1.4 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time (a) the separate existence of the Merger Sub shall cease, the Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, (b) the certificate of incorporation of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit A, and as so amended and restated shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter further amended in accordance with its terms and the DGCL, and (c) the bylaws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated in their entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit B, and as so amended and restated shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter further amended in accordance with their terms, the terms of the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, and the DGCL.

ARTICLE II

TREATMENT OF COMPANY SECURITIES

2.1 Conversion of Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, the Merger Sub, US Holdco, the Parent or the holder of any shares of the capital stock of the Company or capital stock of the Merger Sub:

(a) Capital Stock of the Merger Sub. Each share of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Parent-Owned Stock. All shares of Company Common Stock that are held in the treasury of the Company and any shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, the Parent, US Holdco, the Merger Sub or any other Subsidiary of the Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be paid or delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Merger Consideration for Company Common Stock. Subject to Section 2.2, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive $23.00, without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”). As of the Effective Time and upon the conversion thereof, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 2.1(c) in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2.

(d) Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring (or for which a record date is established) after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 2.1(d) shall be construed to permit any party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision in this Agreement.

2.2 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Paying Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Parent and US Holdco shall enter into an agreement (in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company) with the Paying Agent for the Paying Agent to act as paying agent for the Merger and (ii) US Holdco shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares), for payment through the Paying Agent in accordance with this Section 2.2, the Payment Fund. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in this Section 2.2. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by US Holdco; provided, however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank

which are then publicly available); provided, however, that no gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable hereunder and US Holdco shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Payment Fund includes at all times cash sufficient to satisfy US Holdco’s obligation to pay the Merger Consideration under this Agreement. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments (net of any losses) shall be paid to US Holdco or the Surviving Corporation, as US Holdco directs, pursuant to Section 2.2(e). In the event the Payment Fund is diminished below the level required for the Paying Agent to make prompt cash payments as required under Section 2.2(b), including any such diminishment as a result of investment losses, US Holdco shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, immediately deposit additional cash into the Payment Fund in an amount equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payments.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) after the Effective Time, the Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall (1) be prepared prior to the Closing, (2) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(g)) to the Paying Agent, and (3) otherwise be in such form and have such provisions as the Parent and the Company may reasonably agree), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(g)) in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(g)) to the Paying Agent for cancellation, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and the Surviving Corporation or US Holdco shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable, a cash amount in immediately available funds equal to (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof as provided in Section 2.2(g)) multiplied by (2) the Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of Uncertificated Shares shall not be required to take any action (including delivery of a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal) to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II. The Surviving Corporation or US Holdco shall cause the Paying Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time to each such holder of record as of the Effective Time the Merger Consideration in respect of such Uncertificated Share, and such Uncertificated Share shall forthwith be cancelled.

(iii) Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to establish customary procedures with the

Paying Agent and the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with the objective that the Paying Agent will transmit to DTC or its nominee on the first Business Day after the Closing Date an amount in cash from the Payment Fund in immediately available funds, equal to (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock (other than shares of Company Common Stock cancelled in accordance with Section 2.1(b) and Dissenting Shares) held of record by DTC or such nominee immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the Merger Consideration (such amount, the “DTC Payment”).

(c) Interest; Transfers; Rights Following the Effective Time. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon the surrender of such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Shares is registered, if, in the case of a Certificate, such Certificate is presented to the Paying Agent, and in each case the transferor provides to Paying Agent (i) all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and (ii) evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and all Uncertificated Shares (other than Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing Dissenting Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 2.1(c).

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender of Certificates and cancellation of Uncertificated Shares in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been paid in satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares, and from and after the Effective Time there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to Section 2.2(e).

(e) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates and Uncertificated Shares for one year after the Effective Time (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it) shall be delivered to US Holdco, upon demand, and any holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares who has not previously complied with this Section 2.2 shall be entitled to receive only from US Holdco or the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar laws) payment of its claim for Merger Consideration, without interest.

(f) No Liability. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of the Parent, US Holdco, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount required to be delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(g) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate 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 reasonably required by the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as the Paying Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Payment Fund, US Holdco or the Surviving Corporation) may determine is reasonably necessary, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent (or if subsequent to the termination of the Payment Fund and subject to Section 2.2(e), US Holdco) shall pay, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented thereby pursuant to this Agreement.

2.3 Company Stock Plans.

(a) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share that is then outstanding and unvested shall automatically become fully vested and the restrictions thereon shall lapse, and each such Company Restricted Share shall be canceled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.

(b) Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, each Company Performance Share Award that is then outstanding and unvested shall vest with respect to the target number of shares of Company Common Stock that could be earned thereunder and automatically be canceled and converted into the right to receive from the Surviving Corporation an amount of cash from the Surviving Corporation equal to the sum of (A) the product of (i) the target number of shares of Company Common Stock then underlying such Company Performance Share Award multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, and (B) dividends paid with respect to the target number of shares of Company Common Stock then underlying such Company Performance Share Award from the grant date of such Company Performance Share Award to the Effective Time.

(c) US Holdco shall (i) cause the Surviving Corporation to make the payments contemplated by the foregoing Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(b) as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, and in any event, as to any Person who is a holder of Company Restricted Shares or Company Performance Share Awards, by the later of seven (7) Business Days following each such Person’s compliance with any written instructions provided to such Person by the Company, if any, and seven (7) Business Days after the Effective Time and (ii) cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain at all times from and after the Effective Time sufficient liquid funds to satisfy its obligations pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(b).

(d) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to each Person who is a holder of Company Restricted Shares or Company Performance Share Awards a letter describing the treatment of and payment for such equity awards pursuant to this Section 2.3 and providing instructions for use in obtaining payment therefor.

(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that are necessary (under the Company Stock Plan and award agreements pursuant to which Company Restricted Shares and Company Performance Share Awards are outstanding or otherwise) to (i) effect the measures contemplated by this Section 2.3, including but not limited to the adoption of any plan amendments, obtaining the approval of the Company Board, obtaining any necessary employee consents or providing any necessary employee notices and (ii) cause there to be no rights to acquire Company Common Stock following the Effective Time.

(f) The Company shall take all actions necessary to terminate the Company Stock Plan effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, and to provide that following the Effective Time, no participant in the Company Stock Plan shall have any right under the Company Stock Plan other than the right to receive the payments in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3. US Holdco shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, subject to Section 2.5, pay through its payroll system the amounts due pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and Section 2.3(b).

2.4 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Shares (and at the Effective Time, such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and such holder shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the rights set forth in Section 262 under the DGCL), unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or otherwise lost such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL.

(b) If any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as such (by the holder thereof effectively withdrawing, failing to perfect, or otherwise losing such holder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL with respect to such shares), then, as of the later of the Effective Time or the date of loss of such status, such shares shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.1, without interest, and shall not thereafter be deemed to be Dissenting Shares.

(c) The Company shall give the Parent: (i) prompt notice of any written demand for appraisal received by the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand; and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. The Company shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless the Parent shall have given its written consent to such payment or settlement offer.

2.5 Withholding Rights. Each of the Parent, US Holdco, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of

shares of Company Common Stock or any other recipient of payments hereunder any amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted by the Parent, US Holdco, the Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, to the applicable Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder or other recipient in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

As of the date of this Agreement, (other than any amendments solely to add lenders, arrangers, book-runners, syndication and documentation agents or similar entities who have not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement, assignments of the Parent’s and US Holdco’s rights and obligations under the Debt Commitment Letters to certain wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Parent to the extent permitted thereunder (provided that any such assignment shall not affect the liabilities or obligations of the Parent, US Holdco or the Merger Sub hereunder and the Parent shall cause any such assignee to perform any such obligations to the extent necessary to preserve the original intent of the parties hereunder) and the Parent’s entering into the Re-Pricing Memorandum as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement) none of the Financing Documents has been amended or modified, no such amendment is contemplated, none of the respective obligations and commitments contained in such letters have been withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect, and no such withdrawal, termination or rescission is contemplated. The Parent or its applicable Subsidiary has fully paid any and all commitment fees, underwriting fees or other fees in connection with the Financing Documents that are payable on or prior to the date hereof and will continue to pay in full any such amounts required to be paid pursuant to the terms of the Financing Documents as and when they become due and payable on or prior to the Closing Date.

