The date on which the Closing takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.4.    Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Parties shall execute and file as a premium filing (as such term is used by the Registrar of Corporate Affairs of the British Virgin Islands (the “Registrar”)) articles of merger in substantially the form attached as Annex B hereto (the “Articles of Merger”), which will have attached to it, a plan of merger in substantially the form attached as Annex C hereto (the “Plan of Merger”) with the Registrar, and at the Closing, shall make any and all other filings or recordings required under the BVI Act in connection with the Merger (including the filing by Merger Sub’s registered agent of a letter confirming it has no objections to the Merger). The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Articles of Merger are duly registered by the Registrar, or at such other date or time as Parent and the Company shall agree in writing (subject to the requirements of the BVI Act) and shall specify in the Articles of Merger (the time the Merger becomes effective, the “Effective Time”).

Section 1.5.    Governing Documents.

ARTICLE II

TREATMENT OF SECURITIES

Section 2.1.    Treatment of Securities.

(a)    The Merger. At the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof:

(i)    Each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Dissenting Shares or Cancelled Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive $57.00 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, all Company Ordinary Shares (other than any Dissenting Shares or Cancelled Shares) shall as a result of the conversion cease to be issued and outstanding and shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a valid certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Company Ordinary Shares (each, a “Certificate”) or evidenced by way of book-entry in the register of members of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Book-Entry Share”) shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Ordinary Shares, except the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration upon the surrender of such Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 2.2.

(ii)    Each Company Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned or held in treasury by the Company or is owned by Parent or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”).

(iii)    Each ordinary share of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable ordinary share, no par value, of the Surviving Company.

(b)    Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and only to the extent available under the BVI Act, if a holder of Company Ordinary Shares (a “Dissenting Shareholder”) properly demands in writing, and does not withdraw or lose, its dissenters’ rights for such Company Ordinary Shares, in accordance with Section 179 of the

-3-

BVI Act (the “Dissenting Shares”) and otherwise complies with all provisions of the BVI Act relevant to the exercise and perfection of dissenters’ rights, then the Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive an amount for such Dissenting Shares calculated in accordance with Section 179 of the BVI Act (the “Dissenter Consideration”). For the avoidance of doubt, from and after the Effective Time, the Dissenting Shares will automatically be cancelled as a result of the Merger and will cease to exist or be outstanding and each shareholder who has properly exercised such dissenters’ rights will cease to be a member or shareholder of the Company (and will not be a member or shareholder of the Surviving Company) and will not have any rights of a shareholder of the Company or the Surviving Company with respect to the Dissenting Shares (including any right to receive such holder’s portion of the Merger Consideration), except the right to receive payment of the Dissenter Consideration, unless, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his, her or its right to dissent, in which case the Dissenting Shares will only have the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificates, if any, in accordance with this Article II.

(c)    Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately, without duplication, to reflect the effect of any division or combination of shares, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Ordinary Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of Company Ordinary Shares outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.2.    Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a)    Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a national or international bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company Shareholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1(a) (such cash amounts, the “Exchange Fund”), in each case, for the sole benefit of the holders of Company Ordinary Shares. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Ordinary Shares (other than Dissenting Shares and Cancelled Shares) pursuant to this Article II; provided, further, that following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Ordinary Shares at the Effective Time in the amount of such losses, which additional funds shall be deemed to be part of the Exchange Fund. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

-4-

(b)    Procedures for Surrender.

(i)    Company Ordinary Share Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time, and in any event within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate and whose Company Ordinary Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if reasonably required by Parent, an indemnity bond) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (B) customary instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if reasonably required by Parent, an indemnity bond) in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration into which such Company Ordinary Shares have been converted pursuant to Section 2.1. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if reasonably required by Parent, an indemnity bond) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II for each Company Ordinary Share formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if reasonably required by Parent, an indemnity bond) so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if reasonably required by Parent, an indemnity bond) upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (x) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any Transfer Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid.

(ii)    Book-Entry Shares. Any holder of any Book-Entry Shares whose Company Ordinary Shares were converted pursuant to Section 2.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one or more Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, the applicable Merger

-5-

Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article II for each Company Ordinary Share formerly represented by such Book-Entry Share, and the Book-Entry Share so exchanged shall be forthwith cancelled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(iii)    No Interest. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.2(e)) or in respect of any Book-Entry Share.

(c)    Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Ordinary Shares. At the Effective Time, the register of members of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Ordinary Shares on the records of the Company. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Company Ordinary Share (other than any Dissenting Shares or Cancelled Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II. If, after the Effective Time, a Certificate is presented to Parent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

(d)    Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Exchange Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Company Ordinary Shares (other than any Dissenting Shares or Cancelled Shares), and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 2.2(e)) and compliance with the procedures in Section 2.2(a), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of Company Ordinary Shares for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e)    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and, if reasonably required by Parent, an indemnity bond, the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.1.

Section 2.3.    Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a)    At the Effective Time, each Company Option with a per share exercise price equal to or in excess of the Merger Consideration and that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to acquire Company Ordinary Shares

-6-

and shall be assumed and converted automatically into an option to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted Option”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted Option shall have an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) the per share exercise price for Company Ordinary Shares subject to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each Adjusted Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company Option under the applicable Company Equity Plan and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms and terms related to the treatment upon termination of employment.

(b)    At the Effective Time, each Company Option with a per share exercise price that is less than the Merger Consideration and that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled, with the holder of such Company Option becoming entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of the holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (ii) the excess of the Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price applicable to the Company Option.

(c)    At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a non-employee director of the Company will vest as of the Effective Time and shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled, with the holder of such Company RSU becoming entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, the Merger Consideration in respect of each Company Ordinary Share subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d)    Except as set forth on Section 2.3(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter, at the Effective Time, each Company RSU (other than any Company RSU covered by Section 2.3(c)) that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be assumed and converted automatically into a restricted stock unit award with respect to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted RSU”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Conversion Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted RSU shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company RSU under the applicable Company Equity Plan and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms and terms related to the treatment upon termination of employment.

(e)    At the Effective Time, each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, fully vest and be cancelled in consideration for the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect to the number of Company Ordinary Shares equal to the number of

-7-

Company Ordinary Shares subject to such Company PSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (with such number of Company Ordinary Shares determined based on (i) actual performance as determined by the Compensation and Talent Committee of the Company Board of Directors for any fully completed measurement period or performance period, as applicable, ended prior to the Effective Time to the extent the Compensation and Talent Committee of the Company Board of Directors can reasonably determine the level of achievement of performance for such completed measurement period or performance period, as applicable, prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) target performance for any measurement period or performance period, as applicable, for which performance has not previously been determined as provided in clause (i)).

