The Company Designees shall be selected from among the directors of the Board of Directors of the Company identified as independent in the Company’s definitive proxy statement for its most recent annual shareholders meeting preceding the Closing; provided that such Company Board Designee shall meet the criteria for service on the Board of Directors of Parent under Applicable Law and NYSE rules, and any criteria established by the Board of Directors of Parent or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of Parent for such service that are generally applicable to members of the Board of Directors of Parent.

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.1 Effect on Share Capital of the Company.

(a) Conversion of Company Common Shares and Merger Sub Common Shares. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the parties or the holders of any Company Common Shares (or options thereon):

(i) Subject to Section 3.1(c), each issued and outstanding Company Common Share (other than any Dissenting Shares or any Company Common Shares to be converted pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive 0.2838 (the “Exchange Ratio”) fully paid and nonassessable Parent Common Shares, together with cash in lieu of fractional Parent Common Shares as specified below, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time, all such Company Common Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share representing any Company Common Share shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, upon the surrender thereof, the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.2.

(ii) Each share of Merger Sub, par value $1.00 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share, par value $1.00 per share, of the Surviving Company.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Shares. Each Company Common Share held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, share consolidation, share subdivision, share bonus issue or stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Shares or Parent Common Shares, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of Company Common Shares or Parent Common Shares issued and outstanding after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time.

-4-

(d) Treatment of the Company Equity Awards.

(i) Each Company RSU Award, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a Parent restricted share unit award (“Converted RSU Award”) on the terms and conditions (including any continuing vesting requirements; provided that any continuing vesting requirements shall lapse as of the Effective Time with respect to Company RSU Awards held by non-employee directors of the Company) under the applicable plan, award agreement and applicable deferral election in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to a number of Parent Common Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole Parent Common Share, determined by multiplying the number of Company Common Shares subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio; provided that each such Company RSU Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be settled in accordance with the deferral election applicable to such Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and in a manner that would not result in the application of additional Taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code. Upon a Qualifying Termination, the holder of a Converted RSU Award covered by this Section 3.1(d)(i) will be entitled to full vesting of such Converted RSU Award.

(ii) Each Company PSU Award, other than any Final Cycle Company PSU Award, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a Converted RSU Award on the terms and conditions (including any continuing service vesting requirements but excluding all performance vesting conditions which shall lapse)) under the applicable plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, as modified by this Agreement, with respect to a number of Parent Common Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole Parent Common Share, determined by multiplying (A) the number of Company Common Shares subject to such Company PSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming target performance) by (B) the Exchange Ratio (such product, with respect to each such Company PSU Award, the (“RSU Target Number”)). The actual number of Parent Common Shares with respect to which each such Converted RSU Award covered by this Section 3.1(d)(ii) shall vest shall equal the product determined by multiplying (A) the RSU Target Number by (B) the Vesting Percentage.

(iii) Each Final Cycle Company PSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a Parent performance share unit award (“Converted PSU Award”), with respect to a target number of Parent Common Shares, rounded up to the nearest whole Parent Common Share, determined by multiplying (A) the number of Company Common Shares subject to such Company PSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time (assuming target performance) by (B) the Exchange Ratio (such product, the “PSU Target Number”). The Converted PSU Award

-5-

shall be subject to the same performance vesting opportunities and performance goals applicable to performance share unit awards granted by Parent in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. The actual number of Parent Common Shares with respect to which each such Converted PSU Award shall vest shall be determined based on actual performance, subject to the applicable holder remaining employed with Parent and its Subsidiaries through February1, 2024, if the Effective Time occurs in 2021 or February 1, 2025, if the Effective Time occurs in 2022; provided, however, that if the holder of the applicable Converted PSU Award experiences a Qualifying Termination prior to February 1, 2024, if the Effective Time occurs in 2021 or February1, 2025, if the Effective Time occurs in 2022, the holder of such Converted PSU Award will be entitled to full service-vesting of such Converted PSU Award (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any such award that, prior to conversion, was a “partner unit plan” Company PSU Award), and the number of shares with respect to which such Converted PSU Award shall vest shall equal the PSU Target Number.

(iv) Each Company DSU Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a Parent deferred share unit award on the terms and conditions under the applicable plan, award agreement and applicable deferral election in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with respect to a number of Parent Common Shares, with the aggregate number of Parent Common Shares covered by such Parent deferred share unit award, rounded up to the nearest whole share, determined by multiplying the number of Company Common Shares subject to such Company DSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio; provided that each such Company DSU Award that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Section 409A of the Code shall be settled in accordance with the deferral election applicable to such Company DSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and in a manner that would not result in the application of additional Taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.

