AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

This AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is dated as of February 28, 2022, by and among Sezzle Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware public benefit corporation, Zip Co Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (“Parent”), and Miyagi Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”).

WHEREAS, in connection with the exploration of potential opportunities for business combinations, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, divestitures and other similar change in control transactions, on September 9, 2021, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”), formed a committee of the Company Board comprised of independent and disinterested directors (the “M&A Committee”) to, among other things, (a) review, analyze and make recommendations to the Company Board with respect to potential opportunities for business combinations, mergers, acquisitions, dispositions, divestitures and other similar change in control transactions involving the Company (collectively, “Strategic Transactions”), (b) evaluate and/or negotiate the terms of any Strategic Transactions, and determine whether any such Strategic Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s minority stockholders, (c) evaluate and/or negotiate the terms of any material amendment, modification or supplement to any agreement resulting from a Strategic Transaction, or any waiver or departure from the terms and conditions of such an agreement, and determine whether any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or departure is in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s minority stockholders, (d) evaluate and/or negotiate any material determinations, decisions or elections to be made by the Company under, or with respect to, any agreement resulting from a Strategic Transaction, and determine whether any such determination, decision or election is in the best interests of the Company and the Company’s minority stockholders, and (e) perform additional functions that are necessary or appropriate for the efficient discharge of the foregoing;

WHEREAS, following the M&A Committee’s review of certain potential negotiated transactions or business combinations and its determination that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger (as defined below) (the “Contemplated Transactions”), are fair and in the best interests of the Company, the Company Stockholders and those materially affected by the Company’s conduct, and promote the Public Benefit (as defined herein), the M&A Committee has reviewed and unanimously approved the terms of the Contemplated Transactions and has unanimously recommended that the Company Board (i) approve the acquisition of the Company by Parent pursuant to the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and (ii) approve this Agreement and recommend that the holders of the Company Shares (as defined herein) (the “Company Stockholders”) adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions, including the cancellation of the Company Equity Awards (collectively, the “M&A Committee Recommendation”);

WHEREAS, the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions is conditioned upon, among other conditions, the receipt of the affirmative vote of a majority of the issued and outstanding Company Shares, in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Merger (as defined below);

WHEREAS, the Company Board, acting upon the M&A Committee Recommendation, and the board of directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) each have approved the acquisition of the Company by Parent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, pursuant to a transaction in which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Merger, each share of the Company’s common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (including each share of the Company’s common stock in respect of which a Company CDI has been issued) (the “Company Shares”), outstanding at the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (as defined herein), as more fully provided in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company Board, acting upon the M&A Committee Recommendation, has unanimously determined, subject to the terms of this Agreement, that the Contemplated Transactions are fair and in the best interests of the Company, the Company Stockholders and those materially affected by the Company’s conduct, and promote the Public Benefit, and approved this Agreement and resolved to recommend that the Company Stockholders adopt this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Parent Board has unanimously approved and declared advisable this Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions, the Parent Share Issuance (as defined herein) and the issuance of the New Parent Equity Awards (as defined herein), and determined that it is in the best interests of Parent and the shareholders of Parent (the “Parent Stockholders”) to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Contemplated Transactions and effect the Parent Share Issuance and the issuance of the New Parent Equity Awards, and has resolved to recommend that the Parent Stockholders approve the Transaction Resolutions;

WHEREAS, the Parent Board has directed that all resolutions required to give effect to the Contemplated Transactions, the Parent Share Issuance and the issuance of the New Parent Equity Awards for the purposes of any applicable Law (including the ASX Listing Rules) (the “Transaction Resolutions”) be put to the Parent Stockholders at an extraordinary general meeting of the Parent Stockholders to be convened by Parent for the purposes of considering such resolutions (the “Parent Extraordinary General Meeting”), including to approve the issuance of the Parent Ordinary Shares (as defined below) and Parent ADRs (as defined herein) (including the Parent Ordinary Shares underlying the Parent ADRs) in the Merger (collectively, the “Parent Share Issuance”) and the issuance of the New Parent Equity Awards in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules;

WHEREAS, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) the Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” as described in Section 368 of the Code, (ii) this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of the regulations promulgated under Section 368 of the Code and (iii) with respect to the Merger, Parent is intended to be treated as a corporation under Section 367(a) of the Code with respect to each transfer of property thereto in connection with the Merger (other than a transfer by a shareholder that is a U.S. Person and that holds five percent (5%) or more of Parent (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(a)-3(b)(1)(i)) immediately following the Merger);

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Board”) has duly adopted this Agreement and approved the Merger;

WHEREAS, the sole stockholder of Merger Sub has adopted this Agreement and approved the Merger in accordance with the DGCL;

WHEREAS, as a material inducement to Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company have executed and delivered separate support agreements with Parent agreeing to certain matters with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, including to vote all Company Shares held by them in favor of the Merger, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Company Support Agreements”);

WHEREAS, as a material inducement to the Company to enter into this Agreement, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain stockholders of Parent have executed and delivered separate support agreements with the Company agreeing to certain matters with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, including to vote all Parent Ordinary Shares held by them in favor of the Transaction Resolutions, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Parent Support Agreements”);

WHEREAS, at or promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent is commencing a (a) private placement of approximately seventy eight million three hundred thousand (78,300,000) Parent Ordinary Shares to investors to raise up to one hundred and forty-eight million seven hundred thousand Australian Dollars (AUS $148,700,000) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (as defined herein) that is being executed concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and (b) share purchase plan relating to the offer and issuance to certain eligible Parent Stockholders ((a) and (b), the “Financing”); and

WHEREAS, certain defined terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 8.11.

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

Article 1

THE MERGER

1.01 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue as the survivor of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”). The Surviving Corporation will continue to exist under the laws of the State of Delaware, with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, unaffected by the Merger except as set forth in this Article 1. Immediately after the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent.

1.02 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place on a date and at a time to be specified by the parties, which will be no later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day after satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) written waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) written waiver of such conditions at the Closing) (such date on which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”), by electronic transmission of counterpart signatures to the documents contemplated by this Agreement, unless another date, time and/or place is mutually agreed upon in writing by Parent and the Company.

1.03 Effective Time. At the Closing, the parties hereto will cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective on the date and time of the filing of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, or such later time as is specified in the Certificate of Merger and agreed to by Parent and the Company, being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time,” and the parties hereto will make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL in connection with the Merger.

1.04 Effects of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the DGCL.

1.05 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time, the certificate of incorporation of the Company will, by virtue of the Merger, be amended and restated in its entirety to read in the form of Exhibit C, and, as so amended, will be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with its terms and as provided by applicable Law. At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub, the bylaws of the Company will be amended and restated in their entirety so as to read in the form of Exhibit D, and, as so amended, will be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with their terms, in accordance with the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and as provided by applicable Law.