(f)    Parent shall cause the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to pay through the payroll system of the Surviving Company or one of its Subsidiaries (to the extent applicable) to each holder of a Company Option, Company RSU or Company PSU the amounts due to such holder under Section 2.3(b), Section 2.3(c), Section 2.3(d) and Section 2.3(e), as applicable, without interest and less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under applicable Law with respect to the making of such payment, as promptly as practicable (but no later than two (2) Business Days) following the Effective Time; provided that the Merger Consideration with respect to any Company Equity Award that constitutes nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be paid at the earliest time permitted under the terms of such award that will not result in the application of a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code.

(g)    Parent shall file or cause to be filed with the SEC, no later than the date on which the Effective Time occurs, a registration statement on a Form S-8 (or any successor form or other appropriate form, including a Form S-1 or Form S-3) relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Adjusted Options and Adjusted RSUs. Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or statements (and maintain the current status of the prospectuses or prospectuses contained therein) for so long as such awards remain outstanding.

(h)    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions and adopt all such resolutions as are necessary to effectuate the treatment of the Company Equity Awards as contemplated by this Section 2.3.

Section 2.4.    Withholding. Each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted with respect to such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or non-U.S. Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, (a) such deducted or withheld amounts shall be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law and (b) any such deducted or withheld amounts so remitted shall 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. If Parent or Merger Sub determines that it or any of its affiliates, permitted successors or assigns is required to deduct or withhold any amount from any payment hereunder (other than any backup withholding under Section 3406 of the Code (or a similar provision of state, local or foreign Law) or any withholding in respect of Company Equity Awards covered by Section 2.3) or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, then Parent

-8-

or Merger Sub, as applicable, shall provide notice to the Company of the intent to deduct or withhold such amount and the basis for such deduction or withholding as promptly as reasonably practicable, and the parties shall, and shall cause their applicable affiliates, permitted successors and assigns to, reasonably cooperate with one another in order to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding, including providing a reasonable opportunity for the applicable payee to provide forms or other evidence that would mitigate, reduce or eliminate such deduction or withholding.

Section 2.5.    Further Assurances. If at any time before or after the Effective Time, Parent or the Company reasonably believes or is advised that any further instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances are reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger or to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement at or after the Effective Time, then Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Company and their respective officers and directors shall execute and deliver all such instruments, deeds, assignments or assurances and do all other things reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger and to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement, but in each case subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b)    Parent has delivered to the Company a true, complete and correct copy of the executed Debt Commitment Letter and fee letters related thereto, subject, in the case of such fee letters, to redaction solely of fee amounts, the rates and amounts included in the “market flex” and other economic provisions that are customarily redacted in connection with transactions of this type and that could not in any event affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or amount of the Debt Financing.

(c)    Except as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders to provide the full amount of the Debt Financing pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter. Parent does not have any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis all terms and conditions to be satisfied by it in any of the Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to the Closing Date, nor does Parent have Knowledge that any Lender will not perform its obligations thereunder, in each case, assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III and compliance by the Company with its covenants contained in Article V and Article VI, in each case, in all material respects. There are no side letters, understandings or other Contracts of any kind relating to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing that could adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or amount of the Debt Financing.

-33-

(d)    The Debt Financing, when funded in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letter and giving effect to any “flex” provision in or related to the Debt Commitment Letter (including with respect to fees and original issue discount), and assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III and compliance by the Company with its covenants contained in Article V and Article VI, in each case, in all material respects, together with cash on hand at Parent, shall provide Parent with cash proceeds on the Closing Date sufficient for the satisfaction of all of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement and the Debt Commitment Letter, including the payment of the Merger Consideration, and any fees and expenses of or payable by Parent or Merger Sub or the other Parent Subsidiaries, and for any repayment or refinancing of any outstanding indebtedness of the Company and/or the Company Subsidiaries contemplated by, or required in connection with the transactions described in, this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letter (such amounts, collectively, the “Financing Amounts”).

(e)    The Debt Commitment Letter constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, all the other parties thereto and are in full force and effect, subject to (a) the effect of bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar Laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general equitable principles (whether considered in an Action in equity or at law). No event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would reasonably be expected to constitute a default, breach or failure to satisfy a condition by Parent under the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter. Parent does not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Debt Financing will not be satisfied by Parent on a timely basis or that the Debt Financing will not be available to Parent on the Closing Date, assuming the accuracy of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Article III and compliance by the Company with its covenants contained in Article V and Article VI, in each case, in all material respects. Parent has paid in full any and all commitment fees or other fees required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter on or before the entry into this Agreement. The Debt Commitment Letter has not been modified, amended or altered prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and none of the respective commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter have been terminated, reduced, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect.

(f)    In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Debt Financing) by Parent or any Parent Subsidiaries or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of the Parent or Merger Sub’s obligations under this Agreement.

Section 4.7.    Finders and Brokers. Other than Morgan Stanley & Co., LLC, neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary has employed, engaged or made any arrangements with any investment banker, broker or finder in connection with the Transactions who is entitled to any fee, any commission or any reimbursement of expenses in connection with this Agreement or upon or as a result of the consummation of the Merger.

Section 4.8.    Share Ownership. Neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary owns any Company Ordinary Shares as of the date hereof.

-34-

Section 4.9.    No Merger Sub Activity. Since its date of formation, Merger Sub has not engaged in any activities or incurred any obligations other than in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions.

Section 4.10.    Solvency. No transfer of property is being made, and no obligation is being incurred, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Parent, the Company, any Company Subsidiaries or any Parent Subsidiaries. Immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any financings being entered into in connection therewith): (a) the Fair Value of the assets of Parent and Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be greater than the total amount of Parent’s and Parent Subsidiaries’ liabilities (including all liabilities, whether or not reflected in a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, and whether direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, secured or unsecured, disputed or undisputed), taken as a whole; (b) Parent and Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall be able to pay their debts and obligations in the ordinary course of business as they become due; and (c) Parent and Parent Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, shall have adequate capital to carry on their businesses and all businesses in which they are about to engage. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Fair Value” means the amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of Parent and Parent Subsidiaries would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.

Section 4.11.    No Other Representations. Except for the express written representations and warranties made by Parent and Merger Sub contained in this Article IV, neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any Representative or other Person on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective affiliates, or of Parent’s or Merger Sub’s business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations or with respect to any other information provided to the Company in connection with the Transactions or with respect to future operating or financial results, estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans or prospects), and the Company expressly disclaims reliance on any representation or warranty of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person other than the representations and warranties expressly contained in this Article IV.

The Company shall, and shall cause the Company’s controlled affiliates and its directors and officers and any of their other respective Representatives acting on their behalf to, cease any activities occurring prior to the date hereof prohibited by the first sentence of this Section 5.2(a) with any persons with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. Promptly after the date hereof (and in any event within two (2) Business Days following the date hereof), the Company shall (A) request in writing that each person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Acquisition Proposal promptly destroy or return to the Company all nonpublic information heretofore furnished by the Company or any of its Representatives to such person or any of its Representatives and (B) terminate access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to an acquisition of the Company or any portion thereof by such person and its Representatives.

