Section 2.03         Dissenting Shares.

(a)          Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary and to the extent available under the CICA, all Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by shareholders of the Company who shall have validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to dissent from the Merger, or dissenter rights, in accordance with Section 238 of the CICA (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”, and holders of the Dissenting Shares collectively, the “Dissenting Shareholders”) shall be cancelled and cease to exist at the Effective Time and the Dissenting Shareholders shall not be entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration and shall instead be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares held by them determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the CICA.

(c)          The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any written notices of objection, notices of approvals, notice of dissent or demands for appraisal or written offers, under Section 238 of the CICA received by the Company, written withdrawals of such notices, demands or offers, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law of the Cayman Islands and received by the Company relating to its shareholders’ rights to dissent from the Merger or appraisal rights, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such notice or demand for appraisal under the CICA. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any offers or any payment with respect to any exercise by a shareholder of its rights to dissent from the Merger or any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

(d)          In the event that any written notices of objection to the Merger are served by any shareholders of the Company pursuant to section 238(2) of the CICA, the Company shall serve written notice of the authorization of the Merger on such shareholders pursuant to section 238(4) of the CICA within twenty (20) days of obtaining the Requisite Company Vote at the Shareholders Meeting.

Section 2.04         Exchange of Share Certificates, etc.

(a)          Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select and appoint a bank or trust company selected by Parent with the Company’s prior consent to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for all payments required to be made pursuant to ‎Section 2.01(a), Section 2.01(b) and ‎Section 2.03(b) (collectively, the “Merger Consideration”), and Parent shall enter into a paying agent agreement on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company with the Paying Agent prior to the Effective Time. At or prior to the Effective Time, or in the case of payments pursuant to ‎Section 2.03(b), when required thereby, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Shares and ADSs (other than Excluded Shares), cash in immediately available funds and in an amount that is sufficient to pay the full amount of the Merger Consideration (such cash, the “Exchange Fund”).

7

(b)            Exchange Procedures.

(i)          Promptly after the Effective Time (and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Company shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who was, at the Effective Time, a registered holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to ‎Section 2.01(a): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall be in customary form for a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands reasonably acceptable to Parent and the Company, and shall specify the manner in which the delivery of the Exchange Fund to registered holders of such Shares shall be effected and contain such other provisions as Parent and the Company may mutually agree), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of any issued share certificates representing such Shares (the “Share Certificates”) (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in ‎Section 2.04(c)) or non-certificated Shares represented by book entry (“Uncertificated Shares”) or such other documents as may be required in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Promptly following any Shares ceasing to be Dissenting Shares pursuant to ‎Section 2.03(b), Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to the applicable shareholders the documents described in the immediately preceding sentence. Upon surrender of, if applicable, a Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in ‎Section 2.04(c)) or Uncertificated Shares and/or such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each registered holder of Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavits and indemnities of loss in lieu of the Share Certificates as provided in ‎Section 2.04(c)) and each registered holder of Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a check, in the amount equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Share Certificate (or affidavit and indemnity of loss in lieu of the Share Certificate as provided in ‎Section 2.04(c)) or the number of Uncertificated Shares multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, subject to applicable withholding in accordance with ‎Section 2.04(i) and any Share Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be marked as cancelled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares or ADSs that is not registered in the register of members of the Company maintained by the Company or in the books maintained by the Depositary, as applicable, or if payment of the aggregate Per Share Merger Consideration or the aggregate Per ADS Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Share Certificates, the book-entry Shares or ADSs, as applicable, are registered, a cheque for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of Share Certificates (or affidavits if Share Certificates are lost, stolen or destroyed) or receipt by the Paying Agent of an “agent’s message” or other evidence, if any, as the Paying Agent may have reasonably requested in the case of book-entry Shares, or due surrender of ADSs, as applicable, may be issued to such transferee or other Person if the Share Certificates, book entry Shares or ADSs, as applicable, formerly representing such Shares or ADSs are properly presented to the Paying Agent or Depositary (as applicable) accompanied by all documents required to evidence, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Company, and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable transfer or other similar Taxes have been paid or are not applicable.

