ARTICLE I

CLOSING; CERTIFICATE OF MERGER AND EFFECTIVE TIME; THE MERGER

1.1 Closing. The Closing shall take place by electronic exchange of signatures at 8:00 a.m. (New York time) on the tenth Business Day following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, waiver of those conditions) or at such other date, time and place as the Parties may agree in writing.

1.2 Merger Effective Time. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, the Company, Public Parent, Parent and Merger Sub will (a) on the Closing Date, execute and deliver the Statutory Merger Agreement, (b) on or prior to the Closing Date, cause an application for registration of the Surviving Company (the “Merger Application”) to be executed and delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda (the “Registrar”) as provided under Section 108 of the Companies Act and to be accompanied by the documents required by Section 108(2) of the Companies Act and (c) cause to be included in the Merger Application a request that the Registrar issue the certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) on the Closing Date at the time of day mutually agreed upon by the Company, Public Parent and Parent and set forth in the Merger Application. The Merger shall become effective upon the issuance of the Certificate of Merger by the Registrar at the time and date shown on the Certificate of Merger (such time as the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time”).

1.3 The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, and pursuant to Section 104H of the Companies Act, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall thereupon cease, and the Company shall be the surviving company in the Merger (such surviving company, the “Surviving Company”).

1.4 Effects of Merger. From and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement and Section 109(2) of the Companies Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) the Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Merger shall be effected so as to constitute a “merger” as such term is understood under the Companies Act and (ii) the Surviving Company shall be deemed to be a “surviving company” in accordance with Section 104H of the Companies Act;

(c) the Certificate of Merger shall be deemed to be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Company; provided, however, the date of incorporation of the Company and Merger Sub shall be their respective original dates of incorporation and the Merger shall not alter such original dates of incorporation.

1.5 Closing Funds. No later than 10 Business Days prior to Closing, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate to agree on the use of any cash available to the Company or its Subsidiaries (including cash on hand and cash available from any then-existing credit facility) for the payment at Closing of all or a portion of the Company expenses due at Closing (including expenses of advisors of the Company) or the funding of a portion of the Merger Consideration. The Parties agree to document any such cash uses in a Closing flow of funds, which shall include details regarding the applicable Company payor, the payee, and related account information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate in good faith with a view to making such payments in a tax-efficient manner.

ARTICLE II

MEMORANDUM OF ASSOCIATION, BYE-LAWS, DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS OF THE SURVIVING COMPANY

2.1 Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws of the Surviving Company.

(a) At the Effective Time, the memorandum of association of the Surviving Company shall be amended to be in substantially the form of the memorandum of association of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (save that the name of the Surviving Company shall remain as “Triton International Limited”) until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or pursuant to applicable Law (in each case, subject to Section 8.13).

(b) At the Effective Time, the bye-laws of the Surviving Company shall be the bye-laws of the Company as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or pursuant to applicable Law (in each case, subject to Section 8.13).

ARTICLE III

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON SHARE CAPITAL; DELIVERY OF MERGER CONSIDERATION

3.1 Effect of the Merger on Share Capital. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Shares or any Company Preference Shares or on the part of the sole shareholder of Merger Sub:

(a) Merger Consideration. Each Eligible Share shall be canceled and shall be converted automatically into, at the election of the holder as provided in and subject to Section 3.2, the right to receive either (i) the Per Share Mixed Consideration, (ii) the Per Share Stock Consideration or (iii) the Per Share Cash Consideration (together, the “Merger Consideration”) payable, without interest and subject to the applicable Tax withholding, to the holder of such Eligible Share, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.4(b), of the Certificate or book-entry account that formerly evidenced such Share.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, each of the following terms has the meaning set forth below:

“Aggregate Consideration” means the sum of (x) Total Stock Value and (y) Total Cash Amount.

“Aggregate Consideration Per Share” means the quotient rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, obtained by dividing the Aggregate Consideration by the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

“Exchange Ratio” means the quotient, rounded to the nearest ten-thousandth, obtained by dividing the Aggregate Consideration Per Share by the Final Public Parent Stock Price.

“Final Public Parent Stock Price” means the volume-weighted average sales price per Public Parent Share on the NYSE, as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP under the function “VWAP” (or, if not available, in another authoritative source mutually selected by the Company, Parent and Public Parent), over the ten consecutive trading days ending on the second trading day immediately prior to the Effective Time.

