent Disclosure Letter sets forth true and complete copies of (i) (x) executed rollover commitment letters (the “Rollover Letters”) from parties (the “Rollover Investors”) that collectively have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to 3,139,975 shares of the Company, which number of shares, when contributed to Parent under the Rollover Letters, will satisfy all minimum requirements for equity contributions to Parent under the Debt Financing (whether expressed in terms of minimum value or percentage of shares), pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, the Rollover Investors have committed to contribute to Parent the amount of shares of Common Stock set forth therein (the “Rollover Investment”), and (y) a schedule setting forth each Rollover Investor, the number of shares of the Company beneficially owned by and over which such Rollover Investor holds sole voting and dispositive power, and an indication of whether such shares of the Company are held directly or indirectly by such Rollover Investor, and (ii) executed debt commitment letters and related term sheets from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Wells Commitment Letter”) and Fortress Credit Advisors LLC (the “Fortress Commitment Letter” and together with the Wells Commitment Letter, the “Debt Commitment Letters” or the “Financing Commitments”) (Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Fortress Credit Advisors LLC, the “Lenders”) pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions of which, the Lenders have committed to provide Parent and/or Merger Sub with financing in the amounts described therein, the proceeds of which may be used to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Debt Financing” or the “Financing”). As of the date hereof, each of the Financing Commitments and the Rollover Letters is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent or Merger Sub and, to the Knowledge of the Parent, the other parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. As of the date hereof, each of the Financing Commitments and the Rollover Letters is in full force and effect, and none of the Financing Commitments or the Rollover Letters has been withdrawn, rescinded or terminated or otherwise amended or modified in any respect. As of the date hereof, to the Knowledge of the Parent, neither Parent nor Merger Sub is in breach of any of the material terms or conditions set forth in any of the Financing Commitments or the Rollover Letters. As of the date hereof, to the Knowledge of Parent with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries, there is no fact or occurrence existing on the date hereof that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to (A) make any of the assumptions or any of the statements set forth in the Financing Commitments or the Rollover Letters inaccurate, (B) result in any of the conditions in the Financing Commitments or the Rollover Letters not being satisfied, (C) cause any of the Financing Commitments or the Rollover Letters to be ineffective or (D) otherwise result in the Financing not being available, or the Rollover Investment not being made, in each case, on a timely basis in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date hereof, neither the Rollover Investors nor any Lender has notified Parent or Merger Sub of its intention to terminate any Financing Commitment or not to provide the Financing, and none of the Rollover Investors has notified Parent or Merger Sub of its intention to terminate any Rollover Letter or not to make the Rollover Investment. Parent has not, without the prior written consent of the Company, amended, modified, supplemented or waived any of the conditions or contingencies to funding contained in any Financing Commitment (including definitive agreements related thereto) or to the Rollover Investment contained in any Rollover Letter, or any other provision of, or remedies under, any Financing Commitment (including definitive agreements related thereto) or any Rollover Letter (except for any increases in the amount of funds available thereunder or the addition of Financing Sources in accordance with the terms thereof, or other relevant entities who did not execute a Financing Commitment or a Rollover Letter as of the date of this Agreement or as otherwise expressly permitted by Section 5.12(a)). Assuming (1) the Financing is funded in accordance with its terms and conditions, (2) the Rollover Investment is made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Rollover Letters and (3) the satisfaction of the conditions to the Company’s obligation to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 6.3(a), the net proceeds from the Financing will, together with the Rollover Investment and other funds available to Parent, be sufficient to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment by Parent and Merger Sub of the Merger Consideration, any fees and expenses of or payable by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, and any related repayment or refinancing of any indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent or Merger Sub has paid in full any and all commitment or other fees required by any Financing Commitment that are due as of the date hereof, and will pay, after the date hereof, all such commitments and fees as they become due. There are no side letters, understandings or other agreements or arrangements relating to the Financing (except for customary fee letters and engagement letters which do not contain any additional conditions to closing or other agreements relating to the availability of the full amount of the Financing, and a complete copy of the fee letter has been made available to the Company with customary redactions of fee amounts, pricing caps, “market flex”, other economic terms and certain other terms, none of which redacted provisions would adversely affect the conditionality or aggregate principal amount of the Financing) or the Rollover Investment to which Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates are a party that relate to the amount, availability or conditions of the Financing or the Rollover Investment, other than the Financing Commitments and the Rollover Letters. There are no conditions precedent related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as explicitly set forth in the Financing Commitments, and there are no conditions precedent related to the contribution of the full amount of the Rollover Investment, other than as explicitly set forth in the Rollover Letters. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions to the Company’s obligation to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 6.3(a), neither Parent nor Merger Sub has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any conditions to the funding of the full amount of the Financing or the contribution of the full amount of the Rollover Investment, or that the Financing will not be available to, or that the Rollover Investment will not be contributed to, Parent or Merger Sub on the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, it is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement, nor to the consummation of the Merger, for Parent or Merger Sub to obtain the Financing, the Rollover Investment or any alternative financing.

(b) Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any of their Affiliates has (i) retained any financial advisor on a basis exclusive to Parent and/or Merger Sub and/or any such Affiliate or (ii) entered into an exclusivity, lock-up or other similar agreement, arrangement or understanding with any bank or investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing that would prevent or hinder such provider from providing or seeking to provide such financing to any third party in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries (including in connection with the making of any Takeover Proposal), in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any of their Affiliates has caused or induced any Person to take any action that, if taken by Parent and/or Merger Sub, would be a breach of, or would cause to be untrue, any of the representations in this Section 4.6(b).

