ARTICLE 2

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE PROCEDURES

2.1 Conversion of Shares by the Merger.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of any of the Parties’ securities:

(i) any Company Ordinary Shares then owned by the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii) any Company Ordinary Shares then owned by Parent or Merger Sub or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii) except as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.1(a) and subject to Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(d), each Company Ordinary Share then outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any such shares held by any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company) shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio in accordance with the provisions of section 233 (5) of the Companies Act; and

(iv) each ordinary share, par value $1.00 per share, of Merger Sub then outstanding shall be converted into one ordinary share of the Surviving Company.

(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of any class of Company Ordinary Shares or Parent Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification, recapitalization, or other similar transaction or event, in each case other than the Parent Reverse Stock Split, or there occurs a record date with respect to any of the foregoing (other than the Parent Reverse Stock Split), then the Exchange Ratio with respect to such class and any similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of Company Ordinary Shares and Company Equity Awards with the same economic effect as was contemplated by this Agreement prior to giving effect to such event.

(c) In order to facilitate the issuance of Parent Common Stock in the Merger, the Company shall procure that, immediately prior to the contribution in kind pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.1(c), each Company Ordinary Share then outstanding shall be transferred to the Exchange Agent. Nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall alter or affect the rights of the transferring holder of Company Ordinary Shares to receive Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(iii). The Company’s obligation under this Section 2.1(c) shall be limited such that the Company is required to transfer only such Company Ordinary Shares as it has the right to transfer as proxy or attorney-in-fact for the holders thereof pursuant to the Company Shareholders Agreement.

(d)

(i) No fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of Company Ordinary Shares otherwise entitled to a fractional share of Parent Common Stock will be entitled to receive, from the Exchange Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.1(d) and subject to the provisions of Section 2.5, a cash payment (without interest and rounded to the nearest cent) in lieu of such fractional shares of Parent Common Stock representing such holder’s proportionate interest, if any, in the proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent in one or more transactions of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the excess of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent pursuant to Section 2.5(a) over (y) the aggregate number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock to be distributed to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares pursuant to Section 2.5(b) (such excess being herein called the “Excess Shares”). The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares. As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of Company Ordinary Shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the NYSE in the manner provided in the following Section 2.1(d)(ii).

(ii) The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent, as agent for the holders of Company Ordinary Shares that would otherwise receive fractional shares, shall be executed on the NYSE through one or more member firms of the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the proceeds of such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for the holders of Company Ordinary Shares (the “Ordinary Shares Trust”). The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of the Ordinary Shares Trust to which each holder of Company Ordinary Shares shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate proceeds

comprising the Ordinary Shares Trust by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Company Ordinary Shares would otherwise be entitled and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of shares of Company Ordinary Shares would otherwise be entitled.

(iii) As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Company Ordinary Shares in lieu of any fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, the Exchange Agent shall make available such amounts to such holders of Company Ordinary Shares without interest, subject to and in accordance with Section 2.5.

(e) All shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be paid-up pursuant to the acquisition by Parent, by virtue of this Agreement, of the Company’s issued and outstanding share capital in accordance with Section 2.1(c) and Section 2.5(a). Such shares in the Company shall be deemed a non-cash contribution in kind (inbreng op aandelen anders dan in geld) on the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued by means of the execution of a Dutch law deed pursuant to this Agreement, in connection to which in accordance with section 2:94b of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), a description of the valuation of such shares in the Company, signed by all members of the Parent Managing Board, and a statement by a registered Dutch accountant appointed by Parent shall be issued in accordance with the applicable rules under Dutch law. The Parties shall take all necessary action required for the execution of the Dutch law deed.

2.2 Treatment of Company Equity Awards. In accordance with the Company’s 2018 Management Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “Company Equity Plan”) and the applicable award agreements governing equity-based awards granted thereunder that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, the following treatment shall apply with respect thereto:

(a) Company Share Options. By virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each option to purchase Company Ordinary Shares granted under the Company Equity Plan (each, a “Company Share Option”), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire Company Ordinary Shares and shall be assumed by Parent and converted into an option (a “Parent Stock Option”) to acquire shares of Parent Common Stock. Each Parent Stock Option shall continue to have and be subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to vesting conditions, expiration date, and exercise provisions), except that (i) the Closing shall be deemed to be a “Public Offering” thereunder, (ii) each Parent Stock Option shall be exercisable for that number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company Share Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio and (iii) the per share exercise price for each share of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Parent Stock Option shall be (rounded, if necessary, up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the exercise price per share of Company Ordinary Shares under such Company Share Option divided by the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the adjustments provided in this Section 2.2(a) with respect to any Company Share Options are intended to be effected in a manner that is consistent with Section 409A of the Code and the

applicable regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, further, that, in the case of any Company Share Option to which Section 422 of the Code applies, the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable under such Parent Stock Option shall be determined in accordance with the foregoing in a manner that also satisfies the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code.

(b) Company Restricted Stock Unit Awards. Each restricted stock unit denominated in Company Ordinary Shares, whether subject to time-based, performance-based, or other vesting restrictions that was granted under the Company Equity Plan and that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each such award, a “Company RSU Award” and together with the Company Share Options, the “Company Equity Awards”), whether vested or unvested, shall, as of the Effective Time, be accelerated and settled into the right to receive a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (net of any applicable taxes and withholdings) equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company RSU Award multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio (rounded, if necessary, to the nearest whole share).

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) and the Parent Supervisory Board and the Parent Managing Board, as applicable (or the appropriate committees thereof), shall take such action and adopt such resolutions as are required to effectuate the treatment of the Company Equity Awards pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2, including that: (i) the Parent Supervisory Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) and the Parent Managing Board, as applicable, shall take all corporate action necessary or advisable to assume and continue the Company Equity Plan subject to any amendment or termination in accordance with the terms of the Company Equity Plan; provided that all references to “Company” in the Company Equity Plan and the documents governing the Parent Stock Options after the Effective Time will be deemed to be references to Parent, and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock available for awards under the Company Equity Plan shall be determined by adjusting the number of shares of Company Ordinary Shares available for awards under the Company Equity Plan immediately before the Effective Time in accordance with the Exchange Ratio; (ii) the Parent Supervisory Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) and the Parent Managing Board, as applicable, shall take all corporate action necessary or advisable to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Parent Common Stock for delivery upon the exercise of a Parent Stock Option; and (iii) the Company or the Company Board (or the appropriate committee thereof), as applicable, shall provide such notice, if any, to the extent required under the terms of the Company Equity Plan; obtain any necessary consents, waivers, or releases; adopt applicable resolutions; amend the terms of the Company Equity Plan or any outstanding awards and take all other appropriate actions to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.2 and ensure that after the Effective Time, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to deliver Company Ordinary Shares or any other securities to any Person upon the exercise of Company Share Options or the vesting of a Company RSU Awards and that no holder of any Company Equity Award or any beneficiary thereof, nor any other participant in the Company Equity Plan shall have any right thereunder to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under the Company Equity Plans, except as provided in this Section 2.2; provided, however, that the Company shall not pay any amounts for such consents, waivers, or releases without the prior written consent of Parent. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form, or if Form S-8 is not available, other appropriate forms) with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock subject to such Parent Stock Options, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or registration statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such Parent Stock Options remain outstanding and are required to be registered.

