ARTICLE II.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK
OF THE CONSTITUENT CORPORATIONS

SECTION 2.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, the Merger Subs or the holders of any of the following securities:

(a) Conversion of Common Shares and Preferred Shares.

(i) Each share of Common Stock of the Company, par value US$0.001 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (each, a “Common Share” and together with the Preferred Shares, the “Shares”), other than (A) any Common Shares beneficially owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, (B) any Cancelled Shares (as defined herein) and (C) any Dissenting Shares (as defined herein), shall be converted into the right to receive US$4.90 in cash, without interest (subject to adjustment as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 7.2(a), the “Common Stock Merger Consideration”), payable to the holder thereof upon surrender of such Common Shares in the manner provided in Section 2.3; and

(ii) Each Preferred Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time, other than (A) any Preferred Shares beneficially owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, (B) any Cancelled Shares and (C) any Dissenting Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the sum of (x) US$0.15, plus (y) all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, thereon, whether or not declared, as of the Closing Date, plus (z) the Common Stock Merger Consideration (such sum, the “Preferred Stock Merger Consideration” and, collectively with the Common Stock Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

(b) Parent, Merger Subs and Company-Owned Shares. Each Share that is owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or the Merger Subs immediately prior to the First Effective Time, if any, or that is held in treasury by the Company immediately prior to the First Effective Time (collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”) shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange for such cancellation.

(c) Conversion of Merger Sub I Capital Stock. At the First Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub I or any other Person, each share of common stock, par value US$0.01 per share, of Merger Sub I that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged as a whole for a number of shares of common stock, par value US$0.001 per share, of the First Step Surviving Corporation (the “First Step Surviving Corporation Common Shares”) equal to the number of Common Shares (including all issued and outstanding Preferred Shares on an as-converted basis) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time,

and the First Step Surviving Corporation Common Shares shall be the only shares of the First Step Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the First Effective Time. From and after the First Effective Time, each certificate representing a number of shares of Merger Sub I common stock will evidence the number of shares of common stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation into which such shares shall have been so converted, until the same are surrendered for cancellation and exchange.

(d) Conversion of First Step Surviving Corporation Capital Stock. At the Second Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub II or any other Person, (i) each share of capital stock of the First Step Surviving Corporation that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be provided therefor; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Common Shares outstanding at the Second Effective Time as a result of the exercise of Options under the 2007 Plan or the 2010 Plan as contemplated pursuant to Section 2.2(a) shall receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration, and (ii) each share of capital stock of Merger Sub II issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time shall remain outstanding as an identical share of capital stock of the Second Step Surviving Corporation.

(e) Shares of Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Shares which are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time and are held by a Person (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who shall have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the applicable Merger Consideration, and the holders of such Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if such Dissenting Stockholder effectively withdraws its demand for appraisal or fails to perfect or otherwise loses its right of appraisal, in any case pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, its Shares shall be deemed to be converted as of the First Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, less any applicable withholding Taxes and without interest thereon, for each such Share in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. At the First Effective Time, any holder of Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL and as provided in the previous sentence. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any written demands or withdrawals of such demands for appraisal of Shares received by the Company and any other instruments served on the Company pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect thereto. For purposes of this Section 2.1(e), “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to demands for appraisal pursuant to the DGCL in respect of Dissenting Shares (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected), and Parent may offer comments or suggestions with respect to such demands but will not be afforded any decision-making power or other authority over such demands except as set forth in the succeeding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, between the date of this Agreement and the First Effective Time, the Company shall

not voluntarily make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands without Parent’s prior written consent.

SECTION 2.2 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Awards under the 2007 Plan and 2010 Plan.

(i) The Company shall, within five (5) Business Days of the date hereof, provide notice of the Merger to each holder of outstanding and unexercised options to purchase Common Shares (each, an “Option”) granted under the Diligent Board Member Services, Inc. 2007 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) or the Diligent Board Member Services, Inc. 2010 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”), informing such holder that during the period beginning with the date the holder receives the notice and ending at the Second Effective Time, such holder shall have the right to exercise all or any part of the unexercised portion of such Options (without regard to employment requirements or any installment exercise limitations). Each such Option, to the extent unexercised, shall be cancelled as of the Second Effective Time.

(ii) The Company, the Board and the Compensation Committee of the Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to (A) effectuate the provisions of Section 2.2(a)(i), (B) provide that each of the 2007 Plan and the 2010 Plan will terminate as of the Second Effective Time and (C) ensure that following the Second Effective Time no participant in the 2007 Plan or the 2010 Plan will have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of Parent, the Company, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Second Step Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

(b) Awards under the 2013 Plan.

(i) The Company shall provide that each Option granted under the Diligent Board Member Services, Inc. 2013 Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”) that is outstanding and unexercised at the First Effective Time (whether vested or unvested) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled as of the First Effective Time, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive a payment in cash equal to the product of (A) the number of Common Shares previously subject to such Option and (B) the excess, if any, of the Common Stock Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Common Share previously subject to such Option (the “Strike Price”), without interest and less any required withholding Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, any Option granted under the 2013 Plan that has an exercise price that equals or exceeds the Common Stock Merger Consideration shall be cancelled in accordance with this Section 2.2(b)(i) for no consideration. The Second Step Surviving Corporation shall pay, or cause an Affiliate to pay, either directly or through payroll, the holders of Options the cash payments described in this Section 2.2(b)(i) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and, in any event, no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date.

(ii) The Company shall provide that each Common Share granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan subject to vesting or other lapse restrictions (collectively, “Restricted Shares”) that is outstanding at the First Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled as of the First Effective Time, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash in respect of the cancellation of such Restricted Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of such Restricted Shares and (y) the Common Stock Merger Consideration, without interest and less any required withholding Taxes. The Second Step Surviving Corporation shall pay, or cause an Affiliate to pay, either directly or through payroll, the holders of Restricted Shares the cash payments described in this Section 2.2(b)(ii) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and, in any event, no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date.

(iii) The Company shall provide that each restricted stock unit granted under the 2013 Plan (each, a “RSU”) that is outstanding at the First Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled as of the First Effective Time and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash in respect of the cancellation of such RSU equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares subject to such RSU immediately prior to the First Effective Time and (y) the Common Stock Merger Consideration, without interest and less any required withholding Taxes. The Second Step Surviving Corporation shall pay, or cause an Affiliate to pay, either directly or through payroll, the holders of RSUs the cash payments described in this Section 2.2(b)(iii) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and, in any event, no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date.

(iv) The Company shall provide that each performance share unit granted under the 2013 Plan (each, a “PSU”) that is outstanding at the First Effective Time, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled as of the First Effective Time. With respect to each PSU for which the applicable performance period (including any cumulative performance period) has ended prior to the First Effective Time and for which the applicable performance goals (including any cumulative performance goals) or other vesting criteria were not satisfied as of the end of the applicable performance period, such PSUs shall be cancelled in accordance with this Section 2.2(b)(iv) for no consideration. With respect to (x) all PSUs for which the applicable performance period (including any cumulative performance period) has not ended prior to the First Effective Time, or (y) for which the applicable performance period has ended prior to the First Effective Time and the applicable performance goals and other vesting criteria were satisfied as of the end of the applicable performance period, in consideration for the cancellation of such PSU in accordance with this Section 2.2(b)(iv), the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive an amount in cash in respect of the cancellation of such PSU equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares subject to such PSU based on the achievement of the performance goals attributable to such PSU (determined assuming achievement of one hundred percent

The Second Step Surviving Corporation shall pay, or cause an Affiliate to pay, either directly or through payroll, the holders of PSUs the cash payments described in this Section 2.2(b)(iv) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and, in any event, no later than the first regularly scheduled payroll date that is at least two (2) Business Days after the Closing Date.

(v) At or prior to the First Effective Time, the Company, the Board and the Compensation Committee of the Board, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions which are necessary to (A) effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.2(b), (B) provide that the 2013 Plan will terminate as of the First Effective Time and (C) ensure that following the First Effective Time no participant in the 2013 Plan will have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of Parent, the Company, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Second Step Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Subsidiaries.

SECTION 2.3 Payment for Shares.

