Article I
THE MERGER

Section 1.1 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, at the Effective Time (as defined below), Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, with the Company surviving the Merger as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”), such that following the Merger, the Surviving Corporation will be a direct, wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent. The Merger shall have the effects provided in this Agreement and as specified in the DGCL.

Section 1.2 Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place by the electronic exchange of documents on the third (3rd) Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) of the last of the conditions set forth in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at or immediately prior to the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or at such other place, date and time as the Company and Parent may agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

Section 1.3Effective Time. As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the Parties shall cause a certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be duly executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Secretary”) as provided under the DGCL and make any other filings, recordings or publications required to be made by the Company or Merger Sub under the DGCL in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary or on such later date and time as shall be agreed to by the Company and Parent and specified in the Certificate of Merger (such date and time being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

3

Section 1.4Effects of the Merger. The effects of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation, all as provided under the DGCL.

Section 1.5Organizational Documents of the Surviving Corporation.

(a)At the Effective Time, the Company Certificate (as defined below), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in Exhibit B until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law (but subject to Section 5.10).

(b)The Parties shall take all necessary action such that, at the Effective Time, the Company Bylaws (as defined below), as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be amended and restated in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit C until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law (but subject to Section 5.10).

Section 1.6Directors. Immediately prior to, but conditioned on the occurrence of, the Effective Time, each of the directors of the Company Board of Directors shall resign as a director of the Company with effect as of the Effective Time, and the Parties shall take all necessary action such that the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation as of the Effective Time and shall hold office until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Section 1.7Officers. The Parties shall take all necessary action such that the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation from and as of the Effective Time and shall hold such offices until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, or their earlier death, resignation or removal.

Article II
CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1Effect on Capital Stock.

(a)At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any of the Parties or the holder of any shares of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub Common Stock:

(i)Conversion of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Rollover Shares, any Cancelled Shares (as defined below) and any Dissenting Shares (as defined below)) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive AU$0.87 in cash, without interest (the “Transaction Consideration”). From and after the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding, and each applicable holder of such shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Transaction Consideration upon the surrender of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 2.2.

4

(ii)Cancellation of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock that immediately prior to the Effective Time (x) is held in the treasury of the Company, (y) is owned or is represented by Company CDIs owned by Parent (including any Rollover Shares) or any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (including Merger Sub), or (z) is to be treated as otherwise agreed to in writing before the Effective Time between Parent or its Affiliates and the holder thereof, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist (such shares described in the foregoing clauses (x), (y) and (z), the “Cancelled Shares”), and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(iii)Treatment of Merger Sub Shares. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Stock”) shall be automatically converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, any certificates representing shares of Merger Sub Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

All of the shares of Company Common Stock converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration pursuant to this Article II shall no longer be outstanding and upon the conversion thereof shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time, and uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock represented by book-entry form (“Book-Entry Shares”) and each certificate that, immediately prior to the Effective Time, represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Transaction Consideration into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Book-Entry Share or Certificate, as applicable, have been converted pursuant to this Section 2.1(a).

(b)Shares of Dissenting Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Person (a “Dissenting Stockholder”) who has not voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and who has complied with all the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL concerning the right of holders of shares of Company Common Stock to demand appraisal of their shares (the “Appraisal Provisions”) of Company Common Stock, and may include shares of Company Common Stock held by the Depositary in respect of which (i) no vote in favor of adoption of this Agreement was cast by the Depositary and (ii) all actions have been taken by or on behalf of the beneficial owner of such shares to properly exercise the dissenters’ rights in accordance with the DGCL (whether directly on instruction of a holder of Company CDIs or by a Person, including a holder of Company CDIs, as proxy for the Depositary) (“Dissenting Shares”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration as described in Section 2.1(a)(i), but such holder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 262 of the DGCL. To the extent such Dissenting Stockholder, whether before, at or after the Effective Time, effectively withdraws its demand for appraisal with respect to one or more shares of Company Common Stock or fails to perfect or otherwise loses its right of appraisal, in any case pursuant to the DGCL, each of such Dissenting Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock so withdrawn or with respect to which there is a loss or failure to perfect rights of appraisal shall thereupon be treated as though such shares of Company Common Stock had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(i) and such shares shall not be deemed to be Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and shall give Parent the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make any payment to any Dissenting Stockholder with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, or approve the withdrawal of, any such demands. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.1(b), a holder of shares of Company Common Stock shall include a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Section 262 of the DGCL) to the extent, and solely to the extent, such a beneficial owner is permitted to demand and perfect an appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Appraisal Provisions.

5

(c)Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock or Company CDIs shall occur as a result of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or similar event, or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares or any stock dividend or distribution with a record date during such period, the Transaction Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event. Nothing in this Section 2.1(c) shall be construed to permit any Party to take any action that is otherwise prohibited or restricted by any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 2.2Exchange of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.

(a)Appointment of Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company (which bank or trust company shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company) to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment of the Transaction Consideration in the Merger in accordance with this Section 2.2 and shall enter into an agreement relating to the Paying Agent’s responsibilities under this Agreement, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

(b)Deposit of Transaction Consideration. Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, prior to or concurrently with the Effective Time, cash in Australian dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Transaction Consideration payable in the Merger to holders of Company Common Stock, other than Rollover Shares, Cancelled Shares and Dissenting Shares (such cash, the “Payment Fund”); provided, that the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at the written request of Parent, deposit with the Paying Agent at the Closing such portion of the aggregate Transaction Consideration from the Company Cash on Hand as specified in such request.

6

(c)Exchange Procedures.

(i)Depositary Shares. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall establish procedures to ensure that: (A) the Company delivers and surrenders to the Paying Agent, before the Effective Time, the Certificate representing the Depositary Shares (provided; if the Effective Time does not occur, the Company will be entitled to the return of the Certificate), (B) the Paying Agent holds, or is provided with, a register of Company CDI holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including sufficient information for the Paying Agent to make payment to such Company CDI holders of the Transaction Consideration promptly following the Effective Time pursuant to the direction set forth in Section 2.2(c)(i)(F); (C) the Company requests ASX to suspend trading of the Company CDIs promptly after the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals have been obtained and so that there are at least two (2) days on which settlement occurs on ASX prior to the Effective Time; (D) the Paying Agent holds, or is provided with a copy of, the register of Company Common Stock identifying the number of Depositary Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and that number is equal to the number of Company CDIs on issue at that time; (E) provided the Effective Time occurs, the Company, as attorney for the Depositary under Rule 13.5.8 of the ASX Settlement Operating Rules, directs the Paying Agent to pay the Transaction Consideration in respect of Depositary Shares (excluding the Rollover Shares and Cancelled Shares) to the holders of Company CDIs issued over those Depositary Shares as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (and not to the Depositary) as provided for in Rules 13.6.1 and 13.6.7(c) of the ASX Settlement Operating Rules; (F) promptly following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent makes payment of the Transaction Consideration, without interest, to the holders of Company CDIs as of the Effective Time for each Company CDI held by such holders pursuant to the direction set forth in Section 2.2(c)(i)(E); and (G) promptly following the Effective Time, the Paying Agent reduces, as of the Effective Time, all holdings of Company CDIs to zero, thereby cancelling those Company CDIs which shall cease to exist as at the Effective Time.

(ii)Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of shares of a Certificate (excluding Certificates representing the Depositary Shares which are to be surrendered to the Paying Agent prior to the Effective Time in accordance with Section 2.2(c)(i)(A)) (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (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 to the Paying Agent and shall otherwise be in such form and contain such provisions as are customary and reasonably acceptable to the Company) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates in exchange for the payment of the Transaction Consideration payable in the Merger.