(ii)         Prior to the Effective Time, Parent and the Company shall establish procedures with the Paying Agent to ensure that the Paying Agent will transmit to the Depositary as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Effective Time an amount in cash in immediately available funds equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Shares represented by the ADSs described in Section 2.01(c)) currently registered in the name of the Depositary for the benefit of holders of ADSs (other than holders of ADSs described in Section 2.01(c)), multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon the Depositary’s receipt of said consideration, the Depositary will arrange for Cede & Co. (as nominee for The Depository Trust Company) to surrender each ADS currently held in its clearing system for cancellation in exchange for the Per ADS Merger Consideration (less any applicable fees, charges and expenses of the Depositary, stock transfer or other Taxes and other government charges due to or incurred by the Depositary in connection with the cancellation of outstanding ADSs, including cancellation fee of US$0.05 per ADS (collectively, the “ADS Cancellation Fees”)) and cancel all such ADSs so surrendered. For the avoidance of doubt, neither Parent, Merger Sub, the Company nor the Surviving Company shall be responsible for paying the ADS Cancellation Fees on behalf of any third parties (including any other holders of ADSs).

8

(iii)         No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any amount payable in respect of the Shares or ADSs pursuant to the provisions of this ‎Section 2.04(b) and any other provisions contained in Article II.

(c)            Lost Certificates. If any Share Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Share Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent, the posting by such person of a bond, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent may direct, and upon such term as may be reasonably required by the Surviving Company or the Paying Agent, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Share Certificate, the Paying Agent will pay in respect of such lost, stolen or destroyed Share Certificate an amount equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) represented by such Share Certificate to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to ‎Section 2.01(a).

(d)          Untraceable Shareholders. Remittances for the Per Share Merger Consideration or the Per ADS Merger Consideration, as the case may be, shall not be sent to holders of Shares or ADSs who are untraceable unless and until, except as provided below, they notify the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent or the Depositary, as applicable, of their current contact details. A holder of Shares or ADSs will be deemed to be untraceable if (i) such person has no registered address in the register of members maintained by the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, (ii) on the last two (2) consecutive occasions on which a dividend has been paid by the Company a check payable to such person either (x) has been sent to such person and has been returned undelivered or has not been cashed, or (y) has not been sent to such person because on an earlier occasion a check for a dividend so payable has been returned undelivered, and in any such case no valid claim in respect thereof has been communicated in writing to the Company or the Depositary, as applicable, or (iii) notice of the Shareholders Meeting convened to vote on the Merger has been sent to such person and has been returned undelivered.

(e)          Adjustments to Merger Consideration. The Per Share Merger Consideration and the Per ADS Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Shares), extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Shares or ADSs occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time (but excluding any change that results from any exercise of Company Options or the vesting of any Company RSUs) and to provide to the holders of Shares (including holders of ADSs), Company Options and Company RSUs the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided, that nothing in this Section 2.04(e) shall be construed to permit the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any other Person to take any action that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

(f)          Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Fund, pending its disbursement to the holders of Shares and ADSs, shall be invested by the Paying Agent as reasonably directed by Parent or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company; provided, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States, in commercial paper obligations rated the highest quality by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $1 billion, or a combination of the foregoing and, in any such case, no such instrument shall have a maturity exceeding three (3) months; provided, further, that no such investment shall affect the amounts payable to the holders of Shares and ADSs (other than holders of Dissenting Shares, Excluded Shares and ADSs representing the Excluded Shares). To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the aggregate Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore, or cause to be replaced or restored, the cash in the Exchange Fund lost through such investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable for the Merger Consideration shall be promptly returned to Parent or the Surviving Company, as requested by Parent. Except as contemplated by ‎Section 2.04(b), this ‎Section 2.04(f) and ‎Section 2.04(g), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(g)          Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by the holders of Shares or ADSs for nine (9) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company upon demand, and any holders of Shares and ADSs (other than Excluded Shares) who have not theretofore complied with this ‎Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for the cash to which they are entitled pursuant to ‎Article II without any interest thereon.

(h)          No Liability. None of the Paying Agent, the Rollover Shareholders, Parent, the Surviving Company or the Depositary shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any such Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto), or cash properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, bona vacantia, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by such former holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the property of the Surviving Company or its designee, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.