(a) Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Company’s share registrar to act as paying agent in connection with the First Merger (the “Paying Agent”) to receive payment of the Merger Consideration to which the stockholders of the Company shall become entitled pursuant to this Article II. At or immediately prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent in trust for the benefit of holders of Shares, sufficient funds to immediately pay the aggregate Merger Consideration. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds shall be held in trust in an interest bearing account with a New Zealand registered bank (such cash and any interest thereon, the “Exchange Fund”). Any interest or income produced by such investments will be payable to the Second Step Surviving Corporation or Parent, as Parent directs.

(b) Promptly following the Closing (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Second Step Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each record holder, as of the First Effective Time, of (i) an outstanding certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the First Effective Time represented Shares (the “Certificates”) or (ii) Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”), a form of letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form and shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates, or in the case of Book-Entry Shares the surrender of such Shares, for payment of the applicable Merger Consideration therefor; provided that (A) such letter shall be sent to a record holder only if such record holder’s Shares are certificated or if delivery of such letter of transmittal is required by applicable Law or the Paying Agent’s standard operating procedures in order to enable the payment of the applicable Merger Consideration or to effect the surrender of Book-Entry Shares; and (B) if no such letter is so required to be sent to that record holder, the Paying Agent will promptly, following Closing, proceed to arrange for the payment of the applicable

Merger Consideration to such record holder. If a letter of transmittal was sent to a record holder, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Certificate or of Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration for each Share formerly represented by such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares and such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall then be canceled. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares irrespective of whether a letter of transmittal was sent to that record holder. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Second Step Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3(b), each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the First Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article II.

(c) At any time following the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing, the Second Step Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) which have been made available to the Paying Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look to Parent and the Second Step Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) only as general creditors thereof with respect to the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3(c), none of the Paying Agent, Parent or the Second Step Surviving Corporation shall be liable to a holder of capital stock of the Company for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(d) The stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed on the Delisting Date and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares that were outstanding prior to the Delisting Date, with the exception of settlement transfers executed prior to the Delisting Date. After the First Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares presented to the Second Step Surviving Corporation for transfer shall be canceled and, if applicable, exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth in, this Article II.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any former holder of Shares pursuant to this Agreement any amount as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Tax (as defined herein) Laws.

(f) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the holder’s compliance with the reasonable replacement requirements established by the Paying Agent, including, if necessary, the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person that claims such Certificate to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and/or the posting by the holder of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to the Certificate, the Paying Agent will deliver in exchange for the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Shares represented by such Certificate pursuant to this Article II.

SECTION 2.4 Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the First Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding Shares (or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares) shall occur as a result of a conversion of Preferred Shares, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, merger or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such change.

SECTION 2.5 No Further Dividends or Distributions. No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Second Step Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Closing Date will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

The Company, prior to responding to SEC or NZX comments with respect to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing, will first provide Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and the Company will give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent or its counsel. Each of Parent, the Merger Subs and the Company agree to promptly correct any material information provided by it for use in the Proxy Statement or Other Required Company Filing that shall, to the Knowledge of such party, have become false or misleading. The Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable notify Parent of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the NZX with respect to the Proxy Statement or any Other Required Company Filing and any request by the SEC or the NZX for any amendment to the Proxy Statement or Other Required Company Filing or for additional information.

(d) If Parent, the Merger Subs or any of their respective Affiliates is required to file any document with the SEC or the NZX in connection with the Merger or the Stockholders Meeting pursuant to applicable Law (an “Other Required Parent Filing”), then Parent and the Merger Subs will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, promptly prepare and file such Other Required Parent Filing with the SEC or the NZX. Parent and the Merger Subs will cause, and will cause their respective Affiliates to cause, any Other Required Parent Filing to comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules of the SEC and the NZX Rules. Neither Parent or the Merger Subs nor any of their respective Affiliates may file any Other Required Parent Filing (or any amendment thereto) with the SEC or the NZX without first providing the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon, and Parent will give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company or its counsel.

SECTION 6.3 Resignation of Directors. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent of the resignation of all directors of the Company and, as specified by Parent reasonably in advance of the Closing, all directors of each Subsidiary of the Company, in each case, effective at the First Effective Time.

SECTION 6.4 Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) From the date hereof to the First Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement, upon reasonable prior written notice, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and each of their Representatives to, afford Parent and its Representatives reasonable access, at all reasonable business hours to its officers, employees, properties, offices, and other facilities and to all books and records, and shall furnish Parent with all financial, operating and other data and information as Parent, through its Representatives, may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such investigation or consultation shall be conducted in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by such employees of their normal duties. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to or to disclose information where such access or disclosure would, in the opinion of counsel, reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege or contravene any applicable Law.

(b) Each of Parent and each Merger Sub will hold and treat and will cause its Representatives to hold and treat in confidence all documents and information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries furnished to Parent or the Merger Subs in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, dated November 3, 2015, between the Company and Insight Venture Partners, LLC (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) which Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

SECTION 6.5 Acquisition Proposals.

(a) The Company shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to (whether directly or indirectly through Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, investment bankers, representatives, advisors or other intermediaries (“Representatives”)) nor shall (directly or indirectly) the Company authorize or permit any of its or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to: (i) directly or indirectly, initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage any inquiries with respect to, or the making of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) engage in any negotiations or discussions concerning, or provide access to its properties, books and records or any confidential information or data to, any Person relating to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) approve, endorse or recommend, or propose publicly to approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal or (v) agree to resolve to take, or take, any of the actions prohibited by the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv); provided, however, it is understood and agreed that any determination or action by the Board permitted under Section 6.5(b) or Section 6.5(e) shall not be deemed to be a breach or violation of this Section 6.5(a). From and after the date hereof, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and shall instruct its and their Representatives to, (A) immediately cease any and all existing activities, solicitations, discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the parties hereto) conducted heretofore with respect to any of the foregoing, (B) take such action as is necessary to enforce any confidentiality provisions or provisions of similar effect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a beneficiary and (C) not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any provision of any standstill agreement (including any standstill provision contained in any confidentiality or other agreement) to which the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party, unless, solely with respect to this clause (C), the Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board under applicable Law. The Company shall promptly after the date of this Agreement instruct each Person which has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal with or for the benefit of the Company to promptly return or destroy all confidential information, documents and materials relating to an Acquisition Proposal or to the Company, its Subsidiaries or its businesses, operations or affairs heretofore furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Representatives to such Person or any of its Representatives in accordance with the terms of any confidentiality agreement with such Person and terminate any “data room” or similar access of such Persons and their Representatives.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6.5(a), nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent the Company or the Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or complying with Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act; (ii) complying with Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, including a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board to the Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication), or from making any disclosure if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board under applicable Law,

(provided, that neither the Company nor the Board may recommend any Acquisition Proposal unless permitted by Section 6.5(e) and the Company may not fail to make, or withdraw, modify or change in a manner adverse to Parent all or any portion of, the Recommendation unless in compliance with Section 6.5(f)); (iii) prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote, providing access to its properties, books and records and providing information or data in response to a request therefor by a Person or group who has made a bona fide unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof (it being understood that such Person or group may have engaged in discussions with the Company prior to the date hereof and may submit an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal following the date hereof), not resulting from a breach of Section 6.5(a), if the Board receives from the Person so requesting such information an executed confidentiality agreement (a copy of which shall be provided to Parent) on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement must contain a standstill provision) and, to the extent nonpublic information that has not been made available to Parent is made available to such Person, make available or furnish such nonpublic information to Parent substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such Person; or (iv) prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote, contacting and engaging in any negotiations or discussions with any Person or group and their respective Representatives who has made an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof (it being understood that such Person or group may have engaged in discussions with the Company prior to the date hereof and may submit an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal following the date hereof), not resulting from a breach of Section 6.5(a), if, and only if, prior to taking such action as set forth in the foregoing clauses (iii) and (iv), the Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors (A) that failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Board under applicable Law and (B) that, such Acquisition Proposal, constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal.

