(iii) At the Effective Time, each charter of the Audit Committee, Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, Compensation Committee and Risk Committee shall be amended and restated to reflect the provisions and the powers and responsibilities customary for a committee of an Exchange-listed and ASX-listed company, in each case in a form reasonably acceptable to Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx.

ARTICLE III
EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE
CAPITAL STOCK OF JANUS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.1 Effect on Capital Stock of Janus

(a) Conversion of Janus Common Stock and the Merger Sub Common Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Janus or Merger Sub, or the holders of Janus Common Stock (or options thereon) or of any shares of Merger Sub:

(i) Each issued and outstanding share of Janus Common Stock (other than any shares of Janus Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 3.1(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive 4.7190 (the Exchange Ratio) validly issued, fully paid up Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares, together with cash in lieu of fractional Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares as specified below, without interest (the Merger Consideration). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Janus Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist. As of the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share (each as defined herein) representing any shares of Janus Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive, upon the surrender thereof, the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.2.

(ii) Each share of common stock of Merger Sub, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, in exchange for the cancellation of the shares of Merger Sub common stock and the provision of the aggregate Merger Consideration by Xxxxxxxxx, the Surviving Corporation shall issue an equivalent number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, all of which shares shall be held by Xxxxxxxxx, and which shall constitute the only outstanding shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation immediately following the Effective Time.

(b) Cancellation of Treasury Shares. Each share of Janus Common Stock then owned by Janus or any wholly-owned subsidiary of Janus (or held in the treasury of Janus) immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any stock/share split, reverse stock split, share consolidation, share subdivision, share bonus issue or stock/share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Janus Common Stock or Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of shares of Janus Common Stock or Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Treatment of the Janus Options and Janus Equity Awards.

(i) As of the Effective Time, each Janus Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall be converted (as converted, a Converted Stock Option), by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of that Janus Option, into an option exercisable for that number of Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Janus Common Stock for which such Janus Option was exercisable multiplied by (B) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole share. The exercise price per share of such Converted Stock Option shall be adjusted so that it is equal to (x) the exercise price per share of such Janus Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent; provided, however that the exercise price and the number of Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares purchasable pursuant to a Converted Stock Option shall be subject to such adjustments as may be necessary for the foregoing conversion to satisfy the requirements of Sections 409A, 422 and 424 of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) and Treasury Regulations Section 1.424-1.

(ii) As of the conversion pursuant to Section 3.1(d)(i), each Converted Stock Option shall be subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Janus Equity Plan and the option agreement pursuant to which the corresponding Janus Option was granted, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1(d)(i).

(iii) Each Janus RSU Award, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a Xxxxxxxxx restricted share unit award with respect to Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares on the terms and conditions (including any continuing vesting requirements) under the applicable plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the aggregate number of Xxxxxxxxx restricted share units held by each holder (rounded up to the nearest whole unit) determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Janus Common Stock subject to such Janus RSU

Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by the (B) Exchange Ratio.

(iv) Each Janus PSU Award, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a Xxxxxxxxx restricted share unit award with respect to Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares on the terms and conditions (including any continuing vesting requirements) under the applicable plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the aggregate number of Xxxxxxxxx restricted share units held by each holder (rounded up to the nearest whole unit) determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Janus Common Stock subject to such Janus PSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, each Janus PSU Award set forth on Section 3.1(d)(iv) of the Janus Disclosure Schedule (as defined herein), whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee of Janus, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a Xxxxxxxxx restricted share unit award with respect to Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares on the terms and conditions (including any continuing time-based vesting and/or performance based vesting conditions applicable in accordance with the terms of the award) under the applicable plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the aggregate number of Xxxxxxxxx restricted share units held by each holder (rounded up to the nearest whole unit) determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Janus Common Stock subject to such Janus PSU Award that are earned based on achievement of the applicable performance criteria as of (or approximate to) the Effective Time in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable award agreement by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

(v) Each Janus Restricted Share Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, as of the Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into a restricted Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Share award on the terms and conditions (including any continuing vesting requirements) under the applicable plan and award agreement in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the aggregate number of restricted Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares held by each holder (rounded up to the nearest whole share) determined by multiplying (A) the number of shares of Janus Common Stock subject to such Janus Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Exchange Ratio.

(vi) Effective as of the Effective Time, Xxxxxxxxx shall (A) assume the Janus Options, Janus Restricted Share Awards, Janus RSU Awards and Janus

PSU Awards that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the Janus Equity Awards) in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(d) and (B) for the purpose of complying with this Section 3.1(d)(vi), either (i) assume sponsorship of the relevant Janus Equity Plan, provided that references to Janus therein shall thereupon be deemed references to Xxxxxxxxx and references to Janus Common Stock therein shall be deemed references to Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares with appropriate equitable adjustments to reflect the Transactions or (ii) adopt a new equity plan on materially equivalent terms to the relevant Janus Equity Plan. Xxxxxxxxx shall take all necessary or appropriate actions to comply with the terms of Section 3.1(d), including seeking any necessary regulatory or shareholder approvals. Prior to the Effective Time, Janus shall deliver written notice to each holder of a Janus Equity Award informing such holder of the effect of the Merger on the Janus Equity Awards.