2.3 Company Warrants.

(a) At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, and in accordance with the terms of each warrant to purchase Company Ordinary Shares that is listed on Section 2.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Company Warrants”) and that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall execute a replacement warrant agreement (a “Replacement Warrant Agreement”) and issue a replacement warrant (each, a “Replacement Warrant”) that complies with and satisfies the applicable terms and conditions under each such Company Warrant and that certain Warrant Agreement between the Company and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, dated as of February 5, 2018, to each holder thereof.

(b) Each Replacement Warrant shall have an exercise price equal to the par value of the Parent Common Stock and be exercisable for a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (rounded to the nearest whole number):

(i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares that would have been issuable upon exercise of the Company Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time assuming such holder had exercised its Company Warrant pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in such Company Warrant) using the Market Price (as defined in the Company Warrant) of the Parent Common Stock on the Business Day which next precedes the day of the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio (without giving effect to any adjustment thereto referenced in Section 2.3(d)) for purposes of determining the Market Value of the Company Ordinary Shares for purposes of such Cashless Exercise (which number of Company Shares if calculated to be zero or a negative number, shall be zero) (such number, the “Net Company Warrant Shares”), multiplied by

(ii) the Exchange Ratio.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of such calculation any Replacement Warrant is exercisable for no shares of Parent Common Stock, then Parent shall not be required to issue a Replacement Warrant for the applicable Company Warrant and such Company Warrant shall be canceled. From and after the Closing, Parent shall comply with all of the terms and conditions set forth in any such Replacement Warrant and the Replacement Warrant Agreement.

(d) To the extent Replacement Warrants are issued pursuant to this Section 2.3, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted as set forth in clause (a) of the proviso in the definition thereof.

2.4 Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (i) all holders of Company Ordinary Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as members of the Company other than the right to receive the consideration contemplated by Section 2.1, cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant

to Section 2.1(d) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.5(c); and (ii) the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Ordinary Shares shall be made on such share transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Company Ordinary Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Company or Parent, such Company Ordinary Shares shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 2.5. No later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a true and correct share ledger of the Company with respect to the Company Ordinary Shares, the Company Warrants and the Company Equity Awards. Parent, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to rely upon such information for all purposes of this Agreement and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, none of the Parent Group Parties or the Exchange Agent or their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to any member of the Company (including any holder of Company Warrants or Company Equity Awards) or any other Person relying on or taking actions in accordance with such information.

2.5 Exchange in the Merger.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). Immediately prior to the Effective Time, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2:94b of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent, acting solely in its capacity as exchange agent hereunder and solely for the account and benefit of the former members of the Company, to contribute all of the issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares received by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.1(c) to Parent as a non-cash contribution in kind (inbreng op aandelen anders dan in geld). In consideration of such contribution in kind, at the Effective Time, Parent shall issue (uitgeven) and deliver (leveren) to the Exchange Agent, acting solely in its capacity as exchange agent hereunder and solely for the account and benefit of the former members of the Company, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable uncertificated shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 2.1 represented by a book entry (or appropriate alternative arrangements if certificates representing Parent Common Stock will be issued). Any shares of Parent Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent (including any dividends or other distributions in accordance with Section 2.5(c)), together with the funds held in the Ordinary Shares Trust, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail to the record holders of Company Ordinary Shares, if required by the processes and procedures of the Exchange Agent, a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form for a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands that specifies that delivery of the Exchange Fund to the registered holders of Company Ordinary Shares shall be effected) and containing such provisions as Parent and the Company reasonably agree prior to the Effective Time. Exchange of Company Ordinary Shares shall be effected in accordance with the Exchange Agent’s customary procedures with respect to securities represented by book entry. Upon delivery of a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent, each holder of Company Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor uncertificated shares of Parent Common Stock represented by a book entry (or appropriate alternative arrangements if certificates representing Parent Common Stock will be issued) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.1, cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(d) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.5(c).

(c) Dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to holders of Company Ordinary Shares with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holders are entitled, through the Exchange Agent acting for their account and benefit, as a result of the Merger (subject to the effect of applicable escheat law or similar Legal Requirement, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Ordinary Shares as of the date 12 months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of Company Ordinary Shares who have not theretofore submitted a letter of transmittal shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Parent Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(d), and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock, in each case without interest thereon.

(e) Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Company, Merger Sub and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold, or cause to be deducted or withheld, from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local, or non-U.S. Tax Legal Requirements or under any other applicable Legal Requirement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent deduction and withholding is required, such deduction and withholding may be taken in Parent Common Stock). To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the relevant Governmental Body, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction or withholding was made, and, if withholding is taken in Parent Common Stock, the relevant withholding party shall be treated as having sold such Parent Common Stock on behalf of such Person for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value thereof at the time of the withholding (which fair market value shall be deemed to be the closing price of shares of Parent Common Stock on the NYSE on the Closing Date) and having paid such cash proceeds to the appropriate Governmental Body.

(f) Neither Parent nor the Surviving Company shall be liable to any holder or former holder of Company Ordinary Shares or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or for any cash amounts, properly delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law, or similar Legal Requirement.

2.6 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Company with full right, title, and possession of and to all rights and property of, with respect to the Surviving Company, Merger Sub or the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Company and Parent as applicable, shall be fully authorized (in the name of the applicable Party) to take such action.

5.3 Access to Information.

(a) Each Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, afford to the Other Party and its Representatives, until the Effective Time, reasonable access, at reasonable times upon reasonable prior notice, to the officers, key employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of such Party and its Subsidiaries and to their books, records, Contracts and documents and shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, furnish as promptly as reasonably practicable to the Other Party and its Representatives such information concerning its and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties, Contracts, records and personnel as may be reasonably requested, from time to time, by or on behalf of the Other Party. Each Party and its Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Other Party or its Subsidiaries or otherwise cause any unreasonable interference with the prompt and timely discharge by the employees of the Other Party and its Subsidiaries of their normal duties. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(a), neither Party shall be required to, or to cause any of its Subsidiaries to, grant access or furnish information to the Other Party or any of its Representatives to the extent that such information is subject to attorney-client privilege or the attorney work-product doctrine or that such access or the furnishing of such information is prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and the Cayman Islands Data Protection Act (As Revised)) or an existing Contract or agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall not have access to personnel records of the Other Party or any of its Subsidiaries relating to individual performance or evaluation records, medical histories or other information that in the Other Party’s good faith opinion the disclosure of which could subject the Other Party or any of its Subsidiaries to risk of liability.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be permitted to conduct any sampling or analysis of any environmental media or building materials at any facility of the Other Party or its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Other Party, which may be granted or withheld in the Other Party’s sole discretion. Each Party agrees that it will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, use any information obtained pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) for any purpose unrelated to the consummation of the Transactions.

(b) The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall apply to all information furnished thereunder or hereunder.

5.4 Notification.

. The Company shall give notice to Parent as promptly as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of any condition, event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions in Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) not being met, and Parent shall give notice to the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of any condition, event or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to result in any of the conditions in Section 6.3(a) or 6.3(b) not being met; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement.