(iii)Book-Entry Shares. Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Book-Entry Shares (A) a Letter of Transmittal and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Book-Entry Shares in exchange for payment of the Transaction Consideration payable in the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no holder of Book-Entry Shares shall be required to deliver a Certificate to the Paying Agent to receive the Transaction Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II.

7

(iv)Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to make, and the Paying Agent shall make, delivery of the Transaction Consideration out of the Payment Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Payment Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.

(d)Surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. Other than in respect of the Depositary Shares, upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Transaction Consideration. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer or stock records of the Company, any cash to be paid upon due surrender of the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share formerly representing such shares of Company Common Stock may be paid or issued, as the case may be, to such a transferee if such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the Transaction Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Transaction Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent to receive the Transaction Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article II. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted into the right to receive the Transaction Consideration shall, upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” in customary form (or such other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to exchange and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Transaction Consideration in respect of each such share of Company Common Stock, and the Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled.

(e)No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Transaction Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II upon conversion of any shares of Company Common Stock and cancellation of any underlying Company CDIs shall be deemed to have been delivered and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, (i) all holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Transaction Consideration into which the shares represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement upon the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 2.2(d), without interest, and (ii) the stock transfer books of the Company and the Company CDI register shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock and Company CDIs outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company and the Company CDI register shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of transfers of shares of Company Common Stock, and no further registration of any transfer on the Company CDI register of Company CDIs, that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares formerly representing shares of Company Common Stock are presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for any reason, such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

(f)Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided, 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 Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or in money market funds having a rating in the highest investment category granted by a recognized credit rating agency at the time of investment. No such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article II, and following any losses from any such investment, or to the extent the Payment Fund otherwise diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Paying Agent to make payments pursuant to this Article II, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Common Stock at the Effective Time in the amount of such losses or other shortfall (and add or cause the Company to add sufficient cash to the Payment Fund in the event Dissenting Shares lose their status as such in accordance with the second sentence of Section 2.1(b)), which additional funds will be deemed to be part of the Payment Fund. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Payment Fund, and any cash amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 2.1 shall be promptly returned to Parent.

(g)Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest or other amounts received with respect thereto) that remains unclaimed by, or otherwise undistributed to, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares for twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon Parent’s demand, and any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to Parent or the Surviving Corporation for satisfaction of its claim for Transaction Consideration which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Article II.

(h)No Liability. None of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Payment Fund or the Transaction Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any cash in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such cash in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

9

(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, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, Parent, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as Parent, the Depositary or the Paying Agent may reasonably require as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Payment Fund and subject to Section 2.2(g), Parent) shall deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Transaction Consideration and any dividends and distributions deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to this Agreement had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered.

Section 2.3Company Equity Awards. Except as otherwise agreed by Parent and an individual holder of Company Equity Awards (as defined below) or as set forth in Section 3.2(b)(iii) of the Company Disclosure Letter:

(a)Company RSU Awards.

(i)Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted stock unit in respect of Company Common Stock (a “Company RSU”) that is outstanding and vested at such time (each, a “Vested RSU”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be canceled and converted into the right to receive (without interest), at the time set forth in Section 2.3(d) (or such later time as required to avoid imposition of additional Taxes under Section 409A of the Code), an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested RSU multiplied by (y) the Transaction Consideration, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment.

(ii)Each Company RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is not a Vested RSU (each an “Unvested RSU”) shall be cancelled and replaced with a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such award of Unvested RSUs as of immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Transaction Consideration (the “Cash Replacement RSU Amounts”). The Cash Replacement RSU Amounts will, subject to the holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates through the applicable vesting dates, vest and be payable at the same time as the Unvested RSU for which such Cash Replacement RSU Amounts were exchanged would have vested pursuant to its terms. All Cash Replacement RSU Amounts will have substantially the same terms and conditions, including, with respect to vesting as applied to the Unvested RSU for which they were exchanged, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the Transactions or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Cash Replacement RSU Amounts.

10

(b)Company Stock Options. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Option” and, together with the Company RSUs, the “Company Equity Awards”), to the extent then unexercised, shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, become immediately vested and be cancelled and shall only entitle the holder of such Company Option to receive (without interest), an amount in cash equal to (x) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option multiplied by (y) the excess, if any, of the Transaction Consideration over the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock under such Company Option, less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment. For the avoidance of doubt, any Company Option which has a per share exercise price that is greater than or equal to the Transaction Consideration shall be cancelled at the Effective Time for no consideration or payment and shall be of no further force or effect.

(c)Company Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board of Directors or the appropriate committee thereof, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions (excluding the payment of additional compensation in excess of the amounts provided for in this Section 2.3) which are reasonably necessary to terminate the Company Stock Plan (effective as of, and contingent upon, the Effective Time) and effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.3, including using reasonable best efforts to obtain any required consents.

(d)Payment for Company Equity Awards. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the Closing Date, the applicable former holders of Company Options and Vested RSUs will receive a payment from the Surviving Corporation, through its payroll system or payroll provider, of all amounts required to be paid to such former holders in respect of Company Options and Vested RSUs that were cancelled and converted pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i) or Section 2.3(b), as applicable (after giving effect to any required Tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment owed to a holder of Company Equity Awards cannot be made through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll system or payroll provider, then the Surviving Corporation will issue a check for such payment to such holder (less applicable withholding Taxes), which check will be sent by courier to such holder promptly following the Closing Date (but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter).

Section 2.4Tax Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Depositary and the Paying Agent (and each of their respective agents or Affiliates) (without duplication) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Law. Any amounts so deducted or withheld and timely paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Other than in the case of withholding with respect to amounts constituting compensation income for U.S. federal income tax purposes (it being understood that no payment in exchange for Company Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute compensation income), the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the applicable Person and the Representative to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through providing such Person with an opportunity to provide any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).

Assuming the Debt Financing is funded in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and assuming satisfaction of all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI, the aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing, along with the Company Cash on Hand, will be sufficient to fund (i) the payment of the aggregate Transaction Consideration for the acquisition or conversion of all shares of Company Common Stock (other than the Cancelled Shares) pursuant to the Merger (assuming no Dissenting Shares) and all consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement in respect of Company Equity Awards, and (ii) the payment of all fees and expenses required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub at Closing in connection with the Transactions (such amount, the “Required Funding Amount”). As of the date hereof, the commitment contained in the Credit Agreement has not been withdrawn, modified or rescinded in any respect. As of the date hereof, the Credit Agreement is in full force and effect against Parent or an indirect parent of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each other party thereto and represents valid, binding and enforceable obligations of Parent and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each other party thereto (subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception).

As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2, Parent has no reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis any applicable Debt Financing Condition on or prior to Closing Date.

As used in this Section 4.12, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on such date, (a) Parent and Merger Sub, and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries, each are able to pay their respective Indebtedness and other liabilities, contingent or otherwise, as the Indebtedness and other liabilities become due in the usual course of business, (b) each of Parent and Merger Sub and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries have total assets not less than the sum of such entity’s total liabilities and (c) each of Parent and Merger Sub and, after the Merger, Parent and the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries has sufficient capital and liquidity with which to conduct its business.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement (and in any event no later than, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement) (i) the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file the Proxy Statement with the ASX and the SEC in preliminary form, and (ii) the Company and Parent shall use reasonable best efforts to jointly prepare and file the Schedule 13E-3. Each of the Company and Parent shall furnish all information concerning itself and its Affiliates that is required to be included in the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 or that is customarily included in proxy statements or Rule 13E-3 transaction statements prepared in connection with transactions of the type contemplated by this Agreement and shall ensure that the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3 complies in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable Laws.