“Per Share Public Parent Stock Amount” means the quotient obtained by dividing $16.50 by the Final Public Parent Stock Price; provided that (x) if the Final Public Parent Stock Price is less than or equal to $42.36, then the Per Share Public Parent Stock Amount shall be deemed to be 0.3895 and (y) if the Final Public Parent Stock Price is greater than or equal to $49.23, then the Per Share Public Parent Stock Amount shall be deemed to be 0.3352.

“Per Share Cash Consideration” means cash in an amount equal to the Aggregate Consideration Per Share.

“Per Share Mixed Consideration” means (i) cash in an amount equal to $68.50 and (ii) a number of Public Parent Shares (which may not need be a whole number) equal to the Per Share Public Parent Stock Amount.

“Per Share Stock Consideration” means a number of Public Parent Shares (which need not be a whole number) equal to the Exchange Ratio.

“Total Cash Amount” means the product obtained by multiplying (x) $68.50 by (y) the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

“Total Stock” means a number of Public Parent Shares equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Per Share Public Parent Stock Amount by (y) the total number of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

“Total Stock Value” means the product obtained by multiplying (x) the Total Stock by (y) the Final Public Parent Stock Price.

(c) Treatment of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share, other than Dissenting Shares which are addressed in Section 3.3(f), shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(d) Merger Sub. Each common share of Merger Sub, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one common share of the Surviving Company, par value $0.01 per share, and together with the preference shares of the Surviving Company as described in Section 3.1(e) and the Surviving Company Common Shares described in Section 3.6, shall constitute the only outstanding share capital of the Surviving Company as of immediately after the Effective Time.

(e) Company Preference Shares. Subject to Section 3.3(f), each Company Preference Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding as a preference share of the Surviving Company and shall be entitled to the same dividend and all other preferences and privileges, voting rights, relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions set forth in the certificate of designations applicable to each series of Company Preference Shares, and each certificate of designation shall remain at and following the Effective Time in full force and effect as an obligation of the Surviving Company in accordance with Section 109(2) of the Companies Act.

3.2 Election Procedures; Allocation of Merger Consideration.

(a) An election form, including appropriate and customary transmittal materials in such form as Public Parent and Parent shall specify and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Election Form”) shall be mailed not less than 20 Business Days prior to the anticipated Election Deadline (the date on which such mailing is commenced, the “Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Shares as of the fifth Business Day prior to the Mailing Date (the “Election Form Record Date”).

(b) Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions), other than any holder of Dissenting Shares, to specify (i) the number of Eligible Shares of such holder with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Mixed Consideration (“Mixed Election Shares”), (ii) the number of Eligible Shares of such holder with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration (“Stock Election Shares”), (iii) the number of Eligible Shares of such holder with respect to which such holder elects to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration (“Cash Election Shares”) or (iv) that such holder makes no election with respect to such holder’s Eligible Shares (“Non-Election Shares”). Any Eligible Share with respect to which the Exchange Agent has not received an effective, properly completed Election Form on or before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the date that is two trading days prior to the Closing Date (or such other time and date as the Company, Public Parent and Parent shall agree) (the “Election Deadline”) shall also be deemed to be Non-Election Shares. Public Parent, Parent and the Company shall cooperate to issue a press release reasonably satisfactory to each of them announcing the date of the Election Deadline not more than 10 nor fewer than four Business Days prior to the Election Deadline.

(c) Public Parent and Parent shall make available one or more Election Forms as promptly as practicable in response to any request from time to time by all Persons who become holders of the Shares between the Election Form Record Date and the Election Deadline, and prior to Closing the Company shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform as specified herein.

(d) To be effective, a properly completed Election Form must be received by the Exchange Agent by the Election Deadline. An Election Form shall be deemed properly completed only if accompanied by (i) one or more Certificates (or customary affidavits and indemnification regarding the loss or destruction of such Certificates or the guaranteed delivery of such Certificates) representing all certificated Shares covered by such Election Form or (ii) in the case of Book-Entry Shares, any additional documents specified by the procedures set forth in the Election Form, together with duly executed transmittal materials included in the Election Form. Any Election Form may be revoked or changed by the Person submitting such Election Form prior to the Election Deadline. In the event an Election Form is revoked prior to the Election Deadline, the Shares represented by such Election Form shall become Non-Election Shares and Public Parent and Parent shall cause the Certificates, if any, representing such Shares to be promptly returned without charge to the person submitting the Election Form upon written request to that effect from the holder who submitted the Election Form, except to the extent (if any) a subsequent election is properly made with respect to any or all of the applicable Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and of the Election Form, the Exchange Agent shall have reasonable discretion to determine whether any election, revocation or change has been properly or timely made and to disregard immaterial defects in the Election Forms, and any good faith decisions of the Exchange Agent regarding such matters shall be binding and conclusive. None of Public Parent, Parent, Merger Sub or the Exchange Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any Person of any defect in an Election Form.