(v) Each Company Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into an option to purchase (A) the number of Parent Common Shares equal to the product determined by multiplying (1) the number of Company Common Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (2) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole Parent Common Share, at (B) an exercise price per Parent Common Share equal to (1) the per share exercise price for Company Common Shares subject to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each such option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company Option under the applicable Company Equity Plan and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms.

-6-

(vi) Effective as of the Effective Time, Parent shall assume (A) the Company RSU Awards, Company Options, Company PSU Awards and Company DSU Awards that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Company Equity Awards”) in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(d) and (B) sponsorship of each Company Equity Plan, provided that references to the Company therein shall thereupon be deemed references to Parent and references to Company Common Shares therein shall be deemed references to Parent Common Shares with appropriate equitable adjustments to reflect the Transactions.

(vii) Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company or the appropriate committee thereof shall adopt resolutions providing for the treatment of the Company Equity Awards and the Company Equity Plans as contemplated by this Section 3.1(d).

(viii) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall file a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor or other appropriate form) registering a number of Parent Common Shares necessary to fulfill Parent’s obligations under this Section 3.1(d). Parent shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of Parent Common Shares for delivery with respect to the Company Equity Awards assumed by it in accordance with this Section 3.1(d).

(ix) For purposes of this Section 3.1(d):

(A) “Cause” means, if the holder of a Company Equity Award (I) is a party to an employment agreement listed in Section 4.1(j)(i) of the Company Disclosure Letter (“Applicable Employment Agreement”), “Cause” as defined in such Agreement, or (II) is not a party to an Applicable Employment Agreement, (1) (x) willful misconduct in the performance of the such holder’s duties to the Company or (y) engaging in any other misconduct that results or could reasonably be expected to result in financial, reputational or other harm to the Company; (2) breach of any employment, service or restrictive covenant agreement between such holder and the Company; (3) gross negligence; (4) material violation of any Company policy, rule, procedure or guideline; (5) conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to (x) a felony or (y) a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude or fraud; or (6) commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation against the Company.

A termination of employment will qualify as a termination for Good Reason only if (x) the applicable individual provides written notice to the Company, within ninety (90) days of the first existence or occurrence of any of the conditions specified above; (y) the Company fails to cure the condition(s) within thirty (30) days of receiving such written notice; and (z) the individual terminates employment not later than thirty (30) days following the end of such thirty (30)-day cure period.

(e) Dissenting Shares.

(i) At the Effective Time, each Dissenting Share shall be, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law, converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(e)(ii) or the fair value of a Dissenting Share as appraised by the Supreme Court of Bermuda under Section 106(6) of the Bermuda Companies Act (the “Appraised Fair Value”) and any holder of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive such consideration from the Surviving Company by payment made within thirty (30) days after such Appraised Fair Value is finally determined pursuant to such appraisal procedure or by delivery of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.2 after an Appraisal Withdrawal.

(ii) In the event that a holder fails to exercise, effectively withdraws or otherwise waives any right to appraisal (each, an “Appraisal Withdrawal”) such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall be converted as of the Effective Time solely into the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each such Dissenting Share.

Payment of any amount payable to holders of Dissenting Shares shall be the obligation of the Surviving Company.

Section 3.2 Exchange of Shares and Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall designate a bank, trust company or nationally recognized stockholder services provider (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging, in accordance with this Article III, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration. In addition, at or prior to the Effective Time, Parent or Merger Sub shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of holders of Company Common Shares evidence of Parent Common Shares representing the aggregate amount of Parent Common Shares sufficient to deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration (such shares, together with any dividends or distributions with respect thereto, hereinafter, the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 3.1 out of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate (a “Certificate”) or book-entry share (a “Book-Entry Share”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented issued and outstanding Company Common Shares and whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that number of whole Parent Common Shares and/or cash, as applicable, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration of such Merger Consideration that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such registration in the name of a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue for the benefit of holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

-11-

(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to any Parent Common Shares represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 3.2(e), in each case until the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Article III. Subject to the effect of Applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, there shall be paid to the holder of Parent Common Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Parent Common Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Parent Common Shares, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such Parent Common Shares. Parent agrees to make available, directly or indirectly, to the Exchange Agent from time to time as needed prior to the first anniversary of the Effective Time additional cash sufficient to pay any amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence of this Section 3.2(c).

