Exhibit 2.1

delivery of any other documents the Exchange Agent may reasonably require), or (C) upon the transfer of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) that are Shares (including Company Shares held through DTC, in which case such transfer is recognized by the delivery of an “agent’s message,” in accordance with DTC’s customary procedures and such other procedures as agreed by Parent, the Exchange Agent and DTC), the registered holder of such Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent and the Surviving Company shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver in exchange thereof as promptly as practicable, (1) the Per Share Merger Consideration by way of issue of the number of Certificates of shares of Parent Preferred Stock or Book Entry Parent Stock representing, in the aggregate, the whole number of shares that such holder has a right to receive pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) and (2) any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.3(d), if applicable.

(ii)In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that are not registered in the register of shareholders of the Company, the Exchange Agent may make payment of the proper amount of Merger Consideration to such transferee if (A) in the case of Shares, written instructions authorizing the transfer of the Shares are presented to the Exchange Agent, (B) in the case of Certificates (if any), the Certificates (if any) formerly representing such Shares are surrendered to the Exchange Agent, and (C) the written instructions, in the case of clause (A), and Certificates (if any), in the case of clause (B), are accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable share transfer Taxes have been paid or are not applicable, in each case, in form and substance, reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Exchange Agent. If any shares of Parent Preferred Stock are to be delivered to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Ordinary Shares are registered, it shall be a condition of such exchange that the Person requesting such delivery shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the transfer of shares of Parent Preferred Stock to a Person other than the registered holder of any Shares, or shall establish to the satisfaction of Parent and the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(iii)No interest shall be paid or accrue on any cash payable upon conversion (as applicable) or surrender of any Shares. Any Certificate (if any) that has been surrendered shall be cancelled by the Exchange Agent.

(d)Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. All shares of Parent Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time and, whenever a dividend or other distribution is declared by Parent in respect of shares of Parent Preferred Stock, the record date for which is at or after the Effective Time, that declaration shall include dividends or other distributions in respect of all Merger Consideration issuable pursuant to this Agreement. No dividends or other distributions in respect of the shares of Parent Preferred Stock shall be paid to any holder of any unsurrendered Certificate until such Certificate or uncertificated Share is transferred for exchange in accordance with this Article II. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (if any) (or affidavits of lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.3(h)) or transfer of such Share that has been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, there shall be issued and/or paid to the holder of the certificates representing shares of Parent Preferred Stock (or as applicable, Book Entry Parent Stock) issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender or transfer, the dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Preferred Stock and not paid and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such whole shares of Parent Preferred Stock with a record date after the Effective Time but with a payment date subsequent to surrender or transfer, as applicable.

(e)Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no share transfers in relation to the Company of Shares that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Share is presented to the Surviving Company, Parent or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the aggregate Merger Consideration (and to the extent applicable, any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3(d)) to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Article II.

(f)[intentionally left blank]

(g)Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund and any shares of Parent Preferred Stock) that remains unclaimed by the shareholders of the Company for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has theretofore not complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent for delivery of any Merger Consideration, payable and/or issuable pursuant to Section 2.2 upon due surrender of, if

Exhibit 2.1

applicable, their Certificates (if any) (or affidavits of lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.3(h)) or transfer of Shares, in each case, without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Company, Parent, the Exchange Agent or any other Person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, bona vacantia, escheat or similar Laws. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Shares immediately prior to the time at which the Exchange Fund would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Entity, shall, to the extent permitted by Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person (including their successors, assigns or personal representatives) previously entitled thereto.

(h)Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. Where applicable, in the event any Certificate (if any) shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Exchange Agent or any of Parent’s Subsidiaries with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Consideration, and (to the extent applicable) any unpaid dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 2.3(d), that would have been payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if, from the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, the issued and outstanding Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class by reason of any reclassification, share split (including a share consolidation), recapitalization, split-up, combination, subdivision, exchange of shares, readjustment, or other similar transaction, or a share capitalization thereon shall be declared with a record date within said period, the Merger Consideration and any other similarly dependent items, as the case may be, shall be equitably adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 2.5 shall be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any of the foregoing actions with respect to its securities to the extent otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 6.Treatment of Company Equity Awards

.

(a)Company Share Options. Conditional on completion of the Merger:

(i)Each Company Share Option shall be cancelled and converted as of immediately prior to the Effective Time into the right to receive in respect of each Net Option Share, if any, subject to such Company Share Option, the Merger Consideration that would be received for one Ordinary Share. For purposes of this Agreement, “Net Option Share” means, with respect to a Company Share Option, the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying (A) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration Value over the exercise price per Company Share subject to such Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the number of Company Shares subject to such Company Share Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Merger Consideration Value. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “Merger Consideration Value” means the product of (x) the Common Exchange Ratio and (y) the EBIX Closing Price. For clarity, each Company Share Option that has an exercise price per Company Share subject to such Company Share Option that is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration Value shall terminate and be cancelled as of the Effective Time for no consideration. “EBIX Closing Price” means $59.

