The register of members of the Company will be amended accordingly.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company which shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the benefit of the holders of Shares. At the Effective Time (or in the case of Section 3.05, when ascertained), Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares, Company Options, Company Restricted Shares and Company Restricted Share Units, a cash amount in immediately available funds sufficient for the Paying Agent to make payments under Section 3.01(a), Section 3.04(b), Section 3.04(c) and Section 3.05 (such aggregate cash amount being hereafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”, and in the case of payments under Section 3.05, an amount equal to the number of Dissenting Shares multiplied by the Merger Consideration).

Except as contemplated by Section 3.02(d), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as specified in this Section 3.02(a).

(b) Payment Procedures.

(i) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but in any event no later than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01(a): (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form for a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, and shall specify the manner in which the delivery of the Exchange Fund to registered holders of Shares (other than the Excluded Shares and the Dissenting Shares) shall be effected and contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company may

mutually agree) and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Shares pursuant to such letter of transmittal. At the Effective Time, Parent shall also cause the Paying Agent to deliver to the Surviving Company a cash amount in immediately available funds sufficient to make the payments described under Section 3.04(b) and Section 3.04(c) and the Surviving Company shall make such payments to the Persons entitled to receive such amounts through its payroll or the designated agent of such Persons, subject to all applicable income and employment Taxes and other authorized deductions (including pursuant to Section 3.06) as well as completeness of registrations under SAFE Share Incentive Rules and Regulations.

ARTICLE VII

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 7.01 Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement the Company shall (i) prepare and file with the SEC the Schedule 13E-3 and a proxy statement relating to this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the Transactions (such proxy statement, as amended or supplemented, being referred to herein as the “Proxy Statement”); (ii) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC with respect to the Schedule 13E-3 and the Proxy Statement; (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to have the SEC confirm that it has no further comments thereto; (iv) cause a letter to shareholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy accompanying the Proxy Statement that will be provided to the holders of Shares in connection with the solicitation of proxies for use at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, to be mailed to the holders of Shares at the earliest practicable date after the date that the SEC confirms it has no further comments; and (v) otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements of Law applicable to the Company

Shareholders’ Meeting and the Merger; provided, however, that no filing of the Schedule 13E-3, the Proxy Statement, any amendments or supplements thereto, or any response to the SEC will be made by the Company unless Parent and its counsel has had a reasonable opportunity to review and propose comments which the Company shall consider in good faith; provided, further, however, that nothing in this Section 7.01(a) shall limit or preclude the ability of the Company Board (or the Special Committee) to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation. Unless the Company Board (or the Special Committee) has effected a Change in the Company Recommendation, the Company and Parent shall cooperate to: (A) respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to such filings; (B) prepare and file any amendments or supplements necessary to be filed in response to any SEC comments or as required by Law; and (C) file and distribute to the shareholders of the Company any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement if any event shall occur or any information be discovered which requires such action at any time prior to the Company Shareholders’ Meeting. The Company will cause the information relating to the Company for inclusion in the Schedule 13E-3 and the Proxy Statement, at the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no representation, warranty, covenant or agreement is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by Parent for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement.

(b) Parent shall provide to the Company all information concerning Parent, Midco and Merger Sub as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the Schedule 13E-3 and the Proxy Statement and shall otherwise assist and cooperate with the Company in the preparation of the Schedule 13E-3 and the Proxy Statement and resolution of comments of the SEC or its staff related thereto. Parent will cause the information relating to Parent, Midco or Merger Sub supplied by it for inclusion in the Schedule 13E-3 and the Proxy Statement, at the time of the mailing of the Proxy Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, and at the time of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is made by Parent, Midco or Merger Sub with respect to information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy Statement. Each of Parent, Midco and Merger Sub will furnish to the Company the information relating to it required by the Exchange Act to be set forth in the Schedule 13E-3 and the Proxy Statement promptly following request therefor from the Company.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, and subject to compliance with the terms of Section 7.03, in connection with any disclosure regarding a Change in the Company Recommendation, the Company shall not be required to provide Parent, Midco or Merger Sub the opportunity to review or comment on (or include comments proposed by Parent, Midco or Merger Sub in) the Schedule 13E-3 or the Proxy Statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any comments thereon or any other filing by the Company with the SEC, with respect to such disclosure.