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Shares. All Parent Common Shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to Company Common Shares, theretofore represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company of Company Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and, subject to compliance with the procedures in Section 3.2(b), exchanged as provided in this Article III, except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law.

(e) Fractional Shares.

(i) No certificates representing fractional Parent Common Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a shareholder of Parent.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Company Common Shares converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Common Share (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fraction as determined below. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (i) the number of full Parent Common Shares delivered to the Exchange Agent by Parent for issuance to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares over (ii) the aggregate number of full Parent Common Shares to be distributed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (such excess being herein referred to as the “Excess Shares”). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for such holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the NYSE, all in the manner provided herein.

-12-

(iii) The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such holders. The net proceeds of any such sale or sales of Excess Shares to be distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be reduced by any and all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses, of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales. The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of such net proceeds to which each holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate net proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares is entitled (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares then held by such holder) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are entitled. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares with respect to any fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such holders subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.2(e). The payment of cash in lieu of fractional Parent Common Shares is not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding-off of the fractions in the exchange contemplated by this Article III.

(f) Return of Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter be entitled to look only to Parent for payment of their claim for any Parent Common Shares, any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Common Shares and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Shares.

(g) No Liability. None of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, or any of their respective affiliates, shall be liable to any person in respect of any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Parent Common Shares, any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Common Shares or any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Shares in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto.

-13-

(h) Investment of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent, provided, that no losses on such investments shall affect the cash payable to former holders of Company Common Shares pursuant to this Article III. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(i) Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. Parent shall provide the Company with written notice promptly after Parent determines that any such withholding (other than in the case of any “backup withholding” pursuant to Section 3406 of the Code and the corresponding Treasury Regulations and any withholding in connection with consideration payable pursuant to Section 3.1(d) or otherwise of a compensatory nature) is or may be required and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to reduce or eliminate such withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity and treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration with respect to Company Common Shares formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional Parent Common Shares, and unpaid dividends and distributions on Parent Common Shares deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

As of their respective dates, the Company SEC Documents complied (or with respect to Company SEC Documents filed or furnished after the date hereof, will comply) in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the Company SEC Documents, and none of the Company SEC Documents when filed and, if applicable, at their respective effective times contained (or with respect to Company SEC Documents filed or furnished after the date hereof, will contain) any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

-60-

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.1(d), the Company shall not be required to (x) enter into any Financing Transaction prior to the Effective Time that is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger or (y) disclose any information pursuant to this Section 5.1(d) to the extent that (A) in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, any Applicable Law requires the Company or its subsidiaries to restrict or prohibit access to any such information, (B) in the reasonable good faith judgment of the Company, the information is subject to confidentiality obligations to a third party or (C) disclosure of any such information or document would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege; provided, further, that with respect to clauses (A) through (C) of this Section 5.1(d)(iv), the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (1) obtain the required consent of any third party necessary to provide such disclosure, (2) develop an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent and (3) utilize the procedures of a joint defense agreement or implement such other techniques if the parties determine that doing so would reasonably permit the disclosure of such information without violating Applicable Law or jeopardizing such privilege.

(v) Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective officers, directors, employees and Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them of any type (other than to the extent resulting from information provided to Parent in writing by the Company or its subsidiaries) in connection with the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.1(d), except in the event that such loss, damage, claim, cost or expense arises out of or results from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith by the Company or its subsidiaries in fulfilling their obligations pursuant to this Section 5.1(d).

(a) The Company shall not, shall not authorize or permit any of its controlled affiliates or any of its or their officers, directors or employees to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative (each, a “Representative”) retained by it or any of its controlled affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information), or knowingly take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any proposal the consummation of which would constitute a Company Alternative Transaction or (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations, or cooperate in any way with any person (or group of persons), with respect to any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any proposal the consummation of which would constitute a Company Alternative Transaction, except to notify such person (or group of persons) as to the existence of the

-61-

provisions of this Section 5.2; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that any such proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.2(a) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Company Superior Proposal, subject to compliance with Section 5.2(d), the Company and its Representatives may (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries to the person (or group of persons) making such proposal (and its Representatives and financing sources) (provided that all such information has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such person) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms (including as to confidentiality and “standstill” terms) generally no less restrictive than the terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated October 19, 2020, as amended, entered into between the Company and Parent (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) (provided that such “standstill” terms may be waived by the Board of Directors of the Company if it determines, in consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law), and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such proposal with the person (or group of persons) making such proposal (and its Representatives and financing sources).

