Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which shall constitute an agreement and plan of merger for all purposes of the DGCL and DLLCA, and in accordance with the DGCL and the DLLCA, at the Effective Time MergerCo shall merge with and into New York, and the separate corporate existence of MergerCo shall thereupon cease. From and after the Effective Time and in accordance with the DGCL and the DLLCA, New York shall continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes hereinafter referred to in this Article I as the “Surviving Corporation”), becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of UK Holdco.

(c) Filing Certificate of Merger; Effective Time. As soon as practicable following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, if this Agreement shall not have been terminated as provided in Article VIII, New York, UK Holdco and MergerCo shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) meeting the requirements of Section 264(c) of the DGCL and Section 18-209(c) of the DLLCA to be properly executed and filed in accordance with such section and otherwise make all other filings or recordings as required by the DGCL and the DLLCA in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective upon the filing of the Certificate of Merger (or at such later date and time as New York and London shall agree and shall set forth in the Certificate of Merger) (the “Effective Time”).

(d) Effects. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and Section 259 of the DGCL and Section 18-209(g) of the DLLCA.

Section 1.2 Charter Documents; Directors and Officers of Surviving Corporation.

(a) Name of the Surviving Corporation. The name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “New York.”

(b) Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation. The certificate of incorporation of New York as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation upon the Effective Time. Immediately after the Effective Time, UK Holdco shall cause the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation to be amended and restated in a form appropriate for a wholly-owned Subsidiary as mutually agreed to by London and New York prior to the Closing, until further duly amended in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

(c) Bylaws of Surviving Corporation. Immediately after the Effective Time, the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be in a form appropriate for a wholly-owned Subsidiary as mutually agreed to by London and New York prior to the Closing, until duly amended in accordance with their terms and applicable Law.

(d) Directors of Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be Persons mutually agreed to by London and New York, each such director to serve in such capacity until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed.

(e) Officers of Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, the managers of MergerCo immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, each such officer to serve in such capacity until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal or until his or her successor is duly elected or appointed.

Section 1.3 Cancellation and Conversion of Stock.

(a) Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of the holder of any New York Common Stock, any MergerCo common stock or any UK Holdco Common Stock:

(i) Cancellation of New York Common Stock. Each issued share of New York Common Stock that is owned by New York (as a treasury share or otherwise) or by any Subsidiaries of New York immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered or deliverable hereunder in connection with such cancellation.

(ii) Conversion of Remaining New York Common Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of New York Common Stock (other than the issued shares of New York Common Stock referenced in Section 1.3(a)(i)) shall be converted into the right to receive one validly issued share of UK Holdco Common Stock, credited as fully paid, which, when issued, ranks pari passu in all respects with all of the shares of UK Holdco Common Stock then in issue.

(iii) Conversion of MergerCo Common Stock. All issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of MergerCo shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(iv) Parent New York Plans. With effect from the Effective Time, New York shall assign to UK Holdco, and shall cause UK Holdco to assume and adopt, New York’s rights and obligations under the New York Plans that are currently or have previously been sponsored or maintained exclusively by New York and that are set forth on Section 1.3(a)(iv) of the New York Disclosure Letter (each a “Parent New York Plan”). To the extent a Parent New York Plan provides for awards of incentive stock options pursuant to Section 422 of the Code, approval of such plan by New York, as the sole direct or indirect shareholder of UK Holdco, shall be deemed, as of the Effective Time, to constitute shareholder approval of such Parent New York Plan and the issuance or delivery of UK Holdco Common Stock by UK Holdco under the share limitations set forth thereunder for purposes of Section 422(b) of the Code.

(v) Confidentiality/Non-Competition Agreements. With effect from the Effective Time, New York shall assign to UK Holdco, and shall cause UK Holdco to assume and adopt, New York’s rights and obligations under each Employee Confidentiality and Non-Competition Agreement to which it is a party immediately before the Effective Time (collectively, “Confidentiality/Non-Competition Agreements”).

(vi) Other Employee Benefit Plans and Employment Arrangements. With the exception of the Parent New York Plans and the Confidentiality/Non-Competition Agreements, New York’s applicable Affiliates shall remain the plan sponsor of all other employee benefit plans and programs and employment contracts and arrangements it sponsors or is contractually bound by (collectively, the “Unassumed Plans”).

(b) Surrender and Exchange of Shares.

(i) Following the date of this Agreement and in any event prior to the Effective Time, New York shall select a bank or trust company to act as exchange agent in connection with the Merger (together with any other bank or trust company also selected, the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of delivering or causing to be delivered to each holder of New York Common Stock the shares of UK Holdco Common Stock that such holder shall become entitled to receive with respect to such holder’s shares of New York Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.3. The Exchange Agent shall act as agent for each holder of shares of New York Common Stock in connection therewith. In addition, New York and/or UK Holdco shall make available by depositing (or causing to be deposited) with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(viii).

(ii) Prior to the Effective Time, New York shall deposit or, after the Effective Time, at the direction of UK Holdco there shall be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, from time to time, that number of shares of UK Holdco Common Stock as are deliverable pursuant to Section 1.3(a), and which, unless UK Holdco shall otherwise determine, shall be deposited with the Exchange Agent through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

(iii) Except as New York shall otherwise determine, all shares of UK Holdco Common Stock deliverable in respect of shares of New York Common Stock held of record, other than such shares held of record by Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, shall not be delivered to such holders of record directly, but shall be delivered instead to a bank or trust company selected by New York that is a participant in the facilities of DTC (the “Custodian”), which Custodian shall initially hold such shares for the benefit of such holders.

(iv) Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each record holder, immediately prior to the Effective Time, of shares of New York Common Stock that are represented by book entry (“Book Entry Shares”) or represented by certificates (“Certificates”), a form of letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Book Entry Shares or Certificates held by such holder representing such shares of New York Common Stock shall pass, only upon actual and proper delivery of Book Entry Shares or Certificates to the Exchange Agent.

(v) Each holder of shares of New York Common Stock that are represented by Book Entry Shares or Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange for such holder’s shares of New York Common Stock that are represented by Book Entry Shares or Certificates, upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Book Entry Share or Certificate, together with a 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 number of shares of UK Holdco Common Stock deliverable in respect of such holder’s shares of New York Common Stock represented by such holder’s properly surrendered Book Entry Shares or Certificates in accordance with Section 1.3(a) and any cash dividends or other distributions that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(viii), and Book Entry Shares or Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled, and UK Holdco’s register of members shall be updated accordingly. No interest will be paid or accrued on any unpaid dividends and distributions payable to holders of shares of New York Common Stock.

(vi) If delivery of shares of UK Holdco Common Stock in respect of shares of New York Common Stock represented by a Book Entry Share or Certificate is directed by the person in whose name the surrendered Book Entry Share or Certificate is registered to be made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Book Entry Share or Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition of delivery that the Book Entry Share or Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such payment or delivery shall have paid to the Exchange Agent any transfer and other taxes required by reason of the delivery of the shares of UK Holdco to a person other than the registered holder of the Book Entry Share or Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until so surrendered, each Book Entry Share and Certificate shall, after the Effective Time, represent for all purposes only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable shares of UK Holdco and any dividends or other distributions as contemplated by this Section 1.3 but shall not entitle its holder or any other person to any rights as a stockholder of UK Holdco or New York.