(b)Company RSUs. Conditional on completion of the Merger:

(i)Each Company RSU shall be cancelled and converted as of immediately prior to the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration due an Ordinary Share.

Exhibit 2.1

(c)Company Warrants. Each warrant to purchase Ordinary Shares that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Warrant”) shall, by virtue of the Merger and without further action on the part of the holder thereof, be assumed by Parent and become, as of the Effective Time, an option (an “Assumed Warrant”) to purchase, on the same terms and conditions (including applicable vesting, exercise and expiration provisions) as applied to each such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, shares of Parent Preferred Stock, except that (A) the number of shares of Parent Preferred Stock, subject to such Assumed Warrant shall equal the product of (x) the number of Ordinary Shares that were subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, and (B) the per-share exercise price shall equal the quotient of (1) the exercise price per Ordinary Share at which such Company Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (2) the Exchange Ratio.

(d)Board Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Board of Directors of the Company (and/or the Compensation Committee, or other applicable committee, of the Board of Directors of the Company) and the Board of Directors of Parent (and/or the Compensation Committee, or other applicable committee, of the Board of Directors of Parent) shall adopt such resolutions and enter into such agreements as are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.6.

any matter that remains unresolved as of the date of this Agreement, and (vii) any other documents, forms or other instruments relating to any Company Benefit Plan reasonably requested by Parent. “Company Benefit Plans” means each employee benefit plan, scheme, program, policy, arrangement and contract (including any “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, and any bonus, deferred compensation, share bonus, share purchase, restricted share, share option or other equity-based arrangement, and any employment, termination, retention, bonus, change in control or severance agreement, plan, program, policy, arrangement or contract) under which any current or former director, officer, shareholder, independent contractor, consultant or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any present or future right to benefits, that is maintained, sponsored or contributed to by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation to maintain, sponsor or contribute, or with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would incur any direct or indirect liability (including by reason of being an ERISA Affiliate with any Person).

(b)Each Company Benefit Plan has been administered and operated in accordance with its terms and with applicable Law, in all material respects. There have been no prohibited transactions or breaches of any of the duties imposed on “fiduciaries” (within the meaning of Section 3(21) of ERISA) by ERISA with respect to the Company Benefit Plans that could result in any material liability or excise Tax under ERISA or the Code being imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Each Company Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or approval letter from the IRS with respect to such qualification, or may rely on an opinion letter issued by the IRS with respect to a prototype plan adopted in accordance with the requirements for such reliance, or has time remaining for application to the IRS for a determination of the qualified status of such Company Benefit Plan for any period for which such Company Benefit Plan would not otherwise be covered by an IRS determination and, to the Knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected to cause the loss of such qualification.

(c)No liability under Title IV, Section 412 or 436 of the Code or Section 302 or 303 of ERISA has been incurred by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate that has not been satisfied in full, and no condition exists that presents a risk to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any such liability (exclusive of the liability to pay insurance premiums to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation under Title IV of ERISA), in each instance. No “reportable event” within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA (excluding any such event for which the 30-day notice requirement has been waived under the regulations to Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred in the preceding six (6) years with respect to any Company Benefit Plan or will be required to be filed in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No Company Benefit Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at-risk” status (within the meaning of Section 303(i)(4)(A) of ERISA or Section 430(i)(4)(A) of the Code). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has provided, or is required to provide, security to any “employee pension benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (each, a “Pension Plan”) or to any single-employer plan of an ERISA Affiliate pursuant to Section 436 of the Code. Under each Pension Plan which is a single-employer plan, there has been no material change in the financial condition, whether or not as a result of a change in funding method, of such Pension Plan since the valuation date used for the most recent actuarial valuation report delivered or made available to Parent prior to the date hereof. As used in this Agreement, “ERISA Affiliate” means any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) under common control with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries within the meaning of Section 4001(b)(1) of ERISA or which together with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is treated as a single employer under Section 414(t) of the Code.

(d)There are no pending, or to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened Proceedings with respect to any of the Company Benefit Plans by any employee or otherwise involving any such plan or the assets of any such plan (other than routine claims for benefits).

(e)No Company Benefit Plan is (i) a plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, Section 412 or 436 of the Code or Section 302 or 303 of ERISA, (ii) a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA or Section 414(f) of the Code, a “multiple employer welfare benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA or is a “multiple employer plan” within the meaning of Sections 4063 or 4064 of ERISA or Section 413(c) of the Code. None of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has at any time during the last six (6) years contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any such type of plan.