5.5 No Solicitation by the Company.

(a) Except as expressly permitted in this Section 5.5, the Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, affiliates, agents and other representatives (the “Agents”) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information), or take any other action designed to lead to, any inquiries or the making or submission of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any non-public information or data to, any Person that has made a Company Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Proposal, (iii) accept a Company Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement (other than an Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement in circumstances contemplated in this Section 5.5), including any letter of intent or agreement in principle, providing for or relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal, (iv) amend or grant any waiver, release or modification under, or fail to enforce, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (v) resolve to do any of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any action taken by any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or by any Agents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.5 shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.5 by the Company, regardless of (x) whether such Agent is authorized to take such action, (y) whether such Agent is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, and (z) any contrary instruction given to such Agent by the Company or any of its other Agents pursuant to this Section 5.5 or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company and the Company Board, as applicable, may take any actions described in clause (ii) of this Section 5.5(a) with respect to a third-party if at any time prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval (A) the Company receives a written Company Acquisition Proposal from such third-party that the

Company Board believes in good faith is bona fide, (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Superior Proposal, and (C) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to participate in such negotiations or discussions or to furnish such information or data to such third-party would be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, provided that (1) such Company Acquisition Proposal was received after the date of this Agreement, such Company Acquisition Proposal was not solicited in, or otherwise was not the result of a, violation of this Section 5.5 and such Company Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn, (2) the Company provides to Parent the notice required by Section 5.5(e) with respect to such Company Acquisition Proposal and (3) the Company shall not deliver any information to such third-party without entering into a customary confidentiality agreement with such third-party containing limitations on the use and disclosure of non-public information furnished to such third-party that are substantially similar to, and are no less favorable to the Company in the aggregate than, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement does not contain provisions that would prohibit the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with this Section 5.5 or otherwise prohibits the Company from complying with the provisions of this Section 5.5 (an “Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement”).

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.5(c) or Section 5.5(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall directly or indirectly (i) (A) withhold, withdraw, modify, qualify or fail to make, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, modify, qualify or fail to make, in any manner adverse to Parent, the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any such committee thereof of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Company Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (A) constituting or related to, or that is intended to or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Company Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement permitted pursuant to Section 5.5(a)) or (B) requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) resolve, propose, agree or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, a public statement that merely describes the Company’s receipt of a Company Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change so long as the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such public statement.

(c) If the Company receives a Company Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited in, or otherwise was not the result of a, violation of Section 5.5(a), and that the Company Board believes in good faith is bona fide, and the Company Board (x) after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, concludes that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and (y) following consultation with outside legal

counsel, determines that the failure of the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, then the Company Board may at any time prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval, effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that the Company Board may not take such action pursuant to the foregoing unless and until:

(i) the Company has provided prior notice (which notice must state that the Company Board has made the determinations described in, and in accordance with, the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) of Section 5.5(c)) to Parent specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such action (including a description of the material terms of such Company Superior Proposal, identifying the Person or group making such Company Superior Proposal and delivering to Parent a copy of the proposed definitive agreement providing for such Company Superior Proposal in the form to be entered into and any other relevant proposed transaction agreements) at least four Business Days in advance of its intention to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change (the period inclusive of all such days, the “Company Notice Period”) (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the terms of a Company Superior Proposal shall require a new notice pursuant to this Section 5.5(c) and a new Company Notice Period, except that such new Company Notice Period in connection with any amendment shall be for three Business Days from the time Parent receives such notice (as opposed to four Business Days));

(ii) during the Company Notice Period, the Company has negotiated with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would obviate the need for the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change; and

(iii) at the end of the Company Notice Period, the Company Board again concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, and taking into account any adjustment or modification to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by Parent, that such Company Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal and that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Company Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements.

(d) Other than in connection with a Company Acquisition Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 5.5(c) and shall not be subject to this Section 5.5(d)), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Company Board from making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change at any time prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Approval in response to a Company Intervening Event to the extent that (i) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, and (ii) (A) the Company provides Parent four Business Days’ notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify the reasons therefor and describe the Company Intervening Event in reasonable detail, (B) after providing such notice and prior to making such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent during such four Business Day period (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would obviate the need for the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Recommendation

Change, and (C) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement offered in writing by Parent, and following such four Business Day period, shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Company Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements. “Company Intervening Event” means a material development or change in circumstances with respect to the Company that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement that was neither known to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Agents as of the date of this Agreement nor reasonably foreseeable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Agents as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the receipt, existence or terms of a Company Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto or of consequence thereof constitute a Company Intervening Event.

(e) The Company agrees that in addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 5.5, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof (but in no event later than 24 hours after the Company’s receipt thereof), the Company shall advise Parent in writing of any request for information (other than a request for information in the ordinary course of business and unrelated to a Company Acquisition Proposal) or any Company Acquisition Proposal received from any Person, or any inquiry, discussions or negotiations with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms and conditions of such request, Company Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, discussions or negotiations, and the Company shall promptly provide to Parent (i) copies of any written materials and draft agreements received by the Company in connection with any of the foregoing, (ii) the identity of the Person or group making any such request, Company Acquisition Proposal or inquiry or with whom any discussions or negotiations are taking place, (iii) a non-redacted copy of each Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement executed by the Company, and (iv) any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person or group in connection with any Company Acquisition Proposal which was not previously provided to Parent. The Company shall keep Parent promptly informed of the status of any Company Acquisition Proposal (including any changes to the material terms and conditions thereof). The Company agrees not to release any third-party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any such agreement at the request of or on behalf of Parent, including initiating and prosecuting litigation seeking appropriate equitable relief (where available) and, to the extent applicable, damages.

(f) The Company will and will cause its Subsidiaries and will instruct its and their respective Agents to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Person (other than Parent and its Agents) conducted on or prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Company Acquisition Proposal (which, for this purpose, need not have been an unsolicited proposal). Within one Business Day of the date of this Agreement the Company shall deliver a written notice to each third-party that has received non-public information regarding the Company within the six months prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with the Company for purposes of evaluating any transaction that could be a Company Acquisition Proposal and for whom no similar notice has been delivered prior to the date of this Agreement requesting the prompt return or destruction of all non-public information concerning the Company and any of its Subsidiaries heretofore furnished to such third-party or its representatives. The Company will immediately terminate any physical and electronic data access related to any such potential Company Acquisition Proposal previously granted to such third-party or its representatives.

(g) For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any bona fide proposal, whether or not in writing, for the (i) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business or assets that (in the aggregate) constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or the assets (based on the fair market value thereof) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of any class of or capital stock of or any partnership or other equity interest in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whose business (in the aggregate) constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) merger, consolidation, restructuring, transfer of assets or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, partnership or other equity interest, tender offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, stock repurchase program or other similar transaction or series of transactions that if consummated would result in any Person or Persons beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of capital stock of, or any partnership or other equity interest in, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries whose business (in the aggregate) constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The term “Company Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof that was not solicited in, or otherwise was not the result of a, violation of this Section 5.5, made by a third-party to purchase all or substantially all of the assets or all of the outstanding equity securities of the Company pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer or merger on terms which the Company Board determines in good faith to be superior to the Company and its members (in their capacity as members) as compared to the transactions contemplated hereby and to any alternative transaction or changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent pursuant to Section 5.5(c) (after consultation with its financial advisors, and taking into account all terms and conditions of the Company Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement, including the terms of any financing or financing contingencies and the likely timing of closing, and the Person making the proposal, and any changes to the terms of this Agreement offered by Parent in response to such Company Superior Proposal).