Corporation to pay the aggregate Parent Payment Obligations and US Holdco Payment Obligations, as applicable.

As of the date of this Agreement, the Parent does not have any reason to believe that it or any of the other parties to the Financing Documents will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any term or condition of the Financing Documents required to be satisfied by it, that the conditions thereof will not otherwise be satisfied or that the full amount of the Financing will not be available on the Closing Date. The only conditions precedent or other contingencies (including market “flex” provisions) related to the obligations of Barclays Bank PLC, HSBC Bank plc and Investec Bank plc to underwrite the full amount of the Equity Financing and the lenders to fund the full amount of the Debt Financing are those expressly set forth in the Underwriting Agreement and the Debt Commitment Letter, respectively.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent”, when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (a) the fair market value of the assets of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, at a fair market valuation, will exceed the debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis on their debts and other liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured, (c) such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted

following the Closing Date and (d) such Person and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, direct, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured.

(a) Go-Shop Period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until midnight, New York time, on January 22, 2018 (i.e., one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on January 22, 2018) (the “Go-Shop Period”), the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives shall have the right to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit or initiate Acquisition Proposals (or inquiries, proposals or offers that may reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal), including by way of providing access to non-public information pursuant an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that the Company shall provide to the Parent any material non-public information of the Company that is provided to any such Person that was not previously made available to the Parent prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the time it is provided to such Person, and (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to Acquisition Proposals (or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating an Acquisition Proposal) and otherwise cooperate with or assist or participate in, or facilitate any such inquiries, proposals, offers, efforts, discussions or negotiations, but without sharing any material non-public information unless the party has executed and delivered to the Company an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement. For purposes of clarity, the Company’s obligations under Section 6.1(b) shall commence with respect to each Person upon the expiration of the Go-Shop Period unless the Company Board or any committee or subcommittee thereof has determined that such Person constitutes a Qualified Person prior to the expiration of the Go-Shop Period. Promptly following the expiration of the Go-Shop Period, the Company shall terminate all access of any Person (other than the Parent and its Representatives and the Qualified Persons and their respective Representatives) to any electronic data room maintained by, or on behalf of, the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and request each Person (other than the Parent and its Representatives and the Qualified Persons and their respective Representatives) that has executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company in connection with such Person’s consideration of making an Acquisition Proposal to promptly return or destroy all non-public information furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company, subject to any record retention provisions set forth in such confidentiality agreements.

(b) No Solicitation or Negotiation. Except as permitted under this Section 6.1 and except with respect to any Qualified Person, immediately following the expiration of the Go-Shop Period, the Company shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and their Representatives to immediately cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to an Acquisition Proposal. Except as permitted under this Section 6.1 and except with respect to any Qualified Person, following the expiration of the Go-Shop Period, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, and the Company shall use reasonable efforts to cause its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) solicit, initiate or knowingly facilitate or encourage any inquiries regarding, or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal;

(ii) other than informing Persons of the existence of the provisions of this Section 6.1, enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal, or furnish to any Person any non-public information of the Company or access to its properties, books, records or personnel for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating, any Acquisition Proposal; or

(iii) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to compliance with Section 6.1(e)(i) and for so long as a Person continues to be a Qualified Person, at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company, may continue to (A) furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to any Qualified Person (and the Representatives of such Qualified Person), pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, provided that the Company shall provide to the Parent any material non-public information of the Company that is provided to any such Person that was not previously made available to the Parent prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the time it is provided to such Person, (B) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations (including solicitation of revised Acquisition Proposals) with any Qualified Person (and the Representatives of such Qualified Person) regarding any Acquisition Proposal, or (C) amend, or grant a waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any Company Common Stock with any Qualified Person for purposes of presenting a proposal to the Company Board for consideration and negotiating thereafter with the Company Board.

(c) Acquisition Proposal After the Go-Shop Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.1, if at any time on or after the expiration of the Go-Shop Period and prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives receives an Acquisition Proposal from any Person or group of Persons (that does not arise out of a material breach of Section 6.1(b) of this Agreement), (i) the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Representatives may contact such Person or group of Persons to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (ii) if the Company Board, or any committee thereof, determines in good faith (1) after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, and (2) after consultation with legal counsel, that the failure to take such actions set forth in clauses (w), (x) or (y) below with respect to such Acquisition Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, then the Company, its Subsidiaries, and their Representatives may (w) furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal (pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), provided that the Company shall provide to the Parent any material non-public information that is provided to any such Person that was not previously made available to the

Parent prior to, or substantially concurrently with, the time it is provided to such Person, (x) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations (including solicitation of revised Acquisition Proposals) with the Person or group of Persons making such Acquisition Proposal and (y) amend, or grant a waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any Company Common Stock with any such Person or group of Persons who has made such Acquisition Proposal for purposes of presenting a proposal to the Company Board for consideration and negotiating thereafter with the Company Board.

(d) No Change in Recommendation.

(i) Except as set forth in this Section 6.1, (x) the Company Board shall not withhold, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to the Parent, the Company Board Recommendation (a “Company Board Recommendation Change”), (y) the Company shall not enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement or similar agreement providing for the consummation of a transaction contemplated by any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in the circumstances referred to in Section 6.1(a), Section 6.1(b) or Section 6.1(c)), and (z) the Company Board shall not adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval:

(1) if the Company has received a Superior Proposal, then the Company Board may (x) effect a Company Board Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal, or (y) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(h) to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, in each case if and only if:

(A) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s financial advisors and legal counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties pursuant to Applicable Law,

(B) such Acquisition Proposal is not the result of a material breach of Section 6.1(b) or 6.1(c),

(C) the Company has notified the Parent in writing that it has received a Superior Proposal and intends to enter into a definitive agreement or effect a Company Board Recommendation Change relating to such Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, including a copy of the most current version of the proposed definitive agreement to be entered with, and the identity of, the Persons or group of Persons making the Acquisition Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) (it being understood that the

Superior Proposal Notice shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change or a Trigger Event for purposes of this Agreement),

(D) if requested by the Parent, the Company shall have engaged in good faith negotiations with the Parent and its Representatives during the four (4) Business Day period immediately following delivery of the Superior Proposal Notice (the “Notice Period”) with respect to the Parent’s proposed adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal (it being understood that any material revision or amendment to the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal (including any revision to the amount, form or mix of consideration) shall be deemed to constitute a new Superior Proposal and shall require a new Superior Proposal Notice, except that the Notice Period with respect to such new Superior Proposal will be two (2) Business Days instead of four (4) Business Days) immediately following delivery of the new Superior Proposal Notice, and

(E) following the end of the Notice Period(s) referred to above, the Company Board determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel, and taking into account any modifications to this Agreement proposed by the Parent prior to such time, that such Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal, and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law;

(2) other than in connection with an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Company Board may effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if:

(A) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel) that the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law,

(B) the Company has notified the Parent in writing at least four (4) Business Days before effecting a Company Board Recommendation Change that it intends to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event, describing in reasonable detail the underlying facts giving rise to, and the reasons for making, such Company Board Recommendation Change (a “Recommendation Change Notice”) (it being understood that the Recommendation Change Notice shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change or a Trigger Event for purposes of this Agreement),

(C) if requested by the Parent, the Company shall have engaged in good faith negotiations with the Parent and its Representatives during the four (4) Business Day period immediately following delivery by the Company to the Parent of such Recommendation Change Notice with respect to adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement

proposed by the Parent to obviate the need for a Company Board Recommendation Change, and

(D) if the Parent shall have delivered to the Company a written, binding offer to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during such four (4) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel), after considering the modifications to this Agreement proposed by the Parent, that the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would still be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(e) Notices to the Parent.

(i) Following expiration of the Go-Shop Period, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the Go-Shop Period), advise the Parent in writing of the identity of each Qualified Person from whom the Company received a written Acquisition Proposal after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the expiration of the Go-Shop Period, which notice shall include copies of drafts of proposed agreements, term sheets or letters of intent related thereto provided to the Company or any of its Representatives and a summary of the material terms of all Acquisition Proposals by each Qualified Person that were not made in writing.

