See Item 5 herein. Based on the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018, there were 37,125,490 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2018.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.
This Schedule 13D (the "Schedule") relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of The Dun & Bradstreet Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer").
The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 103 JFK Parkway, Short Hills, NJ 07078.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Schedule is being filed by BlackRock, Inc. ("BlackRock"). BlackRock is a Delaware corporation that, through its subsidiaries, provides diversified investment management directly and indirectly through various investment products to institutions, intermediaries and individual investors. Investment management services primarily consist of the management of equity, fixed income, multi-asset class, alternative investment and cash management products. BlackRock, through its subsidiaries, offers its investment products in a variety of accounts, including open-end and closed-end mutual funds, iShares® exchange-traded funds, collective investment trusts and separate accounts. In addition, BlackRock, through its subsidiaries, provides market risk management, financial markets advisory and enterprise investment system services to a broad base of clients. Financial markets advisory services include valuation services relating to illiquid securities, dispositions and workout assignments (including long-term portfolio liquidation assignments), risk management and strategic planning and execution. The principal office and business address of BlackRock is 55 East 52nd Street, New York, NY 10055.
Certain of the securities reported herein were previously included in a statement on Schedule 13G filed by BlackRock on January 30, 2013, as most recently amended on January 29, 2018. BlackRock did not acquire any beneficial ownership of Common Stock with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, or in connection with any plan or proposal that would be subject to disclosure under Item 4 of Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer. BlackRock subsidiaries, as the investment advisers to certain client accounts, hold Common Stock in their ordinary course of business, not with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Issuer or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, and not in connection with any plan or proposal that would be subject to disclosure under Item 4 of Schedule 13D with respect to the Issuer. Therefore, BlackRock does not believe that it is required to file a Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), however, BlackRock is voluntarily filing this Schedule because certain of its other affiliates entered into the transactions described in Item 4 below.
(a) – (c) and (f) Current information concerning the identity and background of each of the executive officers and directors of BlackRock is set forth on Annex A (collectively, the "Covered Persons"), attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(d) and (e)
During the last five years, none of BlackRock or, to the best of its knowledge, any of the Covered Persons has (i) been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) except as set forth on Annex B, attached hereto, has been a party to a civil proceeding of any judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding of any violation with respect to such laws.
Neither the present filing nor anything contained herein shall be construed as an admission that BlackRock constitutes a "person" for any purposes other than Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
As of August 16, 2018, BlackRock, in its role as the ultimate parent of investment advisers to certain client accounts, held beneficial ownership of 3,350,545 shares of Common Stock acquired prior to such date for an aggregate purchase price of $358,848,090.58. Such acquisitions were made for investment purposes with available funds of the applicable client accounts in the ordinary course of business of BlackRock's investment adviser subsidiaries.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
All of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer were acquired for investment purposes by funds and accounts for which certain of BlackRock's subsidiaries act as investment advisers.
Merger Agreement and Equity Commitment Letters
On August 8, 2018, certain funds and accounts managed by subsidiaries of BlackRock (collectively, the "Managed Funds") entered into an Equity Commitment Letter (each a "Commitment Letter" and collectively, the "Commitment Letters"), with Star Parent, L.P. ("Parent"). Pursuant to the Commitment Letters, the Managed Funds irrevocably committed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Commitment Letters, to purchase an aggregate of $178.3 million of equity interests in Parent, solely for the purpose of funding, and to the extent necessary to fund, a portion of the merger consideration payable by Parent, in accordance with an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of August 8, 2018 among the Issuer, Parent and Star Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the "Merger") on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of the Common Stock of the Issuer issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than (i) shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Issuer or any other direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or the Issuer, including treasury shares and (ii) shares that are owned by dissenting stockholders who are entitled to, and who have timely perfected and not withdrawn a demand for (or lost their right to), appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law), will be converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $145.00 per share, without interest and subject to applicable withholding (the "Per Share Merger Consideration").
Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of specified closing conditions, including (i) the approval of the Merger by the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock entitled to vote at a stockholders meeting, (ii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, (iii) the approval of the UK Financial Conduct Authority and (iv) other customary closing conditions, including (a) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (b) the accuracy of each party's representations and warranties (subject to customary materiality qualifiers) and (c) each party's performance of its obligations and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement. Upon closing of the Merger, the Issuer will become a privately held company and the Common Stock will cease to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Limited Guarantees
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on August 8, 2018, each Managed Fund also entered into a limited guaranty in favor of the Issuer (each a "Limited Guaranty" and collectively, the "Limited Guarantees"). Pursuant to the Limited Guarantees, each Managed Fund has agreed to guarantee its pro rata portion of the payment obligations of Parent to pay to the Issuer, when and only if such amounts become payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a reverse termination fee (the "Parent Termination Fee") and reimburse certain expenses incurred by the Issuer. The Limited Guarantees will terminate as of the earliest of: (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, upon satisfaction by Parent of its payment obligations under Sections 4.1, 4.2(a) and 4.3(d) thereto; (ii) at such time as the Managed Fund's obligations under the Limited Guarantee have been paid in full; (iii) termination of the Merger Agreement in circumstances in which the Parent Termination Fee is not payable and (iv) sixty (60) days after the Termination Date, except as to pending claims for payment made on or prior to the sixtieth (60th) day (in which case the Limited Guaranty will terminate on the date the last such claim is resolved or satisfied).
Interim Investors Agreement
In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, on August 8, 2018, Parent, the Managed Funds and the lead investors (the lead investors together with the Managed Funds, the "Investors") also entered into an Interim Investors Agreement (the "IIA"). Pursuant to the IIA, the Investors have agreed to certain terms and conditions that will govern the actions of Parent and the relationship among the Investors with respect to the Merger Agreement, the Commitment Letters and the Limited Guarantees. The IIA will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
The entry into the Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees and the IIA by the Managed Funds, none of which own shares of the Common Stock, will not restrict BlackRock's subsidiaries' exercise of investment or voting power with respect to the shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule relates. The foregoing descriptions of the Commitment Letter, the Limited Guaranty and the IIIA in this Item 4 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the form of Commitment Letter, form of Limited Guaranty and form of IIA, which have been filed as exhibits to this Schedule 13D, and incorporated herein by reference.