(f)Except as set forth on Section 3.13(f) of the Company Disclosure Letter, and except as provided in this Agreement or as required by applicable Law, the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) entitle any current or former director, officer or employee of the Company or of any

Exhibit 2.1

of its Subsidiaries to severance pay or any similar payment under any Company Benefit Plan, or (ii) result in any payment becoming due, accelerate the time of payment or vesting, or increase the amount of compensation due to any such director, officer or employee under any Company Benefit Plan.

(g)With respect to each group health plan benefiting any current or former employee of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate that is subject to Section 4980B of the Code, the Company and all ERISA Affiliates have complied with the continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code and Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA.

(h)Neither the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company nor, to the Knowledge of the Company, any other Person, has engaged in any transaction with respect to any Company Benefit Plan that would be reasonably likely to subject the Company, any of the Subsidiary of the Company, or the Parent to any material Tax or penalty (civil or otherwise) imposed by ERISA, the Code or other applicable Laws, including Section 4980H of the Code.

(i)Each Company Benefit Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) has been operated in all material respects in compliance with Section 409A of the Code, Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, and any subsequent guidance relating thereto, and no additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code has been or to the Company’s Knowledge is reasonably expected to be incurred by a participant in any such Company Benefit Plan.

(j)Each Company Benefit Plan that is also a “group health plan” for purposes of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (Pub. L. No. 111-148) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Pub. L. No. 111-152) (collectively, the “Affordable Care Act”) is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable terms of the Affordable Care Act. The Company, its Subsidiaries and any ERISA Affiliate offer minimum essential health coverage, satisfying affordability and minimum value requirements, to their full-time employees sufficient to prevent liability for assessable payments under Section 4980H of the Code.

(k)All (i) insurance premiums required to be paid with respect to, (ii) benefits, expenses and other amounts due and payable under, and (iii) contributions, transfers or payments required to be made to, any Company Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time will have been paid, made or accrued on or before the Effective Time, in accordance with applicable Law.

(l)No Company Benefit Plan or any other written or oral arrangement promises or provides death, medical or other welfare benefits beyond termination of service or retirement other than coverage mandated by Law.

(m)Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have agreed or committed to institute any plan, program, arrangement or agreement for the benefit of employees or former employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than the Company Benefit Plans, or to make any amendments to any of the Company Benefit Plans.

(n)The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have reserved all rights necessary to amend or terminate each of the Company Benefit Plans without the consent of any other Person.

(o)Except as set forth on Section 3.13(o) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, Company Shareholder Approval or other approval of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement could, either alone or in combination with another event, result in the payment of any amount that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

(p)Except as set forth in Section 3.13(p) of the Company Disclosure Letter, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has any obligation to provide, and no Company Benefit Plan or other agreement provides any individual with the right to, a gross-up, indemnification, reimbursement, make-whole or other payment for any excise or additional Taxes, interest or penalties incurred pursuant to Section 409A or Section 4999 of the Code or due to the failure of any payment to be deductible under of Section 280G of the Code.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if, on or before the date on which the Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled or upon the opening of the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company reasonably believes that, (1) there are insufficient Company Shares necessary to conduct business at the Extraordinary General Meeting or there is not a quorum present, or (2) the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Company Shares to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company may open and immediately adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date (in accordance with the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association) to the extent (and only to the extent) the Company determines in good faith that such adjournment is reasonably necessary in order to conduct business at the Extraordinary General Meeting or obtain proxies representing a sufficient number of Company Shares to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval, as applicable; provided that in no event shall the Company adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting pursuant to this Section 6.2(a) for more than 15 days later than the most recently adjourned meeting or to a date more than thirty (30) days after the original date of the Extraordinary General Meeting or, without consent of Parent, to a date that is on or after the Outside Date, (b) the Company may open and immediately adjourn (in accordance with the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association) the Extraordinary General Meeting to the extent (and only to the extent) the Company determines in good faith that such adjournment is required by applicable Law, including to comply with comments made by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Form S-4, and that such adjournment would not breach the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association or the Companies Law (c) the Company may open and immediately adjourn (in accordance with the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association) the Extraordinary General Meeting to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus required under applicable Law is timely provided to the shareholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time, in the good faith judgment of the Company (after consultation with its outside legal counsel), in advance of the Extraordinary General Meeting, and/or (d) the Company may open and immediately adjourn (in accordance with the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association) the Extraordinary General Meeting to the extent (and only to the extent) that Parent provides its prior written consent or Parent requests such an extension. Subject to Section 6.3, the Company shall solicit from shareholders of the Company proxies in favor of the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the Companies Law and shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the Company Shareholder Approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company shall keep Parent promptly informed regarding its solicitation efforts and proxy tallies following the mailing of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including by allowing Parent and its Representatives to participate in meetings and discussions with the Company and its proxy solicitor and by directing such proxy solicitor to provide regular reports to Parent.