40

(b)The Company shall promptly notify Parent of the receipt of any comments from the SEC staff and of any request by the SEC staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 or any request from the SEC staff for additional information, and shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC staff, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3. If the Company receives comments from the SEC staff on the preliminary Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, (i) each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to such comments or any request from the SEC staff for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, (ii) each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the SEC advise the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable that the SEC has no further comments on the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3, and (iii) the Company shall file the Proxy Statement in definitive form with the ASX and the SEC and cause the definitive Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in no event more than five (5) Business Days, following confirmation from the SEC that it has completed its review of the Proxy Statement. If the SEC confirms it will not review the Proxy Statement, which confirmation will be deemed to have occurred if the SEC has not affirmatively notified the Company by 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the tenth (10th) calendar day following such filing with the SEC, the Company shall file the Proxy Statement in definitive form with the SEC and cause the definitive Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 to be mailed to the stockholders of the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in no event more than five (5) Business Days, following such confirmation from the SEC that it will not review the Proxy Statement. Except in the case of a filing, amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3 solely to the extent relating to a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or any dispute between the Parties regarding this Agreement, the Merger or the other Transactions, no filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 or any response to any comment from the SEC with respect thereto shall be made by the Company, without providing Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon (it being understood that Parent and its counsel shall provide any comments thereon as promptly as reasonably practicable) and considering any such comments in good faith.

(c) If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, so that such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the ASX and the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company.

41

(d)Unless a Company Adverse Recommendation Change has been made in accordance with Section 5.5, the Company shall include the Special Committee Recommendation and the Company Board Recommendation in any iteration of the Proxy Statement filed in preliminary form and the Proxy Statement filed in definitive form.

Section 5.4 Stockholders Meeting; Company Board Recommendation. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC advises that it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3 or that the Company may commence mailing the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3, the Company, acting through the Company Board of Directors or any committee thereof, and in accordance with applicable Law, the Company Organizational Documents, the ASX Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules, shall, subject to Section 5.5, use its reasonable best efforts to establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of the stockholders of the Company (which shall in no event be scheduled for later than the fortieth (40th) day following the first mailing of the Proxy Statement to the stockholders of the Company) for the purpose of seeking the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals (the “Company Stockholder Meeting”) and shall, unless a Company Adverse Recommendation Change has been made, use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies from the stockholders of the Company and obtain the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals; provided, however, that the Company (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) shall be permitted to adjourn, delay or postpone convening the Company Stockholder Meeting from time to time (a) with the consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (b) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at such Company Stockholder Meeting, (c) if as of the time for which the Company Stockholder Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient shares of Company Common Stock with respect to which proxies have been submitted to vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement to obtain either the Company Stockholder Approval or the Company Unaffiliated Stockholder Approval, (d) if in the good faith judgment of the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee after consultation with its outside legal advisors) failure to adjourn, delay or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board of Directors (or the Special Committee) under applicable Law, or (e) if in the good faith judgment of the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee after consultation with its independent legal advisors), additional time is necessary for the filing and mailing of any supplemental or additional disclosure reasonably likely to be necessary or appropriate under applicable Law to be disseminated and reviewed by the stockholders of the Company prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting. In furtherance of the foregoing, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Company shall, in consultation with Parent, conduct a “broker search” in accordance with Rule 14a-13 of the Exchange Act and take all action necessary to establish a record date for the Company Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company may adjourn or postpone the Company Stockholder Meeting to a date no later than the third (3^rd) Business Day after the expiration of the notice periods contemplated by Section 5.5(f). Notwithstanding any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the obligations of the Company under this Section 5.4 shall continue in full force and effect. Without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals, the stockholder advisory vote contemplated by Rule 14a-21(c) under the Exchange Act, and adjournment shall be the only matters (other than procedural matters) which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the holders of Company Common Stock at the Company Stockholder Meeting.

42

Section 5.5No Solicitation.

(a)Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 5.5, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and the respective directors and officers of the Company and each wholly owned Subsidiary to, and shall instruct and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the other Representatives of the Company and its Subsidiaries to: (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated any solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any Persons (other than Parent and its Representatives) that are ongoing with respect to a Company Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, discussion or request that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Takeover Proposal, and (ii) promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the date hereof) request in writing that any third party that has previously executed a confidentiality or similar agreement with respect to a Company Takeover Proposal promptly return to the Company or destroy all non-public information previously furnished to such third party or any of its Representatives by or on behalf of the Company or its Representatives in accordance with the terms of such agreement and (iii) not, directly or indirectly through intermediaries, (A) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Takeover Proposal, (B) conduct, engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any other Person any information in connection with, or for the purpose of knowingly encouraging, a Company Takeover Proposal (other than, solely in response to an unsolicited inquiry, to refer the inquiring Person to this Section 5.5), (C) execute or enter into any binding letter of intent, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement or similar Contract (whether written, oral, binding or non-binding) with respect to a Company Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) or (D) grant any waiver, amendment or release (to the extent not automatically waived, amended or released upon announcement of, or entering into, this Agreement) of any third party under any standstill or confidentiality agreement; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be permitted to grant a waiver of any “standstill” or similar obligation of any third party with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to allow such third party to make a Company Takeover Proposal. None of the foregoing shall prohibit the Company or its Representatives from contacting any Person or group of Persons that has made a Company Takeover Proposal after the date hereof solely to ascertain the facts or request the clarification of the terms and conditions thereof so as to determine whether the Company Takeover Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expect to lead to a Company Superior Proposal or to request that any Company Takeover Proposal made orally be in writing, and any such actions shall not be a breach of this Section 5.5.

43

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if, at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals, the Company or any of its Representatives receives a bona fide, written Company Takeover Proposal from any Person, which did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.5, and if the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such Company Takeover Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal and that the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may, (i) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person who has made such Company Takeover Proposal, including non-public information, if the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement containing terms that are not materially less restrictive in the aggregate to the other party than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement (it being understood and agreed that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a standstill provision or otherwise prohibit the making or amendment or modification of a Company Takeover Proposal) (such confidentiality agreement, an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”); provided, that the Company shall promptly, and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours following the delivery to such Person, make available to Parent any non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided or made available to such Person or its Representatives unless such non-public information has been previously provided to or made available to Parent and (ii) engage in or otherwise participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Company Takeover Proposal, its Representatives and any prospective debt and equity financing sources regarding such Company Takeover Proposal. In addition to the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 5.5(c), the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent and Merger Sub if the Company commences furnishing non-public information or commences discussions or negotiations as provided in this Section 5.5(b).

(c)The Company shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt) notify Parent in writing in the event that the Company or any of its Representatives receives a Company Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or request that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Company Takeover Proposal, including the identity of the Person making the Company Takeover Proposal or such inquiry, proposal or request and the material terms and conditions thereof (including, if applicable, copies of any written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed term sheets and agreements relating thereto). The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a prompt basis (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt), regarding any material changes to the status and material terms of any such Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry, proposal or offer (and shall provide Parent with a copy of any written documents or agreements delivered to the Company or its Representatives that contain any material amendments thereto or any material change to the scope or material terms or conditions thereof (or, if not delivered in writing, a summary of any such material amendments or material changes)). The Company agrees that it and its Subsidiaries will not enter into any agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with, or otherwise complying with, this Section 5.5.