(vii) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of New York shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of New York Common Stock that were outstanding prior to the Effective Time. After the Effective Time, Book Entry Shares and Certificates presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer shall be canceled and exchanged for the consideration provided for, and in accordance with the procedures set forth, in this Section 1.3. The shares of UK Holdco Common Stock and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(viii) issued and paid upon the surrender for exchange of Book Entry Shares and Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of New York Common Stock formerly represented by such Book Entry Shares and Certificates.

(viii) No dividends or other distributions with respect to UK Holdco Common Stock deliverable with respect to the shares of New York Common Stock shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Book Entry Shares or Certificates until after those Book Entry Shares or Certificates are surrendered as provided in this Section 1.3. After surrender, there shall be delivered and/or paid to the holder of the UK Holdco Common Stock delivered in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of surrender, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to those shares of UK Holdco Common Stock with a record date on or after the date of the Effective Time and a payment date on or prior to the date of this surrender and not previously paid and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to those shares of UK Holdco Common Stock with a record date on or after the date of the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender.

(ix) In the event that any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the holder’s compliance with the replacement requirements established by the Exchange Agent, including, if necessary, 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 Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable shares of UK Holdco Common Stock deliverable in respect of the shares of New York Common Stock represented by the Certificate pursuant to this Section 1.3.

(x) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any former holder of shares of New York Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement any amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of this payment under the Code, as amended, or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority, the Surviving Corporation shall be treated as though it withheld an appropriate amount of the type of consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any former holder of shares of New York Common Stock, sold this consideration for an amount of cash equal to the fair market value of the consideration at the time of the deemed sale and paid these cash proceeds to the appropriate taxing authority.

(xi) The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash deposited by New York and/or UK Holdco for the purposes of paying dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(viii), pending its disbursement to the relevant shareholders, in (A) short-term direct obligations of the United States of America or (B) short-term obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and interest. UK Holdco shall be responsible for any losses of such cash and shall deposit additional cash with the Exchange Agent as may be required from time to time in order for the Exchange Agent to make the payments required by this Agreement. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to UK Holdco.

(c) No Appraisal Rights. There are no appraisal rights available to holders of New York Common Stock under the DGCL in connection with the Merger.

Section 1.4 Parent New York Plans, Unassumed Plans and Other Employment Agreements and Arrangements.

(a) Application of Parent New York Plans to UK Holdco Common Stock.

(i) To the extent any Parent New York Plan provides for the grant, issuance, delivery or purchase of, or otherwise relates to, options, awards of restricted stock or other rights to purchase or receive shares of New York Common Stock (or the right to receive benefits or amounts by reference to those shares), from and after the Effective Time, New York or UK Holdco, as applicable, shall cause such Parent New York Plan to be amended to provide for the grant, issuance, delivery or purchase of, or otherwise relate to, shares of UK Holdco Common Stock, and all options or awards issued, or benefits available or based upon the value of a specified number of shares of New York Common Stock, under such Parent New York Plans after the Effective Time shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase or receive, or receive payment based on, as applicable, an equal number of shares of UK Holdco Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Parent New York Plan. Except as provided in this Section 1.4(a) and for certain amendments to the Parent New York Plans intended to clarify the meaning of certain provisions in such Parent New York Plans, the outstanding options, restricted stock awards or other equity-based awards or benefits available under the terms of any Parent New York Plan at and following the Effective Time shall, to the extent permitted by Law and otherwise reasonably practicable, be subject to the same terms and conditions as under such Parent New York Plan and the agreements relating thereto immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, for greater certainty, having the same option exercise or measurement price). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of shares of UK Holdco Common Stock issuable or available upon the exercise, payment, issuance or availability of such option, award or benefit immediately after the Effective Time, and the option exercise or measurement price of each such option, award or benefit, shall be subject to adjustment by New York or UK Holdco, as applicable, only to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law.

New York will then notify London in writing as promptly as practicable, but in any event not later than thirty (30) Business Days after receiving each such notice, of the determination of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the New York Board (such determination to be exercised by the New York Board in accordance with, and giving effect to, Section 7.1 of the Shareholder Agreement), as to whether such Persons would satisfy the requirements of Section 7.1(d) of the Shareholder Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, prior to obtaining the New York Stockholder Approval, the New York Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors) that the failure to do so would reasonably likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to New York’s stockholders under applicable Law, it may (A) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(i) and cause New York to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to a New York Superior Proposal or (B) make a New York Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a New York Superior Proposal, but in the case of (A) or (B) only if: (w) such New York Superior Proposal has not resulted from a material breach of its obligations pursuant to this Section 5.1, (x) New York provides written notice to London (a “New York Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change”) advising London that the New York Board intends to take such action and specifying the reasons therefor, including, if applicable, the terms and conditions of any New York Superior Proposal, the identity of the Person making the New York Superior Proposal and copies of all relevant documents relating to such New York Superior Proposal that New York has received from the Person or its representatives that made such proposal and that are the basis of the proposed action by the New York Board, including a copy of the proposed Acquisition Agreement (if any) (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such New York Superior Proposal shall require a new New York Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change and compliance with the requirements of this Section 5.1(b)); (y) during a period of five (5) Business Days following London’s receipt of a New York Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change (or, in the event of a new New York Notice of Adverse Recommendation Change, a new 3-Business Day period), if requested by London, New York and its Representatives shall have negotiated with London and its Representatives in good faith to make such revisions or adjustments proposed by London to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable New York to proceed with its recommendation of this Agreement and the Transactions and not make such New York Adverse Recommendation Change; and (z) if applicable, at the end of such applicable 5- or 3-Business Day period, the New York Board, after considering in good faith any such revisions or adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that London, prior to the expiration of such applicable period, shall have offered in writing in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by New York, continues to determine in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors) that the New York Acquisition Proposal constitutes a New York Superior Proposal.

(c) Other than in connection with a New York Acquisition Proposal, New York may, at any time prior to, but not after, obtaining the New York Stockholder Approval, make a New York Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event (a “New York Intervening Event Change in Recommendation”) if the New York Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that, because of such Intervening Event, a failure to take such action would reasonably likely be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the New York Board to the stockholders of New York under applicable Law, provided, that: (A) London shall have received written notice from New York of New York’s intention to make a New York Intervening Event Change in Recommendation (a “New York Notice of Intervening Event Change in Recommendation”) at least five (5) Business Days prior to the taking of such action by New York, which notice shall specify the applicable Intervening Event in reasonable detail (provided, that any material change to the facts and circumstances that are the basis for such New York Intervening Event Change in Recommendation shall require a new New York Notice of Intervening Event Change in Recommendation and a new 3-Business Day period), (B) during such applicable period and prior to making a New York Intervening Event Change in Recommendation, if requested by London, New York and its Representatives shall have negotiated in good faith with London and its Representatives regarding any revisions or adjustments proposed by London to the terms and conditions of this Agreement as would enable New York to proceed with its recommendation of this Agreement and the Transactions and not make such New York Intervening Event Change in Recommendation and (C) New York may make a New York Intervening Event Change in Recommendation only if the New York Board, after considering in good faith any revisions or adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement that London shall have, prior to the expiration of the applicable 3- or 5-Business Day period, offered in writing in a manner that would form a binding contract if accepted by New York, continues to determine in good faith that failure to make a New York Intervening Event Change in Recommendation would reasonably likely be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the New York stockholders under applicable Law. An “Intervening Event” shall mean any event, fact, circumstance or development or combination thereof that (i) was not known to the New York Board as of the date of this Agreement (or if known, the consequences or magnitude of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable) and (ii) does not relate to (A) any Acquisition Proposal or (B) clearance of the Transactions under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust, competition or similar Law including any action in connection therewith taken pursuant to or required to be taken pursuant to Section 5.8, Section 5.9 or Section 5.10; provided, however, that any increase in the price or trading volume of New York Common Stock shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether an Intervening Event has occurred (it being acknowledged, however, that any underlying cause thereof may be taken into account for purposes of determining whether an Intervening Event has occurred); and New York meeting or exceeding projections shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether an Intervening Event has occurred (it being acknowledged, however, that any underlying cause thereof may be taken into account for purposes of determining whether an Intervening Event has occurred).

