Article II

(c)     Each Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) any securities expressly contemplated by ‎Section 2.04 hereof (other than the Common Shares referenced in the last sentence of each of Section 2.04(a)(i), 2.04(a)(ii) and 2.04(b)(i) hereof, respectively), (ii) Excluded Shares, which will be treated in accordance with Section ‎2.01(a) and Section ‎2.01(b), as applicable, and (iii) Dissenting Shares (as defined below), which will be treated in accordance with Section ‎2.03, but (iv) including any holdback Common Shares that are issuable to the former shareholders of INCO Limited under the Isaac EPA, which shall be treated for purposes of this ‎Section 2.01 as issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time) will be cancelled, be no longer outstanding, and will automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a

certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Common Shares (each, a “Certificate”) and each holder of evidence in book-entry form that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Common Shares (“Book-Entry Shares”), will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive $14.00 in cash per Common Share without interest (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”) payable in the manner provided in Section ‎2.02; and

(d)     Each ordinary share of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share, par value $0.00005 per share, of the Surviving Company. Such ordinary shares in the Surviving Company shall constitute the only issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Company, which shall be reflected in the register of members of the Surviving Company.

Section 2.02     Exchange of Certificates; Payment Fund.

(a)     Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub will, at its sole cost and expense, appoint a bank or trust company, the identity and the terms of appointment of which to be reasonably acceptable to the Company, to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment and delivery of the aggregate amount of Per Share Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Article ‎II (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”). On the Closing Date, Parent will cause Merger Sub to deposit with the Paying Agent for payment in accordance with this Article ‎II through the Paying Agent, cash sufficient to pay the Aggregate Merger Consideration. All such cash deposited with the Paying Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

(b)     Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Company will cause the Paying Agent to mail, or otherwise provide in the case of Book-Entry Shares, to each holder of record of Common Shares in respect of which the Per Share Merger Consideration is payable pursuant to ‎Section 2.01(c) (i) a form of letter of transmittal in such form and containing such other provisions as Parent may reasonably designate and as are reasonably acceptable to the Company prior to the Effective Time (with the Company’s consent thereto not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and which specifies that delivery of such Common Shares will be effected and risk of loss and title will pass (A) with respect to such Common Shares evidenced by Certificates, only upon the proper delivery of the applicable Certificates and validly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent (and such other documents as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) and (B) with respect to Book-Entry Shares, only upon proper delivery of an “agent’s message” regarding the book-entry transfer of Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request); and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Book-Entry Shares or Certificates in exchange for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Common Shares represented thereby.

(c)     Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. Upon (i) in the case of Common Shares represented by a Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificate, as provided in Section ‎2.02(i)), the surrender of such Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or (ii) in the case of Common Shares held as Book-Entry Shares, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent, in each case, together with such other documents as reasonably may be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the consideration payable in respect of the Common Shares previously represented thereby pursuant to Section ‎2.01. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares that has not been registered in the transfer records of the Company, any Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Common Shares previously represented thereby may be paid to the transferee or transferees if the Certificate or Book-Entry Share representing such prior Common Shares is presented to the Paying Agent (or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, proper evidence of such transfer) accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable share transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section ‎2.02(c), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share, including any prior Common Shares represented thereby, will, at any time from and after the Effective Time, represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the consideration that the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share is entitled to receive from the Paying Agent or the Surviving Company in respect of the prior Common Shares represented thereby pursuant to this Section ‎2.02(c). No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(d)     No Further Ownership Rights in Common Shares. The Per Share Merger Consideration, when actually paid in accordance with the terms of this Article ‎II in respect of each cancelled Common Share, will be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Common Share. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Company of Common Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates (or Book-Entry Shares) representing Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Common Shares, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement (including ‎Section 2.01(c)) or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Common Shares (or Common Shares held in book-entry form) are presented to Parent, the Surviving Company, or the Paying Agent for any reason, they will be cancelled as provided in this Article ‎II, with the holder thereof entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Common Shares represented thereby pursuant to Section ‎2.01 and, in the case of Dissenting Shares, subject to applicable Law.

(e)     Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest or any other amounts received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Common Shares on the date that is 12 months after the Effective Time may, upon Parent’s request, be delivered to the Surviving Company (or its designee), and after any such delivery, any holder of a Common Share (other than the Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article ‎II will thereafter look only to the Surviving Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of its claim for the Per Share Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto, without any interest thereon.

(f)     No Liability. None of the Surviving Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Paying Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Law. Any other provision of this Agreement notwithstanding, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with this Article ‎II that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to the date on which such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto.

(g)     Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent will invest any cash in the Payment Fund if and as directed by Parent or the Surviving Company. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments will be paid to, and be the property of, the Surviving Company. No investment losses resulting from any investment of the Payment Fund will diminish the rights of any of the Company’s shareholders to receive the portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration payable to them. To the extent there are losses with respect to such investments or (subject to Section ‎2.02(e)) the Payment Fund diminishes for any other reason below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the aggregate funds required to be paid pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Surviving Company will promptly replace or restore the cash in the Payment Fund so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments.

(h)     Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and the Paying Agent (without duplication) will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law. Amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all compensatory amounts subject to payroll reporting and withholding (including, for clarity, an amount in cash equal to the sum of all Withholding Amounts) shall be paid by the Company or the Applicable Subsidiary through the applicable payroll system in accordance with applicable payroll procedures.

(i)     Lost Certificates. If any Certificate has 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 Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Paying Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Payment Fund and subject to Section ‎2.02(e), the Surviving Company) will deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or

destroyed Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each Common Share represented thereby, pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.03     Dissenter’s Rights.

(a)     Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the CICA, Common Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by shareholders of the Company who shall have validly exercised and perfected and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger, or dissenter rights, in accordance with Section 238 of the CICA (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares,” and holders of the Dissenting Shares collectively, the “Dissenting Shareholders”) shall be cancelled and cease to exist at the Effective Time and the Dissenting Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and shall instead be entitled to exercise the rights conferred by Section 238 of the CICA, reduced by all applicable withholding Taxes, if any, withheld in accordance with Section ‎2.02(h).

(b)     For the avoidance of doubt, all Common Shares held by Dissenting Shareholders who shall have not exercised or perfected or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their dissenter rights under Section 238 of the CICA shall thereupon not be Dissenting Shares and shall be cancelled and cease to exist as of the Effective Time, in consideration of the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, in the manner provided in Section ‎2.02. Parent shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent any additional funds necessary to pay in full the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration so due and payable to such shareholders who have not exercised or perfected or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such dissenter rights under Section 238 of the CICA.