(b)Notwithstanding any Change of Board Recommendation pursuant to Section 6.3, unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms, this Agreement shall be submitted to the shareholders of the Company at the Extraordinary General Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to relieve the Company of such obligation. Once the Company has established a record date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company will not change such record date or establish a different record date without the prior written consent of Parent. Without the prior written consent of Parent,

Exhibit 2.1

the adoption of this Agreement will be the only matter (other than related procedural matters) that the Company will propose to be acted on by the shareholders of the Company at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Exhibit 2.1

promptly return or destroy all confidential information furnished prior to the execution of this Agreement to or for the benefit of such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c)As promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours) following the receipt by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives of (i) an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) any request for information or to engage in negotiations or discussions that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide Parent notice of (A) the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, (B) the identity of the third party making, and the material terms and conditions of, such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (including the status of any financing arrangements to the extent provided to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Representative of the Company) and (C) a copy of all material agreements proposed provided by such third party in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry.

The Company shall not be entitled to effect a Change of Board Recommendation with respect to a Superior Proposal or Intervening Event or terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1(d)(ii) pursuant to this Section 6.3(d) unless (A) the Company shall have provided to Parent at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice (the “Notice Period”) of the Company’s intention to take such action, which notice shall state expressly (1) that the Company has received a Superior Proposal or an Intervening Event has occurred, (2) in the case of a Superior Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including the status of any financing arrangements to the extent provided to the Company and/or any of its Representatives) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Proposal, or, in the case of an Intervening Event, the material facts and circumstances (based on information reasonably available) related to such Intervening Event, and (3) that it intends to effect a Change of Board Recommendation or terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1(d)(ii) and (B)

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.3(d) to the contrary, the Board of Directors of the Company may not effect a Change of Board Recommendation or terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.1(d)(ii) until the expiration of the Notice Period and unless and until the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith, after considering the Proposed Changed Terms (if any are proposed by Parent) and consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would still be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law. In the event of any material revisions or modifications to the terms of such Superior Proposal, the Company shall be required to promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) deliver a new written notice to Parent and to again comply with the requirements of this Section 6.3(d) with respect to such new written notice, except that the Notice Period shall be three (3) Business Days with respect to any such revised Superior Proposal, but no such new written notice shall shorten the original Notice Period.

If the Company or Parent receives a formal or informal request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity under any Antitrust Laws with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby, then it shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as promptly as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. In addition, to the extent practicable, none of the parties shall agree to participate in any substantive meeting or conference (telephone, in-person or otherwise) with any Governmental Entity, or any member of the staff of any Governmental Entity, in respect of any Filing, Proceeding, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation), litigation, or other inquiry under any Antitrust Laws unless it consults with the other party in advance and, where permitted by such Governmental Entity, allows the other party to participate. To the extent reasonably practicable, legal counsel for Parent and for the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and will consult with the other party on and consider in good faith the views of the other party in connection with, all of the information relating to Parent or the Company, as the case may be, and any of their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives, that appears in any written materials submitted to, any third party or Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of Parent and the Company shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Information disclosed pursuant to this Section 6.5 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 6.5(d) hereof. Neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to comply with any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.5(b) to the extent that such compliance would be prohibited by applicable Law. The parties shall not voluntarily extend any waiting period associated with any Consent of any Governmental Entity or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, except with the prior written consent of the other parties (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Exhibit 2.1

assets, if doing so would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any Consent, action or nonaction, waiver, clearance or exemption of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period; (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an Order preventing, restraining, impeding, delaying, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such Order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.Employee Matters

.

(a)Until the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), the Surviving Company shall provide, or cause to be provided, for those employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who continue as employees of the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries during all or a portion of the Benefits Continuation Period (the “Continuing Employees”), compensation (including base salary, bonus and other incentive compensation opportunities, but excluding any equity-based compensation) with respect to each Continuing Employee that are at least as favorable to the Continuing Employee as the compensation provided by the Company or the applicable Subsidiary to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and employee health and welfare and retirement benefits that, in the aggregate, are substantially similar to the compensation and employee benefits that are provided by Parent to its similarly situated employees immediately prior to the Effective Time. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a guarantee of employment for any current or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or other than as provided in any applicable employment agreement or other Contract, to restrict the right of Parent or the Surviving Company to terminate the employment of any such employee.

(b)The Surviving Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the consent of any applicable insurer, to (i) waive, or cause to be waived, any applicable pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements in any replacement or successor welfare benefit plan of the Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates in which a Continuing Employee is eligible to participate following the Effective Time to the extent such exclusions or waiting periods were inapplicable to, or had been satisfied by, such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time under the analogous Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated, (ii) provide, or cause to be provided, each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time (to the same extent such credit was given under the analogous Company Benefit Plan prior to the Effective Time) in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements, and (iii) recognize, or cause to be recognized, service prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate and, vesting, but not for purposes of the determination of level of benefits and benefits accrual to the same extent such service was recognized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the analogous Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent it would result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service; and, provided further, that the Surviving Company shall not be obligated to provide credit for years of service for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan maintained by the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the date on which the Continuing Employee actually becomes a participant in such plan.