Prior to the Effective Time, Xxxxxxxxx or Merger Sub shall designate a bank, trust company or US or UK nationally recognized stockholder services provider reasonably acceptable to Janus (the Exchange Agent) for the purpose of exchanging, in accordance with this ARTICLE III, Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for the Merger Consideration. In addition, at or prior to the Effective Time, Xxxxxxxxx or Merger Sub shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of holders of shares of Janus Common Stock, (i) evidence of Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares representing the aggregate amount of Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares sufficient to deliver the Merger Consideration and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount equal to (1) an amount sufficient to pay any dividends under Section 3.2(c) plus (2) if applicable, an amount equal to such amount to be deposited with the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.2(e)(iv) (such Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares, together with any cash pursuant to Section 3.2(c) or Section 3.2(e), hereinafter, the Exchange Fund). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to pay any dividends under Section 3.2(c) and the net proceeds from the sale of the Excess Shares (as defined herein) (including pursuant to Section 3.2(e)(iv)), Xxxxxxxxx or Merger Sub shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment(s). The Exchange Agent shall deliver the Merger Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 3.1 out of the Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) Xxxxxxxxx shall instruct the Exchange Agent to, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days following the Effective Time, mail to each holder of record of a certificate (a Certificate) or book-entry share (a Book-Entry Share) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Janus Common Stock, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall 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) or Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent, and which shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx agree prior to the Effective Time) and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration, including any amount payable in respect of fractional

shares in accordance with Section 3.2(e) and any dividends or other distributions on Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 3.2(c). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Xxxxxxxxx, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration (which shall include cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 3.2(e)) that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE III and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or other distributions on Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 3.2(c). Xxxxxxxxx shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail such amounts to such holders within three (3) Business Days following the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of or, if applicable, paid to a person other than the person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration and, if applicable, payment of such Merger Consideration that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of such registration in the name of a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

(ii) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or other distributions on Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 3.2(c). No interest shall be paid or shall accrue for the benefit of holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(c) Dividends or Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to any Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 3.2(e), in each case

until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this ARTICLE III. Subject to the effect of Applicable Laws (as defined herein), following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share, there shall be paid to the holder of Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.2(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares.

(d) No Further Ownership Rights in Janus Common Stock. All Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE III shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Janus Common Stock, theretofore represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Janus Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Xxxxxxxxx or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE III, except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law.

(e) Fractional Shares.

(i) No certificates or scrip representing fractional Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of Janus Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares (after aggregating all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (in a US dollar amount), without interest, in an amount equal to such fraction as determined below. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (i) the number of full Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares delivered to the Exchange Agent by Xxxxxxxxx for issuance to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares over (ii) the aggregate number of full Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares to be distributed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (such excess being herein referred to as the Excess Shares). As soon as practicable

after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for such holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the Exchange, all in the manner provided herein.

(iii) The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on the Exchange and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such holders. The net proceeds of any such sale or sales of Excess Shares to be distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be reduced by any and all brokerage commissions, transfer Taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales. The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of such net proceeds to which each holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying (A) the amount of the aggregate net proceeds by (B) a fraction (1) the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares is entitled (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares then held by such holder) and (2) the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are entitled. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares with respect to any fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such holders subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.2(e).

(iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.2(e), Xxxxxxxxx may elect, at its option exercised prior to the Effective Time, to pay to the Exchange Agent an amount in cash in US dollars, to be deposited on the first Business Day following the Effective Time, sufficient for the Exchange Agent to pay each holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the fraction of a Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Share to which such holder would otherwise have been entitled by (B) the closing price for a Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Share on the Exchange on the first Business Day immediately following the Effective Time. In such event, all references in this Agreement to the net proceeds from the sale of the Excess Shares and similar references shall be deemed to refer to the payments calculated in the manner set forth in this Section 3.2(e)(iv).

(f) Return of Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.2(a) or any dividends or other distributions on Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares in accordance with Section 3.2(c) that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Xxxxxxxxx, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not

theretofore complied with this ARTICLE III shall thereafter be entitled to look only to Xxxxxxxxx for payment of their claim for any Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares, any cash in lieu of fractional Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares and any dividends or distributions with respect to Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares.

(g) No Liability. None of Janus, Henderson, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares, any cash in lieu of fractional Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares or any dividends or distributions with respect to Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity (as defined herein), any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Xxxxxxxxx, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto.

(h) Withholding Rights. Each of Xxxxxxxxx, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(i) 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, the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Janus Common Stock formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares, and unpaid dividends and distributions on Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

(iii) Xxxxxxxxx shall cooperate with Janus and its subsidiaries in taking the actions and obtaining the approvals described in Section 5.1(e)(i) and Section 5.1(e)(ii), and shall furnish to Janus, its subsidiaries and respective Representatives (as defined herein) such information and assistance as Janus, its subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may reasonably request in connection with seeking the Public Fund Board Approval and the Public Fund Shareholder Approval for each Janus Public Fund, including making the directors, officers and employees of Xxxxxxxxx and its subsidiaries reasonably available for presentations to such Janus Public Fund’s board of trustees and for assisting, at Janus’s, its subsidiaries’ or their respective Representatives’ request, in the preparation of the proxy statements, any presentations or other materials, or any communications to be made to such Janus Public Fund’s board of trustees in furtherance of taking the actions and obtaining the approvals described in Section 5.1(e)(i). Each party agrees that none of the information supplied by or on behalf of it in writing expressly for use in the proxy statement to be filed with the SEC in connection with obtaining the Public Fund Shareholder Approvals, as amended or supplemented by any amendment or supplement filed with the SEC, will, at the date it is first mailed to the shareholders of the Janus Public Funds or at the time of the shareholder meeting of the Janus Public Funds held to obtain the Public Fund Shareholder Approvals, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(iv) Xxxxxxxxx acknowledges that Janus is entering into this Agreement in reliance upon the benefits and protections provided by Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act. Xxxxxxxxx shall not take, and shall cause its Affiliates not to take, any action that would have the effect, directly or indirectly, of causing the requirements of any of the provisions of Section