(ii) Following expiration of the Go-Shop Period, the Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) notify the Parent in writing (1) of the receipt of any Acquisition Proposal after the expiration of the Go-Shop Period, which notice shall include the identity of the Person(s) making, and a summary of the material terms of, such Acquisition Proposal and copies of drafts of proposed agreements, term sheets or letters of intent related thereto provided to the Company or any of its Representatives, and (2) of any material written change to the terms and conditions (including any written change to the amount, form or mix of consideration) of any such Acquisition Proposal described in clause (1) above (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Acquisition Proposal involving a Qualified Person), including revised copies of drafts of proposed agreements, term sheets or letters of intent related thereto provided to the Company or any of its Representatives.

(f) Certain Permitted Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position with respect to a tender offer contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder (which statement, in and of itself, shall not be deemed to constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change), or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board, after consultation with legal

counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under Applicable Law provided, that if any such disclosure pursuant to this clause (ii) has the substantive effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Board Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Company Board Recommendation Change for purposes of this Agreement (it being understood that any “stop, look or listen” communication that contains only the information set forth in Rule 14d-9(f) shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to be a Company Board Recommendation Change).

6.2 No Solicitation by the Parent. Except as permitted under this Section 6.2, the Parent shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and their Representatives to immediately cease any solicitation, encouragement, discussions or negotiations with any Persons that may be ongoing with respect to a Parent Acquisition Proposal.

(c) grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2, if at any time prior to receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval, the Parent, its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives receives a Parent Acquisition Proposal from any Person or group of Persons (that does not arise out of a material breach of this Section 6.2), (i) the Parent, its Subsidiaries and their Representatives may contact such Person or group of Persons to clarify the terms and conditions thereof and (ii) if the Parent Board, or any committee thereof, determines in good faith (1) after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel that such Parent Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, a Parent Superior Proposal, and (2) after consultation with legal counsel, that the failure to take such actions set forth in clauses (w), (x) or (y) below with respect to such Parent Acquisition Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, then the Parent, its Subsidiaries, and their Representatives may (w) furnish information (including non-public information) with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries to the Person or group of Persons who has made such Parent Acquisition Proposal (pursuant to a Parent Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), (x) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations (including solicitation of revised Parent Acquisition Proposals) with the Person or group of Persons making such Parent Acquisition Proposal and (y) amend, or grant a waiver or release under, any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any Parent capital stock with any such Person or group of Persons who

(D) if requested by the Company, the Parent shall have engaged in good faith negotiations with the Company and its Representatives during the four (4) Business Day period immediately following delivery of the Parent Superior Proposal Notice (the “Parent Notice Period”) with respect to the Company’s proposed adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Parent Acquisition Proposal would cease to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal (it being understood that any material revision or amendment to the terms and conditions of such Parent Superior Proposal (including any revision to the amount, form or mix of consideration) shall be deemed to constitute a new Parent Superior Proposal and shall require a new Parent Superior Proposal Notice, except that the Parent Notice Period with respect to such new Parent Superior Proposal will be two (2) Business Days instead of four (4) Business Days) immediately following delivery of the new Parent Superior Proposal Notice, and

(E) following the end of the Parent Notice Period(s) referred to above, the Parent Board determines in good faith after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel, and taking into account any modifications to this Agreement proposed by the Company prior to such time, that such Parent Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Parent Superior Proposal, and that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(D) if the Company shall have delivered to the Parent a written, binding offer to alter the terms or conditions of this Agreement during such four (4) Business Day period, the Parent Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and legal counsel), after considering the modifications to this Agreement proposed by the Company, that the failure to effect a Parent Board Recommendation Change would still be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law.

(3) Following the date hereof, the Parent shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) notify the Company in writing (1) of the receipt of any Parent Acquisition Proposal that is received on or after the date hereof, which notice shall include the identity of the Person(s) making, and a summary of the material terms of, such Parent Acquisition Proposal and copies of drafts of proposed agreements, term sheets or letters of intent related thereto provided to the Company or any of its Representatives, and (2) of any material written change to the terms and conditions (including any written change to the amount, form or mix of consideration) of any such Parent Acquisition Proposal described in clause (1) above, including revised copies of drafts of proposed agreements, term sheets or letters of intent related thereto provided to the Company or any of its Representatives.

(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or the Parent Board from making any disclosure to the Parent’s stockholders if, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Board, after consultation with legal counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under Applicable Law provided, that if any such disclosure has the substantive effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Parent Board Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Parent Board Recommendation Change for purposes of this Agreement.

6.3 New York Stock Exchange Listing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing of the Company Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange.

6.4 Confidentiality; Access to Information.

(a) Except as expressly modified herein, the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

(b) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) afford to the Parent’s Representatives, reasonable access, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably disrupt or interfere with business operations, to all of its books, contracts, records and other information as the Parent may reasonably request, and, during such period, the Company shall (and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to) (i) promptly make available to the Parent and its Representatives (A) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed or received by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities laws and (B) all other information concerning its business, properties, assets, liabilities, financial and operating data and other aspects of the Company as the Parent may reasonably request and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Parent reasonably informed of any material plans or developments affecting the business, including with regard to any proposed agreements or commitments or proposed modifications to agreements or commitments that the Company believes in good faith would reasonably be expected to be material to the assets, business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and to the extent reasonably possible allow representatives of the Parent an opportunity to share thoughts for the Company’s consideration; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to permit any inspection or other access, or to disclose any information, (x) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, Trigger Event, Recommendation Change Notice or Superior Proposal Notice, (y) that would violate any legal requirement or contractual obligation of the Company with respect to confidentiality or privacy, including under any privacy policy (provided, that the Company shall, upon the request of the Parent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the required consent of any third party to such access or disclosure), or (z) that would result in the loss of attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine (provided, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow for such access or disclosure in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine). Any such information shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. Prior to the Closing, none of the Parent, US Holdco or the Merger Sub shall (and each shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to) contact or communicate with any of the employees, customers, licensors, distributors or suppliers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The provisions of clause (ii) of this Section 6.4 are intended to be a good faith obligation of the parties and, as such, any failure to comply shall not be considered in judging satisfaction of the condition to Closing set forth in Section 7.3(b) of this Agreement.

6.5 Regulatory Matters.

(a) Subject to the terms hereof, including Section 6.1, Section 6.5(b), Section 6.5(c) and Section 6.5(d), each party hereto shall each use its reasonable best efforts to:

(i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties hereto in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as practicable;

(ii) as promptly as practicable, obtain any consents, licenses, permits, waivers, approvals, authorizations, or orders required to be obtained by such party (or any of its Subsidiaries) from any Governmental Entity in connection with the authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to pay any monies or agree to any material undertaking in connection with any of the foregoing;

(iii) as promptly as practicable, make all necessary filings, and thereafter make any other required submissions, with respect to this Agreement and the Merger required under (A) the Exchange Act, the laws, rules and regulations of the UKLA and the London Stock Exchange, and any other applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws, (B) the HSR Act, any other applicable Antitrust Laws and any related governmental request thereunder and (C) any other Applicable Law;

(iv) contest and resist any action, including any administrative or judicial action, and seek to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) (a “Restrictive Order”) which has the effect of making the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(v) execute or deliver any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement.

The parties hereto shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings and submissions contemplated by the foregoing clauses (ii) or (iii), including providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing Person and its advisors prior to filing and, if requested, accepting reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith; provided however, that the parties shall be entitled to redact any information relating to transaction value and similar matters relating to the Transaction. Each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 6.5(a) shall limit any obligation under any other provision in this Section 6.5. and no party hereto shall be in violation of this Agreement by virtue of providing information that is competitively sensitive to one another on an “outside counsel only” or other basis designed to ensure compliance with Applicable Law (including the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws).

(b) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.5, each of the Parent and the Company shall (i) as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the date of this Agreement, if required, make an appropriate filing of a Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act (including seeking early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act) with respect to the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) promptly make all filings as may be required under any other applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (to the extent required). None of the Parent, US Holdco, the Merger Sub or the Company shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Entity to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act or other applicable Antitrust Laws or enter into a timing agreement with any Governmental Entity, without the prior written consent of the other parties.