(d) New York shall promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt) notify London orally and in writing of the receipt, directly or indirectly, of (i) any New York Acquisition Proposal or a proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to a New York Acquisition Proposal or (ii) any inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations relating to a possible New York Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall indicate the identity of the Person or group making such inquiry, request, proposal, offer or New York Acquisition Proposal and the material terms and conditions thereof (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements, received from such Person or group or their representatives). Thereafter, New York shall keep London promptly informed (including within twenty-four (24) hours after the occurrence of any amendment or modification, development, discussion or negotiation) orally and in writing in all material respects of the status and substance of such inquiry, request, proposal, offer or New York Acquisition Proposal, including providing London with copies of any written inquiries, correspondence and draft documentation received from such Person or group and written summaries of any material oral inquiries or discussions. Without limiting any of the foregoing, New York shall promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours) notify London orally and in writing if New York begins furnishing information or participating in discussions or negotiations pursuant to Section 5.1(a).

(e) Nothing contained in this Section 5.1 shall prohibit New York or the New York Board from (i) taking and disclosing to New York’s stockholders a position contemplated by or complying with any disclosure obligations under Exchange Act Rules 14d-9 or 14e-2 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of New York if, in the good faith judgment of the New York Board (after consultation with outside counsel), the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably likely be inconsistent with its obligations or duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that clause (ii) shall not be deemed to permit the New York Board to make a New York Adverse Recommendation Change or take any of the actions referred to in Section 5.1(b) or Section 5.1(c), except to the extent permitted by such Section.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any factually accurate public statement by New York that describes New York’s receipt of a New York Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed to be a New York Adverse Recommendation Change.

(g) Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1 by any Representative of New York or its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.1 by the New York Parties.

(h) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “New York Acquisition Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person relating to any (A) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase, in a single transaction or a series of transactions, of assets or a business of New York or its Subsidiaries that constitutes or generates 20% or more of the consolidated net revenue, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (on an estimated current replacement cost basis) for the preceding twelve (12) months or the assets of New York and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (B) direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of 20% or more of any class of equity securities (by vote or value) of New York or any of its Subsidiaries, (C) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person beneficially owning 20% or more of the equity securities (by vote or value) of New York or any of its Subsidiaries, (D) merger, consolidation, business combination, asset purchase, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, binding share exchange or similar transaction involving New York or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to which any Person (or the stockholders of any Person) would own, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting Capital Stock of New York or any of its Subsidiaries or the surviving entity in a merger or the resulting direct or indirect parent of New York or such surviving entity or (E) any combination of the foregoing, in each case other than the Transactions.

(i) London shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries to and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause London’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to, any London Acquisition Proposal, (ii) use reasonable best efforts to have all copies of all nonpublic information that London, its Subsidiaries and London’s or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives have previously furnished or distributed on or prior to the date of this Agreement to any such Person promptly returned or destroyed, (iii) not terminate, waive, amend, release or modify any provision of any confidentiality agreement or standstill agreement to which it or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party with respect to any London Acquisition Proposal or potential London Acquisition Proposal and (iv) enforce any such agreement. From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing and the date of termination of this Agreement, London shall not, shall cause its Subsidiaries not to and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause London’s and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate, endorse, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing nonpublic information), or take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a London Acquisition Proposal, (B) enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement constituting or related to, or that is intended to or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any London Acquisition Proposal or that would require London to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the Transactions or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, (C) enter into, initiate, continue or otherwise participate in any way in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish or disclose to any Person (other than a Party) any nonpublic information with respect to, or take any other action to knowingly facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any London Acquisition Proposal or (D) resolve, agree or propose to do any of the foregoing. London shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify New York orally and in writing of the receipt, directly or indirectly, of a London Acquisition Proposal or a proposal or offer that is reasonably likely to lead to a London Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or request for discussions or negotiations relating to a possible London Acquisition Proposal.

If at any time prior to the Closing, any information relating to the New York Parties or the London Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, company supervisors or officers, should be discovered by the New York Parties or the London Parties which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or Form S-4, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, the Party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Party and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be prepared and disseminated to the stockholders of New York to the extent required by Law.

New York shall, through the New York Board, recommend to its stockholders that they give the New York Stockholder Approval (the “New York Recommendation”) and the New York Recommendation shall be set forth in the Proxy Statement, except, in each case, to the extent that the New York Board shall have made a New York Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.1(b) or (c).

(d) London shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare a notice (together with any supplement or amendment thereto, the “London Notice”) relating to the meeting of London’s stockholders to be held for the purpose of obtaining the London Stockholder Approval (such meeting, the “London Stockholder Meeting”) in accordance and in compliance with Taiwan Law (including the rules of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation).

Section 5.6 Employees.

(a) Within ninety (90) calendar days after the date of this Agreement, London shall provide to New York a list of (i) each Business Employee located in Taiwan (the “London Taiwan Employees”) and (ii) each Business Employee located in the United States and the PRC (the “Assumed Employees”), together with each such employee’s position, base compensation payable, bonus opportunity, target incentive compensation opportunity, date of hire, employment status and job classification. As promptly as practicable thereafter, the Parties shall agree on a list of London Taiwan Employees and Assumed Employees who shall be treated as “Critical Employees” for purposes of this Agreement. London shall promptly notify New York if any London Taiwan Employee or Assumed Employee ceases to be a Business Employee after the list of such employees has been provided to New York. London shall obtain New York’s prior written consent to classify any additional Business Employee or individual as a Critical Employee after the initial Critical Employee designation has been agreed to by the Parties.

(b) New York will cause each Assumed Employee to be provided with a base rate of pay and, to the extent applicable, target incentive compensation opportunities at least equal to those in effect in respect of the Assumed Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date and New York will cause each Assumed Employee to be provided with benefits similar in the aggregate to the benefits maintained in respect of the Assumed Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, in each case for a period of not less than one (1) year following the Closing Date in respect of Assumed Employees who are not Critical Employees or three (3) years following the Closing Date in respect of Assumed Employees who are Critical Employees. All Assumed Employees shall be required, within ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, to sign the New York ethics policy document and, as appropriate, the non-competition and confidentiality agreements that are required for similarly situated newly hired or re-hired New York employees and contractors, and any Assumed Employee who fails to sign such policy and agreements shall be terminated without payment of severance, except to the extent required by applicable Laws.