1.06 Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, each individual listed on Exhibit E will have the initial director and executive officer role at the Surviving Corporation set forth across from such individual’s name on Exhibit E, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until his or her successor has been duly elected, designated or qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.07 Treatment of the Company Shares and the Company Equity Awards.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of any shares of capital stock thereof:

(i) each Company Share held as of the Effective Time by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub (collectively, but excluding any Company Shares held by any Company Plan, the “Parent Excluded Shares”), will be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(ii) each Company Share held as of the Effective Time by any direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Company or any direct or indirect Subsidiary of Parent (collectively, the “Subsidiary Excluded Shares,” and together with the Parent Excluded Shares, the “Excluded Shares”) shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation such that the ownership percentage of any such Subsidiary in the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time shall equal the ownership percentage of such Subsidiary in the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time (such shares, “Former Subsidiary Excluded Shares”); and

(iii) subject to Section 1.11, each Company Share outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Excluded Shares) will be converted into the right to receive the following:

(A) in the case of a Company Share to which an election to receive Parent Ordinary Shares (a “Parent Ordinary Share Election”) has been properly made and not properly revoked pursuant to Section 1.08, or with respect to which no election has been properly made (each, a “Parent Ordinary Share Electing Share” and collectively, the “Parent Ordinary Share Electing Shares”), a number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below) (the “Parent Ordinary Share Election Consideration”); or

(B) in the case of a Company Share held by any Person who is not an Australian Stockholder to which an election to receive Parent ADRs (a “Parent ADR Election”) has been properly made and not properly revoked pursuant to Section 1.08 (each, a “Parent ADR Electing Share” and collectively, the “Parent ADR Electing Shares”), a number of American depositary receipts (“Parent ADRs”) representing a number of ordinary shares in the capital of Parent (“Parent Ordinary Shares”) equal to the Exchange Ratio (the “Parent ADR Election Consideration” and together with the Parent Ordinary Share Election Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) At the Effective Time and subject to Section 1.11:

(i) Company RSUs.

(1) Each Company RSU that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a performance right (each, an “Adjusted RSU”) with the same terms and conditions (subject to any changes required by Australian Law, including the ASX Listing Rules) as were applicable to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (including service-based vesting and double-trigger vesting and all other provisions set forth under the applicable award agreements and Company Stock Plans) and relating to the number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded to the nearest whole share, except that Parent may settle each Adjusted RSU in its discretion through an issuance of new Parent Ordinary Shares, a transfer of existing Parent Ordinary Shares from any Parent employee share trust (or similar arrangement) and/or by allocating in the name of the relevant Person Parent Ordinary Shares held by any Parent employee share trust (or similar arrangement). Any accrued but unpaid dividend equivalents in connection with any Company RSU will be assumed and become an obligation in connection with the applicable Adjusted RSU. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the maximum number of Adjusted RSUs shall not exceed 6,184,811 (settleable into a maximum of 6,184,811 Parent Ordinary Shares).

(2) Each Company RSU, to the extent vested and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or of 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 the form of Parent ADR Election Consideration or Parent Ordinary Share Election Consideration (as determined at the discretion of the Company so long as the Company provides prior written notice of such determination to Parent) in respect of each Company Share subject to the Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that any holder of such vested Company RSU that is an Australian Stockholder shall only be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in the form of Parent Ordinary Share Election Consideration.

(ii) Company Options.

(1) Each Company Option that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an option to purchase Parent Ordinary Shares (each, an “Adjusted Option”) with the same terms and conditions (subject to any changes required by Australian Law, including the ASX Listing Rules) as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (including service-based vesting and double-trigger vesting and all other provisions set forth under the applicable award agreements and Company Stock Plans; provided, however, that each Company Option that is subject to a Company total shareholder return performance-based vesting condition (“Company TSR”), shall, immediately prior to the Effective Time, become earned, if at all, by using the Closing Date as the end of the applicable performance period for purposes of measuring Company TSR, with the resulting Adjusted Option, if any, subject to service-based vesting through the end of the original performance period and continuing on the same terms and conditions as were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time), and relating to the number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share, except that Parent may settle each Company Option in its discretion through an issue of new Parent Ordinary Shares, a transfer of existing Parent Ordinary Shares from any Parent employee share trust (or similar arrangement) and/or by allocating in the name of the relevant Person Parent Ordinary Shares held by any Parent employee share trust (or similar arrangement). The exercise price per Parent Ordinary Share subject to any such Adjusted Option will be an amount equal to the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Company Share subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by the Exchange Rate as of the date hereof and (2) the Exchange Ratio, with any fractional cents rounded up to the nearest whole cent. The exercise price per Parent Ordinary Share subject to any such Adjusted Option and the number of Parent Ordinary Shares subject to any such Adjusted Option will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and, in the case of Company Options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Code. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the maximum number of Adjusted Options shall not exceed 9,098,430 (exercisable into a maximum of 9,098,430 Parent Ordinary Shares).

(2) Each Company Option, to the extent vested and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or of the holder thereof, be cancelled, with the holder of such Company Option becoming entitled to receive, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, the Merger Consideration in the form of Parent ADR Election Consideration or Parent Ordinary Share Election Consideration (as determined at the discretion of the Company so long as the Company provides prior written notice of such determination to Parent) in respect of a number of Company Shares equal to the quotient of (A) the product of (x) the amount by which the Implied Per Share Value exceeds the exercise price per share of such Company Option multiplied by (y) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company Option, divided by (B) the Implied Per Share Value; provided that any holder of such vested Company Option that is an Australian Stockholder shall only be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in the form of Parent Ordinary Share Election Consideration.

(iii) Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board or a committee thereof with necessary authority shall adopt such resolutions as may be reasonably necessary to provide for or give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.07(b). Prior to any such adoption, the Company shall provide Parent with drafts of, and a reasonable opportunity to comment upon, all such resolutions, and shall consider any such comments in good faith. If requested by Parent no later than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company Board or a committee thereof with necessary authority shall adopt such resolutions as may be reasonably necessary to terminate the Company Stock Plans effective as of immediately prior to, but subject to the occurrence of, the Effective Time.

(c) No fractional Parent Ordinary Shares or fractional Parent ADRs will be issued in connection with the Merger, no dividends or distributions of Parent will relate to such fractional share interests, no certificates for any such fractional shares will be issued, and such fractional share interests will not entitle the Person who would otherwise be the owner thereof to vote or to any rights as a Parent Stockholder. Any Company Stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Ordinary Share (including a restricted Parent Ordinary Share) or a fraction of a Parent ADR as a result of the Merger (after taking into account all Company Shares held immediately prior to the Effective Time by such holder) will, in lieu of such fraction of a Parent Ordinary Share and upon surrender of such Company Share Certificate or Book-Entry Shares, be paid in cash in an amount equal to the product of (i) such fractional part of a Parent Ordinary Share or a Parent ADR multiplied by (ii) the Implied Per Share Value. The parties acknowledge that payment of the cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional Parent Ordinary Shares or fractional Parent ADRs was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Parent that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares or fractional Parent ADRs.

(d) All calculations performed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement will be calculated to two decimal places (0.01), where applicable.

(e) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of shares or capital stock thereof, each share of common stock of Merger Sub outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation and will constitute the only outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation other than Former Subsidiary Excluded Shares, if any.

1.08 Election.

(a) Each holder of Company Shares who is not an Australian Stockholder (other than in respect of any Excluded Shares) shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 1, to submit an Election in accordance with this Section 1.08 on or prior to the Election Deadline. The Company shall not waive the Election Deadline unless such Election Deadline is waived with respect to all holders of Company Shares, the new election deadline is publicly disclosed by the Company to all holders of Company Shares on a date agreed to by Parent, and Parent has given its prior written consent to such waiver (such agreement or consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). “Election Deadline” means 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Business Day immediately following the date on which the Company Stockholders’ Meeting is held or such other time or date as may be required by ASIC in connection with Section 6.01(f) or the Company and Parent shall mutually agree in writing. The Company and Parent shall cooperate to issue a press release in accordance with Section 5.12 that is reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Election Deadline.