5.6 No Solicitation by Parent.

(a) Except as expressly permitted in this Section 5.6, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Agents not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate (including by way of furnishing non-public information), or take any other action designed to lead to, any inquiries or the making or submission of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Parent Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or furnish any non-public information or data to, any Person that has made a Parent Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, (iii) accept a Parent Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement (other than an Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement in circumstances contemplated in this Section 5.6), including any letter of intent or agreement in principle, providing for or relating to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, (iv) amend or grant any waiver, release or modification under, or fail to enforce, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of Parent or any of its

Subsidiaries, or (v) resolve to do any of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any action taken by any of Parent’s Subsidiaries or by any Agents of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries that, if taken by Parent, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.6 shall constitute a breach of this Section 5.6 by Parent, regardless of (x) whether such Agent is authorized to take such action, (y) whether such Agent is purporting to act on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise, and (z) any contrary instruction given to such Agent by Parent or any of its other Agents pursuant to this Section 5.6 or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent and the Parent Board, as applicable, may take any actions described in clause (ii) of this Section 5.6(a) with respect to a third-party if at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Requisite Approval (A) Parent receives a written Parent Acquisition Proposal from such third-party that the Parent Board believes in good faith is bona fide, (B) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such proposal constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Parent Superior Proposal, and (C) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to participate in such negotiations or discussions or to furnish such information or data to such third-party would be inconsistent with the Parent Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, provided that (1) such Parent Acquisition Proposal was received after the date of this Agreement, such Parent Acquisition Proposal was not solicited in, or otherwise was not the result of a, violation of this Section 5.6 and such Parent Acquisition Proposal has not been withdrawn, (2) Parent provides to the Company the notice required by Section (e) with respect to such Parent Acquisition Proposal and (3) Parent shall not deliver any information to such third-party without entering into a customary confidentiality agreement with such third-party containing limitations on the use and disclosure of non-public information furnished to such third-party that are substantially similar to, and are no less favorable to Parent in the aggregate than, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such confidentiality agreement does not contain provisions that would prohibit Parent from providing any information to the Company in accordance with this Section 5.6 or otherwise prohibits Parent from complying with the provisions of this Section 5.6 (an “Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement”). Nothing contained in this Section 5.6 shall prohibit Parent or the Parent Board from taking and disclosing to Parent’s shareholders a position with respect to a Parent Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rule 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or from making any similar disclosure, in either case to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication or similar communication of the type contemplated by Section 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be deemed to be a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Parent Board expressly reaffirms the Parent Board Recommendation in such disclosure and expressly rejects any applicable Parent Acquisition Proposal.

(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.6(c) or Section 5.6(d), neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall directly or indirectly (i) (A) withhold, withdraw, modify, qualify or fail to make, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, modify, qualify or fail to make, in any manner adverse to the Company, the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Parent Board or any such committee thereof of this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Parent Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”), (ii) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, or allow Parent or any of

its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (A) constituting or related to, or that is intended to or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Parent Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement permitted pursuant to Section 5.6(a)) or (B) requiring it to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) resolve, propose, agree or publicly announce an intention to do any of the foregoing. For the avoidance of doubt, a public statement that merely describes Parent’s receipt of a Parent Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change so long as the Parent Board expressly reaffirms the Parent Board Recommendation in such public statement.

(c) If Parent receives a Parent Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited in, or otherwise was not the result of a, violation of Section 5.6(a), and that the Parent Board believes in good faith is bona fide, and the Parent Board (x) after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, concludes that such Parent Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Parent Superior Proposal and (y) following consultation with outside legal counsel, determines that the failure of the Parent Board to make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, then the Parent Board may at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Requisite Approval, effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, that the Parent Board may not take such action pursuant to the foregoing unless and until:

(i) Parent has provided prior notice (which notice must state that the Parent Board has made the determinations described in, and in accordance with, the foregoing clauses (x) and (y) of Section (c)) to the Company specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such action (including a description of the material terms of such Parent Superior Proposal, identifying the Person or group making such Parent Superior Proposal and delivering to the Company a copy of the proposed definitive agreement providing for such Parent Superior Proposal in the form to be entered into and any other relevant proposed transaction agreements) at least four Business Days in advance of its intention to make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change (the period inclusive of all such days, the “Parent Notice Period”) (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the terms of a Parent Superior Proposal shall require a new notice pursuant to this Section 5.6(c) and a new Parent Notice Period, except that such new Parent Notice Period in connection with any amendment shall be for three Business Days from the time the Company receives such notice (as opposed to four Business Days));

(ii) during the Parent Notice Period, Parent has negotiated with the Company in good faith (to the extent the Company desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would obviate the need for the Parent Board to make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change; and

(iii) at the end of the Parent Notice Period, the Parent Board again concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, and taking into account any adjustment or modification to the terms and conditions of this Agreement proposed by the Company, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal and that the failure of the Parent Board to effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Parent Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements.

(d) Other than in connection with a Parent Acquisition Proposal (which shall be subject to Section 5.6(c) and shall not be subject to this Section 5.6(d)), nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the Parent Board from making a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Requisite Approval in response to a Parent Intervening Event to the extent that (i) the Parent Board determines in good faith, after consultation with Parent’s outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Parent Board to effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements, and (ii) (A) Parent provides the Company four Business Days’ notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall specify the reasons therefor, and describe the Parent Intervening Event in reasonable detail, (B) after providing such notice and prior to making such Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, Parent shall negotiate in good faith with the Company during such four Business Day period (to the extent that the Company desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would obviate the need for the Parent Board to make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, and (C) the Parent Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement offered in writing by the Company, and following such four Business Day period, shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the failure of the Parent Board to effect a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Parent Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements. “Parent Intervening Event” means a material development or change in circumstances with respect to Parent that occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement that was neither known to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Agents as of the date of this Agreement nor reasonably foreseeable to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Agents as of the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the receipt, existence or terms of a Parent Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto or of consequence thereof constitute a Parent Intervening Event.

(e) Parent agrees that in addition to the obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 5.6, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof (but in no event later than 24 hours after Parent’s receipt thereof), Parent shall advise the Company in writing of any request for information (other than a request for information in the ordinary course of business and unrelated to a Parent Acquisition Proposal) or any Parent Acquisition Proposal received from any Person, or any inquiry, discussions or negotiations with respect to any Parent Acquisition Proposal, and the material terms and conditions of such request, Parent Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, discussions or negotiations, and Parent shall promptly provide to the Company (i) copies of any written materials and draft agreements received by Parent in connection with any of the foregoing, (ii) the identity of the Person or group making any such request, Parent Acquisition Proposal or inquiry or with whom any discussions or negotiations are taking place, (iii) a non-redacted copy of each Acceptable Parent Confidentiality Agreement executed by Parent, and (iv) any non-public information concerning Parent or any of its Subsidiaries provided to any other Person or group in connection with any Parent Acquisition Proposal which was not previously provided to the Company. Parent shall keep the Company promptly informed of the status of any Parent Acquisition Proposal (including any changes to the material terms and conditions thereof). Parent agrees not to release any third-party from, or waive any provisions of, any confidentiality or standstill agreement to which Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is a party and will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce any such agreement at the request of or on behalf of the Company, including initiating and prosecuting litigation seeking appropriate equitable relief (where available) and, to the extent applicable, damages.