Section 4.7 Solvency. On and as of the Closing Date, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Financing and any alternative financing (including any financing to be issued or incurred in lieu of any bridge facility in any Debt Commitment Letter) permitted by this Agreement, the payment of the Merger Consideration, the incurrence of indebtedness in connection with the Debt Financing, and the repayment or refinancing of debt as contemplated herein and in the Financing Commitments, and assuming (i) the Company is Solvent immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger as set forth herein, or the waiver of such conditions and (iii) the satisfaction of the conditions to the Company’s obligation to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 6.3(a), Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Corporation’s Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, will be Solvent.

Section 4.8 Litigation. As of the date of this Agreement, there is no Legal Action pending or, to the Knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing against Parent or any of its Affiliates before any Governmental Authority that would or seeks to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates is subject to any Order of, or, to the Knowledge of Parent, continuing investigation by, any Governmental Authority, or any Order of any Governmental Authority that would or seeks to materially delay or prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.9 No Regulatory Impediment. There is no material fact relating to Parent or any of its Affiliates’ respective businesses, operations, financial condition or legal status, including any officer’s, director’s or current employee’s status, that would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of the parties to this Agreement to obtain, on a timely basis, any authorization, consent, Order, declaration or approval of, or ability to contract with, any Governmental Authority or third party necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.10 Absence of Certain Arrangements. Other than this Agreement, the Voting Agreement, the Rollover Letters and those other agreements contemplated hereby, there are no contracts, undertakings, commitments, agreements or obligations or understandings between Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and any member of the Company’s management or the Company Board or any of their respective Affiliates (including any of the Principal Stockholders), on the other hand, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the operations of the Company after the Effective Time.

Section 4.11 Brokers. The Company will not be responsible for any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission to any broker, finder or investment banker in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based on arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub, other than any such fee that is conditioned upon consummation of the Merger.

Section 4.12 Limited Guarantee and Pledge and Security Agreement. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have delivered to the Company (a) a limited guarantee of George Feldenkreis (the “Guarantor”) in favor of the Company, dated the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Limited Guarantee”) and (b) a pledge and security agreement of George Feldenkreis (the “Pledgor”) in favor of the Company, dated the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Pledge and Security Agreement”). Each of the Limited Guarantee and the Pledge and Security Agreement is in full force and effect and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor and Pledgor, respectively, enforceable against the Guarantor and Pledgor, respectively, in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions, and has not been amended, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. As of the date hereof, no event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default on the part of the Guarantor or Pledgor under either the Limited Guarantee or the Pledge and Security Agreement, respectively.

Section 4.13 Proxy Statement; Schedule 13E-3. None of the information to be supplied by Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion in the Company Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 will (i) in the case of the Schedule 13E-3 (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto), as of the date of filing and as of the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting and (ii) in the case of the Company Proxy Statement (or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto), as of the date of filing or mailing to the Company’s stockholders and as of the date of the Company Stockholders Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, with respect to information provided by Parent or Merger Sub, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Section 4.14 Independent Investigation. In entering into this Agreement and each of the other documents and instruments relating to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have each relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis, and Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree (a) that, except for the specific representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Company SEC Reports), none of the Company, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective stockholders, controlling persons or Representatives makes or has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, with respect to the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their business, operations, technology, assets, Liabilities, results of operations, financial condition, prospects, projections, budgets, estimates or operational metrics, or as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information (including any statement, document or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement and any financial statements and any projections, estimates or other forward-looking information) provided (including in any management presentations, information or descriptive memorandum, certain “data rooms” maintained by the Company, supplemental information or other materials or information with respect to any of the above) or otherwise made available to Parent and Merger Sub or any of their respective stockholders or Representatives and (b) that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, none of the Company, its Affiliates or any of its or their respective stockholders, controlling persons or Representatives shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever to Parent or Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates, stockholders, controlling persons or Representatives on any basis (including in contract or tort, at law or in equity, under federal or state securities Laws or otherwise) based upon any information provided or made available, or statements made (or any omissions therefrom), to Parent or Merger Sub, their respective Affiliates, stockholders, controlling persons or Representatives, except as and only to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement. Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that it has been furnished with, or given adequate access to, all information and materials relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries that it has requested and Representatives of the Company have answered all inquiries that Parent or Merger Sub has made of them concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (x) any or all actions taken by, or omissions of, the Company, in an effort to satisfy or facilitate the Financing Contingencies will not constitute a breach of the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.1 (including for purposes of Section 6.2(b) and Section 5.12(b)), and (y) any or all action taken by, or omission of, the Company in breach of this Section 5.1 at the direction of or with the consent of Oscar Feldenkreis, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or which Oscar Feldenkreis, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, had prior or contemporaneous knowledge of or reasonably should have had prior or contemporaneous knowledge of, shall in each case be disregarded and not deemed to be a breach of Section 5.1 (including for purposes of Section 6.2(b) and Section 5.12(b)).

Nothing contained in this Agreement gives, or is intended to give, Parent or Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time, and nothing contained in this Agreement gives, or is intended to give, the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations. Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries’ respective operations.