15(f) of the Investment Company Act not to be met in respect of the Transactions, and shall not fail to take, and, after the Closing, shall cause its Affiliates not to fail to take, any action if the failure to take such action would have the effect, directly or indirectly, of causing the requirements of any of the provisions of Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act not to be met in respect of the Transactions. In that regard, Xxxxxxxxx shall conduct its business and shall cause each of its affiliates to conduct its business so as to assure that:

(A) for a period of not less than three years after the Closing, at least 75% of the members of the boards of trustees of each Janus Public Fund are not (I) “interested persons” (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act) of the investment adviser of such Janus Public Fund after the Closing or (II) “interested persons” (within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act) of the investment adviser of such Janus Public Fund immediately prior to the Closing; and

(B) for a period of not less than two years after the Closing, there shall not be imposed on any Janus Public Fund an “unfair burden” (as set forth and described in Section 15(f) of the Investment Company Act) as a result of the Transactions, or any express or implied terms, conditions or understandings applicable thereto.

(f) U.S. Public Fund Reorganizations.

(i) Each party shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to, cooperate with each other to consummate the reorganization (each, a Fund Reorganization) of the U.S. mutual funds sponsored by Xxxxxxxxx or its subsidiaries with the Janus Public Funds (each, a Reorganized Fund), as agreed between Janus and Xxxxxxxxx, as of the Effective Time (including the preparation and filing of the necessary registration statement and/or prospectus or proxy statement (each, a Prospectus/Proxy Statement)). In furtherance thereof, each party shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to: (A) as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, (1) seek the approval of the board of trustees of each Reorganized Fund (Fund Board Reorganization Approval) of the applicable Fund Reorganization and (2) to the extent that approval by shareholders of such Reorganized Fund is required, request the Reorganized Fund’s board of trustees to recommend approval of the applicable Fund Reorganization to the shareholders of the applicable Reorganized Fund and (B) to the extent that approval by shareholders of such Reorganized Fund is required, request the board of trustees of each Reorganized Fund to call a meeting of the shareholders of applicable Reorganized Fund for the purpose of voting on the approval of the Fund Reorganization for such Reorganized Fund (such shareholder meeting, a Fund Reorganization Shareholder Meeting), such meeting to

occur as soon as practicable, subject to the requirements of Applicable Law, following the date of this Agreement.

(ii) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the receipt of each Fund Board Reorganization Approval in Section 5.1(f)(i), each party shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to, request the board of trustees of each Reorganized Fund to: (A) with respect to each Reorganized Fund that is an acquiring fund, prepare and file the Prospectus/Proxy Statement for such Fund Reorganization; (B) to the extent that approval by shareholders of such Reorganized Fund is required, in accordance with Applicable Law cause a Prospectus/Proxy Statement to be mailed to the shareholders of the applicable Reorganized Fund as of the record date established by the Reorganized Fund’s board of trustees for such Fund Reorganization Shareholder Meeting; and (C) to the extent that approval by shareholders of such Reorganized Fund is required, duly call, convene and hold such Reorganized Fund’s Fund Reorganization Shareholder Meeting as promptly as reasonably practicable following the mailing of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. With respect to each Reorganized Fund for which approval by shareholders is required to implement a Fund Reorganization, each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to request the board of trustees of such Reorganized Fund to solicit from the shareholders of proxies in favor of the approval of its Fund Reorganization. Each of Janus and Xxxxxxxxx shall have the right to review in advance and to approve (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) all the information relating to it or its affiliates proposed to appear in (A) any Prospectus/Proxy Statement or any other proxy statements or materials or any amendment or supplement thereto submitted to the SEC or such other applicable Governmental Entity in connection with the approvals contemplated by this Section 5.1(f) or (B) any other materials sent or made available to shareholders of any Reorganized Fund in connection with such approvals.

(iii) Each party shall cooperate with the other party and its subsidiaries in taking the actions and obtaining the approvals described in Section 5.1(f) and shall furnish to each other, its subsidiaries and respective Representatives (as defined herein) such information and assistance as the other party, its subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may reasonably request in connection with seeking the approval described in this Section 5.1(f), including making directors, officers and employees of such party and its subsidiaries reasonably available for presentations to the Reorganized Fund’s board of trustees and for assisting, at the other party’s, its subsidiaries’ or their respective Representatives’ request, in the preparation of Prospectus/Proxy Statements or any other proxy statements or materials, any presentations or other materials, or any communications to be made to a Reorganized Fund’s board of trustees or shareholders or otherwise in furtherance of taking the actions and obtaining the approvals described in Section 5.1(f). Each party agrees that none of the information

supplied by or on behalf of it in writing expressly for use in (i) any registration statement to be filed with the SEC in connection with the Fund Reorganizations, as amended or supplemented by any amendment or supplement filed with the SEC, will, on its effective date, at the time of the applicable Fund Reorganization Shareholder Meeting and on the closing date of the applicable Fund Reorganization Shareholder Meeting contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; and (ii) in any Prospectus/Proxy Statement or any other proxy statement or materials to be filed with the SEC in connection with obtaining the approvals described in Section 5.1(f) will, at the date it is first mailed to the shareholders of the Reorganized Funds and at the time of the shareholder meeting of the Reorganized Funds held to obtain the approval by the shareholders of the Reorganized Funds of the Fund Reorganizations, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Section 5.2 No Solicitation by Janus

