NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:

1.01    Purchase and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, (i) Seller will sell and transfer to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase and acquire from Seller, all of the Shares, and with all rights attaching or accruing to the Shares as from the Closing Date, by means of the execution of the Deed of Transfer, against payment to Seller of the purchase price for the Shares, and (ii) US Seller will sell and transfer to US Purchaser, and US Purchaser will purchase and acquire from US Seller, all of the Units, and with all rights attaching or accruing to the Units as from the Closing Date, against payment to US Seller of the purchase price for the Units.

The purchase price for the Units shall be an amount equal to the Units Consideration and shall be paid as provided in Section 2.02(a). The Shares shall be for the risk and account (voor rekening en risico) of the Purchaser as of the Closing Date.

1.02    Closing Calculations. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth (a) an estimated unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group Companies as of the Reference Time, (b) Seller’s good faith estimate of each of Cash as of the Reference Time (the “Estimated Cash”), Indebtedness as of the Reference Time (the “Estimated Indebtedness”) and Net Working Capital as of the Reference Time (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), and the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment resulting therefrom, and (c) the Closing Consideration. The Estimated Closing Statement and the determinations contained therein shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement. After delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, Purchaser and its accountants and other representatives shall be permitted access at reasonable times upon reasonable advance notice to review Seller’s and the Group Companies’ books and records and any work papers solely to the extent related to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement. Seller shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments from Purchaser to ensure that the items set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement conform with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that in no event shall any dispute relating thereto delay or prevent the Closing for more than three (3) Business Days. The Parties shall use best efforts to resolve any reasonable comments from Purchaser as expeditiously as possible.

1.03    Final Closing Balance Sheet Calculation. As promptly as practicable but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller (a) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Group Companies as of the Reference Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), and (b) a statement showing the Cash, Indebtedness and Net Working Capital and the Closing Net Working Capital Adjustment resulting therefrom, in each case, as of the Reference Time, and the calculation of the Final Consideration resulting therefrom, each of which shall be completed in good faith (the “Closing Statement”), together with all relevant supporting documentation. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared, and Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and the Final Consideration shall be determined, in accordance with the Accounting Principles and this Agreement. The Parties agree that the purpose of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and determining Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital, the Final Consideration and the related purchase price adjustment contemplated by this Section 1.03 is to measure the amount of Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and the Final Consideration as of the Reference Time in accordance with this Agreement, and such processes are not intended to permit the introduction of different or additional judgments, accounting methods, policies, principles, practices, procedures, classifications or estimation methodologies, in each case other than those required by the Accounting Principles or this Agreement, for the purpose of preparing the Closing Balance Sheet or determining Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and the Final Consideration. The Closing Statement will entirely disregard (i) any and all effects on the Group Companies (including the assets and liabilities of the Group Companies) as a result of or following the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (other than those relating to Transaction Expenses) or any financing or

refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by Purchaser or its Affiliates or any other transaction entered into by Purchaser or its Affiliates in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) any of the plans, transactions, fundings, payments or changes that Purchaser or its Affiliates initiates or makes or causes to be initiated or made after the Closing with respect to the Group Companies or their respective businesses or assets, or any facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to Purchaser or its Affiliates or any of their respective assets or liabilities. After delivery of the Closing Statement, Seller and its accountants and other representatives shall be permitted reasonable access at reasonable times to review Purchaser’s and the Group Companies’ books and records and any work papers related to the preparation of the Closing Statement or Closing Balance Sheet. Seller and its accountants and other representatives may make inquiries of Purchaser, the Group Companies and their respective accountants and employees regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Closing Statement or Closing Balance Sheet arising in the course of their review thereof, and Purchaser shall use its, and shall cause the Group Companies to use their, reasonable best efforts to cause any such accountants and employees to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. If Seller has any objections to the Closing Statement or Closing Balance Sheet, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days following the date of delivery of the Closing Statement, the Closing Statement shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties. If an Objections Statement is delivered to Purchaser within forty-five (45) days following the date of delivery of the Closing Statement, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement, Seller and Purchaser shall, unless Seller and Purchaser otherwise agree, submit such dispute to the Boston office of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or another nationally recognized independent accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and Seller (the “Dispute Resolution Arbiter”). All submissions of documents or information to the Dispute Resolution Arbiter shall be in writing and the Party making such submissions shall concurrently deliver a copy thereof to the other Party. The Dispute Resolution Arbiter shall consider only those items and amounts that are identified in the Objections Statement as being items that Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve. The Dispute Resolution Arbiter’s determination shall be based solely on the definitions of Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and the Final Consideration contained in this Agreement, including this Section 1.03. Seller and Purchaser shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Dispute Resolution Arbiter to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable in amounts that are the same as one of, or between, the disputed amounts set forth in the Closing Statement and the Objections Statement. Further, the Dispute Resolution Arbiter’s determination shall be based solely on the submissions by Purchaser and Seller that are in accordance with the terms and procedures set forth in this Agreement and not on the basis of an independent review. The Dispute Resolution Arbiter shall not attribute a value to any single disputed amount that is greater than the highest value proposed by the Parties in respect of such disputed amount or a value that is less than the lowest amount proposed by the Parties in respect of such disputed amount. The resolution of the dispute by the Dispute Resolution Arbiter shall be final and binding on and non-appealable by the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Dispute Resolution Arbiter shall be allocated between Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, based upon the percentage that the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party. For purpose of illustration, if

Seller claims Net Working Capital is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by Purchaser, and Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by Seller, and if the Dispute Resolution Arbiter ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Seller $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of arbitration shall be allocated sixty percent (60%) (i.e., 300 ± 500) to Purchaser and forty percent (40%) (i.e., 200 ± 500) to Seller.

1.04    Post-Closing Adjustment Payment.

(a)    If the Final Consideration (as determined in accordance with Section 1.03) is less than the Closing Consideration, then Purchaser and Seller shall, promptly but in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Consideration, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser from the Escrow Fund an amount equal to the absolute value of such difference in accordance with Section 1.04(c) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Purchaser.

(b)    If the Final Consideration (as determined in accordance with Section 1.03) is greater than the Closing Consideration, then Purchaser shall, promptly but in any event within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Consideration, pay to Seller the absolute value of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Seller.

(c)    In the event that the adjustment contemplated by Section 1.04(a) results in amounts owed by Seller to Purchaser, then, in such event, such payments shall be satisfied solely by release to Purchaser of such amounts from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In the event that the amounts owed by Seller pursuant to Section 1.04(a) exceed the amount of the Escrow Fund, no further payment shall be owed by Seller. In the event that the adjustment contemplated by Section 1.04(b) results in amounts owed by Purchaser to Seller, such amount shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller. Promptly following the determination of the Final Consideration, and any payments made pursuant to this Section 1.04, if there are any amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund, then Purchaser and Seller shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to pay to Seller such remaining amounts by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall not have any liability for any amounts due pursuant to Section 1.03 or this Section 1.04 except to the extent of the funds available in the Escrow Fund.

(d)    All payments required to be made pursuant to Section 1.04(a) and Section 1.04(b) will be deemed to be and shall be treated as adjustments for Tax purposes to the aggregate purchase price paid by Purchaser for the Shares purchased by it pursuant to this Agreement, unless otherwise required by Law.

1.05    Reference Statement. Exhibit A hereto sets forth an illustrative statement prepared by Seller in cooperation with Purchaser setting forth the line items used (or to be used) in, and illustrating as of the date set forth therein, the calculation of Cash, Indebtedness and Net Working Capital prepared and calculated in accordance with this Agreement.