(b) Each holder of Company Shares who is not an Australian Stockholder may specify in a request made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.08 (an “Election”) (i) the number of Company Shares with respect to which such holder desires to make a Parent Ordinary Share Election and (ii) the number of Company Shares with respect to which such holder desires to make a Parent ADR Election.

(c) Parent shall prepare a form of election that is reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Form of Election”), and Company shall mail, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail and deliver, together with the Proxy Statement, the Form of Election to each holder of Company Shares who is not an Australian Stockholder as of the record date for notice of the Company Stockholders’ Meeting not less than twenty (20) Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline (the period between such mailing and the Election Deadline, the “Election Period”). The Company shall make available one or more Forms of Election as may reasonably be requested from time to time by all Persons who are not Australian Stockholders and who become holders of Company Shares during the period following the record date for the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and prior to the Election Deadline.

(d) Any Election shall have been made properly only if the Exchange Agent shall have received, by the Election Deadline, a Form of Election properly completed and signed. Any Company Share with respect to which the holder of Company Shares does not make a valid Election by the Election Deadline shall be deemed to be a Parent Ordinary Share Electing Share.

(e) Any holders of Company Shares who are not Australian Stockholders may, at any time during the Election Period, revoke his, her or its Election by written notice to the Exchange Agent prior to the Election Deadline, together with a properly completed and signed revised Form of Election. Any subsequent transfers of any Company Shares after the holder of such Company Shares has made an Election shall automatically revoke such Election as to such Company Shares (and such subsequent transferee may make a new Election pursuant to and if permitted by the terms of this Section 1.08). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Elections shall be automatically deemed revoked upon receipt by the Exchange Agent of written notification from the Company and Parent that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article 7. The Exchange Agent and Parent shall have reasonable discretion to determine if any Election is not properly made, changed or revoked with respect to any Company Shares (none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent being under any duty to notify any holder of Company Shares of any applicable defect). In the event the Exchange Agent or Parent makes a good faith determination that an Election (i) was not properly made (including as a result of the Exchange Agent not receiving an Election by the Election Deadline) or (ii) has been otherwise revoked, such Election shall be deemed to be ineffective, and the Company Shares covered by such Election shall, for purposes hereof, be deemed to be Parent Ordinary Share Electing Shares.

1.09 Closing of the Company Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, (a) (i) each certificate formerly representing any Company Share (other than an Excluded Share) (each a “Certificate”) and (ii) each uncertificated Company Share (“Book-Entry Share”) (other than an Excluded Share) will cease to be outstanding and in either case, will represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs) as contemplated by Section 1.07 and any dividends or other distributions to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to Section 1.10(d), and all holders of Company Share Certificates or Book-Entry Shares will cease to have any rights as Company Stockholders, and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company will be closed with respect to all Company Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Shares will be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid Certificate previously representing any Company Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent, to the Surviving Corporation or to Parent, such Certificate will be cancelled and will be exchanged as provided in this Article 1.

1.10 Exchange Fund; Exchange of Certificates.

(a) At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent will designate Computershare Trust Company, N.A. or such other bank or trust company or other entity selected by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as exchange agent in the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”) for the payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration pursuant to an exchange agent agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be deposited (i) with the Depositary Bank, or a nominee of the Depositary Bank, a number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the maximum number of Parent ADRs that become issuable pursuant to Section 1.07(a)(iii) for delivery to the Merger Consideration recipients entitled thereto, and (ii) with, or as otherwise directed by, the Exchange Agent (A) for exchange in accordance with this Article 1, on behalf of itself, the maximum number of Parent Ordinary Shares issuable in book entry form that become issuable pursuant to Section 1.07(a)(iii) for delivery to the Merger Consideration recipients entitled thereto, (B) for exchange in accordance with this Article 1, on behalf of itself, receipts (or uncertificated book-entries) representing the maximum number of Parent ADRs that become issuable pursuant to Section 1.07(a)(iii) for delivery to the holders of Company Shares entitled thereto pursuant to Section 1.07 and (C) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs in accordance with Section 1.07(c) (such evidence of book entry form of Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent ADRs and cash amounts being the “Exchange Fund”), in each case, for the sole benefit of the Company Stockholders. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient (other than as a result of payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional Parent Ordinary Shares or additional Parent ADRs, as applicable, with the Exchange Agent in an amount that is equal to the shortfall that is required to make such payment. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration out 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. As used herein, “Depositary Bank” means a bank of national reputation in the United States, in its capacity as depositary for the Parent ADRs, reasonably acceptable to the parties hereto.

(b) Any holder of any Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Company Shares were converted pursuant to Section 1.07(a) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall not be required to deliver a Certificate to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of such Book-Entry Share.

(c) Parent shall, no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day after the Closing Date, cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Book-Entry Shares and Certificates whose Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.07(a)(iii) (other than holders of Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably specify (including to the extent applicable, that the Company Stockholder agrees to become a Parent Stockholder, and with respect to holders of Certificates, a provision confirming that delivery of Certificates will be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Shares will pass, only upon delivery of such Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Book-Entry Shares and Certificates (or, with respect to Certificates, a duly executed affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if requested by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting of a bond in a reasonable and customary amount as indemnity) in exchange for the Merger Consideration, as provided in Section 1.07(a). Upon surrender of a Book-Entry Share or Certificate (or duly executed affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if requested by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting of a bond in a reasonable and customary amount as indemnity) to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Parent, the holder of such Certificate will be entitled to receive in exchange thereof the number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs which the aggregate number of Company Shares previously represented by such Book-Entry Share or Certificate shall have been converted pursuant to Section 1.07(a)(iii) into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, and the Book-Entry Share or Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.10(c), each Book-Entry Share and Certificate will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and cash in lieu of any fractional Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs pursuant to Section 1.07(c) as contemplated by this Article 1, and any distribution or dividend with respect to Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs, the record date for which is after the Effective Time). In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name such Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate is properly endorsed or otherwise is in proper form for transfer, and the Person requesting such issuances pays any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of the Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs to a Person other than the registered holder of such Company Shares or establishes to the satisfaction of Parent that such Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(d) All Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent ADRs to be issued and delivered to the Exchange Agent pursuant to this Section 1.10 will be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time, and if a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent ADRs (as applicable), the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration will include dividends or other distributions in respect of all Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent ADRs issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to the Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs with a record date on or after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of an unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the Merger until such holder surrenders such Certificate or Book-Entry Share and a duly completed and executed letter of transmittal in accordance with this Section 1.10. All such dividends and other distributions will be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and will be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Section 1.10. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, there will be paid to the record holder thereof, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the dividends or other distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent ADRs not paid, less any applicable Taxes and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent ADRs with a record date on or after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender, less any applicable Taxes.

(e) On the date that is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, Parent may, in its sole discretion, in respect of any Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs represented in book-entry form that remain unclaimed by any former Company Stockholders as of such time, direct the Exchange Agent to deal with or act on such Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent ADRs in any manner. Any former Company Stockholders who have not theretofore exchanged their Company Shares in accordance with Section 1.07, will thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for Merger Consideration, cash in lieu of fractional Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs, in each case, without any interest thereon, and subject to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law.