Section 5.2 Conduct of Business of Parent. Parent shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to, without the prior written consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) take or agree to take any action that would reasonably be expected to (a) delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) impose or cause any delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any Governmental Authorization necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under applicable Law, (c) result in any Governmental Authority entering an Order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (d) materially interfere with Parent’s ability to make available to the Paying Agent immediately prior to the Effective Time funds sufficient for the satisfaction of all of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement, including the payment by Parent and Merger Sub of the Merger Consideration, any fees and expenses of or payable by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, and any related repayment or refinancing of any indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.3 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) provide to Parent and its Representatives access at reasonable times upon prior notice to the officers, employees, properties, auditors, authorized representatives, books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (ii) furnish promptly such information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent and its Representatives may reasonably request. Nothing herein shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (A) grant access if the Company determines that such access would reasonably be expected to disrupt or impair the business or operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) disclose information to the extent such disclosure would, in the Company’s good faith opinion after consultation with legal counsel, (x) result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or similar privilege or (y) violate any applicable Law or any confidentiality obligation of such party. In the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on the preceding sentence, it shall provide notice to Parent that it is withholding such access or information and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate, to the extent feasible, the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable Law, Contract or obligation or risk waiver of such privilege.

(b) Parent and the Company shall comply with, and shall cause their respective Representatives to comply with, all of their respective obligations under the separate Confidentiality Agreements, dated March 15, 2018 (the “Confidentiality Agreements”), between each of George Feldenkreis and Fortress Investment Group, LLC, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, with respect to the information disclosed under this Section 5.3; provided, that notwithstanding the terms of the Confidentiality Agreements, Parent may provide such information to potential sources of capital, including the Financing Sources, and to rating agencies and prospective lenders and investors during syndication of the Debt Financing (including any alternative financing) subject to customary confidentiality arrangements that have been approved in advance by the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, rights to conduct or cause to be conducted any environmental investigation of the current or former operations or facilities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion.

Section 5.4 No Solicitation.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the date the Requisite Company Vote has been obtained or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII hereof, and except as expressly permitted by the other provisions of this Section 5.4, the Company shall not, and the Company shall cause any of its Subsidiaries not to, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives acting on its behalf not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of providing material non-public information) any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Takeover Proposal, (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding a Takeover Proposal (other than to state that the Company is not permitted to have discussions or negotiations) or (iii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into any Contract with respect to, a Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement). The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, encouragement, discussion or negotiation with any Person conducted prior to the date of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives with respect to any Takeover Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that if any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, acting on their behalf, takes any action that would constitute a breach of this Section 5.4, such action shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.4 by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.4(a), following the receipt by the Company of a Takeover Proposal until the date the Requisite Company Vote has been obtained, (i) the Special Committee and the Company Board shall be permitted to participate in discussions regarding such Takeover Proposal solely to clarify the terms of such Takeover Proposal and (ii) with respect to a written, bona fide Takeover Proposal that did not result from any breach in any material respect of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.4, if the Special Committee or the Company Board determines in good faith, (A) after consultation with the Company’s outside legal and financial advisors, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (B) after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take the actions set forth in clauses (x) and (y) below with respect to such Takeover Proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, then the Company may, in response to such Takeover Proposal, (x) furnish access and non-public information with respect to the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to the Person who has made such Takeover Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, so long as any written material non-public information provided under this clause (x) has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent promptly after being provided to such Person, and (y) participate in discussions and negotiations regarding such Takeover Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Special Committee and the Company Board shall be permitted, to the extent it determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties, to modify, waive, amend or release any existing standstill obligations owed by any Person to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) From and after the date of this Agreement, (i) the Company shall advise Parent orally and in writing of the receipt of any Takeover Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions thereof and the identity of the party making such Takeover Proposal, and (ii) the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a current basis with respect to the status and material terms of any such Takeover Proposal and shall promptly notify the Company of any material modifications to the financial or other material terms and conditions of such Takeover Proposal, in each case within one Business Day after (but not including) the date of the Company’s receipt thereof.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 5.4(e) and Section 5.4(f), the Company Board and the Special Committee shall not (i) withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation in any manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to do so, (ii) approve, endorse or recommend a Takeover Proposal or publicly propose to do so or (iii) approve, recommend or allow the Company to enter into a Contract relating to a Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement).

(e) Notwithstanding Section 5.4(d), the Special Committee or the Company Board may, at any time before obtaining the Requisite Company Vote and in response to a Superior Proposal received by the Special Committee or the Company Board after the date of this Agreement, if the Special Committee or the Company Board has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that its failure to withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable Law, withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Contract with respect to such Superior Proposal, but only if:

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time before obtaining the Requisite Company Vote, if any event, fact, development, circumstance or occurrence (but specifically excluding any Takeover Proposal or Superior Proposal) that improves the business, assets, operations or prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or that fundamentally impairs Parent’s ability to consummate the Merger on the terms set forth herein) that was not known (and, other than with respect to Parent, should not reasonably have been known) to the Special Committee and the Company Board (other than George Feldenkreis and Oscar Feldenkreis) as of the date hereof, becomes known to the Special Committee and the Company Board (other than George Feldenkreis and Oscar Feldenkreis) after the date of this Agreement (an “Intervening Event”) and the Special Committee or the Company Board has concluded in good faith, following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that its failure to withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to stockholders under applicable Law, then the Company Board may withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent but only if:

(g) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from complying with Rules 14a-9, 14d-9, 14e-2 and Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder or making any required disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Special Committee or the Company Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law or such disclosure is otherwise required under applicable Law; provided, that this Section 5.4(g) shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to (or the Special Committee to recommend that the Company Board) change, withdraw, modify or amend the Company Board Recommendation except to the extent permitted by Sections 5.4(e) – (f). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the issuance of a “stop, look and listen” statement (or other similar statement pursuant to any requirement of applicable Law) constitute a change, withdrawal, modification or amendment of the Company Board Recommendation under this Agreement.

Section 5.5 Company Proxy Statement; Schedule 13E-3; Company Stockholders Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC the Company Proxy Statement and the Company and Parent shall jointly prepare and file with the SEC the Schedule 13E-3.