-42-

(b)    Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 5.2(a), if the Company receives, prior to the Company Shareholder Approval being obtained, an unsolicited, bona fide, written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a non-de minimis breach of this Section 5.2, which the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor (i) constitutes a Superior Proposal or (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, then in either event the Company may take the following actions: (x) furnish nonpublic information with respect to the Company to the person making such Acquisition Proposal, if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, the Company receives from such person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and the Company also provides Parent, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time such information is provided or made available to such person, any nonpublic information furnished to such other person that was not previously furnished to Parent, and (y) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with such person with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and its Representatives.

(c)    The Company shall promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) notify Parent of the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ or its or their respective Representatives’ receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, any proposals or inquiries that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary by any person who has made or would reasonably be expected to make any Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the person making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, and the material terms and conditions of any such proposal or offer, including unredacted copies of all written proposals or offers, including proposed agreements received by the Company or, if such Acquisition Proposal is not in writing, a reasonably detailed written description of the material terms and conditions thereof. Without limiting the Company’s other obligations under this Section 5.2, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt and timely basis (and in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) of the status and material terms (including any amendments or proposed amendments to such material terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal, including by providing unredacted copies of all written proposals or offers. Without limiting the Company’s other obligations under this Section 5.2, the Company shall promptly provide (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) to Parent any material nonpublic information concerning the Company provided to any other person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal that was not previously provided to Parent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after such determination) inform Parent in writing if the Company determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 5.2(b). The Company agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, enter into any agreement with any person which directly or indirectly prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with, or otherwise complying with, this Section 5.2.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2 to the contrary, but subject to Section 5.2(e), at any time prior to the Company Shareholder Approval being obtained, the Company Board of Directors may (i) make a Change of Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary or statutory duties

under applicable Law or (ii) make a Change of Recommendation and/or cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 8.1(h) in order to enter into a Company Acquisition Agreement for an Acquisition Proposal received after the date of this Agreement that did not result from a non-de minimis breach of this Section 5.2 (and such Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn) if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, but only if the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary or statutory duties under applicable Law; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been, or is concurrently, validly terminated in accordance with Section 8.1.

(e)    Prior to the Company taking any action permitted (i) under Section 5.2(d)(i), the Company shall provide Parent with three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor, and during such three (3) Business Day period (which period shall expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the third (3rd) Business Day), the Company shall cause its Representatives (including its executive officers) to negotiate in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement in a manner that would obviate the need to effect a Change of Recommendation and, if at the end of such three (3) Business Day period (which period shall expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the third (3rd) Business Day) the Company Board of Directors again makes the determination under Section 5.2(d)(i) in good faith (after taking into account any amendments proposed by Parent) or (ii) under Section 5.2(d)(ii), the Company shall provide Parent with three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors intends to take such action and specifying the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, including a copy of any proposed definitive documentation, and during such three (3) Business Day period (which period shall expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the third (3rd) Business Day), the Company shall cause its Representatives (including its executive officers) to negotiate in good faith (to the extent Parent indicates to the Company in writing that it desires to negotiate) any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal and at the end of such three (3) Business Day period (which period shall expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the third (3rd) Business Day) the Company Board of Directors again makes the determination under Section 5.2(d)(ii) (after in good faith taking into account the amendments proposed by Parent). With respect to Section 5.2(e)(ii), if there are any material amendments, revisions or changes to the terms of any such Superior Proposal (including any revision to the amount, form or mix of consideration the Company Shareholders would receive as a result of the Superior Proposal), the Company shall notify Parent of each such amendment, revision or change in compliance with Section 5.2(c) and the applicable three (3) Business Day period shall be extended until at least two (2) Business Days after the time that Parent receives notification from the Company of each such revision, and the Company Board of Directors shall not take any such action permitted under Section 5.2(d)(ii) prior to the end of any such period (which period shall expire at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the applicable day) as so extended in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.2(e).

Section 5.3.    Preparation of the Proxy Statement; Company Shareholders Meeting.

(a)    As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event more than twenty (20) Business Days thereafter (provided, that Parent complies with its obligations in this Section 5.3)), the Company shall prepare the Proxy Statement in preliminary form and shall cause such Proxy Statement to be filed with the SEC. Parent shall provide to the Company all information concerning Parent, Merger Sub, and their respective affiliates as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the Proxy Statement and shall otherwise reasonably assist and cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Proxy Statement and the resolution of any comments thereto received from the SEC. The parties shall respond as promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and file such other documents with the SEC as may be reasonably requested by the SEC in connection with the Proxy Statement. Each party shall notify the other party promptly of the receipt of any comments (whether written or oral) from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply the other party with copies of all correspondence between such party and any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Proxy Statement shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Securities Act. If at any time prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting (or any adjournment or postponement thereof) any information relating to Parent or the Company, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, is discovered by Parent or the Company, as applicable, that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that the Proxy Statement would not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed by the parties with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the Company Shareholders. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the commencement of the dissemination of the Proxy Statement to occur as promptly as reasonably practicable after the earlier of (i) two (2) Business Days after the resolution of any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the preliminary Proxy Statement or (ii) two (2) Business Days after (A) receiving notification that the SEC is not reviewing the preliminary Proxy Statement or (B) if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company by 11:59 P.M. (Eastern time) on the tenth (10^th) calendar day

-45-

following the filing of the preliminary Proxy Statement with the SEC, oral confirmation from the staff of the SEC that the SEC is not reviewing the preliminary Proxy Statement (it being agreed that if the Company shall not receive such notification within such 10 calendar day period, the Company shall promptly contact the staff of the SEC to request confirmation that the SEC does not intend to review the preliminary Proxy Statement). Prior to the filing of the Proxy Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or any dissemination thereof to the shareholders of the Company, or responding to any comments from the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document or response, which the Company shall consider in good faith.