(e) Public Parent and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to allocate among the holders of the Shares with rights to receive Merger Consideration in accordance with the Election Form as follows:

(i) all Mixed Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Mixed Consideration;

(ii) Cash Election Shares for more than Total Cash Amount. If the sum of (x) the product obtained by multiplying (1) the Mixed Election Shares by (2) $68.50, plus (y) the product obtained by multiplying (1) the Cash Election Shares by (2) the Per Share Cash Consideration is greater than the Total Cash Amount, then:

(A) all Non-Election Shares and all Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration;

(B) the Exchange Agent shall then select from among the Cash Election Shares, pro rata to the holders of Cash Election Shares in accordance with their respective numbers of Cash Election Shares (except as provided in the last paragraph of this Section 3.2(e)), a sufficient number of shares (“Stock Designated Shares”) such that the aggregate cash amount that will be paid in the Merger equals as closely as practicable the Total Cash Amount, and all Stock Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration; and

(C) the Cash Election Shares that are not Stock Designated Shares will be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration.

(iii) Cash Election Shares for less than Total Cash Amount. If the sum of (x) the product obtained by multiplying (1) the Mixed Election Shares by (2) $68.50, plus (y) the product obtained by multiplying (1) the Cash Election Shares by (2) the Per Share Cash Consideration is less than the Total Cash Amount, then:

(A) all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration;

(B) the Exchange Agent shall then select first from among the Non-Election Shares and then (if necessary) from among the Stock Election Shares, in each case pro rata to the holders of Non-Election Shares or Stock Election Shares, as the case may be, in accordance with their respective numbers of Non-Election Shares or Stock Election Shares, as the case may be, a sufficient number of shares (“Cash Designated Shares”) such that the aggregate cash amount that will be paid in the Merger equals as closely as practicable the Total Cash Amount, and all Cash Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration; and

(C) the Non-Election Shares and (if necessary) the Stock Election Shares that are not Cash Designated Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

(iv) Cash Election Shares equal to Total Cash Amount. If the sum of (x) the product obtained by multiplying (1) the Mixed Election Shares by (2) $68.50, plus (y) the product obtained by multiplying (1) the Cash Election Shares by (2) the Per Share Cash Consideration is equal to the Total Cash Amount, then subparagraphs (ii) and (iii) above shall not apply and all Cash Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Cash Consideration and all Stock Election Shares and Non-Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Per Share Stock Consideration.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, for purposes of determining the allocations set forth in this Section 3.2, Public Parent and Parent shall cause any Shares that constitute Dissenting Shares as of the Election Deadline to be treated as Cash Election Shares not subject to the pro rata selection process contemplated by this Section 3.2, and any Dissenting Shares that receive the Merger Consideration to be treated as Cash Election Shares not subject to the pro rata selection process contemplated by this Section 3.2.

(f) The pro rata selection process to be used by the Exchange Agent shall consist of such equitable pro ration processes as shall be mutually determined by Public Parent, Parent and the Company.

3.3 Exchange of Eligible Shares and Delivery of Merger Consideration.

(a) Deposit of Merger Consideration and Exchange Agent.

(i) As promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, but on the Closing Date, (A) Public Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, a sufficient number of Public Parent Shares (whether represented in certificated or non-certificated direct registration form) to be issued as Per Share Stock Consideration pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or 3.2(e), as applicable, and (B) Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, an amount in cash in immediately available funds sufficient to make payments of (x) the Total Cash Amount, (y) Fractional Share Consideration, if any, and (z) any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 3.3(h), if any, in each case, in respect of the Eligible Shares (such Public Parent Shares and cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(ii) Pursuant to the Exchange Agent Agreement, among other things, the Exchange Agent shall (A) act as the exchange agent for the issuance or payment, as applicable, and delivery of the Merger Consideration and (B) invest the cash portion of the Exchange Fund, if and as directed by Public Parent and Parent. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level sufficient to make prompt payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration as contemplated by Section 3.1(a) or 3.2(e), as applicable, or to the extent the Exchange Fund is not sufficient to make prompt payment and delivery of the Merger Consideration in respect of any Dissenting Shares that become Eligible Shares pursuant to Section 3.3(f)(i), Parent shall promptly deposit or cause to be deposited such additional amounts in cash in immediately available funds with the Exchange Agent for the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all relevant times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments. Any interest and other income resulting from such