Except as set forth in this Schedule, BlackRock has no present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Item 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D. Each of BlackRock's advisory subsidiaries may evaluate on a continuing basis its client accounts' investment in the Issuer and BlackRock expects that such subsidiaries may from time to time acquire or dispose of shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer on behalf of such client accounts. Any acquisitions or dispositions will depend upon (i) the price and availability of the Issuer's securities; (ii) subsequent developments concerning the Issuer's business and prospects and the industry in which the Issuer operates; (iii) BlackRock's advisory subsidiaries' general investment policies with respect to the applicable accounts managed by BlackRock's advisory subsidiaries; (iv) other investment and business opportunities available to BlackRock's advisory subsidiaries on behalf of their clients; (v) general market and economic conditions; (vi) tax considerations; and (vii) such other factors as BlackRock's advisory subsidiaries may consider relevant. Any such acquisitions or dispositions may be made, subject to applicable law, in open market transactions or privately negotiated transactions.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) and (b) The responses of BlackRock to Rows (7) through (11) of the cover page of this Schedule are incorporated herein by reference.
The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by BlackRock include shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by its subsidiaries, including BlackRock Life Limited, BlackRock Advisors, LLC, BlackRock (Netherlands) B.V., BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, National Association, BlackRock Asset Management Ireland Limited, BlackRock Financial Management, Inc., BlackRock Asset Management Schweiz AG, BlackRock Investment Management, LLC, BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited, BlackRock Asset Management Canada Limited, BlackRock Investment Management (Australia) Limited, BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited, BlackRock Fund Advisors, BlackRock Asset Management North Asia Limited, and BlackRock Fund Managers Ltd, none of which beneficially owns in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.
Except as set forth herein, neither BlackRock nor, to the knowledge of BlackRock, the Covered Persons beneficially own any shares of Common Stock as of August 16, 2018.
(c) Annex C, attached hereto, sets forth transactions in the Common Stock that were effected during the 60-day period ended August 16, 2018. The transactions in the Common Stock described on Annex C were effected on securities exchanges unless otherwise indicated therein.
Except as set forth in this Schedule, neither BlackRock nor, to the best of its knowledge, any of the Covered Persons has engaged in any transaction in any shares of Common Stock during the 60-day period ended August 16, 2018.
(d) Except for investment advisory clients of BlackRock's subsidiaries, who may have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, shares of Common Stock, no other person is known by BlackRock to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock that may be beneficially owned by BlackRock.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The information set forth in Item 4 is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Except as set forth in this Schedule, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships between BlackRock and any other person with respect to any securities of the Issuer or among the investment advisory subsidiaries of BlackRock, including but not limited to transfer or voting of any securities of the Issuer, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies (other than the transfer of voting rights with respect to shares of Common Stock that are loaned out in the ordinary course of BlackRock's and its subsidiaries' securities lending programs).

Form of Equity Commitment Letter
August 8, 2018
[PARTNERSHIP NAME]
[PARTNERSHIP ADDRESS]
Re: Equity Commitment Letter
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among [STAR], a Delaware corporation (the "Company), [PARENT], a Delaware [●] ("Parent") and [MERGER SUB], a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving corporation (the "Merger"). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement. [EQUITY INVESTOR], a [●], is referred to herein as the "Equity Investor." This letter is being delivered by the Equity Investor to Parent in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement.
1. Commitment. This letter confirms the commitment of the Equity Investor, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to purchase, directly or indirectly (or cause an assignee permitted by the terms of Section 4(a) hereto to purchase), at or immediately prior to Closing, for an aggregate cash purchase price equal to $[●] (such commitment, the "Equity Commitment"), [common equity interests] of Parent (collectively, the "Subject Equity Securities"). The Equity Commitment shall only be used by Parent, to the extent necessary, to fund, directly or indirectly, together with the proceeds of the Debt Financing and Preferred Financing and the proceeds of the other equity commitment letters (collectively, the "Other Equity Commitments") from other investors (each, an "Other Equity Investor") to Parent of even date herewith (each, as amended from time to time, an "Other Equity Commitment Letter"): (i) Parent's payment obligations under Article IV of the Merger Agreement (including the payment of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration) and (ii) related fees, costs and expenses required to be paid by Parent, Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, the "Transaction Costs"), and for no other purposes. The Equity Investor shall not, under any circumstances, be obligated pursuant to this letter to contribute to Parent more than the Equity Commitment. In the event that, after taking into account funds available from other sources at Closing, Parent does not require the full amount of the Equity Commitment in order to consummate the Merger and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, the amount to be funded under this letter agreement will be reduced by such amount that is not so required by Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event will the cumulative liability of the Equity Investor under this letter exceed the amount of the Equity Commitment.
2. Conditions. The obligation of the Equity Investor (or any of its permitted assigns) to fund the Equity Commitment is subject to (i) the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions to Parent's and Merger Sub's obligations to effect the Closing set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Merger Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing (but subject to such conditions being satisfied at the Closing)), (ii) the substantially simultaneous consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and (iii) the substantially simultaneous funding of the Debt Financing and Preferred Financing or Alternative Financing.
3. Limited Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this letter, (i) the Equity Investor is executing and delivering to the Company a Limited Guarantee (as amended from time to time, the "Equity Investor Limited Guarantee") relating to certain of Parent's obligations under the Merger Agreement and (ii) each of the Other Equity Investors is executing and delivering to the Company a Limited Guarantee (each, as amended from time to time, an "Other Equity Investor Limited Guarantee" and collectively with the Equity Investor Limited Guarantee and all Other Equity Investor Limited Guarantees, the "Limited Guarantees") relating to certain of Parent's obligations under the Merger Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in Section 7(b) hereof, the Company's remedies against the Equity Investor under the Equity Investor Limited Guarantee with respect to any Non-Prohibited Claims shall, and are intended to, be the sole and exclusive direct or indirect remedies available to the Company and its Affiliates against the Equity Investor or any Non-Recourse Party for any liability, loss, damage or recovery of any kind (including special, exemplary, consequential, indirect or punitive damages or damages arising from loss of profits, business opportunities or goodwill, diminution in value or any other losses or damages, whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising under or in connection with any breach of, or liabilities or obligations arising under or in connection with, this letter, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Investor Limited Guarantee (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or of the failure of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be consummated for any reason or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection therewith, including in the event Parent breaches its obligations under the Merger Agreement (whether or not a Parent breach is caused by the breach by the Equity Investor of its obligations under this letter). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Equity Investor Limited Guarantee, under no circumstance shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both (a) a grant of specific performance hereunder or under the Merger Agreement to cause the Closing to occur or to cause Parent to enforce this letter and (b) payment of the Parent Termination Fee or any monetary damages.