Exhibit 2.1

(c)From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall honor, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with its terms, (i) each employment, change in control, severance and termination protection plan, policy or agreement of or between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any current or former officer, director or employee, including those identified in Section 6.6(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter, (ii) all obligations in effect as of the Effective Time under any equity-based or bonus plans, programs or agreements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and (iii) all obligations in effect as of the Effective Time pursuant to outstanding retention plans, programs or agreements, and all vested and accrued benefits under any employee benefit, employment compensation or similar plans, programs, agreements or arrangements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge that the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will constitute a change in control of the Company under the terms of the Company’s employee plans, programs, arrangements and contracts containing provisions triggering payment, vesting or other rights upon a change in control or similar transaction.

(d)Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and each of its Subsidiaries, for a period commencing at the Effective Time and ending ninety (90) days thereafter, not to effectuate a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” as those terms are defined in WARN affecting in whole or in part any site of employment, facility, or operating unit of the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and shall cause the Surviving Company and each of its Subsidiaries not to take any such action after such ninety (90) day period without complying with all provisions of WARN.

(e)Nothing contained in this Agreement, whether express or implied, (i) shall be treated as an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or any other plan or arrangement of the Company, its subsidiaries or the Buyer, (ii) shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person, or (iii) subject to the requirements of this Section 6.6(e), shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan following the Closing Date.

Section 7.Expenses

Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such expense, except (a) that expenses incurred in connection with (i) the filing fee for the Form S-4 and printing and mailing the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the Form S-4 shall be shared equally by Parent and the Company and (ii) all statutory filing fees under the applicable Antitrust Laws shall be paid by Parent and (b) as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 8.Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance

.

(a)From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, jointly and severally, to the fullest extent permitted by Law (including to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by any amendments to or replacements of applicable Law adopted after the date of this Agreement that increase the extent to which indemnification may be provided), indemnify, defend and hold harmless (and promptly advance expenses from time to time as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by Law; provided the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides a reasonable and customary undertaking (which shall not include posting of any collateral) to repay such advances, if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification) each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Effective Time or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Person acting as director, officer, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent of another Person (including any Company Benefit Plan) who is or has acted as such at the request of the Company (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement or incurred in connection with any actual or threatened claim (including a claim of violation of applicable Law), action, audit, demand, suit, other Proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative, regulatory or investigative or other Proceeding at law or in equity or order or ruling, by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries or is or was a director, officer, trustee, fiduciary, employee or agent of another Person at the request of the Company, including the approval of this Agreement and the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby or arising out of or pertaining to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, whether asserted or claimed prior

Exhibit 2.1

to, at or after the Effective Time. Parent and the Surviving Company shall cooperate with any Indemnified Party in the defense of any matter covered by this Section 6.8. Without limitation of the foregoing or any other provision of this Section 6.8, Parent and the Company agree that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liability for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and the rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party, whether provided in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or in any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall survive the Merger, be honored by the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries and continue in full force and effect, and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(b)Subject to the following sentence, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, at no expense to the beneficiaries, either (i) continue to maintain in full force and effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time, if available, the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Current Insurance”) with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby); provided that the Surviving Company may substitute for the Current Insurance policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not less favorable in the aggregate with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby); or (ii) purchase a six (6) year extended reporting period endorsement with respect to the Current Insurance (a “Reporting Tail Endorsement”) and maintain such Reporting Tail Endorsement in full force and effect for its full term. To the extent purchased after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time, such insurance policies shall be placed through such broker(s) and with such insurance carriers as may be specified by Parent and as are reasonably acceptable to the Company; provided that such insurance carrier has at least an “A” rating by A.M. Best with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6.8(b), but subject to the second sentence of this Section 6.8(b), the Company shall be permitted at its sole and exclusive option to purchase a Reporting Tail Endorsement prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Parent or the Surviving Company be required to expend for such policies an annual premium amount in excess of 300% of the annual premiums currently paid by the Company for such insurance; and, if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, the Surviving Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding such amount; provided that in the event of the Current Insurance, Parent or the Surviving Company shall be required to obtain as much coverage as is possible under substantially similar policies for such maximum annual amount in aggregate annual premiums.

(c)The New Articles of the Surviving Company shall include provisions for indemnification, advancement and reimbursement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnified Parties that are, in substance, no less favorable to the Indemnified Parties than the provisions for indemnification, advancement and reimbursement of expenses and exculpation of the Indemnified Parties as set forth in the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association in effect on the date of this Agreement. Following the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain in effect the provisions in its Memorandum and Articles of Association providing for indemnification, advancement and reimbursement of expenses and exculpation of Indemnified Parties, as applicable, with respect to the facts or circumstances occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted from time to time under applicable Law, which provisions shall not be amended except as required by applicable Law or except to make changes permitted by applicable Law that would enlarge the scope of the Indemnified Parties’ indemnification and advancement rights thereunder.