(f) None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent, the Depositary Bank or any of their respective Affiliates will be liable to any current or former Company Stockholder or to any other Person with respect to any Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) properly delivered to any public official in compliance with any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Law. Without limiting the rights of Parent under Section 1.10(e), if any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares will not have been surrendered prior to five (5) years after the Closing Date (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs or any dividends or other distributions payable to the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body), any Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs issuable upon the surrender of, or any dividends or other distributions in respect of, such Certificate or Book-Entry Share will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.11 Withholding. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent (as applicable) will be entitled to deduct or withhold such amounts from the amounts payable (including Parent Ordinary Shares or Parent ADRs deliverable) under this Agreement and any other agreement or arrangements entered into in connection therewith such amounts as it required to deduct and withhold in respect of such amounts in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and any other applicable Law. Any such withheld or deducted amount will be timely paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body and, to the extent so paid, treated as though such amount had been paid to the Person in respect of whom such withholding was required. Any compensatory payments contemplated to be made hereunder will be made through the payroll procedures of the applicable Person.

1.12 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that the Company changes the number of Company Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time or Parent changes the number of Parent Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time, in either case, as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or stock distribution, subdivision, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar change in capitalization, the consideration paid in accordance with this Agreement, including the amount of Parent Ordinary Shares and Parent ADRs to be issued in respect of each Company Share, will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change.

1.13 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent or the Company to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right to, title to, and possession of, the property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of Parent will be further authorized to take such action. Parent and the Surviving Corporation also will take such further actions as may be necessary or desirable to ensure that the Exchange Agent sends out the letters of transmittal to the Company Stockholders and issues certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form representing Parent Ordinary Shares to such stockholders in accordance with Section 1.09.

1.14 Post-Merger Operations. Parent will take all necessary corporate action to cause, as of the Effective Time, an increase in the size of the Parent Board to nine (9) directors, comprised of (a) five (5) directors designated by the Parent Board, (b) three (3) directors designated by the Company Board and (c) one (1) director to be designated upon mutual agreement of the Parent Board and Company Board (such mutual agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in each case subject to each individual’s ability and willingness to serve. Immediately following the Effective Time, (i) the chair of the Parent Board will be a director selected by Parent prior to the Effective Time, (ii) the individuals indicated on Section 1.14(ii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter will be the directors of the Parent Board designated by the Company Board and (iii) the Parent Board committees will be constituted as indicated on Section 1.14(iii) of the Parent Disclosure Letter. In the event that prior to the Effective Time any designee becomes unable or unwilling to serve in the role identified, a replacement for such designee will be determined in accordance with the principles set forth herein.

Each of Parent and its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or authorized to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction (to the extent such concept exists in such jurisdiction) in which its ownership of property or the conduct of business as now conducted requires it to qualify, except where the failure to be so qualified, authorized or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct its and their respective Representatives to, (i) promptly (and, in any event, not later than two (2) days following the date hereof) request and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the return or destruction of any confidential, proprietary or nonpublic information or data of the Company or its Subsidiaries disclosed by or on behalf of the Company to any Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives), (ii) enforce any confidentiality, standstill (except as necessary to exercise the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ fiduciary duties) or similar rights or agreement in favor of the Company or its Subsidiaries, and (iii) immediately cease, and cause to be terminated, any solicitation, encouragement, discussions, negotiations or activities with any Person (other than (x) Parent and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives and (y) activities solely in respect of compliance with the foregoing subclause (i)), in each case, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or which would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, and, in connection therewith, the Company shall discontinue access by any such Person (other than Parent and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives) to any data room (virtual or otherwise) established by the Company, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives in respect of any Acquisition Proposal.

(e) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof may directly or indirectly (i) withhold, withdraw (or amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), or publicly propose to withdraw (or amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Company Board or any such committee of the Contemplated Transactions or (ii) propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve any Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company (any action described in this sentence being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, and subject to the Company’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.07 and Section 5.03, solely in response to a Superior Proposal and after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, if the Company Board (or a duly authorized and empowered committee thereof) determines in good faith that it would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement to the Company Stockholders, then the Company may make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, the Company may not make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal, unless (A) such action is taken in response to a Superior Proposal that is not withdrawn as of the time of taking such action; (B) the Company gives Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (x) of its intention to take such action and (y) setting forth a reasonable description of the material events, facts, developments and circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including its basis for determining that such Superior Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (including the latest material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the third party making, the Superior Proposal, and any amendment, supplement or modification thereof)); (C) during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company and the Company Board (including any duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) has considered and negotiated (and has caused its Representatives to consider and negotiate) with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to so negotiate) regarding any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement) proposed by Parent (it being understood that Parent shall not have any obligation to propose any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement)); and (D) if during such five (5) Business Day period, Parent proposes any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement), the Company Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) (1) takes into account such alternative transaction (including such adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement), and (2) after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, again determines in good faith that, notwithstanding such alternative transaction (including such adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement), (I) it would nevertheless reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement and (II) such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any change to the financial terms or other material terms or material conditions of an Acquisition Proposal that was previously the subject of a notice under this Section 5.07(e) will require a new notice as provided under this Section 5.07(e), but with respect to any such subsequent notices references to a “five (5) Business Day period” will be deemed references to a “three (3) Business Day period.”

(f) At any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, following any Intervening Event, the Company Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, the Company Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) (i) determines in good faith that an Intervening Event has occurred and is continuing, (ii) as a result of the Intervening Event, determines in good faith that it would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement to the Company Stockholders, (iii) determines in good faith that the reasons for making such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change are independent from any Acquisition Proposal with respect to the Company and (iv) at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, provides written notice to Parent (a “Company Notice of Change”) advising Parent that the Company Board is contemplating making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and providing a reasonable description of the material events, facts, developments and circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including its basis for determining that an Intervening Event has occurred and is continuing); provided, however, that (A) the Company Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) may not make such a Company Adverse Recommendation Change until the fifth (5th) Business Day after receipt by Parent of a Company Notice of Change, (B) during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company and the Company Board (including any duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) has considered and negotiated (and has caused its Representatives to consider and negotiate) with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to so negotiate) regarding any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement) proposed by Parent (it being understood that Parent shall not have any obligation to propose any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement)) and (C) if during such five (5) Business Day period, Parent proposes any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement), the Company Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) (x) takes into account such alternative transaction (including such adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement), and (y) after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, again determines in good faith that it would nevertheless reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement due solely to a continuing Intervening Event.

(g) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in sub-sections (a) through (f) of this Section 5.07, as promptly as practicable after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours), the Company shall advise Parent in writing of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or proposal with respect to the Company received from any Person and the substance thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or proposal and provide copies of any written materials provided in connection therewith and written summaries of any material oral communications relating thereto), and will keep Parent apprised of any related material events, facts, circumstances, developments, discussions and negotiations on a reasonably current basis, including any amendments, supplements or modifications to, or revisions of, the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, discussions or negotiations.

5.08 Parent Non-Solicit.

(a) Parent shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall instruct and direct its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, seek or solicit, or knowingly encourage or facilitate or take any other action that is reasonably expected to promote, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making or submission of any proposal that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) engage or participate in discussions or negotiations with respect to, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal; (iii) provide any confidential, proprietary or nonpublic information or data of Parent or its Subsidiaries to any Person (other than the Company, its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives, in their capacity as such) in respect of any Acquisition Proposal (including to facilitate any Acquisition Proposal); or (iv) enter into any agreement, arrangement, undertaking, instrument or understanding (including any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, share purchase agreement, exchange agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement) with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Section 5.08, an “Acquisition Proposal” means an Acquisition Proposal with respect to Parent and its Subsidiaries.