(c) No later than thirty (30) calendar days prior to the record date of the Taiwan Spin-Off (the “Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date”), London shall cause London Taiwan NewCo Sub to give written offers of employment to each London Taiwan Employee in accordance with Article 16 of the Taiwan Business Mergers and Acquisitions Act (the “Taiwan M&A Act”), which shall provide for continued employment effective as of Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date (or, in the case of London Taiwan Employees who are not actively employed as of the Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date due to short-term disability, long-term disability or approved leave of absence (collectively, the “Taiwan LOA Employees”), effective as of the Taiwan LOA Employee’s return to active employment not more than one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days following the Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date) with a base rate of pay and, to the extent applicable, target incentive compensation opportunities at least equal to those in effect in respect of the London Taiwan Employee immediately prior to the Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date and with benefits similar in the aggregate to the benefits maintained in respect of the London Taiwan Employee immediately prior to the Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date. For one (1) year after the Closing Date, UK Holdco shall cause London Taiwan NewCo Sub not to terminate, except for cause, which shall include any cause under Articles 11 and 12 of the Labor Standards Act of Taiwan, the employment of any Transferred Taiwan Employee. Offers of employment made by London Taiwan NewCo Sub pursuant to this Section 5.6(c) will be made in accordance with all applicable Laws, be conditioned on (i) executing an ethics policy document, non-competition agreement and confidentiality agreement, in each case, that New York or a New York Affiliate requires its similarly situated Taiwan employees to execute and (ii) the occurrence of the Taiwan Spin-Off, and remain open for a period of at least ten (10) calendar days. Employees may accept or reject such offer of employment by notice in writing within such 10-day period, and those who do not notify within such period shall be deemed to have accepted the offer of employment in accordance with the Taiwan M&A Act. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, London shall provide to New York copies of all written offers of employment made to the London Taiwan Employees within five (5) Business Days of providing written offers to the London Taiwan Employees. At least seven (7) calendar days prior to the Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date, London shall notify New York in writing of the London Taiwan Employees who have accepted or are deemed to have accepted offers of employment with London Taiwan NewCo Sub (each a “Transferred Taiwan Employee”). Employment with London Taiwan NewCo Sub of Transferred Taiwan Employees shall be effective as of the Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date or, in the case of a Transferred Taiwan Employee who is a Taiwan LOA Employee, as of the Taiwan LOA Employee’s return to active employment within one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days following the Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law (the effective time of employment, the “Taiwan Employee Transfer Time”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Transferred Taiwan Employee who is a Taiwan LOA Employee shall be treated as an employee of London or its Affiliates other than London Taiwan NewCo Sub unless and until the Taiwan LOA Employee returns to active employment within one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days following the Taiwan Spin-Off Record Date (or such later date as may be required by applicable Law). Except as provided below, London and New York shall be responsible for equally sharing any costs, obligations or Liabilities, including statutorily mandated severance pay, which may result from the termination of employment by London of any London Taiwan Employee who is offered employment with London Taiwan NewCo Sub pursuant to this Section 5.6(c) but who does not accept such offer of employment; provided however, that London shall be solely responsible for any severance payments to the extent in excess of the severance payments mandated by applicable Laws. All Transferred Taiwan Employees shall be eligible to continue to participate in the statutory labor and health insurance programs and pension schemes required by applicable Laws.

(d) To the extent required by applicable Law, (i) London will pay or cause to be paid to each Transferred Taiwan Employee all salary or other compensation or employment benefits which have accrued to the Transferred Taiwan Employee prior to the Closing Date, or, if later, the Taiwan Employee Transfer Time, for a Transferred Taiwan Employee (such times, as applicable, together with the Closing Date for the Assumed Employees, the “Transfer Time”) and (ii) each Transferred Taiwan Employee shall be entitled to receive from London Taiwan NewCo Sub any unused earned or accrued vacation time or other paid time off that he or she may have earned in the calendar year immediately prior to, and including, the Transfer Time; provided, however, that, if London Taiwan NewCo Sub deems it necessary (to the extent permitted by applicable Laws) to disallow such Transferred Taiwan Employee from taking such earned or accrued vacation time or other paid time off and such time cannot be rescheduled during the year of the Closing, London Taiwan NewCo Sub shall be liable for and pay in cash to each Transferred Taiwan Employee an amount equal to the time not taken as provided under the terms of the applicable vacation and paid time off policy of London or its Affiliates as in effect immediately prior to the Transfer Time; and provided, further, that upon the termination of employment of a Transferred Taiwan Employee during the year of the Closing, such Person shall receive a cash payment from London Taiwan NewCo Sub equal to the amount of such Person’s unused earned or accrued vacation time or other paid time off as of the termination of employment.

(e) New York or London Taiwan NewCo Sub shall not assume any of the London Group Plans other than the Business Plans and shall have no obligations or Liabilities with respect to the London Group Plans other than the Business Plans unless provided for under this Section 5.6 or applicable Laws; provided, however, that this Section 5.6(e) is subject to Section 5.6(b), Section 5.6(c) and Section 5.6(n) and to the extent this Section 5.6(e) conflicts with either Section 5.6(b), Section 5.6(c) or Section 5.6(n), the terms of Section 5.6(b), Section 5.6(c) or Section 5.6(n), as applicable, shall govern. Without limiting the preceding provisions of this Section 5.6, beginning at the Transfer Time, the employee benefit plans that New York, New York’s Affiliates or London Taiwan NewCo Sub maintain, contribute to or participate in shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, made available to each Transferred Taiwan Employee if and when, and on the same terms and conditions, as such plan would be made available to a new employee of London Taiwan NewCo Sub who is similarly situated to the Transferred Taiwan Employee.

(f) Each Assumed Employee and Transferred Taiwan Employee shall become eligible to participate in a group health plan of New York or a New York Affiliate effective as of the Transfer Time. With respect to any group health plan or program of New York or New York’s Affiliates in which an Assumed Employee or Transferred Taiwan Employee becomes eligible to participate as of the Closing or thereafter, New York shall ensure that such Assumed Employee or Transferred Taiwan Employee shall (i) in the calendar year of the Closing receive credit for any deductibles, co-pays or other out-of-pocket expenses paid under the corresponding group health plan or program of London or its Affiliates for such calendar year, and (ii) not be subject to any pre-existing condition limitations to the extent that such pre-existing condition limitation did not apply to such Assumed Employee or Transferred Taiwan Employee under the corresponding group health plan or program of London or its Affiliates. Alternatively, London agrees that New York may, in its sole discretion, continue the group health plans or programs maintained by London prior to the Closing Date and allow Assumed Employees and Transferred Taiwan Employees to continue their participation in such plans following the Closing Date.

