(c) At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company at and after the Effective Time (except that at the Effective Time the name of Merger Sub will be changed to CASH Inc.) until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and the terms of such certificate of formation.

(d) The bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Company at and after the Effective Time, until thereafter amended in accordance with the DGCL and the terms of the certificate of formation of the Surviving Company and such bylaws.

“THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND SUCH LAWS.

(c) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality (a “Governmental Entity”) is required by or with respect to CASH in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

6.3 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries; Severability. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Exhibits and Schedules constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision. No third parties shall have any rights under or rights to enforce this Agreement, and no third parties are intended to be third party beneficiaries of any provision hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, and any provision hereof may not be waived, by the parties hereto except by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each party hereto. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, confirm no rights or obligations in either party, and do not alter any terms of this Agreement.

6.4 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

6.5 Assignment; Counterparts. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

6.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue. This Agreement and all matters arising herefrom or with respect hereto, including, without limitation, tort claims (the “Covered Matters”) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the choice of law principles thereof. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably submits to the co-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the City, County and State of New York for the purpose of any suit, action, proceeding or judgment relating to or arising out of the Covered Matters. Service of process in connection with any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on each party hereto anywhere in the world by the same methods as are specified for the giving of notices under this Agreement. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and to the

laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action, or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Prior to initiating any litigation, other than litigation for a preliminary injunctive or judicial relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the good faith judgment of a party necessary to avoid irreparable injury, each party shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a settlement. If such negotiations do not result in a settlement within thirty (30) days from the commencement of such negotiations, the parties may initiate litigation or any other proceeding permitted by applicable law upon seven (7) days’ written notice to the other party. All deadlines specified in this Section 6.6 may be extended by mutual agreement in writing. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

6.7 Expenses. CASH on the one hand and Parent and Merger Sub on the other hand, will each pay the fees and expenses of their respective counsel, accountants and other experts incident to the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and any related documents.

6.8 Further Assurances.