44

(d) Except as permitted by this Section 5.5, the Company Board of Directors shall not (i)(A) fail to include the Special Committee Recommendation and the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement when disseminated to the Company’s stockholders, (B) withhold, withdraw or modify (or authorize or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or modify), in any such case in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, (C) publicly make any recommendation in support of a tender offer or exchange offer that constitutes a Company Takeover Proposal or fail to recommend against any such tender offer or exchange offer, (D) publicly adopt, approve or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve or recommend, to stockholders of the Company a Company Takeover Proposal or (E) fail to publicly recommend against any Company Takeover Proposal or fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation, in each case, within five (5) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing following a publicly announced Company Takeover Proposal, provided, that Parent may only make such request once with respect to any particular Company Takeover Proposal or any material publicly announced or disclosed amendment or modification thereto (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) authorize, cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any binding letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or agreement (including an acquisition agreement, merger agreement, joint venture agreement or other agreement) with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) (a “Company Acquisition Agreement”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, prior to, but not after, obtaining the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals, the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may, in respect of a Company Superior Proposal, either or both (1) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change or (2) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1(f) in order to enter into a definitive agreement for such Company Superior Proposal (in each case, if and only if, prior to taking such action, the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law); provided, however, that, prior to taking either such action, (w) the Company has given Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, including the terms and conditions of and the basis for such action, and the identity of the Person making, any such Company Superior Proposal and has contemporaneously provided with such notice to Parent a copy of the Company Superior Proposal or any proposed Company Acquisition Agreements (or if not provided in writing to the Company, a written summary of the terms thereof) and a summary of any related financing commitments in the Company’s possession, (x) to the extent requested in writing by Parent, the Company (acting through the Special Committee) has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such four (4) Business Day period concerning any revisions to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent, and (y) following the end of such four (4) Business Days’ notice period, the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee shall have determined, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, and giving due consideration to the revisions to the terms of this Agreement to which Parent has committed in writing, that the Company Superior Proposal would nevertheless continue to constitute a Company Superior Proposal (assuming the revisions committed to by Parent in writing were to be given effect), and (z) in the event of any change to any of the financial terms (including the form, amount and timing of payment of consideration) or any other material terms of such Company Superior Proposal, the Company shall, in each case, have delivered to Parent an additional notice consistent with that described in clause (w) above of this proviso and a new notice period under clause (w) of this proviso shall commence (except that the four (4) Business Day notice period referred to above shall instead be equal to two (2) Business Days) during which time the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.5(e) anew with respect to such additional notice, including clauses (w) through (z) above of this proviso. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms and the Company Termination Fee has been paid in the manner provided in Section 7.3.

45

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, other than in connection with a Company Takeover Proposal, the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may, at any time prior to, but not after, obtaining the Requisite Company Stockholder Approvals, make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if, prior to taking such action, the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, provided, however, that, prior to taking such action, (i) the Company has given Parent at least four (4) Business Days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action, and specifying in reasonable detail the Intervening Event and the potential reasons that the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee is proposing to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, (ii) to the extent requested in writing by Parent, the Company (acting through the Special Committee) has negotiated, and has caused its Representatives to negotiate, in good faith with Parent during such four (4) Business Day period to enable Parent to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement such that it would cause the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee not to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change, and (iii) following the end of such four (4) Business Days period, the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee shall have considered in good faith any revisions to the terms of this Agreement to which Parent has committed in writing, and shall have determined, after consultation with its outside legal counsel (assuming the revisions committed to by Parent in writing were to be given effect), that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(g) Nothing contained in this Section 5.5 shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee from complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Laws, the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or any United States federal or state Law with regard to a Company Takeover Proposal, including (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation MA promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act if, in either case, the Company Board of Directors (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee, as applicable, determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel (which shall include the Special Committee’s outside legal counsel), that the failure to do so is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law or obligations of the Company or the Company Board of Directors or the Special Committee, as applicable, under applicable federal securities Law; provided, however, that this Section 5.5(g) shall not permit the Company Board of Directors to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change except to the extent otherwise permitted by this Section 5.5.

46

(h) For purposes of this Section 5.5, the Company shall not be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by, or directly caused by, the Persons set out in Section 5.5 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

Section 5.6 Employee Matters.

(a) Until the first anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if earlier, the termination date of the applicable Continuing Employee) (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), the Surviving Corporation shall provide, or cause to be provided, for those employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing who continue as employees of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries immediately following the Closing (the “Continuing Employees”), during all or a portion of the Benefits Continuation Period, (i) base salary or hourly wages and (ii) employee benefits (excluding any defined benefit pension, equity or equity-based, transaction, retention, severance, change in control, nonqualified deferred compensation, or retiree or post-employment health or welfare benefits (collectively, the “Excluded Benefits”)) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to each such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time under the Company Benefit Plans listed under Section 3.14(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter (subject to the same exclusions). Nothing herein shall be deemed to be a guarantee of employment, or any particular terms or conditions of employment, for any current or former employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or other than as provided in any applicable employment agreement or other Contract, to restrict the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to terminate the employment of any such employee.

(b) The Surviving Corporation shall, for the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive, or cause to be waived, any applicable pre-existing condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements in any replacement or successor welfare benefit plan of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates in which a Continuing Employee is eligible to participate following the Effective Time to the extent such exclusions or waiting periods were inapplicable to, or had been satisfied by, such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time under the analogous Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) provide, or cause to be provided, each Continuing Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid for the plan year that includes the Closing Date under the Company Benefit Plans that are group health plans for purposes of satisfying the corresponding deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under the Surviving Corporation’s group health plans, and (iii) recognize, or cause to be recognized, service prior to the Effective Time with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting (for the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to equity or equity-based awards), and determination of level of benefits to the same extent such service was recognized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the analogous Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that such service crediting shall not apply to the extent it results in a duplication of benefits, compensation or coverage for the same period of service or for any purpose under any Excluded Benefit.

47

(c) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall honor, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to honor, in accordance with its terms as in effect at the Effective Time, each employment and change in control policy or agreement of or between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any current or former officer, director or employee, including those identified in Section 5.6(c) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

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

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement, whether express or implied, (i) shall be treated as an establishment, amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan program, policy, agreement or arrangement, (ii) shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any Person in respect of continued employment by the Company, Parent, any of their respective Affiliates or otherwise, or (iii) subject to the requirements of this Section 5.6, shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing Date, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) to amend, terminate or otherwise modify any Company Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement.

Section 5.7 Regulatory Approvals; Efforts.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries (as applicable) to, use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, as promptly as practicable, all actions necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including to use their respective reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as practicable, (i) cause all of the conditions to Closing set out in Article VI to be satisfied, (ii) prepare and file all necessary, proper or advisable Filings, (iii) obtain all necessary, proper or advisable Governmental Approvals, (iv) obtain all necessary material consents or waivers from non-Governmental Entity third parties (provided, that in no event shall the Company or its Subsidiaries be obligated to pay or to commit to pay to any Person whose consent or waiver is being sought any cash or other consideration, or make any accommodation or commitment or incur any liability or other obligation to such Person in connection with such consent or waiver), and (v) execute and deliver any additional agreements, documents or instruments necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly notify the other Party of any notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity received by such Party alleging that such Governmental Entity’s consent is or may be required in connection with or as a condition to the consummation of the Merger or any other Transaction.

