(d) all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and (i) each share of Company Common Stock that was, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented by a certificate (each, a “Certificate”) and (ii) each uncertificated share of Company Common Stock that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, was registered to a holder on the stock transfer books of the Company (an “Uncertificated Share”) shall (in each case, other than with respect to Excluded Shares) thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and the right to receive any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.04(f), to be issued or paid in accordance with Section 2.04, without interest.

Section 2.04 Surrender and Payment.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a commercial bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”) and enter into an exchange agent agreement with the Exchange Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”) for the purpose of exchanging (i) Certificates or (ii) Uncertificated Shares for the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock. As of the Effective Time, in consideration of and in exchange for the Cancellation, Parent shall deposit with the ADS Depositary Parent Ordinary Shares underlying the Parent ADSs issuable pursuant to Section 2.03(a). As of the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Section 2.04 through the Exchange Agent, the Parent ADSs issuable pursuant to Section 2.03(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock. For the avoidance of doubt, any stamp duty liability arising in connection with the deposit of Parent ADSs with the Exchange Agent will be payable by Parent. Parent agrees to make available, directly or indirectly, to the Exchange Agent from time to time as needed additional cash sufficient to pay any dividends or other distributions to which such holders are entitled pursuant to Section 2.04(f). Promptly after the Effective Time (and in no event later than five Business Days thereafter), Parent shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company and substantially finalized prior to the Effective Time and which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only on proper delivery of the Certificates or transfer of the Uncertificated Shares to the Exchange Agent) for use in such exchange. All certificates (or evidence of Parent ADSs in book-entry form) and cash deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to deliver the Merger Consideration contemplated to be issued or paid pursuant to this Article II out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, that such cash shall only be invested in the manner provided in the Exchange Agent Agreement. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, Parent on termination of the Exchange Fund.

(b) Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, within five Business Days of the later to occur of (i) surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Certificate, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or (ii) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of the Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate or Uncertificated Share (including any dividends and distributions with respect to the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.04(f)). The Parent ADSs constituting the Merger Consideration, at Parent’s option, shall be in uncertificated book-entry form, unless a physical American depositary receipt evidencing such Parent ADSs is requested by a holder of shares of Company Common Stock or is otherwise required under Applicable Law.

(c) If any portion of the Merger Consideration (or any dividends and distributions with respect to the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.04(f)) is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Uncertificated Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Uncertificated Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Exchange Agent any stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, transfer or similar Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such stamp duty, stamp duty reserve tax, transfer or similar Taxes have been paid or are not payable.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration (and any dividends and distributions with respect to the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.04(f)) with respect thereto in accordance with the procedures set forth in, or as otherwise contemplated by, this Article II (including this Section 2.04).

(e) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of shares of Company Common Stock 12 months following the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent or as otherwise instructed by Parent, and any such holder who has not exchanged shares of Company Common Stock for the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Section 2.04 prior to that time shall thereafter look only to Parent for payment of the Merger Consideration (and any dividends and distributions with respect to the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.04(f)), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) shall not be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amounts properly paid to a public official in compliance with applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of shares of Company Common Stock immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Following the surrender of any Certificates, along with the delivery of a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, or the transfer of any Uncertificated Shares, in each case as provided in this Section 2.04, Parent shall pay, or cause to be paid, without interest, to the Person in whose name the Parent ADSs constituting the Merger Consideration have been registered, (i) in connection with the payment of the Merger Consideration, the aggregate amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Parent ADSs, with a record date on or after the Effective Time that were paid prior to the time of such surrender or transfer, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date after the payment of the Merger Consideration, the amount of all dividends or other distributions payable with respect to whole Parent ADSs constituting the Merger Consideration with a record date on or after the Effective Time and prior to the time of such surrender or transfer and with a payment date subsequent to the time of such surrender or transfer. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent ADSs constituting the Merger Consideration shall be paid to the holder of any Certificates not surrendered or of any Uncertificated Shares not transferred until such Certificates are surrendered and the holder thereof delivers a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal or such or Uncertificated Shares are transferred, as the case may be, as provided in this Section 2.04.

Section 2.05 Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 2.06 Company Equity Awards; Company Warrants.