4. Termination. The Equity Investor's obligation to fund the Equity Commitment will terminate automatically and immediately upon the earliest to occur of: (a) the discharge of the obligations of the Equity Investor hereunder in connection with the Closing; (b) termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; (c) the assertion, directly or indirectly, of any claim, demand, complaint, suit, arbitration, litigation or other Action, or the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or other Action, in each case, by the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives (or any Person claiming by, through or for the benefit of any of the foregoing) against the Equity Investor, Parent or any Non-Recourse Party (as defined below) relating to this letter, any Limited Guarantee, the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection therewith), in each case, other than any claim by the Company (i) against Parent seeking only specific performance against Parent in accordance with the Merger Agreement or pursuant to Section 7(b) hereof with respect to the Equity Investor's obligation to fund its Equity Commitment in accordance with, and solely to the extent permitted under, the terms hereof, (ii) against the Equity Investor solely in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Investor Limited Guarantee or (iii) seeking specific performance or injunctive relief to enforce the terms of the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement between the Company and CC Capital Partners, LLC dated as of May 29, 2018 as amended and restated July 23, 2018 in accordance with the terms thereof (the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the "Non-Prohibited Claims"); (d) any judgment against any of Parent or the Equity Investor with respect to any Non-Prohibited Claim that includes an award for money damages; and (e) the funding by the Equity Investor or any permitted assignee(s) of the Equity Commitment hereunder (or such lesser amount pursuant to the penultimate sentence of Section 1 hereto) in full to Parent. Upon termination of this letter, the Equity Investor shall not have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder.
5. Assignment; Amendments and Waivers; Entire Agreement.
(a) The rights and obligations under this letter may not be assigned or delegated (whether by operation of law, merger, consolidation or otherwise) by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempted assignment shall be null and void and of no force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Equity Investor may assign and delegate all or a portion of its obligations to fund the Equity Commitment to one or more co-investment vehicles or investment funds that is sponsored, managed, advised or controlled by an Affiliate of the Equity Investor; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the Equity Investor of its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund its full Equity Commitment hereunder) and Parent shall be entitled to pursue all rights and remedies against the Equity Investor subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
(b) This letter may not be amended, and no provision hereof waived or modified, except by an instrument signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, that no amendment or modification of this letter shall adversely affect the rights of the Company hereunder without the prior consent of the Company.
(c) Together with the Merger Agreement, the Limited Guarantees, the Other Equity Commitment Letters and the other agreements and instruments contemplated hereby or thereby, this letter constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
6. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent expressly set forth in Sections 7(a) and 7(b), this letter shall be binding solely on, and inure solely to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing set forth in this letter shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause Parent to enforce, the Equity Commitment or any provisions of this letter; provided, however, that (a) Non-Recourse Parties are express, intended third party beneficiaries of Section 7(a) and may rely on and enforce the provisions of Section 7(a) and (b) the Company is an express intended third party beneficiary of Section 7(b) hereto to the extent expressly set forth therein.
7. Limited Recourse; Enforcement.
(a) Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this letter or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, Parent, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Equity Commitment provided herein, covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no Person other than the Equity Investor shall have any liability, obligation or commitment of any nature, known or unknown, whether due or to become due, absolute, contingent or otherwise, hereunder or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that, notwithstanding that the Equity Investor or any of its permitted assigns may be a partnership or limited liability company, Parent has no remedy or rights of recovery, and no recourse, hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith against, or contribution from, any of the Equity Investor's former, current, or future directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, holders of equity, controlling persons, Affiliates, representatives, assignees or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, holder of equity, controlling person, Affiliate, representative or assignee of any of the foregoing (but not including Parent and the Equity Investor, a "Non-Recourse Party" and together, the "Non-Recourse Parties"), whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate (or limited liability company or limited partnership) veil, by or through a claim (whether at law or equity or in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of Parent against the Equity Investor or against any Non-Recourse Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, or otherwise, it being agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Non-Recourse Party for any obligations or commitments of the Equity Investor or any of its successors or permitted assigns under this letter, under the Merger Agreement or under any documents or instrument delivered in connection herewith or therewith, in respect of any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including in the event Parent or Merger Sub breaches its obligations under the Merger Agreement, whether or not Parent's or Merger Sub's breach is caused by Equity Investor's breach of its obligations hereunder, or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith or for any claim (whether at law or equity or in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation.
(b) Subject to the proviso in Section 6, this letter may be enforced only by Parent, and none of Parent's direct or indirect creditors nor any other Person that is not a party to this letter shall have any right to enforce this letter or to cause Parent to enforce this letter; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this letter to the contrary and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, including without limitation, Section 9.6(b) thereof, the Company (solely to the extent set forth in this proviso) is hereby made an express, intended third party beneficiary of the rights granted to Parent hereby solely for the purpose of seeking through an action of specific performance the enforcement of Parent's right to cause the Equity Investor to fund the Equity Commitment hereunder if and only if the Company is entitled to specific performance in accordance with Section 9.6(b) of the Merger Agreement (and subject to the terms and conditions hereof) and for no other purpose (including, without limitation, any claim for monetary damages hereunder or under the Merger Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall this letter be enforced by any Person unless each of the Other Equity Commitments is being concurrently enforced by such Person.
