Change of Control of the Shareholder Parent. (a) In the event that, during the period from the Closing Date until the occurrence of a Board Right Termination Event, a Change of Control with respect to the Shareholder Parent is consummated that results from a Shareholder Parent Change of Control Event, to the extent permitted by Irish law, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase (by way of redemption or otherwise) from the Shareholder all, but not less than all, of the Shareholder Shares held by the Shareholder on the date of consummation of such Change of Control. The Shareholder Parent shall give the Company written notice of the occurrence of such Change of Control within ten (10) Business Days after its consummation and the Company’s right under this Section 5.3 shall be exercisable by delivering a written election notice to the Shareholder (such notice, an “Election Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after the date of receipt by the Company of such notice from the Shareholder Parent (or at an earlier time following the consummation of such Change of Control). The delivery of an Election Notice by the Company shall irrevocably bind the Company to purchase, and the Shareholder to sell, all of the Shareholder Shares held by the Shareholder on the date of consummation of such Change of Control in accordance with this Section 5.3. In the event that the Company fails to deliver an Election Notice within such ten (10) Business Day period following notice by the Shareholder Parent of the consummation of the Change of Control, the Company shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected not to exercise its right to purchase such Shareholder Shares in respect of such Change of Control pursuant to this Section 5.3.