10

(i)           Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent, Merger Sub and the Depositary shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of applicable Tax Law; provided, that, other than with respect to withholding with respect to any payments in the nature of compensation, Parent shall, in the event that the Paying Agent, Parent or Merger Sub is the withholding party, prior to any deduction or withholding, use reasonable best efforts to (A) notify the Company of any anticipated withholding, (B) consult with the Company in good faith to determine whether such deduction and withholding is required under applicable Law, and (C) to the extent legally permissible and reasonably practicable, reasonably cooperate with the Company to minimize the amount of any such applicable withholding. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent, Merger Sub or the Depositary, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be (i) remitted by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent, Merger Sub or the Depositary, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Authority, and (ii) to the extent so remitted, treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Company, the Paying Agent, Merger Sub or the Depositary, as the case may be.

From and after the Effective Time, (a) the register of members of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no registrations of transfers in the register of members of the Surviving Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (b) the holders of Shares (including Shares represented by ADSs) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by Law. On or after the Effective Time, any Share Certificates presented to the Paying Agent, Parent or Surviving Company for transfer or any other reason shall be cancelled, in exchange for the right to receive the cash consideration to which the holders thereof are entitled under this ‎Article II in the case of Shares other than the Excluded Shares and the Dissenting Shares, and for no consideration in the case of Excluded Shares and only in accordance with ‎Section 2.03 in the case of the Dissenting Shares.

All requests for information made pursuant to this ‎Section 6.03(a) shall be directed to the executive officers or other person designated by the Company.

40

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ‎Section 6.03(a), nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to give access to or disclose any information to Parent or any of its Representatives if such access or disclosure would (i) violate any Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, applicable Law or Order (provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such information be provided in a manner that would not result in such violation), (ii) jeopardize any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege, or (iii) give a Third Party the right to terminate or accelerate the rights under a Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement (provided that the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such information be provided in a manner that would not result in such jeopardy for right to terminate or accelerate).

(c)          All information provided or made available pursuant to this ‎Section 6.03 to Parent or its Representatives shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement and ‎Section 9.12.

(d)          No investigation pursuant to this ‎Section 6.03 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto.

Section 6.04         Competing Proposal.

(a)          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. New York City time on the date that is (x) thirty (30) days following the date of this Agreement (the “No-Shop Period Start Date”) for any Person or “group” who is not an Excluded Party, or (y) in respect of any Excluded Party, five (5) days after the No-Shop Period Start Date (the “Cut-Off Date”), as applicable, the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives (including any investment banker, attorney or accountant retained by any Group Company) shall have the right (acting under the direction of the Special Committee) to directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, induce or encourage any Competing Proposal, or facilitate the making, submission or announcement of one or more Competing Proposals from any Person or its Representatives, or encourage, facilitate or assist, any proposal, inquiry or offer that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal, including by furnishing to any Person or its Representatives any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by affording to any Person or its Representatives access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or other non-public information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case subject to the entry into, and in accordance with, an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) provide to Parent any information concerning the Company or its Subsidiaries that it has provided to any Person or its Representatives which was not previously provided to Parent, (ii) enter into, participate in or engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person or its Representatives with respect to a Competing Proposal or any proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal, and (iii) otherwise cooperate with, assist, participate in or facilitate any Competing Proposal or any proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to a Competing Proposal. Within forty-eight (48) hours following the No-Shop Period Start Date (or, with respect to an Excluded Party, the Cut-Off Date), the Company shall notify Parent in writing of the material terms and conditions of any proposal or offer regarding a Competing Proposal (including any amendments or modifications thereof) received from any Person or its Representatives and the identity thereof (including the identity of any Excluded Party). Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.04, the Company shall (x) immediately cease any activities permitted by the preceding sentences and any discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives) that are ongoing as of the No-Shop Period Start Date and that relate, or may reasonably be expected to lead, to a Competing Transaction, and (y) promptly request each Person (other than Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Representatives) that has heretofore executed a standstill, confidentiality or similar agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of a Competing Transaction to return (or if permitted by the applicable agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable agreement.