The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to provide Parent with periodic updates (including voting reports) concerning proxy solicitation results, as reasonably requested by Parent.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting without Parent’s prior written consent; provided that without Parent’s prior written consent, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting (i) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement required by Law is provided to the shareholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Shareholders Meeting, (ii) if there are not sufficient affirmative votes in person or by proxy at such meeting to constitute a quorum at the Company Shareholders Meeting or to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, to allow reasonable additional time for solicitation of proxies for purposes of obtaining a quorum or the Company Shareholder Approval or (iii) if the Company otherwise reasonably determines in good faith that the Company Shareholder Approval is unlikely to be obtained or that it is otherwise advisable to do so to ensure that any information is provided to its shareholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting; provided that unless agreed to in writing by Parent, any such adjournment or postponement shall be for a period of no more than ten (10) Business Days. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) solicit from the Company Shareholders proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Transactions, including the Merger and (B) take all other action necessary or advisable to secure the Company Shareholder Approval, including, unless the Company Board of Directors has validly made a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.2, by communicating to the Company Shareholders the Company Board Recommendation and

-46-

including such Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement. Notwithstanding any Change of Recommendation, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (x) the Company Shareholders Meeting shall be convened and this Agreement shall be submitted to the Company Shareholders for approval at the Company Shareholders Meeting, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation and (y) all other obligations of the Parties hereunder shall continue in full force and effect and such obligations shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal).

(d)    Following receipt of Company Shareholder Approval, the Company shall promptly deliver notice (the “Shareholder Notice”) to each Company Shareholder who gave written objection to the Merger in accordance with Section 179(2) of the BVI Act and each Company Shareholder from whom written objection was not required in accordance with Section 179(2) of the BVI Act, which notice shall include the notice to shareholders required by Section 179 of the BVI Act of the approval of the Merger. The Company shall (i) give Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Shareholder Notice, and (ii) consider in good faith, and incorporate therein, all comments thereon reasonably proposed by Parent.

-47-

of the business, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries during such period (and not for the purpose of any actual or potential adverse Action or dispute between the parties or their affiliates) (such permitted purpose, the “Intended Purpose”), and during such period, the Company shall, and shall cause each Company Subsidiary to, furnish as promptly as practicable to Parent all information (financial or otherwise) concerning its business, properties, offices, Contracts and personnel as Parent may reasonably request for the Intended Purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide Parent or Parent’s Representatives with access to or to disclose information (i) that is prohibited from being disclosed pursuant to the terms of a Contract with a third party entered into prior to the date hereof or after the date hereof in the ordinary course of business (provided, however, that, at Parent’s written request, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (x) obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure or (y) make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable access or disclosure not in violation of such consent requirement), (ii) the disclosure of which would violate applicable Law (provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of such Law) or (iii) the disclosure of which would cause the loss of any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege (provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that such access or disclosure would not jeopardize attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.1(a), any document, correspondence or information or other access provided pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) may be redacted or otherwise limited to prevent disclosure of information concerning or relating to (A) the valuation of the Company, consideration or valuation of the Merger, (B) any Acquisition Proposal, Superior Proposal or Change of Recommendation, each subject to their respective obligations under Section 5.2 or (C) any other similarly confidential information, or any competitively sensitive information.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party, as applicable, agrees to (x) make, or cause to be made, an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days after the execution of this Agreement (unless a later date is mutually agreed between the Parties), and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary materials that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take all other actions necessary to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event by the Outside Date) and (y) make all other necessary filings under any applicable Regulatory Law as promptly as reasonably practicable, and to supply as promptly as reasonably practicable and advisable any additional information and documentary materials that may be requested under any Regulatory Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to, and the Company may not, and not permit any Company Subsidiary to, without the prior written consent of Parent, become subject to, consent to, or offer or agree to, take or commit to take any action with respect to, any requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order to (A) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of the Company, the Surviving Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing or (B) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of the Company, the Surviving Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing (unless, within such clause (B), such restriction, requirement or limitation shall have no material impact on the Company, the Surviving Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any Subsidiary of any of the foregoing or the Transactions); provided that if requested by Parent, the Company or its Subsidiaries will become subject to, consent to or offer or agree to, or otherwise take any action with respect to, any such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order so long as such requirement, condition, limitation, understanding, agreement or order is only binding on the Company or the Company Subsidiaries in the event the Closing occurs. Further, if any Action, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened) challenging or seeking to restrain, prohibit or place conditions on the consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger, or the ownership or operation by Parent, the Company or any of their

-49-

respective Subsidiaries of all or any portion of their respective businesses as presently conducted and as currently proposed to be conducted, Parent (and the Parent Subsidiaries) and the Company (and the Company Subsidiaries) shall use their reasonable best efforts to defend or contest, including through litigation or other means, any objection to, or Actions challenging, the consummation of the Transactions, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions, including the Merger.

(b)    Each of Parent and the Company shall, in connection with and without limiting the efforts referenced in Section 6.2(a) to obtain all waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations for the Transactions under the HSR Act or any other Regulatory Law, (i) cooperate in all respects, including by furnishing to the other as promptly as practicable information and assistance as the other may reasonably request, and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, including by allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions and reasonably considering in good faith comments of the other Party, (ii) promptly inform the other Party of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or any other Governmental Entity, by promptly providing copies to the other Party of any such written communications, and of any communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions and (iii) permit the other Party to review in advance any communication that it gives to, and consult with each other in advance of any in-person meeting, telephone call or other meeting or conference (whether by video or otherwise) with, the DOJ, the FTC or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent not prohibited by the DOJ, the FTC or other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other Party the reasonable opportunity to attend and participate thereat; provided, however, that materials required to be provided pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) - (iii) may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of Parent, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided, further, that each of Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 6.2(b) as “Outside Counsel Only Material” which such material and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside antitrust counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (Parent on the one hand or the Company on the other) or its legal counsel. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall be entitled to lead the strategy and course of action for seeking and obtaining all waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations for the Transactions under the HSR Act or any other Regulatory Law, including but not limited to directing and unilaterally determining (i) any decision to pull and refile any Governmental Filing or voluntarily extend any waiting period or review period under the HSR Act or any other applicable Regulatory Law and (ii) any decision to enter into, and the contents of, any agreement (including a timing agreement) with any Governmental Entity to delay and not to consummate the

-50-

Transactions, provided, that (x) at the time of entry into any timing or similar agreement, the term thereof would not reasonably be expected to extend beyond such time as would allow the parties sufficient time to consummate the Closing prior to the Outside Date and (y) in doing so it must act reasonably and must consider in good faith the views of the Company.

(c)    In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, in the event that Parent requests the Company to do so, the Company shall give any notices to third parties required under Contracts, and the Company shall use, and cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party consents to any Contracts that are necessary to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any consent or other similar fee, payment or consideration, make any other concession or provide any additional security (including a guaranty), or amend or modify any Contract, to obtain such third party consents (except, in the case of the Company, if requested by Parent and either (i) reimbursed or indemnified for by Parent or (ii) subject to the occurrence of the Closing).