(c) The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) after receipt or occurrence of any Acquisition Proposal or the determination of the existence of an Intervening Event, as applicable, of (i) the material terms and conditions of any such Acquisition Proposal (including the identity of the Person making any such Acquisition Proposal and if applicable, providing copies of any written inquiries, requests, proposals or offers and any proposed agreements relating thereto, which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect confidential information of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal) or the Intervening Event, as applicable and (ii) any request for non-public information or to engage in negotiations or discussions that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, terminate, waive, amend or modify any provision of any existing standstill or confidentiality agreement to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, and the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, enforce the provisions of any such agreement; provided, however, that, the Company may waive any such provision in response to an Acquisition Proposal to the Board made under circumstances in which the Company is permitted under this Section 6.5 to participate in discussions regarding an Acquisition Proposal, but only to the extent necessary to allow it to respond to such Acquisition Proposal as permitted under this Section 6.5. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status and material details (including any amendments or proposed amendments) of any such Acquisition Proposal or Intervening Event, as applicable, and keep Parent reasonably informed as to the material details of all developments, discussions or negotiations regarding the

financial and any other material terms of the Acquisition Proposal or request (including by providing, within 24 hours after receipt thereof, copies of all drafts of proposed agreements relating thereto which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect confidential information of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal).

(d) Except as permitted by Section 6.5(e), the Board will not (i) withhold, withdraw or modify, or propose to withhold, withdraw or modify, in any manner adverse to Parent or each Merger Sub, the Recommendation, (ii) approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable, an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) fail to include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iv) fail to publicly recommend against any Acquisition Proposal (including, for these purposes, by taking no position with respect to the acceptance of such Acquisition Proposal by the Company’s stockholders, which shall constitute a failure to recommend against such Acquisition Proposal), or to publicly re-affirm the Recommendation, in each case, within five (5) Business Days following an Acquisition Proposal that has been publicly announced (or such fewer number of days as remain prior to the Stockholders Meeting, as it may be adjourned or postponed in accordance with this Agreement) (any of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (v) approve, recommend, declare advisable or enter into any definitive agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a confidentiality agreement as contemplated by Section 6.5(b)).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.5 to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote:

(i) if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, in response to a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 6.5, that (A) such proposal is a Superior Proposal and (B) the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company or the Board may effect such Adverse Recommendation Change and terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sentence, and any purported termination pursuant to this sentence shall be void and of no force or effect, unless (x) the Company complies with the provisions of Section 6.5(c) and (f) in all respects prior to terminating this Agreement and (y) concurrently with such termination, the Company pays to Parent the Termination Fee and enters into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; or

(ii) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal as provided in clause (i) above, the Board may only effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to any Intervening Event if the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action is inconsistent with the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, the Company

shall not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to this sentence unless the Company complies with the provisions of Section 6.5(c) and (f) in all respects.

(f) Prior to the Company taking any action permitted under (i) Section 6.5(e)(ii), the Company shall provide Parent with three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Parent it intends to effect a Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and, during such three (3) Business Day period, if requested by Parent, the Company engages in good faith negotiations with Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement in a manner that obviates the need to effect a Adverse Recommendation Change or (ii) Section 6.5(e)(i), the Company shall provide Parent with three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (it being understood and agreed that any material amendment to the amount or form of consideration payable in connection with the applicable Acquisition Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two (2) Business Day period) advising Parent that the Board intends to take such action, and specifying the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal and that the Company shall, during such three (3) Business Day period (or subsequent two (2) Business Day period), negotiate in good faith with Parent to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal.

(g) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings assigned below:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or group of Persons (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates) relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business that constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or 20% or more of any class or series of Company Securities, any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or group of Persons beneficially owning 20% or more of any class or series of capital stock of the Company, or any merger, reorganization, consolidation, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the Company (or any Subsidiary or Subsidiaries of the Company whose business constitutes 20% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal made following the date hereof (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified, it being understood that the Person or group making such Acquisition Proposal may have engaged in discussions with the Company prior to the date hereof and may make an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal following the date hereof) involving (A) assets that generate more than 50% of the consolidated total revenues, (B) assets that constitute more than 50% of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries or (C) more than 50% of the total voting power of the equity securities of the Company, in each case that the Board in good faith determines (after consultation with its outside legal advisors and financial

advisors, who shall be a nationally recognized investment banking firm) would, if consummated, result in a transaction that is more favorable from a financial point of view to the stockholders of the Company than the transactions contemplated hereby, after taking into account all such factors and matters deemed relevant in good faith by the Board, including legal (with the advice of outside counsel), financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), regulatory, timing or other aspects of such proposal and the transactions contemplated hereby.

(iii) “Intervening Event” means any event or development or material change in circumstances with respect to, and specific to, the Company that materially improves the business, assets, or operations of the Company and was (A) not actually known to, or reasonably expected by, the Board as of the date of this Agreement; (B) becomes known to the Board prior to obtaining the Company Requisite Vote; and (C) does not relate to any Acquisition Proposal; provided that any change in the market price or trading volume of the Company’s stock will not constitute an Intervening Event (it being understood that the facts giving rise or contributing to such change may be deemed to constitute, or be taken into account in determining whether there is an Intervening Event).

SECTION 6.6 Employment and Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) As of and after the Closing, Parent will, or will cause the Second Step Surviving Corporation to, or, where approval of a third party provider is required, use commercially reasonable efforts to, give Company Employees full credit for purposes of eligibility and vesting and benefit accruals (but not (i) for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plans, (ii) to the extent this credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service, or (iii) for purposes of eligibility or benefits under any post termination welfare benefits) under any employee compensation and incentive plans, benefit (including vacation) plans, programs, policies and arrangements of Parent and its Subsidiaries in which Company Employees participate from and after the Closing Date for the Company Employees’ service with the Company, its Subsidiaries and their predecessor entities (each, a “Parent Plan”) to the same extent recognized by the Company or any Subsidiary immediately prior to the First Effective Time. With respect to each Parent Plan that is a “welfare benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), the Parent or its Subsidiaries shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause there to be waived any pre-existing condition or eligibility limitations, and (ii) give effect, in determining any deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations, to claims incurred and amounts paid by, and amounts reimbursed to, Company Employees under similar plans maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall modify or amend any Company Plan or other agreement, plan, program or document. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall obligate Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Second Step Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to employ any person for any period of time after the First Effective Time, and this Section 6.6 shall not be construed to limit the ability of Parent to alter the terms and conditions of, or terminate, the employment of any person. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.6, the provisions of this Section 6.6 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this

Agreement, and no current or former employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) or any other Person shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of the Agreement. Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall be construed to restrict in any way the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to (i) amend, terminate or modify the duties, responsibilities or employment of any Company Employee, (ii) amend, terminate or modify any Company Plan or any compensation or benefit arrangement or any other employee benefit plans or programs maintained by Parent, the First Step Surviving Corporation, the Second Step Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates at any time or from time to time, or (iii) grant any Employee any special right for compensation.

SECTION 6.7 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Without limiting any additional rights that any current or former director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) may have under any indemnification agreement, employment agreement or Company Plan, from the Closing through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Closing occurs, to the full extent permitted by applicable Law, Parent shall cause the Second Step Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party, against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, inquiries, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Costs”), incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or completed claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (each, a “Proceeding”) to which an Indemnified Party is a party or with respect to which an Indemnified Party is otherwise involved (including as a witness), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, employee, fiduciary or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including any Proceeding arising out of or pertaining to this Agreement and the transactions and actions contemplated hereby), whether such Proceeding is commenced, or any claim or matter therein is asserted or claimed, prior to, at or after the First Effective Time. In the event of any such Proceeding, (x) neither Parent nor Second Step Surviving Corporation shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Proceeding in which indemnification could be sought by such Indemnified Party (which term, shall include only those Persons who are officers, or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement) hereunder, unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action, suit, proceeding, investigation or claim or such Indemnified Party otherwise consents, and (y) the Second Step Surviving Corporation shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter.

(b) The certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Second Step Surviving Corporation shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of former or present directors, officers and employees than those set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws as of the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any such individuals.

(c) The Company shall purchase, prior to the First Effective Time, a six (6)-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions (in both amount and scope) providing

substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the First Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the premium amount to be paid for such “tail policy” shall not exceed two hundred percent (200%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage in its last full fiscal year.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Indemnified Party is a party to or is otherwise involved (including as a witness) in any Proceeding (whether arising before, at or after the Closing) on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing, the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such Proceeding.

(e) This covenant is intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives. The rights to indemnification and advancement and the other rights provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise.

(f) In the event that the Second Step Surviving Corporation or Parent 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 corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a majority of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation or Parent, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in Section 6.6 and this Section 6.7.