(d)If Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent shall cause proper provisions to be made prior to the consummation of any transaction of the type described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this sentence so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8.

(e)From and after the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Company shall not, directly or indirectly, amend, modify, limit or terminate the advancement and reimbursement of expenses, exculpation, indemnification provisions of the agreements listed in Section 6.8(e) of the Company Disclosure Letter between the Company or any Subsidiary and any of the Indemnified Parties, or any such provisions contained in the Surviving Company bylaws.

Exhibit 2.1

(f)This Section 6.8 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third-party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Company. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company under this Section 6.8 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party unless the affected Indemnified Party shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. It is expressly agreed that each Indemnified Party shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.8, and entitled to enforce the covenants contained in this Section 6.8. If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 6.8 that is denied by Parent and/or the Surviving Company, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement, then Parent or the Surviving Company shall pay such Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred in connection with pursuing such claim against Parent and/or the Surviving Company. The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.8 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) of any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or under any applicable Contracts, insurance policies or Laws and Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company and each of its Subsidiaries to, honor and perform under all indemnification agreements entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(g)Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its respective Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.8 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

Prior to the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall control the defense of any Transaction Litigation brought against it or any of its Affiliates or members of its Board; provided, however, that the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense (at Parent’s sole cost and subject to a joint defense agreement) of any Transaction Litigation. No settlement of any Transaction Litigation shall be agreed to by the Company without Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without otherwise limiting or expanding the Indemnified Parties’

(b)by either Parent or the Company, if:

(i)the Merger shall not have been consummated by 11:59 p.m. (Eastern Time) on April 12, 2020 (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any party if its action or failure to act constitutes a breach or violation of any of its obligations hereunder, and such breach has been the principal cause of or directly resulted in (A) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the obligations of the terminating party to consummate the Merger set forth in Article VII prior to the Outside Date or (B) the failure of the Closing to occur by the Outside Date;

(ii)any Governmental Entity of competent jurisdiction shall have issued an Order or taken any other action permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger and such Order or other action shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, however, that a party shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(b)(ii) if the failure of such party to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement resulted in the issuance of such Order; or

(c)by Parent:

(i)if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would result in a failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) to be satisfied

Exhibit 2.1

and (B) either (1) is incapable of being cured by the Company by the Outside Date or (2) if capable of being cured, has not been cured by the Company within 30 days following written notice to the Company from Parent or Merger Sub of such breach, which notice states Parent’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i); provided that Parent shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c)(i) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder; or

(d)by the Company:

(i)if Parent or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would result in a failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) to be satisfied and (B) either (1) is incapable of being cured by Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, by the Outside Date or (2) if capable of being cured, has not been cured by Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, within 30 days following written notice to Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, from the Company of such breach, which notice states the Company’s intention to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d); provided that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder; or

. In the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, the obligations of the parties shall terminate and there shall be no liability on the part of any party with respect thereto, except for the confidentiality provisions of Section 6.4 (Access to Information) and the provisions of Section 3.26 (No Other Representations and Warranties; Disclaimers), Section 4.17 (No Other Representations and Warranties; Disclaimers), Section 6.7 (Expenses), this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 (Termination Fees) and Article IX (General Provisions), each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that, subject to Section 8.3(a)(iii), nothing contained herein shall relieve any party from liability for damages arising out of any fraud occurring prior to such termination, in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to affect their right to specific performance under Section 9.9 prior to the valid termination of this Agreement. In addition, the parties agree that the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 in accordance with its terms.

Section 3.Termination Fees

.

(a)Termination Fee.

(i)In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(c)(ii) or by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) following a Change of Board Recommendation or by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(d)(ii), then the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent (or its designees) a nonrefundable amount in cash equal to $8,160,000 (the “Termination Fee”), less any Parent Expense Reimbursement paid by the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent, payable no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination.

(ii)In the event that this Agreement is terminated:

(A)(1) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) and an Acquisition Proposal was publicly proposed or announced or otherwise communicated to the Board of Directors or shareholders of the Company by any Person after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn prior to such termination; or (2) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section

Exhibit 2.1

8.1(b)(iii) and an Acquisition Proposal was publicly proposed or announced or otherwise communicated to the Board of Directors or shareholders of the Company by any Person after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn prior to such termination; and

(B)in any such event, within twelve (12) months after such termination of this Agreement either (1) an Acquisition Proposal shall have been consummated or (2) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal that is subsequently consummated, then, within two (2) Business Days following the earlier of such consummation, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent (or its designees) the Termination Fee by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. For purposes of this Section 8.3(a)(ii), each reference to “20%” in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%.”