(b) Except as permitted by Section 5.2(c) or Section 5.2(e), neither the Board of Directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify, or fail to make, in each case in a manner adverse to Parent, the approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of the Merger or this Agreement or the Statutory Merger Agreement, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Company Alternative Transaction (any action in clause (i) or this clause (ii) being

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after it has received a Company Superior Proposal (and after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of the Company may (subject to this and the following sentences) effect a Company Recommendation Change, but only at a time that is after the fourth business day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Company Superior Proposal specifying the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal (and a copy of such proposal if in writing), identifying the person making such Company Superior Proposal and stating that it intends to make a Company Recommendation Change; provided that in the event of any subsequent modification to the material terms and conditions of such Company Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of the Company may only effect a Company Recommendation Change, after the later of (x) the fourth business day following Parent’s receipt of the initial written notice advising Parent of the Company Superior Proposal and (y) the second business day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent of the modification to such terms and conditions; provided further that during such four or two business day notice period, as applicable, the Company engages (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the proposal to enter into a Company Alternative Transaction no longer constitutes a Company Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Company Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a Company Third Party to enter into a Company Alternative Transaction (with all references to 20% in the definition of Company Alternative Transaction being treated as references to 50% for these purposes) that (A) did not result from a material breach of Section 5.2(a), (B) is on terms that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) to be superior from a financial point of view to the Company’s shareholders than the Transactions, taking into account all relevant factors (including any changes to this Agreement that may be proposed by Parent in response to such proposal to enter into a Company Alternative Transaction and the identity of the person making such proposal to enter into a Company Alternative Transaction), and (C) is reasonably likely to be completed on its terms, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal.

The Company shall (i) keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or proposal on a current basis and (ii) provide to Parent as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written materials exchanged between the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any person making such request or proposal, on the other hand, in each case that describes in any material respect any of the material terms or conditions of any such request or proposal.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may effect a Company Recommendation Change in response to a Company Intervening Event if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, but only at a time that is after the fourth business day following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company advising Parent that the Board of Directors of the Company intends to make a Company Recommendation Change in response to a Company Intervening Event and specifying in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances that render a Company Recommendation Change necessary; provided that during such four business day notice period the Company engages (to the extent requested by Parent) in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend this Agreement and after such four business day notice period, the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to effect a Company Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Intervening Event” means any material Effect occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that (i) was not known or reasonably foreseeable, or the material consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable, in each case to the Board of Directors or executive officers of the Company as of or prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) does not relate to or involve any Company Alternative Transaction; provided that (A) in no event shall any action taken by the parties pursuant to the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 6.3, or the consequences of any such action, constitute, be deemed to contribute to or otherwise be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Intervening Event and (B)in no event shall any Effect that would fall within any of the exceptions to the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” constitute, be deemed to contribute to or otherwise be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Company Intervening Event.

(g) The Company agrees that in the event any of its controlled affiliates or any officer, director, employee or Representative of the Company or any of its controlled affiliates acting on behalf of the Company or any of its controlled affiliates takes any action that, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.2, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.2.

(d) In addition to the other obligations of Parent set forth in this Section 5.3, Parent shall promptly, and in any event within 24 hours of receipt thereof, advise the Company orally and in writing of any request for information or of any proposal relating to a Parent Alternative Transaction, the material terms and conditions of such request or proposal (including any changes thereto and, if in writing, a copy of such proposal) and the identity of the person making such request or proposal. Parent shall (i) keep the Company reasonably informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or proposal on a current basis and (ii) provide to the Company as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all correspondence and other written materials exchanged between Parent or its subsidiaries or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any person making such request or proposal, on the other hand, in each case that describes in any material respect any of the material terms or conditions of any such request or proposal.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to obtaining the Parent Shareholder Approval, the Board of Directors of Parent may effect a Parent Recommendation Change in response to a Parent Intervening Event if the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, but only at a time that is after the fourth business day following the Company’s receipt of written notice from Parent