(c)     The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice (and in any event within 48 hours of receipt) of any notices of objection, notices of approvals, notice of dissent or demands for appraisal or written offers, under Section 238 of the CICA received by the Company, attempted withdrawals of such notices, demands or offers, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law of the Cayman Islands and received by the Company relating to its shareholders’ rights to dissent from the Merger or appraisal rights, and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such notice or demand for appraisal under the CICA. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any offers or agree to any payment with respect to any exercise by a shareholder of its rights to dissent from the Merger or any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

(d)     In the event that any written notices of objection to the Merger are served by any shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 238(2) of the CICA, the Company shall serve written notice of the authorization of the Merger on such shareholders pursuant to Section 238(4) of the CICA within twenty (20) days of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval.

Section 2.04     Treatment of Company Equity Awards.Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any holder of a Company Equity Award, or any other Person, the Company Equity Awards then outstanding will be treated as provided in this Section ‎2.04.

(a)     Company RSUs.

(i)     Vested Company RSUs. Each award of Company RSUs that is outstanding and vested but unsettled as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be settled and delivered into a number of Common Shares equal to (x) the number of Common Shares subject to such Company RSU award immediately prior to the Effective Time less (y) a number of Common Shares with a value (based on the Per Share Merger Consideration) equal to all applicable Withholding Amounts (such net amount of Common Shares, the “Net RSU Consideration”), subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the Company Share Plan and the applicable award agreement; provided, that the Company (subject to the reasonable consent of Parent, which consent (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (ii) if so withheld by Parent, will be communicated to the Company prior to Closing) may identify certain holders of vested Company RSUs who may, at the election of such holder of vested Company RSUs

(by delivery of a written notice to the Company and Parent, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting), elect for all or a portion of their Common Shares (including the Net RSU Consideration) to be contributed to Parent in exchange for shares of Parent with a value equal to the Common Shares so contributed to Parent, in accordance with the terms of such holder’s Incentive Rollover Agreement, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any portion of the Common Shares not contributed to Parent in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence shall, upon the Effective Time, be treated in accordance with Section 2.01(c).

(ii)     Unvested Company RSUs with Acceleration Provision. Each award of Company RSUs that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and which is subject to accelerated vesting upon the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions is set forth on Section ‎2.04(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Accelerating Company RSUs”). As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each such award of Accelerating Company RSUs shall automatically become fully vested and shall be settled and delivered into such holder’s applicable Net RSU Consideration (determined based on the number of Common Shares subject to such Company RSU award), subject to the terms and conditions as set forth in the Company Share Plan and the applicable award agreement; provided, that the Company (subject to the reasonable consent of Parent, which consent (i) shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (ii) if so withheld by Parent, will be communicated to the Company prior to Closing) may identify certain holders of Accelerating Company RSUs who may, at the election of such holder of Accelerated Company RSUs (by delivery of a written notice to the Company and Parent, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Company Shareholder Meeting), elect for all or a portion of their Common Shares (including the Net RSU Consideration) to be contributed to Parent in exchange for shares of Parent with a value equal to the Common Shares so contributed to Parent, in accordance with the terms of such holder’s Incentive Rollover Agreement, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Any portion of the Common Shares not contributed to Parent in accordance with the proviso to the preceding sentence shall, upon the Effective Time, be treated in accordance with Section 2.01(c).

Each award of Company RSUs that is outstanding and unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and which is not subject to accelerated vesting upon the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions is set forth on Section ‎2.04(a)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Letter. Each such award of Company RSUs shall be migrated at the Effective Time into an award of restricted share units under the New Share Plan with an aggregate value (as determined under the New Share Plan) as of the Closing equal to (x) the number of Common Shares subject to such award of Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, which award shall continue to vest on the same vesting schedule that applied to the corresponding unvested Company RSUs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, subject to the holder’s continued service as a Service Provider through the applicable vesting periods and any other terms and conditions as set forth in the Company Share Plan, the New Share Plan and the applicable award agreement.

(i)     Vested Options. Each award of Company Options that is outstanding and vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Option”) shall be, upon exercise by the holder, settled and delivered into (x) a number of Common Shares with a value equal to (I) the excess (if any) of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, over (ii) the exercise price per share of such Vested Option, multiplied by (II) the number of Common Shares subject to such Vested Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, less (y) a number of Common Shares with a value (based on the Per Share Merger Consideration) equal to the applicable Withholding Amount (the “Net Option Consideration”).

in accordance with Section ‎2.04(b)(iii); provided, that if the exercise price per share of any such Vested Option is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, such Vested Option shall be cancelled without any payment (or replacement option award) being made in respect thereof. Any portion of the Net Option Consideration attributable to Vested Options that are not migrated at the Effective Time into an option award under the New Share Plan in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(iii) in accordance with the preceding sentence shall, upon the Effective Time, be treated in accordance with Section 2.01(c).

(a)     From the Agreement Date until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section ‎8.01, except as explicitly permitted by Section ‎5.04(c) and Section ‎5.04(d), the Company will not, and will cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to not, and will instruct the Representatives of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to not, and to not publicly announce any intention to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiry, discussion, offer or request that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal (an “Inquiry”) (it being understood and agreed that ministerial acts that are not otherwise prohibited by this Section ‎5.04 (such as answering unsolicited phone calls and informing Persons of the provisions of this Section ‎5.04 or contacting any Person making an Alternative Proposal solely to ascertain facts or clarify terms and conditions) will not be deemed to “solicit,” “encourage” or “facilitate” for purposes of, or otherwise constitute a violation of, this Section ‎5.04); (ii) furnish or cause to be furnished to any Person or “Group” (as such term is defined in Section 13(d) under the Exchange Act) any non-public information with respect to any Inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or would be reasonably expected to result in, an Alternative Proposal; (iii) enter into, continue or maintain discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates) with respect to an Inquiry or an Alternative Proposal (other than informing Persons of the provisions set forth in this Section ‎5.04 or contacting any Person making an Alternative Proposal solely to ascertain facts or clarify terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal for the sole purpose of the Special Committee reasonably informing itself about such Alternative Proposal); (iv) approve, agree to, accept, endorse or recommend any Alternative Proposal; (v) submit to a vote of its shareholders any Alternative Proposal; (vi) effect any Adverse Recommendation Change; provided that, subject to compliance by the Company with the terms of this Section ‎5.04, neither (1) the determination by the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee in accordance with Section ‎5.04(d) that an Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, nor (2) the delivery by the Company of the notice required by Section ‎5.04(d) shall in and of themselves constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change; or (vii) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar instrument providing for an Alternative Proposal. The Company will, and will cause the Company Subsidiaries to, and will instruct its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives with respect to any Alternative Proposal and will promptly request in writing any such Third Party (together with its Representatives) that has executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with any Alternative Proposal, within the 12-month period prior to the Agreement Date, and that is in possession of confidential information heretofore furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in connection with the consideration of an Alternative Proposal (and all analyses and other materials prepared by or on behalf of such Person that contain, reflect or analyze that information) to return or destroy all such information as promptly as practicable. It is agreed that any violation of the restrictions on the Company (or instructions given or required to be given by the Company) set forth in this

Section ‎5.04 by any Representative of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (acting at the direction of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries) will constitute a breach of this Section ‎5.04 by the Company.