1.06    Withholding. Purchaser and US Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment made pursuant to this Agreement, directly or indirectly, to any employee or service provider of the Group Companies, such amount as is required to be deducted and withheld pursuant to any applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Entities, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.01    The Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of NautaDutilh N.V. located at Strawinskylaan 1999 1077 XV, Amsterdam, the Netherlands on the second Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in Article VII hereof (other than those closing conditions to be satisfied at the Closing itself, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such closing conditions) or on such other date and/or time as is mutually agreed to in writing by Purchaser and Seller; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or the satisfaction and waiver of all of the closing conditions set forth in Article VII, the Closing shall not occur prior to May 27, 2016 without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

extent such payment would cause any payment not to be deductible pursuant to Section 280G of the Code. Such waivers shall cease to have any force or effect with respect to any item covered thereby to the extent the 280G Shareholder Vote for such item is obtained. Seller shall provide to Purchaser a copy of such waiver and any materials to be distributed to its shareholders pursuant to this Section 5.09 within a reasonable period of time prior to distribution to the disqualified individual or to the shareholders, as applicable, and such materials shall be subject to the prior review and comment of Purchaser. The Seller shall in good faith reflect in such waiver or shareholder materials any changes reasonably requested by Purchaser or its representatives.

with respect to the Debt Financing or adopt any resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained. The Group Companies hereby consent to the use of their logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to, or reasonably likely to, harm or disparage the Group Companies.

Financing, except in the event such Liabilities arose out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller, US Seller or their respective Subsidiaries.

(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions contained in this Section 5.10, represent the sole obligation of the Group Companies and their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other representatives with respect to cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing.

Purchaser shall cause the Group Companies to reimburse Seller and US Seller for all of their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the foregoing. All recoveries in respect of such claims, to the extent they satisfy a claim against or loss to Group Companies shall be for the account of Group Companies, Purchaser and US Purchaser. The foregoing provision shall be interpreted in a manner that will maximize the transfer or vesting of rights of Group Companies to such insurance coverage.

Purchaser and US Purchaser shall promptly, following written request by Seller, reimburse Seller for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Seller or any of the Group Companies in connection with the cooperation of Seller and the Group Companies contemplated by this Section 5.12(d).

From and after the Closing until the seven (7) year anniversary of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and effective as of the Closing, shall cause the Group Companies to, provide Seller and its authorized representatives with reasonable access (including for the purpose of examining), during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance written notice, to the books and records of the Group Companies with respect to periods or occurrences prior to or on the Closing Date, solely to the extent that Seller has a bona fide need to access such books and records to prepare financial statements of Seller or its applicable

Affiliates or with respect to any Tax audits, Tax Returns, insurance claims or other governmental investigations, and in each case, solely to the extent necessary to address such bona fide need and subject to confidentiality restrictions reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall, and effective as of the Closing, shall cause the Group Companies to, provide Seller and its authorized representatives the transition services set forth on Schedule 6.01 hereto for the duration specified therein; provided, the provision of such transition services do not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Group Companies; provided, further that Seller shall promptly, following written request by Purchaser, reimburse Purchaser for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Purchaser.

6.02    Notification. From the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, if after the date of this Agreement Purchaser has knowledge of any fact or condition that constitutes a breach of any representation or warranty made in Article IV or any covenant that, in each case, would cause the conditions set forth in Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.02(b), as applicable, not to be satisfied as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall promptly disclose to Seller such breach as promptly as practicable following the date on which Purchaser obtained such knowledge.

6.03    Indemnification of Officers and Directors of the Company.

(a)    From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall cause each Group Company to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, honor the obligations of the Group Companies to indemnify, defend and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to, each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Closing, an officer, director, manager or employee of a Group Company (each, a “D&O Indemnified Party”), against all losses, claims, damages, costs, expenses, Liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement of or in connection with any claim, Action, suit, proceeding or investigation based in whole or in part on or arising in whole or in part out of the fact that such Person is or was an officer,

director, manager or employee of a Group Company, and pertaining to any matter existing or occurring, or any acts or omissions occurring, at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, or at or after, the Closing (including matters, acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) to the same extent that such Persons are indemnified or have the right to advancement of expenses as of the date hereof pursuant to the respective organizational documents of any Group Company or pursuant to the indemnification agreements to which such Persons are a party, if any, in existence on the date hereof and as set forth on Schedule 6.03(a).

(b)    For a period of six (6) years after the Closing and at all times subject to applicable Law, Purchaser shall not (and shall not cause or permit any Group Company or any of Purchaser’s other Subsidiaries or Affiliates to) amend or modify in any way adverse to the D&O Indemnified Parties, or to the beneficiaries thereof, the exculpation and indemnification provisions set forth in the organizational documents of the Group Companies.