(a) Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each compensatory option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock granted under any Company Stock Plan that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Company Stock Option”), whether or not vested shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into an option to purchase Parent ADSs (each, an “Assumed Stock Option”), on the same terms and conditions (including any vesting or forfeiture provisions or repurchase rights, but taking into account any acceleration thereof provided for in the relevant Company Employee Plan or in the related award document by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby) as were applicable under such Company Stock Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The number of Parent ADSs subject to each such Assumed Stock Option shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of Parent ADSs, and such Assumed Stock Option shall have an exercise price per Parent ADS (rounded up to the nearest cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock otherwise purchasable pursuant to such Company Stock Option divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, that in the case of any Company Stock Option to which Section 421 of the Code applies as of the Effective Time (taking into account the effect of any accelerated vesting thereof, if applicable) by reason of its qualification under Section 422 of the Code, the exercise price, the number of Parent ADSs subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424(a) of the Code; provided further, that in the case of any Company Stock Option to which Section 409A of the Code applies as of the Effective Time, the exercise price, the number of Parent ADSs subject to such option and the terms and conditions of exercise of such option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid the imposition of any additional taxes thereunder.

(b) Company Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit award with respect to shares of Company Common Stock outstanding under any Company Stock Plan that vests solely based on the passage of time (each, a “Company RSU Award”) shall be treated as set forth in this Section 2.06(b).

(i) To the extent a Company RSU Award becomes vested in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, pursuant to the terms of the applicable Company Employee Plan, restricted stock unit award agreement or other agreements between the Company and the award holder, a number of shares of Company Common Stock determined in accordance therewith will be issued to the award holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each such share will be treated at the Effective Time the same as, and have the same rights and be subject to the same conditions as, each share of Company Common Stock described in Section 2.03 above.

(ii) The Company shall take all necessary action to provide that each Company RSU Award that remains outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time after giving effect to Section 2.06(b)(i) above shall, effective as of the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be converted into a restricted stock unit award which shall represent the right to acquire Parent ADSs (each, an “Assumed RSU Award”), on the same terms and conditions (including any accelerated vesting on a termination of the holder’s employment in connection with or following the Merger) as were applicable under such Company RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The number of Parent ADSs subject to each such Assumed RSU Award shall be equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down, if necessary, to the nearest whole number of Parent ADSs.

(c) Board Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company and of Parent (and/or the applicable committees thereof) shall adopt such resolutions as are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.06.

(d) Company ESPP. As soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Company (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions or take such other actions as may be required so that (i) participation in the Company ESPP shall be limited to those employees who are participants on the date of this Agreement, (ii) except to the extent necessary to maintain the status of the Company ESPP as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, participants may not increase their payroll deduction elections or rate of contributions from those in effect on the date of this Agreement or make any separate non-payroll contributions to the Company ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement, (iii) no offering period shall be commenced after the date of this Agreement, and (iv) the Company ESPP shall terminate, effective on the earlier of the first purchase date following the date of this Agreement or the fifth trading day before the Effective Time, but subsequent to the exercise of purchase rights on such purchase date (in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP).

(e) Registration on Form S-8. On or as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, Parent shall register the Parent ADSs issuable pursuant to Assumed Stock Options and Assumed RSU Awards on a registration statement on Form S-8 (if such Form is available).

(f) Company Warrants. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (each a “Company Warrant”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and not exercised or expired pursuant to its terms at or immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, shall be deemed to be net exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time and the shares of Company Common Stock issued to such holder of Company Warrant upon such net exercise immediately prior to the Effective Time will be treated at the Effective Time the same as, and have the same rights and be subject to the same conditions as, each share of Company Common Stock described in Section 2.03 above.

Section 2.07 Adjustments. Without limiting or affecting any of the provisions of Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, if, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Parent ADSs or outstanding Parent Ordinary Shares in respect thereof shall occur as a result of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split), merger, offer (as defined in the U.K. Code), combination, scheme, exchange or readjustment of shares, subdivision or other similar transaction, or any stock dividend or distribution thereon with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately adjusted to provide the holders of shares of Company Common Stock and/or Company Equity Awards with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

Section 2.08 Fractional ADSs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional Parent ADSs shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the Merger a fraction of a Parent ADS (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, in the aggregate that number of whole Parent ADSs resulting from the application of the Exchange Ratio as described in Section 2.03 or Section 2.06 as is rounded to the nearest whole Parent ADS, with no cash being paid for any fractional Parent ADSs eliminated by such rounding.