(b)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section ‎5.04(a), if the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Representatives (including members of the Special Committee) receives a bona fide Alternative Proposal by any Third Party at any time prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, and provided there has been no material breach of Section ‎5.04(a) that resulted in such Alternative Proposal, the Company and its Representatives may, prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, take the actions set forth in subsections (i) and/or (ii) of this Section ‎5.04(b) if the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has determined, in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel), that such Alternative Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law: (i) furnish or cause to be furnished non-public information to and afford access to the business, employees, officers, contracts, properties, assets, books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Third Party and its Representatives that made such Alternative Proposal, pursuant to an executed (and the Company and/or Company Subsidiaries may enter into a) customary confidentiality agreement that contains provisions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Non-Disclosure Agreements and that does not prohibit compliance by the Company with any of the provisions of this Agreement (it being understood that the Company shall not be required to include any “standstill” provision in such confidentiality agreement), including this Section ‎5.04; and (ii) enter into, engage in and continue thereafter (so long as such Alternative Proposal remains reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal) discussions or negotiations with the Third Party and its Representatives that made such Alternative Proposal with respect to such Alternative Proposal.

(c)     Reasonably promptly (but in no event more than 48 hours) following receipt (to the Company’s Knowledge) of any Alternative Proposal or any Inquiry, the Company will advise Parent in writing of the receipt of such Alternative Proposal or Inquiry, and the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal or Inquiry (including, in each case, the identity of the Third Party making any such Alternative Proposal or Inquiry), and the Company will as reasonably promptly as practicable provide to Parent (i) a copy of such Alternative Proposal or Inquiry, if in writing; or (ii) a summary of the material terms of such Alternative Proposal or Inquiry, if oral. The Company agrees that it will promptly provide to Parent any material non-public information concerning the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that it provides to any other Third Party in connection with any such Alternative Proposal that has not previously been provided to Parent. In addition, the Company will keep Parent informed on a reasonably prompt basis (and in any event within 48 hours) of any material developments regarding the Alternative Proposal or any material change to the terms or status of the Alternative Proposal or Inquiry (in each case, in a manner that is not unduly disruptive of the Company’s ability to conduct good faith discussions in accordance with this Section 5.04 with the party making such Alternative Proposal and its Representatives).

(d)     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may (i) in the case of an Intervening Event or if the Company has received a Superior Proposal (after taking into account the terms of any revised offer by Parent pursuant to this ‎Section 5.04(d)), cause the Company to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (ii) if the Company has received a Superior Proposal (after taking into account the terms of any revised offer by Parent pursuant to this Section ‎5.04(d)), and provided there has been no material breach of Section ‎5.04(a) that resulted in such Superior Proposal, cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section ‎8.01(d) to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for such Superior Proposal simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), if the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that the Company Board or the Special Committee may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or, in the case of a Superior Proposal, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section ‎8.01(d), unless:

(i)     the Company has provided prior written notice to Parent at least three Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”) of taking such action, which notice will advise Parent of the

circumstances giving rise to the Adverse Recommendation Change, and, in the case of a Superior Proposal, that the Company Board or the Special Committee has received a Superior Proposal and includes a copy of the most recent version of such Superior Proposal (or where no such copy is available, a detailed description of the material terms and conditions);

(ii)     during the Notice Period, the Company has negotiated with Parent in good faith (if and to the extent Parent desires to so negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that, in the case of a Superior Proposal, such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee, a Superior Proposal, or in the case of an Intervening Event, the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change (in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee after consultation with outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel) would no longer be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and

(iii)     the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has determined in good faith, after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to any proposals, amendments or modifications made or agreed to in writing by Parent, if any, and after consultation with its outside financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that, in the case of a Superior Proposal, such Superior Proposal remains a Superior Proposal or, in the case of an Intervening Event, that the failure to make such Adverse Recommendation Change would continue to reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

If during the Notice Period any material revisions are made to the Superior Proposal, the Company will deliver a new written notice to Parent and will comply with the requirements of this Section ‎5.04(d) with respect to such new written notice; provided, however, that for purposes of this sentence, references to the three Business Day period above will be deemed to be references to a two Business Day period.

(e)     Nothing contained in this Agreement will prevent the Company, the Company Board or the Special Committee from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9, Rule 14e-2 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A under the Exchange Act with respect to an Alternative Proposal; provided that (i) the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee reaffirms the Company Recommendation in such statement or in connection with such action and (ii) it is understood and agreed that any factually accurate public statement by the Company that merely describes the Company’s receipt of an Alternative Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto and contains a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act will not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change.

Section 5.05     Debt Documents. The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days) notify the Parent in writing of the occurrence of any of the following: (i) termination or expiration of the facilities provided for under any Debt Document prior to the stated maturity thereof as in effect on the Agreement Date, (ii) any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any breach or default) under any Debt Document by the Company or any other Company Related Parties (including any “Default” or “Event of Default” (or similar definition in each applicable Debt Document)) or, to the Company’s Knowledge, any other party to such Debt Document, (iii) any actual or threatened withdrawal, modification or termination of a Debt Document Waiver or (iv) receipt by any Company Related Parties or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives of any written notice from any Person with respect to any actual, threatened or alleged material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any other party to any Debt Document or of any material provision of any Debt Document (including any “Default” or “Event of Default” (or similar definition in each applicable Debt Document)). As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, the Company shall provide to the Parent and its Representatives any and all information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any of the circumstances referred to in this ‎Section 5.05.

(e)     The Company will, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC confirms it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3, including the Proxy Statement, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of (i) seeking the Company Shareholder Approval, (ii) if required, seeking approval of an adjournment proposal and (iii) seeking approval of any other proposal necessary for authorizing and approving (as applicable) this Agreement and consummating the Transactions. Except as permitted in Section ‎6.01(f), the Company will not adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (A) promptly cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders; and (B) except if an Adverse Recommendation Change has been made as permitted by Section ‎5.04(d) and remains in effect, solicit the Company Shareholder Approval, including by retaining the services of a recognized proxy solicitor. The Company Board, acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee, and the Special Committee will recommend to the Company’s shareholders that they give the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Recommendation”) and will include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3, in each case, unless the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has validly made an Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section ‎5.04(d) that is still in effect. The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior thereto, its obligations to hold the Company Shareholders Meeting pursuant to this Section ‎6.01 will not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Alternative Proposal, by the making of any Adverse Recommendation Change by the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee or by any other development; provided, however, that if the public announcement of an Adverse Recommendation Change or the delivery of notice by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section ‎5.04(d)(i) occurs less than 10 Business Days prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, the Company will be entitled to adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting to a date not more than 10 Business Days after the date such Company Shareholders Meeting had previously been scheduled (but in no event to a date after the date that is five Business Days before the End Date (as defined below)).