8. Representations and Warranties. The Equity Investor hereby represents and warrants to Parent that:
(a) the execution, delivery and performance of this letter by the Equity Investor have been duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of the Equity Investor's charter, partnership agreement, operating agreement or similar organizational documents or any applicable Law or contractual restriction binding on the Equity Investor or its assets;
(b) all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, filings with and notifications to, any Governmental Entity necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this letter by the Equity Investor have been obtained or made and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this letter;
(c) this letter constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Equity Investor enforceable against the Equity Investor in accordance with its terms, subject to (x) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar applicable Laws affecting creditors' rights generally, and (y) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and
(d) the Equity Investor has the financial capacity necessary to fulfill its Equity Commitment for so long as this letter shall remain in effect in accordance with Section 4 hereof.
9. Confidentiality. This letter shall be treated as confidential and is being provided to Parent solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. This letter may not be used, circulated, quoted or otherwise referred to in any document, except with the prior written consent of the Equity Investor; provided, that no such written consent shall be required for disclosures by Parent to (i) the Company and the Other Equity Investors so long as the Company and the Other Equity Investors, as the case may be, agree to keep such information confidential on terms substantially as restrictive as the terms contained in this Section 9 or (ii) its Affiliates and Representatives who agree to keep such information confidential on terms substantially as restrictive as the terms contained in this Section 9; provided, further, that any party hereto may disclose the existence or content of this letter to the extent required by any applicable Law or the rules of any self-regulatory organization or securities exchange.

The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by Law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 9.7 of the Merger Agreement or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

RECITALS
1. On the date hereof, [STAR], a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), Parent and Star Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub") have executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof and this Agreement, the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which Parent has agreed to acquire the Company pursuant to a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company being the surviving corporation, in exchange for the payment by Parent of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of the Company's common stock and Company options, restricted stock units and other outstanding equity in accordance with the Merger Agreement. A true and complete copy of the Merger Agreement as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Annex A.
2. Each of the Investors has, on the date hereof, executed a letter agreement in favor of Parent in which such Investor has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to make a cash equity investment in Parent at the Closing (each, an "Equity Commitment Letter").

4. The Investors and Parent wish to agree to certain terms and conditions that will govern certain actions of Parent and the relationship among the Investors with respect to the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters and the Limited Guarantees, and the transactions contemplated by each.
AGREEMENT
Therefore, Parent and each Investor hereby agree as follows:
1. EFFECTIVENESS; DEFINITIONS; ACTIONS.
1.1. Effectiveness. This Agreement is effective on the date hereof and shall terminate (except with respect to Sections 1.1 (Effectiveness), 1.2 (Definitions), 2.9 (Expense Sharing Provisions), 2.10.1-2.10.3 (Representations and Warranties), 2.12 (Exclusivity) (solely with respect to any Failing Investor), 2.14 (Contribution With Respect to Limited Guarantees), 2.15 (Indemnification), 2.16 (Company Payments), 3 (Definitions) and 4 (Miscellaneous) and the proviso in Section 2.2.2 (Actions with respect to Financing), all of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof) upon the earliest to occur of (a) the closing of the Transactions (the "Closing") and (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided, that any liability for failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement prior to its termination shall survive such termination. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in this Agreement or, if not defined herein, in the Merger Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the words "include" and "including," and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation." The section headings of this Agreement are included for reference purposes only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by Parent and the Investors, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise, or rule of strict construction applied, favoring or disfavoring Parent and/or any Investor by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
1.2. Actions by the Lead Sponsors. All actions, decisions, consents, rights to enforce or other acts or omissions to be taken by the Lead Sponsors hereunder shall be validly taken hereunder only with the consent of two of the following Lead Sponsors: (i) CC, (ii) Foley and (iii) THL, as determined among the Lead Sponsors in their sole discretion In no event shall any Investor have the right to claim that any action taken by CC, Foley or THL hereunder was not taken in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3.
2. AGREEMENTS AMONG THE INVESTORS.
2.1. Actions Under the Merger Agreement. Subject to Section 2.6 below, the Lead Sponsors may cause Parent to take any action or refrain from taking any action in order for Parent to comply with its obligations, satisfy the closing conditions or exercise its rights under the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, (a) determining that the conditions to closing specified in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of the Merger Agreement (the "Closing Conditions") have been satisfied, (b) enforcing or waiving compliance with any agreements with the Company, (c) waiving satisfaction of any Closing Condition, (d) determining to consummate the Transactions, (e) determining whether to exercise rights pursuant to Section 6.2 and/or Section 6.4 of the Merger Agreement and (f) amending, supplementing or modifying the Merger Agreement; provided, that the Lead Sponsors shall not permit Parent to and shall cause Parent not to amend, supplement or modify the Merger Agreement in a way that has an adverse impact on any Investor (in its capacity as an Investor) that is materially and disproportionately more adverse than the impact it has on any other Investor (in its capacity as an Investor) without such first Investor's prior written consent. Parent shall not, and the Lead Sponsors shall cause Parent not to, determine that the Closing Conditions have been satisfied, waive compliance with any agreements contained in the Merger Agreement and the Closing Conditions, amend, supplement or modify the Merger Agreement or determine to consummate the Transactions, or take any other action with respect to the Merger Agreement unless, in each case, such action has been approved in writing by the Lead Sponsors. Subject to Section 2.6 below (as applicable), Parent, by action of the Lead Sponsors, may terminate the participation in the Transactions of any (i) Investor that does not fund its Commitment in accordance with its Equity Commitment Letter or that asserts in writing its unwillingness to fund its Commitment in accordance with its Equity Commitment Letter, (ii) Investor that is, or that is an Affiliate of, a Preferred Investor, if any, in each case, that does not fund the Commitment (as defined in such Preferred Investor's Preferred Commitment Letter) in accordance with such Preferred Investor's Preferred Commitment Letter or that asserts in writing its unwillingness to fund the Commitment in accordance with such Preferred Investor's Preferred Commitment Letter or (iii) Investor as described in, and in accordance with, Section 2.2.2 or Section 2.13.7 (any such Investor described in clauses (i)-(iii), a "Failing Investor" and such breach or failure or unwillingness to fund, a "Breach") by notice in writing to such Investor; provided, that such actions shall not affect Parent's or any other Investor's (as applicable) rights (x) in the case of clause (i) above, against such Investor under its Equity Commitment Letter and under Sections 2.5, 4.3 and 4.4 hereof with respect to such failure to fund, (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, against such Preferred Investor under its Preferred Commitment Letter with respect to such failure to fund or (z) in the case of any of clauses (i)-(iii) above, exercising such remedies provided for under this Agreement or that may be available to the parties in connection with such Breach. Notwithstanding any of the provisions hereof to the contrary, the Originating Sponsors (acting together) may replace any Failing Investor's Commitment in their discretion by notice in writing to such Failing Investor so long as the Lead Sponsors and Parent comply with Section 2.7 hereof. The Lead Sponsors shall notify each of the other Investors in the event of the replacement of a Failing Investor's Commitment (including the identity of the Investor replacing the Failing Investor).