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including this Section 5.2), Janus shall not, shall not authorize or permit any of its controlled Affiliates or any of its or their officers, directors or employees to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative (a Representative) retained by it or any of its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through another person, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by furnishing information in connection with any inquiry or proposal with respect to a Janus Alternative Transaction (as defined herein)), or knowingly take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any proposal the consummation of which would constitute a Janus Alternative Transaction, (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any proposal the consummation of which would constitute a Janus Alternative Transaction, except to notify such person (or group of persons) as to the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.2, or (iii) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Janus Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of Janus determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of US or UK nationally recognized reputation) that any such proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.2(a) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Janus Superior Proposal (as defined herein), subject to compliance with Section 5.2(c), Janus and its Representatives may (A) furnish information with respect to Janus and its subsidiaries to the person (or group of persons) making such proposal (and its Representatives and financing sources) (provided that all such information has previously been provided to Xxxxxxxxx or is promptly provided to Xxxxxxxxx prior to or substantially concurrent with the time

it is provided to such person) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms as to confidentiality (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not include any “standstill” or other similar terms that prohibit the counterparty thereto or any of its Affiliates or Representatives from making any proposal for a Janus Alternative Transaction, acquiring Janus or taking any other similar action, but shall not prohibit Janus from providing information to Xxxxxxxxx prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such person, as provided above) that are generally no less restrictive to such person (or group of persons) than the terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated June 24, 2016, as amended, entered into between Janus and Xxxxxxxxx (the Confidentiality Agreement), and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such proposal with the person (or group of persons) making such proposal (and its Representatives and financing sources).

For purposes of this Agreement, Janus Alternative Transaction means any of (i) a transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which any person (or group of persons) other than Xxxxxxxxx or its subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) (such person (or group of persons), a Janus Third Party), acquires or would acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Janus Common Stock or securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 20% or more of the voting power of Janus, whether from Janus or pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer or otherwise, (ii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other transaction pursuant to which any Janus Third Party acquires or would acquire, directly or indirectly, assets or businesses of Janus or any of its subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the revenues, net income or assets (in each case on a consolidated basis) of Janus and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (iii) any disposition of assets to a Janus Third Party representing 20% or more of the revenues, net income or assets (in each case on a consolidated basis) of Janus and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) Except as permitted by this Section 5.2(b), neither the Board of Directors of Janus nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify, or fail to make, in each case in a manner adverse to Xxxxxxxxx, the approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of the Merger or this Agreement, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Janus Alternative Transaction (any action in clause (i) or this clause (ii) being referred to as a Janus Recommendation Change) (provided, that nothing herein shall restrict or otherwise limit Janus from making accurate disclosure to its stockholders of factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of Janus or, so long as Janus provides Xxxxxxxxx with reasonable advance notice and a copy of the proposed disclosure, the fact that a proposal the consummation of which would constitute a Janus Alternative Transaction has been made, the identity of the party making such proposal or the material terms of such proposal (and such disclosure shall not be deemed to be a Janus

Recommendation Change), so long as none of the disclosure through which such factual information is conveyed, individually or in the aggregate, is contrary to or materially inconsistent with, in any respects, the recommendation made by the Janus Board of Directors), or (iii) cause Janus or any of its controlled Affiliates to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement related to any Janus Alternative Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.2(a)). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that, prior to obtaining the Janus Stockholder Approval, the Board of Directors of Janus determines in good faith, after it has received a proposal that if consummated would be a Janus Superior Proposal (and after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of US or UK nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of Janus may (subject to compliance with this and the following sentences in this Section 5.2(b)) effect a Janus Recommendation Change from and after the day that is after the fourth Business Day following Xxxxxxxxx’x receipt of written notice from Janus advising Xxxxxxxxx that the Board of Directors of Janus has received a Janus Superior Proposal specifying the material terms and conditions of such Janus Superior Proposal, identifying the person making such Janus Superior Proposal and stating that it intends to make a Janus Recommendation Change; provided that in the event of a subsequent modification to the material terms and conditions of such Janus Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of Janus may only effect a Janus Recommendation Change after the later of (x) the fourth Business Day following Xxxxxxxxx’x receipt of the initial written notice advising Xxxxxxxxx of the Janus Superior Proposal and (y) the second Business Day following Xxxxxxxxx’x receipt of written notice from Janus advising Xxxxxxxxx of the modification to such terms and conditions; and provided further that during such four or two Business Day notice period, as applicable, Janus engages (to the extent requested by Xxxxxxxxx) in good faith negotiations with Xxxxxxxxx to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the proposal to enter into a Janus Alternative Transaction no longer constitutes a Janus Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, a Janus Superior Proposal means any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a Janus Third Party to enter into a Janus Alternative Transaction (with all references to 20% in the definition of Janus Alternative Transaction being treated as references to 50% for these purposes) that (A) did not result from a material breach of Section 5.2(a), (B) is on terms that the Board of Directors of Janus determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of US or UK nationally recognized reputation) to be superior, from a financial point of view, to Janus’s stockholders than the Transactions, taking into account all terms and conditions of such proposal (including any changes to this Agreement that may be proposed by Xxxxxxxxx in response to such proposal to enter into a Janus Alternative Transaction), and (C) the conditions to the consummation of which are reasonably capable of being satisfied and is otherwise reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such