-66-

advising the Company that the Board of Directors of Parent intends to make a Parent Recommendation Change in response to a Parent Intervening Event and specifying in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances that render a Parent Recommendation Change necessary; provided that during such four business day notice period Parent engages (to the extent requested by the Company) in good faith negotiations with the Company to amend this Agreement and after such four business day notice period, the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to effect a Parent Recommendation Change would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law. For purposes of this Agreement, “Parent Intervening Event” means any material Effect occurring or arising after the date of this Agreement that (i) was not known or reasonably foreseeable, or the material consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable, in each case to the Board of Directors or executive officers of Parent as of or prior to the date of this Agreement, and (ii) does not relate to or involve any Parent Alternative Transaction; provided that (A) in no event shall any action taken by the parties pursuant to the affirmative covenants set forth in Section 6.3, or the consequences of any such action, constitute, be deemed to contribute to or otherwise be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Parent Intervening Event and (B) in no event shall any Effect that would fall within any of the exceptions to the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” constitute, be deemed to contribute to or otherwise be taken into account in determining whether there has been a Parent Intervening Event.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit Parent from (i) taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder and (ii) making any required disclosure to the shareholders of Parent if the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with Applicable Law; provided, however, that any such disclosure or statement that constitutes or contains or would reasonably be likely to have the effect of a Parent Recommendation Change shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(b).

(g) Parent agrees that in the event any of its controlled affiliates or any officer, director, employee or Representative of Parent or any of its controlled affiliates acting on behalf of Parent or any of its controlled affiliates takes any action that, if taken by Parent, would constitute a breach of this Section 5.3, Parent shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 5.3.

Each of the Company and Parent shall hold, and shall cause its respective affiliates, officers, employees and Representatives to hold, any nonpublic information in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.

In the event of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, (i) each Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit or proceeding from the Surviving Company or Parent to the same extent as such Indemnified Parties are entitled to advancement of expenses as of the date of this Agreement by the Company pursuant to the Company Bye-Laws, the governing or organizational documents of any subsidiary of the Company and any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date of this Agreement;

-72-

provided that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by Applicable Law, the Company Bye-laws, and any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date of this Agreement, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) Parent shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, cooperate in the defense of any such matter.

(b) For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall either cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company or any of their subsidiaries or provide substitute policies for not less than the existing coverage and which have other terms not less favorable to the insured persons than the existing terms with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, except that in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Company be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies (or substitute insurance policies) of the Company in respect of any one policy year more than 300% of the annual premium payable by the Company for such insurance for the twelve months prior to the Effective Time (the “Maximum Amount”), and if Parent or the Surviving Company is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 6.4, it shall obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for the years within such six-year period for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Amount in respect of each policy year within such period; provided that in lieu of the foregoing, the Company may, in consultation with Parent, obtain at or prior to the Effective Time a six-year “tail” policy under the Company’s existing directors and officers insurance policy providing equivalent coverage to that described in the preceding sentence if and to the extent that the same may be obtained for an amount that, on an annual basis, does not exceed the Maximum Amount.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.4 (i) shall survive consummation of the Merger, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party (including the Indemnified Parties), his or her heirs and his or her representatives, and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or otherwise.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to any Applicable Law: (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans which are welfare benefit plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable Company Benefit Plan or Parent Benefit Plan, as applicable, in which such Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”); and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent or the

Section 6.16 Tax Matters.

(a) For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend that the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and this Agreement is intended to be and is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 354 and 361 of the Code. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall (A) use reasonable best efforts to cause the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code with respect to which Parent and the Company will each be a “party to the reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code and (B) not, and shall not permit or cause any of its respective subsidiaries to, take any action that could, or agree to take any action that could, reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 368(a) of the Code.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, none of Parent, the Company or any subsidiary of either Parent or the Company shall have any liability or obligation to any holder of Company Common Shares should the Merger fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(b) With respect to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Merger, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz (or such other nationally recognized counsel as may be reasonably acceptable to Parent), counsel to Parent (“Parent’s Counsel”), and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (or such other nationally recognized counsel as may be reasonably acceptable to the Company), counsel to the Company (“Company’s Counsel”), one or more customary representation letters, if requested, dated as of (A) the date the registration statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC or (B) such other date(s) as determined reasonably necessary or appropriate by counsel in connection with the filing of the registration statement or its exhibits and signed by an officer of Parent, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Parent’s Counsel and Company’s Counsel one or more customary representation letters, if requested, dated as of (A) the date the registration statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC or (B) such other date(s) as determined reasonably necessary or appropriate by counsel in connection with the filing of the registration statement or its exhibits and signed by an officer of the Company.