2.2. Actions with respect to Financing.
2.2.1. Subject to Section 2.6 below, as among the Investors and Parent, the Lead Sponsors shall have sole authority to direct Parent's efforts on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Financing, including Parent's efforts to (a) negotiate, enter into and borrow under definitive agreements relating to the Financing required to consummate the Transactions and (b) arrange for, market and negotiate and enter into definitive agreements relating to the Financing, including agreeing to the financial terms of such debt or preferred securities, in each such case, on terms consistent with the Debt Commitment Letter and the Preferred Commitment Letter and/or on such additional or modified terms as the Lead Sponsors approve. A true and complete copy of the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Annex D, and a true and complete copy of the Preferred Commitment Letter as of the date hereof is attached hereto as Annex E.
2.2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 2.9, each Investor hereby agrees to pay in cash or provide a letter of credit or other credit support permitted under the documents and agreements relating to the Financing (including documents and agreements relating to any escrow arrangements in connection therewith) within ten (10) Business Days of a request from the Lead Sponsors in an amount equal to its pro rata share (based on each Investor's Commitment relative to all of the Commitments of the Investors) of any fees, expenses, interest or other amounts incurred in connection with or required to be funded in connection with the issuance and/or deposit of any Financing into escrow prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of lawyers, accountants, consultants and other advisors retained by the Originating Sponsors in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of the documents and agreements relating to the Financing (collectively, the "Financing Expenses"); provided, that in the event the Transactions are consummated, the Company will promptly reimburse each Investor for the amount of such Financing Expenses paid by such Investor prior to the Closing. If any Investor does not fund its pro rata portion of any Financing Expenses in accordance with this Section 2.2.2 or asserts in writing its unwillingness to fund its pro rata portion of any Financing Expenses in accordance with this Section 2.2.2, such Investor shall be deemed a Failing Investor under this Agreement and the other parties hereto shall be entitled to seek the remedies provided for under this Agreement against such Failing Investor as if such Investor had failed to fund or asserted in writing its unwillingness to fund its Commitment.
2.3. Management Arrangements. The Lead Sponsors may cause Parent (or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries) and/or the Company to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements at the Closing with certain members of management of the Company with respect to the terms of management's employment, compensation, and equity incentives on such terms as the Lead Sponsors may approve, subject to the rights of the other Investors set forth in the Term Sheet (as defined below).
2.4. Intentionally Omitted.
2.5. Equity Commitments.
2.5.1. Each Investor hereby affirms and agrees that it is bound by the provisions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter with respect to its Commitment and that, as among the Investors and Parent, Parent shall be entitled to enforce each Commitment only if, when and to the extent (i) directed by the Lead Sponsors (provided, that the Lead Sponsors shall not direct Parent to enforce its rights with respect to any Commitment until the Closing Conditions have been satisfied or validly waived as permitted hereunder) or (ii) the Company is permitted to enforce the provisions of the Equity Commitment Letters under the specific circumstances and as specifically set forth therein and in Section 9.6(b) of the Merger Agreement and does in fact so cause Parent to enforce such provisions. Parent shall have no right to enforce any Commitment unless acting at the direction of the Lead Sponsors as set forth above, and no Investor (in its capacity as such) shall have any right to enforce any Commitment except the Lead Sponsors acting through Parent. Parent shall only enforce the Equity Commitment Letters ratably among the Investors party thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5, if the Lead Sponsors determine that Parent does not require all of the Commitments in order to satisfy its obligations in full under the Merger Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, then the Lead Sponsor may cause Parent to reduce the aggregate amount of Commitments funded and or retained (as applicable) at the Closing to such extent, with any such reduction to be applied to each Investor, by reducing the Commitment of each Investor (including the Lead Sponsors) pro rata (in accordance with each such Investor's Commitment relative to the Commitments of the other Investors determined without giving effect to such reduction), and each Investor hereby irrevocably agrees to any such reduction.
2.5.2. All common interests of Parent issued by Parent to effect the Closing (excluding any equity securities issued to management of the Company, or to a holding company formed for the purpose of holding equity securities on behalf of management of the Company, if any) shall be issued to, or retained by, as applicable, the Investors in proportion to their respective Commitments, and each Investor shall purchase or retain, as applicable, common interests of Parent to effect the Closing, subject to the terms of its Equity Commitment Letter and subject to the terms of this Agreement.
2.5.3. Except as provided in Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.14, 2.15 and 4.9 hereof, prior to the Closing, without the consent of the Originating Sponsors, no Investor shall transfer or assign any of its Commitment or transfer any interest in Parent, as applicable, other than to its Permitted Transferees; provided, that (i) each such transferee shall agree in writing to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the transferring Investor and (ii) no such transfer will relieve the transferring Investor of its obligations hereunder or under its Limited Guarantee or its Equity Commitment Letter with respect to its Commitment or other obligations hereunder or thereunder.