(c)    Prior to the Closing Seller shall purchase (at Purchaser’s expense, not to exceed $100,000) a six (6) year “tail” prepaid and noncancellable directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, effective as of the Closing, providing for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, substantially similar coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are no less advantageous to the insured, than the comparable policy(ies) currently maintained by the Group Companies, US Seller and/or Seller. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall (and/or shall cause the Group Companies to) continue to honor its obligations under any such insurance procured pursuant to this Section 6.03(c), and shall not cancel (or permit to be canceled) or take (or cause to be taken) any action or omission that would reasonably be expected to result in the cancellation thereof. In the event of any covered matters or noticeable circumstances thereunder, Seller, US Seller, Purchaser and US Purchaser shall cooperate in order to allow access to that tail coverage by the Group Companies and their insureds.

(d)    Purchaser shall cause the Group Companies to pay, all expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the D&O Indemnified Parties, if successful, in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 6.03.

(e)    If Purchaser or any of its successors or permitted assigns proposes to (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and Purchaser shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each case, proper provision shall be made prior to or concurrently with the consummation of such transaction so that the successors and assigns of Purchaser shall, from and after the consummation of such transaction, honor the indemnification and other obligations set forth in this Section 6.03.

(f)    With respect to any indemnification obligations of the Group Companies pursuant to this Section 6.03, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that each of the Group Companies’ indemnification and advancement obligations pursuant to this Section

6.03 to an applicable D&O Indemnified Party are primary to any such obligation of Seller or U.S. Seller, whose obligations to such D&O Indemnified Party shall be secondary.

(g)    The provisions of this Section 6.03 shall survive the transactions contemplated hereby and (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Party and his or her successors, heirs and representatives and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Purchaser and the Group Companies and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by Contract or otherwise.

6.04    Efforts to Consummate.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, from the date hereof until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement and the Closing Date, each of Purchaser and US Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or

advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the satisfaction, but not waiver, of the Closing conditions set forth in Article VII). The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing contained in this Section 6.04 shall limit, expand or otherwise modify in any way any efforts standard explicitly applicable to any of Purchaser’s or US Purchaser’ obligations under this Agreement.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser and US Purchaser shall, promptly after the date hereof and with Seller’s and US Seller’s reasonable cooperation and assistance, make or cause to be made all filings and submissions required to be made, if any, with applicable Governmental Entities, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein. In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, Purchaser, US Purchaser, Seller and US Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, promptly respond to any requests for additional information, including requests for production of documents and production of witnesses for interviews or depositions by any Governmental Entities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser, US Purchaser, Seller and US Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith with any Governmental Entities and undertake promptly any and all reasonable action required to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement expeditiously and lawfully. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a suit or other Action is threatened or instituted by any Governmental Entity or any other entity challenging the validity or legality or seeking to restrain the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of Purchaser, US Purchaser, Seller and US Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to avoid, resist, resolve or, if necessary, defend such suit or Action. Purchaser, US Purchaser, Seller and US Seller shall diligently assist and cooperate with one another in preparing and filing any and all written, material communications that are to be submitted to any Governmental Entities in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in obtaining any governmental or third party consents, waivers, authorizations or approvals that may be required to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, which

Neither Purchaser or US Purchaser, on the one hand, nor Seller or US Seller, on the other hand, shall initiate, or participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Entity with respect to any filings, applications, investigation, or other inquiry regarding transactions contemplated by this Agreement without giving the other Party reasonable prior notice of the meeting or discussion and, unless prohibited by the relevant Governmental Entity, the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion.