(f) Parent will and will cause its Subsidiaries and will instruct its and their respective Agents to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Person (other than the Company and its Agents) conducted on or prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Parent Acquisition Proposal (which, for this purpose, need not have been an unsolicited proposal). Within one Business Day of the date of this Agreement, Parent shall deliver a written notice to each third-party that has received non-public information regarding Parent within the six months prior to the date of this Agreement pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with Parent for purposes of evaluating any transaction that could be a Parent Acquisition Proposal and for whom no similar notice has been delivered prior to the date of this Agreement requesting the prompt return or destruction of all non-public information concerning Parent and any of its Subsidiaries heretofore furnished to such third-party or its representatives. Parent will immediately terminate any physical and electronic data access related to any such potential Parent Acquisition Proposal previously granted to such third-party or its representatives.

(g) For purposes of this Agreement, “Parent Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any bona fide proposal, whether or not in writing, for the (i) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business or assets that (in the aggregate) constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or the assets (based on the fair market value thereof) of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of any class of or capital stock of or any partnership or other equity interest in, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries whose business (in the aggregate) constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (iii) merger, consolidation, restructuring, transfer of assets or other business combination, sale of shares of capital stock, partnership or other equity interest, tender offer, exchange offer, recapitalization, stock repurchase program or other similar transaction or series of transactions that if consummated would result in any Person or Persons beneficially owning 20% or more of any class of capital stock of, or any partnership or other equity interest in, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries whose business (in the aggregate) constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The term “Parent Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written Parent Acquisition Proposal made after the date hereof that was not solicited in, or otherwise was not the result of a, violation of this Section 5.6, made by a third-party to purchase all or substantially all of the assets or all of the outstanding equity securities of Parent pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer or merger on terms which the Parent Board determines in good faith to be superior to Parent and its business taking into account its shareholders, employees and other relevant stakeholders as compared to the transactions contemplated hereby and to any alternative transaction or changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by the Company pursuant to Section 5.6(c) (after consultation with its financial advisors, and taking into account the strategic rationale, all terms and conditions of the Parent Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement, including the terms of any financing or financing contingencies and the likely timing of closing, and the Person making the proposal, and any changes to the terms of this Agreement offered by the Company in response to such Parent Superior Proposal).

5.7 Registration Statement.

(a) Promptly following the date hereof, Parent and the Company shall cooperate in preparing, and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, a Registration Statement (in which a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to matters to be submitted to the holders of Parent Common Stock at the Parent Shareholder Meeting shall be included as a prospectus). Parent and the Company shall each use reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement to comply with the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff. Parent and the Company shall each use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon after such filing as reasonably practicable and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as is necessary to consummate the Merger. Parent will advise the Company promptly after it receives any request by the SEC for amendment of the Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or any request by the SEC for additional information and Parent and the Company shall jointly prepare any response to such comments or requests, and Parent agrees to permit the Company (to the extent practicable), and its counsel, to participate in all meetings and conferences with the SEC. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause all documents that it is responsible for filing with the SEC in connection with the Transactions to comply as to form and substance in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or mailing the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, Parent will (A) provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response (including the proposed final version of such document or response), (B) include in such document or response all comments reasonably and promptly proposed by the Company and (C) not file or mail such document or respond to the SEC prior to receiving the approval of the Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) Parent shall make all necessary filings with respect to the Merger and the Transactions under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and applicable Blue Sky Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Parent will advise the Company, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order or the suspension of the qualification of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger for offering or sale in any jurisdiction. Parent will use reasonable best efforts to have any such stop order or suspension lifted, reversed or otherwise terminated.

(c) If at any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent or the Company should determine that any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, officers or directors, should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Proxy Statement so that such documents would not include any

misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the Other Party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by Parent with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, disseminated to the shareholders of Parent.

(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the date of its effectiveness, the Registration Statement shall publicly disclose all confidential information that constitutes material non-public information within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws of or pertaining to the Transactions or of or pertaining to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates that was shared with or made available by or at the direction or with the consent of Parent to the Company or its members or Representatives in connection with the Transactions.

5.8 Cooperation; Regulatory Approvals.

(a) Except to the extent that the Parties’ obligations are specifically set forth elsewhere in this Article 5, the Parties shall cooperate fully with each other and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Transactions to be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable (including by using reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions to closing set forth in Article 6 to be satisfied). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parties (i) shall, subject to Section 5.8(b), make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) that are required to be made by such Party with any Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions, and shall submit as promptly as reasonably practicable any additional information requested in connection with such filings and notices, (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Contract, or otherwise) by such Party in connection with the Transactions, and (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to oppose or to lift, as the case may be, any restraint, injunction, or other legal bar to the Transactions. The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable deliver to Parent a copy of each such filing made, each such notice given, and each such Consent obtained, by the Company (other than such filings, notices and Consents related to Antitrust Laws, the obligations with respect to which are set forth in Section 5.8(b)), and Parent shall as promptly as reasonably practicable deliver to the Company a copy of each such filing made, each such notice given, and each such Consent obtained, by Parent (other than such filings, notices and Consents related to Antitrust Laws, the obligations with respect to which are set forth in Section 5.8(b)); provided, however, that the Parties shall be permitted to redact confidential or competitively sensitive information, including information relating to the valuation of the Transaction.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.8(a), the Company and Parent shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and with respect to the HSR Act, in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, prepare and file all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) that, as mutually agreed by Parent and the Company, are required to be made by such Party with any Governmental Body in connection with the Transactions, including the filings set forth on Section 6.1(c) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as the United States Federal Trade Commission, the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice, state antitrust enforcement authorities or competition authorities of any other nation or other

jurisdiction, or any other Person, may assert under any Legal Requirement with respect to the Transactions, and to avoid or eliminate, and minimize the impact of, each and every impediment under any Legal Requirement that may be asserted by any Governmental Body with respect to the Merger, in each case so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date); provided further, that Parent or the Company, as applicable, may take any reasonable action to resist or reduce the scope of any action that has been proposed by any such Governmental Body so long as it does not delay the consummation of the Transactions to a date later than the End Date. The Company and Parent shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any Governmental Body in connection with antitrust or related matters. Each of the Company and Parent shall (i) give the Other Party notice as promptly as reasonably practicable of the commencement or threat of commencement of any Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the Transactions, (ii) keep the Other Party informed as to the status of any such Legal Proceeding or threat, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable inform the Other Party of any material communication concerning Antitrust Laws to or from any Governmental Body regarding the Transactions (provided, however, that the Parties shall be permitted to redact any communication to the extent such communication contains confidential or competitively sensitive information, including information relating to the valuation of the Transactions). Except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, the Company and Parent will consult and cooperate with one another, and will consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion, or proposal made or submitted in connection with any Legal Proceeding under or relating to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law. Except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, in connection with any Legal Proceeding under or relating to the HSR Act, each of the Parent and the Company will permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to any such Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion, or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with any such Legal Proceeding.

5.9 Disclosure. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing any press release, making any public statement or disclosure, or making any internal statement or announcement to the management or employee base of the Other Party, as applicable, with respect to the Transactions and neither shall take any of the foregoing actions without the prior approval of the other (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Legal Requirements or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, in which case the Party proposing to take such actions shall first, to the extent practicable, consult with the Other Party about, and allow the Other Party reasonable time to comment in advance on, such press release, announcement, disclosure or statement; provided, however, that no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to restrict in any manner a Party’s ability to communicate with its employees and that neither Party shall be required by any provision of this Agreement to consult with or obtain any approval from any Other Party with respect to a public announcement or press release issued in connection with the receipt and existence of a Company Acquisition Proposal or a Parent Acquisition Proposal, as applicable, and matters related thereto or a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, other than as set forth in Section 5.5 or Section 5.6, as applicable.