2.6. Non-Consenting Investors. During the term of this Agreement, except as set forth in this Section 2.6, no Investor shall have the right to withdraw, modify or otherwise terminate its Commitment except as may be set forth in such Investor's Equity Commitment Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall not, and the Lead Sponsor shall cause Parent not to, modify, supplement or amend the Merger Agreement so as to increase or modify the form of the Purchase Price or increase the obligations under the Limited Guarantees or the Equity Commitment Letters unless (a) the Lead Sponsors approve any such matter and (b) the participation in the Transactions of any Investor that does not consent to such matter (each, a "Non-Consenting Investor") is terminated by written notice to such Non-Consenting Investor in accordance with the following. For a termination of a Non-Consenting Investor's participation in the Transactions to be a valid basis for the Lead Sponsors to proceed with, or take any action or enter into any agreement (or, in each such case, to permit Parent to do so) with respect to, any of the matters described in the previous sentence, each Non-Consenting Investor must have received: (i) a full and unconditional release of its obligations and liability under this Agreement (other than its obligations under Section 2.9 and liability arising from its failure to comply with this Agreement prior to the date of such release, if any), its Commitment under its Equity Commitment Letter and its Limited Guarantee from the Company, and each other Investor or (ii) a written assignment agreement mutually satisfactory to each Non-Consenting Investor and the Lead Sponsors entered into by another Investor and/or one or more third parties assigning such Non-Consenting Investor's obligations and liabilities that would have been covered by such full and unconditional release described in clause (i) (including under this Agreement, its Equity Commitment Letter and its Limited Guarantee) and indemnification protection from a creditworthy counterparty mutually satisfactory to each Non-Consenting Investor and the Lead Sponsors covering the obligations and liability that would have been covered by such full and unconditional release described in clause (i) (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are referred to herein as the "Specified Criteria"). In the event a Non-Consenting Investor's participation in the Transactions is terminated in accordance with the foregoing, subject to satisfying the Specified Criteria, the Lead Sponsors shall be entitled to increase the Commitments of the Investors in accordance with the following priority: (A) the Investors (other than the Non-Consenting Investor) shall be entitled to increase their Commitments in proportion to their respective Commitments at the time of such termination, (B) if less than all of the Non-Consenting Investors' Commitments are assumed by the other Investors in accordance with the foregoing, the Originating Sponsors may allocate all or a portion of the remaining portion of any such Commitment to those Investors who wish to increase their Commitments further, and allocations pursuant to this sentence shall be made in proportion to the then-existing Commitments of the Investors wishing to increase their Commitments, subject, however, to the maximum amount of increase specified by each Investor, (C) the foregoing procedures shall be continued until each Non-Consenting Investor's Commitment is fully assumed by the other Investors or until such Investors express no further interest in further increasing their Commitments and (D) if less than all of the Non-Consenting Investors' Commitments are assumed by the other Investors in accordance with the foregoing (collectively, the "Unassumed Commitments"), the Originating Sponsors may select any number of additional Persons to assume the Unassumed Commitments so long as each such Person joins in this Agreement as an Investor pursuant to a written instrument by which such Person agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Investors. To the extent there are any Unassumed Commitments, the Lead Sponsors may also elect to organize a different form of financing to replace such amount of Unassumed Commitments, solely to the extent the Specified Criteria are met.
2.7. Failing Investors. With respect to any Failing Investors, the Lead Sponsors (acting through Parent) shall have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate such Failing Investor's participation in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and such Failing Investor's Equity Commitment Letter (which shall not constitute a termination of the Failing Investor's Equity Commitment Letter and/or Limited Guarantee for purposes thereof) by assigning the Failing Investor's participation rights to another Investor and/or one or more third parties, in each such case, subject to the same priority allocations as set forth in Section 2.6 with respect to reallocating the participation rights of Non-Consenting Investors, subject to the consent of such assignee; provided, that any assignee of the Failing Investor's participation rights pursuant to this sentence shall assume (in a written agreement with the Failing Investor that is reasonably acceptable to the Lead Sponsors) the Failing Investor's obligations under its Limited Guarantee, its Equity Commitment Letter and (without limitation of the provisions of this Agreement which survive the Failing Investor's termination as set forth in the immediately following sentence) this Agreement. In connection with the completion of such assignment, the Failing Investor and the other Investors shall cooperate in such reasonable arrangements to permit Parent and the other Investors to proceed with the Transactions and to terminate any liability or obligation of the Failing Investor under this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Sections 2.9, 2.14, 2.15, 4.3, 4.9, 4.10, 4.11 and 4.12, and with respect to breaches of this Agreement by the Failing Investor prior to the date of the completion of such arrangements). For avoidance of doubt, in the event of a Failing Investor, all other Investors shall remain bound by this Agreement, and the Failing Investor shall remain bound to the extent set forth herein.
2.8. Notice of Closing; Other Notices. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each Investor with not less than five (5) Business Days' prior written notice of the Closing Date under the Merger Agreement; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve any Investor of its obligations under this Agreement, including Section 2.5, or its Equity Commitment Letter. Any notices or correspondence received by Parent under, in connection with, or related to the Merger Agreement shall be promptly provided to each Investor at the address set forth under its signature to this Agreement.
2.9. Expense Sharing Provisions. In the event the Transactions are consummated, Parent will cause the Company to reimburse all reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses of Parent and the Investors (including the Lead Sponsors) incurred in conducting diligence, the negotiation, execution and delivery and performance of the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Limited Guarantees, the Partnership Agreement and otherwise in connection with the Transactions including, without limitation, filing fees (including fees payable pursuant to Section 2.13) and fees and expenses of consultants, lawyers, tax and accounting advisors but not financial advisors other than any financial advisor engaged by the Originating Sponsors (or on their behalf) in connection with the Transactions (collectively, the "Transaction Expenses"). In the event of a termination of the Merger Agreement, then subject to Sections 2.6, 2.7, 2.14, 2.15 and 4.3, each Investor (including any Non-Consenting Investor and any Failing Investors) shall bear its pro rata share (in accordance with its Commitment relative to the Commitments of the other Investors) of all of such Transaction Expenses and Financing Expenses (and reimburse the Lead Sponsors or their relevant Affiliates to the extent paid). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Non-Consenting Investor will only be responsible for its proportionate share of Transaction Expenses and Financing Expenses incurred prior to such Investor becoming a Non-Consenting Investor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Investor shall, at the direction of the Lead Sponsors at any time prior to the Closing or termination of the Merger Agreement, but with ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice, pay to or on behalf of the Parent or the Lead Sponsors its pro rata share (in accordance with its Commitment relative to the Commitments of the other Investors) of any Transaction Expenses or Financing Expenses payable at such time.