6.05    Contact with Certain Person. From the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Purchaser and US Purchaser shall not, and shall cause their Affiliates and the Purchaser’s Representatives not to, contact or communicate with any current employees, customers, service providers or vendors of any Group Company (other than communications in the ordinary course of business with current or prospective customers, service providers or vendors of Purchaser, US Purchaser and their Affiliates) without prior consultation with, and the prior written approval of, Walter Scott, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

6.06    Employee Matters.

(a)    For purposes of eligibility, vesting, level of benefits and benefit accrual under any employee benefit plans (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA, whether or not subject to ERISA), programs, human resources or other policies, contracts, fringe benefits, or arrangements (whether written or unwritten) of Purchaser or its Affiliates, and for any other service-related entitlements, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall give each employee of the Group Companies who remains employed with any of the Group Companies as of the Closing Date (each, a “Continuing Employee”) full credit for such Continuing Employee’s service with Seller and its Affiliates (as well as service with any predecessor employer, to the extent service with the predecessor employer is recognized by the Employee Benefit Plans immediately prior to the Closing Date) to the same extent recognized by Seller or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent that such credit would result in duplication of benefits and except that benefit accrual will not be provided under any defined benefit pension plan. Seller and US Seller shall cooperate with, and take such actions as reasonably requested by Purchaser or US Purchaser, to amend, terminate, merge, freeze or otherwise modify any and all Employee

Benefit plans including, if requested by Purchaser, terminating all Employee Plans intended to include a Code Section 401(k).

(b)    With respect to any Continuing Employee whose employment is terminated by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates within the one (1) year period immediately following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide, or shall cause its Affiliates to provide, severance benefits to such Continuing Employee in exchange for a general release, which shall be determined and payable in accordance with either (i) the severance benefit plan or agreement maintained by Seller or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date (if and only if such plan or agreement was made available to Purchaser prior to the Closing) or (ii) the severance benefit plan maintained for similarly situated employees of Purchaser and its Affiliates at the time of such Continuing Employee’s termination of employment, whichever is more favorable to the Continuing Employee, in each case taking into account all service with Seller, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates in determining eligibility for severance benefits and the amount of severance benefits payable.

(c)    This Section 6.06 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties; nothing in this Section 6.06, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any other person any rights or remedies of any nature whatever; and no provision of this Section 6.06 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any current or former employee, officer or director of the Group Companies in respect of continued employment or any other matter. This Section 6.06 shall not be considered, or deemed to be, an amendment to any Employee Benefit Plan or any compensation or benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. Nothing in this Section 6.06 shall obligate Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Group Companies) to continue to employ any Continuing Employee for any specific period of time following the Closing Date.

6.07    Purchaser’s Solvency. If Purchaser is obtaining financing from a third party in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Seller copies of any solvency opinions or similar materials obtained by Purchaser from third parties in connection with the financing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to the extent contractually permitted by the issuer of such opinion. Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Persons issuing any such solvency opinions to allow Seller to rely thereon.

6.08    R&W Insurance Policy. At or before Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and bind the R&W Insurance Policy. The R&W Insurance Policy shall provide that the insurer shall waive and not pursue any subrogation rights against Seller or US Seller, except in instances of actual fraud. From and after the date hereof until Closing, Seller shall cause the Group Companies to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser (at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense) in its efforts to obtain the R&W Insurance Policy, including by providing reasonable information and reasonable access to executive personnel and advisors of the Group Companies as may be reasonably requested by any insurance broker or insurance carrier in connection therewith.

6.09    Financing.

(a)    Prior to the Closing, US Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and obtain the Debt Financing and the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letters and Equity Commitment Letters, respectively, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letters and Equity Commitment Letters, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Commitment Letters on the terms and subject to the conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters or on other terms acceptable to US Purchaser that would not reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the funding of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date, (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions applicable to US Purchaser that are within its control in order for US Purchaser to obtain, upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, the Equity Financing set forth in the Equity Commitment Letters and the Debt Financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters, as applicable, (iv) cause the Debt Financing Sources to fund the Debt Financing on the Closing Date in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letters upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01, and (v) cause the Equity Financing Sources to fund the Equity Financing on the Closing Date in accordance with the Equity Commitment Letters upon the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7.01.