(b) Parent shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct its and their respective Representatives to, (i) promptly (and, in any event, not later than two (2) days following the date hereof) request and use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the return or destruction of any confidential, proprietary or nonpublic information or data of Parent or its Subsidiaries disclosed by or on behalf of Parent to any Person (other than the Company and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives), (ii) enforce any confidentiality, standstill (except as necessary to exercise Parent’s or its Subsidiaries’ fiduciary duties) or similar rights or agreement in favor of Parent or its Subsidiaries and (iii) immediately cease, and cause to be terminated, any solicitation, encouragement, discussions, negotiations or activities with any Person (other than (x) the Company and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives and (y) activities solely in respect of compliance with the foregoing subclause (i)), in each case, with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or which would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, and, in connection therewith, Parent shall discontinue access by any such Person (other than the Company and its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ respective Representatives) to any data room (virtual or otherwise) established by Parent, its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives in respect of any Acquisition Proposal.

(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 5.08, Parent, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives may inform any Person that has made any Acquisition Proposal, or inquiry or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, of the provisions of this Section 5.08.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval, Parent and the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered committee thereof) may take any actions described in Section 5.08(a)(ii) and Section 5.08(a)(iii) with respect to a third party if (i) Parent receives a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from such third party that did not result or arise from a breach of Section 5.08(a), and (ii) the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered committee thereof) concludes in good faith (after receiving the advice of its outside counsel, and with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor) that (x) such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or is reasonably expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal and (y) the failure to take such actions would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, that, Parent may deliver confidential, non-public and/or proprietary information to such third party only (A) pursuant to a confidentiality agreement no less stringent to such Person (and protective to Parent) than the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement (which such confidentiality agreement shall permit Parent to comply with Section 5.08(h) and shall not provide such third party with any exclusive right to negotiate with Parent or any of its Subsidiaries) and (B) if such information has been or is concurrently delivered to the Company. Nothing contained in this Section 5.08 will prohibit Parent or the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered committee thereof) from (I) taking and disclosing to the Parent Stockholders a position with respect to any Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act (applied on the assumption that such Rules or Items, as applicable, apply to the Company and Parent) or (II) making any similar disclosure to the Parent Stockholders that is required by Law or that the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) determines in good faith that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that, in each case, if such disclosure would constitute a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, the provisions in this Agreement applicable to a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change shall apply; it being understood that a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not be deemed to be a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change (applied on the assumption that such Rules or Items, as applicable, apply to the Company and Parent).

(e) Neither the Parent Board nor any committee thereof may directly or indirectly (i) withhold, withdraw (or amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to the Company), or publicly propose to withdraw (or amend, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to the Company), the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the Parent Board or any such committee of the Contemplated Transactions or (ii) propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve any Acquisition Proposal with respect to Parent (any action described in this sentence being referred to as a “Parent Adverse Recommendation Change”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval, and subject to Parent’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.08 and Section 5.03, solely in response to a Superior Proposal and after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, if the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) determines in good faith that it would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement to the Parent Stockholders, then Parent may make such a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change; provided, however, Parent may not make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal, unless (i) such action is taken in response to a Superior Proposal that is not withdrawn as of the time of taking such action; (ii) Parent gives the Company at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (x) of its intention to take such action and (y) setting forth a reasonable description of the material events, facts, developments and circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including its basis for determining that such Superior Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal (including the latest material terms and conditions of, and the identity of the third party making, the Superior Proposal, and any amendment, supplement or modification thereof)); (iii) during such five (5) Business Day period, Parent and the Parent Board (including any duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) has considered and negotiated (and has caused its Representatives to consider and negotiate) with the Company in good faith (to the extent the Company desires to so negotiate) regarding any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement) proposed by the Company (it being understood that the Company shall not have any obligation to propose any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement)); and (iv) if during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company proposes any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement), the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered committee thereof) (1) takes into account such alternative transaction (including such adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement), and (2) after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, again determines in good faith that, notwithstanding such alternative transaction (including such adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement), (I) it would nevertheless reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement and (II) such Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal. Any change to the financial terms or other material terms or material conditions of an Acquisition Proposal that was previously the subject of a notice under this Section 5.08(e) will require a new notice as provided under this Section 5.08(e), but with respect to any such subsequent notices references to a “five (5) Business Day period” will be deemed references to a “three (3) Business Day period.”

(f) At any time prior to obtaining the Parent Stockholder Approval, following any Intervening Event, the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered committee thereof) may make a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change if, after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) (i) determines in good faith that an Intervening Event has occurred and is continuing, (ii) as a result of the Intervening Event, determines in good faith that it would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement to the Parent Stockholders, (iii) determines in good faith that the reasons for making such a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change are independent from any Acquisition Proposal with respect to Parent and (iv) at least five (5) Business Days prior to making any Parent Adverse Recommendation Change, provides written notice to the Company (a “Parent Notice of Change”) advising the Company that the Parent Board is contemplating making a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change and providing a reasonable description of the material events, facts, developments and circumstances giving rise to its determination to take such action (including its basis for determining that an Intervening Event has occurred and is continuing); provided, however, that (A) the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) may not make such a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change until the fifth (5th) Business Day after receipt by the Company of a Parent Notice of Change, (B) during such five (5) Business Day period, Parent and the Parent Board (including any duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) has considered and negotiated (and has caused its Representatives to consider and negotiate) with the Company in good faith (to the extent the Company desires to so negotiate) regarding any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement) proposed by the Company (it being understood that the Company shall not have any obligation to propose any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement)) and (C) if during such five (5) Business Day period, the Company proposes any alternative transaction (including any adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to the terms of this Agreement), the Parent Board (or a duly authorized and empowered special committee thereof) (x) takes into account such alternative transaction (including such adjustments, amendments, supplements or modifications to this Agreement), and (y) after receiving the advice of its outside counsel and, with respect to financial matters, its financial advisor, again determines in good faith that it would nevertheless reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law to continue to recommend this Agreement due solely to a continuing Intervening Event.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event any Acquisition Proposal is made with respect to Parent after the date of this Agreement, and such Acquisition Proposal is a Non-Conflicting Acquisition Proposal, then nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or otherwise restrict Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, Affiliates or Representatives from taking any action with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (including any action set forth in this Section 5.08) so long as Parent notifies the Company of such Acquisition Proposal and the material terms thereof and keeps the Company reasonably informed of the status of discussions regarding such Acquisition Proposal.

(h) In addition to the obligations of Parent set forth in sub-sections (a) through (f) of this Section 5.08, as promptly as practicable after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours), Parent shall advise the Company in writing of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or proposal with respect to Parent received from any Person and the substance thereof (including the terms and conditions of and the identity of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or proposal and provide copies of any written materials provided in connection therewith and written summaries of any material oral communications relating thereto), and will keep the Company apprised of any related material events, facts, circumstances, developments, discussions and negotiations on a reasonably current basis, including any amendments, supplements or modifications to, or revisions of, the terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, proposal, discussions or negotiations.