(c) Subject to the terms hereof, and without limiting the Parent’s obligations under Section 6.5(d), the parties hereto shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate and use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain any government clearances or approvals required for the Closing under any Antitrust Law, to respond to any government requests for information under any Antitrust Law, to cause any waiting periods under any applicable Antitrust Laws to expire or be terminated, and to contest and resist any action, including any legislative, administrative or judicial action, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Restrictive Order. The parties hereto shall consult and cooperate with one another, and consider in good faith the views of one another, in connection with, and provide to the other parties in advance, any analyses, appearances, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions and proposals made or submitted by or on behalf of any party hereto in connection with proceedings under or relating to any Antitrust Law. To the extent permitted by law or Governmental Entities reviewing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the parties will provide each other the opportunity to participate in meetings and other substantive conversations with any such Governmental Entities.

(d) In furtherance of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.5, and notwithstanding any limitations therein or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Parent shall promptly take (and shall cause each of its Affiliates to take) any and all actions necessary or advisable in order to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and obtain all approvals and consents under any Antitrust Laws that may be required by any foreign or U.S. federal, state or local Governmental Entity, in each case with competent jurisdiction, so as to enable the parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, including committing to, by consent decree or otherwise, operational restrictions or limitations on, and committing to or effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust or otherwise, the sale, license, disposition or holding separate of, such assets or businesses of the Parent, US Holdco, the Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates (and the entry into agreements with, and submission to decrees, judgments, injunctions or orders of the relevant Governmental Entity) as may be required to obtain such approvals or consents of such Governmental Entities or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any decrees, judgments, injunctions or orders that would otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to the Parent’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, the Company may make, subject to the condition that the transactions contemplated hereby actually occur, any undertakings (including undertakings to accept operational restrictions or limitations or to make sales or other dispositions, provided that such restrictions, limitations, sales or other dispositions are conditioned upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) as are required to obtain such approvals or consents of such Governmental Entities or to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of or vacate or lift, any decrees, judgments, injunctions or orders that would

otherwise have the effect of preventing or delaying the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. None of the Parent, US Holdco or the Merger Sub, directly or indirectly, through one or more of their respective Affiliates, shall take any action, including acquiring or making any investment in any person or any division or assets thereof, that would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the satisfaction of any of the conditions contained in Article VII or the consummation of the Merger or the Rights Issue. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Parent shall take any and all actions necessary in order to ensure that (i) no requirement for any non-action by or consent or approval of any foreign or U.S. federal, state or local Governmental Entity with respect to any Antitrust Laws, (ii) no Restrictive Order with respect to any Antitrust Laws and (iii) no other matter relating to any Antitrust Laws would preclude consummation of the Merger prior to the Outside Date. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Parent shall not be required to make any material operational changes to address any governmental investigation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any litigation related to any alleged anticompetitive conduct of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case that is ongoing as of the date of this Agreement.

6.6 Public Disclosure. The press release announcing the execution of this Agreement shall be issued only in such form as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Parent. Except as may be required by law or stock market regulations, and except as provided in Sections 6.1, 6.15 and 6.16, the Parent and the Company shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other party before issuing any other press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to the Merger or this Agreement; provided, however, that these restrictions shall not apply to any Company or Parent communications (i) in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, Trigger Event, Recommendation Change Notice or Superior Proposal Notice (except as required under Section 6.1) or (ii) that are consistent in all material respects with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by a party hereto in accordance with this Section 6.6, including investor conference calls, filings with the SEC or UKLA, or Q&As or other publicly disclosed documents. Nothing in this Section 6.6 shall limit the ability of the Company or the Parent to make any internal announcements to their respective employees that are consistent with the prior public disclosures made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

6.7 Director and Officer Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, each of the Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Indemnified Party is or was an officer, director, manager, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or, while an officer, director or manager of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, is or was serving at the request of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries as an officer, director, manager, employee or agent of another Person, in each case in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Each Indemnified Party will be entitled to

advancement of expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of the Parent and the Surviving Corporation within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Parent or the Surviving Corporation from the Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides a written undertaking to repay such advances if it is determined by a final determination of a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal) that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under Applicable Law. The indemnification agreements with the Company’s directors and officers that survive the Merger shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(b) From the Effective Time through the six-year anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and the Parent shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions that are no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of individuals who, at the Effective Time, were current or former directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries than are set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

(c) Subject to the next sentence, the Surviving Corporation shall either (i) maintain, and the Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain, at no expense to the beneficiaries, in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time the Current D&O Insurance with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), so long as the annual premium therefor would not exceed the Maximum Premium, or (ii) purchase a Reporting Tail Endorsement and maintain such endorsement in full force and effect for its full six (6) year term. If the Company’s or the Surviving Corporation’s existing insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during such six-year period or exceeds the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Corporation shall obtain, and the Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to obtain, as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum Premium, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the Current D&O Insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may, prior to the Effective Time, purchase a Reporting Tail Endorsement, provided that the Company does not pay more than six times the Maximum Premium for such Reporting Tail Endorsement. If a Reporting Tail Endorsement has been purchased by the Company prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Reporting Tail Endorsement to be maintained in full force and effect for its full six (6) year term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation.

(d) In the event the Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall expressly assume and succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

(e) If any Indemnified Party makes any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 6.7 that is denied by the Parent and/or the Company or the Surviving Corporation, and a court of competent jurisdiction determines that the Indemnified Party is entitled to such indemnification or advancement of expenses, then the Parent, the Company or the Surviving Corporation shall pay the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with pursuing his or her claims to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.7 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to any Indemnified Party by law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.

6.8 Notification of Certain Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall give prompt notice to the Parent (in any case within two (2) Business Days of discovery thereof) of (a) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event, development, circumstance or change which occurrence or failure to occur is reasonably expected to cause any representation or warranty of such Person (or, in case of the Parent’s obligation to provide notice, any representation or warranty of US Holdco or the Merger Sub) contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate (i) in the case of any representation or warranty of the Company, in any manner that would result in the failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.3(a) or (ii) in the case of any representation or warranty of the Parent, US Holdco or the Merger Sub, in any manner that would result in the failure of the condition set forth in Section 7.2(a), (b) any material failure by such Person (or, in case of the Parent’s obligation to provide notice, any material breach by US Holdco or the Merger Sub) to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement set forth in this Agreement or (c) any written notice or other written communication from any Governmental Entity alleging that the Merger requires the consent or approval of such Governmental Entity. The parties hereto agree that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.8 shall not, in and of itself, affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transactions or the remedies available to the parties hereunder.

6.9 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) Subject to the foregoing, for a period of one (1) year following the Effective Time, the Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide, to each Company Employee who is employed immediately prior to the Effective Time and who, upon the Effective Time, becomes an employee of the Parent or remains an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each such individual, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) a total compensation package no less favorable in the aggregate than the total compensation package (including base salary, commissions and annual bonus opportunities and value of annual equity awards) provided to such employee immediately before the Effective Time and (ii) other employee benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the other benefits provided to such Continuing Employee immediately before the Effective Time (excluding retiree benefits and defined benefit pension benefits). It is understood that Parent need not provide equity awards provided they are replaced with an equivalent benefit.

(b) The Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, ensure that for purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits (but not for purposes of benefit accruals) under the New Benefit Plans, each Continuing Employee will, subject to Applicable Law and applicable Tax qualification requirements, be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under an analogous Company Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, ensure that (i) each Continuing Employee will be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any New Health Plan to the extent coverage under such New Health Plan is of the same type as the coverage such Continuing Employee received under an analogous Company Employee Plan immediately before the Effective Time (such analogous Company Employee Plan, “Old Health Plan”), and (ii)(A) for purposes of each New Health Plan all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Health Plan be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the Old Health Plan and (B) any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Health Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Health Plan begins be taken into account under such New Health Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Health Plan.

(c) The Parent shall provide each Continuing Employee who incurs a termination of employment during the one-year period following the Effective Time with severance payments and benefits that are equal to the severance payments and benefits that would have been paid under the Company’s severance practices as in existence on the date of this Agreement and as set forth in the Employee Benefit Plans included on Schedule 3.15(a).