(g) New York and New York’s Affiliates shall credit each Assumed Employee and Transferred Taiwan Employee with the same number of years of service, including partial years of service, as the Assumed Employee or Transferred Taiwan Employee is credited with by London or its Affiliates (or any other employer service which was previously recognized by London or its Affiliates), under the applicable benefit plan sponsored by New York or New York’s Affiliates to the extent allowable by applicable Laws. The service credit required by this Section 5.6(g) shall apply for all purposes under any health, severance, vacation, sick or any similar paid-time off program or other employee welfare benefit plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA) of New York or New York’s Affiliates and for purposes of eligibility to participate (other than for a frozen plan or program), vesting and eligibility for a particular form or type of benefit, but not benefit accruals, under any savings or other employee pension benefit plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) of New York or New York’s Affiliates.

(h) During the Transition Period, London shall make its employees who are not Business Employees but who provide services related to the Business available to provide services to New York or London Taiwan NewCo Sub, as the case may be, pursuant to a transition services agreement or a shared services agreement. At the end of the Transition Period with respect to a particular aspect of the Business, subject to the agreement of London, New York or London Taiwan NewCo Sub, as the case may be, shall have the opportunity to make additional offers of employment to any such employees.

(i) Effective not later than immediately before the Closing, New York shall amend the New York Plan identified on Section 5.6(i) of the New York Disclosure Letter to reduce the ownership interest requirement for a change in control from 50% to 40% with respect to transactions (other than merger or consolidation transactions) that may occur subsequent to the Transactions. With respect to any options to acquire or restricted or unrestricted equity awards of UK Holdco Common Stock granted to employees, officers, consultants and directors after the Closing Date under New York’s 2009 Equity Incentive Plan or other equity plan adopted by UK Holdco or New York or its Affiliates after the Closing Date, New York or UK Holdco, as applicable, shall cause (or New York shall cause its Affiliates to cause) the vesting or exercisability of any such options and equity awards not to accelerate after their grant date if after the grant date the aggregate share holdings of London and its respective Affiliates comes to exceed 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the UK Holdco Common Stock solely due to a decrease in the total number of shares of UK Holdco Common Stock that are outstanding.

(j) With respect to Business Employees to whom New York or London Taiwan NewCo Sub extends an offer of employment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.6, each London Group Company hereby waives and agrees to waive any non-competition, confidentiality or other employment Contract obligation for the sole purpose of permitting such employee to accept such employment offer.

(k) The London Group Companies shall cause each of their respective Business Employees located in the United States to have as of the Closing a fully nonforfeitable right to such employee’s accrued benefits, if any, under any London Group Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. Upon the written request from New York not more than thirty (30) calendar days before the Closing Date, London shall cause the 401(k) plan maintained in respect of Business Employees in the United States to be terminated as of not later than immediately before the Closing Date.

(l) The provisions of this Agreement are for the benefit of the New York Parties and the London Parties only, and no employee of any London Group Company or any other Person shall have any rights hereunder.

(m) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the terms and conditions of any employment offer under this Section 5.6 and any employment after the Transfer Time for any Assumed Employee or Transferred Taiwan Employee whose employment is subject to a collective bargaining agreement or similar Contract with any labor organization or employee association shall be governed by such agreement or Contract until its expiration, modification or termination in accordance with its terms and applicable Laws.

(n) The New York Parties shall have no liability related to any existing equity grants made by any London Party to any of the Business Employees.

(o) Unless a shorter period is specified, the provisions of this Section 5.6 shall only apply from and after the date of this Agreement until three (3) years after the Closing.

Section 5.11 Post-Closing Consents. After the Closing until two (2) years after the Closing, each of the Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the approvals and consents they were responsible for obtaining (or submitting an application to obtain) prior to or after the Closing and assist in any filings for which they are responsible, in each case as such approvals, consents and filings are required of them in connection with the Transactions and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are requested by the other Party and that have not been previously obtained or made; provided, however, that no Party shall be required to make any material payments, incur any material Liability or offer or grant any material accommodation (financial or otherwise) to any third party to obtain any such consent or approval and in no event shall London or any of its Affiliates be obligated to provide any guarantee or other credit support to New York and its Affiliates (including the Companies) in connection therewith.

After such 18-month period, the Trademark Licensees shall discontinue all use of any such names and marks and any Trademarks related thereto or containing or comprising such names, including any confusingly similar or dilutive variations thereof (the “London Marks”). In furtherance thereof, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, New York shall cause each of the Trademark Licensees to remove, strike over, or otherwise obliterate all London Marks from all assets and other materials owned by any Trademark Licensees, including any vehicles, business cards, schedules, stationery, packaging materials, displays, signs, promotional materials, manuals, forms, websites, email, computer software and other materials and systems.

The Trademark Licensees agree to use the London Marks in a form and manner, and with quality standards, of that in effect for the London Marks as of the Closing Date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit London’s ability to use the London Marks in any way following the Closing Date. The New York Parties (on behalf of themselves and the other Trademark Licensees) represent and warrant that the Trademark Licensees will not contest ownership, validity or enforceability of the London Marks. The Trademark Licensees shall not use the London Marks in a manner that may reflect negatively on such name and marks or on London. London shall have the right to terminate the foregoing license if any of the Trademark Licensees fail to comply with the foregoing terms and conditions or otherwise fail to comply with any reasonable direction of London in relation to the use of the London Marks, and such failure cannot be cured or, if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure is given to New York. The Trademark Licensees shall indemnify and hold harmless London and its Affiliates for any Indemnified Amounts arising from or relating to the use by the Trademark Licensees of the London Marks pursuant to this Section 5.27. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 5.27 would be inadequate and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, London shall be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy, and without posting any bond or other undertaking, in any claim, action, suit, litigation or other proceeding which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 5.27.

104

(b) Pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5.27(b) and Section 5.27(c), from and after Closing, London hereby grants, and shall cause each of its Affiliates to grant, to the Trademark Licensees, and the Trademark Licensees agree to accept, a worldwide, fully-paid up, royalty-free, nonexclusive license to the names and marks set forth in Section 5.27(b) of the London Disclosure Letter (“Globalprene Marks”) to use in connection with the Business (the “Globalprene License”). The Trademark Licensees agree to use the Globalprene Marks consistent with the form and manner, and with quality standards, of that in effect for the Globalprene Marks as of the Closing Date or as otherwise reasonably directed by London from time to time. The Parties agree that except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.27, London retains all right, title and interest in, to and under the Globalprene Marks and London and its Affiliates may assign or license the Globalprene Marks to any Affiliate or non-Affiliate of London; provided, that, during the term of the Globalprene License, any such non-Affiliate assignee or non-Affiliate licensee agrees not to use the Globalprene Marks in connection with its conduct of any business of researching, producing and selling styrenic block copolymers (except to the extent such conduct is on behalf of London or any of its Affiliates). All goodwill generated by the Trademark Licensees’ use of the Globalprene Marks pursuant to this Section 5.27 shall inure to the benefit of London and its Affiliates. The New York Parties (on behalf of themselves and the other Trademark Licensees) agree that the Trademark Licensees will not contest the ownership, validity or enforceability of the Globalprene Marks. New York agrees that the Trademark Licensees will not use the Globalprene Marks in a manner that may reflect negatively on such name and marks. The Parties agree that upon the reasonable request, and at the cost and expense, of any of the Trademark Licensees, London shall use reasonable efforts to procure that the Globalprene License be duly registered with the relevant authorities to the extent required by applicable Laws.