5.09 Further Action; Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Effective Time, each party hereto shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper, or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate the Merger and the other Contemplated Transactions and the Parent Share Issuance and the issuance of the New Parent Equity Awards as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree to, or to cause their ultimate parent entity (as such term is defined in the HSR Act) to, (i) make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the Merger within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date of the Agreement, (ii) make, or cause to be made, the filings, forms, submissions, applications, licenses or notices required or advisable (A) under any applicable licensing Laws, (B) in connection with any review or investigation pursuant to any applicable foreign direct investment Laws of the United States and non-U.S. jurisdictions, (C) under the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act, or (D) to obtain the Australian Waivers, in each case as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement and (iii) supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and material that may be requested by a Governmental Body pursuant to the HSR Act or any other applicable Law. Parent shall, with the reasonable cooperation of the Company, be responsible for making any filing or notification required or advisable under foreign Antitrust Laws (final or in draft as the case may be) as promptly as possible after the date of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and Parent in writing. The parties hereto shall also consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and subject to appropriate mechanisms to deal with the exchange of competitively sensitive information, provide to the other parties hereto in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of such party in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Laws. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the parties hereto agree (1) to give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings with any Governmental Body relating to the Contemplated Transactions, (2) to give each other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings, unless prohibited by such Governmental Body, (3) to the extent reasonably practicable, to give each other reasonable advance notice of all substantive oral communications with any Governmental Body relating to the Contemplated Transactions, (4) if any Governmental Body initiates a substantive oral communication regarding the Contemplated Transactions, to promptly notify the other party of the substance of such communication, (5) to provide each other with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon (and to consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by the other party upon) all substantive written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals) with a Governmental Body regarding the Contemplated Transactions and (6) to provide each other with copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Body relating to the Contemplated Transactions. Any such disclosures or provision of copies by one party to the other may be made, subject to restrictions to address confidential and/or competitively sensitive information, and on an outside counsel basis, if appropriate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall have the right to control the strategy for obtaining all approvals and clearances sought by any filings applicable to the HSR Act and shall have the right to take the lead in coordinating the timing and content of all productions to, and all such filings, meetings and communications with, any Governmental Body in connection with obtaining any such approvals and clearances; provided Parent shall consider in good faith the views of the Company with respect to such strategy, coordination, content, analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, and proposals made or submitted in connection with obtaining any such approvals and clearances.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 5.09(a), Parent shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, use reasonable best efforts to take any and all actions necessary to obtain any consents, clearances, or approvals required under or in connection with the HSR Act and any other federal or state law, regulation, or decree designed to prohibit, restrict, or regulate actions for the purpose or effect of lessening competition (collectively “Antitrust Laws”) to enable all waiting periods under applicable Antitrust Laws to expire, and to avoid or eliminate impediments under applicable Antitrust Laws asserted by any Governmental Body, in each case, to cause the Merger to occur prior to the Termination Date, including (i) promptly complying with any requests for additional information (including any second request) by any Governmental Body, (ii) if necessary to obtain clearance by any Governmental Body before the Termination Date, offering, negotiating, committing to, and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order, or otherwise, the sale, divestiture, license, or other disposition of any and all of the capital stock, assets, equity holdings, rights, products, or businesses of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries), and any other restrictions on the activities of Parent and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries) (each, a “Remedy”); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, neither Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to undertake or agree to undertake any (A) Burdensome Condition or (B) any other action with respect to any Remedy if such Remedy is not conditioned upon effectiveness of the Contemplated Transactions; provided, further, that, upon Parent’s request, the Company shall take any of the actions referred to above (or agree to take such actions) if such actions are only effective from and after the Effective Time; provided, further that the Company shall not take any actions referred to above (or agree to take such actions), without the written consent of Parent.

(c) Parent and the Company shall not take, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not take, any action or omit to take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay clearance by any Governmental Body under any Antitrust Laws or to make clearance by any Governmental Body under Antitrust Laws before the Termination Date materially less probable. Each of Parent and the Company shall bear any fees payable to any Governmental Body in connection with any filings that are made by such party to obtain clearance under any Antitrust Law for the consummation of the Merger.

(d) Without limiting the obligations in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 5.09, in the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Body challenging the Merger, each of Parent and the Company shall cooperate in all respects with each other and shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any Governmental Order, whether temporary, preliminary, or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Merger.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, except as contemplated by Section 5.09(f), each party hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any consents, approvals, or waivers of third parties with respect to any Contracts to which it or any of its respective Subsidiaries is a party (including making any payments that would be required in connection with a transfer of a “Substantial Ownership Interest” as defined in the Angel Loan Fund Agreement) as may be necessary for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions or required by the terms of any Contract as a result of the execution, performance, or consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; provided, that, in no event will the Company, Parent or its applicable Subsidiaries be required to pay, prior to the Effective Time, any fee, penalty, or other consideration or make any other financial accommodation to any third party to obtain any consent, approval, or waiver required with respect to any such Contract.

(f) The Company shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives to, upon the reasonable request of Parent, provide reasonable cooperation to Parent in connection with (i) an amendment or waiver, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the Existing Credit Agreement to waive the “Change in Control” and any other “Event of Default” (each as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement, as applicable) that will occur upon the consummation of the Merger in order to permit the consummation of the Merger (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) or (ii) the entry into a new credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), to be effective no earlier than the Effective Time, by Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries (including requesting, and using commercially reasonable efforts to cause, the Company’s Representatives to furnish any customary certificates in connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment or New Credit Agreement); provided, that (A) the Company shall not be required to pay, prior to the Effective Time, any fee, penalty or other consideration or make any other financial accommodation to any third party, or pay Parent’s commitment or other similar fee in connection with the Credit Agreement Amendment or the New Credit Agreement, (B) the effectiveness of any documentation executed by the Company, with respect to the Credit Agreement Amendment or the New Credit Agreement, the attachment of any Lien to any assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any payoff of existing indebtedness shall be subject to the consummation of the Merger, and (C) no director or officer of the Company shall be required to execute any agreement, certificate, document or instrument with respect to the Credit Agreement Amendment or New Credit Agreement that would be effective prior to the Closing (other than certifications of the financial statements). Parent and Xxxxxx Sub each acknowledge and agree that it is not a condition to Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger or to any of their other obligations under this Agreement that the Credit Agreement Amendment or the New Credit Agreement be executed.

(g) Subject to the conditions and upon the terms of this Agreement, each of Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each approval, consent, ratification, permission and waiver of authorization required to be obtained by Parent or the Company from a Governmental Body in relation to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

5.10 Employee and Labor Matters.

(a) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation and each of its other Subsidiaries to, for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time, to maintain for each individual who is an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time (a “Company Employee”), for so long as such Company Employee remains employed by the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries during such period, (i) each of base salary or base wage rate and a target annual cash incentive compensation opportunity at least as favorable as that provided to the Company Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) employee benefits (excluding equity-based awards) that are at least substantially comparable in the aggregate as the employee benefits maintained for and provided to the Company Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding equity-based awards) and (iii) subject to the requirements of the ASX Listing Rules and Corporations Act, severance benefits that are at least as favorable as the severance benefits provided to the Company Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) For all purposes under the Parent Plans or other benefit plans maintained or sponsored by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries providing benefits to any employees after the Effective Time, each Company Employee will be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries before the Effective Time for purposes of vesting, benefits eligibility and level of benefits, to the same extent as such employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Plan; provided, however, that such service crediting will not be required to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits or under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical or insurance plan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to use commercially reasonable efforts, to (i) cause Company Employees to not be subject to any eligibility requirements, waiting periods, actively-at-work requirements or pre-existing condition limitations under any employee benefit plan of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries for any condition for which they would have been entitled to coverage under the corresponding Company Plan in which they participated prior to the Effective Time and (ii) credit under all employee benefit plans any eligible expenses incurred by such Company Employees and their covered dependents under a Company Plan during the portion of the year prior to the Effective Time for purposes of satisfying all co-payment, co-insurance, deductibles, maximum out-of-pocket requirements and other out-of-pocket expenses applicable to such Company Employees and their covered dependents in respect of the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs. Nothing in this Agreement will (A) create any right to employment, continued employment, or any term or condition of employment with Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, or their respective Affiliates, (B) prevent the termination of employment of any Company Employee, (C) constitute or require the establishment, adoption or termination of, or amendment to, any Company Plan, Parent Plan, or other employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement or (D) confer upon any Company Employee or any other Person any third-party beneficiary or similar rights or remedies.