Section 6.3.    Publicity. From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.1, neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement or disclosure with respect to the Merger, the other Transactions or this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless such Party determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national securities exchange or trading market to issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement or disclosure with respect to the Merger, the other Transactions or this Agreement, in which event such Party shall endeavor, on a basis reasonable under the circumstances, to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other Party to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement or disclosure in advance and shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto; provided, however, that the Company and Parent shall be permitted to issue press releases or make public announcements or disclosure (i) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or from and after a Change of Recommendation, subject to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.2, or (ii) with respect to any litigation between the Parties relating to this Agreement; provided, further, that each Party and their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives may make statements that are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent or the Company in compliance with this Section 6.3 or make statements regarding the actual or expected financial impact (including earnings guidance) of this Agreement or the Transactions on such Party.

(a)    For six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each past and present director, officer and employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary and each Person who served as a director, officer, member, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses prior to the final disposition of any

-51-

actual or threatened claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and the Company Governing Documents; provided that such Indemnified Party agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, nonappealable judgment that such Indemnified Party is not ultimately entitled), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, investigation, suit or proceeding in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in connection with such Person serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or of any other Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and the Company Governing Documents or the organizational documents of the applicable Company Subsidiary (as applicable) or any indemnification agreements with such Person in existence on the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all rights to elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in the Company’s or the Company Subsidiaries’ respective certificate of incorporation, certificate(s) of change of name (if any), certificate(s) of merger (if any), memorandum and articles of association or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) or in any indemnification agreement of the Company or a Company Subsidiary with any Indemnified Party in existence on the date of this Agreement shall survive the Transactions, including the Merger, and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies the Surviving Company on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person intends in good faith to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.4, the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

(b)    For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) the Company Governing Documents and (ii) any indemnification agreement of the Company or a Company Subsidiary with any Indemnified Party in existence on the date of this Agreement, except to the extent that such agreement provides for an earlier termination, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date hereof, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions).

(c)    At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a six (6)-year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms substantially equivalent to the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however,

-52-

that the Company shall not commit or spend on such “tail” policy, in the aggregate, more than three hundred percent (300%) of the last aggregate annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof for the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if the cost of such “tail” policy would otherwise exceed the Base Amount, the Company shall be permitted to purchase only as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Base Amount. The Company shall in good faith consult with Parent prior to the Closing with respect to the procurement of such “tail” policy, including with respect to the selection of the broker, available policy price and coverage options.

(d)    In the event Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.4. The rights and obligations under this Section 6.4 shall survive consummation of the Merger and shall not be terminated or amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.4, each of whom may enforce the provisions thereof. Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 6.4. The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Parties have under any organizational documents of the Company or any Company Subsidiary.

Section 6.5.    Takeover Statutes. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Merger or any of the other Transactions and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary so that the Merger and the other Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute on the Merger and the other Transactions. No Change of Recommendation shall change, or be deemed to change, or permit the Company or the Company Board of Directors to change, in any manner or respect, the approval of the Company Board of Directors for purposes of causing any Takeover Statute to be inapplicable to the Merger or any of the other Transactions.

Section 6.6.    Obligations of Merger Sub and Parent. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any violation of the obligations of Merger Sub under this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by Parent. Immediately after the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall deliver to the Company evidence of the adoption of this Agreement by Parent, in its capacity as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub, and the consent effecting such adoption shall not be modified or withdrawn after the entry into this Agreement.

Section 6.7.    Employee Matters.

(a)    Effective as of the Effective Time and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide or shall cause to be provided to each employee of the Company and Company Subsidiary who continues to be employed by Parent or any Subsidiary thereof (the “Continuing Employees”), (i) a base salary or hourly wage rate and short-term (annual or more frequent) cash bonus or commission opportunities that are no less favorable in the aggregate than the base salary or hourly wage rate and short-term (annual or more frequent) cash bonus or commission opportunities, as applicable, as provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that during the Continuation Period, Parent shall provide or shall cause to be provided to such Continuing Employee a base salary or hourly wage rate, as applicable, that is no less favorable than that provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) long-term incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than the long-term incentive compensation opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that in lieu of equity or equity-based compensation, Parent may elect to substitute cash incentive compensation of equivalent value, and (iii) benefits (excluding retention, change in control, defined benefit pension and post-retirement welfare payments or benefits) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to such Continuing Employee than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries, provided that providing for such Continuing Employee to continue to participate in Company Benefit Plans as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall satisfy this clause (iii) (it being understood that participation in the Parent benefit plans may commence at different times with respect to each Parent benefit plan as determined by Parent in its sole discretion), and provided further that during the Continuation Period, the medical, dental, vision and other health benefits provided to such Continuing Employee shall be no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, provide to each Continuing Employee who is terminated by Parent, the Company or any Company Subsidiary other than for cause during the Continuation Period the severance payments and benefits as set forth on Section 6.7(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter, taking into account the Continuing Employee’s service prior the Effective Time in accordance with Section 6.7(e) and after the Effective Time through the date of termination and without giving effect to any reductions in compensation occurring at or after the Effective Time.

(b)    Parent shall, or shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, honor all Company Benefit Plans (including all severance, change of control and similar plans and agreements) to Continuing Employees in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall, and shall cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, honor the Company’s retention program providing for retention payments to certain individuals set forth on Section 6.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter in connection with the provision of services relating to the Merger to such individuals and on the terms as set forth on Section 6.7(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Retention Program”). Following the Effective Time, Parent, the Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries shall pay or cause to be paid such retention payments pursuant to the terms of the Retention Program.

-54-

(c)    Parent agrees to, and agrees to cause the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to, pay bonuses to Continuing Employees under the Company’s annual incentive plan in respect of the fiscal year in which the Effective Time occurs in an amount equal to the annual incentive award earned by such Continuing Employee based on the actual level of performance for the applicable fiscal year through the latest practicable date prior to the Effective Time as determined by the Compensation and Talent Committee of the Company Board of Directors in good faith and consistent with such annual incentive plan, as multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days elapsed during the applicable fiscal year through and including the date of the Effective Time and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the fiscal year in which the Effective Time occurs (the “Prorated Annual Bonuses”). The Prorated Annual Bonuses shall be paid by Parent, the Company or the Company Subsidiaries at the time or times that the Prorated Annual Bonuses would normally be paid by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, subject to such Continuing Employee’s continued employment through the date that Prorated Annual Bonuses are paid; provided, however, that any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated on or following the Closing Date and prior to the Prorated Annual Bonus payment date under circumstances that entitle such employee to severance and/or equity award vesting shall be entitled to receive his or her Prorated Annual Bonus, payable as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of such termination of employment.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to any Continuing Employees who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or other agreement with a Union, Parent’s obligations under this Section 6.7 shall be in addition to, and not in contravention of, any obligations under the applicable collective bargaining agreement or Union agreement or applicable Law.