(c) The Parties agree that the term of the Globalprene License will be for an initial period of fifteen (15) years following the Closing Date. The Parties agree that during such fifteen (15) year period, the license shall be irrevocable; provided, however, the license shall terminate if the Trademark Licensees cease to use the Globalprene Marks for a period of five (5) consecutive years or if any of the Trademark Licensees fail to comply with the terms and conditions set forth herein or otherwise fail to comply with any reasonable direction of London in relation to the use of the Globalprene Marks, and such failure cannot be cured or, if curable, is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of such failure is given to New York. The Parties agree that after such fifteen (15) year period, the remaining term of the Globalprene License shall be determined as follows: (i) if London (or any of its Affiliates) beneficially owns 10% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of UK Holdco Common Stock, the Parties may extend the term of the license, by mutual agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed for a five (5) year term and successive five (5) year terms thereafter, and (ii) if London (or any of its Affiliates) beneficially owns less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of UK Holdco Common Stock, the license term will be automatically extended for five (5) additional years and will then terminate. The Parties agree the Globalprene License includes the right of New York to request that London register the Globalprene Marks in additional countries at New York’s cost and expense, subject to London’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and for clarity, London shall retain ownership of the Globalprene Marks. The Trademark Licensees shall indemnify and hold harmless London and its Affiliates for any Indemnified Amounts arising from or relating to the use by the Trademark Licensees of the Globalprene Marks pursuant to this Section 5.27. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at Law for any breach of the requirements of this Section 5.27 would be inadequate and agrees and consents that without intending to limit any additional remedies that may be available, London shall be entitled to a temporary or permanent injunction, without proof of actual damage or inadequacy of legal remedy, and without posting any bond or other undertaking, in any claim, action, suit, litigation or other proceeding which may be brought to enforce any of the provisions of this Section 5.27.

(a) Subject to Section 8.3 of the Shareholder Agreement, UK Holdco and New York hereby grant, and shall cause each of their Affiliates (including the Companies) to grant, to London and its Affiliates, and London (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby accepts, a non-exclusive, worldwide, fully-paid up, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable license to all know-how primarily used in or relating to the Business to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, export, reproduce, and prepare derivative works in connection with the conduct of any of the London Businesses (“Licensed Field of Use”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, London and its Affiliates (and each of their sublicensees and successors and assigns) shall retain the right to use information in non-tangible form that is included in the London Intellectual Property Rights and retained in the memories of London’s or its Affiliates’ employees, contractors or agents who have had access to London Intellectual Property prior to the Closing Date, and New York and its Affiliates shall have the right to use information in non-tangible form relating to Intellectual Property not primarily used in or relating to the Business and retained in the memories of any Assumed Employees who have had access to any such Intellectual Property prior to the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 5.28, “London Businesses” shall mean the businesses of London as conducted by London and its Affiliates immediately following the Closing.

(b) London and its Affiliates may grant one or more sublicenses under the license granted to London and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.28(a); provided, however, that London and its Affiliates shall not grant any sublicenses under such license to any unaffiliated third party without New York’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any sublicense granted under this Agreement must (i) be consistent with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) be limited to the Licensed Field of Use. London shall be jointly and severally liable to New York for any breach of this Agreement or any sublicense by any sublicensee. Each sublicense shall provide that the sublicense shall automatically terminate if the sublicensee uses the licensed know-how outside of the Licensed Field of Use and the sublicensee fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of London providing the sublicensee with written notice of such breach.

106

(c) London and its Affiliates may transfer the license granted to London and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 5.28(a) in whole or in part to a successor that has acquired substantially all of the applicable London business to which the transferred license relates. Succession shall include, but shall not be limited to, acquisition, merger, change of corporate name, or change in the make-up, organization or identity of London and its Affiliates. The transferee shall also be subject to all of the conditions stated in this license. London shall notify New York in writing within thirty (30) days after such a transfer occurs. New York may, at its discretion, require that a new license be signed by the successor; provided, that any such new license shall be consistent with, and shall include terms no more restrictive with respect to the applicable successor than, the terms set forth herein.

Section 5.29 Wrong Pockets. For a period of two (2) years following the Closing Date, in the event that, at any time, or from time to time, London or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand (the “London Wrong Pocket Entities”), or UK Holdco, New York, any Company or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand (the “New York Wrong Pocket Entities” and together with the London Wrong Pocket Entities, the “Discovering Entity”), shall become aware that (a) any New York Wrong Pocket Entity has received or possesses any Intellectual Property, tangible embodiments thereof or IP Contract that is not primarily used in or related to the Business (collectively, the “London Wrong Pockets Assets”) or (b) that any London Wrong Pocket Entity possesses any Intellectual Property, tangible embodiments thereof or IP Contract that is primarily used in or related to the Business (including London Intellectual Property in Progress) (collectively, the “New York Wrong Pockets Assets”), UK Holdco (if the Discovering Entity is a New York Wrong Pocket Entity) and London (if the Discovering Entity is a London Wrong Pocket Entity) shall provide London (if the Discovering Entity is a New York Wrong Pocket Entity) or New York (if the Discovering Entity is a London Wrong Pocket Entity), respectively, with written notice thereof. Promptly following delivery of such notice, UK Holdco, in the case of any London Wrong Pockets Assets, and London, in the case of any New York Wrong Pockets Assets, shall cause the applicable New York Wrong Pocket Entity or London Wrong Pocket Entity, respectively, to use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly transfer, or cause to be transferred, the applicable London Wrong Pockets Asset to London or its designated Affiliate or the applicable New York Wrong Pockets Asset to UK Holdco or its designated Affiliate, as applicable. Prior to any such transfer, the Person receiving or possessing the applicable asset shall hold such asset in trust for London or UK Holdco, as applicable.

Section 5.30 Disapplication; Shareholder Approval. No later than immediately prior to the Closing, New York, in its capacity as the then sole shareholder of UK Holdco, shall (a) take all action necessary to disapply or modify the preemptive rights applicable to UK Holdco under Applicable Law for a period of five (5) years after the adoption of the UK Holdco Articles of Association so as to permit the exercise of the preemptive rights set forth in Section 6.1 of the Shareholder Agreement (the “Contractual Preemptive Rights”), (b) approve and adopt the Shareholder Agreement for purposes of obtaining the required shareholder approval under the rules and regulations of the NYSE, including Section 312 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (Shareholder Approval Policy), in order to permit the exercise of the Contractual Preemptive Rights and (c) pass a resolution in compliance with applicable Laws authorizing the terms of the Shareholder Agreement for purposes of Section 694 of the UK Companies Xxx 0000 and providing that the authority does not expire for five (5) years after such resolution is passed.

107

Section 5.31 Conflicts. Prior to the Closing, the board of directors of UK Holdco shall pass a resolution, in form and substance satisfactory to London, authorizing to the fullest extent permitted by Law, including with respect to Section 175 of the UK Companies Xxx 0000, the relationships and affiliations that each London Designee has to London and its Affiliates that have been disclosed at any time prior to the Closing in writing to the Board, and the interests and duties each such London Designee has in relation thereto that have been disclosed at any time prior to the Closing in writing to the Board in general terms, and authorizing, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, each such London Designee to act as a director of UK Holdco notwithstanding any conflict, or possible conflict, with the interests of UK Holdco that may arise from such relationships and affiliations with London and its Affiliates or such interests or duties related thereto.