2.10. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Each Investor. Each Investor hereby represents and warrants, severally and not jointly, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, that:
2.10.1.

2.10.2. Such Investor has such knowledge, sophistication and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring interests in Parent, including the risk that such Investor could lose the entire value of such interests, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such purchase. Such Investor has been given access to the kind of information and the documents concerning Parent and the Company, and to ask questions of, and to receive answers from, Parent regarding Parent, the Company and their respective subsidiaries (in each case, to the extent Parent possesses such information).

Such Investor did not make a decision to acquire interests in Parent as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, any seminar or meeting, or any general solicitation of a subscription of such interests by a person not previously known to such Investor. Such Investor acknowledges that neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates (nor the Lead Sponsor) has rendered or will render any securities valuation advice or other advice to such Investor, and such Investor is not agreeing to purchase interests in Parent in reliance upon, or with the expectation of, any such advice.
2.10.3. Except for customary confidentiality agreements entered into by and among any portfolio company affiliated with an Investor and the Company or its Affiliates and any agreement, arrangement or understanding (other than agreements or arrangements between or among any equityholders of any Lead Sponsor (or its Affiliates)) entered into by such Investor with any other Investor or such other Investor's Affiliates that has been disclosed to the Lead Sponsors and the Investors in writing prior to the date hereof, no Investor has entered or shall have entered into any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any of the Company or any Affiliate thereof, any other Investor or any other potential investor, acquiror or group of potential investors or acquirors with respect to the Transactions or to acquire any material portion of the assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters and the Limited Guarantees, and amendments thereto that are permitted by the terms hereof and thereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.10.3 to the contrary, each of the Investors acknowledges and agrees that this Section 2.10.3 shall not apply to arrangements between or among any equityholders of the Lead Sponsor or the Originating Investors.

2.10.6. Subject to the other terms of this Agreement that expressly limit an Investor's obligations to proceed to the Closing, each Investor shall assist and cooperate in all commercially reasonable respects with the other parties hereto to consummate and make effective the Transactions.
2.10.7.

Each Investor shall use creasonable best efforts to cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, Parent, Merger Sub and the other Investors, as reasonably requested by the Lead Sponsor, in order to facilitate the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, including using commercially reasonable efforts to supply Parent, Merger Sub and the other Investors with such information concerning itself and its Affiliates as may be reasonably necessary (as is in such Investor's possession or reasonably available to such Investor) in connection therewith and taking such actions required of such Investor under this Agreement, its Equity Commitment Letter and Limited Guarantee as are necessary in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder so that Parent can comply with its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

4.1. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an agreement in writing signed by all of the Investors and the Lead Sponsors.
4.2. Severability. In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable Law, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such provision shall be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable Law. The provisions hereof are severable, and in the event any provision hereof should be held invalid or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not invalidate, render unenforceable or otherwise affect any other provision hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary, the parties intend that the remedies and limitations thereon contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an integral provision of this Agreement and that such remedies and limitations shall not be severable in any manner that increases a party's liability or obligations hereunder.
4.3. Remedies.

In the event that Parent determines to enforce the provisions of the Commitment under the Merger Agreement or Equity Commitment Letters in accordance with this Agreement or the Company enforces the Equity Commitment Letters in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Lead Sponsor is prepared to cause Parent to consummate the Transactions in accordance with Section 2.1 of this Agreement and to fund its Commitment upon consummation of the Transactions, as evidenced in writing to the other Investors (the Investors who are so prepared, the "Closing Investors"), but there are one or more Failing Investors, the parties hereto agree that Parent, acting at the direction of the Lead Sponsor, shall in addition to the remedies set forth elsewhere in this Agreement with respect to Failing Investors, be entitled to either (a) specific performance of the terms of this Agreement, whether before or after the Closing, together with any costs of enforcement incurred by the Closing Investors in seeking to enforce such remedy against the Failing Investors or (b) payment by the Failing Investors in an amount equal to the out-of-pocket damages incurred by such Closing Investors as a result of such Failing Investors failure to close (including the amount of such Failing Investor's Commitment). If there are multiple Failing Investors, each Failing Investor's portion of the total obligations hereunder shall be the amount equal to the product of (i) the amounts due from all Failing Investors hereunder, multiplied by (ii) a fraction of which the numerator is the amount or value (as applicable) of such Failing Investor's Commitment and the denominator of which is the sum of all Failing Investors' Commitments.
4.4. No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claims or causes of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement may only be made against the Investors and the Lead Sponsors and none of the Investors' Affiliates or the Investors' or their Affiliates' respective former, current, or future general or limited partners, equityholders, managers, members, directors, officers, Affiliates, employees, agents, representatives or agents or of any partner, member, manager or Affiliate thereof or any former, current, or future general or limited partners, equityholders, managers, members, directors, officers, Affiliates, employees, agents, representatives or agents or of any partner, member, manager or Affiliate of any of the foregoing (each, other than an Investor or Lead Sponsor, "Non-Recourse Party") shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Investors or for any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith. Parent and each Investor further agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right of recovery, nor shall they assert or threaten to assert, any right of recovery against any Non-Recourse Party, whether by piercing of the corporate veil or by a claim against any such Non-Recourse Party.

The parties hereto agree that any violation of this Section 4.5 shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and shall constitute irreparable harm.
4.6. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS LETTER AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
4.7. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. No delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring later; nor shall any such delay, omission or waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.8 to the contrary, each of the Investors acknowledges and agrees that this Section 4.8 shall not apply to arrangements between or among any equityholders of any Lead Sponsor.