5.11 Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

(a) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation from liabilities of present and former directors, officers, and employees of the Company than are provided in the Company Organizational Documents as of the date hereof, which provisions may not be amended, repealed, or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals until six (6) years from the Effective Time, and, in the event that any Action is pending or asserted or any claim made during such period, until the disposition of any such Action or claim, unless such amendment, modification, or repeal (or other change to such indemnification, advancement of expenses, and exculpation provisions) is necessary to comply with applicable Law, in which case Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, make such changes to the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws as to have the least adverse effect on the rights of the individuals referenced in this Section 5.11.

(b) Without limiting any additional rights that any Person may have under any agreement or Company Plan, from and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, for the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent that the Company would be permitted to do so by applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless each present (as of the Effective Time) or former director or officer of the Company when acting in such capacity (each, together with such director’s or officer’s heirs, executors, or administrators, an “Indemnified Party”), against all obligations to pay a judgment, settlement, or penalty, and reasonable expenses incurred in connection with any Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, and whether formal or informal, in each case, arising out of or pertaining to any action or omission occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, including any action or omission in connection with the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the Company or its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, would have been required under applicable Law and its respective certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational documents in effect on the date of this Agreement to indemnify such Person. In the event of any such Action, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Indemnified Party is entitled to advancement of reasonable expenses incurred in the defense of the Action from the Surviving Corporation and Parent (provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced will have provided to the extent required by applicable Law, an undertaking (in a reasonable and customary form) to repay such advances if it is finally determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may purchase prior to the Effective Time, and if the Company does not purchase prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall purchase at or after the Effective Time, a tail policy under the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained at such time by the Company, which tail policy (i) will be effective for a period from the Effective Time through and including the date six (6) years after the Effective Time with respect to claims arising from facts or events that existed or occurred prior to or at the Effective Time and (ii) will contain coverage that is at least as protective to such directors and officers as the coverage provided by such existing policies; provided, that, the aggregate premium for such tail policy will not be in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect for their full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Without limiting any of the rights or obligations under this Section 5.11, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall keep in full force and effect, and shall comply with the terms and conditions of, any agreement set forth on Section 5.11(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter providing for the indemnification of such Indemnified Party, and Parent hereby guarantees the obligations of the Surviving Corporation pursuant to such agreements.

(e) This Section 5.11 will survive the consummation of the Merger and is intended to benefit, and is enforceable by, any Person referred to in this Section 5.11. The indemnification and advancement provided for in this Section 5.11 is not exclusive of any other rights to which the Indemnified Party is entitled whether pursuant to Law, contract, or otherwise. If the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity resulting from such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall make proper provision such that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation assume the applicable obligations set forth in this Section 5.11.

5.12 Public Disclosure. The initial press release relating to this Agreement will be a joint press release and thereafter, Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing (or permitting any Affiliate to issue), and provide the other party the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon (and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by the other party on), any ASX announcements, press release or other public statements with respect to (a) this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions or (b) the other party’s (or its Subsidiaries’) respective business, financial condition or results of operations (a “Public Transaction Disclosure”), in each case, except (i) as required by applicable Law or a Governmental Body, (ii) as necessary to satisfy its disclosure obligations imposed by any applicable public stock exchange, the ASX Listing Rules, or any other similar self-regulatory organization or (iii) disclosures that contain only statements concerning this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions or the other party’s (or its Subsidiaries’) respective business, financial condition or results of operations, in each case, that are consistent with and limited in all material respects to the statements contained in previous Public Transaction Disclosures. The restrictions of this Section 5.12 do not apply to communications in connection with and following a Company Adverse Recommendation Change made in compliance with Section 5.07 (solely for the period of time when such Company Adverse Recommendation Change remains in effect) or a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change made in accordance with Section 5.08 (solely for the period of time when such Parent Adverse Recommendation Change remains in effect).

5.13 Advice of Changes. Parent and the Company shall each promptly advise the other party of any Effect that (a) has had or is reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect (in the case of the Company) or a Parent Material Adverse Effect (in the case of Parent) or (b) would or would reasonably be expected to cause, in the case of the Company, any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 not to be satisfied, or, in the case of Parent, any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.03 not to be satisfied; provided that any failure to give notice in accordance with the foregoing with respect to any breach shall not be deemed to constitute a failure of any condition set forth in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03 to be satisfied, or otherwise constitute a breach of this Agreement by the party failing to give such notice, in each case, unless the underlying breach would independently result in a failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 or Section 6.03 not to be satisfied.

5.14 Stock Exchange Listings. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause (a) the Parent Ordinary Shares to be issued in the Merger to be approved for official quotation on the ASX subject to the lodgment by Parent of an Appendix 2A form on or as soon as practicable after the Effective Time and (b) the Parent ADRs to be approved for listing on any national securities exchange as may be reasonably selected by Parent prior to the Closing Date (the “Exchange”), subject to official notice of the proposed issuance, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Closing Date.

5.15 Takeover Laws. Prior to the Effective Time, if any Takeover Law may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Contemplated Transactions, each of Parent and the Company and the members of its respective board of directors (but only in their capacities as directors), to the extent permissible under applicable Law, shall grant such approvals and take such actions, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, as are necessary so that the Contemplated Transactions and the Parent Share Issuance and the issuance of the New Parent Equity Awards may be consummated as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the Termination Date, on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby and otherwise, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, act to eliminate the effect of any Takeover Law on any of the Contemplated Transactions, the Parent Share Issuance and the issuance of the New Parent Equity Awards.

5.16 Section 16. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board shall approve the disposition of the Company equity securities (including derivative securities) in connection with the Merger by those directors and officers of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent necessary for such disposition to be an exempt disposition pursuant to SEC Rule 16b-3.

5.17 Tax Matters.

(a) For U.S. federal income tax purposes, it is intended that (v) the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, (w) with respect to the Merger, this Agreement will constitute a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code, (x) with respect to the Merger, Parent will be treated as a corporation under Section 367(a) of the Code with respect to each transfer of property thereto in connection with the Merger (other than a transfer by a shareholder that is a U.S. Person and that holds five percent (5%) or more of Parent (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(a)-3(b)(1)(i)) immediately following the Merger), (y) with respect to the Merger, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub will each be a party to the reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, and (z) Parent should not be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes by reason of Section 7874(b) of the Code as a result of the Contemplated Transactions (the qualifications and other matters referred to in clauses (v) through (z), collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Each of Parent and the Company shall, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, cooperate with each other and use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the Intended Tax Treatment to be obtained, including by refraining from any action, other than as contemplated by this Agreement (including the exhibits and schedules hereto, the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter), that such party knows is reasonably likely to prevent the Intended Tax Treatment. Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP and Ropes & Gray LLP (or such other advisors) customary representation letters reasonably requested by such counsel (or other advisors), dated and executed as of the date the Registration Statement becomes effective or such other date(s) as reasonably requested by such counsel (or such other advisors) in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement and the documentation by the parties of the Intended Tax Treatment. Upon request of the Company, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly provide all necessary information, assistance and cooperation, including customary representation letters, as may be reasonably requested in connection with obtaining a written opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP, or such other nationally recognized Tax counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, to the effect that the tax treatment described in Sections 5.17(a)(v), 5.17(a)(w), 5.17(a)(x) and 5.17 (a)(y) should apply with respect to the Merger and the transfer of the Company Shares (such opinion, the “Company Tax Opinion”), and/or in connection with obtaining a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service related to matters to be addressed with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment (such ruling, the “IRS Ruling”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Company Tax Opinion may rely on the IRS Ruling and such customary representation letters.