Parent and Merger Sub shall cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Company Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each of Parent and Merger Sub will furnish to the Company the information relating to it and its Affiliates required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the Company Proxy Statement, that is customarily included in proxy statements or Rule 13E-3 transaction statements on Schedule 13E-3 prepared in connection with transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement or that is reasonably requested by the Company, and (ii) prior to the filing with the SEC or the mailing to the Company’s stockholders of the Company Proxy Statement or the filing with the SEC of the Schedule 13E-3, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on, and the Company shall reasonably consider all comments reasonably proposed by Parent with respect to, the Company Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3. The Company shall promptly (A) notify Parent upon the receipt of any such comments or requests and (B) provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC and its staff, on the other hand, to the extent such correspondence relates to the Company Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3.

(b) The Company agrees that none of the information included or incorporated by reference in the Company Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 will, at the date it is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company or filed with the SEC, as applicable, or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, that no representation or warranty is made by the Company with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein to the extent based on information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub or any Affiliate of Parent or Merger Sub in connection with the preparation of the Company Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.

(c) Parent and Merger Sub hereby covenant and agree that none of the information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub or any Affiliate of Parent or Merger Sub for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Company Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 shall, at the date it is first mailed to the stockholders of the Company or filed with the SEC, as applicable, or at the time of the Company Stockholders Meeting or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, that no representation or warranty is made by either Parent or Merger Sub with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein to the extent based on information supplied by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with the preparation of the Company Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.

(d) The Company Proxy Statement shall include the Company Board Recommendation unless the Company Board has withdrawn, modified or amended the Company Board Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.4.

(e) Following the clearance of the Company Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 by the SEC, the Company shall call and hold the Company Stockholders Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Company Vote. Subject to Section 5.4, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit or cause to be solicited from its stockholders proxies in favor of adoption of this Agreement; provided, that the Company may postpone, recess or adjourn the Company Stockholders Meeting: (i) with the consent of Parent, (ii) for the absence of a quorum, (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and distribution of any supplemental or amended disclosure which the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) is necessary or advisable under applicable Laws and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated to and reviewed by the Company’s stockholders prior to the Company Stockholders Meeting (iv) to allow additional solicitation of votes in order to obtain the Requisite Company Vote, or (v) if the Company has provided a written notice to Parent pursuant to Section 5.4(e)(ii) or Section 5.4(f)(i) and the latest deadline contemplated by Section 5.4(e) or 5.4(f) with respect to such notice, as the case may be, has not been reached.

Section 5.6 Employees; Benefit Plans.

(a) For a period of one year following the Closing Date (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, provide to individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, an “Employee”) (i) a salary or hourly wage rate and short-term (annual or more frequent) bonus or commission opportunity no less favorable than that provided to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) other compensation and benefits (but not including equity and equity-based awards) that for such individual are substantially comparable in the aggregate to such compensation and benefits being provided to Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, honor all Company Employee Benefits (including all severance and similar plans and agreements) in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to any amendment or termination thereof that may be permitted by such Company Employee Benefits and except as provided herein; provided, that nothing herein shall prevent the amendment or termination of any specific plan, program policy, agreement or arrangement, or interfere with Parent’s, the Surviving Corporation’s or any of their respective Affiliates’ rights or obligations to make such changes, in each case as are necessary to comply with applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the later of the duration of the Continuation Period or the remaining term of any individual employment, severance or separation agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall provide each Employee who suffers a termination of employment under circumstances that would have given the Employee a right to severance payments and benefits under the Company’s severance policy or individual employment, severance or separation agreement or other arrangement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Severance Plan”) with severance payments and benefits no less favorable than those that would have been provided to such Employee under any Company Severance Plan. Following the end of the Continuation Period, Parent shall be permitted to alter the duties and employment terms applicable to a given Employee solely to the extent permitted under the terms of any employment agreement with such Employee, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c) As of and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, recognize, without duplication, credit for purposes or vesting, eligibility to participate and for calculating severance and vacation entitlements (which shall, for the avoidance of doubt, exclude benefit accruals under any qualified or non-qualified defined benefit pension plan) for each such Employee’s years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries (and their predecessor entities) prior to the Effective Time (“Prior Service”) (to the extent the Company recognized such service for corresponding benefits) under any employee compensation, incentive and benefit (including vacation and severance) plans, programs, policies and arrangements maintained for the benefit of Employees as of and after the Effective Time by Parent, its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation (each, a “Parent Plan”). With respect to each Parent Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), Parent and its Subsidiaries shall use reasonable best efforts to (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition or eligibility limitations (to the extent waived, satisfied or inapplicable under the corresponding plan maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, Employees under similar plans maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) With respect to any accrued but unused vacation time to which any Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation policy or individual agreement or other arrangement applicable to such Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to, (i) allow such Employee to use such accrued vacation pursuant to the terms of Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s vacation policy, as in effect from time to time, and (ii) if any Employee’s employment terminates during the Continuation Period under circumstances entitling the Employee to severance pay under the Company Severance Plan, pay the Employee, in cash, an amount equal to the value of the accrued vacation time.

(e) Without limiting Section 8.11, nothing in this Section 5.6, whether express or implied, shall: (i) confer upon any current or former employee of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates (including any Employee), any rights or remedies including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, of any nature or kind whatsoever under or by reason of this Section 5.6, or restrict the ability of Parent, Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any Person; (ii) be construed to modify, amend or create any employee benefit plan of the Company, Parent, Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates, (iii) limit the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement, Contract, policy or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them; or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights or obligations in any Person (including any Employee) other than the parties to this Agreement.