(d) Except as provided in Section 10.4 hereof with respect to holders of equity awards regarding the receipt of Merger Consideration hereunder, all provisions contained in this Agreement with respect to employee benefit plans or employee compensation are included for the sole benefit of the respective parties and shall not create any right or remedy (including any third party beneficiary rights) in any other Person, including any Continuing Employee, current or former Company Employee or any participant or beneficiary in any Company Employee Plan. Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) require the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries to continue to employ any Continuing Employee following the Effective Time or to provide any right to a particular term or condition of employment, (ii) require the Parent, the Company, or any respective Subsidiary to continue any Company Employee Plan or (iii) be construed to prohibit the Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries from amending or terminating any employee benefit plan in accordance with its terms or to amend or create any employee benefit plan or any similar plan or agreement from the Parent or its Affiliates.

6.10 State Takeover Laws. If any “fair price,” “business combination” or “control share acquisition” statute or other similar statute or regulation is or may become applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Parent Irrevocable Undertakings or the Company Voting Agreement, the parties hereto and their respective boards of directors shall (a) grant such approvals and (b) take all such actions as are necessary to eliminate or minimize the effects of any such statute or regulation on such transactions.

6.11 Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause the transactions contemplated by Section 2.3 and any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

6.12 Financing. (a) The Parent and US Holdco shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and subject only to the conditions (including the market flex provisions) set forth in the Financing Documents, including taking all actions necessary to (i) maintain in effect and comply with the Financing Documents, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and subject to the conditions (including the market flex provisions) set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters (or on other terms which do not (A) reduce (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of any portion of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount other than as effected pursuant to any market flex provisions expressly set forth in the Fee Letter) if such reduction would reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below the amount needed to fund the Parent Payment Obligations and the US Holdco Payment Obligations on the Closing Date, (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions precedent to the Financing (or otherwise expand, amend or modify any other provision of the Financing Documents), in a manner that could reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date or (C) adversely impact the ability of the Parent or US Holdco to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Documents or the definitive agreements with respect to the Financing), (iii) satisfy (and cause its Affiliates to satisfy) on a timely basis all conditions applicable to the Parent and its Affiliates in the Financing Documents and the definitive agreements related thereto (or, if necessary or deemed advisable by the Parent, seek the waiver of conditions applicable to the Parent or its applicable Subsidiary contained in such Financing Document or such definitive agreements related thereto), (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to the time the Closing was required to occur pursuant to Section 1.3, including using reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders, underwriters and the other Persons committing to fund the Financing to fund the Financing, including to cause the underwriters to procure subscribers for, and if such subscribers cannot be procured, subscribe, any ordinary shares in the capital of the Parent not properly subscribed and paid for in the Rights Issue in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, (v) conduct the Rights Issue in accordance with the Parent Shareholders Circular (or any amendment or supplement thereto), (vi) enforce its rights under the Financing Documents and the definitive agreements relating to the Financing, including enforcing the Parent’s rights to compel GCH to acquire its full

entitlement under the terms of the Rights Issue pursuant to Section 3 of the Parent Irrevocable Undertaking, dated the date hereof, between the Parent and GCH, and (vii) comply with its covenants and other obligations under the Financing Documents and the definitive agreements relating to the Financing. The Parent and US Holdco shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, take any action that would constitute a breach of, or would result in the termination of, any of the Financing Documents, in each case, in a manner that could reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date. The Parent and US Holdco shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, agree to or permit any termination of or amendment, supplement or modification to be made to, or grant any waiver of any provision under, the Financing Documents or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing if such termination, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver could (A) reduce (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of any portion of the Financing (including by increasing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount other than as effected pursuant to any market flex provisions expressly set forth in the Fee Letter) if such reduction would reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below the amount needed to fund the Parent Payment Obligations and the US Holdco Payment Obligations on the Closing Date, (B) impose new or additional conditions precedent to the availability of the Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions precedent to the Financing (or otherwise expand, amend or modify any other provision of the Financing Documents), in a manner that could reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to the Financing) on the Closing Date or (C) adversely impact the ability of the Parent or US Holdco to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Documents or the definitive agreements with respect to the Financing; provided, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Parent and US Holdco shall be permitted to amend the Debt Commitment Letters solely to add lenders, arrangers, book-runners, syndication and documentation agents or similar entities who have not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement, (y) the Parent shall be permitted to enter into the Re-Pricing Memorandum as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and (z) the Parent and US Holdco shall be permitted to assign their rights and obligations under the Debt Commitment Letters to certain wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Parent to the extent permitted by the Debt Commitment Letters (provided that any such assignment shall not affect the liabilities or obligations of the Parent, US Holdco or the Merger Sub hereunder and the Parent shall cause any such assignee to perform any such obligations to the extent necessary to preserve the original intent of the parties hereunder). The Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of any amendment, modification, supplement, consent or waiver to or under any Financing Document or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing as soon as reasonably practicable following the execution thereof.

(b) The Parent shall keep the Company informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail, upon reasonable request by the Company, of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and provide to the Company drafts (reasonably in advance of execution) and thereafter complete, correct and executed copies of the material definitive documents for the Financing (provided that any draft or complete, correct and executed copies of Fee Letters so provided may be redacted with respect to fee amounts, and “market flex” provisions and other economic terms). The Parent and US Holdco shall inform the Company as soon as reasonably practicable (i) of any actual breach or default (or any event, development, circumstance or change that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to give

rise to any breach or default), termination, cancellation or repudiation by any party to any of the Financing Documents or definitive documents related to the Financing of which the Parent or US Holdco becomes aware, (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing source with respect to any (A) actual or alleged breach or default, termination, cancellation or repudiation by any party to any of the Financing Documents or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Documents or any definitive document related to the Financing or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any of the Financing Documents or any definitive document related to the Financing with respect to the conditionality or amount of the Financing or the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Closing (but, in each case, excluding ordinary course negotiations), and (iii) of the occurrence of an event, development, circumstance or change that could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the ability of the Parent or its Subsidiaries to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Documents on the terms and conditions, in the manner and from the Financing Sources contemplated by any of the Financing Documents or the definitive documents related to the Financing (or if at any time for any other reason the Parent or US Holdco believes that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Financing Documents on the terms and conditions, in the manner and from the Financing Sources contemplated by any of the Financing Documents or the definitive documents related to the Financing) necessary for the payment of the US Holdco Payment Obligations and the Parent Payment Obligations on the Closing Date. As soon as reasonably practicable, the Parent and US Holdco shall provide any additional information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in the immediately preceding sentence; provided that the Parent shall not be required to provide any such additional information to the extent disclosure would be prohibited under Applicable Law or such disclosure could reasonably be expected to result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege (it being understood that this proviso does not limit Parent’s and US Holdco’s obligations under immediately preceding sentence), provided that the Parent and US Holdco shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege. If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any applicable market flex provisions) contemplated by the Financing Documents, and such portion is required to fund the Parent Payment Obligations or the US Holdco Payment Obligations, the Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Parent and US Holdco shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain in replacement thereof, and negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from the same or alternative Financing sources in an amount sufficient to fund the Parent Payment Obligations and the US Holdco Payment Obligations on the Closing Date with terms and conditions (including market flex provisions) not materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Parent and US Holdco (or its Affiliates) than the terms and conditions set forth in the Financing Documents, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, development, circumstance or change. The Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all contracts, agreements or other arrangements (including Fee Letters (which may be redacted solely with respect to fee amounts, original issue discount, “market flex” provisions and other economic terms; provided, that such redactions do not relate to any terms that could adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability, availability, termination or aggregate principal amount (other than with respect to original issue discount) of the Debt Financing or other funding being made available by such Debt Financing

Nothing contained in this Section 6.12 or otherwise shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be a borrower or obligor with respect to the Financing prior to the Effective Time.