(f)     The foregoing provisions of this Section ‎6.01 notwithstanding, the Company will have the right, after consultation in good faith with Parent, to make one or more adjournments of the Company Shareholders Meeting (i) to ensure that any amendment to the Proxy Statement and/or amendment to the Schedule 13E-3 required under applicable Law is timely provided to the shareholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board or the Special Committee (after consultation with outside counsel), in advance of the Company Shareholders Meeting; (ii) if required by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or its staff; or (iii) if, on a date for which the Company Shareholders Meeting is scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Common Shares to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present; provided that (A) no single such adjournment is for more than 10 Business Days except as may be required by federal securities Laws; and (B) in the case of clause (iii), the Company Shareholders Meeting is not adjourned by more than 30 days after the date for which the Company Shareholders Meeting was originally scheduled without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the Company Shareholders Meeting is adjourned to (x) a date that is more than 60 days after the date on which the Company Shareholders Meeting was originally scheduled and (y) a date that is less than five Business Days prior to the End Date) and that the Company will, and will cause its proxy solicitor to, use reasonable best efforts to solicit such additional proxies (or presence and affirmative vote in person of the Company’s shareholders at the Company Shareholders Meeting) as expeditiously as reasonably possible, it being understood that time shall be of the essence. The Company will also consider in good faith any other request by Parent to adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting.

Section 6.02     Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Law and the terms and conditions set forth in the Non-Disclosure Agreements, the Company will, and will cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, afford to Parent and the Representatives of Parent reasonable access, upon reasonable advance notice, during the period from the Agreement Date through the Effective Time, to all their respective properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, the Company will, and will cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, furnish reasonably promptly to Parent (a) to the extent not publicly available, a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws or commission actions; and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request (in each case, in a manner so as to not interfere in any material respect with the normal business operations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary); provided, however, that the Company will not be required to permit such access or make such disclosure, to the

extent it determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that such disclosure or access would reasonably be likely to (i) violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with a Third Party (provided that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of such Third Party to such access or disclosure or to allow for such access or disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with a Third Party); (ii) result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege (provided that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege) or (iii) violate any Law; provided, further, that the Company will not be required to disclose any materials of the Company, the Company Board or the Special Committee that relate to consideration of the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company will not be required to provide any access or make any disclosure to Parent pursuant to this Section ‎6.02 to the extent such access or information is reasonably pertinent to a litigation where the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, are adverse parties.

Section 6.03     Efforts to Consummate.

(a)     Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of Parent and the Company will use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date the Transactions, including (i) preparing and filing with applicable Governmental Entities as promptly as reasonably practicable all necessary applications, notices, disclosures, petitions, filings, ruling requests, and other documents pursuant to any Antitrust Laws and to obtain as promptly as practicable any consents, clearances, approvals, waivers, actions, waiting period expirations or terminations, non-actions or other authorizations from Governmental Entities (“Antitrust Approvals”) and all Permits necessary, (ii) taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain all such Permits and Antitrust Approvals as promptly as reasonably practicable, and (iii) obtaining any waivers, qualifications, consents, certificates, clearances, and approvals required from third parties (other than Permits and Antitrust Approvals) in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.

(b)     In connection with the actions referenced in Section ‎6.03(a), each of Parent and the Company will, and will cause their respective controlled Affiliates to, (i) cooperate with each other in connection with any communication, filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any Action initiated by a private party; (ii) keep the other Party and/or its counsel promptly informed of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any Governmental Entity or Government Official and of any communication received or given in connection with any Action by a private party, in each case, regarding any of the Transactions; (iii) consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference regarding the Transactions with such Governmental Entity or Government Official or, in connection with any Action by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Entity, Government Official, or other Person, give the other Party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; (iv) consider in good faith the views of the other Party and keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of matters related to the Transactions; and (v) permit the other Party and/or its counsel to review in advance, with reasonable time and opportunity to comment, give reasonable consideration to the other Party’s comments thereon, and consult with each other in advance of any proposed submission, filing or communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given by it to a Governmental Entity or Government Official in connection with the Transactions; provided that materials may be redacted (x) as necessary to comply with applicable Law, (y) for legal privilege and (z) to remove references concerning (A) the valuation of the businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and (B) projections, estimates, budgets, forecasts, plans or other information of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and other materials that the Special Committee evaluated in connection with the Transactions.

(c)     The Company will give prompt written notice to Parent, and Parent will give prompt written notice to the Company, of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure to occur has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in the failure to satisfy or be able to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Article ‎VII, and such written notice will specify the condition which has failed or will fail to be satisfied; (ii) any written notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions to the extent such consent is material to the Company and the Company

Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (iii) any material written notice from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions; and (iv) any shareholder Action against the Company, any Company Subsidiary and/or their respective directors or officers relating to the Transactions; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section ‎6.03(c) will not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Parent or the Company.

(d)     Without limiting anything in this Section ‎6.03, Parent and Merger Sub agree to take promptly any and all steps necessary or reasonably advisable or as may be required by any Governmental Entity to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment and obtain all Permits and Antitrust Approvals under any applicable Laws that may be required by any Governmental Entity so as to enable the Parties to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger, as expeditiously as possible, including committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, trust or otherwise, (A) selling, divesting, licensing or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell, divest, license or otherwise dispose of, any assets of the Company or its Subsidiaries, (B) terminating, amending or assigning existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations of the Company and/or its Subsidiaries, (C) requiring the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to grant any right or commercial or other accommodation to, or enter into any material commercial contractual or other commercial relationship with, any third party and (D) imposing limitations on the Company or its Subsidiaries with respect to how they own, retain, conduct or operate all or any portion of their respective businesses or assets; provided that: (i) Parent, Merger Sub and its Affiliates shall not be obligated to take the foregoing actions contemplated by this sentence with respect to Parent, Merger Sub, or their respective Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing), or their respective assets, categories of assets, businesses, relationships, contractual rights, obligations or arrangements, and any Intellectual Property rights thereto or embodied therein or any venture or other arrangement and (ii) any such action is conditioned upon the consummation of the Transactions.

