Each of the undersigned agrees that any SEC filing, press release or stockholder communication proposed to be made or issued by the Group or any member of the Group in connection with the Group’s activities set forth in Section 3 shall be first approved by the Bulldog Parties and the Crescendo Parties, or their representatives, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6. In the event that any person nominated by the Group would not be able to serve on the Board due to limitations or restrictions arising out of such nominee’s service on any other board of directors, then such nominee shall resign from such other board at the time of his election to the Board.

7. The relationship of the parties hereto shall be limited to carrying on the business of the Group in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such relationship shall be construed and deemed to be for the sole and limited purpose of carrying on such business as described herein. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize any party to act as an agent for any other party, or to create a joint venture or partnership, or to constitute an indemnification. Nothing herein shall restrict any party’s right to purchase or sell securities of the Company, as he/it deems appropriate, in his/its sole discretion, provided that all such sales are made in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

8. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by one counterpart.

9. In the event of any dispute arising out of the provisions of this Agreement or their investment in the Company, the parties hereto consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and State Courts in the State of New York.

10. Any party hereto may terminate his/its obligations under this Agreement on 48 hours’ written notice to all other parties, with a copy by fax to Steve Wolosky at Olshan, Fax No. (212) 451-2222. The Group shall automatically dissolve, and each party’s obligations hereunder shall terminate, following the 2016 Annual Meeting.

11. Each party acknowledges that Olshan shall act as counsel for the Crescendo Parties and its affiliates relating to their investment in the Company and Stephanie Darling shall act as counsel for the Bulldog Parties and its affiliates relating to their investment in the Company; provided, however, that either such counsel may act on behalf of any party hereto with the approval of such party.

12. Each of the undersigned parties hereby agrees that this Agreement shall be filed as an exhibit to a Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(1)(iii) under the Exchange Act.