If a party fails to promptly pay to the other party any fee due under such Section 8.2(b) and Section 8.2(c), the defaulting party shall pay the costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses, but excluding any amount in respect of such costs and expenses for which the defaulting party (or, if relevant, any member of a VAT group of which it is a member) is entitled to credit as input tax) in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit or other legal action, taken to collect payment.

-84-

(ii) If:

(A) a Taxing Authority (or, following an appeal to a court or tribunal, such court or tribunal) finally determines that any payment of the Termination Fees constitutes all or part of the consideration for a supply made for VAT purposes in respect of which the recipient of the sum (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the recipient of the sum is a member) is liable to account for VAT, to the extent that such VAT is recoverable by the payor of the sum (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the payor is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum shall be increased to such amount so that the amount of the sum (including any amount in respect of VAT), less the amount of such repayment or credit in respect of input tax equals the amount of the sum had no such VAT arisen; for the avoidance of doubt if and to the extent that such VAT is irrecoverable by the payor (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the payor is a member) then no additional amount shall to that extent be paid in respect of such VAT and the sum shall, to that extent, be VAT inclusive; and

(B) a Taxing Authority (or, following an appeal to a court or tribunal, such court or tribunal) finally determines that any payment of the Termination Fees constitutes all or part of the consideration for a supply made for VAT purposes in respect of which the payor of the sum (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the payor is a party) is liable to account for VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, then to the extent that any VAT chargeable on the supply is not recoverable by such payor (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the payor is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum shall be reduced to such amount so that the aggregate of the sum (as so reduced) and such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT equals the amount of the sum had no such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT arisen.

Such adjusting payment as may be required between the parties to give effect to this Section 8.2(f)(ii) shall be made five Business Days after the date on which the determination by the Taxing Authority (or court or tribunal, as the case may be) has been communicated to the party required to make the adjusting payment pursuant to this Section 8.2(f)(ii) (together with such evidence of it as it is reasonable in the circumstances to provide and, where Section 8.2(f)(ii)(A) applies, together with the provision of a valid VAT invoice)) or, if later, five Business Days (y) in the case of Section 8.2(f)(ii)(A) after the date on which the VAT is recovered or (z) in the case of Section 8.2(f)(ii)(B) before the date on which the irrecoverable VAT is required to be accounted for (taking into account any applicable extensions of time), provided that in the case of Section 8.2(f)(ii)(B) the party making the adjusting payment has been given written notice of such date not less than fifteen Business Days before.

-85-

The party paying the relevant Termination Fee shall (or shall procure that the representative member of the VAT group of which such party is a member shall) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any available repayment or credit in respect of VAT (as referred to in this Section 8.2(f)(ii)) and for the purposes of this Section 8.2(f)(ii) the extent of such repayment or credit shall be determined by such party, or the relevant representative member of the VAT group, acting reasonably. “VAT” means (i) any tax charged or imposed pursuant to EU Council Directive 2006/112/EC or any national legislation implementing such Directive; and (ii) to the extent not included in (i), any value added tax imposed by the UK Value Added Tax Act 1994 and any related secondary legislation, regardless of whether or not the UK is a member of the European Union or continues to be subject to such Directive.

Section 8.3 Amendment. Subject to compliance with Applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after the Company Shareholder Approval or the Parent Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that (a) after any such approval, there may not be, without further approval of the shareholders of the Company (in the case of the Company Shareholder Approval) and the shareholders of Parent (in the case of the Parent Shareholder Approval), any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered to the holders of Company Common Shares hereunder or that by law otherwise expressly requires the further approval of the shareholders of the Company or shareholders of Parent, as the case may be, and (b) except as provided above, no amendment of this Agreement shall be submitted to be approved by the shareholders of the Company or the shareholders of Parent. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto and duly approved by the parties’ respective Boards of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

Section 8.4 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, a party hereto may, subject to the proviso of Section 8.3 (and for this purpose treating any waiver referred to below as an amendment), (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (c) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement or (d) waive the satisfaction of any of the conditions contained in this Agreement. No extension or waiver by the Company or Parent shall require the approval of the shareholders of the Company or the shareholders of Parent, respectively, unless such approval is required by Applicable Law. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Any extension or waiver given in compliance with this Section 8.4 or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.