investment (if any) in excess of the amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.3(b) and Section 3.3(c) shall be promptly returned to Parent or the Surviving Company, as determined by Public Parent and Parent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agent Agreement.

(b) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date (but in any event within three Business Days thereafter), Public Parent and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail or otherwise provide each holder of record of Eligible Shares that are (A) Certificates or (B) Book-Entry Shares not held, directly or indirectly, through DTC notice advising such holders of the effectiveness of the Merger, which notice shall include (1) appropriate transmittal materials (including a customary letter of transmittal) specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates or such Book-Entry Shares shall pass only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates, as provided in Section 3.3(e)) or the surrender of such Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent (which shall be deemed to have been effected upon the delivery of a customary “agent’s message” with respect to such Book-Entry Shares or such other reasonable evidence, if any, of such surrender as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agent Agreement), as applicable (such materials to be in such form and have such other provisions as Public Parent, Parent and the Company may reasonably agree), and (2) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates, as provided in Section 3.3(e)) or such Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent in exchange for the Merger Consideration, including the Fractional Share Consideration, if any, and dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 3.3(h), if any, that such holder is entitled to receive as a result of the Merger pursuant to this Article III.

Section 3.1(e). Any holder of Dissenting Shares shall, in the event that the fair value of a Dissenting Share as appraised by the Supreme Court of Bermuda under Section 106(6) of the Companies Act (the “Appraised Fair Value”) is greater than the Per Share Cash Consideration with respect to Shares or the value of the preference shares of the Surviving Company as described in Section 3.1(e) with respect to Company Preference Shares, be entitled to receive such difference from the Surviving Company by payment made within one (1) month after such Appraised Fair Value is finally determined pursuant to such appraisal procedure.

(ii) In the event that a holder fails to exercise, effectively withdraws or otherwise waives any right to appraisal (each, an “Appraisal Withdrawal”), such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time into, with respect to Dissenting Shares that are Shares, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as Non-Election Shares for each such Share, and with respect to Dissenting Shares that are Company Preference Shares, preferred shares of the Surviving Company as described in Section 3.1(e), without interest and subject to any required withholding of Taxes as provided in Section 3.3(i).

The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Public Parent and Parent, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, offer to settle or settle any such demands or applications, or waive any failure to timely deliver a written demand for appraisal or to timely take any other action to exercise appraisal rights in accordance with the Companies Act.

(g) Fractional Shares.

(i) No certificates, receipts or scrip representing fractional Public Parent Shares will be issued upon the surrender or transfer for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, no dividend or distribution of Public Parent will relate to such fractional Public Parent Shares, and such fractional Public Parent Shares will not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any rights of a holder of Public Parent Shares.

(ii) Public Parent and Parent shall pay to the Exchange Agent an amount in cash to be deposited promptly following the Effective Time, sufficient for the Exchange Agent to pay each holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares an amount in cash (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the product of (1) the fraction of a Public Parent Share (rounded to the nearest thousandth when expressed in decimal form) to which such holder (taking into account all fractional Public Parent Shares to be received by such holder) would otherwise have been entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or 3.2(e), as applicable, multiplied by (2) the Final Public Parent Stock Price (the “Fractional Share Consideration”).

(h) Dividends or Distributions with Respect to Public Parent Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Public Parent Shares with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the right to receive the Public Parent Shares represented thereby, and all such dividends and other distributions will be paid by Public Parent to the Exchange Agent and will be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case, until the surrender of such Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate, as provided in Section 3.3(e)) or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate, as provided in Section 3.3(e)) or Book-Entry Share there will be paid to the holder thereof, without interest and subject to the applicable Tax withholding, (i) promptly, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Public Parent Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.1(a) or 3.2(e), as applicable, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such Public Parent Shares.