proposal. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Janus Stockholder Approval, if the Board of Directors of Janus determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of US or UK nationally recognized reputation) that it is required to do so pursuant to its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of Janus may effect a Janus Recommendation Change, but only at a time that is after the fourth Business Day following Xxxxxxxxx’x receipt of written notice from Janus advising Xxxxxxxxx of all material information with respect to the basis for any such Janus Recommendation Change and stating that it intends to make a Janus Recommendation Change and providing its rationale therefor.

(c) In addition to the obligations of Janus set forth in Section 5.2(a) and Section 5.2(b), Janus shall promptly, and in any event within 24 hours of receipt thereof, advise Xxxxxxxxx orally and in writing of any request for substantive information or of any proposal relating to a Janus Alternative Transaction, the material terms and conditions of such request or proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making such request or proposal. Janus shall (i) keep Xxxxxxxxx reasonably informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or proposal on a current basis and (ii) provide to Xxxxxxxxx as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all material substantive correspondence and other material written materials exchanged between Janus or its subsidiaries or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any person making such request or proposal, on the other hand, in each case that describes in any material respect any of the material terms or conditions of any such request or proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit Janus or the Janus Board of Directors from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act pending disclosure of its position thereunder or (ii) otherwise complying with Applicable Law; provided, however, that any disclosure or statement that constitutes or contains a Janus Recommendation Change shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.2(b).

Section 5.3 No Solicitation by Xxxxxxxxx

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement (including this Section 5.3), Xxxxxxxxx shall not, shall not authorize or permit any of its controlled Affiliates or any of its or their officers, directors or employees to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any Representatives retained by it or any of its controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly through another person, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by furnishing information in connection with any inquiry or proposal with respect to a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction (as defined herein)), or knowingly take any other action designed to

facilitate, any inquiries regarding, or the making of, any proposal the consummation of which would constitute a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction, (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any proposal the consummation of which would constitute a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction, except to notify such person (or group of persons) as to the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.3, or (iii) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, if, at any time prior to obtaining the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder Approvals, the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of US or UK nationally recognized reputation) that any such proposal that did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.3(a) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to result in a Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal (as defined herein), subject to compliance with Section 5.3(c), Xxxxxxxxx and its Representatives may (A) furnish information with respect to Xxxxxxxxx and its subsidiaries to the person (or group of persons) making such proposal (and its Representatives and financing sources) (provided that all such information has previously been provided to Janus or is promptly provided to Janus prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such person) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement containing terms as to confidentiality (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not include any “standstill” or other similar terms that prohibit the counterparty thereto or any of its Affiliates or Representatives from making any proposal for a Janus Alternative Transaction, acquiring Janus or taking any other similar action, but shall not prohibit Xxxxxxxxx from providing information to Janus prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided to such person, as provided above) that are generally no less restrictive to such person (or group of persons) than the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such proposal with the person (or group of persons) making such proposal (and its Representatives and financing sources).

For purposes of this Agreement, Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction means any of (i) a transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which any person (or group of persons) other than Janus or its subsidiaries (such person (or group of persons), a Xxxxxxxxx Third Party), acquires or would acquire, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of more than 20% of the issued and outstanding Xxxxxxxxx Ordinary Shares or securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, such securities) representing 20% or more of the voting power of Xxxxxxxxx, whether from Xxxxxxxxx or pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer or otherwise, (ii) a merger, consolidation, share exchange or other transaction pursuant to which any Xxxxxxxxx Third Party acquires or would acquire, directly or indirectly, assets or businesses of Xxxxxxxxx or any of its subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the revenues, net income or assets (in each case on a consolidated basis) of Xxxxxxxxx and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or (iii) any disposition of assets to a Xxxxxxxxx Third Party representing 20% or more of the revenues, net income or assets (in each case on a consolidated basis) of Xxxxxxxxx and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