Section 5.32 Services Agreements. Between the date of this Agreement and the completion of the Taiwan Spin-Off, the Parties will negotiate in good faith the terms of various services, supplies and transition agreements (the “Service Agreements”) necessary for the ongoing operation of the Companies and, to the extent required as a result of the Transactions, London and its Affiliates, from and after the Closing, consistent with the terms and provisions set forth on Exhibit B and such other terms and conditions to be agreed upon by the Parties in writing. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Parties shall cause the Service Agreements to be executed and delivered in such forms by the appropriate parties thereto at the Closing. In the event of a conflict between any of the terms of the Service Agreements and this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.

Section 5.33 Confidentiality Agreement. New York and London agree that their respective obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue and remain in effect until the Closing, upon which such obligations shall expire. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof prior to the Closing, (a) the restrictions provided for in paragraph 7 thereof shall remain in effect for eighteen (18) months from the date of such termination and (b) the other obligations and provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect for two (2) years from the date of such termination.

Section 5.34 UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers. As promptly as reasonably practicable after execution of this Agreement, London and New York shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain confirmation from the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers that the UK Takeover Code shall not apply to UK Holdco at the time of Closing or immediately thereafter. In connection with obtaining such confirmation, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of London and New York shall (i) reasonably cooperate with each other, (ii) furnish any additional information requested by, or reasonably necessary to obtain the confirmation of, the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, and (iii) take any other steps as may be reasonably necessary to obtain such confirmation (including appealing any adverse decision or failure to receive confirmation). In the event that such confirmation is not obtained by the date that is 120 days after the date of execution of this Agreement or if prior to that time the Takeover Appeal Board has made a final, nonappealable determination that the UK Takeover Code would apply to UK Holdco at the time of Closing, then either London or New York shall have sixty (60) days after such date or determination, as the case may be, to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(vi); provided, however, that if the Agreement is not terminated by either London or New York by the end of such 60-day period, then each of London and New York shall have been deemed to have waived (x) its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(vi) and (y) the closing condition in Section 7.1(i).

108

Article VI

Section 6.1 London Parties’ Indemnity Obligation. From and after the Closing, the London Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each New York Indemnified Party against, and hold each New York Indemnified Party harmless from and against, any and all claims, actions, causes of action, proceedings, arbitrations, losses, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, amounts, penalties, assessments and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation and defense) (the “Indemnified Amounts”) sustained by the New York Indemnified Parties that arise out of or result from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty, except for Section 3.14(b)(i), made by or on behalf of any London Party in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered in connection herewith (without giving effect to any supplement after the date hereof to the London Disclosure Letter);

(b) any breach or nonfulfillment by any London Party of, or default by, any London Party under any covenant in this Agreement;

(d) the Excluded Taxes; or

(e) any matters on Section 6.1(e) of the London Disclosure Letter.

Section 6.2 The New York Parties’ Indemnity Obligations. From and after the Closing, the New York Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify each London Indemnified Party against, and hold each London Indemnified Party harmless from and against, any and all Indemnified Amounts sustained by the London Indemnified Parties that arise out of or result from:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by or on behalf of either New York Party in this Agreement or any certificate delivered in connection herewith (without giving effect to any supplement after the date hereof to the New York Disclosure Letter);

(b) any breach or nonfulfillment by any New York Party of, or default by, any New York Party under any covenant in this Agreement;

109

(d) any Liabilities of New York and its Affiliates (including the Companies) based on acts or omissions occurring after the Closing and related to the Business as conducted by New York and its Affiliates (including the Companies);

except to the extent such Indemnified Amounts arise out of or result from a matter for which indemnification would be provided under Section 6.1.

Section 6.3 Survival; Threshold and Limits of Liability.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing Date, and all liability of the Parties with respect to covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed at or prior to the Closing shall terminate on such date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in Section 3.13 and Section 4.13 shall survive the Closing until the date that is three (3) years after the Closing Date; (ii) the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in Section 3.10 and Section 4.10 shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to the matters provided for within such sections; (iii) the Category 1 London Representations and the Category 1 New York Representations shall survive the Closing until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to contracts under seal in the State of Delaware; and (iv) any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement that provides for performance after the Closing shall survive in accordance with its terms (or, if no period is stated therein, then shall survive indefinitely); provided, however, that any claim presented for indemnification under this Article VI for any breach or nonfulfillment of any such post-Closing covenant or agreement must be brought within three (3) years of such breach or nonfulfillment (except in the event this Agreement provides for a shorter period, in such case, such shorter period). The applicable time period for which a provision survives as provided in this Section 6.3 is referred to as the “Survival Period.” The Parties agree that no claims or causes of action may be brought against any Party based upon, directly or indirectly, any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement after the applicable Survival Period set forth in this Section 6.3, provided, that no claim presented for indemnification pursuant to this Article VI prior to the expiration of its Survival Period shall be affected in any way by the expiration of such Survival Period.

(b) The London Parties shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless the New York Indemnified Parties for any Indemnified Amounts arising under Section 6.1(a) (other than with respect to breaches of the Category 2 London Representations, as to which the Threshold Amount shall not apply) unless the aggregate Indemnified Amount for which the London Parties are obligated to indemnify the New York Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 6.1(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount. In the event such aggregate Indemnified Amount exceeds the Threshold Amount, the indemnification obligations of the London Parties pursuant to Section 6.1(a) shall apply only to those Indemnified Amounts sustained by the New York Indemnified Parties in excess of the Threshold Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the London Parties shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless the New York Indemnified Parties for any individual item (or series of items arising from the same facts and circumstances) arising under Section 6.1(a) if the respective Indemnified Amount is less than $225,000 (the “De Minimis Threshold”), and any such items below the De Minimis Threshold shall not be taken into account in determining whether the Threshold Amount has been exceeded or otherwise for purposes of indemnification hereunder. In no event shall the London Parties’ aggregate liability to the New York Indemnified Parties under Section 6.1(a) (other than with respect to breaches of the Category 2 London Representations, as to which the Ceiling Amount shall not apply) exceed the Ceiling Amount.

110

(c) No New York Party shall be required to indemnify or hold harmless the London Indemnified Parties for any Indemnified Amounts arising under Section 6.2(a) (other than with respect to breaches of the Category 2 New York Representations, as to which the Threshold Amount shall not apply) unless the aggregate Indemnified Amount for which the New York Parties are obligated to indemnify the London Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 6.2(a) exceeds the Threshold Amount. In the event such aggregate Indemnified Amount exceeds the Threshold Amount, the indemnification obligations of the New York Parties pursuant to Section 6.2(a) shall apply only to those Indemnified Amounts sustained by the London Indemnified Parties in excess of the Threshold Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the New York Parties shall not be required to indemnify or hold harmless the London Indemnified Parties for any individual item (or series of items arising from the same facts and circumstances) arising under Section 6.2(a) if the respective Indemnified Amount is less than the De Minimis Threshold, and any such items below the De Minimis Threshold shall not be taken into account in determining whether the Threshold Amount has been exceeded or otherwise for purposes of indemnification hereunder. In no event shall the New York Parties’ aggregate liability to the London Indemnified Parties under Section 6.2(a) (other than with respect to breaches of the Category 2 New York Representations, as to which the Ceiling Amount shall not apply) exceed the Ceiling Amount.