(e)    For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and the Parent Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service or with respect to benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan. For purposes of each New Plan providing health or welfare benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent or its applicable Subsidiary shall (i) waive or cause all preexisting condition exclusions or limitations and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents to the extent that such exclusions or limitations and waiting periods would not apply under a similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan in which such employee participated prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to cause such Continuing Employee to be given credit under such New Plan for all amounts paid by such Continuing Employee under any similar or comparable Company Benefit Plan for the plan year that includes the Effective Time for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plans maintained by Parent or any Parent Subsidiary, as applicable, for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.

-55-

(f)    If, at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, Parent provides written notice to the Company directing the Company to terminate its 401(k) plan(s), the Company shall terminate any and all 401(k) plans effective as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Effective Time occurs (the “401(k) Termination Date”). In the event that Parent requests that such 401(k) plan(s) be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors at least two (2) Business Days prior to the day on which the Effective Time occurs; provided that, prior to terminating the Company’s 401(k) plan, the Company shall provide Parent with the form and substance of any applicable resolutions or amendments for review and comment and the Company shall consider in good faith any comments promptly received from Parent. If the Company 401(k) plan is terminated pursuant to this Section 6.7(f), then on the Closing Date (such that there is no gap in 401(k) plan participation), Parent shall permit all Continuing Employees who were eligible to participate in any of the Company’s 401(k) plan(s) immediately prior to the 401(k) Termination Date to participate in Parent’s 401(k) plan and shall permit each such Continuing Employee to elect to transfer his or her account balance when distributed from the terminated Company 401(k) plan(s), including any outstanding participant loans, to Parent’s 401(k) plan.

(g)    Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent or any affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent or any affiliate of Parent, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between Parent, the Company or any affiliate of Parent and the Continuing Employee or any severance, benefit or other applicable plan or program covering such Continuing Employee. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 6.7 or otherwise in this Agreement shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment, termination, adoption or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan of Parent, Merger Sub or any affiliate thereof, (ii) alter or limit the ability of Parent to amend, modify or terminate any Company Benefit Plan or any other benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, or (iii) create any third party rights in any current or former employee or other service provider (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof) of Parent, the Company or its affiliates.

Section 6.8.    Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall, as applicable, take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.9.    Shareholder Litigation. The Company shall provide Parent prompt notice (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours of the Company having Knowledge of any such litigation) of any litigation brought by any shareholder of the Company or purported shareholder of the Company against the Company, any of the Company Subsidiaries and/or any of their respective directors or officers relating to the Merger or any of the other Transactions or this Agreement, and shall keep Parent informed on a prompt (and in any event within forty-eight (48)

-56-

hours of any development or update) and timely basis with respect to the status thereof. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate (at Parent’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any such litigation and reasonably cooperate with Parent in conducting the defense or settlement of such litigation (provided, that the Company shall in any event control such defense and/or settlement), and no such settlement shall be agreed without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In the event of, and to the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 6.9 and Section 5.1 or Section 6.2, the provisions of this Section 6.9 shall control.

Section 6.10.    Delisting. Each of the Parties agrees to cooperate with the other Parties in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary to delist the Company Ordinary Shares from the NYSE and terminate its registration under the Exchange Act; provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until at or after the Effective Time.

Section 6.11.    Director Resignations. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent resignations executed by each director of the Company in office as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and effective upon the Effective Time. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (a) cause to be delivered to Parent resignations executed by each director of the Company Foundations in office as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and effective upon the Effective Time, and (b) take such actions as reasonably requested by Parent to appoint the individuals designated in writing by Parent to the board of directors of the Company Foundations with effect upon the Effective Time.

Section 6.12.    Financing.

(a)    Parent shall, and shall cause each Parent Subsidiary to, use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or advisable to obtain funds sufficient to fund the Financing Amounts on or prior to the date on which the Merger is required to be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof, which may include the issuance and sale of senior unsecured notes and/or the entry into a committed term loan facility (any such (1) notes that have been funded and are not subject to an escrow arrangement, (2) notes that are subject to an escrow agreement, which shall have conditions to funding not less favorable than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof and (3) committed term loan facility, which shall have conditions to funding not less favorable than those set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof, collectively, the “Replacement Financing”)). In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or advisable to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter on or prior to the date on which the Merger is required to be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof, including by (i) maintaining in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (ii) negotiating and entering into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in any related fee letter) or with other terms agreed by Parent and the Financing Parties provided that the conditions to the consummation thereof are not more onerous than the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof, without any Prohibited Modification, (iii) satisfying (or obtaining the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions

-57-

in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Definitive Agreements that are in Parent’s of any Parent Subsidiary’s control and complying with its obligations thereunder and (iv) enforcing its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter. Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, as the same shall become due and payable, all fees and other amounts under the Debt Commitment Letter and Definitive Agreements.

(b)    Parent or any Parent Subsidiary may (i) amend, modify, replace, assign or agree to any waiver under the Debt Commitment Letter or any Definitive Agreements without the prior written approval of the Company, provided, that neither Parent nor any Parent Subsidiary shall, without the prior written consent of the Company (except if Parent has available sufficient cash on hand or cash from other funding sources pursuant to a Replacement Financing to fund the Financing Amounts) permit, consent to or agree to any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to, or any waiver of, any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements if such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification, waiver or remedy (A) adds new (or adversely modifies any existing) conditions to the consummation of all or any portion of the Debt Financing, (B) reduces the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Financing unless the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing following such reduction, together with cash on hand and cash available to Parent pursuant to a Replacement Financing, is sufficient to consummate the Merger and pay the other Financing Amounts (it being understood that any mandatory commitment reduction due to obtaining net proceeds of a debt or equity issuance, entry into a limited condition bank loan or obtaining net proceeds of certain asset sales in accordance with the terms of such Debt Commitment Letter (a “Replacement Financing Reduction”) shall be permitted), (C) adversely affects the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified or (D) would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the effects described in clauses (A) through (D), collectively, the “Prohibited Modifications”); provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent or any Parent Subsidiary may modify, supplement or amend the Debt Commitment Letter to (1) add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement and (2) implement or exercise any “market flex” provisions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or (ii) terminate the Debt Commitment Letter or any Definitive Agreement only if it has obtained Replacement Financing with net proceeds that, together with cash on hand, is sufficient to pay the Financing Amounts. In the event that new commitment letters and/or fee letters are entered into in accordance with any amendment, replacement, supplement, termination or other modification of the Debt Commitment Letter permitted pursuant to this Section 6.12, such new commitment letters and/or fee letters shall be deemed to be the “Debt Commitment Letter” for all purposes of this Agreement and references to “Debt Financing” herein shall include and mean the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, as applicable. Parent shall promptly deliver to the Company copies of any amendment, replacement, supplement, termination, modification, waiver or replacement of the Debt Commitment Letter and/or any Definitive Agreement.