(b)    US Purchaser shall give the Seller prompt written notice of (i) any actual breach of, or repudiation or termination of any portion of, the Financing Commitment Letters of which US Purchaser becomes aware, (ii) the occurrence of any event or circumstance of which Purchaser becomes aware which would cause any portion of the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing to become unavailable as a result of the failure of a condition precedent to the funding thereof, and (iii) the receipt, on or prior to the Closing Date, of any notice or other communication in writing from any Financing Source, as applicable, with respect to (x) any actual breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing Commitment Letter and (y) any material dispute or disagreement (other than with respect to ordinary course negotiations) between or among any parties to any Financing Commitment Letter. If any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in any Debt Commitment Letter, US Purchaser shall, as promptly as practicable, use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources on terms that are no less favorable to US Purchaser than the terms contained in such Debt Commitment Letter in an amount sufficient (after giving effect to any cash on hand of US Purchaser or its subsidiaries, availability under US Purchaser’s revolving credit facility and/or additional equity financing) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and on terms and conditions that comply with Section 6.09(c) below (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that US Purchaser shall have no obligation to seek the Equity Financing from any source other than the Equity Financing Sources or in any amount in excess of that contemplated by each respective Equity Commitment Letter). US Purchaser shall keep the Seller reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to consummate the Financing, including any alternative financing as contemplated in this

Section 6.09 (except as could require US Purchaser to disclose information subject to attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product privilege).

(c)    Notwithstanding anything contained in any provision of this Agreement, US Purchaser shall have the right from time to time to amend, restate, replace, supplement or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the Debt Commitment Letters and/or substitute other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing from the same and/or alternative financing sources; provided, that any such amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement or other modification to or waiver of any provision of the Debt Commitment Letter that amends the Debt Financing and/or substitution of all or any portion of the Debt Financing shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing contemplated to be funded on the Closing Date (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing contemplated to be funded on the Closing Date) below the amount sufficient (after giving effect to any cash on hand of US Purchaser or its subsidiaries, availability under US Purchaser’s revolving credit facility and/or additional equity financing) to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the Debt Financing in a manner that would be reasonably likely to prevent or delay the funding of the Debt Financing. US Purchaser shall promptly deliver to the Seller true and complete copies of any such amendment, restatement, replacement, supplement, modification, substitution or waiver; provided that US Purchaser may replace, amend, supplement or modify the Debt Commitment Letters for the purpose of adding agents, co-agents, lenders, purchasers, arrangers, joint bookrunners or other Persons that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date hereof, in each case in accordance with the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date hereof so long as such replacement, amendment, supplement or modification is otherwise in compliance with this Section 6.09(c). If any Debt Commitment Letter is replaced, amended, supplemented or modified, including as a result of obtaining alternative financing in accordance with Section 6.09(b), or if US Purchaser substitutes other debt or equity financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing in accordance with this Section 6.09, US Purchaser shall comply with its obligations in this Agreement, including this Section 6.09, with respect to such Debt Commitment Letter as so replaced, amended, supplemented or modified to the same extent that US Purchaser were obligated to comply prior to such Debt Commitment Letter being replaced, amended, supplemented or modified.

(d)    For purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to representations made by US Purchaser as of the date hereof), references to (i) “Debt Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as permitted to be amended, modified, supplemented, restated, replaced or substituted by Section 6.09(c), (ii) “Debt Commitment Letters” shall also include any amendment, modification, restatement, supplement and replacement or substitution permitted by Section 6.09(c) and (iii) “Debt Financing Sources” shall include lenders, purchasers and other financing sources (including underwriters, placement agents and initial purchasers) providing the Debt Financing pursuant to any amendment, modification, restatement, supplement and replacement permitted by Section 6.09(c).

12.17    Specific Performance.

(a)    Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by the Parties could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which any Party shall be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, each Party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party may be entitled to cause the other Party to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Law and to thereafter cause this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto as set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01, Seller and US Seller shall be entitled to seek and obtain an injunction, specific performance and other equitable remedies to cause Purchaser and US Purchaser to cause the Equity Financing to be funded consistent with the terms of the Equity Commitment Letters and to cause Purchaser and US Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement only in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (A) the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, each of which shall be capable of being satisfied at the Closing) have been satisfied at the time the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of the Equity Financing to be funded, and (B) Seller and US Seller has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Purchaser and US Purchaser that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing is funded, then Seller and US Seller are prepared to immediately consummate the Closing.