41

(b)          Immediately from the No-Shop Period Start Date (or, with respect to an Excluded Party, the Cut-Off Date), the Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its or their Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information which has not been previously publicly disseminated), or take any other action designed to facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Competing Proposal, (ii) enter into, maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with, or provide any nonpublic information concerning any Group Company to, any person in furtherance of such inquiries or with the intent to induce or obtain such a proposal or offer for a Competing Transaction, (iii) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend or consummate any Competing Transaction or enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement (as defined below), (iv) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreement or Takeover Statutes, or (v) authorize or permit any of the Representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action set forth in clauses (i) – (iv) of this Section 6.04(b); provided, that if, following the receipt of a Superior Proposal or a proposal which is reasonably expected to lead to a Superior Proposal that in either case was made after the No-Shop Period Start Date (or, with respect to an Excluded Party, the Cut-Off Date) and prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, the Company Board has determined, in its good faith judgment acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel), that a failure to do so could be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company may, in response to such proposal, (A) request information from the Person making such proposal for the sole purpose of the Company Board informing itself about the proposal that has been made and the Person that made it, (B) furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Superior Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (C) participate in negotiations with such party regarding such proposal; provided, further, that as soon as practical (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) the Company shall notify Parent in writing of the material terms and conditions of any proposal or offer regarding such proposal (including any amendments or modifications thereof) and the identity thereof (including the identity of any Excluded Party).

42

(c)          Except as expressly permitted in this Section 6.04, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, or propose publicly to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in a manner adverse to Parent, Merger Sub or the Company Recommendation, (ii) fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, (iii) adopt, approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt, approve, determine to be advisable, or recommend, any Competing Proposal, (iv) fail to recommend against any Competing Transaction subject to Regulation 14D under the Exchange Act in a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Competing Transaction, (v) fail to publicly reaffirm the Company Recommendation following any Competing Transaction having been publicly made, proposed or communicated (and not publicly withdrawn) within ten (10) Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, or (vi) cause the Company to enter into any letter of intent, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement (each, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) related to any Competing Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in compliance with Section 6.04(a) or Section 6.04(b)) (any of the foregoing, a “Change in Company Recommendation”).

(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.04(c), if and only if the Company Board determines in good faith acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel), in response to a Superior Proposal that was made in compliance with this Section 6.04 after the date hereof and prior to the receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, that the failure to do so could be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may (x) make a Change in the Company Recommendation, and (y) authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with ‎Section 8.03(c), but only (i) if the Company shall have complied with the requirements of Section 6.04(a) and Section 6.04(b) with respect to such proposal or offer in all material respects; (ii) after (A) providing at least five (5) Business Days’ (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”) written notice to Parent (a “Notice of Superior Proposal”) advising Parent that the Company Board has received a proposal or offer that constitutes a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such proposal or offer, identifying the person making such proposal or offer and indicating that the Company Board intends to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation and/or authorize the Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.03(c), (B) negotiating with and causing its financial and legal advisors to negotiate with Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Representatives in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Financing Documents, so that such proposal or offer would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (C) permitting Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board and the Special Committee regarding this Agreement, the Financing and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Parent desires to make such presentation); provided, that any material modifications to such proposal or offer that the Company Board has determined to be a Superior Proposal shall be deemed a new Superior Proposal to which the requirements of this Section 6.04(d) apply and the Company shall be required to deliver a new Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent; provided, further, that with respect to such new Notice of Superior Proposal to Parent, the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be deemed to be a three (3)-Business-Day-period rather than the five (5)-Business-Day-period first described above; and (D) following the end of such five (5)-Business-Day-period or three (3)-Business-Day-period (as applicable), the Company Board shall have determined, in its good faith judgment upon the recommendation of the Special Committee (after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel), that taking into account any changes to this Agreement and the Financing Documents proposed by Parent and Merger Sub in response to the Notice of Superior Proposal or otherwise, that such proposal or offer giving rise to the Notice of Superior Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal and the failure to take the actions specified in clauses (x) to (y) above could still be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