(e) In no event shall the Parent or any of its Affiliates (which for purposes of this Section 6.12(e) shall be deemed to include each direct or indirect investor or potential investor in the Parent, GCH or any of the Parent’s, GCH’s or any such investor’s financing sources or potential financing sources or other Representatives), without the prior written consent of the Company, (i) award any agent, broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other firm or person except HSBC Bank plc, Barclays Bank PLC, Investec Bank plc or N.M.

any bank or investment bank or other potential provider of debt or equity financing from providing or seeking to provide financing or financial advisory services to any Person in connection with a transaction relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or in connection with the Transactions.

(f) The Parent, US Holdco and the Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding the Company’s obligations under Section 6.12(c), none of the obtaining of the Financing or any permitted alternative financing, or the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the Financing, is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirm their obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any permitted alternative financing or the completion of any such issuance, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3.

(g) All non-public or otherwise confidential information regarding the Company obtained by the Parent, US Holdco or any of their Representatives pursuant to Section 6.12(c) above shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that, upon notice to the Company, the Parent may provide such information to potential sources of capital and to rating agencies and prospective lenders and investors during syndication of the Financing (including any permitted alternative financing) subject to customary confidentiality arrangements with such Persons regarding such information.

6.13 Control of Operations.

withdrawal or dismissal of all claims and actions then pending relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing or mailing the Information Statement or the Proxy Statement, as applicable, (or any amendment or supplement thereto, as applicable) or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company (A) shall provide the Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such document or response and (B) shall give due consideration to the Parent’s comments reasonably proposed by the Parent.

(b) Immediately prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting, the Company shall take all actions necessary to deliver to the Parent the Written Consent duly executed by the Principal Stockholder and certified as true and complete by an executive officer of the Company, which by its terms shall be effective immediately following and conditional upon the receipt of the Parent Stockholder Approval and satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in the Company Voting Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to deliver the Written Consent prior to February 1, 2018.

proceeding which results in a judgment against the other party, with respect to the Parent, US Holdco or the Merger Sub, or parties, with respect to the Company, for the payment set forth in this Section 8.3, such paying party shall pay the other party or parties, as applicable, its or their reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, action or proceeding, together with interest on such amount at the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received.

Except in the case of fraud, the Company agrees that, upon any termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Parent Termination Fee by the Parent, when due, pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Company shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Parent, US Holdco or the Merger Sub, at law or in equity or otherwise, and the Company shall not seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Parent, US Holdco, the Merger Sub or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, stockholders or Affiliates (other than GCH and Sirius Trust/Pax Settlement pursuant to the Parent Irrevocable Undertakings) or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that, in the case of Willful Breach, the Company may elect in its sole discretion to reject payment of the Parent Termination Fee (and any fee payable by GCH under the Parent Irrevocable Undertakings) and seek any alternative remedy available at law or in equity or otherwise.

8.4 Certain VAT Matters.

(a) The parties hereto intend, and shall take the position and use all reasonable endeavors to ensure that it is accepted for VAT purposes that the Parent Termination Fee, the Base Company Termination Fee and the Additional Company Termination Fee, being compensatory in nature, are outside the scope of VAT and are not and will not be treated for VAT purposes, in whole or in part, as consideration for a taxable supply.

(b) Accordingly, the Parent shall treat the payment of the Parent Termination Fee, and the Company shall treat the payment of the Base Company Termination Fee and the Additional Company Termination Fee, as falling outside the scope of VAT and shall

pay the full amount of it free and clear of any deduction or adjustment whether pursuant to Section 8.4(c)(ii)(2) or otherwise.

(c) If, however, the Parent Termination Fee is treated by any Taxing Authority in whole or in part as the consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes:

(i) if the Parent Termination Fee is treated by the relevant Taxing Authority as the consideration for a taxable supply in respect of which the Company is liable to account for VAT, then:

(1) The Company shall issue a valid VAT invoice to the Parent, and the Parent shall use reasonable efforts to recover (by refund, credit, deduction or otherwise) such VAT;

(2) if and to the extent that such VAT is not recoverable by the Parent by refund, credit, deduction or otherwise, provided the Parent has used its reasonable efforts to recover such VAT in accordance with Section 8.4(c)(i)(1), no additional amount shall be paid in respect of VAT and the Parent Termination Fee shall be VAT inclusive; and/or

(3) if and to the extent that such VAT is recoverable by the Parent by refund, credit, deduction or otherwise, or would be recoverable by the Parent had the Parent used reasonable efforts to recover such VAT in accordance with Section 8.4(c)(i)(1), the amount of the Parent Termination Fee shall be increased to take account of such recoverable VAT; and

(ii) if under a reverse charge mechanism the Parent Termination Fee is treated by the relevant Taxing Authority as consideration for a taxable supply in respect of which the Parent is liable to account for VAT, then;

(1) the Parent shall, (A) account for, under the reverse charge procedure, and pay to the relevant Taxing Authority any VAT chargeable thereon, and (B) use reasonable efforts to recover (by refund, credit, deduction or otherwise) any such VAT; and

(2) the amount of the Parent Termination Fee payable by the Parent shall be reduced by an amount such that the sum payable by the Parent, when aggregated with any irrecoverable VAT thereon, is equal to the amount of the Parent Termination Fee that would be payable but for this Section 8.4(c)(ii)(2),

such that after making any such adjustments the aggregate of (I) the total amount of the Parent Termination Fee paid to the Company (including any amount in respect of VAT) plus (II) any irrecoverable VAT incurred under a reverse charge mechanism, together with any related interest or penalties in respect of such reverse charge VAT (but excluding any interest or penalties arising as a result of the unreasonable delay or default of the Parent, or relating to any period after the Company has accounted to the Parent for any reduction in the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.4(c)(ii)(2)), less (III) any VAT which is recovered

or recoverable as referred to in Section 8.4(c)(i)(3), shall be equal to the amount that the Parent Termination Fee would have been in the absence of such VAT.

(d) Any adjustment payment in respect of any reduction made pursuant to Section 8.4(c)(ii)(2) shall be made on or before the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Parent is required to account to any Taxing Authority for any such irrecoverable VAT.

(e) Any adjustment payment in respect of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 8.4(c)(i)(3) shall be made on the date which is five (5) Business Days following the date on which the Parent recovers, or would have recovered (by refund, credit, deduction or otherwise) had it used reasonable efforts to do so in accordance with Section 8.4(c)(i)(1), any amounts in respect of such VAT.

(f) If, however, the Base Company Termination Fee or the Additional Company Termination Fee is treated by any Taxing Authority in whole or in part as the consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes, the provisions of Section 8.4(c), (d) and (e) shall apply as if (w) the first reference to the “Parent Termination Fee” in Section 8.4(c) were to the “Base Company Termination Fee or the Additional Company Termination Fee”; (x) all other references to the “Parent Termination Fee” were to the “Base Company Termination Fee or the Additional Company Termination Fee (as applicable)”; (y) references to “the Company” were to “the Parent”; and (z) references to “the Parent” were to “the Company”.

(g) In this Section 8.4, references to the Parent and the Company include, where applicable, references to a member of any group of which such entity is a member for VAT purposes.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, all payments of the Parent Termination Fee, the Base Company Termination Fee and the Additional Company Termination Fee shall be inclusive of any applicable VAT save as otherwise provided in this Section 8.4.

(i) In no event or circumstance shall the Parent be required to make a payment pursuant to this Article 8 which is more than the maximum amount permitted to be paid without the prior approval of its shareholders pursuant to the Listing Rules.

8.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented by the parties hereto by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Stockholder Approval; provided, however, that after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Stockholder Approval, no amendment may be made that pursuant to Applicable Law requires further approval or adoption by the stockholders of the Company or the Parent, respectively, without such further approval or adoption. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing specifically designated as an amendment, modification or supplement hereto (as applicable), signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in any manner that is materially adverse in any respect to Barclays Bank PLC or HSBC Bank plc without the prior written consent of Barclays Bank PLC or HSBC Bank plc, respectively and (ii) Section 10.15 may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in any manner that is materially adverse in any respect to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

8.6 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective Boards of Directors, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (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 hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. Such extension or waiver shall not apply to any time for performance, inaccuracy in any representation or warranty, or noncompliance with any agreement or condition, as the case may be, other than that which is specified in the extension or waiver. The failure of any party hereto to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

8.7 Procedure for Termination, Amendment, Extension or Waiver. A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, an amendment, modification or supplement of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.5 or an extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.6 shall, in order to be effective, require action by the respective Board of Directors of the applicable parties.