SECTION 6.8 Further Action; Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party will use its best efforts to (and, in the case of Parent, cause each member of the Parent Group to) (A) take (or cause to be taken) all actions; (B) do (or cause to be done) all things; and (C) assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing (or causing to be done) all things, in each case as are necessary, proper or advisable pursuant to applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger, including by:

(i) causing the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VII to be satisfied;

(ii) (A) obtaining all consents, waivers, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Entities; and (B) making all registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Entities, in each case that are necessary or advisable to consummate the Merger;

(iii) obtaining all consents, waivers and approvals and delivering all notifications pursuant to any Material Contracts and Leases in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger so as to

maintain and preserve the benefits to the Second Step Surviving Corporation of such Material Contracts and Leases as of and following the consummation of the Merger;

(iv) executing and delivering any Contracts and other instruments that are reasonably necessary to consummate the Merger; and

(v) taking, or causing to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, including the NZX Rules, to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and obtain all consents, waivers, approvals, exemptions, orders, authorizations and making all registrations, declarations and filings, in each case that are necessary or advisable in connection therewith.

(b) In addition to the foregoing, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, neither Parent or any Merger Sub, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, will take any action, or fail to take any action, that is intended to have, or would reasonably be expected to have, the effect of preventing, impairing, delaying beyond the Termination Date or otherwise materially and adversely affecting (i) the consummation of the Merger; or (ii) the ability of such party to fully perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no action by the Company taken in compliance with Section 6.5 will be considered a violation of this Section 6.8.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.8 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to agree (and without Parent’s consent shall not agree) to the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased or accelerated payments), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), in connection with the Merger, including in connection with obtaining any consent pursuant to any Material Contract.

SECTION 6.9 Antitrust Filings.

(a) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each party hereto agrees to make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of the date hereof and to supply as promptly as practicable any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act and to take all other actions necessary, proper or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable. Each of Parent and each Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall, in connection with the efforts referenced in Section 6.8 to obtain all requisite approvals and authorizations and make all requisite filings for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, use its best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party; (ii) keep the other party reasonably informed of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) or any other U.S. or foreign Governmental Entity and of any communication received or

given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case in connection with any Antitrust Law relating to the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) permit the other party to review any communication given by it to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference with, the FTC, the DOJ or any other Governmental Entity or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the FTC, the DOJ or such other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences, in each case in connection with any Antitrust Law relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants of the parties contained in Section 6.8 and this Section 6.9, if any objections are asserted with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby under any Antitrust Law or if any suit is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by the FTC, the DOJ or any other applicable Governmental Entity or any private party challenging any of the transactions contemplated hereby as violative of any Antitrust Law or which would otherwise prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of Parent and the Merger Subs shall, the Company shall use its best efforts to, and Parent shall cause each member of the Parent Group to take all such further action to, resolve any such objections or suits so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including in order to resolve such objections or suits which, in any case if not resolved, could reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impede or materially delay the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, subject to compliance with the NZX Rules on the part of the Company..

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, if and to the extent necessary to obtain clearance of the Merger pursuant to the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws applicable to the Merger, each of Parent and each Merger Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable) will (i) offer, negotiate, commit to and effect, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, (A) the sale, divestiture, termination, license or other disposition of any and all of the capital stock or other equity or voting interest, assets (whether tangible or intangible), rights (including any rights or Contracts to acquire equity interests or assets, other than pursuant to this Agreement), products or businesses of Parent and the Merger Subs (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, and (B) any other restrictions on the activities of Parent and the Merger Subs (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, and (ii) contest, defend and appeal any Proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger.

SECTION 6.10 Public Announcements. Each of the Company, Parent and each Merger Sub agrees that no public release or announcement concerning the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any party without the prior written consent of the Company and Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable United States or New Zealand securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body to which the relevant party is subject, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, it being understood

that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, to the extent so required, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.10 shall not apply to any public release or public announcement (x) made or proposed to be made by the Company in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, a Superior Proposal or an Adverse Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant thereto or (y) in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

SECTION 6.11 Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and each Merger Sub will not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy pursuant to, the Commitment Letters if such amendment, modification or waiver would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing (other than as expressly set forth therein); (ii) impose new or additional conditions or other terms or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing or any other terms to the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or materially delay the Closing Date or adversely impact the ability of Parent to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) adversely impact the ability of Parent, the Merger Subs or the Company, as applicable, to enforce its rights against the Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter or the Guarantors under the Equity Commitment Letter.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Parent and each Merger Sub will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper and advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters, including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Commitment Letters and the Debt Fee Letters in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof (or on such other terms as are permitted by Section 6.11 or Section 6.17 or agreed to in writing by the Company), (ii) enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing, on the terms and conditions materially consistent with the terms contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (including any “flex” provisions applicable thereto set forth in the Debt Fee Letters), (iii) satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to funding that are applicable to Parent and the Merger Subs in the Commitment Letters that are within their control (except that such obligation shall not be breached in respect of any condition where the failure to be so satisfied is a direct result of any of the Company’s failure to furnish the information set forth in Section 6.17, notwithstanding Parent’s reasonable best efforts), (iv) comply with its obligations pursuant to the Commitment Letters and (v) enforce its rights pursuant to the Commitment Letters. In the event that all conditions contained in the Commitment Letters (other than, with respect to the Debt Financing, the availability of the Equity Financing) have been satisfied and Parent is required to consummate the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2, Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to cause each Financing Source and shall cause each Guarantor to fund its respective committed portion of the Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to pay related fees and expenses on the Closing Date (including subject to Section 9.10(b), by promptly commencing a litigation proceeding against any breaching Financing Source or Guarantor to compel such breaching Financing Source or Guarantor to provide its respective committed portion of the

Financing, provided that Parent shall control all aspects of such proceeding, including litigation strategy and selection of counsel); provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the right of the Parent to seek specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing the Financing Sources’ obligation to cause the Debt Financing to be funded shall be subject to the requirements that (A) the Equity Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Debt Financing is funded at the Closing and (B) Parent has irrevocably confirmed that if the Debt Financing and Equity Financing are funded, then it would take such actions that are within its control to cause the Closing to occur. In addition, Parent shall have the right to substitute other debt financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter from the same and/or alternative financing sources so long as (x) such substitution does not, as compared to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter and Debt Fee Letters on the date of this Agreement, increase the amount of Debt Financing required to be funded on the Closing Date to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing in a manner that could reasonably be expected to (1) prevent, delay or impair the ability of Parent to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (2) adversely impact the ability of Parent or any Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter and (y) the Company shall have consented in writing to such substituted Debt Financing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable in the manner or from the sources contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letter, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, (i) obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon conditions not less favorable in the aggregate to Parent, Merger Subs and the Second Step Surviving Corporation, taken as a whole, than those in the Debt Commitment Letter (including the “flex” provisions contained in the Debt Fee Letters), as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event (and in any event no later than the Closing Date) (the “Alternate Debt Financing”), and (ii) obtain one or more new financing commitment letters with respect to such Alternate Debt Financing (the “New Debt Commitment Letters”), which New Debt Commitment Letters will replace the existing Debt Commitment Letter in whole or in part. Parent shall promptly provide the Company with a copy of any New Debt Commitment Letters and any fee letter in connection therewith (redacted to omit the numerical amounts and “flex provisions” provided therein and any other customarily redacted provisions thereof, none of which would adversely affect the amount, conditionality, availability or termination of the Alternate Debt Financing to be funded at the Closing). In the event that any New Debt Commitment Letters are obtained, (A) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Commitment Letters” or the “Debt Commitment Letter” will be deemed to include the Debt Commitment Letter to the extent not superseded by one or more New Debt Commitment Letters at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letters to the extent then in effect, and (B) any reference in this Agreement to the “Debt Financing” means the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as modified pursuant to the foregoing.

(d) Parent and Merger Subs shall (i) keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing or any applicable Alternate Debt Financing, and (ii) promptly provide the Company with copies of all executed amendments, modification or replacements of the Debt Commitment Letter (it being understood that any amendments, modifications or replacements shall only be as permitted herein) or material definitive agreements related to the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent and Merger Subs shall promptly notify the Company (A) of any material breach or material default by any party to the Commitment Letters or definitive agreements related to the Financing of which Parent becomes aware, (B) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Subs of any written notice or written communication from the Guarantors or any Financing Source with respect to any breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to a Financing Commitment Letter or any definitive agreements related to the Financing of any provisions of any Commitment Letter or such definitive agreements and (C) if for any reason, any of Parent or Merger Subs at any time believes it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing in an amount sufficient to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement on substantially similar terms from the sources contemplated by the Commitment Letters or any definitive agreements related to the Financing.