43

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time, but not after, the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, the Company Board, acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee, or the Special Committee, may make a Change in the Company Recommendation for a reason unrelated to a Competing Proposal if and only if (i) the Company Board determines, acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee, in good faith after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel that, in light of an Intervening Event, failure to make a Change in the Company Recommendation could be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; (ii) the Company notifies Parent in writing, at least five (5) Business Days in advance, that it intends to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation in light of such Intervening Event, which notice shall specify the nature and circumstances of the Intervening Event in reasonable detail; (iii) after providing such notice and prior to making such Change in the Company Recommendation in connection with such Intervening Event, the Company (A) shall, and shall cause its Representative to, negotiate in good faith with Parent during such five (5)-Business-Day-period (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement and the Financing Documents as would permit the Company Board not to effect a Change in the Company Recommendation in light of such Intervening Event, and (B) shall permit Parent and its Representatives to make a presentation to the Company Board and the Special Committee regarding this Agreement, the Financing Documents and any adjustments with respect thereto (to the extent Parent desires to make such presentation); and (iv) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement and the Financing Documents and shall have again determined, acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee, in good faith after consultation with its independent financial advisor and outside legal counsel, taking into account any changes to this Agreement and the Financing Documents proposed by Parent and Merger Sub in response to the aforementioned notice, that it could continue to be inconsistent with the Company Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Law not to effect the Change in the Company Recommendation in light of the Intervening Event.

44

(f)          Nothing contained in this ‎Section 6.04 shall be deemed to prohibit the Company, the Company Board or the Special Committee from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under U.S. federal or state or non-U.S. Law with regard to a Competing Transaction, including (A) disclosure of factual information regarding the business, financial condition or results of operations of the Company and (B) taking and disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to shareholders in connection with the making or amendment of a tender offer or exchange offer); provided, that any such disclosure pursuant to this clause (B) (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or a statement that the Company Board or the Special Committee, as applicable, has received and is currently evaluating such Competing Transaction) that does not include an express rejection of any applicable Competing Transaction or an express reaffirmation of its recommendation in favor of the Transactions shall be deemed to be a Change in the Company Recommendation, or (ii) making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.05         Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)          The indemnification, advancement and exculpation provisions of the indemnification agreements by and between the Company and its directors and officers, as in effect at the Effective Time, shall survive the Merger and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the current or former directors or officers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. The Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Group Companies under (i) any indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation provision set forth in any memorandum and articles of association or comparable organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date of this Agreement, and (ii) all indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any Indemnified Party. The memorandum and articles of association of the Surviving Company shall contain provisions no less favorable to the intended beneficiaries with respect to exculpation and indemnification of liability and advancement of expenses than are set forth in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, and Parent shall cause such provisions not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents of the Company, unless such modification shall be required by Law. From and after the Effective Time, any agreement of any Indemnified Party with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding exculpation or indemnification of liability or advancement of expenses shall be assumed by the Surviving Company, shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.

45

(b)          The Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain in effect for six (6) years from the Effective Time the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions) maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries covering each current or former director or officer and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Indemnified Party”), covered as of the Effective Time, on terms no less favorable than those of such policies in effect on the date hereof; provided, that the Surviving Company may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than those provided under the Company’s current policies; provided, further, that in no event shall the Surviving Company be required to expend pursuant to this ‎Section 6.05(b) more than an amount per year equal to 250% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Annual Premium”), and if the cost of such insurance policy exceeds such amount, then the Surviving Company shall obtain a policy with the greatest coverage for a cost not exceeding such amount. In lieu of maintaining the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies contemplated by this ‎Section 6.05(b), the Company may, at its option, purchase a six (6)-year “tail” prepaid policy prior to the Effective Time on terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company so long as the annual cost of such policy does not exceed the Maximum Annual Premium. If such “tail” prepaid policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, maintain such policies in full force and effect, and continue to honor the respective obligations thereunder, and all other obligations of Parent or Surviving Company under this ‎Section 6.05(b) shall terminate.