48

(b) Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate and coordinate with the other Party in the taking of the actions contemplated by Section 5.7(a), (ii) provide such assistance as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing, including supplying the other Party with any information that the other Party may reasonably request in order to effectuate the taking of such actions, and (iii) keep the other Party reasonably and timely informed of any developments, meetings, or discussions with any Governmental Entity, and any inquiries or requests for additional information, from any Governmental Entity. If the Company or Parent receives a formal or informal request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Merger or the other Transactions, then it shall use reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as promptly as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other Party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. In addition, to the extent practicable, none of the Parties hereto shall participate in any substantive meeting or conference (telephone, video, in-person or otherwise) with any Governmental Entity, or any member of the staff of any Governmental Entity, in respect of any Filing, Action, investigation (including any settlement of the investigation) or other inquiry unless it provides reasonable prior notice of such meeting or conference and consults with the other Party in advance and, where permitted by such Governmental Entity, allows the other Party to participate. To the extent reasonably practicable, legal counsel for Parent and for the Company shall have the right to review in advance, and will consult with the other Party on and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with any substantive filing made with, or substantive written materials submitted to, any third party or Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions. In exercising the foregoing rights, each of Parent and the Company shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable. Information disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement. However, (A) each of Parent and the Company may designate any information or material shared under this Section 5.7 as restricted to “Outside Counsel Only” and any such information or material shall not be shared with employees, officers, managers or directors or their equivalents of the other Party without approval of the disclosing Party, and (B) materials may be redacted (x) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (y) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements or applicable Law, and (z) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege concerns. Neither Parent nor the Company shall be required to comply with any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7(b) to the extent that such compliance would be prohibited by applicable Law. The Company shall not voluntarily extend any waiting period associated with any consent of any Governmental Entity or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions, except with the prior written consent of Parent. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Parent shall have the principal responsibility for devising and implementing the strategy for obtaining any requisite regulatory approvals and be entitled to direct, control and lead communications, discussions, and negotiations under this Section 5.7, and the Company will cooperate reasonably, subject to applicable Law, therewith; provided, however, that Parent shall consult in advance (to the extent reasonably practicable) with the Company, and give due consideration in good faith to the Company’s views regarding such strategy, communications, discussions, and negotiations.

49

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the other provisions in this Section 5.7, Parent and Merger Sub agree to take, and to cause their respective controlled Affiliates to take, in each case as promptly as practicable (and in any event prior to the End Date), any and all steps necessary to avoid, eliminate or resolve each and every impediment that may be asserted by any Governmental Entity under any Antitrust Laws and obtain all clearances, consents, approvals and waivers under any Antitrust Laws that may be required by any Governmental Entity (including complying with all restrictions and conditions, if any, imposed or requested by any Governmental Entity in connection with granting any necessary consent, approval, Order, actions or nonactions, waiver or clearance, or terminating any applicable waiting period), so as to enable the Parties to close the Merger and the other Transactions as soon as practicable (and in any event no later than the End Date), including proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate orders, trust, or otherwise, (i) the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition of any Subsidiaries, operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers or assets of Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time), (ii) any limitation or modification of any of the businesses, services, products or operations of Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time), (iii) the termination, relinquishment, modification, or waiver of existing relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time), and/or (iv) the creation of any relationships, ventures, contractual rights, obligations or other arrangements of Parent or any of its controlled Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time) (each, a “Remedial Action”); provided, however, that Parent will not be required to take any Remedial Action that is not conditioned upon consummation of the Merger. In addition, in furtherance and not in limitation of the other provisions in this Section 5.7, Parent shall, and shall cause its controlled Affiliates to, take all actions (A) necessary to defend, including through pursuing litigation on the merits, any administrative or judicial Action or Proceeding asserted or threatened by any Governmental Entity or any other Person under Antitrust Laws (including pursuing all available avenues of administrative and/or judicial appeal) that seeks, or would reasonably be expected to seek, to prevent, restrain, impede, delay, enjoin, or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions, and (B) necessary in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) entered, issued or threatened that would prevent, restrain, impede, delay, enjoin or otherwise prohibit the consummation of the Merger or any of the other Transactions prior to the End Date or otherwise materially delaying the Closing or delaying the Effective Time beyond the End Date; provided, however, that the obligations set forth in this sentence shall not limit the obligation of Parent to take, and/or to cause its controlled Affiliates to take, any Remedial Action or to otherwise comply with its obligations set forth in this Section 5.7(c). The entry by any Governmental Entity of an Order requiring any Remedial Action shall not be deemed to constitute or result in a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement or a failure of any condition to the Transactions to be satisfied.

50

(d) Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall, nor shall they permit their respective Subsidiaries to, acquire or agree to acquire any rights, assets, business, Person or divisions thereof (through acquisition, license, joint venture, collaboration or otherwise), if such acquisition would or would reasonably be expected to materially delay the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not obtaining, any Governmental Approval necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, including the Merger.

Section 5.8 Takeover Statutes. None of Parent, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries shall take any action that would cause the Transactions to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Statute. If any “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “fair price,” “supermajority,” “affiliate transactions” or “business combination statute or regulation” or other similar state anti-takeover Laws and regulations may become, or may purport to be, applicable to the Merger or any other Transactions, each of the Company and Parent and their respective boards of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on the Transactions.

Section 5.9 Public Announcements. Unless a Company Adverse Recommendation Change has occurred, the Parties shall consult with one another prior to issuing, and provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment upon, any public announcement, statement or other disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions and shall not issue any such public announcement or statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by Law, the Corporations Act, or by the ASX Listing Rules; provided, that each of the Company and Parent may make any public statements in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or analyst or investor calls, so long as such statements are not inconsistent with previous statements made jointly by the Company and Parent (or made by one Party after having consulted with the other Party); provided, further, that the Company need not consult with Parent, and Parent need not consult with the Company, in connection with any public announcement, statement or other disclosure with respect to any Company Takeover Proposal (including any “stop, look and listen” communication), Company Superior Proposal, Company Adverse Recommendation Change or dispute among the Parties regarding this Agreement. The Company and Parent agree to issue a joint press release announcing the execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided, further, that Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates may, without consultation or consent, make ordinary course disclosure and communication to existing or prospective general or limited partners, equity holders, members, managers and investors of such Person or any Affiliates of such Person, in each case who are subject to customary confidentiality restrictions.

Section 5.10 Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each present and former director and officer of the Company as of the Effective Time and any of its Subsidiaries and any other Person entitled to indemnification under the Company Organizational Documents or Organizational Documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries (in each case, solely when acting in such capacity) (collectively, together with their respective heirs, executors and administrators, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with any Action, Proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or related to the fact that such Person is or was a Company Indemnified Party and pertaining to matters existing or occurring or actions or omissions taken at or prior to the Effective Time, including (i) the Transactions, and (ii) actions to enforce this Section 5.10 and any other indemnification or advancement right of any Company Indemnified Party, and Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, also advance expenses to the Company Indemnified Parties as incurred to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law; provided, that, to the extent required by applicable Law, the Company Indemnified Party to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by a final and nonappealable judicial determination that such Company Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification.

(b) The Parties agree that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Company Indemnified Party or as provided in the Company Organizational Documents (or Organizational Documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries) or any indemnification agreements in existence as of the date hereof between such Company Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, shall survive the Transactions and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of such Company Indemnified Parties.

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company may and, if the Company does not, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, not later than the Effective Time, obtain and fully pay the premium for the extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable to the Company Indemnified Parties than the Company’s existing policies. If neither the Company nor the Surviving Corporation obtains such a “tail” insurance policy as of the Effective Time, then, for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained in effect the D&O Insurance in place as of the date hereof with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable to the Company Indemnified Parties than those provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof (provided, that the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies with a substantially comparable insurer of similar national reputation that have at least the same coverage and amounts as the D&O Insurance in place on the date hereof and containing terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability which are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company Indemnified Parties than those of the D&O Insurance in place on the date hereof) with respect to claims arising from facts or events, or actions or omissions, which occurred or are alleged to have occurred at or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to make annual premium payments for such insurance to the extent such premiums exceed 300% of the premiums paid in 2023 by the Company for such insurance (the “Premium Cap”), and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed the Premium Cap, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance which, in the Surviving Corporation’s good faith determination, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to the Premium Cap.

52

(d) The rights of each Company Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall be in addition to, and not in lieu or limitation of, any other rights such Company Indemnified Party may have under the Company Organizational Documents (or the Organizational Documents of the Company’s Subsidiaries) or under any applicable Contracts or Law.

(e) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or Surviving Corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.10.