(d) For purposes of this Article VI, the existence of any breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, and the calculation of any Indemnified Amount in respect thereof, shall be determined without giving effect as to any qualification contained in such representation and warranty as to materiality, including London Material Adverse Effect or New York Material Adverse Effect.

Section 6.4 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification under this Agreement shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) Promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days) after receipt by a Person entitled to indemnity under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the assertion of a claim against an Indemnified Party by a Person that is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall give notice in writing, and in reasonable detail, to the Person obligated to indemnify under such Section (an “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim (except that the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not be liable for any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third-Party Claim during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice); provided, that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third-Party Claim.

111

(b) If an Indemnified Party gives notice to the Indemnifying Party pursuant to the preceding paragraph of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled (but shall not be required) to participate in, assume, control the defense of and settle such Third-Party Claim at such Indemnifying Party’s own cost and expense and with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article VI for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will establish a rebuttable presumption for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, and (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person; (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; and (C) the Indemnified Party shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an Indemnifying Party of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Party.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) there exists a conflict of interest or potential conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the applicable Indemnified Party, (ii) a Third-Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for damages other than monetary damages for which it would be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) Business Days after notice from the Indemnified Party of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, by notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such Third-Party Claim, but the Indemnifying Party will not be bound by any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(d) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VI: (i) both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof, and (ii) the Parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim, including, subject to Section 6.4(e), making available to the Party assuming control of the defense all witnesses, pertinent and material information and materials in such Party’s possession or under such Party’s control relating thereto as are reasonably required by such Party controlling the defense.

112

(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article VI, the Parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each Party agrees that: (i) it will use its reasonable best efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable Law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any Party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(f) If any Indemnified Party has determined that any matter has given rise to a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the “Indemnity Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, an estimate of the amount of damages attributable to such claim to the extent feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim), and the provisions of this Agreement that are the basis of the Indemnified Party’s request for indemnification under this Agreement. Such Indemnified Party shall provide an Indemnity Notice within sixty (60) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) of (in the case of New York) its chief executive officer, chief financial officer or general counsel or (in the case of London) its president or principal legal officer determining that such party will or is likely to assert such claim. Failure to notify the Indemnifying Party within the Notice Period will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that the liability claimed in such Indemnity Notice increased during the period between the end of the Notice Period and the date on which such Indemnity Notice was transmitted to the Indemnifying Party. For thirty (30) Business Days from and after receipt of the Indemnity Notice, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its officers, attorneys, accountants and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the Indemnified Party’s offices, personnel, properties, equipment and records for the purpose of conducting an investigation of the matter identified in the Indemnity Notice. The Indemnified Party shall furnish the Indemnifying Party with such additional information as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, no Party shall be required to, or to cause any of its Subsidiaries to, grant access or furnish information to any other Party or any of its Representatives (i) to the extent that such information is subject to an attorney-client or attorney-work-product privilege, (ii) if such access or the furnishing of such information is prohibited by applicable Law (including the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws) or an existing contract or agreement or (iii) if such access or the furnishing of such information would result in damage to such Party, provided, however, that in the case of (i) or (ii), the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure under such circumstances. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver a written response within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of the Indemnity Notice disputing such claim, the claim identified therein shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and shall be paid promptly.

113

Section 6.5 General.

(a) No New York Party nor any London Party shall have any right to set off any Indemnified Amounts against any other payments to be made by either of them under this Agreement.

(b) Any liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of any state of facts (i) giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or (ii) taken into account in determining any adjustment to the consideration payable under Article II of this Agreement. In no event shall any Party be liable under this Article VI or otherwise in respect of this Agreement for exemplary, punitive, speculative or remote damages, except to the extent incurred to an un-Affiliated third party in connection with a Third-Party Claim, in which event such damages shall be recoverable.

(c) The Parties agree that, following the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy of any Party to this Agreement, any New York Indemnified Party or any London Indemnified Party or their respective Affiliates with respect to this Agreement or any other claims relating to the Business, the Conveyance Properties or the Subject Shares, the events giving rise to this Agreement and the Transactions and other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by any other such claims relating to the Business, Conveyance Properties or Subject Shares, in each case other than with respect to (i) covenants that by their terms are to be performed after Closing (which may also be specifically enforced pursuant to Section 9.1(b)) and (ii) claims of, and causes of action arising from, fraud, shall be limited to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.15, Section 5.16, Section 5.18(c), Section 5.27 and this Article VI and, in furtherance of the foregoing, each of the Parties, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, waives and releases the other Parties to this Agreement (and such other Parties’ Affiliates) from, to the fullest extent permitted under any applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it or its Affiliates may have against the other Parties to this Agreement except as aforesaid and as provided by this Agreement.

(d) The Parties intend that, even though indemnification obligations appear in various sections and articles of this Agreement, the indemnification procedures and limitations contained in this Article VI shall apply to all indemnity obligations of the Parties under this Agreement, except to the extent expressly excluded in this Article VI.

(e) The indemnification provisions in this Article VI shall be enforceable regardless of whether any Person (including the Person from whom indemnification is sought) alleges or proves the sole, concurrent, contributory or comparative negligence of the Person seeking indemnification or the sole or concurrent strict liability imposed upon the Person seeking indemnification. The rights of the Parties to indemnification under this Article VI shall not be limited due to (i) any investigations heretofore or hereafter made by such Parties or their representatives, regardless of negligence in the conduct of any such investigations or (ii) the knowledge of any Party of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by another Party at any time, or the decision of any Party to complete the Closing. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by the Parties shall not be deemed merged into any instruments or agreements delivered in connection with the Closing or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

114

Section 6.6 Retention of Records. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) before and after the Closing, all records of London relating to the negotiation and consummation by London of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Shareholder Agreement and all records of London prepared in connection with the potential divestiture or conveyance of all or part of the Business, including confidential communications with financial and other advisors and legal counsel representing London or its Affiliates (including the Companies) shall be owned and retained by London and its Affiliates after the Closing; (b) before and after the Closing, all rights and privileges of London and its Affiliates and the Companies relating to the negotiation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Shareholder Agreement, including the right to assert or waive the attorney-client privilege, shall be retained and owned by London and its Affiliates after the Closing; (c) London shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, including the attorney-client privilege, in connection with privileged information in London’s records that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Excluded Liabilities (including the matters set forth on Section 6.1(e) of the London Disclosure Letter), now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by London, whether or not the privileged information is in the possession of or under the control of London (or its Affiliates) or New York (or its Affiliates, including the Companies); and (d) in no event shall any New York Party or the Companies have any right to assert or waive any of the London rights and privileges set forth in clause (b) and (c) related to London documents and, from and after the Closing, the New York Parties shall cause the Companies not to assert or waive such rights and privileges; it being acknowledged that nothing in this Section 6.6 grants London any right with respect to records, rights or privileges belonging to New York or its Affiliates, including any right to assert or waive the attorney-client privilege.