(b) Except as permitted by this Section 5.3(b), neither the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify, or fail to make, in each case in a manner adverse to Janus, the approval or recommendation by such Board of Directors or such committee of the Xxxxxxxxx Share Issuance, the Xxxxxxxxx Name Change, the Xxxxxxxxx Amended Articles, the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder De-listing Approval, the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder Permitted Xxxxxxxxx Dividend Approval or this Agreement, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose publicly to approve or recommend, any Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction (any action in clause (i) or this clause (ii) being referred to as a Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change) (provided, that nothing herein shall restrict or otherwise limit Xxxxxxxxx from making accurate disclosure to its stockholders of factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of Xxxxxxxxx or, so long as Xxxxxxxxx provides Janus with reasonable advance notice and a copy of the proposed disclosure, the fact that a proposal the consummation of which would constitute a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction has been made, the identity of the party making such proposal or the material terms of such proposal (and such disclosure shall not be deemed to be a Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change), so long as none of the disclosure through which such factual information is conveyed, individually or in the aggregate, is contrary to or materially inconsistent with, in any respects, the recommendation made by the Xxxxxxxxx Board of Directors), or (iii) cause Xxxxxxxxx or any of its controlled Affiliates to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other agreement related to any Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.3(a)). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, in the event that, prior to obtaining the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder Approvals, the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx determines in good faith, after it has received a proposal that if consummated would be a Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal (and after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of US or UK nationally recognized reputation) that the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx may (subject to compliance with this and the following sentences in this Section 5.3(b)) effect a Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change from and after the day that is after the fourth Business Day following Janus’s receipt of written notice from Xxxxxxxxx advising Janus that the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx has received a Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal specifying the material terms and conditions of such Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal, identifying the person making such Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal and stating that it intends to make a Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change; provided that in the event of a subsequent modification to the material terms and conditions of such Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal, the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx may only effect a Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change after the later of (x) the fourth Business Day following Janus’s receipt of the initial written notice advising Janus of the Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal and (y) the second Business Day following Janus’s receipt of written notice from Xxxxxxxxx advising Janus of the modification to such terms

and conditions; and provided further that during such four or two Business Day notice period, as applicable, Xxxxxxxxx engages (to the extent requested by Janus) in good faith negotiations with Janus to amend this Agreement in such a manner that the proposal to enter into a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction no longer constitutes a Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal. For purposes of this Agreement, a Xxxxxxxxx Superior Proposal means any bona fide written proposal (on its most recently amended or modified terms, if amended or modified) made by a Xxxxxxxxx Third Party to enter into a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction (with all references to 20% in the definition of Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction being treated as references to 50% for these purposes) that (A) did not result from a material breach of Section 5.3(a), (B) is on terms that the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of US or UK nationally recognized reputation) to be superior, from a financial point of view, to Xxxxxxxxx’x shareholders than the Transactions, taking into account all terms and conditions of such proposal (including any changes to this Agreement that may be proposed by Janus in response to such proposal to enter into a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction), and (C) the conditions to the consummation of which are reasonably capable of being satisfied and is otherwise reasonably likely to be consummated, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal. In addition, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to the receipt of the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder Approval, if the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and a financial advisor of US or UK nationally recognized reputation) that it is required to do so pursuant to its fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, the Board of Directors of Xxxxxxxxx may effect a Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change, but only at a time that is after the fourth Business Day following Janus’s receipt of written notice from Xxxxxxxxx advising Janus of all material information with respect to the basis for any such Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change and stating that it intends to make a Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change and providing its rationale therefor.

(c) In addition to the obligations of Xxxxxxxxx set forth in Section 5.3(a) and Section 5.3(b), Xxxxxxxxx shall promptly, and in any event within 24 hours of receipt thereof, advise Janus orally and in writing of any request for substantive information or of any proposal relating to a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction, the material terms and conditions of such request or proposal (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making such request or proposal. Xxxxxxxxx shall (i) keep Janus reasonably informed of the status and details (including amendments or proposed amendments) of any such request or proposal on a current basis and (ii) provide to Janus as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt or delivery thereof copies of all material substantive correspondence and other material written materials exchanged between Xxxxxxxxx or its subsidiaries (including Merger Sub) or any of their Representatives, on the one hand, and any person making such request or proposal, on the other hand, in each case that describes in any material respect any of the material terms or conditions of any such request or proposal.

(d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.3 shall prohibit Xxxxxxxxx or the Xxxxxxxxx Board of Directors from making any public announcement as referred to in Rule 2.3(d) of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers; provided, however, that any disclosure or statement that constitutes or contains a Xxxxxxxxx Recommendation Change shall be subject to the provisions of Section 5.3(b).

(e) The parties agree that if the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers determines that Section 5.3(b) requires Xxxxxxxxx to take or not to take action, whether as a direct obligation or as a condition to any other person’s obligation (however expressed), that is not permitted by Rule 21.2 of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers, that provision shall have no effect and shall be disregarded (it being agreed and understood that Xxxxxxxxx shall consult with Janus, to the extent reasonable practicable, in connection with any discussion with the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers relating to the foregoing). In the event that the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers makes a determination, the effect of which is that all or any portion of Section 5.3(b) has no effect or is otherwise disregarded, the parties agree that Section 5.2(b) shall be amended (without further action by the parties) to the same extent as Section 5.3(b).

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination; Termination Fee

(a) In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, and subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any of the parties, except (i) the provisions of this Section 8.2, the last sentence of Section 6.5, Section 6.8 and ARTICLE IX shall survive any such termination of this Agreement and no such termination shall relieve either party from any liability or obligation under such provisions and (ii) nothing contained herein shall relieve any party from liability for any Willful Breach hereof.