(b) Prior to the date on which the Closing Date is determined or 10 business days prior to the Closing Date (whichever is later), the Company shall have the right to provide to Parent written notice that the Company elects to cause the Merger to not qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If and to the extent such notice is provided, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent shall take such action as is reasonably necessary to cause Merger Sub to be directly and wholly owned for U.S. federal income tax purposes by an entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that is not Parent, which is in turn directly owned by an entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that is not Parent, it being understood that, notwithstanding the Intended Tax Treatment, the intention thereof is to cause the Merger to be taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(c) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent a properly completed and executed (i) certification that meets the requirements of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.897-2(h)(1) and 1.1445-2(c)(3), dated not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) notice to the Internal Revenue Service, in accordance with the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.897-2(h)(2), together with written authorization for Parent to deliver such notice and the original certification to the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of the Company after the Closing. The Company’s obligation to deliver such certificate shall not be considered an obligation under this Agreement for purposes of Article 6, but if the Company fails to deliver such certificate, Parent shall have the right, pursuant to Section 1.11, to withhold any amounts required to be withheld under Section 1445 of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(d) Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, in connection with the Merger, comply with the reporting requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.367(a)-3(c)(6).

(e) In order to give effect to the scrip for scrip rollover relief under subdivision 124-M of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (“ITAA 1997”) (the “Rollover Provisions”), Parent agrees that (i) it will not, as the Replacement Entity, make a choice under subsection 124-795(4) of the ITAA 1997 in relation to the exchange of the Company Shares by the Company Stockholders for the Parent Ordinary Shares, (ii) it will be at the Closing the ‘ultimate holding company’ of the ‘wholly-owned group’ in which Merger Sub is a member (as those terms are defined in section 995-1 of the ITAA 1997), (iii) it will not and must procure that no member of the wholly owned group referred to in clause (ii) will issue equity (other than the Parent Ordinary Shares), or owe new debt, such that the stockholders of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time may be denied roll-over relief under the Rollover Provisions due to a failure of the condition in paragraph 124-780(3)(f) of the ITAA 1997.

(f) Through the end of Parent’s tax year ending in 2024, Parent shall review its Tax status at least annually with qualified United States Tax advisors in order to determine whether or not Parent is a PFIC within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code. This determination shall be made no later than January 31 of the following calendar year. If Parent determines that it is a PFIC, Parent shall notify its shareholders of such determination and, with respect to such PFIC, for the first taxable year to which such determination applies and for each taxable year thereafter through the end of Parent’s tax year ending in 2024, Parent shall promptly, but in no event later than January 31 of the following calendar year, provide the shareholders with a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.1295-1(g)), which shall be signed by the PFIC or an authorized representative of the PFIC and which shall set forth the following information: (i) the first and last days of the taxable year of the PFIC; (ii) each shareholder’s pro rata shares of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.1293-1(a)(2)) of the PFIC for the taxable year indicated in clause (i) above; (iii) the amount of cash and the fair market value of other property distributed or deemed distributed to the shareholder during the taxable year of the PFIC to which the PFIC Annual Information Statement pertains; (iv) the statement that the PFIC will permit the shareholders to inspect and copy the PFIC’s permanent books of account, records, and such other documents as may be maintained by the PFIC to establish that the PFIC’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain are computed in accordance with U.S. federal income tax principles, and to verify these amounts and the shareholder’s pro rata shares thereof; and (v) such other information as may be required under applicable Treasury Regulations.

5.18 Stockholder Litigation. Each of the Company and Parent shall (a) provide the other party hereto, as applicable, prompt written notice (including reasonable details and any written demands or filings in respect of) of any Action by (or on behalf of) any stockholder (or purported stockholder) of such party that (i) questions or challenges, or would reasonably be expected to question or challenge, the validity of this Agreement or the other transactions or agreements contemplated hereby or any actions taken or to be taken by Parent, the Parent Board (or any committee thereof), the Company, the Company Board (or any committee thereof), any Affiliate of Parent or the Company and/or any director, officer or employee of the foregoing, in each case, in respect of this Agreement, the agreements contemplated hereby or the Contemplated Transactions or (ii) seeks to enjoin or otherwise restrain the Contemplated Transactions and (b) promptly update the other party as to the status and any developments with respect to any such Action. The Company shall (A) give Parent the opportunity to participate (at Parent’s own expense) in the defense or settlement of any such Action against the Company, its Affiliates, the Company Board (or any committee thereof) and/or any director, officer or employee of the Company or its Affiliates and (B) not agree (or commit to agree) to any settlement or resolution of any such Action without Parent’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(iv) In the event that, prior to the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.01, (A) an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not conditional) with respect to Parent and/or its Subsidiaries has been made (x) known to senior management or the Parent Board (or any committee thereof) or (y) directly to the Parent Stockholders (generally), or any Person shall have publicly announced such an Acquisition Proposal or the intention to make such an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not conditional), (B) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.01(d)(ii) (and this Agreement was then terminable under Section 7.01(d)(iv)), or Section 7.01(d)(iv) and (C) concurrently with, or within twelve (12) months after, any such termination described in the foregoing subclause (B), Parent or any of its Subsidiaries enters into a definitive agreement (regardless of whether a transaction is consummated) with respect to, or otherwise consummates, any Acquisition Proposal with respect to Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as that referred to in the foregoing subclause (A)), then Parent shall, on the earlier of the date it enters into such definitive agreement and the date of the consummation of such transaction, pay to the Company the Parent Termination Fee. For purposes of this Section 7.03(b)(iv), fifty percent (50%) shall be substituted for the twenty percent (20%) threshold set forth in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal.”

(v) Except in the event of fraud or an Intentional Breach, the Company’s right to receive the one-time payment of the Parent Termination Fee or the Reimbursable Expenses, as applicable (if and when due), from Parent as provided in this Section 7.03(b) will be the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Company against Parent or any of its former, current or future equityholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or Representatives with respect to this Agreement, the Contemplated Transactions, the Parent Share Issuance and the issuance of the New Parent Equity Awards in the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company under circumstances requiring the payment of the Termination Fee or the Reimbursable Expenses pursuant to this Section 7.03(b), and, upon such payment of the Parent Termination Fee or Reimbursable Expenses, as applicable (if and when due), none of Parent’s or any of its former, current or future equityholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, agents or Representatives will have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in no event will Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee or the Reimbursable Expenses on more than one occasion.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.03 are an integral part of the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent would enter into this Agreement and (iii) the Termination Fee and the Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty. Accordingly, if either party fails promptly to pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.03 (such party, the “Defaulting Party”), and, in order to obtain such payment, the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) commences an Action that results in a judgment against the Defaulting Party for the payment set forth in this Section 7.03, the Defaulting Party shall pay to the Non-Defaulting Party its costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such Action, together with interest on the Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, and such costs, fees and expenses to be reimbursed to the Non-Defaulting Party under this Section 7.03(c), in each case, from the date payment was required to be made until the date of such payment is actually made (at the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made).

(d) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to a provision that calls for a payment to be made under this Section 7.03, it will not be a defense to the obligation of either the Company or Parent to pay hereunder that this Agreement could have been terminated under a different provision or could have been terminated at an earlier or later time.