(f) The provisions of this Section 5.10 shall survive the Effective Time and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party. The Company Indemnified Parties are expressly intended as third-party beneficiaries of this Section 5.10 and from and after the Effective Time, the provisions of this Section 5.10 shall not be terminated or modified in any manner that adversely affects any Company Indemnified Party without such Person’s prior written consent.

Section 5.11 Control of Operations. Without in any way limiting any Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that (a) nothing contained in this Agreement shall give Parent or the Company, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the other Party’s operations (or the operations of the other Party’s Subsidiaries) prior to the Effective Time and (b) prior to the Effective Time, each of the Company and Parent shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its operations.

Section 5.12 Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Stock (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Stock) resulting from the Transactions by each Person who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company (including any director designated by any such Person and including any Person to the extent deemed a director by deputization) or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Parent, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 5.13 Transaction Litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate (at Parent’s sole cost and expense) in the defense or settlement of any stockholder Action against the Company or its current or former directors or executive officers relating to the Transactions, including the Merger; provided, that this Section 5.13 shall not give Parent the right to control such defense, and that the Company shall control such defense. Each of Parent and the Company shall notify the other promptly (and in any event within forty-eight (48) hours) of the commencement of any such stockholder Action of which it has received notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not settle any such litigation without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall not settle any Action, or Proceeding related to the Transactions, including the Merger, unless such settlement provides a full, complete and unconditional release for the Company and each officer and director of the Company party to such litigation.

53

Section 5.14 Exchange Delisting. The Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Laws, the ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Guidance Note to request the suspension of trading of the Company CDIs on the ASX and to delist the Company from the Official List of the ASX, and to terminate the registration of the Company’s Common Stock under the Exchange Act, in each case, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, provided, that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until after the Effective Time.

Section 5.15 Additional Agreements. In case at any time after the Effective Time any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full title to all properties, assets, rights, approvals, immunities and franchises of any of the Parties to the Merger, the officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to, in the name and on behalf of the Company, execute and deliver such deeds, bills of sale, assignment or assurances and take all such other action as may be necessary in connection therewith.

Section 5.16 Advice of Changes. The Company and Parent shall each promptly advise the other Party of (a) any notice or other written communication received from any counterparty to a material Contract with regard to any action, consent, approval or waiver that is required to be taken or obtained with respect to such Contract in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (and provide a copy thereof), or (b) any notice or other written communication from any other Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions (and provide a copy thereof). The Company shall promptly notify Parent of any written notice or other written communication from any party to any Company Material Contract to the effect that such party has terminated or intends to terminate or otherwise materially adversely modify such Company Material Contract as a result of the Transactions.

Section 5.20 Financing; Financing Cooperation.

(a) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Parent and Merger Sub agree to use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to arrange and obtain, on or prior to the Closing Date, the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Credit Agreement, and shall not permit any material amendment or modification to be made to the Credit Agreement that would, or would reasonably be expected to, (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to an amount less than an amount necessary to satisfy the Required Funding Amount or (ii) impose new or additional conditions precedent or other terms or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of any portion of the Debt Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) materially delay or prevent the Closing or (B) make the funding of any portion of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Debt Financing) less likely to occur.

(b) Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed of any material developments in the status of the Debt Financing. If any portion of the Debt Financing necessary to satisfy the Required Funding Amount becomes unavailable (after giving effect to any other equity and/or debt financing that may then be available to cover such unavailable amount) on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Credit Agreement, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative debt financing on terms and conditions in the aggregate not less favorable to Parent (as determined in good faith by Parent, but in any event that does not impose any new or additional condition precedent, or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions precedent, to the receipt of any portion of the Debt Financing in a manner that would be reasonably expected to (A) materially delay or prevent the Closing or (B) make the funding of any portion of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Debt Financing) less likely to occur) than the Debt Financing contemplated by the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date hereof in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Debt Financing (any such alternative debt financing, an “Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, and the provisions of this Section 5.20 shall be applicable to the Alternative Financing, and, for the purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 5.4), all references to the “Debt Financing” shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing and all references to the “Credit Agreement” shall include the applicable documents for the Alternative Financing. It is understood and agreed that in no event will the reasonable best efforts of Parent be deemed or construed to require Parent to pay any fees materially in excess of those contemplated by the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date of this Agreement (whether to secure waiver of any conditions contained therein or otherwise).

55

(c) Parent shall give the Company prompt written notice (i) in the event Parent becomes aware of any material breach or material default (or any event, fact or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in material breach or material default) by any party to the Credit Agreement that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the Closing or result in any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Credit Agreement necessary to satisfy the Required Funding Amount becoming unavailable, (ii) of the receipt by Parent or Merger Sub of any written notice from any Lender party to the Credit Agreement with respect to any actual breach, default, termination or repudiation by such Lender related to the Debt Financing or (iii) of any expiration of termination of the Credit Agreement.

(d) From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall, shall cause its Subsidiaries to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to (x) furnish to Parent or Merger Sub all information required to be provided with respect the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the business, operations and financial conditions thereof, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.2(o) and 7.4(II) of the Credit Agreement) and (y) use reasonable best efforts to provide Parent with all cooperation as is reasonably requested by Parent in connection with arranging and obtaining the Debt Financing, including, without limitation, by:

(iv) assisting in the preparation of, and executing and delivering, definitive financing documents, including guarantee and collateral documents and customary closing certificates as may be required in connection with the Debt Financing (including a certificate of an appropriate officer of the Company with respect to solvency of the Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the Closing Date after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby) and other customary documents, in each case as may be reasonably requested by Parent or the Debt Financing Sources and that are not effective until as of, or after, the Closing;

56

(v) cooperating with Parent’s legal counsel in connection with any legal opinions that such legal counsel may be required to deliver in connection with the Debt Financing;

(vi) providing to Parent and the Debt Financing Sources at least four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing all documentation and other information required by bank regulatory authorities in the United States under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act and any beneficial ownership certification required in connection with 31 C.F.R. Section 1010.230, in each case, to the extent reasonably requested ten (10) days prior to the Closing;

(vii) facilitating the granting of a security interest (and the perfection thereof) in collateral (including obtaining insurance certificates with customary endorsements and delivering original stock certificates with customary stock powers as required in connection with the Debt Financing) and the termination of any existing guarantee and collateral arrangements in respect thereof;

(viii) subject to customary confidentiality agreements, using reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the due diligence investigation of the Debt Financing Sources, to the extent customary and reasonable; and

(ix) causing the taking of all corporate and other actions by the Company and its Subsidiaries that are reasonably requested by Parent to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing on the Closing Date and to permit the proceeds thereof to be made available to Parent and/or Merger Sub as of the Closing; it being understood and agreed that (A) no such corporate or other action will take effect prior to the Closing and (B) any such corporate or other action will only be required of the directors, members, partners, managers or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries who retain their respective positions as of the Closing.