5.10 Listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement to be approved for listing (subject to official notice of issuance) on the NYSE prior to the Closing Date.

5.11 Takeover Laws and Provisions. The Parties acknowledge that certain Takeover Laws under the Companies Act will apply to the Transactions. The Parties shall not take any action that would cause the Transactions to be subject to requirements imposed by any other Takeover Laws. For any Takeover Laws that are or may become applicable to the Transactions, each of Parent and the Company and their respective board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Takeover Law on the Transactions.

5.12 Parent Shareholder Approval; Company Member Approval.

(a) Parent shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and the Organizational Documents of Parent to duly give notice of, convene and hold the Parent Shareholder Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Parent Requisite Approval, with such Parent Shareholder Meeting to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC. Except as permitted by Section 5.6(c) or 5.6(d), the Parent Board shall recommend that the shareholders of Parent approve and adopt this Agreement, the Parent Amended Articles, the Parent Reverse Stock Split, the Parent Board Changes and the Transactions, including the Parent Stock Issuance, and the Parent Board shall solicit from shareholders of Parent proxies in favor of such matters, and the Proxy Statement shall include the Parent Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent (i) shall be required to cancel and reconvene the Parent Shareholder Meeting (A) to the extent necessary to ensure that any legally required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided to Parent’s shareholders or (B) if, as of the time for which the Parent Shareholder Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at such Parent Shareholder Meeting and (ii) may cancel and reconvene the Parent Shareholder Meeting if, as of the time for which the Parent Shareholder Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Parent Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to obtain the Parent Requisite Approval; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the Parent Shareholder Meeting shall not be cancelled and reconvened on a date that is more than 15 Business Days after the date for which the meeting was previously scheduled (it being understood that such Parent Shareholder Meeting shall be cancelled and reconvened every time the circumstances described in the foregoing clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) exist, and such Parent Shareholder Meeting may be cancelled and reconvened every time the circumstances described in the foregoing clause (ii) exist); and provided further that the Parent Shareholder Meeting shall not be cancelled and reconvened on a date on or after three Business Days prior to the End Date. Once Parent has established a record date for the Parent Shareholder Meeting, Parent shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Parent Shareholder Meeting without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required to do so by applicable Legal Requirements or its Organizational Documents or in connection with a cancellation and reconvening permitted hereunder.

(b) Within one Business Day following the date that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall cause, pursuant to the Company Shareholders Agreement, written notice to be provided to each Dragged Holder of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and of the obligation of each such Dragged Holder to return an executed version of the Company Written Consent by the fifth Business Day following the date of such notice. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Company Written Consent from all holders of outstanding Company Ordinary Shares, including by facilitating the Company Board’s exercise of the irrevocable proxy set forth in the Company Shareholders Agreement and facilitating the exercise by the Company Designated Members of their right to require specific performance of the terms of the Company Shareholders Agreement. In the event the Company Written Consent is not obtained from all holders of outstanding Company Ordinary Shares within ten Business Days following the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall take all action necessary in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, the Organizational Documents of the Company and the Company Shareholders Agreement to duly give notice of, convene and hold a general meeting of the Company’s members to approve the Transactions (such meeting, if applicable, the “Company Member Meeting”) for the purpose of obtaining the Company Requisite Approval and exercising the Drag-Along Rights of the Drag-Along Sellers in accordance with Article 3 and Section 9.02 of the Company Shareholders Agreement, with such Company Member Meeting to be held as promptly as reasonably practicable following (and in any event within 20 Business Days of) the Registration Statement being declared effective by the SEC. The Company shall timely send copies of all required information and documentation to the members of the Company in connection with the Company Member Meeting in accordance with the Companies Act. Except as permitted by Section 5.5(c) or 5.5(d) of this Agreement, the Company Board shall recommend that the members of the Company approve and adopt this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions, and such information and documentation shall include the Company Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company (i) shall be required to adjourn or postpone the Company Member Meeting (A) to the extent necessary to ensure that any legally required information is provided to the holders of outstanding Company Ordinary Shares or (B) if, as of the time for which the Company Member Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at such Company Member Meeting and (ii) may adjourn or postpone the Company Member Meeting if, as of the time for which the Company Member Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to obtain the Company Requisite Approval; provided, however, that unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties, the Company Member Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date that is more than 15 Business Days after the date for which the meeting was previously scheduled (it being understood that such Company Member Meeting shall be adjourned or postponed every time the circumstances described in the foregoing clauses (i)(A) and (i)(B) exist, and such Company Member Meeting may be adjourned or postponed every time the circumstances described in the foregoing clause (ii) exist); and provided further that the Company Member Meeting shall not be adjourned or postponed to a date on or after three Business Days prior to the End Date. Once the Company has established a record date for the Company Member Meeting,

the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Company Member Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required to do so by applicable Legal Requirements or its Organizational Documents or in connection with a postponement or adjournment permitted hereunder.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Article 7, each of Parent and the Company agrees that its obligations to call, give notice of, convene and hold the Parent Shareholder Meeting and the Company Member Meeting or to seek to obtain the Company Written Consent, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall not be affected by the making of a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change or a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, as applicable, and its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall not be affected by the commencement, announcement, disclosure, or communication to the Company or Parent, as applicable, of any Company Acquisition Proposal or Parent Acquisition Proposal or other proposal (including a Company Superior Proposal or Parent Superior Proposal) or the occurrence or disclosure of any Company Intervening Event or Parent Intervening Event.

5.13 Entity Formation and Contribution. No later than three Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall (i) form a new exempted company limited by shares incorporated under the Companies Act as a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) make an initial classification election to treat such exempted company as an entity disregarded as separate from the Company for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income Tax purposes. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall contribute to such newly formed and exempted company, for no consideration, all of the Company’s equity interests in any direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (other than equity interests of such exempted company).

5.14 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Treatment.

(i) Each of the Parties intends that the Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to so qualify and shall prepare and file all of its Tax Returns consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment and, unless required to do so pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code, take no position inconsistent with (whether in Tax Returns, Tax proceedings, or otherwise) the Intended Tax Treatment.

(ii) Parent and the Company hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). Neither Parent nor the Company shall take or cause to be taken any action which action could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment.

(b) Tax Matters Cooperation. Each of the Parties shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to) cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by another Party, in connection with the filing of relevant Tax Returns and any Tax proceeding. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Other Party’s request) the provision (with the right to make copies) of records and information reasonably relevant to any Tax proceeding or audit, making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(c) Transfer Taxes. Parent shall be responsible for and shall pay all U.S. state, U.S. local and all non-U.S. excise, sales, use, value-added, and transfer Taxes (including real property transfer, stamp, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar Taxes) payable as a result of or in connection with the execution of this Agreement, the Merger and the issuance of Parent Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement (together, “Transfer Taxes”), if any. Parent shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to minimize, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, the amount of any such Transfer Taxes.