(b) If either Janus or Xxxxxxxxx terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii), within three (3) Business Days after such termination Janus shall pay or cause to be paid to Xxxxxxxxx an amount equal to Xxxxxxxxx’x actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of financial advisors, outside legal counsel, accountants, experts, consultants and other Representatives but excluding any amount of or in respect of VAT (as defined herein) that is recoverable by Xxxxxxxxx or a member of the same group for VAT purposes as Xxxxxxxxx) incurred by or on behalf of Xxxxxxxxx in connection with the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and the Transactions (the Xxxxxxxxx Expenses), such amount not to exceed $10,000,000 (the Expense Cap); provided that the payment by Janus of the Xxxxxxxxx Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall not relieve Janus of any subsequent obligation to pay the Janus Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.2(d) except to the extent indicated in such section (and the credit referred to below), and shall not relieve Janus from any liability for damages resulting from a Willful Breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or fraud. To the extent a Janus Termination Fee becomes payable, any payment previously made pursuant to this Section 8.2(b) shall be credited against such obligation of Janus to pay the Janus Termination Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, a termination of this Agreement by Janus or Xxxxxxxxx pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not relieve Xxxxxxxxx from any obligation to pay the Janus Expenses under Section 8.2(c) in the event that the Agreement is terminated at a time when Janus would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii).

(c) If either Xxxxxxxxx or Xxxxx terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii), within three (3) Business Days after such termination Xxxxxxxxx shall pay or cause to be paid to Janus an amount equal to Janus’s actual out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including fees and expenses of financial advisors, outside legal counsel, accountants, experts, consultants and other Representatives but excluding any amount of or in respect of VAT that is recoverable by Janus or a member of the same group for VAT purposes as Janus) incurred by or on behalf of Janus in connection with the authorization, preparation, negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement and the Transactions (the Janus Expenses and, together with the Xxxxxxxxx Expenses, the Expenses Reimbursement), such amount not to exceed the Expense Cap; provided that the payment by Xxxxxxxxx of the Janus Expenses pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) shall not relieve Xxxxxxxxx of any subsequent obligation to pay the Xxxxxxxxx Termination Fee pursuant to Section 8.2(e) except to the extent indicated in such section (and the credit referred to below), and shall not relieve Xxxxxxxxx from any liability for damages resulting from a Willful Breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement or fraud. To the extent a Xxxxxxxxx Termination Fee becomes payable, any payment previously made pursuant to this Section 8.2(c) shall be credited against such obligation of Xxxxxxxxx to pay the Xxxxxxxxx Termination Fee. For the avoidance of doubt, a termination of this Agreement by Janus or Xxxxxxxxx pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) shall not relieve Janus from any obligation to pay the Xxxxxxxxx

Expenses under Section 8.2(b) in the event that the Agreement is terminated at a time when Xxxxxxxxx would have been entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(ii).

(ii) by (A) Xxxxxxxxx or Xxxxx pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii) or (B) Janus pursuant to Section 8.1(d) and, in each case, if (and only if) (1) at or prior to the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholders Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii)) or at or prior to the time of the applicable breach by Xxxxxxxxx or Merger Sub) in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d)), there shall have been publicly made directly to the shareholders of Xxxxxxxxx generally, or there shall otherwise have become publicly known, or any person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make, an offer or proposal for a transaction that if consummated would constitute a Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction (provided that for the purpose of the definition of Xxxxxxxxx Qualifying Transaction in this Section 8.2, the term Xxxxxxxxx Alternative Transaction shall have the meaning assigned to the term in Section 5.3(a), except that all references to “20%” shall be deemed replaced with “50%”) (any such transaction made or announced at or prior to (x) the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholders Meeting (in the case of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii)), (y) the applicable breach (in the case of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(d)) or (z) the termination of this Agreement (in the case of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i)), a Xxxxxxxxx Qualifying Transaction), (2) such offer or proposal has not been withdrawn on or prior to the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholders Meeting (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(iii)) or on or prior to the time of breach by

Xxxxxxxxx (in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 8.1(d)) and (3) within 12 months of termination of this Agreement (I) Xxxxxxxxx or its subsidiaries enter into a definitive agreement with any Xxxxxxxxx Third Party with respect to any such Xxxxxxxxx Qualifying Transaction or (II) any such Xxxxxxxxx Qualifying Transaction is consummated, or

(iii) by Janus or Xxxxxxxxx pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i) because the Merger has not been consummated at or prior to the Outside Date if the Janus Stockholder Approval shall have been obtained prior to the Outside Date and if (and only if) (A) at or prior to the Outside Date there shall have been made to Xxxxxxxxx, or shall have been made directly to the shareholders of Xxxxxxxxx generally, or there shall otherwise have become publicly known, or any person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make, an offer or proposal for a transaction that would constitute a Xxxxxxxxx Qualifying Transaction (B) such offer or proposal has not been withdrawn on or prior to the Outside Date and (C) within 12 months of the Outside Date (1) Xxxxxxxxx or its subsidiaries enter into a definitive agreement with any Xxxxxxxxx Third Party with respect to any such Xxxxxxxxx Qualifying Transaction or (2) any such Xxxxxxxxx Qualifying Transaction is consummated,

then, in the case of a termination by Xxxxxxxxx pursuant to clause (e)(i), (e)(ii) or (e)(iii), Xxxxxxxxx shall pay to Janus, not later than (x) in the case of clause (e)(i), the date of termination of this Agreement, and (y) in the case of clauses (e)(ii) and (e)(iii), one Business Day after the earlier of the date the agreement referred to in clause (e)(ii)(3)(I) or clause (e)(iii)(C)(1) is entered into or the Xxxxxxxxx Qualifying Transaction referred to in clause (e)(ii)(3)(II) or clause (e)(iii)(C)(2) is consummated, a termination fee of $34,000,000 (the Xxxxxxxxx Termination Fee and, together with the Janus Termination Fee, the Termination Fees).