Section 2.09 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law. To the extent amounts so deducted and withheld are paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the deduction and withholding were made.

Section 2.10 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, on the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a customary bond issued for lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificates, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall, if such holder has otherwise delivered a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II (including Section 2.04).

Section 2.11 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) in each case to the fullest extent permissible by applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless each individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnitee” and, collectively, the “Indemnitees”) with respect to all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, fines, penalties, costs (including amounts paid in settlement or compromise) and expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) in connection with any Action based on or arising out of (A) the fact that an Indemnitee is or was a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or (B) acts or omissions by an Indemnitee in the Indemnitee’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or such Subsidiary or taken at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary (including in connection with serving at the request of the Company or such Subsidiary as a representative of another Person (including any employee benefit plan)), in each case of clauses (A) and (B), at, or at any time prior to, the Effective Time (including any Action relating in whole or in part to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and (ii) assume (in the case of the Surviving Corporation, in the Merger without any further action) all obligations of the Company and such Subsidiaries to the Indemnitees in respect of indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time as provided in the Company Organizational Documents and the organizational documents of such Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement or in the agreements in effect as of the date of this Agreement providing for indemnification between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnitee. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are in the Company Organizational Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees. In addition, from the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) advance any expenses (including fees and expenses of legal counsel) of any Indemnitee under this Section 7.13 as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law; provided that the Indemnitee to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.13.

(b) Each of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Indemnitees shall cooperate to the extent reasonably practicable in the defense of any claim and shall provide access to properties and individuals as reasonably requested and furnish or cause to be furnished records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(c) For the six-year period commencing immediately after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time with respect to those individuals who are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies on terms and scope with respect to such coverage, and in amount, no less favorable to such individuals than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement (or Parent may substitute therefor policies, issued by reputable insurers, of at least the same coverage with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, including a “tail” policy); provided that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation be required to expend in any one year an amount in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual amounts currently paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance (such amount being the “Maximum Premium”). The Company shall have the right prior to the Effective Time to purchase a six-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions providing at least substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby, so long as the effective annual premium under such policy does not exceed the Maximum Premium. If such prepaid “tail policy” has been obtained by the Company, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 7.13 and the Surviving Corporation shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.13 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnitee, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under the Company Organizational Documents, by contract or otherwise. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.13 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 7.13 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. The Indemnitees to whom this Section 7.13 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.13. The Surviving Corporation agrees to (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay or advance, upon written request of the Indemnitee, all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Indemnitee in enforcing the indemnity and other rights provided in this Section 7.13; provided that the Indemnitee to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.13.

(e) If any of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company, partnership or other Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.13.

(f) Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors or officers, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 7.13 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Section 7.14 Obligations of Merger Sub. (a) Until the Effective Time, Holdings shall at all times be the direct owner of all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of Merger Sub. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Merger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall cause Holdings, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, to execute a written consent approving and adopting this Agreement in accordance with Applicable Law.

Section 7.15 Transition Committee. As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Parties shall establish a transition committee (the “Transition Committee”) consisting of three representatives designated by each of Parent and the Company. The activities of the Transition Committee shall include the facilitation of the exchange of information between the Parties, oversight of integration planning, consultation with respect to operations and major business decisions and other matters as the Transition Committee deems appropriate, subject to Applicable Law.

Section 10.09 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.09.

This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, including by facsimile, by email with .pdf attachments, or by other electronic signatures (including DocuSign and AdobeSign), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed and delivered (by electronic communication, facsimile or otherwise) by all of the other Parties hereto. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect, and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 10.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the Parent Disclosure Schedule, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Company Voting Agreement and the Parent Voting Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof.

109

Section 10.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.13 Specific Performance. The Parties’ rights in this Section 10.13 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law (a) for any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that (except where this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.01) the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages, and each Party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. The right to specific performance hereunder shall include the right of a Party to cause the Merger to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Parties further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.13, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement, nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 10.13 or anything contained in this Section 10.13 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9.01 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter. In no event shall the Company or Parent be entitled to both (i) specific performance to cause the other Party to consummate the Closing and (ii) the payment of the Parent Termination Payment or the Company Termination Payment, as applicable.
