The closing of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including (i) approval of the Merger Agreement, including the Merger, by holders of a majority of the Shares then outstanding and entitled to vote thereon (the “Company Shareholder Approval”), (ii) the expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended (the “HSR Clearance”), and the receipt of approvals of governmental entities in certain specified foreign jurisdictions pertaining to competition, (iii) the absence of any law or order restraining, enjoining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger that is continuing and remains in effect, and (iv) the accuracy of the other party’s representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement (subject to customary materiality qualifications), and the other party’s compliance in all material respects with its covenants and agreements contained in the Merger Agreement. In addition, Parent’s obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to the absence of any Company Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) occurring after the date of the Merger Agreement and continuing with respect to the Company.