(e) Parent and Merger Subs each acknowledge and agree that obtaining the Financing is not a condition to the Closing.

SECTION 6.12 Certain Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes (including liability arising out of any real estate transfer Tax, but excluding any income or similar tax), and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the Merger shall be borne by the Second Step Surviving Corporation. The Second Step Surviving Corporation shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns relating to such Taxes.

SECTION 6.13 Obligations of Merger Subs. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause the Merger Subs, the First Step Surviving Corporation and the Second Step Surviving Corporation to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.

Nothing in this Section 6.14 shall be construed to permit any Party to do any act that would constitute a violation or breach of, or as a waiver of any other Party’s rights under, any other provision of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.15 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall be permitted to take such steps as may be reasonably necessary to cause dispositions of Company

equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 6.16 Parent Vote. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, in its capacity as the sole stockholder of the Merger Subs, will execute and deliver to the Merger Subs and the Company a written consent approving the Merger in accordance with the DGCL.

SECTION 6.17 Financing Cooperation.

(a) Subject to Section 6.11(a), prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at Parent’s sole expense, reasonably cooperate in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the Debt Financing (provided that such requested cooperation is otherwise consistent with this Agreement and does not unreasonably interfere in any material respect with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries). Such cooperation by the Company shall include, at the reasonable request of Parent:

(i) commenting on or assisting with the preparation (including providing information and materials to be used in the preparation) of customary confidential information memoranda or similar offering documents for the Debt Financing, customary rating agency presentations and lender presentations for the Debt Financing; provided, that any such document and rating agency presentation shall contain disclosure and financial statements reflecting the Company as the obligor;

(ii) assisting in the preparation of, and executing and delivering, one or more credit agreements, guarantees, pledge and security documents, supplemental indentures, currency or interest hedging arrangements, other definitive financing documents, or other certificates, documents, or closing deliverables with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter as may be reasonably requested by Parent (including customary consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Debt Financing) or otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral;

(iii) furnishing Parent and Parent’s Financing Sources and their respective Representatives with the Required Information;

(iv) furnishing Parent for distribution to the Financing Sources information required by any Financing Sources for compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including USA Patriot Act of 2001 at least three days prior to Closing;

(v) participating in a reasonable number of meetings with prospective lenders for the Debt Financing at times and location to be mutually and reasonably agreed upon, including contact between appropriate senior management, on the one hand, and prospective lenders on the other;

(vi) cooperating reasonably with the due diligence of the Financing Sources, to the extent customary and reasonable and to the extent not unreasonably interfering with the ongoing operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vii) cooperating in satisfying the conditions precedent set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or any definitive document relating to the Debt Financing (to the extent the satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, and is within the control of the Company or its Subsidiaries);

(viii) cooperating with Parent in Parent’s efforts to obtain consents, legal opinions, surveys, title insurance and insurance affidavits as reasonably requested by Parent;

(ix) taking all actions reasonably requested by Parent and necessary to (A) permit the prospective lenders involved in the Debt Financing to evaluate the Company and its Subsidiaries’ current assets, cash management and accounting systems, policies and procedures relating thereto for the purpose of establishing collateral arrangements to the extent customary and reasonable and (B) no earlier than the Closing establish bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lock-box arrangements in connection with the foregoing; and

(x) provide commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent in connection with Parent’s preparation of pro forma financial information and financial statements to the extent necessary or reasonably required by Financing Sources to be included in any offering documents or marketing documents related to the Debt Financing.

Parent shall promptly reimburse the Company for any expenses and costs incurred in connection with the Company’s or its Affiliates’ obligations under this Section 6.17(a). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (i) waive or amend any terms of this Agreement, agree to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the First Effective Time or to approve the execution or delivery of any document or certificate in connection with the Financing (or any alternative financing), (ii) enter into any definitive agreement relating to the Debt Financing prior to the First Effective Time or (iii) provide any information the disclosure of which is prohibited or restricted under applicable Law or where such disclosure would, in the opinion of counsel, reasonably be expected to result in the waiver of any attorney-client privilege; provided, that in the case of the preceding clause (iii), that they shall use commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate the applicable Law or result in the waiver of such privilege, including by providing such information in redacted form as necessary to preserve such privilege or comply with such Law. Nothing in this Section 6.17 shall require the cooperation of the Company to the extent that it would unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of the Company. No officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who is not reasonably expect to be an officer of the Second Step Surviving Corporation shall be

obligated to deliver any certificate in connection with the Financing and no counsel for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be obligated to deliver any opinion in connection with the Financing, and irrespective of the above, no obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under any agreement, certificate, document or instrument shall be effective until the First Effective Time. None of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to take any action under any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument that is not contingent upon the occurrence of the Closing (including entry into any agreement that is effective before the First Effective Time) or that would be effective prior to the First Effective Time. Nothing in this Agreement will require any officer or Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to deliver any certificate or opinion or take any other action pursuant to Section 6.17 or any other provision of this agreement that could reasonably be expected to result in personal liability to such officer or Representative.

(b) The Company hereby consents to the use of all logos of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Financing so long as such logos (i) are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or would reasonably be likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (ii) are used solely in connection with a description of the Company, its business and products or the Merger.

(c) Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, solely to the extent arising from any action taken by them at the request of Parent pursuant to this Section 6.17 and any information misused by the Financing Sources in connection therewith, except to the extent with respect to any willful misconduct, fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or material misstatement or omission in information provided hereunder, by any of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives.

(d) All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries obtained by Parent or any of its Representatives pursuant to this Section 6.17 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that Parent and Merger Sub shall be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to potential debt financing sources and their Representatives without the prior written consent of the Company if such potential debt financing sources and their Representatives who receive such information are subject to a confidentiality agreement no less restrictive that the Confidentiality Agreement with respect to such information or as provided in the Commitment Letter.

SECTION 6.18 Delisting. The Company shall take all action necessary or required (including giving notice to the NZX) to cause the delisting of the Company from the NZX Main Board on the Delisting Date.

SECTION 6.19 Stockholder Litigation. Each of the Company and Parent shall keep the other party hereto informed of, and consult and cooperate with such party in connection with, any stockholder litigation or claim against such party and/or its directors or officers relating to the Merger.

prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly of the commencement of any such stockholder litigation of which it has received written notice.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, under no circumstances will the Company be entitled to, and in no event shall the Company seek to recover, monetary damages from any Parent Related Party (other than Parent) and in no event shall such amount recovered from Parent be in excess of the amount equal to the Parent Termination Fee.

(h) Upon payment of the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.2(d), none of Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantors, any Financing Source under the Debt Financing or any of the Parent Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to the Company relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Debt Commitment Letter or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except that the obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to survive and Parent and the Merger Subs shall also be obligated with respect to the last sentence of Section 8.2(f)). No Financing Source shall be subject to any special, consequential, punitive or indirect damages or damages of a tortious nature. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is explicitly agreed that the Company, Parent and Merger Subs shall be entitled to pursue an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, solely as provided in Section 9.10(b); provided that in no case shall the Company be entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages (including the Parent Termination Fee).

This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto and specifically referencing this Agreement.

SECTION 8.5 Waiver.

SECTION 9.10 Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the parties agree that, although the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and monetary damages, under no circumstances will the Company be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in the occurrence of the Closing and monetary damages (including any monetary damages in lieu of specific performance and including the Parent Termination Fee).