(iii)The parties agree and understand that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (A) if Parent is entitled to receive payment of the Termination Fee from the Company pursuant to this Section 8.3, except in the case of fraud, such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; (B) if Parent or Merger Sub receives any payments from the Company in respect of any breach of this Agreement, and thereafter Parent is entitled to receive the Termination Fee under this Section 8.3, the amount of such Termination Fee shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of any payments made by the Company to Parent or Merger Sub in respect of any such breaches of this Agreement; and (C) in no event shall the Company’s liability for monetary damages to Parent or Merger Sub in respect of any breach (except in the case of fraud) by the Company of Section 6.3 exceed the Termination Fee (inclusive of any amounts paid of the Termination Fee).

(b)Expense Reimbursement. In the event the Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) and the Termination Fee is not then payable, the Company shall pay to Parent all appropriate, documented internal and external expenses incurred or paid by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent, within five (5) Business Days of the later of (i) the date of such termination and (ii) the date that Parent shall have provided to the Company true and complete copies of documentation evidencing such expenses; provided, that the aggregate amount payable shall not exceed $4,000,000 (the “Parent Expense Reimbursement”). If Parent receives the Parent Expense Reimbursement and later becomes eligible to receive the Termination Fee, Parent will then only be entitled to receive the amount of the Termination Fee minus the amount of the Parent Expense Reimbursement actually received.

(c)The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not enter into this Agreement, and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 8.3 do not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay the amount due pursuant to this Section 8.3, and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit, action or other Proceeding that results in a judgment in its favor, the Company shall pay to the Parent its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, action or other Proceeding, together with interest on the amount of such payment from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the prime interest rate published in The Wall Street Journal on the date such interest begins accruing.

Section 4.Procedure for Termination

. Termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time shall not require the approval of the shareholders of the Company. A terminating party shall provide written notice of termination to the other parties specifying the Section or Sections pursuant to which such party is terminating the Agreement. If more than one provision in Section 8.1 is available to a terminating party in connection with a termination, a terminating party may rely on any or all available provisions in Section 8.1 for any termination.

Section 3.Interpretation; Construction

.

(a)When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, clause, Annex, Exhibit or Section of a disclosure letter, such reference shall be to a Section or clause of or Annex or Exhibit or Section of a disclosure letter to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The phrase “the date of this Agreement” and terms of similar import, shall be deemed to refer to the date first written above. Whenever the content of this Agreement permits, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders, and a reference to singular or plural shall be interchangeable with the other.

(b)References to any agreement or contract are to that agreement or contract as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. References to any Person include

Exhibit 2.1

the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. References to any statute are to that statute, as amended from time to time, and to the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. References to “$” and “dollars” are to the currency of the United States. References from or through any date mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. The words “hereby,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any disclosure letters delivered herewith) and not merely to the specific Section, paragraph or clause in which such word appears. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

(c)The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(d)No summary of this Agreement or any Exhibit attached hereto or Section of a disclosure letter delivered herewith prepared by or on behalf of any party shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any such Exhibit or Section of a disclosure letter.

(e)Subject to the introductory language to Article III and Article IV, each party to this Agreement has or may have set forth information in its respective disclosure letter in a Section of such disclosure letter that corresponds to the Section of this Agreement to which it relates. The fact that any item of information is disclosed in a disclosure letter to this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by such party that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item would have a Company Material Adverse Effect or Parent Material Adverse Effect, as the case may be, or that the disclosure thereof be construed to mean that such information is required to be disclosed by this Agreement.

Section 4.Counterparts; Effectiveness

. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, (including by facsimile or by attachment to electronic mail in portable document format (PDF)), each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or .pdf signature and a facsimile or .pdf signature shall constitute an original for all purposes.

Section 5.Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries

.

(a)This Agreement, the Company Disclosure Letter, the Parent Disclosure Letter, the Exhibits attached hereto and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Each party hereto agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither Parent and Merger Sub nor the Company makes any other representations or warranties, and each hereby disclaims any other representations or warranties, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any other information made by, or made available by, itself or any of its Representatives, with respect to, or in connection with, the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, notwithstanding the delivery or disclosure to the other or the other’s Representatives of any documentation or other information with respect to any one or more of the foregoing.

(b)The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto, except for: (i) only following the Effective Time, the right of the shareholders of the Company and holders of Company Equity Awards, as applicable, to receive (x) the Merger Consideration in respect of Shares pursuant to Section 2.2 and (y) the consideration payable in respect of Company Equity Awards, warrants and other rights to purchase pursuant to Section 2.6, (ii) the right of the Company on behalf of its shareholders to seek equitable relief or to pursue damages suffered by the Company and its shareholders in the event of the wrongful termination of this Agreement or fraud by Parent or Merger Sub (whether or not this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 8.1), which right is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by Parent and Merger Sub and (iii) the right of the Indemnified Parties to enforce the provisions of Section 6.8 only. The third-party beneficiary rights referenced in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence may be exercised only by the through actions expressly approved by the Board of Directors

Exhibit 2.1

of the Company, and no shareholder of the Company, whether purporting to act in its capacity as a shareholder or purporting to assert any right (derivatively or otherwise) on behalf of the Company, shall have any right or ability to exercise or cause the exercise of any such right.

