Section 3.08. Release. Subject to and upon the consummation of the Merger and the receipt of the consideration that is due to it in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which such Shareholder hereby agrees and acknowledges, from and after (and effective upon) the Closing, such Shareholder, and, if the Shareholder is a legal entity, together with the Shareholder’s officers, directors, stockholders, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective heirs, Representatives, successors and assigns (such persons, the “Releasors”) hereby fully and unconditionally (subject to the receipt of the amounts specified in this paragraph) releases and forever discharges, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, each of IIAC, the Company, Merger Sub, and each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, and each of their respective current, former or future Representatives, predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from and against any and all liabilities, actions, causes of action, claims, demands, damages, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kind, nature and description whatsoever, whether known or unknown, asserted or unasserted, suspected or unsuspected, absolute or contingent, unmatured or inchoate, both at law and in equity, which such Shareholder or any of the Releasors ever had, now has or may hereafter have against any of the Released Parties, on or by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever that arose prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Agreement will waive or preclude such Shareholder from exercising Shareholder’s rights, if any, (a) to receive and be paid the portion of the consideration (including the Cash Consideration) payable under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Business Combination Agreement in respect of each Subject Share held by such Shareholder immediately prior to the Closing, (b) if such Shareholder is or was prior to the Closing, an officer or director of the Company, to indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation in accordance with the terms and conditions and other limitations set forth in Section 6.16 of the Business Combination Agreement, (c) to indemnification to which such Shareholder may be entitled pursuant to an indemnification agreement with the Company or the Governing Documents of the Company, (d) any employment compensation or benefits matter owed to Releasor in his or her capacity as a director, manager, officer or employee of the Company, its Affiliates or its Subsidiaries, and (e) any liabilities of a Released Party in connection with any future transactions between the parties that are not related to the Business Combination Agreement, the Transactions, the Ancillary Documents, or the transactions contemplated thereby. Such Shareholder understands and acknowledges on behalf of itself and the other Releasors that it is releasing potentially unknown claims, and that it may have limited knowledge with respect to some of the claims being released. Each Shareholder acknowledges that the Releasors may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to the facts the Releasors now know or believe to be true with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement; however, the Releasors intend that the general releases herein given shall be and remain in full force and effect, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such different or additional facts. Without limiting the foregoing, by signing this Agreement, such Shareholder, on behalf of itself and the other Releasors, expressly waives and releases any provision of Law that purports to limit the scope of a general release.
Section 3.09. Further Assurances. Each Shareholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further certificates, instruments and other documents and to take such further actions as may be necessary, desirable or appropriate for the purpose of effectively carrying out the Transactions and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