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy would occur in the event that the parties do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including any party 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 breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) prior to a valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Agreement, subject to this Section 9.10, the parties will be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches (or threatened breaches) of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, and this right shall include the right of the Company to cause Parent and Merger Subs to fully enforce (A) the terms of the Equity Commitment Letter against the Guarantors to the fullest extent permissible under this Section 9.10 and the Equity Commitment Letter, subject to the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter and (B) subject to Section 6.11(b), the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter against the Financing Sources to the fullest extent permissible under the Debt Commitment Letter, including that the Equity Financing has been funded, in accordance with the terms of, or will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof, at the Closing if the Debt Financing is funded at the Closing, and to thereafter

cause the Merger to be consummated in accordance with this Agreement; and (ii) the right to specific enforcement is an integral part of the Merger and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

(b) It is explicitly agreed that the Company shall have the right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies in connection with enforcing Parent’s and the Merger Subs’ obligations to consummate the Merger and cause the Equity Financing to be funded to fund the Merger only in the event that each of the following conditions has been satisfied: (A) the Marketing Period has ended and the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at Closing, provided that each such condition is capable of being satisfied at Closing) or waived at the time the Closing would have occurred but for the failure of the Funding to be funded, (B) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or the Financing Sources have confirmed in writing that it will be funded in accordance with the terms thereof at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded and (C) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Parent that (x) all conditions to the Company’s obligations to consummate the Closing set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at Closing, provided that each such condition is capable of being satisfied at Closing) and (y) if specific performance is granted and the Financing is funded, then the Closing will occur.

(c) The parties agree not to raise any objections to (i) the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and the Merger Subs, on the other hand; and (ii) the specific performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants, obligations and agreements of Parent and the Merger Subs pursuant to this Agreement, in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii), on the basis that damages would be an adequate remedy for such breach, threatened breach or noncompliance. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with such injunction or enforcement, and each party irrevocably waives any right that it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other security. The parties hereto further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.10, a party hereto shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a party under this Agreement or the Guarantees (including monetary damages), and (y) nothing set forth in this Section 9.10 shall require any party hereto to institute any proceeding for (or limit any party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance under this Section 9.10 (prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Article VIII (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.10 or anything set forth in this Section 9.10 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Article VIII or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement or the Guarantees that may be available then or thereafter.

SECTION 9.11 Jurisdiction. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if the Chancery Court declines

jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or the courts of the State of Delaware solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such action, suit or proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts.

SECTION 9.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THOSE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE DEBT FINANCING OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, INCLUDING IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE).

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of and has the sole power to vote (or to direct the voting of) (x) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of Diligent Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), set forth opposite the Stockholder’s name on Schedule I hereto and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share the (“Common Shares”) of the Company, set forth opposite the Stockholder’s name on Schedule I hereto (such Common Shares and Preferred Shares, together with any other Shares the voting power of which is acquired by such Stockholder during the period from the date hereof through the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (such period, the “Voting Period”), are collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Company, Parent, Diamond Merger Sub I, Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Merger Sub II (“Merger Sub I”) and Diamond Merger Sub II, Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub II”) are concurrently entering into an agreement and plan of merger, dated as of the date hereof (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) Merger Sub I shall be merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation thereafter and (ii) the Company shall then be merged with and into Merger Sub II, with Merger Sub II continuing as the surviving corporation thereafter (the mergers referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as the “Merger”);

WHEREAS, the adoption of the Merger Agreement requires the written consent or affirmative vote of (i) the holders of at least sixty percent (60%) of the then outstanding Preferred Shares, consenting or voting separately as a class and (ii) the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding Preferred Shares and Common Shares, entitled to vote thereon, voting as one class; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, which transactions from which the Stockholder believes it will derive substantial benefits through its ownership interest in the Company, the Stockholder is entering into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

SECTION 1.1 Capitalized Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement; provided, however, that no amendment or modification to any such term in the Merger Agreement shall amend or modify its meaning for the purposes hereof without the prior written consent of Stockholder.

ARTICLE II

VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY

SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Vote. The Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the Voting Period, at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), or in any other circumstances (including action by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting) upon which a vote, adoption or other approval or consent with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement or the approval of the Merger and any of the transactions contemplated thereby is sought, the Stockholder shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and shall provide a written consent or vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all its Subject Shares, in each case (i) in favor of (A) any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (B) waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, and (ii) against (X) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, (Y) any Acquisition Proposal and any action in furtherance of any such Acquisition Proposal and (Z) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Stockholder or the Company under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 2.2 Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. If requested by Parent, the Stockholder shall appoint Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually, as the Stockholder’s proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote during the Voting Period with respect to any and all of the Subject Shares on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 2.1. The Stockholder shall take all further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of any such proxy. The Stockholder affirms that any irrevocable proxy given by it with respect to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be given to Parent by the Stockholder to secure the performance of the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement. It is agreed that Parent (and its officers on behalf of Parent) will use the irrevocable proxy that may be granted by the Stockholder only in accordance with applicable Law and that, to the extent Parent (and its officers on behalf of Parent) uses any such irrevocable proxy, it will only vote the Subject Shares

subject to such irrevocable proxy with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 2.1.

SECTION 2.3 Nature of Irrevocable Proxy. Any proxy granted pursuant to Section 2.2 to Parent by the Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney granted by the Stockholder and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by the Stockholder with respect thereto. Any proxy that may be granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, but shall survive the death or incapacity of the Stockholder and any obligation of the Stockholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives and successors of the Stockholder.

SECTION 2.4 Additional Consideration. If the Merger is consummated, the Stockholder will not receive, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, any consideration additional to or in lieu of (i) the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration in respect of the acquisition of the Preferred Shares held or controlled by it or its Affiliates and (ii) the Common Stock Merger Consideration in respect of the acquisition of any Common Shares held or controlled by it or its Affiliates. If the Merger is not consummated, neither the Stockholder nor any of its Affiliates will receive a break-fee or similar payment, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.

ARTICLE III

COVENANTS

SECTION 3.1 Subject Shares.

(a) The Stockholder agrees that (i) from the date hereof until the Closing Date, it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without Parent’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, offer for sale, sell (including short sales), transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, a “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to or permit, a Transfer of, any or all of the Subject Shares or any interest therein; and (ii) during the Voting Period it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without Parent’s prior written consent, (A) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any or all of the Subject Shares or agree to vote the Subject Shares on any matter or divest itself of any voting rights in the Subject Shares, (B) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or (C) convert any of its Preferred Shares into Common Shares; provided, that the Stockholder may Transfer up to 500,000 Common Shares after the record date for the Stockholders Meeting (retaining voting rights in respect of the matters to be voted on at the Stockholders Meeting) and prior to the Closing Date. The Stockholder agrees that any Transfer of Subject Shares not permitted hereby shall be null and void and that any such prohibited

Transfer may and should be enjoined. If any involuntary transfer of any Subject Shares covered hereby shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by the Stockholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

(b) In the event of a stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Subject Shares by reason of any stock dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of shares or the like, the term “Subject Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include the Subject Shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of the Subject Shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction. The Stockholder further agrees that, in the event Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial or record ownership of or an interest in, or acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of, any additional Shares, in each case after the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder shall deliver promptly to Parent written notice of such event, which notice shall state the number of additional Shares so acquired. The Stockholder agrees that any such additional Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including all covenants, agreements, obligations, representations and warranties set forth herein as if those additional shares were owned by the Stockholder on the date of this Agreement.

SECTION 3.2 Stockholder’s Capacity; Stockholder Designees. All agreements and understandings made herein shall be made solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Shares and not in any other capacity. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that if the Stockholder has a nominee or Affiliate on the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), the parties agree that (i) such nominee or Affiliate of the Stockholder on the Board (each, a “Stockholder Designee”) shall be free to act in his capacity as a director of the Company solely in accordance with his duties to the Company and its stockholders, (ii) nothing herein shall prohibit or restrict any Stockholder Designee from taking any action (or omitting to take any action) in facilitation of the exercise of his fiduciary duties pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.5 of the Merger Agreement or otherwise and (iii) no action taken by a Stockholder Designee or the omission by a Stockholder Designee to take any action, acting in his or her capacity as a director of the Company, shall be deemed to be a breach by the Stockholder of this Agreement.