Section 5.7 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six years following the Effective Time (provided, that such period shall be extended with respect to all unresolved claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party as of the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claims are finally resolved), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of any present or former director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and the fiduciaries of any Company Employee Benefits (the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in (i) the Organizational Documents of the Company, or (ii) agreements between an Indemnified Party and the Company or one of its Subsidiaries to survive the Merger and to continue in full force and effect for a period of not less than six years after the Effective Time or, if longer, for such period as is set forth in any applicable agreement with an Indemnified Party in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(b) For a period of six years following the Effective Time (provided, that such period shall be extended with respect to all unresolved claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party as of the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such claims are finally resolved), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless all Indemnified Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law with respect to all acts and omissions arising out of or relating to their services as directors, officers or employees of the Company, its Subsidiaries or another Person, if such Indemnified Party is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of such other Person at the request of the Company, or fiduciaries of Company Employee Benefits, whether asserted or claimed at, after or before the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise). If any Indemnified Party is or becomes involved in any Legal Action in connection with any matter subject to indemnification hereunder, then Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, advance as incurred any costs or expenses (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or Liabilities (“Damages”) arising out of or incurred in connection with such Legal Action, subject to Parent’s or the Surviving Corporation’s, as applicable, receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party, if required by the FBCA, to repay such Damages if it is ultimately determined under applicable Law that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. In the event of any such Legal Action, (i) each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Legal Action and (ii) neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Legal Action pending or threatened in writing to which an Indemnified Party is a party (and in respect of which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Legal Action.

(c) Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, maintain in effect for at least six years after the Effective Time the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous with respect to claims arising out of or relating to events which occurred before or at the Effective Time (including in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) so long as Parent and the Surviving Corporation are not required to pay an annual premium in excess of 250% of the renewal premium paid or payable by the Company in connection with its June 2018 renewal (such 250% amount being the “Maximum Premium”). If Parent and the Surviving Corporation are unable to obtain the insurance described in the prior sentence for an amount less than or equal to the Maximum Premium, then Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, instead obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of the arrangements contemplated by this Section 5.7(c), before the Effective Time, the Company shall be entitled to purchase, and at the written request of Parent shall purchase, a “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering the matters described in this Section 5.7(c) and, if the Company purchases such a policy before the Effective Time, then Parent and the Surviving Corporation’s obligations under this Section 5.7(c) shall be satisfied so long as Parent and the Surviving Corporation cause such policy to be maintained in effect for a period of six years following the Effective Time.

(d) The covenants contained in this Section 5.7 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise.

(e) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall take all necessary action so that the successors or assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.7.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Section 5.8 shall not limit the rights of the Company set forth in Section 5.4.

Section 5.9 Consents; Filings; Further Action; Notices.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with applicable Law, each of Parent and the Company shall, and Parent shall cause each of its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to promptly (i) obtain any consents, approvals or other authorizations, and make any filings and notifications, required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) make any other submissions either required or deemed appropriate by either Parent or the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the HSR Act, any Foreign Competition Law, the FBCA, the Applicable Exchange rules and regulations and any other applicable Law and (iii) take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary, proper or advisable consistent with this Section 5.9 to cause the expiration of the applicable waiting periods, or receipt of required consents, approvals or authorizations, as applicable, under such Laws as soon as reasonably practicable. Parent and the Company shall cooperate and consult with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and notifications, including by providing copies of all relevant documents to the non-filing party and its advisors before filing. No party shall consent to any voluntary extension of any statutory deadline or waiting period or to any voluntary delay of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at the behest of any Governmental Authority without the consent of the other parties to this Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(b) As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the date of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall file, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to file, and, unless so requested by the applicable Governmental Authority, not withdraw any notification and report forms and related material required to be filed by it with the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, as applicable, and shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, promptly make any further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper or advisable.

(c) Each of Parent and the Company shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, promptly inform the other party upon receipt of any material or substantive communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If Parent or the Company (or any of their respective Affiliates) receives a request for additional information from any Governmental Authority that is related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then such party shall endeavor in good faith to make, or cause to be made, to the extent practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response to such request. No party shall, or shall permit any of its Affiliates to, participate in any meeting or engage in any material or substantive conversation with any Governmental Authority without giving the other party prior notice of the meeting or conversation and, unless prohibited by such Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend or participate. Parent shall advise the Company promptly of any understandings, undertakings or agreements (oral or written) which Parent or any of its Affiliates proposes to make or enter into with any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to resolve any objections that may be asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any antitrust, competition or trade regulatory Law as promptly as practicable.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall take, and shall cause its Affiliates to take (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 5.1 and Section 5.4, the Company and its Affiliates shall be permitted to take, without affecting any representation, warranty, covenant or condition in this Agreement), all action necessary to avoid the entry or to effect the dissolution of, or vacate or lift, any Order which would otherwise have the effect of preventing impairing or delaying the Closing, including (i) selling, licensing, divesting or disposing of or holding separate any entities, assets, Intellectual Property or businesses (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries), (ii) terminating, amending or assigning existing relationships or contractual rights and obligations, (iii) changing or modifying any course of conduct regarding future operations, (iv) otherwise taking actions that would limit its freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain, one or more of their respective businesses, assets or rights or interests therein and (v) committing to take any such actions in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) (all of the foregoing a “Divestiture Action”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor its Affiliates shall be required to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, take or agree to take or commit to take any Divestiture Action with respect to any assets (whether tangible or intangible) that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (with references to the Company in the definition thereof also being deemed to be references to Parent for purposes of this Section). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall not require the Company or its Subsidiaries to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to, take any action with respect to any Order or any applicable Law which would bind the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time or in the event the Merger does not occur.

