(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Elected Cash Consideration is less than the Maximum Cash Amount (such difference being the “Shortfall Amount”), then:

(i) all Cash Election Shares shall be exchanged for the Cash Consideration; and

(ii) all Stock Election Shares and No Election Shares shall be treated in the following manner: (A) if the Shortfall Amount is less than or equal to the product of the aggregate number of No Election Shares and the Cash Consideration (the “No Election Value”), then (1) all Stock Election Shares shall be exchanged for the Stock Consideration and (2) the No Election Shares of each holder of Shares shall be exchanged for the Cash Consideration in respect of that number of No Election Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of No Election Shares of such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Shortfall Amount and the denominator of which is the No Election Value, with the remaining portion of such holder’s No Election Shares (if any) being exchanged for the Stock Consideration or (B) if the Shortfall Amount exceeds the No Election Value, then (1) all No Election Shares will be exchanged for the Cash Consideration and (2) a portion of the Stock Election Shares of each holder of Shares will be exchanged for the Cash Consideration, with such portion being equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Stock Election Shares of such holder by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount by which the Shortfall Amount exceeds the No Election Value, and the denominator of which is the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of Stock Election Shares by the Cash Consideration, with the remaining portion of such holder’s Stock Election Shares being exchanged for the Stock Consideration.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Elected Cash Consideration equals the Maximum Cash Amount, then:

(i) all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration; and

(g) Unless the properly completed Election Form provides otherwise, for all purposes of this Section 2.05 and in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.358-2(a)(2)(ii), (i) a holder will be treated as having surrendered, in exchange for the total amount of the Cash Consideration, if any, to be paid to such holder under this Section 2.05 (with respect to a holder, the “Cash Portion”), the number of Company Ordinary Shares owned by such holder as to which such holder has a right to receive cash pursuant to this Section 2.05; and (ii) for purposes of clause (i), the Certificates surrendered by a holder in exchange for such holder’s Cash Portion will be deemed to be: (A) first, of those Certificates evidencing shares held by such holder for more than one year before the Mergers within the meaning of Section 1223 of the Code, if any, those Certificates with the highest U.S. federal income tax basis, in descending order until such Certificates are exhausted or the Cash Portion for such holder is fully paid, then (B) of all other of such holder’s Certificates, those Certificates with the highest U.S. federal income tax basis, in descending order until the Cash Portion for such holder is fully paid.

(b) Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each unvested Company Stock Option, whether time or performance-based, shall be converted to a Company Stock Option that vests solely based on the passage of time without any ongoing performance-vesting conditions (the “Adjusted Company Stock Option”); provided, that (i) with respect to performance vesting conditions tied to the achievement of Company stock price goals, the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to each such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be the number of Company Ordinary Shares that would performance vest upon the achievement of a per Company Ordinary Share price equal to the greater of (x) the Cash Consideration or (y) the Company’s stock price achieved at or prior to the First Effective Time as calculated in accordance with the terms of the Company Equity Plan; and (ii) with respect to performance vesting conditions tied to the achievement of Company return on equity (XXX) or other performance objectives that are not tied to Company stock price, the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to each such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be the number of Company Ordinary Shares that would performance vest upon the achievement of such performance objectives. In addition, with respect to the

Company Stock Options granted prior to January 1, 2020 only, immediately prior to the First Effective Time, (I) for purposes of determining the number of such outstanding Company Stock Options that will be deemed to be vested as of the First Effective Time, each holder will be credited as though the holder had served a number of days in the applicable vesting period that is equal to two (2) times the number of days that have elapsed between the grant date of such Company Stock Option and the date on which the First Effective Time occurs and (II) each remaining vesting date for each such unvested Adjusted Company Stock Option shall be moved to an earlier date calculated from the grant date of such unvested Adjusted Company Stock Option as follows: the number of days between the grant date of such Company Stock Option and the original vesting date, minus the number of days that have elapsed between the grant date of such Company Stock Option and the date on which the First Effective Time occurs.

(c) At the First Effective Time, each vested Company Stock Option and each unvested Adjusted Company Stock Option, in each case, which is outstanding at the First Effective Time shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cease to represent an option to purchase Company Ordinary Shares and be converted into an option to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (such option, a “Converted Stock Option”) equal to the product (with the result rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to each such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (A) the exercise price per Company Ordinary Share of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time divided by (B) the Exchange Ratio; provided, however, that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Common Stock purchasable pursuant to the Converted Stock Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Except as specifically provided in this Section 2.06, immediately following the First Effective Time, each Converted Stock Option shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting, forfeiture and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Stock Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time, provided that any unvested Converted Stock Options shall be subject to the accelerated vesting as contemplated by the terms of the corresponding Company Stock Option in respect of an involuntary termination of the holder’s service relationship within two (2) years following the Closing Date.