Section 6.04     Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a)     Parent agrees that, for a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, all rights existing as of the Agreement Date to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time in favor of the current and/or former directors, officers or employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as provided in their respective memorandum and articles of association or by-laws (or comparable organizational documents) and any indemnification or other similar agreements of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in effect as of the Agreement Date will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and Parent will cause the Surviving Company and the Company Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each individual who was prior to or is as of the Agreement Date, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or who was prior to or is as of the Agreement Date, or who thereafter commences prior to the Effective Time, serving at the request of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries as a director, officer or employee of another Person (the “Company Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, Liabilities, Judgments, fines, fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any Action (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement and the Transactions)), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Company Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a director, officer or employee of another Person, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In the event of any such Action, (x) each Company Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such Action from the Surviving Company within 10 Business Days of receipt by the Surviving Company from the Company Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by applicable Law, the Surviving Company’s memorandum and articles of association (or comparable organizational documents) or any applicable indemnification agreement, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final non-appealable adjudication that such Person is not entitled to indemnification and (y) the Surviving Company will cooperate in the defense of any such matter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the Company Indemnified Parties covered by the

claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

(b)     For a period of six years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company will, and Parent will cause the Surviving Company to, either maintain or cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance and employment practices liability insurance maintained by the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or provide substitute policies for the Company and Company Subsidiaries and the insured Persons who are covered by such insurance currently maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (the “Current Insurance”), in either case, with limits not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured Persons than the Current Insurance with respect to claims and matters arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, except that in no event will the Surviving Company be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies in respect of any one policy year more than 300% of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Company prior to the Agreement Date (the “Maximum Amount”), and if the Surviving Company is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section ‎6.04(b) it will obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for each year within such six-year period for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Amount. In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Closing Date the Company may, at its option (and shall, if Parent so requests), purchase “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, fiduciary liability insurance and employment practices liability insurance for a period of six years for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the insured Persons who are covered by Current Insurance, such tail insurance to provide coverage with limits not less than, and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured Persons than, the Current Insurance with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time; provided that in no event will the aggregate cost of any such tail insurance exceed the Maximum Amount. Parent will cause the Surviving Company to, and the Surviving Company will, maintain such insurance policies in full force and effect without any amendment adverse to the insured Persons thereunder, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c)     The provisions of this Section ‎6.04 (i) will 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 Company Indemnified Parties) to the extent of such indemnified or insured party’s interest herein, and his or her heirs and estates, 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.

(d)     From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall guarantee the prompt payments of the obligations of the Surviving Company and the Company Subsidiaries under this Section ‎6.04.

(e)     In the event that the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, the Surviving Company will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company assume the Surviving Company’s obligations set forth in this Section ‎6.04.

(f)     Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to insurance claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section ‎6.04 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims pursuant to such policies or agreements.

Section 6.05     Transaction Litigation. The Company will give Parent prompt notice of any shareholder Action commenced, or to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened, against the Company, any Company Subsidiary and/or their respective directors or officers relating to the Transactions. The Company will give Parent the reasonable opportunity to consult with the Company and participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder Action against the Company, any Company Subsidiary and/or their respective directors or officers relating to the Transactions. None of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Representative of the Company will compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any such shareholder Action, in each case, unless Parent has consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Company may compromise, settle or come to an agreement regarding shareholder Actions, if the resolution of such litigation requires only additional disclosure by the Company in the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3.

For purposes of this ‎Section 6.05, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the shareholder Action by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not waived), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such shareholder Action that the Company will consider in good faith with the Company retaining authority over such shareholder Action.

Section 6.06     Public Announcements. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub agrees that no public release or announcement concerning the Transactions will be issued by or on behalf of any of them or their Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Company (as to any release by Parent or its Affiliates), and Parent (as to any release by the Company or its Subsidiaries), which consent of such Parties will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable national securities exchange or Governmental Entity to which the relevant party is subject, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement will use its reasonable best efforts to allow each other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. The Company, Parent and Merger Sub agree that the initial press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement will be a joint press release of Parent and the Company and will not be issued prior to the approval of each of Parent and the Company. In addition, each of the Company, Parent and the Sponsors, will be entitled to issue separate press releases announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement which, in the case of the Company’s initial press release, will be subject to prior approval of Parent and, in the case of Parent’s and the Sponsors’ press releases, will be subject to the prior approval of the Company (in all cases, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section ‎6.06, (i) the Sponsors, Parent, the Representatives of Parent or the Sponsors, the Company and the Representatives of the Company may make public releases or announcements concerning the Transactions that are substantially consistent with previous press releases or announcements made by Parent, the Sponsors and/or the Company in compliance with this Section ‎6.06, (ii) the Sponsors, Parent, the Representatives of Parent or the Sponsors, the Company and the Representatives of the Company may make public statements to the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or financial analyst conference calls, so long as any such statements are materially consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by the Company, Parent or the Sponsors in compliance with this Section ‎6.06 and do not reveal material, non-public information regarding the other parties, the Merger, or the other Transactions, (iii) Sponsors, Parent, the Representatives of Parent or Sponsors, the Company and the Representatives of the Company may make internal announcements to their respective employees, and the Company and its Affiliates may make announcements to their respective customers; provided that such announcements are (a) in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the other Party and (b) regarding a general description of the Transactions that is otherwise consistent with the Parties’ permitted prior public disclosures regarding this Agreement and the Transactions, and (iv) the restrictions set forth in this Section ‎6.06 do not apply to any release or announcement (or any portion thereof) made or proposed to be made in connection with, or in response to, an Adverse Recommendation Change or an Alternative Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent, Merger Sub, the Sponsors and their respective Affiliates, without consulting with the Company, may provide ordinary course communications regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to existing or prospective investors, general and limited partners, equityholders, members and managers of any Affiliates of such person, in each case, who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions.

Section 6.07     Employment and Company Benefits.

(a)     For the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first (1^st) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent will, or will cause the Surviving Company to, provide each Company Employee with (i) a base salary or hourly wage rate that is no less favorable than the base salary or hourly wage rate provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) target short- and long-term cash incentive compensation opportunities that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the short- and long-term cash incentive compensation opportunities in effect for the Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (for purposes of clarity, excluding equity or equity-based compensation and retention or change in control compensation), and (iii) other compensation and benefits (for purposes of clarity, excluding equity or equity-based compensation and retention or change in control compensation) that, with respect to each Company Employee, are substantially comparable in the aggregate to other compensation and benefits provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Employee”

means any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary who is employed at the Closing Date and who remains employed with the Surviving Company, any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Affiliate of Parent immediately following the Closing. With respect to the matters addressed by this Section 6.07(a), to the extent that applicable Law imposes any requirements that are more favorable to a Company Employee, such requirements shall control (but in no event shall any such Company Employee be entitled to any duplication of benefits by reason thereof).

(b)     Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, provide each Company Employee who incurs a termination of employment within 1 year of the Closing Date with severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than the greater of the severance payments and benefits that such Company Employee would have received from the Company with respect to such termination had such termination occurred immediately prior to the Closing. With respect to the matters addressed by this Section 6.07(b), to the extent that applicable Law imposes any requirements that are more favorable to a Company Employee, such requirements shall control (but in no event shall any such Company Employee be entitled to any duplication of benefits by reason thereof).