(e) The Company consents to the customary and reasonable use of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ logos solely in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended, or reasonably likely, to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company and its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to execute or enter into any certificate, instrument, agreement or other document in connection with the Debt Financing which will be effective prior to the Effective Time; (B) nothing herein shall require cooperation or other actions or efforts on the part of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, in connection with the Debt Financing to the extent it would interfere unreasonably or materially with the business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries (it being understood that the assistance described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 5.20(d) does not unreasonably or materially interfere with the business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries); (C) none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or to incur any other liability or obligation, in each case, in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Closing; (D) nothing herein shall require the board of directors or similar governing body of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, prior to the Closing, to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents or instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is made (it being agreed and understood that Persons who will continue as directors or managers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing may be required to execute and deliver in escrow resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt Financing that will be effective at the Closing); and (E) none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their Representatives shall be required to deliver any legal opinions. All information provided or made available by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 5.20 shall be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, it being understood that such information may be shared with prospective Debt Financing Sources, subject to such Debt Financing Sources agreeing to be bound by customary confidentiality undertakings.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the condition set forth in Section 6.2(b), as it applies to the Company’s obligations under this Section 5.20, shall be deemed satisfied unless the Debt Financing (or any Alternative Financing) has not been obtained as a result of the Company’s material breach of its obligations under this Section 5.20.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Parent’s right to either (A) seek an order of specific performance against the Company prior to the termination of this Agreement as permitted by and subject to the requirements of Section 8.5 or (B) validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(a) and receive the Company Termination Fee, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and (ii) no member of the Company Group shall have any further liability of any kind for any reason arising out of or in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.3(c) will not relieve the Company from any liability for any Fraud or Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement, in each case occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement, except that under no circumstances will any member of the Company Group have liability for damages based upon, relating to, resulting from, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement (including any payment of the Company Termination Fee and any monetary damages including for Fraud or Willful and Material Breach) that exceeds, in the aggregate, the Company Damages Cap. In the event that Parent receives any payments from the Company in respect of a breach of this Agreement and thereafter Parent is entitled to receive the Company Termination Fee under this Section 7.3, the amount of such Company Termination Fee shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of any such payments made by the Company to Parent. In the event that Parent receives the Company Termination Fee under this Section 7.3 and is subsequently entitled to receive any payments from the Company in respect of Fraud or Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement, the amount of any such payments due shall be reduced by the amount of the Company Termination Fee. In no event shall Parent be entitled to more than one payment of the full Company Termination Fee in connection with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to which such Company Termination Fee is payable.

65

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Company’s right to either (A) seek an order of specific performance against Parent and Merger Sub prior to the termination of this Agreement as permitted by and subject to the requirements of Section 8.5 or (B) validly terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.3(b) and receive the Parent Termination Fee (including the Company’s right to enforce the Limited Guaranty to receive such Parent Termination Fee from the Guarantors if due and payable in accordance with and subject to the limitations in this Agreement and the Limited Guaranty), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the Transactions to be consummated, and (ii) no member of the Parent Group shall have any further liability of any kind for any reason arising out of or in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.3(d) will not relieve Parent or Merger Sub from any liability for any Fraud or Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement, in each case occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement, except that under no circumstances will any member of the Parent Group (including Parent and Merger Sub) have liability for damages based upon, relating to, resulting from, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement (including any payment of the Parent Termination Fee and any monetary damages including for Fraud or Willful and Material Breach) that exceeds, in the aggregate, the Parent Damages Cap. In the event that the Company receives any payments from Parent or Merger Sub in respect of a breach of this Agreement and thereafter the Company is entitled to receive the Parent Termination Fee under this Section 7.3, the amount of such Parent Termination Fee shall be reduced by the aggregate amount of any such payments made by Parent or Merger Sub to the Company. In the event that the Company receives the Parent Termination Fee under this Section 7.3 and is subsequently entitled to receive any payments from Parent or Merger Sub in respect of Fraud or Willful and Material Breach of this Agreement, the amount of any such payments due shall be reduced by the amount of the Parent Termination Fee. In no event shall the Company be entitled to more than one payment of the full Parent Termination Fee in connection with a termination of this Agreement pursuant to which such Parent Termination Fee is payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.3(d) shall in any way limit or modify the rights of Parent and its Affiliates under the Credit Agreement or the obligations of the Debt Financing Sources under the Credit Agreement.

(e) Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges that neither the Company Termination Fee nor the Parent Termination Fee is intended to be a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company in the circumstances in which such Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee, as applicable, is due and payable and which do not involve Fraud or a Willful and Material Breach, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Transactions, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(f) Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if a Party fails to pay in a timely manner any amount due pursuant to Section 7.3(a), and, in order to obtain such payment, a non-breaching Party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the breaching Party for the amounts set forth in this Section 7.3 or any portion thereof, then (i) the breaching Party shall reimburse the non-breaching Party for all costs and expenses (including disbursements and reasonable fees of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 7.3 and (ii) the breaching Party shall pay to the non-breaching Party interest on such amount from and including the date payment of such amount was due to but excluding the date of actual payment at the prime rate set forth in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made plus two percent (2%).

Article VIII
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 8.1 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Merger; provided, that this Section 8.1 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the Parties which by its terms contemplates performance or compliance in whole or in part after the Effective Time or otherwise expressly by its terms survives the Effective Time (including the provisions of Section 3.26, Section 4.18, Section 5.6 and Section 5.10).

Section 8.2 Expenses. Whether or not the Merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger, this Agreement and the other Transactions shall be paid by the Party incurring or required to incur such expenses; provided, however, that each of Parent and the Surviving Corporation agrees to assume liability for and pay any sales, transfer, stamp, stock transfer, value added, use, real property transfer or gains and any similar Taxes, as well as any transfer, recording, registration and other similar fees that may be imposed upon, payable or incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions (such Taxes or fees, “Transfer Taxes”) except that neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be liable for any Transfer Taxes described in Section 2.2(d).

Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

Section 8.4 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether at Law, in contract or in tort or otherwise) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

67

Section 8.5 Jurisdiction; Specific Performance.

(a) Each of the Parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such suit, action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the Transactions in any court other than the aforesaid courts; provided, however, that each party agrees that a final judgment in the aforesaid court shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law and in any other court. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any claim that (A) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (B) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (C) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Parties hereto hereby consents to the service of process in accordance with Section 8.7; provided, however, that nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any Party does not perform any of the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach or threaten to breach any such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that, at any time prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII, subject to the limitations set forth therein and in this Section 8.5 and Section 8.6, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the right of a Party to cause each other Party to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and the right of the Company to cause Parent to cause the Debt Financing to be funded pursuant to the terms hereof and to enforce the obligations of the Guarantors pursuant to the terms of the Limited Guaranty and hereof, as applicable, in any court referred to in Section 8.5(a) 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 at law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable or not appropriate for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.

68

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties agree that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, the Company may seek and obtain an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedies to specifically enforce Parent’s obligation to consummate the Closing at the time the Closing is required to occur on the terms and conditions set forth herein, in each case, if and only if (and only so long as): (i) all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been (and remain) satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided, that each such condition is then capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time and will be satisfied at the Closing), (ii) Parent and Merger Sub shall have failed to consummate the Transaction by the date on which the Closing should have occurred pursuant to Section 1.2, (iii) the Debt Financing has been funded in full or will be funded in full at the Closing, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement (provided, that, subject to the rights of the Company under this Section 8.5(c), Parent and Merger Sub shall not be required to consummate the Closing if the Debt Financing is not in fact funded at or prior to the Closing), (iv) the Company has provided to Parent and Merger Sub irrevocable written notice stating that (A) all of the closing conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided, that each such condition is then capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time and will be satisfied at the Closing) and (B) the Company is ready, willing and able to consummate, and will consummate, the Closing if specific performance is granted and (v) Parent and Merger Sub fail to consummate the Closing within five (5) Business Days following such irrevocable notice; provided, that the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 must remain continuously satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing, provided, that each such condition is then capable of being satisfied if the Closing were to occur at such time and will be satisfied at the Closing) throughout such five (5) Business Day period.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall (a) the Company be entitled to specifically enforce (or to bring any action or proceeding in equity seeking to specifically enforce) Parent’s rights to effect the Closing other than as expressly provided in this Section 8.5(c) and (b) the Company, Parent or Merger Sub be entitled to seek or specifically enforce any provision of this Agreement or to obtain an injunction or injunctions, or to bring any other action or proceeding in equity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement against any other party hereto other than under the circumstances expressly set forth in Section 8.5(b) and Section 8.5(c).

Section 8.6 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. 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) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS Section 8.6.