Section 7.02 Company Shareholders’ Meeting.

(a) Subject to Section 9.01, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the Schedule 13E-3 and Proxy Statement, the Company shall take, in accordance with applicable Law and its memorandum and articles of association, all action reasonably necessary to call, give notice of, set a record date for, and convene the Company Shareholders’ Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval.

(b) The Company may, and Parent may request that the Company, adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders’ Meeting for up to thirty (30) days (but in any event no later than five Business Days prior to the End Date), (x) if as of the time for which the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the Proxy Statement) there are insufficient Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) (A) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting or (B) voting in favor of approval of this Agreement and the Transactions to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval or (y) in order to allow reasonable additional time for (1) the filing and mailing of, at the reasonable request of any party hereto, any supplemental or amended disclosure and (2) such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Company’s shareholders prior to the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, in which event the Company shall, in each case, cause the Company Shareholders’ Meeting to be adjourned or postponed. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that subsequent to the date hereof, the Company Board makes a Change in the Company Recommendation and/or authorizes the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii) or Section 9.01(d)(iii), the Company shall not be required to convene the Company Shareholders’ Meeting and submit this Agreement to the holders of the Shares for approval.

(c) Once the Company has established the record date, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Company Shareholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), unless required to do so by applicable Law, the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, or failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law. In the event that the date of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or postponed or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that, unless Parent shall have otherwise approved in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), it shall implement such adjournment or postponement or other delay in such a way that the Company does not establish a new record date for the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, as so adjourned, postponed or delayed, except as required by applicable Law, the memorandum and articles of Company, or failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(d) Unless there has been a Change in the Company Recommendation pursuant to Section 7.03(d), the Company Board shall (i) make the Company Recommendation and include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary in accordance with applicable Law and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company, to solicit the Company

Shareholder Approval. Upon reasonable request of Parent, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to advise Parent on a daily basis on each of the last ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, as to the aggregate tally of the proxies received by the Company with respect to the Company Shareholder Approval.

Section 7.03 No Solicitation of Transactions; Company Board Recommendation; Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(B) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any non-public information or data concerning, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person (other than Parent, Midco, Merger Sub or any designees of Parent, Midco or Merger Sub) with the intent to induce the making, submission or announcement of, or the intent to encourage, facilitate or assist, an Acquisition Proposal;

(C) approve, endorse, recommend, execute or enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) providing for, relating to, or reasonably be expected to result in any Acquisition Proposal;

(D) amend or grant any waiver or release (but the Company may grant any consent) under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries; or

(E) propose or agree to do any of the foregoing.

(ii) The Company agrees, and the Company Board shall direct, that the Company and its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly request each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of acquiring (whether by merger, acquisition of shares or assets or otherwise) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement,

destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives may, following the receipt of an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 7.03:

(i) contact the Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal to clarify and understand the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal;

(ii) provide information (including any non-public information or data concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) in response to the request of the Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal, if and only if, prior to providing such information, the Company has received from the Person or group of Persons so requesting such information an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (a copy of which shall be promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) provided to Parent); provided that the Company shall concurrently make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is provided to any Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal that is given such access and that was not previously made available to Parent or its Representatives; and/or

(iii) engage or participate through the Special Committee in any discussions or negotiations with the Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal;

provided that prior to taking any action described in Section 7.03(b)(ii) or Section 7.03(b)(iii) above, the Company Board (or the Special Committee) shall have determined in good faith, based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal either constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 7.03(d), neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend or modify in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Recommendation or (B) adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, or (C) take any action or make any other public statement in connection with the Company Shareholders’ Meeting inconsistent with the Company Recommendation (any of such actions described in foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C) being referred to as a “Change in the Company Recommendation”); provided, however, that a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or the Special Committee) pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or any substantially similar communication with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, which did not result from any breach of this Section 7.03,

shall not be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation or (ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement but subject to compliance by the Company with this Section 7.03, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board (or the Special Committee) may (i) effect a Change in the Company Recommendation and/or (ii) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, if and only if:

(i) (1) with respect to a Change in the Company Recommendation, the Company Board (or the Special Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws or (2) with respect to a termination of this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 7.03, the Company Board (or the Special Committee) determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and that failure to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws;