This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties hereto specifically disclaim reliance on any such prior understandings, agreements or representations to the extent not embodied in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

10.4 Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Section 6.6 (with respect to which the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries), (b) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of holders of shares of Company Common Stock, Company Restricted Shares and Company Performance Share Awards to receive the consideration set forth in Article II, (c) the rights of the respective Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries set forth in Section 6.12(d), (d) the rights of the Debt Financing Sources with respect to Sections 8.5, 10.5, 10.9, 10.11(b) and 10.12 (the Debt Financing Sources being express third-party beneficiaries of such Sections); (e) the rights of the Financing Sources with respect to Section 10.15 (the Financing Sources being express third party beneficiaries of such Section), and (f) the rights of the Company Related Parties with respect to Section 10.15.

10.5 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other

parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, that without such consent, the Parent, US Holdco and the Merger Sub may assign their rights under this Agreement (i) to a wholly owned Subsidiary, or (ii) from and after the Closing, to the Debt Financing Sources in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby for collateral security purposes, but in each case, such transfer or assignment shall not affect the liabilities or obligations of the Parent, US Holdco or the Merger Sub hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.6 Severability. Any term or provision (or part thereof) of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions (or parts thereof) hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision (or part thereof) in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision (or part thereof) hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision (or part thereof), to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision (or part thereof) with a term or provision (or part thereof) that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision (or part thereof), and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto shall replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision (or part thereof) with a valid and enforceable term or provision (or part thereof) that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term (or part thereof).

10.7 Counterparts and Signature. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (including by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail), each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile or by an electronic scan delivered by electronic mail.

10.10 Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Person will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Person, and the exercise by a Person of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary relief (including any fees payable pursuant to Section 8.3), even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that (i) prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity, (ii) the provisions set forth in Section 8.3 are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement and shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any party’s right to specific enforcement, and (iii) the right of specific enforcement of this Agreement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and without that right, neither the Company nor the Parent would have entered into this Agreement.

10.11 Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or, if that court does not have jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware (Complex Commercial Litigation Division), or, if the subject matter of the action is one over which exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the courts of the United States of America, a federal court sitting in the State of Delaware in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this

Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (b) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding shall be heard and determined in any such court, (c) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, and (d) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any other court. Each of the parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Person with respect thereto. Each of the parties hereto agrees that to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such party’s agent for service of process. Any party hereto may make service on another party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Section 10.11(a), however, shall affect the right of any Person to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Company Related Party and each of the other parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Debt Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including but not limited to any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to any Debt Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, or, if under applicable law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof)

10.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (INCLUDING ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING AGAINST THE DEBT FINANCING SOURCES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE DEBT FINANCING OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES WITH RESPECT THERETO). EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) 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, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.12.

10.13 Disclosure Schedule. The Company Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in Sections corresponding to the numbered sections contained in this Agreement, and the disclosure in any section shall qualify (a) the corresponding section of this Agreement and (b) the other sections of this Agreement, to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from a reading of such disclosure that it also qualifies or applies to such other sections. The inclusion of any information in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment, in and of itself, that such information is required by the terms hereof to be disclosed, is material, has resulted in or would result in a Company Material Adverse Effect or is outside the Ordinary Course of Business.

10.14 Parent Guarantee. The Parent agrees to take all action necessary to cause US Holdco, the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to perform all of its agreements, covenants and obligations under this Agreement. The Parent unconditionally guarantees to the Company the full and complete performance by US Holdco, the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, of its obligations under this Agreement and shall be liable for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of US Holdco or the Merger Sub, under this Agreement. The Parent hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, protest, notice and all defenses and demands whatsoever in connection with the performance of its obligations set forth in this Section 10.14. The Parent shall not have any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for any of the agreements, covenants and obligations of US Holdco, the Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, under this Agreement.

10.15 Non-recourse.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Company agrees, on behalf of itself and the Company Related Parties, that none of the Financing Sources shall have any liability or obligation to the Company or any of the Company Related Parties relating to this Agreement or the Financing Documents or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein (including the Financing); provided, however, that, the foregoing will not limit the rights of the parties to the Financing under the definitive agreements with respect thereto, and (ii) the Parent, US Holdco and the Merger Sub agree, on behalf of themselves and the Surviving Corporation, that other than the Principal Stockholder in accordance with the terms of the Company Voting Agreement, no Company Related Party shall have any liability or obligation to the Company, the Parent, US Holdco, the Merger Sub, Surviving Corporation or any of their Financing Sources relating to this Agreement or the Financing Documents or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein (including the Financing).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company agrees that no Parent Related Party shall have any liability or obligation to the Company relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated herein or therein, except the obligations of the Parent, US Holdco and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement and as otherwise agreed in writing by any Parent Related Party (including under the Parent Irrevocable Undertakings).

Form of Certificate of Incorporation
of the Surviving Corporation

FIRST: The name of the Corporation is Regal Entertainment Group (hereinafter the “Corporation”).

SECOND: The address of the registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx of New Castle, 19801. The name of its registered agent at that address is The Corporation Trust Company.

THIRD: The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as set forth in Title 8 of the Delaware Code (the “GCL”).

FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock which the Corporation shall have authority to issue is one thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock, each having a par value of one cent ($.01).

FIFTH: The following provisions are inserted for the management of the business and the conduct of the affairs of the Corporation, and for further definition, limitation and regulation of the powers of the Corporation and of its directors and stockholders:

(1) The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors.

(2) The directors shall have concurrent power with the stockholders to make, alter, amend, change, add to or repeal the By-Laws of the Corporation.

(3) The number of directors of the Corporation shall be as from time to time fixed by, or in the manner provided in, the By-Laws of the Corporation. Election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the By-Laws so provide.

(4) To the fullest extent permitted by the GCL as it now exists and as it may hereafter be amended, no director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of any fiduciary or other duty as a director provided that this provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (3) under Section 174 of the GCL or (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

(5) The rights and authority conferred in this Article FIFTH shall not be exclusive of any other right that any person may otherwise have or hereafter acquire.

(6) Neither the amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article FIFTH, nor the adoption of any provision inconsistent with this Article FIFTH, shall adversely affect any right or protection of a director of the Corporation existing at the time of such amendment, alteration or repeal with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment, alteration, repeal or adoption.

(7) Any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner (limited or general) or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, shall be (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to be) indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation (and any successor to the Corporation by merger or otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by, and subject to the conditions and (except as provided herein) procedures set forth in the GCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but any such amendment shall not be deemed to limit or prohibit the rights of indemnification hereunder for past acts or omissions of any such person insofar as such amendment limits or prohibits the indemnification rights that said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person (except for a suit or action pursuant to Paragraph 8 of Article FIFTH) only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. Persons who are not directors or officers of the Corporation and are not so serving at the request of the Corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of such service to the extent authorized at any time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation. The indemnification conferred in this Paragraph 7 of Article FIFTH also shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation (and such successor) the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of or other involvement in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if and to the extent the GCL requires, the payment of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Paragraph 7 of Article FIFTH or otherwise; and provided further, that, such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid in advance upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

(8) If a claim under Paragraph 7 of Article FIFTH is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant

may at any time thereafter bring an action against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the GCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed or is otherwise not entitled to indemnification under Paragraph 7 of Article FIFTH, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. The failure of the Corporation (in the manner provided under the GCL) to have made a determination prior to or after the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the GCL shall not be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Unless otherwise specified in an agreement with the claimant, an actual determination by the Corporation (in the manner provided under the GCL) after the commencement of such action that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct shall not be a defense to the action, but shall create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

(9) In addition to the powers and authority hereinbefore or by statute expressly conferred upon them, the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Corporation, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the GCL, this Certificate of Incorporation, and any By-Laws adopted by the stockholders; provided, however, that no By-Laws hereafter adopted by the stockholders shall invalidate any prior act of the directors which would have been valid if such By-Laws had not been adopted.

SIXTH: Meetings of stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, as the By-Laws may provide. The books of the Corporation may be kept (subject to any provision contained in the GCL) outside the State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors or in the By-Laws of the Corporation.