Section 8.8 Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided, that Parent or Merger Sub may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (a) one or more of its Affiliates at any time (except any such assignment which would, or would reasonably be expected to, prevent, delay or impair the ability of Parent to consummate the Merger and the other Transactions), (b) after the Effective Time, to any Debt Financing Source (or agent therefor) for purposes of creating a security interest in all or any part of its rights under this Agreement (provided, that no such assignment will limit Parent’s or Merger Sub’s obligations hereunder), and (c) after the Effective Time, to any Person; provided, that any assignment by Parent or Merger Sub shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 8.8 shall be null and void.

Section 8.9Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (a) shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement and (b) shall not, solely by virtue thereof, be invalid or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine a suitable and equitable provision to be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision.

Section 8.10Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the exhibits hereto, schedules and annexes hereto (including the Company Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and except as provided by Section 8.13, this Agreement is not intended to grant standing to any Person other than the Parties hereto.

Section 8.11Amendments; Waivers. At any time prior to the Effective Time, any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived, but only if such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Company, Parent and Merger Sub or, in the case of a waiver, by the Party waiving such provision; provided, however, that in the event that this Agreement has been approved by the stockholders of the Company in accordance with the DGCL, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of such stockholders without such approval. At any time and from time to time prior to the Effective Time, either the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, may, to the extent permissible by applicable Law and except as otherwise set forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Merger Sub, in the case of an extension by the Company, or of the Company, in the case of an extension by Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of any such Party contained herein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any Party hereto in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.11 and Section 8.15(a), as such provisions relate to the Debt Financing Sources, shall not be waived in a manner that is adverse in any material respect to any Debt Financing Source without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources party to the Credit Agreement that have consent rights over amendments to this Agreement.

All such notices shall be delivered, either personally, by mail, or by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given, by or at the direction of the board of directors, the president or the secretary, and if mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the stockholder at his, her or its address as the same appears on the records of the corporation. If given by electronic transmission, such notice shall be deemed to be delivered (a) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (b) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice; (c) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (i) such posting, and (ii) the giving of such separate notice, and (d) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if (x) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two (2) consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent and (y) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent; provided, however, that the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends 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.

Section 5. Stockholders List. The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Nothing contained in this section shall require the corporation to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (1) 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 (2) 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 a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such 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.

Exhibit C-2

Section 6. Quorum. The holders of a majority of the votes represented by the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders, except as otherwise required by statute or by the certificate of incorporation. If a quorum is not present, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting, and entitled to vote at the meeting, may adjourn the meeting to another time and/or place, if any. The chairperson of the meeting shall also have the power to adjourn a stockholder meeting, whether or not a quorum is present. The chairperson of a stockholder meeting shall be the president of the corporation or such other person designated by the board of directors.

Section 7. Adjourned Meetings. When a meeting is adjourned to another time and place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders 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, a notice of adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Section 8. Vote Required. When a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, unless the question is one upon which by express provisions of an applicable law or of the certificate of incorporation a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Section 9. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or by the certificate of incorporation or any amendments thereto and subject to Section 3 of Article VI hereof, every stockholder shall at every meeting of the stockholders be entitled to one (1) vote in person or by proxy for each share of common stock held by such stockholder.

Section 10. Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of 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 by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. At each meeting of the stockholders, and before any voting commences, all proxies filed at or before the meeting shall be submitted to and examined by the secretary or a person designated by the secretary, and no shares may be represented or voted under a proxy that has been found to be invalid or irregular.

Exhibit C-3

The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

Section 12. Action by Written Consent. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of such stockholders, 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 and bearing the dates of signature of the stockholders who signed the consent or consents is 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 is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the state of Delaware, or the corporation’s principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book or books 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 or by reputable overnight courier service. All consents properly delivered in accordance with this section shall be deemed to be recorded when so delivered. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days after the earliest dated consent delivered to the corporation as required by this section, written consents signed by the holders of a sufficient number of shares to take such corporate action are so recorded. 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, in accordance with Section 228(e) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (as amended from time to time). Any action taken pursuant to such written consent or consents of the stockholders shall have the same force and effect as if taken by the stockholders at a meeting thereof.

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.

Section 13. Action by Telegram, Cablegram or Other Electronic Transmission Consent. 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; provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the corporation can determine (a) 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 (b) 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 stockholders are recorded if, to the extent and in the manner provided by resolution of the board of directors.

Section 11. Presumption of Assent. Any member of the board of directors or any committee thereof who is present at a meeting shall be conclusively presumed to have assented to any action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless his or her written dissent to such action shall be filed with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall be forwarded by registered mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting.

Payment of such expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person, may be made by the corporation, subject to such terms and conditions as the general counsel of the corporation in his or her discretion deems appropriate.

Exhibit C-9

ARTICLE VI.

CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

Section 1. Form. The board of directors of the corporation may provide by resolution or resolutions that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall be uncertificated shares. Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation. If the corporation elects to certificate its shares, every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by by any two officers of the corporation, certifying the number of shares owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such officer may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates representing shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation.

Exhibit C-10

Section 2. Lost Certificates. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate.

Section 3. Fixing a Record Date for Stockholder Meetings. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may, except as otherwise required by law, 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 the board of directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of 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 stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 at the adjourned meeting.

Exhibit C-11

Section 4. Fixing a Record Date for Action by Written Consent. 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 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 statute, 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 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 statute, 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.

Section 5. Fixing a Record Date for Other Purposes. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, 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, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

Section 6. Registered Stockholders. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates representing a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner.

Section 7. Subscriptions for Stock. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation.

Exhibit C-12

Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or any other purpose and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Section 2. Checks, Drafts or Orders. All checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money by or to the corporation and all notes and other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the corporation, and in such manner, as shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.

Section 3. Contracts. The board of directors may authorize any officer or officers, or any agent or agents, of the corporation to enter into any contract or to execute and deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authority may be general or confined to specific instances.

Section 4. Loans. The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute.

Section 5. Fiscal Year. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors.

Section 6. Corporate Seal. The board of directors may provide a corporate seal which shall be in the form of a circle and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation and the words “Corporate Seal, Delaware”. The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or reproduced or otherwise.

Section 7. Voting Securities Owned By Corporation. Voting securities in any other corporation held by the corporation shall be voted by the president or any other duly elected officer of the corporation, unless the board of directors specifically confers authority to vote with respect thereto, which authority may be general or confined to specific instances, upon some other person. Any person authorized to vote securities shall have the power to appoint proxies, with general power of substitution.

Exhibit C-13

Section 8. Inspection of Books and Records. Any stockholder of record, in person or by attorney or other agent, shall, upon written demand under oath stating the purpose thereof, have the right during the usual hours for business to inspect for any proper purpose the corporation’s stock ledger, a list of its stockholders, and its other books and records, and to make copies or extracts therefrom. A proper purpose shall mean any purpose reasonably related to such person’s interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware or at its principal place of business.

Section 9. Section Heading. Section headings in these bylaws are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein.

Section 10. Inconsistent Provisions. In the event that any provision of these bylaws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the certificate of incorporation, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law, the provision of these bylaws shall not be given any effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full force and effect.

Section 11. Waivers. A written waiver of any notice, signed by a stockholder or director, or waiver by electronic transmission by such person, whether given before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to the notice required to be given to such person. Neither the business nor the purpose of any meeting need be specified in such a waiver. Attendance at any meeting shall constitute waiver of notice except attendance for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

ARTICLE VIII.

AMENDMENTS

These bylaws may be amended, altered, or repealed and new bylaws adopted at any meeting of the board of directors by a majority vote. The fact that the power to adopt, amend, alter, or repeal the bylaws has been conferred upon the board of directors shall not divest the stockholders of the same powers.

ARTICLE IX.