5.15 Employee Benefits.

(a) Following the Effective Time, and for at least 12 months thereafter (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to those individuals employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) immediately after the Effective Time (each, a “Continuing Employee”) with annual base salaries or wage levels, as applicable, target annual cash incentive opportunities, and other employee benefits (excluding any equity-based incentives, change in control bonuses, and defined benefit retirement plan benefits) that, in the aggregate, are substantially comparable to those provided to the Continuing Employees immediately prior to the Closing Date but in each case, giving effect to any scheduled restoration of previously reduced compensation; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.15 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Company to (x) amend or terminate the employment of any individual or to amend or terminate any employee benefit plan, program, or arrangement, (y) make such adjustments that are determined by Parent or Surviving Company in good faith to be appropriate in order to create uniform compensation practices for Continuing Employees across all organizations of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company), or (z) integrate employee benefit plans, programs, or arrangements. Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted to require Parent or the Surviving Company to provide for the participation of any Continuing Employee in any Parent Benefit Plan or Company Benefit Plan, as applicable. This Section 5.15 is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, to create any agreement of employment with any Person or otherwise to create any third-party beneficiary hereunder, or to be interpreted as an amendment to any plan of Parent, the Surviving Company, or any affiliate of Parent. Furthermore, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to create a right in any Continuing Employee to employment with Parent, the Surviving Company, or any other Subsidiary of Parent and, subject to any agreement between a Continuing Employee and Parent, the Surviving Company or any other Subsidiary of Parent, the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

(b) As of the Closing Date, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to each Continuing Employee under each employee benefit plan, program and arrangement established or maintained by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Company) in which Continuing Employees may be eligible to participate after the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Plans”), credit for full or partial years of service with Parent, the Company or any Affiliates (including any predecessors) performed at any time prior to the Closing Date to the extent such service was taken into account under the analogous Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that no such prior service shall be taken into account to the extent it would result in the duplication of benefits to any Continuing Employee.

(c) For purposes of each Post-Closing Plan providing medical, dental, prescription drug and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall use or shall cause to be used, commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions, actively-at-work requirements, and waiting periods of such Post-Closing Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, to the extent any such exclusions or requirements were waived or were inapplicable under the analogous benefit plan immediately prior to the Closing Date, and to the extent consistent with the governing terms of the Post-Closing Plan. Parent shall use, or shall cause to be used, commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Post-Closing Plan to provide each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents prior to the Closing Date and in the same plan year as the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs for purposes of satisfying any applicable deductible, coinsurance, or maximum out-of-pocket requirements under the analogous Post-Closing Plan for its plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, to the extent consistent with the governing terms of the Post-Closing Plan.

(d) Parent shall honor all severance plans and policies, which, for sake of clarity, include plans and policies that provide for post-termination payments, covering the Continuing Employees in effect as of immediately prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions as in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, during the Continuation Period, Parent shall not amend any such plan or policy in any manner that materially reduces participants’ rights or benefits under such plan or policy or terminate any such plan or policy. For the sake of clarity, the foregoing proviso shall not in any way limit the rights of any participants in any Parent severance plan or policy as in effect as of the date hereof.

5.16 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) From the Effective Time and until the six year anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Tail Period”), Parent and the Surviving Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each present and former director and officer of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries and each natural person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another Person if such service was at the request of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (collectively, and together with such Person’s heirs, executors or administrators, the “Indemnified Persons”), against any costs or expenses, including attorneys’ fees (including the advancement of such costs and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities or settlements incurred in connection with any Legal Proceeding arising out of or related to such Indemnified Persons’ service as a director or officer of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries or services

performed by such natural persons at the request of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Person.

(b) All rights to indemnification, advancement or expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions under Parent’s and the Company’s Organizational Documents or indemnification Contracts or undertakings existing in favor of the Indemnified Persons, as applicable, shall survive the Merger and shall be observed by Parent and the Surviving Company without any further action (and Parent shall fully guarantee the performance and payment thereof by the Surviving Company). Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, from and after the Effective Time, shall cause, unless otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Organizational Documents of Parent and the Surviving Company to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnified Persons with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are set forth as of the date of this Agreement in the Organizational Documents of Parent and the Company, as applicable, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnified Persons.

(c) Parent shall purchase tail policies to the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained on the date of this Agreement by Parent and the Company, as applicable, which tail policies (i) shall be from one or more insurance carriers with the same or better credit rating as Parent’s or the Company’s insurance carrier, as applicable, with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance, (ii) shall be effective from the Effective Time through and including the date six years after the Closing Date with respect to claims arising from facts or events that existed or occurred prior to or at the Effective Time, with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as Parent’s or the Company’s existing director and officer policies, as applicable, with respect to claims arising from facts, events, acts or omissions that occurred on or prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) with respect to the policy obtained for the Company’s directors and officers, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If Parent for any reason fails to obtain such tail insurance policies as of the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) continue to maintain in effect for the Tail Period the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained as of the date of this Agreement, or (ii) purchase comparable directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance for the Tail Period, in each case with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable as those provided in Parent’s or the Company’s existing director and officer policies, as applicable; provided that in connection with such insurance policies, Parent shall not pay in respect of any one policy year annual premiums in excess of 400% of the current annual premiums paid by Parent and the Company, as applicable, set forth in Section 5.16(c) of the Parent Disclosure Schedule and Section 5.16(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, respectively, but in such case Parent shall purchase the maximum amount of coverage that can be obtained for 400% of the current annual premiums paid by Parent and the Company, as applicable.

(d) Prior to or in connection with the Closing, the Company may purchase, subject to Parent’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), “go-forward” directors’ and officers’ insurance to cover the post-Closing directors and officers of Parent. From and after the date of this Agreement, Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith with respect to any efforts to obtain such “go-forward” directors’ and officers’ insurance, and the Company shall include Parent in all communications with an insurance broker mutually selected by Parent and the Company and any underwriters regarding the placement of such “go-forward” directors’ and officers’ insurance.

(e) If Parent or the Surviving Company or any of its respective successors or assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, respectively, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.16. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 5.16 is not prior to, or in substation for, any claims under any such policies.

(f) This Section 5.16 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and continue in full force and effect and is intended to benefit, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Person as a third-party beneficiary. The rights of the Indemnified Persons under this Section 5.16 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Persons may have under the Organizational Documents of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable, or under any applicable Contracts or Legal Requirements.

5.17 Transaction Litigation. Each Party shall give the Other Party the opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement of any securityholder litigation against such Party and/or its directors relating to the Transactions, and no such settlement shall be agreed to without the prior written consent of the respective Other Party. Each Party shall cooperate, shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to cooperate and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives to cooperate, in the defense against such litigation.

5.18 Drag Right. The Company shall not take any action to interfere with, delay or frustrate the exercise of the Drag-Along Rights set forth in Article 3 of the Company Shareholders Agreement. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that (a) the Drag-Along Notice (as defined in the Company Shareholders Agreement) is delivered to members of the Company in connection with the Transactions and includes a description reasonably acceptable to Parent of the Drag-Along Rights set forth in Article 3 of the Company Shareholders Agreement and (b) the Company Written Consent includes an option allowing members to vote to effect the Transactions as a Sale Transaction (as defined in the Company Shareholders Agreement) subject to the Drag-Along Rights under Article 3 of the Company Shareholders Agreement and grant their proxy to the Company to deliver any required notices on their behalf pursuant to such Sale Transaction. The Company shall take all actions reasonably requested by Parent to cause the Transactions to be consummated in accordance with the Drag-Along Rights provisions set forth in Article 3 of the Company Shareholders Agreement. The Company shall not permit any member of the Company to Transfer (as defined in the Company Shareholders Agreement) any Company Ordinary Shares except (x) in compliance with, and without any waiver of any requirement under, Section 8.03(c) of the Company Shareholder Agreement and (y) unless the transferee of such Company Ordinary Shares delivers to the Company a written acknowledgment pursuant to which such transferee agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Notice as if originally received by such transferee.