(d) Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, each unvested Company Phantom Unit, whether time or performance-based, shall be converted to a Company Phantom Unit that vests solely based on the passage of time without any ongoing performance-vesting conditions (the “Adjusted Company Phantom Unit”); provided, that (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to an Adjusted Company Phantom Unit immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be determined assuming achievement of target level of performance. In addition, with respect to the Company Phantom Units granted prior to January 1, 2020 only, immediately prior to the First Effective Time, (I) for purposes of determining the number of such outstanding Company Phantom Units that will be deemed to be vested as of the First Effective Time, each holder will be credited as though the holder had served a number of days in the applicable vesting period that is equal to two (2) times the number of days that have elapsed between the grant date of such Company Phantom Unit and the date on which the First Effective Time occurs and (II) each remaining vesting date for each such unvested Adjusted Company Phantom Unit

shall be moved to an earlier date calculated from the grant date of such unvested Adjusted Company Phantom Unit as follows: the number of days between the grant date of such Company Phantom Unit and the original vesting date, minus the number of days that have elapsed between the grant date of such Company Phantom Unit and the date on which the First Effective Time occurs.

(e) At the First Effective Time, each vested Company Phantom Unit and each unvested Adjusted Company Phantom Unit, in each case, which is outstanding at the First Effective Time shall cease to represent a phantom stock unit denominated in Company Ordinary Shares and be converted into a phantom stock unit denominated in shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Parent Phantom Unit”) entitling the holder to receive the number of Parent Phantom Units equal to the product (with the result rounded to the nearest two decimal places) of (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares subject to each such Company Phantom Unit immediately prior to the First Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided in this Section 2.06, immediately following the First Effective Time, each Parent Phantom Unit shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting, forfeiture and exercisability terms) as were applicable to the corresponding Company Phantom Unit immediately prior to the First Effective Time, provided, that, (i) any unvested Parent Phantom Units shall be subject to the accelerated vesting as contemplated by the terms of the corresponding Company Phantom Unit in respect of an involuntary termination of the holder’s service relationship within two (2) years following the Closing Date; and (ii) to the extent a payment pursuant in this Section 2.06 would trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be made on the earliest date that payment would not trigger such Tax or penalty.

(f) Prior to the First Effective Time, the board of directors of the Company shall, and shall cause the Company to, take any and all actions necessary or appropriate (under the Company Equity Plans, applicable Law, the applicable award agreements or otherwise) to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.06 and to ensure that, from and after the First Effective Time, each holder of Company Restricted Stock Rights shall have no rights with respect to any cancelled Company Restricted Stock Rights, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration with respect thereto, and each holder of Company Stock Options or Company Phantom Units shall have no rights with respect to any converted Company Stock Options or Company Phantom Units, except the right to receive a grant of Converted Stock Options or Parent Phantom Units, respectively. Parent shall file with the SEC, as soon as practicable following the First Effective Time, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form or other appropriate form) or Form S-3 (or any successor form or other appropriate form), to the extent such forms are available, relating to such Parent Common Stock.

Section 2.07 Treatment of Company Preferred Shares.

(a) Each Series A Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall occur immediately following the purchase of such Series A Shares by the Parent pursuant to the Series A Preferred Share Purchase Agreement) shall be surrendered for no consideration, canceled and cease to exist and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto.

(b) Each Series B Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be canceled and shall, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action the part of the holder thereof, be converted automatically into the right to receive a number of validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) the Liquidation Preference (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation) in respect of such Series B Shares as of the First Effective Time divided by (ii) the Reference Parent Common Stock Price.

Section 2.08 Treatment of Company Warrants. At the First Effective Time, each Company Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall, as of the First Effective Time, automatically and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to purchase and receive upon exercise thereof, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in such Company Warrant and in lieu of the Company Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the Merger Consideration that the holder of such Company Warrant would have received if such holder had exercised such Company Warrant immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

Section 2.09 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Dissenting Shares shall not be not be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.04(a), but instead at the First Effective Time the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 238 of the CICL and such Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to dissent under Section 238 of the CICL, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under Section 238 of the CICL shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the First Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.04(a), without interest or any other payments. The Company shall serve prompt notice to Parent of any notices of objection, notices of dissent or demands for fair value under Section 238 of the CICL of any of the Shares, attempted withdrawals of such notices or demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the CICL and received by the Company, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such notices and demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), or as otherwise required under the CICL, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such notices or demands, or agree to do or commit to do any of the foregoing. In the event that any written notices of objection to the First Merger are served by any Company Shareholder pursuant to Section 238(2) and in accordance with Section 238(3) of the CICL, the Company shall serve written notice of the authorization of the First Merger on such Company Shareholders pursuant to Section 238(4) of the CICL within twenty (20) days of the approval of this Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated hereby by the Company Required Vote.