(c)     For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits under any employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries (exclusive of the Company) in which any Company Employees become eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, provide each Company employee with credit for his or her years of service with the Company and any respective predecessors before the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing service credit shall not be required to apply (x) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service or (y) with respect to any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, cause each Company employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits, and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Company employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, cause (x) all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company employee and his or her covered dependents and (y) any eligible expenses incurred by any Company employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year during which the Closing Date occurs to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(d)     No provision of this Agreement will (i) create any right in any Company Employee or any other employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to continued employment by Parent, the Surviving Company or their respective Affiliates, or preclude the ability of Parent or the Surviving Company or their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason; (ii) require Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective Affiliates to continue any particular Company Benefit Plans or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date; or (iii) be treated as an amendment to any employee benefit plan of Parent or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of Section ‎9.07, and any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section ‎6.07 will create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person, including any Company Employee or current or former Service Provider of the Company or its Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

Section 6.08     Merger Sub; Parent Subsidiaries. Parent will cause each of Merger Sub and any other applicable Affiliate of Parent to comply with and perform all of its obligations under or relating to this Agreement and the Plan of Merger, including, in the case of Merger Sub, to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan of Merger. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Parent, as sole shareholder of Merger Sub, will authorize and approve (as applicable) this Agreement and the Plan of Merger.

Section 6.09     Stock Exchange Delisting; Deregistration. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will cooperate with Parent and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law and rules and policies of Nasdaq to enable the delisting by the Surviving Company of the Common Shares from Nasdaq, the deregistration

of the Common Shares under the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Company’s reporting obligations as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

Section 6.10     No Amendment to Parent Group Contracts. Without the Company’s prior written consent, Parent, Sponsor and Merger Sub shall not enter into any Contract or amend, modify, withdraw or terminate any Parent Group Contract or waive any rights thereunder in a manner that would (i) result, directly or indirectly, in any of the Rollover Shares ceasing to be treated as Excluded Shares or decrease the aggregate number of Rollover Shares of the Rollover Shareholders (provided that (x) Parent may increase or decrease the number of Rollover Shares of any of the Persons (or their respective Affiliates) set forth on Schedule E so long as the aggregate Rollover Shares thereof does not decrease below the minimum number set forth on such Schedule E and (y) Parent shall obtain the Company’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) in connection with any increase in the number of Rollover Shares of any Persons (or their respective Affiliates) not set forth on such Schedule E), in each case, other than as provided in the Rollover and Support Agreement, (ii) individually or in the aggregate, prevent or materially delay the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions or (iii) prevent or materially impair the ability of any management member or director of the Company, with respect to any Superior Proposal, taking any of the actions (in such individual’s capacity as a management member or director of the Company acting on behalf of the Company), described in ‎Section 5.04(b) and ‎Section 5.04(d), to the extent such actions are permitted to be taken by the Company thereunder; provided that in no event shall Parent amend or modify the Rollover and Support Agreement or the Equity Commitment Letters in any manner that is adverse to the rights of the Company to enforce certain terms thereof as a third-party beneficiary without the Special Committee’s prior written consent. Within three (3) Business Days prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company with a copy of any Contract (other than any Contract entered into by and between any Rollover Shareholder or Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and any other Affiliate of such Rollover Shareholder or Sponsor, any limited partner or co-investor of any Affiliate of Sponsor, or any affiliated investment fund or investment vehicle that is advised, managed or sponsored by the investment or fund manager of Sponsor or any Affiliate thereof (or any general partner, limited partner or officer thereof), on the other hand) (each an “Applicable Contract”) relating to the Transactions that is entered into after the Agreement Date and to which any of Parent, Merger Sub, Rollover Shareholders or Sponsor is a party. Parent shall notify the Company in writing within three (3) Business Days prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, if any Applicable Contract is modified pursuant to which any management members, directors or shareholders of the Company, or any of their respective Affiliates, receives any consideration or other economic interest from any person in connection with the Transaction that is not provided or expressly contemplated in the Parent Group Contracts as of the Agreement Date, including any carried interest, share option, share appreciation right or other forms of equity or quasi-equity right. Parent and Merger Sub agree that any action taken by any party to the Interim Investors Agreement who is not a party to this Agreement that would constitute a breach of this ‎Section 6.10 if such Person were a party to this Agreement for the purposes of this ‎Section 6.10 shall be deemed to be a breach of this ‎Section 6.10.

Section 6.11     Financing.

(a)     Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange, obtain and consummate the proceeds of the Financing as soon as practicable, and in any event no later than the Closing, on the terms and conditions described in the Equity Commitment Letters, including using (and causing its Subsidiaries to use) their respective reasonable best efforts to: (i) comply with and maintain in full force and effect the Equity Commitment Letters in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof; (ii) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on the terms and subject only to the conditions contained in the Equity Commitment Letters and comply with and maintain in full force and effect the Equity Commitment Letters in accordance with the terms and subject only to the conditions thereof, so that the Equity Commitment Letters are in full force and effect as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date, but in no event later than the Closing; and (iii) draw down upon and consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing.

(b)     Neither Parent nor its Affiliates shall agree to any amendment, supplement or other modification to, obtain any replacement of, or grant any waivers of, any condition or other provision of any Equity Commitment Letter in a manner that is reasonably likely to materially delay or prevent the Closing without the prior written consent of the Company. Parent shall not permit, release or consent to the withdrawal, termination,

(g)     The parties hereto acknowledge that, in the event that a Debt Document Waiver is withdrawn, modified or terminated, Parent may attempt to arrange third party debt financing for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Debt Financing”) and, if Parent so chooses to seek the Debt Financing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives to provide, such customary cooperation as is reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing.

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

Section 8.01     Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Effective Time (except with respect to Section ‎8.01(d) and Section ‎8.01(f), whether before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval):

(a)     by mutual written consent of the Company (provided that such termination has been approved by the Special Committee) and Parent;

(b)     by either the Company (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or Parent:

(i)     if the Merger is not consummated on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 10, 2024 (the “End Date”); provided that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section ‎8.01(b)(i) will not be available to any Party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement or the Rollover and Support Agreement directly or indirectly principally causes or results in the failure of the Merger to be consummated by the End Date; provided that in the event a Specified Event occurs, the End Date shall automatically be extended to the date that is thirty-one (31) days after the End Date; or

(ii)     if the condition set forth in Section ‎7.01(b) is not satisfied and the Legal Restraint giving rise to such non-satisfaction has become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section ‎8.01(b)(ii) shall have used its reasonable best efforts as required hereby to remove such Legal Restraint; provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section ‎8.01(b)(ii) will not be available to a Party if the issuance of such Legal Restraint was primarily due to the failure of such Party, and, in the case of Parent, the failure of Merger Sub, to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(c)     by the Company (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee), if Parent or Merger Sub has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub has become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section ‎7.02(a) or Section ‎7.02(b), as the case may be, could not be satisfied as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 8.01(c) unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured by the earlier of (i) 20 Business Days after written notice by the Company to Parent informing Parent of such breach or failure to be true and (ii) the day prior to the End Date; and provided, further, that the Company may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this ‎Section 8.01(c) if the Company is then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect;

(d)     by the Company (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) prior to receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, in order to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section ‎5.04(d); provided that the Company pays the Termination Fee substantially concurrently with such termination (it being understood that the Company will enter into such definitive written agreement substantially concurrently with such termination of this Agreement);

(e)     by Parent, if the Company has breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company has become untrue, in each case, such that the conditions set forth in Section ‎7.03(a), Section ‎7.03(b), or Section ‎7.03(c), as the case may be, could not be satisfied as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section ‎8.01(e) unless any such breach or failure to be true has not been cured by the earlier of (i) 20 Business Days after written notice by Parent to the Company informing the Company of such breach or failure to be true and (ii) the day prior to the End Date; and provided, further, that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section ‎8.01(e) if Parent or Merger Sub is then in breach of this Agreement or the Rollover and Support Agreement in any material respect;

(g)     by the Company (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) if the Company Shareholder Approval has not been obtained at a duly convened Company Shareholders Meeting or any due adjournment thereof at which a vote on the Merger was taken.