(c)    In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable (other than in connection with a Replacement Financing Reduction), Parent shall (i) promptly as practicable notify the Company in writing of such unavailability and the reason therefor and

-58-

(ii) unless Parent has available sufficient cash on hand or cash from other funding sources pursuant to a Replacement Financing to fund the Financing Amounts, use reasonable best efforts, and cause each Parent Subsidiary to use their reasonable best efforts, to arrange and obtain, as reasonably promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative financing (on terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable to Parent and/or any Parent Subsidiary, taken as a whole, than the terms and conditions as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, taking into account any “market flex” provisions thereof) for any such unavailable portion from the same or alternative sources (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient, when taken together with the available portion of the Debt Financing, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay the Financing Amounts and, without limiting the foregoing, shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Alternative Financing to not include any Prohibited Modifications or conditions to the consummation thereof that are more onerous than those set forth in Debt Commitment Letter as of the date hereof. Promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, Parent shall provide the Company with written notice of any actual or threatened breach, default, cancellation, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any Definitive Agreement and a copy of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender or other financing source with respect to any actual or threatened breach, default, cancellation, termination or repudiation by any party to the Debt Commitment Letter or any Definitive Agreement of any provision thereof. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a timely basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Debt Financing, including any Alternative Financing.

(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance by Parent with this Section 6.12(d) (or any other provision of this Agreement) shall not relieve Parent of its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Debt Financing or any Alternative Financing is available. To the extent Parent obtains Alternative Financing or amends, replaces, supplements, terminates, modifies or waives any of the Debt Financing, in each case pursuant to this Section 6.12 and without any Prohibited Modification, references to the “Debt Financing,” “Debt Commitment Letters” and “Definitive Agreements” (and other like terms in this Agreement) shall be deemed to refer to such Alternative Financing, the commitments thereunder and the agreements with respect thereto, or the Debt Financing as so amended, replaced, supplemented, terminated, modified or waived.

Section 6.13.    Financing Cooperation.

(a)    Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause the Company Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts, and shall use its reasonable best efforts, to cause its and their respective Representatives to, provide all customary cooperation and all customary financial information, in each case that is reasonably requested by Parent in connection with any financing, including the Debt Financing, obtained or to be obtained by Parent for the purpose of financing the Transactions or any transaction undertaken in connection therewith (it being understood that the receipt of any such financing is not a condition to the Merger), including by using reasonable best efforts to:

reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions (including accounting due diligence sessions), drafting sessions, and sessions with rating agencies, in each case, upon reasonable notice and at mutually agreeable dates and times, which sessions meetings, presentations, road shows and sessions shall be telephonic or held by video conference;

(v)    deliver to Parent, no later than four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, any materials and documentation about the Company and the Company Subsidiaries required under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering Laws (including the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001), to the extent requested by Parent no less than nine (9) Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(vii)    cooperate with respect to the provision of guarantees required by such financing, including by executing and delivering definitive documents related thereto, it being understood that the effectiveness of any such guarantees shall be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing; and

(viii)    provide customary authorization letters to the Financing Parties authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors and containing a representation that the public side versions of such documents, if any, do not include material non-public information about the Company or the Company Subsidiaries (only to the extent such authorization letters contain customary disclaimers for the Company, its affiliates and their respective Representatives with respect to responsibility for the use or misuse of the contents thereof), provided that the Company is afforded adequate time to review such authorization letters and related materials;

provided, however, that (a) no such cooperation shall be required under this Section 6.13 or Section 6.14(b) to the extent it would (i) unreasonably disrupt the conduct of the Company’s business, (ii) require the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to incur any fees, expenses or other liability prior to the Effective Time for which it is not promptly reimbursed or simultaneously indemnified, (iii) be reasonably expected to cause any director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to incur any personal liability, (iv) require the Company to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, (v) require the Company or any Company Subsidiary to provide any information that is prohibited or restricted by applicable Law or is legally privileged (provided, however, that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of Law or to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of such legal privilege), (vi) require the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any persons who are officers or directors of such entities to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution

Nothing contained in this Section 6.13 or otherwise shall require the Company or any Company Subsidiary, prior to the Effective Time, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to such financing. Parent shall, promptly upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company or any Company Subsidiary for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by them or their respective representatives in connection with such cooperation and shall reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Company Subsidiaries and their respective representatives from and against any and all losses actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of such financing, any action taken by them at the request of Parent or its representatives pursuant to this Section 6.13 and Section 6.14 and any information used in connection therewith, except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of its their respective representatives, arising from incorrect or misleading information provided by the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of its their respective representatives.

(b)    The Company hereby consents to use of all of its and the Company Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with any financing (subject to the Company having a reasonable opportunity for advance review of and consultation with respect to such use); provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is reasonable and customary for such purposes and solely in a manner that is not intended to, nor reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or the Company’s or the Company Subsidiaries’ reputation or goodwill.

(c)    In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing (including the Debt Financing) by Parent any of its affiliates or any other financing or other transactions be a condition to any of Parent’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company’s breach of any of the covenants required to be performed by it under this Section 6.13 shall not be considered in determining the satisfaction of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(b), unless such breach is the primary cause of Parent being unable to obtain the proceeds of any financing at the Closing.

(d)    All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries obtained by Parent, the Parent Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that such information may be disclosed

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to include in the Payoff Letter any proposed changes thereto that Parent reasonably requests.

(b)    Prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall consult with the Company in good faith with respect to any plans for Parent to (i) commence a tender offer, exchange offer and/or consent solicitation or change of control offer for any of the Company Notes prior to the Closing Date, the settlement of which, in each case, will be contingent on the Closing or (ii) redeem or satisfy and discharge any Company Notes, as of the Effective Time. To the extent reasonably requested by Parent, the Company shall provide reasonable and customary assistance, at Parent’s sole cost and expense, in connection therewith, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) take any actions reasonably necessary or appropriate to be taken to issue conditional redemption notices and/or conditional notices of offers to purchase the Company Notes, the redemption or repurchase of which closes at or following the Effective Time, or other documents necessary to commence a tender offer, exchange offer and/or consent solicitation or change of control offer, as the case may be, for the Company Notes and (ii) cause the applicable trustee to proceed with a tender offer, exchange offer and/or consent solicitation or change of control offer, as the case may be, for the Company Notes, and take any such action as is reasonably necessary to cause the applicable trustee and/or other applicable agent to send the notices of offers to purchase and/or redemption, consent solicitation statement and/or other documents necessary to commence such a transaction, to the holders of the Company Notes on or prior to the Closing Date, as applicable. Parent shall draft all documentation related to any tender offer, exchange offer and/or consent solicitation and shall provide advanced review and consultation to the Company and give reasonable consideration to the comments raised by the Company and its counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to give a notice of redemption that is not conditional on Closing.