Section 5.10 Public Announcements. The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by the Company and Parent. Following such initial press release, except as provided for in this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements about this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Company shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except to the extent required by applicable Law or the Applicable Exchange requirements, in which case that party shall use its reasonable best efforts to consult with the other party before issuing any such release or making any such public statement; provided, that each party may, without complying with the foregoing obligations, make any public statement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, and may make internal announcements to employees, to the extent that such statements are not inconsistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made jointly by the parties and otherwise in compliance with this Section 5.10 and do not reveal material non-public information regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, further, that Parent’s consent shall not be required, and the Company shall not be required to consult with Parent in connection with, or provide Parent an opportunity to review or comment upon, any press release or other public statement or comment to be issued or made with respect to any Takeover Proposal or with respect to any actions contemplated by Section 5.4(e), Section 5.4(f) or Section 5.4(g).

Section 5.12 Financing Efforts.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Financing as soon as reasonably practicable on the terms and conditions contained in the Financing Commitments (reflecting flex provisions to the extent exercised) and to consummate the Rollover Investment pursuant to the Rollover Letters in accordance with the terms thereof, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) comply with its obligations under the Financing Commitments and the Rollover Letters, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing Commitments on terms and conditions (reflecting flex provisions to the extent exercised) no less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub than those contained in the respective Financing Commitments or on terms and conditions otherwise acceptable to Parent that would not (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing unless the Rollover Investment is increased by a corresponding amount or (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to, or delay, the receipt of the Financing, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent and Merger Sub contained in the Financing Commitments (including definitive agreements related thereto) and the Rollover Letters, including the payment of any commitment, engagement or placement fees required as a condition to the Financing, and (iv) consummate the Financing and the Rollover Investment at or prior to the Closing Date (it being understood that it is not a condition to Closing under this Agreement, nor to the consummation of the Merger, for Parent or Merger Sub to obtain the Financing, the Rollover Investment or any alternative financing). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the immediately preceding sentence, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to, take all actions reasonably necessary to (i) maintain in effect each Financing Commitment and each Rollover Letter (it being understood that the Financing Commitments and the Rollover Letters may be replaced or amended as provided below) and (ii) enforce all of its rights under each Financing Commitment (or any definitive agreements relating thereto) and each Rollover Letter. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (including providing the Company with copies of material draft and definitive agreements and other material documents related to the Financing) and the Rollover Investment. Parent and Merger Sub shall give the Company notice as promptly as reasonably practicable after obtaining Knowledge thereof (x) of any material breach or default by any party to any of the Financing Commitments, any Rollover Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware, (y) of the receipt of any (A) written notice or (B) other communication, in each case from any Person with respect to (1) any actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any of the Financing Commitments, any Rollover Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of any Financing Commitment, any Rollover Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among the parties to any of the Financing Commitments, any Rollover Letter or definitive agreements related to the Financing with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Closing or to consummate the Rollover Investment or the amount of shares of Common Stock to be contributed prior to Closing, and (z) if at any time for any reason Parent or Merger Sub believes in good faith that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing or the Rollover Investment on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources contemplated by any of the Financing Commitments, any Rollover Letter or definitive agreements related the Financing. As soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within three Business Days, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (x), (y) or (z) of the immediately preceding sentence. Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, amend, modify, supplement or waive any of the conditions or contingencies to funding contained in any Financing Commitment (including definitive agreements related thereto) or to the making of the Rollover Investment contained in any Rollover Letter, or any other provision of, or remedies under, any Financing Commitment (including definitive agreements related thereto) or any Rollover Letter, the effect of which (I) reduces (or could have the effect of reducing) the amount of aggregate cash proceeds available from the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount other than as a result of the exercise of any related “market flex” provisions set forth in a fee letter) unless there is a corresponding increase in the Rollover Investment, (II) imposes, or could reasonably be expected to impose, new or additional conditions or contingencies to the receipt of the Financing or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any other material provision of any Financing Commitment, (III) would delay, prevent or adversely impact, or, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, preventing or adversely impacting, in each case, in any material respect, the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date, or (IV) would prevent or adversely impact or delay, or, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, adversely impacting, or delaying, in each case, in any material respect the ability of Parent to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Closing Date; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent may modify, supplement or amend the Financing Commitments to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, other agents or similar entities that have not executed the Financing Commitments as of the date hereof or to increase the amount of funds available thereunder, and Parent or Merger Sub shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or replacement. In the event all conditions applicable to a Financing Commitment and/or a Rollover Letter have been satisfied, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Lenders and the Rollover Investors to fund the Financing and make the Rollover Investment, as applicable, required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable. In the event that any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable and such portion is not otherwise available under the Debt Financing or Rollover Investment, as applicable, Parent shall notify the Company and use its reasonable best efforts to arrange alternative financing from the same or other sources of financing on terms and conditions (including the economic terms, covenants, flex provisions and funding conditions) not less favorable to Parent and Merger Sub, taken as a whole, than those contained in the Financing Commitments as of the date hereof (taking into account the flex provisions) (the “Alternate Terms and Conditions”), in an amount sufficient to enable Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the Alternate Terms and Conditions.