(ii) prior to effecting a Change in the Company Recommendation or terminating this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.03(d), (A) the Company shall have provided prior written notice (the “Change or Termination Notice”) to Parent that the Company Board (or the Special Committee) has resolved to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d)(ii) or Section 9.01(d)(iii), describing in reasonable detail the reasons for such Change in the Company Recommendation or termination (which notice shall specify, if related to an Acquisition Proposal, the identity of the party making the Acquisition Proposal and the material terms thereof and copies of all relevant documents (other than redacted terms of financing documents) relating to such Acquisition Proposal), and (B) the Company shall (1) cause its financial and legal advisors to, during the period beginning at 5:00 p.m. Hong Kong Time on the day of delivery by the Company to Parent of such Change or Termination Notice (or, if delivered after 5:00 p.m. Hong Kong Time or any day other than a Business Day, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Hong Kong Time on the next Business Day) and ending five (5) Business Days later at 5:00 p.m. Hong Kong Time (the “Notice Period”) negotiate with Parent and its Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) any proposed modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the Financing Documents so that such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal or so that the failure to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation would no longer be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, and (2) permit Parent and its Representatives during the Notice Period to make a presentation to the Company Board and the Special Committee regarding this Agreement and/or the Financing Documents and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Parent desires to make such presentation); provided that,

with respect to a Change in the Company Recommendation made in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or a termination of this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement, in the event of any material revisions to the Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall deliver a new written notice to Parent and comply again with the requirements of this Section 7.03(d)(ii) with respect to such new written notice; provided, further, that with respect to the new written notice to Parent, the Notice Period shall be deemed to be a three (3) Business-Day period rather than the five (5) Business-Day period first described above;

(iii) following the end of the Notice Period (and any renewed period thereof), the Company Board (or the Special Committee) shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel), after considering the terms of any proposed amendment or modification to this Agreement and/or the Financing Documents, that (1) with respect to a Change in the Company Recommendation, failure to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation would still reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws or (2) with respect to a termination of this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and failure to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Acquisition Proposal would still reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws; and

(iv) in the case of the Company terminating this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, the Company shall have paid, or caused the payment of, the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 9.03(a) and the Parent Expenses in accordance with Section 9.03(f).

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 7.03 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company or the Company Board (or the Special Committee), from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal; provided that (i) the Board shall, until any Change in Company Recommendation, expressly reaffirm the Company Recommendation in such disclosure; and (ii) if such disclosure includes a Change in the Company Recommendation or has the substantive effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation (it being understood that a statement that the Company Board or the Special Committee has received and is currently evaluating such Acquisition Proposal and/or describing the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto, or any “stop, look and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, in each case, which is consistent with this Section 7.03, shall not be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation).

(f) The Company agrees that it will promptly (and, in any event, within 24 hours) notify Parent if it or to its Knowledge any of its Representatives becomes aware that any Acquisition Proposal is received by, any non-public information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Company, the

Company Board (or any committee thereof) or any Representative of the foregoing, indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making such offer or proposal and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed and the status of any such discussions or negotiations (including copies of all material written correspondence relating to such Acquisition Proposal or requests exchanged between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or request, on the other hand). None of the Company, the Company Board or any committee of the Company Board shall enter into any binding agreement or Contract with any Person to limit the Company’s ability to give prior notice to Parent of its intention to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation or to terminate this Agreement in light of a Superior Proposal.

Section 7.04 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) Except as otherwise prohibited by applicable Law or the terms of any contract or agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain any consent required under such contract or agreement in order that it may comply with the terms of this Section 7.04(a)), from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or the Effective Time, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, (i) provide to Parent and Parent’s Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon prior reasonable notice, to the officers, employees, agents, properties, offices and other facilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to the books and records (including Tax records and Tax and accounting working papers) thereof; and (ii) furnish Parent and its Representatives and the Financing Sources with such information concerning its business, properties, contracts, assets, liabilities, personnel and other data, analyses, projections, plans and information as Parent or its Representatives and the Financing Sources may reasonably request in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to provide access to or disclose any information if such access or disclosure would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, violate any Contract, Law or Order, or give a third party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under a Contract (provided that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy or violation).