Section 8.02     Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement by either Parent or the Company as provided in Section ‎8.01, this Agreement will forthwith become void and have no effect, without any Liability on the part of the Parties (or any shareholder or Representative of a Party), other than Liability arising from the final sentence of Section ‎6.02, Section ‎6.06, this Section ‎8.02, Section ‎8.03 and Article ‎IX, which provisions will survive such termination of this Agreement; provided that nothing herein will relieve a Party from Liability resulting from such Party’s Fraud or willful breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful breach” means a material breach that is a consequence of an act or omission undertaken by the breaching Party with the Knowledge that the taking of, or failure to take, such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause or constitute a breach of this Agreement; it being acknowledged and agreed, without limitation, that any failure by any Party to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions after the applicable conditions thereto have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, which conditions would be capable of being satisfied at such time) will constitute a willful breach of this Agreement.

Section 8.03     Fees and Expenses. Except as specifically provided for herein, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions will be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

(a)     The Company will pay to Parent a fee of $20,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) if:

(i)     the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section ‎8.01(d) or Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section ‎8.01(f); or

(ii)     (A) after the Agreement Date but prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section ‎8.01, an Alternative Proposal is made by a Third Party to the Company or the Special Committee and not withdrawn (publicly if such Alternative Proposal has been made known publicly) prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting or is made directly to the Company’s shareholders by a Third Party and not publicly withdrawn prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting; (B) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section ‎8.01(b)(i), or by Parent pursuant to Section ‎8.01(e); and (C) within twelve (12) months of such termination, (x) the Company enters into a definitive Contract for an Alternative Proposal and such Alternative Proposal is consummated (whether during or after such twelve-month period) or (y) an Alternative Proposal is consummated; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section ‎8.03(a)(ii), the references to 20% in the definition of “Alternative Proposal” will be deemed to be references to 50%.

Any Termination Fee due under this Section ‎8.03(a) will be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds (x) in the case of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section ‎8.01(d), substantially concurrently with and not later than the

next Business Day following such termination, (y) in the case of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section ‎8.01(f), no later than the fifth Business Day immediately following the date of such termination, and (z) in the case of clause ‎(ii) above, on the date of consummation as referred to in clause ‎(ii)(C) above.

(b)     The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section ‎8.03 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay the Termination Fee as and when due to Parent pursuant to this Section ‎8.03, it will also be obligated to pay any costs and expenses incurred by Parent in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee (the “Costs and Expenses”), together with interest on the amount of any unpaid Termination Fee and Costs and Expenses at the publicly announced prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition, from the date such Termination Fee and/or Costs and Expenses were required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date (the “Interest”).

(c)     If Parent receives payment of the Termination Fee (and if payable pursuant to this Section ‎8.03, the Costs and Expenses and/or Interest) under the circumstances in which it is payable as provided in this Section ‎8.03, the receipt of the Termination Fee, together with the Costs and Expenses and/or Interest, if payable pursuant to this Section ‎8.03, will be (i) the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective direct or indirect former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates or assignees of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) for all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions to be consummated or for any breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount (in circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable), none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation whatsoever relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions and (ii) deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all damages or losses suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement (or any matter forming the basis for such termination), and neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates will be entitled to bring any Action or otherwise be entitled to any remedy against the Company or any of its Affiliates, at law or in equity or otherwise, arising from or in connection with this Agreement (including the termination thereof) or any of the Transactions. Any payment of the Termination Fee made by the Company will be payable only once and not in duplication even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions of this Section ‎8.03.

(d)     No member of the Parent Group (other than Parent or Merger Sub) will be liable for monetary damages for breaches under this Agreement. Parent or Merger Sub will not have Liability under this Agreement, other than for Parent or Merger Sub’s Fraud or willful breach of this Agreement; provided, that in no event shall Parent and Merger Sub be liable for monetary damages in excess of the Parent Liability Cap. In no event will the Company or any Company Subsidiary seek or obtain, nor will they permit any of their Representatives or any other person acting on their behalf to seek or obtain, nor will any person be entitled to seek or obtain, any monetary recovery or monetary award against any member of the Parent Group, other than (i) Parent or Merger Sub or (ii) any of the parties to the Equity Commitment Letters pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letters (subject to the limitations set forth therein), for any loss or damage suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or failure to perform hereunder (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or other failure of the Merger or the other Transactions to be consummated (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise). For the avoidance of doubt, no member of the Parent Group (other than (i) Parent or Merger Sub or (ii) any of the parties to the Equity Commitment Letters pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letters (subject to the limitations set forth therein)) shall have any liability for monetary damages of any kind or nature or arising in any circumstance in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transactions (including the Equity Commitment Letters or the Support and the Rollover Agreement), and in no event shall the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Related Party seek, or permit to be sought, on behalf of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Company Related Party, seek or obtain any monetary damages of any kind, including consequential, special, indirect or punitive against the Parent Group (other than (i) Parent or Merger Sub or (ii) any of the parties to the Equity Commitment Letters pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letters (subject to the limitations set forth therein)) for, or with respect to, this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters or the Support and Rollover Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby

(including any breach by the Parent, Merger Sub or the Sponsors), the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Merger or any claims or actions under applicable law arising out of any such breach, termination or failure. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Parent Liability Cap” means $86,000,000.

Section 8.04     Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that (i) after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, no amendment that by Law, requires further approval by the Company’s shareholders will be made without the further approval of such shareholders, and (ii) except as provided above, no amendment of this Agreement will be submitted to be approved by the Company’s shareholders unless required by Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties and any such amendment or waiver by the Company will be at the direction of and only be valid if approved by the Special Committee. Termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time will not require the approval of the shareholders of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company.

Section 8.05     Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties may (in writing) (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 contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (c) waive compliance with any covenants and agreements 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 will require the approval of the Company’s shareholders unless such approval is required by Law but will be at the direction of and only be valid if approved by the Special Committee. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided will be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Law.

Section 9.04     Interpretation.