Section 2.10 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities of a Subsidiary of Parent or the Company or of securities convertible into Parent Common Stock or Company Ordinary Shares), capitalization, extraordinary cash dividends, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Ordinary Shares with a record date occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the First Effective Time; provided that this Section 2.10 shall not operate as a waiver or modification of any obligation of the Company or Parent set forth in Section 6.01 or Section 6.02, respectively.

Section 2.11 Intended Tax Treatment of the Mergers. The Mergers are intended to be treated as a single integrated transaction for U.S. federal income Tax purposes that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a).

ARTICLE III

EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 3.01 Exchange Agent. Prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company) with the Exchange Agent to act as exchange agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the Certificates pursuant to this Article III, in the case of certificated Shares, and automatically, in the case of Book-Entry Shares. Immediately prior to the First Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Exchange Agent (a) cash in the aggregate amount required to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration and (b) book-entry shares representing the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock required to pay the Stock Consideration, in each case, in respect of the Shares (such cash amount and shares being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall be used solely for purposes of paying the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Article III and shall not be used to satisfy any other obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Pending distribution of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Article III, Parent may direct the Exchange Agent to invest the cash in the Exchange Fund; provided, that (i) no such investment or losses thereon shall affect the Merger Consideration payable to the Company Shareholders and following any losses Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the Company Shareholders in the amount of any such losses and (ii) such investments (A) shall be obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America, commercial paper obligations receiving the highest rating from either Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, or certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or bankers acceptances of domestic commercial banks with capital exceeding $5,000,000,000 (collectively “Permitted Investments”) or money market funds that are invested solely in Permitted Investments and (B) shall have maturities that will not prevent or delay payments to be made pursuant to this Article III. Any income from investment of the Exchange Fund will be payable solely to Parent. The Surviving Company shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares for the Merger Consideration.

Section 3.02 Exchange Procedures.

(a) As promptly as practicable and in any event within two (2) Business Days after the First Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates that, immediately prior to the First Effective Time, represented outstanding Shares subsequently converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, as set forth in Section 2.04 (i) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) that (A) shall specify that delivery shall be effected and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof, together with any bond or indemnity agreement, as contemplated by Section 3.06) and (B) shall be in such form and have such other provisions as the Surviving Company may specify, subject to the Company’s reasonable approval (to be sought prior to the First Effective Time) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration.

(b) Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with a Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and executed, and any other documents reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Company, (i) the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.04 and (ii) the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. No interest will be paid or accrued on the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of the Certificates. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.02, each such Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the First Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained 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 Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III. In lieu thereof, each holder of record of one or more Book-Entry Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall automatically upon the First Effective Time (or, at any later time at which such Book-Entry Shares shall be so converted) be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as practicable and in any event within three (3) Business Days after the First Effective Time, the Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article III.

(d) In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the appropriate amount of the Merger Consideration may be paid to a transferee if the Certificate representing such Shares is presented to the Exchange Agent properly endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers and otherwise in proper form for transfer and accompanied by all documents reasonably required by the Exchange Agent to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable Taxes have been paid.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the First Merger and no dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be payable on or with respect to any fractional share and no such fractional share will entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a shareholder of Parent. As promptly as practicable after the First

Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, acting as agent for the holders of Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock, shall aggregate all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be issued pursuant to Section 2.04 and cause them to be sold on the New York Stock Exchange at then-prevailing prices and, in lieu of the issuance of any such fractional share, any holder of Shares who would otherwise have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock shall have the right to receive an amount equal such holder’s proportionate interest in the net proceeds from the sale by the Exchange Agent of shares of such Parent Common Stock, rounded to the nearest xxxxx, without interest.

Section 3.03 No Further Ownership Rights. All Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of the Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof, in the case of certificated Shares, or automatically, in the case of Book-Entry Shares shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Shares and, after the First Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the transfer books of the Surviving Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to the Surviving Company for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III, subject to applicable Law in the case of Dissenting Shares.

Section 3.04 Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including any interest and other income received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the former Company Shareholders on the date twelve (12) months after the First Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any former holder of Shares who has not theretofore received any applicable Merger Consideration to which such Company Shareholder is entitled under this Article III shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of claims with respect thereto.

Section 3.05 No Liability. None of Parent, the Surviving Company, the Final Surviving Company, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II or any of their respective Representatives shall be liable to any holder of Shares for any part of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such Shares two (2) years after the First Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law or Order, become the property of Parent free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.06 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by and at the discretion of Parent or the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Surviving Company may direct, or the execution and delivery by such Person of an indemnity agreement in such form as Parent or the Surviving Company may direct, in each case as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the appropriate amount of the Merger Consideration.