(f) Each Expenses Reimbursement payable under Section 8.2(b) and Section 8.2(c) and each Termination Fee payable under Section 8.2(d) and Section 8.2(e) shall be payable in immediately available funds no later than the applicable date set forth in Section 8.1(b), Section 8.1(c), Section 8.2(d) and Section 8.2(e). If a party fails to promptly pay to the other party any fee due under such Section 8.1(b), Section 8.2(c), Section 8.2(d) and Section 8.2(e), the defaulting party shall pay the costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) in connection with any action, including the filing of any lawsuit or other legal action, taken to collect payment.

(g) Each party agrees that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (other than with respect to claims for, or arising out of or in connection with, a Willful Breach hereof), (i) in the event that any Termination Fee is paid to a party in accordance with this Section 8.2, the payment of such Termination Fee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of such party, its subsidiaries, stockholders, Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and Representatives against the other party or any of its Representatives or Affiliates for, and (ii) in no event will the

party being paid any Termination Fee or any other such person seek to recover any other money damages or seek any other remedy based on a claim in law or equity with respect to, in each case of clauses (i) and (ii), (A) any loss suffered, directly or indirectly, as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated, (B) the termination of this Agreement, (C) any liabilities or obligations arising under this Agreement, or (D) any claims or actions arising out of or relating to any breach, termination or failure of or under this Agreement, and (iii) upon payment of any Termination Fee in accordance with this Section 8.2, no party nor any Affiliates or Representatives of any party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other party relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(h) The parties acknowledge and agree that the amount of the overall loss that Janus or Xxxxxxxxx may incur in the circumstances in which any Termination Fee is payable under this Section 8.2 is not possible to ascertain as at the date of this Agreement and that, as such, the Termination Fee represents a genuine estimate by the parties of the amount of the overall loss that Janus or Xxxxxxxxx (as the case may be) would incur in the circumstances in which a Termination Fee is payable to Janus or the Xxxxxxxxx. The parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to secure that any Expenses Reimbursement and any Termination Fee payable under this Section 8.2 (for the purposes of this Section 8.2(h) a Relevant Sum) will not be subject to any tax imposed in compliance with the Council Directive of 28 November 2006 on the common system of value added tax (EC Directive 2006/112) and any other tax of a similar nature whether imposed in a member state of the European Union in substitution for, or levied in addition to, such tax, or imposed elsewhere (VAT). However, if it is finally determined by a Taxing Authority or tribunal or court of competent jurisdiction that a Relevant Sum constitutes all or part of the consideration for a supply made for VAT purposes then if that VAT is held to be chargeable by the payor of the Relevant Sum (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the payor is a party) under the reverse charge mechanism, to the extent that any VAT so chargeable is not recoverable by such payor (or the representative member of the VAT group of which the payor is a member) by repayment or credit, the Relevant Sum shall be reduced so that the aggregate of the Relevant Sum and such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT equals the Relevant Sum that would have been paid had no such irrecoverable reverse charge VAT arisen. Such adjusting payment as may be required between the parties to give effect to this Section 8.2(h) shall be made five Business Days after the date on which the final determination has been communicated to the party required to make the payment (together with such evidence of it as it is reasonable in the circumstances to provide) or, if later five Business Days before the VAT is required to be accounted for. The party paying the Relevant Sum shall (or shall procure that the representative member of the VAT group of which such party is a member shall) use its reasonable endeavors to obtain any available repayment or credit in respect of VAT (as referred to in this Section 8.2(h)) and for the purposes of this Section

8.2(h) the extent of such repayment or credit shall be determined by such party, or the relevant representative member of the VAT group, acting reasonably.

Section 8.3 Amendment

Subject to compliance with Applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after the Janus Stockholder Approval or the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder Approvals; provided, however, that (a) after any such approval, there may not be, without further approval of the stockholders of Janus (in the case of the Janus Stockholder Approval) and the shareholders of Xxxxxxxxx (in the case of the Xxxxxxxxx Shareholder Approvals), any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered to the holders of Janus Common Stock hereunder or that by Applicable Law otherwise expressly requires the further approval of the stockholders of Janus or shareholders of Xxxxxxxxx, as the case may be, and (b) except as provided above, no amendment of this Agreement shall be submitted to be approved by the stockholders of Janus or the shareholders of Xxxxxxxxx. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto and duly approved by the parties’ respective Boards of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

Section 8.4 Extension; Waiver

At any time prior to the Effective Time, a party hereto may, subject to the proviso of Section 8.3 (and for this purpose treating any waiver referred to below as an amendment), (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other parties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, (c) waive compliance by the other party with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement or (d) waive the satisfaction of any of the conditions contained in this Agreement. No extension or waiver by Janus or Xxxxxxxxx shall require the approval of the stockholders of Janus or the shareholders of Xxxxxxxxx, respectively, unless such approval is required by Applicable Law. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Any extension or waiver given in compliance with this Section 8.4 or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

ARTICLE IX
GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Nonsurvival of Representations and Warranties

None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any instrument or certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time. This Section 9.1 shall not limit Section 8.2(a) or any covenant or agreement of the parties that,

by its terms, contemplates performance after the Effective Time or after the termination of this Agreement.