(b) All information obtained by Parent pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein (including Section 9.02 and Section 10.04(a)) or the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, the parties hereto agree that restrictions contained in the last paragraph on page 3 (continued as the first paragraph on page 4) of the Confidentiality Agreement on communications, discussions, negations, arrangements or understandings by and among the parties to the Consortium Agreement, the parties to the Investment Agreement, the Financing Sources and any of their respective Affiliates and Representatives shall be inoperative and of no force and effect as of the date hereof.

(d) No investigation pursuant to this Section 7.04 shall affect any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

Section 7.05 Employee Benefits Matters. For the period beginning at the Effective Time and continuing through the first anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to provide employees of the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time with (a) reasonable levels of cash compensation (excluding equity compensation) that are, in the aggregate, consistent with the Company’s past practices and (b) reasonable employee benefits and arrangements that are, in the aggregate, consistent with the employee benefits and arrangements in effect as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to, in good faith, consider honoring in accordance with their terms, all Contracts, employee benefit plans and arrangements, policies, and commitments of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time that are applicable to any current or former employees or directors of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. Nothing contained herein, expressed or implied is intended to confer upon any Service Provider any benefits under any employee benefit plans or right to employment or continued employment with Parent or the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any period by reason of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 7.05 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and no current or former Service Provider or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing contained herein shall be construed as an amendment to any employee benefit plan for any purpose.

(a) The Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under (i) any indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provision set forth in any memorandum and articles of association or comparable organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement and (ii) all indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Parties”). In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) cause the memorandum and articles of association (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to exculpation, advancement of expenses and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the memorandum and articles of association (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof, and during such six year period, such provisions shall not be amended, repealed, or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b) From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent the Company would have been permitted to do so under applicable Law, Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of, relating to or in connection with (i) the fact that an Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to or at the Effective Time in such Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates, or (iii) the Merger, this Agreement or any of the Transactions; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Party delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under this Section 7.06(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent shall advance, prior to the final disposition of any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, promptly following request by an Indemnified Party therefor, all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Party delivers to Parent a written notice asserting a claim for advancement under this Section 7.06(b), then the right to advancement asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect. In the event that the Company does not elect to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 7.06(c), Parent and the Surviving Company shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the current annual premium paid by the Company (such three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”) (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 7.06(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule); provided that, if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Company

shall be obligated to obtain a substantially similar policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium.

(d) A Person seeking indemnification in accordance with this Section 7.06 shall promptly notify the Surviving Company to prevent the Surviving Company or any of its subsidiaries from being materially and adversely prejudiced by late notice. The right of the Surviving Company (or a Subsidiary nominated by it), if any, to participate in and/or assume the defense of any action or proceeding in respect of which indemnification is sought under this Section 7.06 shall be determined in accordance with the applicable agreement or document providing for such indemnification.

(e) In the event Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.06.

(f) The provisions of this Section 7.06 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be a third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 7.06.

(g) The agreements and covenants contained in this Section 7.06 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which any such Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, Contract or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees.

(e) The Company and Parent acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the Transactions and without the agreements contained in this Section 9.03, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, in the event that the Company or Parent shall fail to pay the Company Termination Fee, the Company Expenses, the Parent Termination Fee, or the Parent Expenses, as applicable, when due, and, in order to obtain the payment, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, commences an Action which results in a judgment against the other party for such payment, such paying party shall pay the other party its reasonably documented costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) in connection with such Action, together with interest on the amount of (i) the Company Termination Fee, the Company Expenses, the Parent Termination Fee, the Parent Expenses, as applicable, and (ii) such documented costs and expenses at the annual rate of five percent (5%) plus the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment is actually received.

Section 10.03 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by virtue of any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.04 Entire Agreement; Assignment.

(a) This Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto (including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Parent Disclosure Schedule), the Contribution Agreements, the Voting Agreements, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Guarantee and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, that the Confidentiality Agreement shall not be superseded, shall survive any termination of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect until the earlier to occur of (a) the Effective Time and (b) the date on which the Confidentiality Agreement expires in accordance with its terms or is validly terminated by the parties thereto.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent, Midco or Merger Sub may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (i) one or more of its Affiliates or (ii) any Financing Sources for the Debt Financing pursuant to the terms of such Debt Financing (including for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assigning as collateral in respect of such Debt Financing); provided, that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Parent, Midco or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent, Midco or Merger Sub. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 10.04(b) shall be null and void.