Section 3.07 Withholding of Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent, the Surviving Company, any Affiliate thereof or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Dissenting Shares, Company Stock Options, Company Phantom Units, Company Restricted Stock Rights and Company Warrants, such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Company, any Affiliate thereof or the Exchange Agent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent, the Surviving Company, any Affiliate thereof, or the Exchange Agent are paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law or Order, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent, the Surviving Company, any Affiliate thereof, or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

Section 3.08 Fair Value. Parent, Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and the Company respectively agree that the Merger Consideration represents not less than the fair value of the Shares for the purposes of Section 238(8) of the CICL.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time following the Go-Shop Period End Date and prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal that did not result from a material breach of Section 6.07(b), if the Company Special Committee determines after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, the Company may (and may authorize and permit its Subsidiaries and Representatives to), subject to compliance with Section 6.07(f), (i) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a confidentiality agreement not less restrictive with respect to terms regarding confidentiality with respect to the Person making such Takeover Proposal than those set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement are to Parent; provided that all such material information has previously been provided to Parent or is provided to Parent prior to or substantially concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person, and (ii) participate in discussions and negotiations with the Person making such Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Takeover Proposal, if and only to the extent that in connection with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Company Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of directors under the Laws of the Cayman Islands. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 6.07 to the contrary, following the Go-Shop Period, any Excluded Party shall cease to be an Excluded Party for all purposes under this Agreement (A) if the Takeover Proposal made by such Excluded Party is determined by the Company Special Committee that it could not reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and such Excluded Party does not deliver to the Company Special Committee (or its Representatives) within three (3) Business Days of such determination by the Company Special Committee an updated or revised Takeover Proposal that the Company Special Committee determines is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal, following such third (3^rd) Business Day or (B) at such time as the Takeover Proposal made by such Excluded Party is withdrawn, terminates or expires by its terms.

(d) Subject to Section 6.07(e), the Company Special Committee shall not (i)(A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), or publicly propose to withdraw or withhold (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the Company Recommendation, (B) recommend or endorse the approval or adoption of, or approve or adopt, or publicly propose to recommend, endorse, approve or adopt, any Takeover Proposal or (C) approve or recommend, or publicly propose to approve or recommend, any Takeover Proposal Documentation (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”; it being understood that any “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change) or (ii) cause to permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into any Takeover Proposal Documentation.

(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Required Vote, the Company Special Committee may, if, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel, it determines that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of directors under the Laws of the Cayman Islands, (x) make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response of a Change in Circumstance, (y) make an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal or (z) cause or permit the Company to terminate this Agreement in order to enter into any Takeover Proposal Documentation regarding a Superior Proposal, if and only if:

(i) the Company shall have given Parent notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such Adverse Recommendation Change or causing or permitting the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (z) above, which notice shall include (A) the most current version of any proposed written agreement, or if there is no such proposed written agreement, a reasonable description of the material terms and conditions of any Superior Proposal that is the basis of the proposed action by the Company Special Committee (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and an additional two (2) Business Day period prior to taking any specified action) or (B) the material event or development or material change in circumstance constituting such Change in Circumstance;

(ii) the Company has and has caused its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to make themselves available to negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives during the period referred to in clause (i) above in order to permit Parent to propose one or more amendments to this Agreement that would result in such Takeover Proposal ceasing to constitute a Superior Proposal or such other matter no longer constituting a Change in Circumstance; and

(iii) after considering any proposed binding offers to amend this Agreement committed to in writing by Parent during the period referred to in clause (i) above, if any, the Company Special Committee shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside counsel, that the failure to make the Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Superior Proposal or Change in Circumstance or cause or permit the Company to terminate this Agreement in response to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of directors under the Laws of the Cayman Islands.

(f) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 6.07(a), Section 6.07(b) and Section 6.07(c), the Company shall (i) as promptly as practicable advise Parent of any Takeover Proposal received by the Company following the Go-Shop Period End Date, the material terms and conditions of any such Takeover Proposal and the identity of the Person making any such Takeover Proposal and (ii) subject to the fiduciary duties of directors under the Laws of the Cayman Islands, keep Parent reasonably informed of any material developments with respect to any such Takeover Proposal described in clause (i) above (including any material changes thereto).

(e) The Company shall take all actions, including through resolutions of the board of directors (or a duly constituted and authorized committee thereof or other appropriate governing body) of the Company or it applicable Subsidiary, that may be necessary or appropriate to cause any Benefit Plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code (including any plan intended to qualify under 401(k) of the Code) (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) to terminate effective on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date, with such termination being contingent on the Closing.

Furthermore, each of Parent, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II acknowledges, understands and agrees that no fact, condition, development or issue relating to the adequacy or sufficiency of reserves may be used, directly or indirectly, to demonstrate or support the breach or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of or by the Company or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument delivered or to be delivered in connection herewith.

Section 9.11 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by the Delaware Courts or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.12 Parent Undertaking.