(b) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, use reasonable best efforts to provide all reasonable cooperation requested by Parent, Merger Sub, any Financing Sources and their respective authorized Representatives in connection with the Financing (which, for purposes of this Section 5.12(b) shall include any alternative financing), including:

Any information provided to Parent or Merger Sub pursuant to this Section 5.12(b) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreements. Parent shall, on demand, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation. The Company and its Representatives shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any materials that are to be presented during any meetings conducted in connection with the Financing, and Parent shall give due consideration to any such comments proposed by the Company and its Representatives. The Company hereby consents to the reasonable use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, and is not reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its or their respective marks. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b) of this Agreement, as it applies to the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.12(b), shall be deemed satisfied if the Company’s material breach hereof was not the primary cause of the failure of funding under the Financing Commitments (provided that any or all action taken by, or omission of, the Company in breach of this Section 5.12(b) at the direction of or with the consent of Oscar Feldenkreis, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, or which Oscar Feldenkreis, in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer of the Company, had prior or contemporaneous knowledge of or reasonably should have had prior or contemporaneous knowledge of, shall in each case be disregarded and not deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.12(b) (including for purposes of Section 6.2(b))). Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that the Company and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall not have any responsibility for, or incur any Liability to any Person under or in connection with, the arrangement of the Financing or any alternative financing that Parent or Merger Sub may raise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except arising from the actual and intentional fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives, and Parent and Merger Sub shall, on a joint and several basis, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Damages suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing or any alternative financing, except to the extent such Damages arose out of or resulted from the actual and intentional fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives.

(c) In no event shall Parent or Merger Sub enter into any exclusivity, lock-up or other similar agreement, arrangement or understanding with any bank or investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing that could reasonably be expected to prevent such provider from providing or seeking to provide such financing to any third party in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries (including a Takeover Proposal), in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 5.13 Section 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (and shall be permitted to) take such steps as may be reasonably required to cause dispositions of the Company’s equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.14 Agreements with Principal Stockholders. From and after the date hereof until the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, in no event shall Parent or Merger Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, enter into any Contract with any of the Principal Stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the business, operations or other interests of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, unless such Contract shall terminate, by its terms, upon the termination of this Agreement without payment or penalty or any further obligations. In addition, from and after the date hereof until the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, in no event shall Parent amend, or waive any requirement under, the Voting Agreement or any Rollover Letter, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company.

Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, the Company shall control the defense of any Legal Action (including any class action or derivative litigation) relating directly or indirectly to this Agreement or transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including disclosures made under securities laws and regulations related thereto (“Transaction Litigation”); provided, however, that the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after obtaining Knowledge thereof, notify Parent in writing of, and shall (i) give Parent the right to review and comment on all material filings or responses to be made by the Company in connection with any Transaction Litigation (and the Company shall in good faith take such comments into account), and the opportunity to participate in the defense and settlement of, any Transaction Litigation and (ii) if Parent does not exercise such right to participate (subject to the Company’s control right), keep Parent reasonably and promptly informed with respect to the status of such Transaction Litigation. Except as permitted on Section 5.15 of the Company Disclosure Letter, no compromise or settlement of any Transaction Litigation shall be agreed to by the Company without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 5.16 Applicable Exchange De-listing. The Surviving Corporation shall cause the Common Stock to be de-listed from the Applicable Exchange and de-registered under the Exchange Act at or as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.

Annex A

Exhibit 99.3

LIMITED GUARANTEE

THIS LIMITED GUARANTEE (“Guarantee”) made as of June 15, 2018, by George Feldenkreis, individually (“Guarantor”), in favor of Perry Ellis International, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”).

Recitals

Whereas, the Company, Feldenkreis Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and GF Merger Sub, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”) have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, Guarantor owns, beneficially and of record, all of the outstanding equity interests of Parent;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Guarantor has executed and delivered a Pledge and Security Agreement by and between the Company and Guarantor, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Pledge Agreement”), to pledge and grant a continuing security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) as additional security for the Secured Obligations (as defined Pledge Agreement);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Guarantor is required to execute and deliver this Guarantee to guarantee the full and prompt payment of the Secured Obligations; and

WHEREAS, all capitalized terms used herein which are not herein defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

Agreement

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, Guarantor agrees and covenants with the Company as follows:

1. Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely as surety to the Company, the full and prompt payment of One Hundred Percent (100%) of the Secured Obligations as and when due and payable in accordance with the Merger Agreement (such Guarantee obligations hereinafter may be referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations”) subject to the terms and conditions herein. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, (a) recourse on this Guarantee in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is limited to the Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) pledged by Guarantor pursuant to the Pledge Agreement, and (b) the Company acknowledges and agrees that its sole recourse against Guarantor under this Guarantee in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be the Collateral and that the Company shall not have any other recourse against Guarantor or any of his other assets or properties whatsoever.

2. Guarantor agrees that nothing contained in this Guarantee will prevent the Company from foreclosing on the security interest securing the Guaranteed Obligations or from exercising any rights available to the Company thereunder. Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Company to exercise, in its sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, since it is the intent and purpose of Guarantor that the obligations under this Guarantee will be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Guarantor hereby waives (a) promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment for payment or performance, notice of non-payment or non-performance, default, demand, protest, acceleration or dishonor, and (b) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any person or entity against Parent. Guarantor agrees that this Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be affected or impaired by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability in whole or in part of the Merger Agreement. Guarantor waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of any Law or otherwise.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any applicable law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Company. Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

3. Guarantor’s liability hereunder is absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing irrespective of any modification, amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from the Merger Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or that certain letter agreement dated as of even date herewith from Guarantor to Feldenkreis Holdings LLC (the “Equity Commitment Letter”). This Guarantee is a guarantee of payment and not of collection, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted by the Company against Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Parent or Merger Sub or whether Parent or Merger Sub are joined in any such action or actions. To the extent that any payment to the Company in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be, and is, returned to Guarantor for any reason whatsoever, Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof as if such payment had not been made.