5.19 Resignation of Directors and Officers. Parent and/or the Company shall obtain and deliver to the Other Party at or prior to the Effective Time, the resignation of each corporate director and officer of Parent and/or the Company and their respective Subsidiaries as agreed to by the Parties, effective as of the Effective Time (it being understood that such resignation shall not constitute a voluntary termination of employment with respect to any officer or director of Parent and/or the Company or their respective Subsidiaries).

(d) In the event that (i) a Company Acquisition Proposal (whether or not conditional) has been publicly proposed by any Person (other than Parent or any of its Affiliates) or a Company Acquisition Proposal has otherwise become known to the Company’s directors or officers, or its members generally, (ii) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by either the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(b) or 7.1(h), or by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(d), and (iii) within 12 months after the termination of this Agreement, the Company enters into any definitive agreement providing for a Company Acquisition Proposal, or a Company Acquisition Proposal is consummated (which, in each case, need not be the same Company Acquisition Proposal that was made, disclosed or communicated prior to termination hereof), then the Company shall pay Parent the Company Termination Fee (less the amount of any Parent Expenses, previously paid to Parent pursuant to Section 7.2(f)) upon the first to occur of the events described in clause (iii) of this sentence; provided that, for purposes of this sentence, “Company Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 5.5(g), except that the references to “20% or more” shall be deemed to be references to “50% or more”.

(g) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, no Party would enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if a Party fails promptly to pay or cause to be paid the amounts due pursuant to this Section 7.2, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Other Party commences a suit that results in a judgment against such Party for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.2, such Party shall pay to the Other Party (as the case may be) its reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit and any appeal relating thereto, together with interest on the amounts set forth in this Section 7.2 at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

(h) In no event shall (i) the Company be entitled to receive under this Article 7 an aggregate amount equal to more than the Parent Termination Fee and (ii) Parent be entitled to receive under this Article 7 an aggregate amount equal to more than the Company Termination Fee. For clarity, if either Parent or the Company receives the Company Termination Fee or the Parent Termination Fee, respectively, then Parent or the Company will not be entitled to also receive a payment of the Parent Expenses or Company Expenses, as applicable. In no event shall the payment by Parent or the Company of the Parent Termination Fee or Company Expenses (with respect to Parent) or the Company Termination Fee or Parent Expenses (with respect to the Company) relieve such Party from any liability or damage resulting from fraud or a Willful and Intentional Breach of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

(a) The Company Disclosure Schedule and Parent Disclosure Schedule are arranged in sections corresponding to the Sections of this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, as an exception to a particular representation or warranty shall be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other representations or warranties to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is reasonably apparent from such item, notwithstanding the presence or absence of an appropriate section of the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule with respect to such other representations or warranties or an appropriate cross reference thereto.

In disclosing information in the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, the disclosing Party expressly does not waive any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein.

(c) The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties or otherwise in this Agreement or in the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule, as applicable, is not intended and shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment of the materiality of such amounts or items, nor shall the same be used in any dispute or controversy between the Parties to determine whether any obligation, item or matter (whether or not described herein or included in any schedule) is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

8.9 Assignments and Successors. No Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the prior written Consent of the Other Party.

the nominal amount of the shares in the company’s capital to be acquired, already held or held in pledge by the company and its subsidiaries collectively, does not exceed half of the company’s issued capital.

The company may only acquire its own fully paid-up shares with consideration if and insofar the general meeting has authorized the Board in that respect. Such authorization shall be valid for a period of no longer than eighteen months. In the authorization, the general meeting shall state the number of shares that may be acquired, how the shares may be acquired and the limits within which the price of the shares must be set. No authorization shall be required in case the company acquires shares in its capital, which are officially listed on a Stock Market, for the purpose of transferring such shares to employees of the company or of a group company, under a scheme applicable to such employees.

This prohibition shall not apply if shares or depositary receipts are subscribed for or acquired by employees of the company or a group company.

8.7

The company and its subsidiaries may not grant loans with a view to subscribing for its own shares or any other party acquiring shares in the capital of the company or depositary receipts, unless the Board passes a resolution and the conditions of article 2:98c paragraphs 2 up to and including 7 of the Netherlands Civil Code are fulfilled.

8.8

Shares or depositary receipts in the company’s capital may, upon issue, not be subscribed for by or on behalf of any of its subsidiaries.

An Executive Director may also be suspended by the Board. A suspension by the Board may at any time be discontinued by the general meeting.

any and all liabilities, claims, judgments, fines and penalties (collectively, the “Claims”) incurred by an Indemnified Person as a result of any expected, threatened, pending or completed action, investigation or other proceeding, whether civil, criminal or administrative (each a “Legal Action”) in relation to any act or omission in or related to his or her capacity as Indemnified Person; and

any expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation costs) (collectively, “Expenses”) incurred by an Indemnified Person in connection with any Legal Action.

40.2	An Indemnified Person will not be held harmless, indemnified and reimbursed as referred to above in paragraph 1, if and to the extent:

a Dutch court has made a final and binding judgment that the act or omission of the Indemnified Person can be characterized as willful misconduct (opzet), willful recklessness (bewuste roekeloosheid) or serious culpability (ernstige verwijtbaarheid); and/or

the costs or the loss of the Indemnified Person is covered by insurance and the insurer has compensated him or her for the costs or loss.

40.3

When a Dutch court has made a final and binding judgment that an Indemnified Person has no claim to the indemnification as referred to above in paragraph 1, the Indemnified Person shall immediately repay to the company any amount of indemnification it received from the company.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Indemnified Persons, the company may maintain insurance, at its expense, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Indemnified Persons against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the company would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this article 40.

40.6

Expenses incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending a Legal Action shall be paid by the company in advance of such Legal Action’s final disposition upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the company. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the company deems appropriate. The indemnification and advancement of expenses set forth in this article 40 shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to be a named Indemnified Person and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns of such a person.

40.7

Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this article 40 and who are or were partners, employees or agents of the company, or who are or were serving at the request of the company as employees or agents of another limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the company.

40.8

The provisions of this article 40 shall be deemed to be a contract right between the company and each person who serves in such capacity at any time while this article 40 and the relevant provisions of applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this article 40 or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or Legal Action then existing. The indemnification and other rights provided for in this article 40 shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any Indemnified Person. Except as provided in this article 40, the company shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a Legal Action initiated by such person only if such Legal Action was authorized by the Board.

40.9

For purposes of this article 40, references to “the company” shall include, in addition to the resulting company, any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its managers, managing directors, supervisory directors, executive directors or non-executive directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any Person who is or was a manager, managing director, supervisory director, executive director or non-executive director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent company, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent company as a managing director, supervisory director, executive director or non-executive director officer, employee or agent of another company, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this article 40 with respect to the resulting or surviving company as he or she would have with respect to such constituent company if its separate existence had continued.
