As used herein, “ Representatives ” means, collectively, the controlled affiliates of the Interested Party or the Company, as the case may be, and the respective directors, employees, members, financial advisers, lenders, accountants, attorneys, agents and controlling persons of the Interested Party or the Company, as the case may be, or their controlled affiliates, but excluding any person that would act as a co-bidder or other equity participant along with the Interested Party in connection with the Transaction. As used herein, the term “ person ” shall be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation, any corporation, entity, partnership, trust, group or individual.

The Interested Party and the Company agree that, in consideration of being furnished with Information by the Company, all Information shall be kept confidential, including any information about the terms or conditions or any other facts relating to a possible transaction between Interested Party and the Company, and shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, be disclosed by the Interested Party or its Representatives in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, other than to the Interested Party’s Representatives (to the extent permitted by the next sentence), and shall not be used, directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than in connection with evaluating the Transaction. Moreover, the Interested Party agrees to reveal Information only to their Representatives if and only to the extent that such Representatives, in the reasonable judgment of the Interested Party, need to know such Information for the purpose of evaluating the Transaction and are informed of the confidential nature of the Information and such Representatives have agreed to maintain the confidential nature of the Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Interested Party shall be responsible for any disclosure or other action or inaction by the Interested Party’s Representatives that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if undertaken by the Interested Party, including such Representatives who, subsequent to the first date of disclosure of Information hereunder, become former Representatives.

Nothing in this Agreement obligates the Company to reveal material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege.

If either the Interested Party or the Company determines that it does not wish to proceed with the Transaction, such Party shall promptly advise the other Party of that decision. In such case, or if a Transaction is not otherwise consummated, or if the Company so requests, the Interested Party shall promptly destroy or return to the Company all copies (whether in hard-copy form or to the extent reasonably practicable, on intangible media, such as electronic mail or computer files) of the Provided Information in its possession and in the possession of its Representatives, and will destroy all copies (whether in hard-copy form or to the extent reasonably practicable, on intangible media, such as electronic mail or computer files) of any Derived Information (provided that any such destruction of the Provided Information and any Derived Information shall be certified by the Interested Party or its duly authorized Representative). Notwithstanding the return or destruction of any Information, or documents or material containing or reflecting any Information, the Interested Party will continue to be bound by its obligations of confidentiality and other obligations hereunder for the term of this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided herein.

The Interested Party shall not initiate or maintain contact with any person known by the Interested Party to be an officer, director, shareholder, employee or agent of the Company or its subsidiaries regarding a Transaction, except with the express written consent of the Company (which consent may be granted by the Independent Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Independent Committee ”)). It is further understood that all (i) communications regarding a possible Transaction by the Interested Party with the Company, (ii) requests for additional information from the Company by the Interested Party, (iii) requests for on-site access or management meetings with the Company by the Interested Party and (iv) discussions with the Company or questions regarding procedures established by the Company by the Interested Party, will be submitted or directed to persons designated by the Independent Committee for such purpose, which may be designated legal counsel or financial advisor for the Independent Committee.

This Agreement shall not apply to such of the Information as: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of any disclosure or other action or inaction by the Interested Party in breach of this Agreement (including any disclosure or other action or inaction by the Interested Party’s Representatives that would constitute a breach of this Agreement if undertaken by the Interested Party); (ii) is or becomes known or available to the Interested Party or any of its Representatives on a nonconfidential basis from a source (other than the Company or any of its subsidiaries, affiliates or Representatives) that, to the best of the Interested Party’s

In the event that the Interested Party or any of its Representatives becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for Information or documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demands or otherwise) to disclose any such Information, the Interested Party shall provide the Company with prompt written notice so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or both, or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that the Company is unable to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or if it so directs the Interested Party, the Interested Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may furnish only that portion