4. Guarantor agrees that the Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of Guarantor, extend the time of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may also make any agreement with Parent or Merger Sub for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Company and Parent or Merger Sub without in any way impairing or affecting Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guarantee. Guarantor agrees that, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, and shall not be conditioned upon or otherwise affected by (whether or not Guarantor has any knowledge or notice thereof and without further consent of Guarantor): (a) the failure or delay on the part of the Company to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent, Merger Sub or Guarantor; (b) any change in the time, place, manner or terms of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any extension of the time of payment of, renewal, rescission, waiver, compromise or alteration of, any Guaranteed Obligation, any escrow arrangement or other security therefor, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any agreement entered into by the Company and Parent and/or Merger Sub in connection therewith; (c) any renewal, rescission, waiver, compromise or other amendment or modification of any terms or provisions of the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) the addition, substitution or release of any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (g) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right which Guarantor may have at any time against Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, whether in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; (h) the adequacy of any other means the Company may have of obtaining payment related to the Guaranteed Obligations; (i) any lack or limitation of status or power, incapacity, disability or other legal limitation of Parent or Merger Sub in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations or the lack of validity or enforceability of the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (j) any breach of the Merger Agreement; or (k) any other act or omission that may in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations).

5. The Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to any Guaranteed Obligation in the event that Parent or Merger Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company to so file shall not affect Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

6. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:

1. he has the legal capacity and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guarantee and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not and will not conflict with or result in any violation of or contravene any applicable law, governmental order or contractual restriction binding on Guarantor or any of his assets;
2. except as provided in this Guarantee and the Pledge Agreement, the execution, delivery or performance by Guarantor of this Guarantee will not result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien upon any of the property or assets of Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, credit agreement, or any other material agreement, contract or instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which he or any of his property or assets is bound or to which he may be subject;
3. (i) all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any governmental authority necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by Guarantor have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and (ii) no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Guarantee by such Guarantor; and
4. this Guarantee has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Guarantor and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions.

7. Unless the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7.2 or 7.3 thereof, Guarantor, on behalf of himself and his Affiliates, Representatives, family members and financing sources of Parent (the “GF Group”), hereby agrees (a) not to request or seek to compel the Company to call the 2018 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company and (b) not to directly or indirectly solicit, and to cause his and their respective Representatives not to directly or indirectly solicit, proxies or take any other similar action in opposition of the Company’s nominations for directors of the Company at the 2018 Annual Meeting of the Shareholders of the Company (including any adjournments or postponements thereof, the “2018 Annual Meeting”); provided, that the Company hereby agrees while the Merger Agreement is still in effect not to hold the 2018 Annual Meeting unless compelled by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to applicable law, and in furtherance of the foregoing the Company shall, upon the request of a shareholder seeking to compel the 2018 Annual Meeting, use its commercially reasonable efforts to resist any such motion by a shareholder and also to use its commercially reasonable efforts to try and persuade a court from issuing an order compelling the Company to hold the 2018 Annual Meeting and Guarantor hereby agrees to cooperate with the Company in good faith in connection with such commercially reasonable efforts; it being acknowledged and agreed that upon the issuance of any such order of a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to applicable law compelling the 2018 Annual Meeting, the Company will comply therewith. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, (i) if so compelled to hold the 2018 Annual Meeting by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to applicable law and (ii) at such time (x) Guarantor and the GF Group have complied with their obligations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 7 above, (y) Parent has a right to terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(c) of the Merger Agreement and (z) any solicitation of proxies or similar action by Guarantor or the GF Group in connection with the 2018 Annual Meeting is limited to the nominees for director identified by Guarantor in his May 18, 2018 nomination notice submitted to the Company in connection with the 2018 Annual Meeting, then clause (b) of the first sentence of this Section 7 above shall immediately terminate upon the Company’s receipt of a written notice of Parent notifying the Company of Parent’s intent to solicit proxies in opposition of the Company’s nominations for directors of the Company at the 2018 Annual Meeting; provided, that, in order for Guarantor and the GF Group to exercise such rights, if Parent has a right to terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(c) of the Merger Agreement, Guarantor shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.

8. No failure on the part of the Company to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver hereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Company of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Company, or allowed to it by law, in equity or by other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Company at any time or from time to time.

9. This Guarantee shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns. This Guarantee shall not be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by Guarantor without the express written consent of the Company and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. This Guarantee will terminate and cease to be of force and effect upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time, and (b) 75 days following the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, unless one or more claims with respect to one or more Guaranteed Obligations has been asserted by the Company in writing against Guarantor prior to the end of such 75-day period, in which case this Guarantee will continue in effect until the resolution of such claims and satisfaction, to the extent required, of such Guaranteed Obligations, whereupon this Guarantee will terminate.

10. This Guarantee may not be amended except in writing signed by Guarantor and the Company.

11. In the event that any provision hereof is deemed to be invalid by reason of the operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any court, this Guarantee shall be construed as not containing such provisions, and the invalidity of such provisions shall not affect other provisions hereof which are otherwise lawful and valid and shall remain in full force and effect.

12. This Guarantee, together with the Merger Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings both oral and written, between the parties with respect to such subject matter. This Guarantee may be executed in counterparts which together shall constitute one instrument. It shall not be necessary for all parties to sign the same counterpart.

13. Each party acknowledges that such party and its counsel have reviewed this Guarantee and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Guarantee.

14. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Guarantee were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached and further agree that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief against any other party to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Guarantee and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled at law or in equity, and shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Each party hereto further agrees that it will not oppose the granting of any such injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (a) any other party has an adequate remedy at law or (b) an award of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