(b)    Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that the other Party has an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. Any Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

(c)    Prior to the Closing, if any Action is brought to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement prior to the Closing, the Party against whom such Action is brought shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d) during (i) the amount of time during which such Action is pending, plus twenty (20) Business Days, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such Action.

12.18    Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that WF&G has acted as legal counsel to Seller, US Seller, Company, US Company, their respective Affiliates and the Group Companies prior to the Closing, and that WF&G intends to act as legal counsel to Seller, US Seller and certain of its Affiliates after the Closing, Purchaser and US Purchaser, on their own behalf and,

effective as of the Closing, on behalf of the Group Companies hereby waives, and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with WF&G representing any of Seller, US Seller and/or their Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Purchaser, US Purchaser, any Group Company or the transactions contemplated herein. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences among Seller, US Seller and their Affiliates in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Engagement”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Group Companies). Accordingly, the Group Companies shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of WF&G relating to the Engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Engagement, and any of the Group Companies shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of WF&G in respect of the Engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall hold such property rights and (c) WF&G shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Group Companies relating to the Engagement by reason of any attorney-client relationship between WF&G and any of the Group Companies or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Purchaser, US Purchaser or any of the Group Companies, on the one hand, and a third party (other than a Party or its Affiliates), on the other hand, after the Closing, Purchaser (including, effective as of the Closing, on behalf of the Group Companies) may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by WF&G to such third party; provided, that, neither Purchaser, US Purchaser nor any of the Group Companies may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Seller.

The Parties acknowledge that the Civil Law Notary is associated with NautaDutilh N.V., which has acted as legal counsel to Seller, US Seller, the Company, US Company, their respective Affiliates and the Group Companies prior to Closing.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the certificates delivered pursuant hereto, Seller, US Seller, the Group Companies and

their respective Affiliates do not make or provide, and Purchaser and US Purchaser hereby waive, any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability, as for a particular purpose or condition of the assets of the Group Companies or any part thereto.

Purchaser and US Purchaser acknowledge that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Purchaser and US Purchaser are familiar with such uncertainties and that Purchaser and US Purchaser are taking full responsibility for making their own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to them, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts. Accordingly, Purchaser and US Purchaser hereby acknowledge that none of Seller, US Seller, the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates is making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts, and that Purchaser and US Purchaser have not relied on any such estimates, projections or other forecasts or plans.

12.21    Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO (INCLUDING THE DEBT FINANCING), IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.

12.22    USD Equivalent. To the extent computation of any amounts contemplated by this Agreement (including the Closing Consideration and the Final Consideration) include a currency other than U.S. dollars, such amounts shall be converted to U.S. dollars using the USD Equivalent; provided, that, when determining the Final Consideration and any pre-closing or post-closing computations thereof for purposes of Article I, the USD Equivalent shall be determined using the Spot Rate on the Closing Date.

12.23    Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller and US Seller, on behalf of themselves and each of the Group Companies and their respective Affiliates, hereby waive any claims against the Debt Financing Sources (including other Persons that have entered into agreements with the Debt Financing Sources in connection with the Debt Financing) and any of their respective assignees, participants, former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, investors, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, stockholders or equity holders (collectively with the Debt

Financing Sources, the “Debt Financing Source Related Parties”), and hereby agree that in no event shall the Debt Financing Source Related Parties (or any of them) have any liability or obligation (whether in law or in equity) to Seller, US Seller, any of the Group Companies or their respective Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.23 shall in any way limit or modify the rights and obligations of Purchaser, US Purchaser or the Debt Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letters. WITHOUT IN ANY WAY LIMITING ANY WAIVER OF LIABILITY AGAINST THE DEBT FINANCING SOURCES OR ANY OTHER PROVISION RELATING TO THE DEBT FINANCING SOURCES AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT NOR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES WILL BRING, OR SUPPORT THE BRINGING OF, ANY CLAIM, WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE DEBT FINANCING SOURCES IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ANYWHERE OTHER THAN ANY FEDERAL, STATE OR COUNTY COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Solely for purposes of determining a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in this Agreement in connection with a claim brought pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policy, or for calculating the amount of losses to which such a claim relates, the representations and warranties in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been made without any qualifications as to “materiality”, “material” or “Material Adverse Effect”.