(a)     When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section or an Exhibit, such reference will be to an Article, a Section or an Exhibit of or to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth herein. The table of contents, index of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein has the meaning assigned to such term in this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in

the phrase “to the extent” will mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase will not mean simply “if.” When used in reference to the Company or any Company Subsidiaries, the term “material” shall be measured against the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The following general rules apply: the singular number will include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender will include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender will include the masculine and feminine genders. Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein will include any modification, amendment or re-enactment thereof, and any Law substituted therefor, in each case, as of the time of inquiry, representation, or covenant and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued or related to such Law. Any reference to a Governmental Entity will be also deemed to refer to any successor thereto unless the context requires otherwise. A reference to any agreement (including this Agreement), or Contract is, unless otherwise specified, to the agreement, Contract as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced prior to the Agreement Date (and Made Available to Parent, if included in the Company Disclosure Letter). Neither the specification of any dollar amount in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Schedules or Exhibits is intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party will use the fact of setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of such item in the Schedules or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between or among the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. No prior draft of this Agreement nor any course of performance or course of dealing between the Parties will be used in the interpretation or construction of this Agreement. Although the same or similar subject matters may be addressed in different provisions of this Agreement, the Parties intend that, except as reasonably apparent on the face of the Agreement or as expressly provided in this Agreement, each such provision will be read separately, be given independent significance and not be construed as limiting any other provision of this Agreement (whether or not more general or more specific in scope, substance or content). References herein to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Any reference to “days” means calendar days unless Business Days are expressly specified. When calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and, if the last day of such period is not a Business Day, the period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. References to the “ordinary course of business” or words of similar import shall, in each case, be deemed to mean the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice including with respect to quantity and frequency, as applicable; provided that any action taken, or omitted to be taken, and any adjustments and modifications thereto taken in reasonable or in good faith response to or as a result of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measures shall not in and of itself be deemed to be not in the “ordinary course of business.”

(b)     Each Party represents and agrees with each other that it has been represented by or had the opportunity to be represented by, independent counsel of its own choosing, and that it has had the full right and opportunity to consult with its respective attorney(s), that to the extent, if any, that it desired, it availed itself of this right and opportunity, that it or its authorized officers (as the case may be) have carefully read and fully understand this Agreement in its entirety and have had it fully explained to them by such Party’s respective counsel, and that it or its authorized officer (as the case may be) is competent to execute this Agreement and has executed this Agreement free from coercion, duress or undue influence. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement in connection with the Transactions, with the opportunity to seek advice as to their legal rights from such counsel. In the event an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement is to be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof is to arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof.

Section 9.05     Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy (a) such term or other provision will be fully separable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; and (c) all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party or such Party waives its rights under this Section ‎9.05 with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Transactions are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 9.06     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

Section 9.07     Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement, taken together with the Company Disclosure Letter, the Equity Commitment Letters, the Non-Disclosure Agreements and the Rollover and Support Agreement, (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the Merger and the other Transactions; and (b) except for Section ‎2.04 and Section ‎6.04, this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies.

Section 9.08     GOVERNING LAW. This agreement, including all matters of construction, validity and performance and any action or counterclaim (whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this agreement or any of the transactions or the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof, will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under any applicable principles of choice or conflicts of laws of the state of Delaware, except to the extent the provisions of the laws of the Cayman Islands are mandatorily applicable, including: the Merger, the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of each of Merger Sub and the Company in the Surviving Company, the cancellation of the Common Shares and Excluded Shares, the rights provided for in Section 238 of the CICA with respect to any Dissenting Shares, the fiduciary or other duties of the Special Committee, the Company Board, the Parent Board and the Merger Sub Board and the internal corporate affairs of the Company and Merger Sub.

Section 9.09     Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement will be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that the rights, interests and obligations of Merger Sub may be, upon prior written notice to the Company, assigned to another direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment will relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Any purported assignment without such consent will be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 9.10     Specific Enforcement; Jurisdiction; Venue.

(a)     The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the right of a Party to cause the other Parties to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions, except as may be limited by ‎Section 8.03. It is agreed that the Parties are entitled to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to below, without proof of actual damages (and each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, except as may be limited by ‎Section 8.03. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law, or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. In addition, each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be brought and determined in (i) the Delaware Court of Chancery, (ii) in the event (but only in the event) that such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or other proceeding, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or (iii) in the event (but only in the event) such courts identified in clauses (i) and (ii) do not have subject matter jurisdiction over such suit, action or other proceeding, any other Delaware state court, in each case, except to the extent that any such Action mandatorily must be brought in the Cayman Islands. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Transactions.

Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree, or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein will constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason; (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise); and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper, or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. In no event may a party receive both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages.

(b)     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary and without limiting any right of the Company to enforce any other obligations of Parent or Merger Sub set forth herein, it is explicitly agreed that the Company shall be entitled to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to cause Parent and Merger Sub to cause, or for the Company to directly cause, in accordance with and just to the extent of its third party beneficiary rights under the Equity Commitment Letters, the Financing to be funded on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters and this Agreement and cause the Closing to occur if, and only if, each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (i) all conditions in Section ‎7.01 and ‎Section 7.03 (in each case other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which shall be capable of being satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied at the time when the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of the Financing to be funded, and remain satisfied, and (ii) with respect to any funding of the Financing to occur at the Closing, the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur.

Section 9.11     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION ‎9.11.

Section 9.12     Disclosure Letter and Previously Filed Company SEC Document References.

(a)     The Parties agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter will only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (i) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (ii) any other representations and warranties of the Company that are contained in this Agreement, but only to the extent the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties would be reasonably apparent on its face, without review of the underlying documents, notwithstanding the omission of a cross-reference to such other section or subsections.

(b)     The Parties agree that any information contained in any part of any Previously Filed Company SEC Document described in the first sentence of Article ‎III will only be deemed to be an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) the representations and warranties of the Company if the relevance of that information as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties would be reasonably apparent on its face, together with the Company Disclosure Letter, in each case, excluding any disclosures set forth in any “risk factors” section, any disclosures in any “forward-looking statements” section and any other disclosures to the extent they are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature, and excluding any information incorporated by reference or exhibits attached to any of the foregoing.

Section 9.13     Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and its and their present or former directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members or employees, that all proceedings, claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to any of the following: (a) this Agreement, any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or any other agreement referenced herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder, (b) the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or any other agreement referenced herein or therein (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement, any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or such other agreement), (c) any breach or violation of this agreement, any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or any other agreement referenced herein or therein and (d) any failure of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or any other agreement referenced herein or therein to be consummated, in each case, may be made only against (and are those solely of) the persons that are expressly identified as parties to this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letters (in accordance therewith and subject to the limitations set forth therein) or such other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or any other agreement referenced herein or therein, as applicable, and, in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or such other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or any other agreement referenced herein or therein, as applicable.