Neither the Stockholder (in the Stockholder’s capacity as such), nor any of the Stockholder’s Subsidiaries, if any, shall, nor shall the Stockholder or any of the Stockholder’s Subsidiaries, if any, authorize or permit any of its or their respective Representatives to, and the Stockholder shall instruct, and cause each applicable Subsidiary of the Stockholder to instruct, each such Representative not to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions: (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) furnish to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any designees of Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II) any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or afford to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub I,

Merger Sub II or any designees of Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II) access to the properties, books, records or other non-public information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in any such case, with the intent to induce the making, submission or announcement of, or the intent to encourage, an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries or the making of any proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than, in response to an unsolicited inquiry, to refer the inquiring person to this Section 3.3 or Section 6.5 of the Merger Agreement); or (iv) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Subsidiary of the Stockholder or Representatives of the Stockholder or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 3.3 by the Stockholder. The Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, and each shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives, to immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder (or any affiliated officer or director of the Company) in compliance with the Merger Agreement, including taking any of the foregoing actions that would be permitted to be taken by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 Communications. During the Voting Period, the Stockholder, and each of the Stockholder’s Subsidiaries, if any, shall not, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause their respective officers, directors, employees or other Representatives, if any, not to, directly or indirectly, make any press release, public announcement or other public communication that criticizes or disparages this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, without the prior written consent of Parent, provided that the foregoing shall not limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder (or any affiliated officer or director of the Company) in compliance with the Merger Agreement, including taking any of the foregoing actions that would be permitted to be taken by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder hereby (i) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company (including in any publicly filed documents relating to the Merger or any transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement) of: (a) the Stockholder’s identity; (b) the Stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares; and (c) the nature of the Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, and any other information that Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or the Company determines to be necessary in any SEC disclosure document in connection with the Merger or any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) agrees as promptly as practicable to notify Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by the Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken by the Stockholder (or any affiliated officer or director of the Company) in compliance with the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 3.5 Voting Trusts. The Stockholder agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any entity under its control to, deposit any of its Subject Shares in a voting trust or subject any of its Subject Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject

Shares other than as provided herein.

SECTION 3.6 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect (or attempt to exercise, assert or perfect) any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that it may at any time have under applicable Law, including Section 262 of the DGCL. The Stockholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, the Company or any of their respective successors, directors or officers, (a) challenging the validity, binding nature or enforceability of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Merger Agreement.

VOTING AGREEMENT

This VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of February 12, 2016, by and among Diamond Parent Holdings, Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) and the undersigned (together, the “Stockholders”).

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the sole record and beneficial owner of and has the sole power to vote (or to direct the voting of) (x) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of Diligent Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule I hereto and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share the (“Common Shares”) of the Company, set forth opposite such Stockholder’s name on Schedule I hereto (such Common Shares and Preferred Shares, together with any other Shares the voting power of which is acquired by the Stockholders during the period from the date hereof through the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms (such period, the “Voting Period”), are collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”);

WHEREAS, as an inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, which transactions from which each Stockholder believes it will derive substantial benefits through its ownership interest in the Company, the Stockholders are entering into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DEFINITIONS

ARTICLE II

VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY

SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Vote. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, during the Voting Period, at any duly called meeting of the stockholders of the Company (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), or in any other circumstances (including action by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting) upon which a vote, adoption or other approval or consent with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement or the approval of the Merger and any of the transactions contemplated thereby is sought, such Stockholder shall, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, and shall provide a written consent or vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all its Subject Shares, in each case (i) in favor of (A) any proposal to adopt and approve or reapprove the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (B) waiving any notice that may have been or may be required relating to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, and (ii) against (X) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, (Y) any Acquisition Proposal and any action in furtherance of any such Acquisition Proposal and (Z) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that, to the knowledge of such Stockholder, would reasonably be expected to result in a material breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of such Stockholder or the Company under this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 2.2 Grant of Irrevocable Proxy. If requested by Parent, each Stockholder shall appoint Parent and any designee of Parent, and each of them individually, as such Stockholder’s proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote during the Voting Period with respect to any and all of the Subject Shares on the matters and in the manner specified in Section 2.1. Each Stockholder shall take all further action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of any such proxy. Each Stockholder affirms that any irrevocable proxy given by it with respect to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby shall be given to Parent by such Stockholder to secure the performance of the obligations of such Stockholder under this Agreement. It is agreed that Parent (and its officers on behalf of Parent) will use the irrevocable proxy that may be granted by the Stockholders only in accordance with applicable Law and that, to the extent Parent (and its officers on behalf of Parent) uses any such irrevocable proxy, it will only vote the Subject Shares

subject to such irrevocable proxy with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section 2.1.

SECTION 2.3 Nature of Irrevocable Proxy. Any proxy granted pursuant to Section 2.2 to Parent by a Stockholder shall be irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall revoke any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney granted by such Stockholder and no subsequent proxy or power of attorney shall be given or written consent executed (and if given or executed, shall not be effective) by such Stockholder with respect thereto. Any proxy that may be granted hereunder shall terminate upon the termination of this Agreement, but shall survive the death or incapacity of such Stockholder and any obligation of such Stockholder under this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives and successors of such Stockholder.

SECTION 2.4 Additional Consideration. If the Merger is consummated, neither Stockholder will receive, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, any consideration additional to or in lieu of (i) the Preferred Stock Merger Consideration in respect of the acquisition of the Preferred Shares held or controlled by it or its Affiliates and (ii) the Common Stock Merger Consideration in respect of the acquisition of any Common Shares held or controlled by it or its Affiliates. If the Merger is not consummated, neither the Stockholders nor any of their respective Affiliates will receive a break-fee or similar payment, whether under this Agreement or otherwise.

ARTICLE III

COVENANTS

SECTION 3.1 Subject Shares.

(a) Each Stockholder agrees that (i) from the date hereof until the Closing Date, it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without Parent’s prior written consent, directly or indirectly, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, offer for sale, sell (including short sales), transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (including by gift) (collectively, a “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, derivative, hedging or other agreement or arrangement or understanding (including any profit-sharing arrangement) with respect to, or consent to or permit, a Transfer of, any or all of its Subject Shares or any interest therein; and (ii) during the Voting Period it shall not, and shall not commit or agree to, without Parent’s prior written consent, (A) grant any proxies or powers of attorney with respect to any or all of its Subject Shares or agree to vote its Subject Shares on any matter or divest itself of any voting rights in its Subject Shares, (B) take any action that would have the effect of preventing or disabling such Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement, or (C) convert any of its Preferred Shares into Common Shares; provided that the Stockholders may Transfer up to 500,000 common shares in the aggregate after the record date for the Stockholders Meeting (retaining voting rights in respect of the matters to be voted on at the Stockholders Meeting) and prior to the Closing Date. Each Stockholder agrees that any Transfer of Subject Shares not permitted hereby shall be null and void and that any such

prohibited Transfer may and should be enjoined. If any involuntary transfer of any Subject Shares covered hereby shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by a Stockholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.

SECTION 3.2 Stockholder’s Capacity; Stockholder Designees. All agreements and understandings made herein shall be made solely in each Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Shares and not in any other capacity.

SECTION 3.3 Other Offers. Neither Stockholder (in the Stockholders’ capacity as such), nor any of the Stockholders’ Subsidiaries, if any, shall, nor shall the Stockholders or any of the Stockholders’ Subsidiaries, if any, authorize or permit any of its or their respective Representatives to, and the Stockholders shall instruct, and cause each applicable Subsidiary of the Stockholders to instruct, each such Representative not to, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions: (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly encourage an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) furnish to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or any designees of Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II) any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or afford to any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub I,

Merger Sub II or any designees of Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II) access to the properties, books, records or other non-public information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in any such case, with the intent to induce the making, submission or announcement of, or the intent to encourage, an Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries or the making of any proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to an Acquisition Proposal (other than, in response to an unsolicited inquiry, to refer the inquiring person to this Section 3.3 or Section 6.5 of the Merger Agreement); or (iv) enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement relating to an Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Subsidiary of a Stockholder or Representatives of a Stockholder or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 3.3 by such Stockholder. The Stockholders shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries, and each shall use reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives, to immediately cease any and all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken by a Stockholder (or any affiliated officer or director of the Company) in compliance with the Merger Agreement, including taking any of the foregoing actions that would be permitted to be taken by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 3.4 Communications. During the Voting Period, the Stockholders, and each of the Stockholders’ Subsidiaries, if any, shall not, and shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause their respective officers, directors, employees or other Representatives, if any, not to, directly or indirectly, make any press release, public announcement or other public communication that criticizes or disparages this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, without the prior written consent of Parent, provided that the foregoing shall not limit or affect any actions taken by a Stockholder (or any affiliated officer or director of the Company) in compliance with the Merger Agreement, including taking any of the foregoing actions that would be permitted to be taken by the Company pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Each Stockholder hereby (i) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company (including in any publicly filed documents relating to the Merger or any transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement) of: (a) such Stockholder’s identity; (b) such Stockholder’s beneficial ownership of the Subject Shares; and (c) the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, and any other information that Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II or the Company determines to be necessary in any SEC disclosure document in connection with the Merger or any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) agrees as promptly as practicable to notify Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by such Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken by a Stockholder (or any affiliated officer or director of the Company) in compliance with the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 3.5 Voting Trusts. Each Stockholder agrees that it will not, nor

will it permit any entity under its control to, deposit any of its Subject Shares in a voting trust or subject any of its Subject Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares other than as provided herein.