4.9. Confidentiality. Each party hereto agrees to, and shall cause its directors, officers, Affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (collectively, "Representatives") to, keep any information supplied by or on behalf of any of the other parties to this Agreement, confidential ("Confidential Information") and to use, and cause its Representatives to use, the Confidential Information only in connection with the Transactions; provided, however, that the term "Confidential Information" does not include information that (a) is already in such party's possession, provided that such information is not subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to any person, (b) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure, directly or indirectly, by such party or such party's Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (c) is or becomes available to such party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any of the parties hereto or any of their respective Representatives; provided, that such source is not known by such party to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with or other obligation of secrecy to any Person or (d) is developed by such party or its Representatives without use or reference to any Confidential Information; provided further, however, that nothing herein shall prevent any party hereto from disclosing Confidential Information (i) upon the order of any court or administrative agency, (ii) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over such party, (iii) to the extent required by applicable Law (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any filings required to be made by any Investor or any of their Affiliates to the SEC), (iv) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder, (v) to such party's Representatives that need to know such information and whom such party shall instruct to observe the terms of this Section 4.9 (it being understood and agreed that, in the case of clause (i), (ii) or (iii), except for any filings required to be made by any Investor to the SEC, such party shall notify the other parties hereto of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of such disclosure as practicable and use reasonable efforts to ensure that any information so disclosed is accorded confidential treatment, when and if available, and with respect to filings required to be made by any Investor to the SEC, to the extent practicable, such party shall provide the Lead Sponsors with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such filing prior to the time such filing is required to be made and will consider any comments provided by the Lead Sponsor within a reasonable time in advance of the time such filing is required to be made) and (vi) to such party's investors and prospective investors in the ordinary course of business, so as the recipients of such information are required to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

FORM OF LIMITED GUARANTEE
LIMITED GUARANTEE, dated as of August 8, 2018 (this "Limited Guarantee"), by [GUARANTOR], a Delaware [●] (the "Guarantor"), in favor of [STAR], a Delaware corporation (the "Guaranteed Party").
1. Limited Guarantee. To induce the Guaranteed Party to enter into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among the Guaranteed Party, [PARENT], a Delaware [●] ("Parent") and [MERGER SUB], a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"), the Guarantor, intending to be legally bound, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Guaranteed Party, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the due and punctual observance, performance and discharge of [●]% (the "Pro Rata Share") of the payment obligations of Parent to pay to the Guaranteed Party: (a) the Parent Termination Fee when and only if the Parent Termination Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 8.5(c) of the Merger Agreement (the "Parent Fee Obligations"), (b) the amounts described in the second sentence of Section 8.5(e)(i) of the Merger Agreement when and only if such amounts become payable pursuant to Section 8.5(e)(i) of the Merger Agreement (the "Enforcement Costs") and (c) Parent Reimbursement Obligations described in sections 6.11(i), 6.15(f) and 6.16(b) of the Merger Agreement when and only if such obligations become payable pursuant to such sections of the Merger Agreement (the "Expense Obligations" and, together with the Parent Fee Obligations and the Enforcement Costs, collectively, the "Obligations"); provided, however, that in no event shall the Guarantor's liability for (x) the Parent Fee Obligations and the Expense Obligations, in the aggregate, exceed the Guarantor's Pro Rata Share of the Parent Termination Fee and (y) the Enforcement Costs, which are payable by Parent pursuant to Section 8.5(e)(i) of the Merger Agreement, in the aggregate, exceed $[●](such limitation on the liability that the Guarantor may have for the applicable Obligations as described in clause (x) or clause (y), as applicable, being herein referred to as, the "Cap" for such relevant Obligations). The parties agree that this Limited Guarantee may not be enforced without giving effect to the Cap and that the Guaranteed Party will not seek to enforce this Limited Guarantee for an amount in excess of the Cap (and giving effect to the provisions of Section 8 and Section 9 hereof). This Limited Guarantee may be enforced for the payment of money only in satisfaction of the Obligations by the Guarantor up to the Cap. The Guaranteed Party hereby agrees that (i) in no event shall the Guarantor be required to pay any amount to the Guaranteed Party or any other Person under, in respect of, or in connection with this Limited Guarantee or the Merger Agreement other than as expressly set forth herein and (ii) in no event shall this Limited Guarantee be enforced by the Guaranteed Party unless each Other Equity Investor Limited Guarantee (as defined in the Guarantor's Equity Commitment Letter) is being concurrently enforced by the Guaranteed Party. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement.
If Parent fails to discharge all or any portion of the Obligations when due, then to the extent expressly permitted in the Merger Agreement and this Limited Guarantee, the Guarantor shall, on the Guaranteed Party's demand, forthwith pay to the Guaranteed Party the Obligations (subject to the terms and conditions of the Limited Guarantee, including the Cap), and the Guaranteed Party may at any time and from time to time, at the Guaranteed Party's option, so long as the Guarantor has failed to perform the Obligations, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable Law to collect the Guarantor's liabilities hereunder in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations, subject to the Cap.
2. Nature of Limited Guarantee. The Guaranteed Party shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Obligations in the event that Parent becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guaranteed Party to so file shall not affect the Guarantor's obligation hereunder. In the event that any payment to the Guaranteed Party in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations (subject to the terms and conditions hereof) as if such payment had not been made. This Limited Guarantee is an unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collection. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Limited Guarantee, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees that the Guarantor may assert, as a defense to any payment or performance by the Guarantor under this Limited Guarantee, any defense to such payment or performance that Parent, Merger Sub or any of their assigns may have under the terms of the Merger Agreement, other than defenses arising from bankruptcy or insolvency of Parent.
3. Changes in the Obligations; Certain Waivers. The Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Party may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, extend the time of payment of the Obligations, and may also enter into any agreement with Parent or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms of the Merger Agreement or of any agreement between the Guaranteed Party, Parent and Merger Sub or any such other Person without in any way impairing or affecting the Guarantor's obligations under this Limited Guarantee or the validity or enforceability of this Limited Guarantee, provided that the obligations of the Other Equity Investors (as defined in the Guarantor's Equity Commitment Letter) under the Other Equity Investor Limited Guarantees are impacted in substantially the same manner. Subject to the termination of this Limited Guarantee as provided hereunder and the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 3, the Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure or delay on the part of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (b) any change in the ti