SEVENTH: The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this reservation.

Section 2. Annual Meetings. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the election of directors shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. Any other proper business may be transacted at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Section 3. Special Meetings. Unless otherwise required by law or by the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as amended and restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), Special Meetings of Stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by either (i) the Chairman, if there be one, or (ii) the President, (iii) any Vice President, if there be one, (iv) the Secretary or (v) any Assistant Secretary, if there be one, and shall be called by any such officer at the request in writing of (i) the Board of Directors, (ii) a committee of the Board of Directors that has been duly designated by the Board of Directors and whose powers and authority include the power to call such meetings or (iii) stockholders owning a majority of the capital stock of the Corporation issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. At a Special Meeting of Stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall be specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto).

Section 4. Notice. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, and, in the case of a Special Meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting.

Section 5. Adjournments. Any meeting of the stockholders may be adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting in accordance with the requirements of Section 4 hereof shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting.

Section 6. Quorum. Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of a majority of the Corporation’s capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. A quorum, once established, shall not be broken by the withdrawal of enough votes to leave less than a quorum. If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, in the manner provided in Section 5 hereof, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

Section 7. Voting. Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, or permitted by the rules of any stock exchange on which the Corporation’s shares are listed and traded, any question brought before any meeting of the stockholders, other than the election of directors, shall be decided by the vote of the holders of a majority of the total number of votes of the Corporation’s capital stock represented at the meeting and entitled to vote on such question, voting as a single class. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to Section 11(a) of this Article II, each stockholder represented at a meeting of the stockholders shall be entitled to cast one (1) vote for each share of the capital stock entitled to vote thereat held by such stockholder. Such votes may be cast in person or by proxy as provided in Section 8 of this Article II. The Board of Directors, in its discretion, or the officer of the Corporation presiding at a meeting of the stockholders, in such officer’s discretion, may require that any votes cast at such meeting shall be cast by written ballot.

Section 8. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted upon after three years from its date, unless such proxy provides for a longer period. Without limiting the manner in which a stockholder may authorize another person or

persons to act for such stockholder as proxy, the following shall constitute a valid means by which a stockholder may grant such authority:

(i) A stockholder may execute a writing authorizing another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy. Execution may be accomplished by the stockholder or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent signing such writing or causing such person’s signature to be affixed to such writing by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, by facsimile signature.

(ii) A stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder as proxy by transmitting or authorizing the transmission of a telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission to the person who will be the holder of the proxy or to a proxy solicitation firm, proxy support service organization or like agent duly authorized by the person who will be the holder of the proxy to receive such transmission, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other means of electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was authorized by the stockholder. If it is determined that such telegrams, cablegrams or other electronic transmissions are valid, the inspectors or, if there are no inspectors, such other persons making that determination shall specify the information on which they relied.

Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission authorizing another person or persons to act as proxy for a stockholder may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used; provided, however, that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission.

Section 9. Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any Annual or Special Meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section 9 to the Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and

transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this Section 9, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (i) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission. The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed. No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as provided above in this Section 9.

Section 10. List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. The officer of the Corporation who has charge of the stock ledger of the Corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of the stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

Section 11. Record Date.

(a) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of

Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

(b) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of the stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the Board of Directors and prior action by the Board of Directors is required by applicable law, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.

If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, inspectors may be officers, employees or agents of the Corporation.

Section 8. Actions of the Board by Written Consent. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, any action required or permitted

to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all the members of the Board of Directors or such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission, and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee.

Section 10. Committees. The Board of Directors may designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Each member of a committee must meet the requirements for membership, if any, imposed by applicable law and the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or quotation system on which the securities of the Corporation are listed or quoted for trading. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of any such committee. Subject to the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or quotation system on which the securities of the Corporation are listed or quoted for trading, in the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, and in the absence of a designation by the Board of Directors of an alternate member to replace the absent or disqualified member, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another qualified member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any absent or disqualified member. Any committee, to the extent permitted by law and provided in the resolution establishing such committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. Each committee shall keep regular minutes and report to the Board of Directors when required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article III, the resolution of the Board of Directors establishing any committee of the Board of Directors and/or the charter of any such committee may establish requirements or procedures relating to the governance and/or operation of such committee that are different from, or in addition to, those set forth in these By-Laws and, to the extent that there is any inconsistency between these By-Laws and any such resolution or charter, the terms of such resolution or charter shall be controlling.

Members of special or standing committees may be allowed like compensation for service as committee members.

Section 12. Interested Directors. No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any

other corporation, partnership, association or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because any such director’s or officer’s vote is counted for such purpose if: (i) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to the director’s or officer’s relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof or the stockholders.

Every certificate exchanged, returned or surrendered to the Corporation shall be marked “Cancelled,” with the date of cancellation, by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or the transfer agent thereof.

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Corporation under applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission if consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed to be revoked if (i) the Corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices by the Corporation in accordance with such consent and (ii) such inability becomes known to the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Notice given by electronic transmission, as described above, shall be deemed given: (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network, together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

Section 2. Waivers of Notice. Whenever any notice is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws, to be given to any director, member of a committee or stockholder, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person or persons entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto. Attendance of a

person at a meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where the person attends the meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any Annual or Special Meeting of Stockholders or any regular or special meeting of the directors or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-Laws.

Section 1. Authorization of Indemnification. Each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether by or in the right of the Corporation or otherwise (a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she, or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner (limited or general) or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, shall be (and shall be deemed to have a contractual right to be)

indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation (and any successor to the Corporation by merger or otherwise) to the fullest extent authorized by, and subject to the conditions and (except as provided herein) procedures set forth in the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but any such amendment shall not be deemed to limit or prohibit the rights of indemnification hereunder for past acts or omissions of any such person insofar as such amendment limits or prohibits the indemnification rights that said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expenses, liabilities and losses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person (except for a suit or action pursuant to Section 2 of this Article VIII) only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors. Persons who are not directors or officers of the Corporation and are not so serving at the request of the Corporation may be similarly indemnified in respect of such service to the extent authorized at any time by the Board of Directors. The indemnification conferred in this Section 1 of this Article VIII also shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation (and such successor) the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in the defense of or other involvement in any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that, if and to the extent the DGCL requires, the payment of such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director or officer in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay all amounts so paid in advance if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 1 of this Article VIII or otherwise; and provided further, that, such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid in advance upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Board of Directors deems appropriate.

Section 2. Right of Claimant to Bring Action Against the Corporation. If a claim under Section 1 of this Article VIII is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring an action against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such action. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct that make it permissible under the DGCL for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed or is otherwise not entitled to indemnification under Section 1 of this Article VIII, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. The failure of the Corporation (in the manner provided under the DGCL) to have made a determination prior to or after the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL shall not be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. Unless otherwise specified in an agreement with the claimant, an actual determination by the Corporation (in the manner provided under the DGCL) after the commencement of such action that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct shall not be a defense to the

action, but shall create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct.

Section 3. Non-exclusivity. The rights to indemnification and advance payment of expenses provided by Section 1 of this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification and advance payment of expenses may be entitled under any By-Law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in his or her official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

Section 4. Survival of Indemnification. The indemnification and advance payment of expenses and rights thereto provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 1 of this Article VIII shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, partner or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the personal representatives, heirs, executors and administrators of such person.

Section 5. Insurance. The Corporation shall have power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, partner (limited or general) or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person or incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, and related expenses, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of the DGCL.

ARTICLE IX
AMENDMENTS

Section 1. Amendments. These By-Laws may be altered, amended or repealed, in whole or in part, or new By-Laws may be adopted by the stockholders or by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that notice of such alteration, amendment, repeal or adoption of new By-Laws be contained in the notice of such meeting of the stockholders or Board of Directors, as the case may be. All such amendments must be approved by either the holders of a majority of the outstanding capital stock entitled to vote thereon or by a majority of the entire Board of Directors then in office.

Section 2. Entire Board of Directors. As used in this Article IX and in these By-Laws generally, the term “entire Board of Directors” means the total number of directors which the Corporation would have if there were no vacancies.