(c)          Subject to the terms and conditions of this ‎Section 6.05, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall comply, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to comply, with all of the Company’s obligations, and each of the Surviving Company and Parent shall cause its Subsidiaries to comply with their respective obligations to indemnify and hold harmless (including any obligations to advance funds for expenses) (i) the Indemnified Parties against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened in writing Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (“Damages”), arising out of, relating to or in connection with (x) the fact that an Indemnified Party is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (y) any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred (including acts or omissions with respect to the approval of this Agreement or the Transactions or arising out of or pertaining to the Transactions and actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party) prior to or at the Effective Time, to the extent provided under the Company’s or such Subsidiaries’ respective organizational and governing documents or agreements in effect on the date hereof and to the fullest extent permitted by the CICA or any other applicable Law; provided, that such indemnification shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under applicable Law; and (ii) such Indemnified Parties against any and all Damages arising out of acts or omissions in such persons’ official capacity as an officer, director or other fiduciary in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of, relating to or in connection with any acts or omissions occurring or alleged to occur prior to or at the Effective Time in such Indemnified Party’s capacity as a director, officer or other fiduciary of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

46

(d)         In the event the Company or the Surviving Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company, the Surviving Company, or Parent, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this ‎Section 6.05.

(e)          The agreements and covenants contained in this ‎Section 6.05 shall be in addition to any other rights an Indemnified Party may have under the memorandum and articles of association of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or equivalent constitutional documents), or any agreement between an Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, under the CICA or other applicable Law, or otherwise. The provisions of this ‎Section 6.05 shall survive the consummation of the Merger and are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their heirs and legal representatives, each of which shall be an express third-party beneficiary of the provisions of this ‎Section 6.05. The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Company under this ‎Section 6.05 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnified Party without the consent of such Indemnified Party.

(f)          Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy or other agreement that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors and employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this ‎Section 6.05 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under any such policies.

Section 6.06         Notification of Certain Matters.

Subject to applicable Law, each of the Company and Parent shall promptly notify the other in writing of:

(a)          any notice or other communication from any person alleging that the consent of such person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions;

(b)          any notice or other communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the Transactions;

(c)          any Actions commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company or the knowledge of Parent, threatened in writing, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Parent and any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed by such party pursuant to any of such party’s representations and warranties contained herein, or that relate to such party’s ability to consummate the Transactions; and

(d)          a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement on the part of such party having occurred that would cause the conditions set forth in ‎Section 7.01, ‎Section 7.02 or ‎Section 7.03 not to be satisfied;

47

together, in each case, with a copy of any such notice, communication or Action; provided, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this ‎Section 6.06 shall not cure any breach of, or non-compliance with, any provision of this Agreement, be deemed to amend or supplement the Company Disclosure Schedule, or limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice; provided, further, that failure to give prompt notice pursuant to ‎Section 6.06(d) shall not constitute a failure of a condition to the Merger set forth in ‎Article VII except to the extent that the underlying breach of a representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement not so notified would, standing alone, constitute such a failure.

Section 6.07         Financing.

(a)          Each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing and Equity Financing in a timely manner and as provided in this Agreement, including to (i) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Facility Agreement, (ii) maintain in effect each of the Financing Documents until the Transactions are consummated, (iii) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis all conditions to the closing of and funding under the Financing Documents applicable to Parent or Merger Sub that are within its control, (iv) draw upon and consummate the Debt Financing and Equity Financing at or prior to the Closing, and (v) enforce its rights under the Financing Documents.

(b)          If Parent or Merger Sub becomes aware that any portion of the Debt Financing has become unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Facility Agreement, (i) Parent shall promptly so notify the Company in writing, and (ii) each of Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative debt financing from the same or alternative sources as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event on terms and conditions not less favorable in any material respect, in the aggregate, to Parent and Merger Sub than those contained in the Facility Agreement in an amount, together with the aggregate proceeds of the Equity Financing, sufficient for Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Company to pay (x) the Merger Consideration, and (y) any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions on the terms and conditions contemplated hereby (the “Alternative Financing”); provided, that in no event shall the terms of any Alternative Financing prevent, delay or materially impede or impair the ability of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Parent shall deliver to the Company true and complete copies of all Contracts or other arrangements pursuant to which any alternative sources have committed to provide the Alternative Financing (the “Alternative Financing Documents”) as soon as practicable after execution thereof. In the event Alternative Financing is obtained, any reference in this Agreement to (X) the “Debt Financing” shall be deemed to include the Alternative Financing, and (Y) the “Financing Documents” shall be deemed to include the Alternative Financing Documents. In the event any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Documents and to the extent is not replaced by the Alternative Financing, Parent shall promptly notify the Company.