(c)No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to any Person after the Closing, and Merger Sub may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to any other wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, which Subsidiary shall be a Cayman Islands exempted company; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not (i) relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Sub or (ii) materially delay the consummation of the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 6.Severability

. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision negotiated in good faith by the parties shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not, subject to clause (a) above, be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, except as a result of such substitution, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.Modification or Amendment

. This Agreement may be amended by the parties (with respect to the Company and Merger Sub, by action taken by their respective Boards of Directors), at any time before or after adoption of this Agreement by the shareholders of the Company, but, after any such adoption, no amendment shall be made which by Law would require the further approval by such shareholders without first obtaining such approval. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement may be modified or amended solely by written agreement executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of the respective parties.

Section 8.Extension; Waiver

. The conditions to each of the parties’ obligations to consummate the Merger are for the sole benefit of such party and may be waived by such party in whole or in part to the extent permitted by applicable Laws. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may (in the case of the Company, by action taken or authorized by its Board of Directors or authorized officers of the Company), to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.

Section 9.Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial; Specific Performance

.

(a)Subject to Section 9.11, this Agreement, and any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, shall be deemed to be made in and in all respects shall be interpreted, construed and governed by and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules thereof.

(b)EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY DISPUTE WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR

Exhibit 2.1

INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 9.9.

(c)The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it at law and in equity, including monetary damages, except as limited by Section 8.3) (i) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach and (ii) an Order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation without proof of actual damages, and each party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond or other security in connection with such remedy. Each party hereto agrees not to raise any objections (including any defense or counterclaim that there is an adequate remedy at law) to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party under this Agreement all in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.9. Each party further agrees that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 9.9, a party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to such party at law or in equity in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby, (ii) nothing set forth in this Section 9.9 shall require any party to institute any Proceeding (or limit any party’s right to institute any Proceeding) for specific performance under this Section 9.9 prior or as a condition to exercising any termination right under Section 8.1, nor shall the commencement of any Proceeding pursuant to this Section 9.9 or anything set forth in this Section 9.9 restrict or limit any party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1 or pursue any other remedies (including monetary damages) in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and/or thereby that may be available then or thereafter, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and (iii) that the prevailing party in any such Proceeding shall be entitled to reimbursement of all costs and expenses associated with seeking such relief, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. In the event that a party institutes a Proceeding seeking equitable relief under this Section 9.9 the Outside Date shall automatically be extended until such Proceeding is finally resolved.

(d)Notwithstanding Section 9.9(c), each of the parties (i) irrevocably submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of each state or federal court sitting in the State of Delaware, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, in any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby (including any Proceeding seeking equitable relief pursuant to Section 9.9(c)); (ii) agrees that every such Proceeding shall be brought, heard and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware); (iii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from such court; (iv) agrees not to bring any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby in any other court; and (v) waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Proceeding so brought. Each party irrevocably consents to the service of process outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 9.9(d) in any such Proceeding by mailing copies thereof by registered or certified United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to its address as specified in or pursuant to this Article IX; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit the right of a party to effect service of process on the other party by any other legally available method. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company agrees that a final judgment in any Proceeding in such court as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 10.Obligation of Parent and of the Company

. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this

Exhibit 2.1

Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action.

Section 11.Disclosure Letter References and SEC Document References

.

(a)The parties hereto agree that each section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, shall be deemed to qualify the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement to the extent it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure also qualifies or applies to such other sections, irrespective of whether or not any particular section or subsection of this Agreement specifically refers to the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable. The parties hereto further agree that disclosure of any item, matter or event in any particular section or subsection of either the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter or the Parent Disclosure Letter, as applicable, to which the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent, notwithstanding the omission of a cross-reference to such other section or subsections.

(b)The parties hereto agree that no forward-looking disclosure contained in any section of any Company SEC Document or Parent SEC Document entitled “Risk Factors”, “Safe Harbor Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Safe Harbor for Forward-Looking Statements”, “Forward-Looking Statements”, “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”, “Special Note on Forward Looking Statements” or “Forward Looking Information” or containing a description or explanation of “Forward-Looking Statements” or any other disclosures in any Company SEC Document or Parent SEC Document, to the extent cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature, shall be deemed to be an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) any representations and warranties of any party contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that this clause shall not apply to any underlying facts, circumstances or events in any such section.