(a)    In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party or Parties specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, except that the Confidentiality Agreement, the last sentence of Section 6.13(a), Section 6.13(c), Section 6.13(d), this Section 8.2 and Section 9.3 through Section 9.12 shall survive such termination; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for actual and intentional fraud or willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful breach” shall mean an action or omission taken or omitted to be taken that the breaching party intentionally takes (or fails to take) and actually knows would, or would reasonably be expected to, be or cause a material breach of this Agreement.

(b)    Termination Fee.

(i)    If (A) Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(g), or Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c), (B) prior to the date of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company Board of Directors, the Company’s management or the Company Shareholder or otherwise becomes publicly known, or any Person publicly proposes or announces an intention to make an Acquisition Proposal, and (C) within twelve (12) months of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is consummated or a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal is entered into (and such Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated), then on or prior to the date any such Acquisition Proposal is consummated, the Company shall, by way of compensation, pay to Parent a fee of $240,000,000 in cash (the “Termination Fee”). Solely for purposes of this Section 8.2(b)(i), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Annex A, except that all references to “twenty” percent (20%)” and “eighty percent (80%)” therein shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%).”

(ii)    If (x) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e), within two (2) Business Days after such termination, the Company shall, by way of compensation, pay to Parent the Termination Fee.

(iii)    If the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h), the Company shall, by way of compensation, pay to Parent the Termination Fee prior to or concurrently with and as a condition of its termination pursuant to Section 8.1(h).

-69-

(c)    Company Expense Reimbursement. Parent shall reimburse the Company on an indemnity basis (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) for its reasonable and documented costs and expenses, including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions and the fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, investment bankers, experts and consultants, incurred by the Company in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (but excluding any success-based fees payable upon the consummation of the Transactions) in an amount not to exceed the Reimbursement Cap in the aggregate (the “Company Expenses”) in the event that: (i) (A) the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(f) or (B) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(f) at a time when the Agreement is terminable by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d) or Section 8.1(f), and (ii) in the event of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d), at the time of such termination, all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (or, if any such conditions are by their nature to be satisfied at the Closing, would have been capable of being satisfied on the date of such termination) or waived other than the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(b) and/or Section 7.1(c).

(d)    Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Each Party further acknowledges that the Termination Fee and the Company Expenses are not a penalty, but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent and Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, in the circumstances in which the Termination Fee or the Company Expenses, as applicable, are payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions. In addition, if the Company or Parent fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.2(c), then (i) the breaching Party shall reimburse the non-breaching Party for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including disbursements and fees of counsel) incurred in the collection of such overdue amounts, including in connection with any related claims, actions or proceedings commenced and (ii) the breaching Party shall pay the non-breaching Party interest on the amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.2(c), as applicable, from and including the date payment of such amounts were due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except for the right to seek monetary damages for actual and intentional fraud (solely as it relates to the representations and warranties expressly made in Article III or Article IV) or willful breach (as defined in Section 8.2(a)) occurring prior to the valid termination of this Agreement, and without limiting the Company’s, Parent’s or Merger Sub’s right to specific performance in accordance with Section 9.12, (A) the Termination Fee and the Company Expenses (and any other amounts expressly contemplated by this Section 8.2, if any) shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy available to Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, as applicable, in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions in any circumstance in which the Termination Fee or the Company Expenses are required to be paid pursuant to this Section 8.2 and are paid by the Company or Parent, as applicable, in accordance with this Agreement, and (B) upon Parent’s or the Company’s receipt of the full Termination Fee or Company Expenses, as applicable (and any other amounts contemplated by this Section 8.2(d)), pursuant to this Section 8.2 in circumstances in which the Termination Fee or the Company Expenses are required to be paid pursuant to this Section 8.2, none of the Company, any Company Subsidiary, Parent or

-70-

any Parent Subsidiary or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, affiliates or agents shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions, except for actual and intentional fraud or willful breach (as defined in Section 8.2(a)) or any breach of the Confidentiality Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent may seek specific performance to cause the Company to consummate the Transactions in accordance with Section 9.12 and the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.2(b), but in no event shall Parent be entitled to both (i) specific performance to cause the Company to consummate the Transactions in accordance with Section 9.12 and (ii) the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may seek specific performance to cause Parent to consummate the Transactions in accordance with Section 9.12 and the payment of the Company Expenses pursuant to Section 8.2(c), but in no event shall the Company be entitled to both (i) specific performance to cause Parent to consummate the Transactions in accordance with Section 9.12 and (ii) the payment of the Company Expenses pursuant to Section 8.2(c).

(e)    

(i)    The parties intend that any payment of the Termination Fee, being compensatory in nature, shall not be treated (in whole or in part) as consideration for a taxable supply for the purposes of VAT and, accordingly, each of the Parent and the Company shall, and shall, where relevant, procure that the representative member of any VAT group of which it is a member shall (A) use reasonable best efforts to secure that any Termination Fee payable under this Section 8.2 will not be subject to any VAT and (B) pay the full amount of any such Termination Fee free and clear of any deduction or adjustment pursuant to the following Section 8.2(e)(ii).

(ii)    If:

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

(B)    a Tax authority (or, following an appeal to a court or tribunal, such court or tribunal) finally determines that any payment of the Termination Fee constitutes all or part of the consideration for a supply made for VAT purposes in

-71-

respect of which the payor of the sum (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the payor is a party) is liable to account for VAT under the reverse charge mechanism, then to the extent that any VAT chargeable on the supply is not recoverable by such payor (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the payor is a member) by way of repayment or credit as input tax, the amount of the sum shall be reduced to such amount so that the aggregate of the sum (as so reduced) and such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT equals the amount of the sum had no such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT arisen.

Such adjusting payment as may be required between the parties to give effect to this Section 8.2(e)(ii) shall be made five (5) Business Days after the date on which the determination by the Tax authority (or court or tribunal, as the case may be) has been communicated to the party required to make the adjusting payment pursuant to this Section 8.2(e)(ii) (together with such evidence of it as it is reasonable in the circumstances to provide and, where Section 8.2(e)(ii)(A) applies, together with the provision of a valid VAT invoice)) or, if later, five (5) Business Days (y) in the case of Section 8.2(e)(ii)(A) after the date on which the VAT is recovered or (z) in the case of Section 8.2(e)(ii)(B) before the date on which the irrecoverable VAT is required to be accounted for (taking into account any applicable extensions of time), provided that in the case of Section 8.2(e)(ii)(B) the party making the adjusting payment has been given written notice of such date not less than fifteen (15) Business Days before.

The party paying the Termination Fee shall (or shall procure that the representative member of the VAT group of which such party is a member shall) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any available repayment or credit in respect of VAT (as referred to in this Section 8.2(e)(ii)) and for the purposes of this Section 8.2(e)(ii) the extent of such repayment or credit shall be determined by such party, or the relevant representative member of the VAT group, acting reasonably.