Section 10.05 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure solely to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, only the parties hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Section 7.06 (which is intended to be for the benefit of the Persons covered thereby); it being understood that such rights of third-party

beneficiaries under Section 7.06 shall not arise unless and until the Effective Time occurs) and for the Financing Sources for the Debt Financing and their respective successors, Representatives and permitted assigns with respect to their respective rights and third party benefits under this Section 10.05, Section 9.03(g), the second proviso to Section 9.04, Section 9.05, Section 10.04(b), Section 10.07(b) or Section 10.09.

Section 10.06 Specific Performance; Limitation on Damages.

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that a party does not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder in order to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to a party on the basis that (i) such party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. In seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, no party shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. Until such time as the Company pays the Company Termination Fee or Parent pays the Parent Termination Fee, as the case may be, the remedies available to each party pursuant to this Section 10.06 shall be in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the election to pursue an injunction or specific performance shall not restrict, impair or otherwise limit Parent, Midco or Merger Sub from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate this Agreement and collect the Company Termination Fee under Section 9.03(a) and Section 9.03(b) or the Company from, in the alternative, seeking to terminate this Agreement and collect the Parent Termination Fee under Section 9.03(c). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) under no circumstances will the Company be entitled to monetary damages in connection with this Agreement in excess of the aggregate amount of (I) Parent Termination Fee, and (II) any reimbursement obligation of Parent pursuant to Section 9.03(e) and Section 9.03(f), and (B) under no circumstances will Parent be entitled to monetary damages in excess of the aggregate amount of (I) the Company Termination Fee and (II) any reimbursement obligation of the Company pursuant to Section 9.03(e) and Section 9.03(f).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the Company to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief to cause Parent, Midco and Merger Sub to cause the Equity Financing to be funded simultaneously with the receipt of the Debt Financing (whether under this Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or the Guarantee) shall be subject to the requirements that:

(i) all the conditions to Closing contained in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are only capable of being satisfied at the Closing) or waived by Parent, Midco and Merger Sub,

(ii) the Debt Financing (and/or, in the event Alternative Debt Financing has been obtained in accordance with Section 7.15 for all or a portion of the Debt Financing, such Alternative Debt Financing) has been funded or would be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing, if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, and

(iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed to Parent in writing that if the Equity Financing and the Debt Financing were funded, it would take such actions that are within its control to cause the Closing to occur.

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Company or Parent be permitted or entitled to receive both (i) a grant of injunction, or other form of specific performance or equitable relief under this Section 10.06 and (ii) monetary damages, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee or the Company Termination Fee, as applicable.

Section 10.07 Governing Law.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (other than those provisions set forth in this Agreement that are required to be governed by the CICL). All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any New York state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York. The parties hereto hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of the City of New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts.

(b) With respect to any action or proceeding of any kind or description (whether in law or in equity and whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) against any Financing Source arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Transactions, the Debt Financing (including any Alternative Debt Financing), the Debt Financing Commitment (including in respect of any Alternative Debt Financing) or the performance of services thereunder, each of the parties hereto agrees that (i) such action or proceeding shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan and any appellate court therefrom, (ii) it shall not bring or permit any of its respective Affiliates to bring any action or proceeding referred to in this Section 10.07(b), or voluntarily support any other Person in bringing any such action or proceeding, in any other courts, (iii) it waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, on behalf of itself and each of its respective Affiliates, any right to trial by jury in respect of any such action or proceeding, (iv) it waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, on behalf of itself and each of its respective Affiliates, and agrees not to assert, and to cause its Affiliates not to assert, by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in

any such action or proceeding, any claim that it or such Affiliate is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its or such Affiliate’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the action or proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts and (v) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

Section 10.08 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission or pdf) in two (2) or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 10.09 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, the Debt Financing (including any Alternative Debt Financing) or the Debt Financing Commitment (including in respect of any Alternative Debt Financing). Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that no Representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Transactions, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 10.09.