SECTION 3.6 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect (or attempt to exercise, assert or perfect) any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that it may at any time have under applicable Law, including Section 262 of the DGCL. Each Stockholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, the Company or any of their respective successors, directors or officers, (a) challenging the validity, binding nature or enforceability of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 7.7 Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that without consent Parent may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates that assume the rights and obligations of Parent under the Merger Agreement. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, each Stockholder agrees that this Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall be binding upon any Person to which record or beneficial ownership of each Stockholder’s Subject Shares shall pass, whether by operation or law or otherwise, including such Stockholder’s heirs,

guardians, administrators or successors and assigns, and such Stockholder agrees to take all actions necessary to effect the foregoing.

SECTION 7.8 Parties in Interest. Subject to Section 3.2, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be an express third party beneficiary solely of the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 7.3 without notice or liability to any other person. In some instances, the representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Consequently, persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date (except the Company solely with respect to Section 3.4 hereof).

For the avoidance of doubt, the sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement by a Stockholder shall be the injunction(s) and specific performance set forth in this Section 7.11.

They shall be numbered in the order of their issue and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or one of the vice-presidents, and the Secretary or an assistant secretary or the treasurer or an assistant treasurer, and the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof shall be impressed or affixed or reproduced thereon, provided, however, that where such certificates are signed by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent or by a transfer clerk acting on behalf of the Corporation and a registrar, the signature of any such Chairman of the Board of Directors, President, vice-president, Secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer or assistant treasurer may be facsimile. In case any officer or officers who shall have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used on any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the Corporation, whether because of death, resignation or otherwise, before such certificate or certificates shall have been delivered by the Corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be adopted by the Corporation and be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates, or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been used thereon have not ceased to be such officer or officers of the Corporation.

Section 2. Registration and Transfer of Shares: The name of each person owning a share of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be entered on the books of the Corporation together with the number of shares held by him, her or it, the numbers of the certificates, if any, covering such shares and the dates of acquisition of such shares. The shares of stock of the Corporation held in certificated form shall be transferable on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person, or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives, on surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares, accompanied by an assignment or power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, duly executed, and with such proof of the authenticity of the signature as the Corporation or its agents may reasonably require. The shares of stock of the Corporation that are not held in certificated form shall be transferable on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person, or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives, on delivery of an assignment or power of transfer. A record shall be made of each transfer.

The Board of Directors may make other and further rules and regulations concerning the transfer and registration of certificates for stock and may appoint a transfer agent or registrar or both and may require all certificates of stock to bear the signature of either or both.

Section 3. Lost, Destroyed and Mutilated Certificates: The holder of any stock of the Corporation held in certificated form shall immediately notify the Corporation of any loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the certificates therefor. The Corporation may issue a new certificate of stock in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it and alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or the owner’s legal representatives, to give the Corporation a bond, in such sum not exceeding double the value of the stock and with such surety or sureties as they may require, to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it by reason of

the issue of such new certificate and against all other liability in the premises, or may remit such owner to such remedy or remedies as he may have under the laws of the State of Delaware.

ARTICLE VII.
DIVIDENDS, SURPLUS, ETC.

Section 1. General Discretion of Directors: The Board of Directors shall have power to fix and vary the amount to be set aside or reserved as working capital of the Corporation, or as reserves, or for other proper purposes of the Corporation, and, subject to the requirements of the Certificate of Incorporation, to determine whether any, if any, part of the surplus or net profits of the Corporation shall be declared as dividends and paid to the stockholders, and to fix the date or dates for the payment of dividends.

Section 3. Notices: Except as otherwise expressly provided, any notice required by these Bylaws to be given shall be sufficient if given by depositing the same in a post office or letter box in a sealed postpaid wrapper addressed to the person entitled thereto at his address, as the same appears upon the books of the Corporation, or by sending via facsimile, telegraphing or cabling the same to such person at such addresses; and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time it is mailed, sent via facsimile, telegraphed or cabled.

Section 4. Waiver of Notice: Any stockholder or director may at any time, by writing or by telegraph or by cable, waive any notice required to be given under these Bylaws, and if any stockholder or director shall be present at any meeting his presence shall constitute a waiver of such notice.

Section 5. Checks, Drafts, etc.: All checks, drafts or other orders for the payment of money, notes or other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the Corporation, shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the Corporation, and in such manner, as shall from time to time be designated by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Section 6. Deposits: All funds of the Corporation shall be deposited from time to time to the credit of the Corporation in such bank or banks, trust companies or other depositories as the Board of Directors may select, and, for the purpose of such deposit, checks, drafts, warrants and other orders for the payment of money which are payable to the order of the Corporation, may be endorsed for deposit, assigned and delivered by any officer of the Corporation, or by such agents of the Corporation as the Board of Directors or the President may authorize for that purpose.

Section 7. Voting Stock of Other Corporations: Except as otherwise ordered by the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee, the President or the treasurer shall have full power and authority on behalf of the Corporation to attend and to act and to vote at any meeting of the stockholders of any corporation of which the Corporation is a stockholder and to execute a proxy to any other person to represent the Corporation at any such meeting, and at any such meeting the President or the treasurer or the holder of any such proxy, as the case may be, shall possess and may exercise any and all rights and powers incident to ownership of such stock and which, as owner thereof, the Corporation might have possessed and exercised if present. The Board of Directors or the Executive Committee may from time to time confer like powers upon any other person or persons.

ARTICLE IX.
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 1. Indemnification. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or other applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, shall indemnify and hold harmless any person who is or was a director or officer of the Corporation and who is or was involved in any manner (including, without limitation, as a party or a witness) or is threatened to be made so involved in any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including, without limitation, any action, suit or proceedings by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) (a “Proceeding”) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise (including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan) (an “indemnitee”) against all liability and loss suffered and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that the person’s conduct was unlawful. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, Section 1, but subject to applicable law, the Corporation shall be required to indemnify an indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding (or part thereof) commenced by such indemnitee only if the commencement of such Proceeding (or part thereof) by the indemnitee was authorized in the specific case by the Board.

Section 2. Prepayment of Expenses. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL or other applicable law, shall pay the expenses incurred by an indemnitee in connection with a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding consistent with the provisions of the DGCL or other applicable law, provided, however, that such payment of expenses in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding

shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the indemnitee to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined that indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article IX or otherwise.

Section 3. Insurance, Contracts and Funding. The Corporation, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the DGCL or other applicable law, may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other entity or enterprise (including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan) against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, in connection with any Proceeding, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL. The Corporation may enter into contracts with any indemnitee providing indemnification and advancement of expenses and may create a trust fund, grant a security interest or use other means (including, without limitation, a letter of credit) to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect indemnification as provided or authorized in this Article IX, by statute, by agreement or otherwise.

Section 4. Indemnification Not Exclusive Right; Beneficiaries of Rights. The provision of indemnification to or the advancement of expenses and costs to any indemnitee under this Article IX, or the entitlement of any indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs under this Article IX, shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses and costs to such indemnitee in any other way permitted by law or be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnitee’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation and as to action in any other capacity. The rights conferred on any indemnitee by this Article IX shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives of any indemnitee under this Article IX. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article IX that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.

Section 5. Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

ARTICLE X.

AMENDMENTS.

The Board of Directors shall have the power to make, rescind, alter, amend and repeal these Bylaws, provided, however, that the stockholders shall have power to rescind, alter, amend or repeal any bylaws made by the Board of Directors, and to enact bylaws which if so expressed shall not be rescinded, altered, amended or repealed by the Board of Directors. No change of the time or place for the annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors shall be made except in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