48

(c)          Neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall agree to or permit any amendments or modifications to, or waivers of, any condition or other provision under any Financing Document without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if such amendments, modifications or waivers would (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing below an amount necessary for Parent, Merger Sub and the Surviving Company to pay (A) the Merger Consideration, and (B) any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions upon the terms and conditions contemplated hereby and all related fees and expenses associated therewith (in each case, it being understood that the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing may be reduced so long as the Equity Financing or the Debt Financing, as applicable, is increased by a corresponding amount) or (y) impose new or additional conditions to the Debt Financing or Equity Financing or otherwise expand, amend or modify the Debt Financing or Equity Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) prevent or delay the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to consummate the Transactions or (B) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Parent or Merger Sub to enforce its rights against the other parties to any Financing Document; provided, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled from time to time to amend, restate, supplement, replace, substitute or otherwise modify, or waive any of its rights under, the documents related to Debt Financing and/or replace or substitute other debt financing for all or any portion of the Debt Financing from the same and/or alternative debt financing sources, subject to (i) subclauses (x) and (y) above and Section 6.07(b); and (ii) after such amendments, restatements, supplements, replacements, substitutions or modifications, the terms and conditions of the Debt Financing being not less favorable in any material respect to Parent and Merger Sub than those contained in the Facility Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly provide to the Company any amendments, restatements, supplements, replacements, substitutions or modifications to the Financing Documents (other than any customary fee letters). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall release or consent to the termination of the obligations of the other parties to any Financing Document, except as expressly contemplated hereby.

Section 9.08         Specific Performance.

(a)          Subject to ‎Section 9.08(b) and ‎Section 9.08(c), the parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with the terms hereof by the parties hereto, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damages. Accordingly, subject to ‎Section 9.08(b) and ‎Section 9.08(c), the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent or Merger Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company (acting at the direction of the Special Committee), on the other hand, shall each be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof (including the obligation of the parties hereto to consummate the Merger, subject in each case to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), including an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by any party, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligation of Parent to consummate the Transactions and the Company’s right to seek or obtain an injunction or injunctions, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, in each case, with respect to causing Parent and/or Merger Sub to cause the Equity Financing to be funded at any time and/or to effect the Closing in accordance with ‎Section 1.02, on the terms and subject to the conditions in this Agreement, shall be subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions: (i) all conditions in ‎Section 7.01 and ‎Section 7.02 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, if permissible, waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) Parent is required to complete the Closing pursuant to ‎Section 1.02 and Parent fails to complete the Closing by the date the Closing is required to have occurred pursuant to ‎Section 1.02, (iii) the Debt Financing or the Alternative Financing has been funded in full or will be funded in full at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, and (iv) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing that (A) all conditions set forth in ‎Section 7.03 have been satisfied or that it is waiving any of the conditions to the extent not so satisfied in ‎Section 7.03 (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at the Closing), and (B) if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then it would take such actions required of it by this Agreement to cause the Closing to occur. In no event shall the Company be entitled to specific performance to cause Parent or Merger Sub to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to effect the Closing in accordance with ‎Section 1.02 if the Debt Financing or the Alternative Financing has not been funded in full (or will not be funded in full at the Closing even if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing).

77

(c)          Each party waives (i) any defenses in any action for an injunction or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate, and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining an injunction or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) while the parties hereto may pursue both a grant of specific performance pursuant to this Section 9.08 to the extent permitted hereunder and the payment of the amounts set forth in ‎Section 8.06, neither Parent and Merger Sub, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, shall be permitted or entitled to receive both a grant of specific performance that results in a Closing and payment of such amounts set forth in ‎Section 8.06, and (y) upon the payment of such amounts set forth in ‎Section 8.06, the remedy of specific performance shall not be available against the party making such payment and, if such party is Parent or Merger Sub, any other member of the Parent Group or, if such party is the Company, any other member of the Company Group.