(i) Withholding Rights. Each of Public Parent, Parent, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent (and any of their respective Affiliates) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares or Company Equity Awards such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts (i) shall be timely remitted to the applicable Taxing Authority and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares or Company Equity Awards in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Parties hereby agree to take commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding.

3.4 Treatment of Equity Awards.

(a) Company Restricted Shares. At the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Shares subject to such Company Restricted Share (with respect to any performance-based vesting requirements, assuming attainment of the maximum level of performance under the terms of the applicable award agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Per Share Cash Consideration, plus any unpaid cash in respect of dividends accrued prior to the Effective Time with respect to such Company Restricted Share (after giving effect to the maximum level of performance), less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment under Section 3.3(i) (the “Unvested Company Restricted Share Consideration”).

(b) Company Restricted Share Units.

(i) At the Effective Time, each Company RSU that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the contingent right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Shares subject to such Company RSU (with respect to any performance-based vesting requirements, assuming attainment of the maximum level of performance under the terms of the applicable award agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Per Share Cash Consideration plus any unpaid cash in respect of dividends equivalent rights accrued prior to the Effective Time with respect to such Company RSU (after giving effect to the maximum level of performance), less applicable Taxes required to be withheld with respect to such payment under Section 3.3(i) (the “Unvested Company RSU Consideration”).

(c) Equity Payments; Vesting and Payment of Unvested Company Equity Award Consideration. Subject to the applicable holder’s continued service with Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries), the Unvested Company Restricted Share Consideration and the Unvested Company RSU Consideration, as applicable (together, the “Unvested Company Equity Award Consideration”), shall vest and become payable upon the earlier to occur of: (x) the satisfaction of the vesting conditions (including any vesting acceleration provisions) that applied to the corresponding portion of the applicable unvested Company Restricted Shares or Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time, or (y) the twelve month anniversary of the Effective Time; provided that with respect to any Company RSUs that constitute nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code and that are not permitted to be paid at such time without triggering a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code, such payment shall be made at the earliest time permitted under the applicable Company Share Plan and award agreement that will not trigger a Tax or penalty under Section 409A of the Code. The Unvested Company Equity Award Consideration shall otherwise remain subject to the same terms and conditions that were applicable to the underlying Company Restricted Shares and Company RSUs, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other administrative or ministerial changes as in the reasonable and good faith determination of Parent are appropriate to conform the administration of the Unvested Company Equity Award Consideration).

(d) Company Actions. At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, the Company Board and the Company Compensation Committee, as applicable, shall adopt any resolutions and take any actions that are necessary to (i) effectuate the treatment of the Company Restricted Shares and Company RSUs set forth in Section 3.4(a) through Section 3.4(c) and (ii) cause the Company Share Plan (other than the agreements underlying, and the terms of the Company Share Plan applicable to, the Unvested Company Equity Award Consideration, in each case, solely to the extent relevant to the terms and conditions of this Section 3.4) to terminate at or prior to the Effective Time. The Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that from and after the Effective Time none of Public Parent, Parent or the Surviving Company shall be required to deliver Shares or other share capital of the Company to any Person pursuant to or in settlement of Company Equity Awards.

3.5 Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if, from the execution and delivery of this Agreement to the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement and abandonment of the Transactions pursuant to Article X, the issued and outstanding Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares shall have been changed into a different number of Shares or securities or a different class by reason of any reclassification, stock split, stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer, or other similar transaction, or a stock dividend with a record date within such period shall have been declared, then the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted to provide the holders of Shares the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 3.5 shall be construed to permit the Company or any other Person to take any action except to the extent consistent with, and not otherwise limited or prohibited by, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.6 Surviving Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the Surviving Company will issue common shares (the “Surviving Company Common Shares”) to Public Parent in consideration for Public Parent issuing Public Parent Shares to holders of Eligible Shares pursuant to Sections 3.1(a) and 3.3(a).

(b) Parent has received (i) an executed equity commitment letter dated as of the date of this Agreement (as may be amended, supplemented or modified in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Equity Commitment Letter”) from the equity financing source party thereto (the “Equity Financing Source”) pursuant to which the Equity Financing Source has committed to provide the amount of cash equity financing as set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, subject only to the terms and conditions expressly set forth therein (the

“Equity Financing”) and (ii) an executed debt commitment letter and executed fee letter associated therewith, each dated as of the date of this Agreement (such commitment letter and fee letter (which fee letter may be redacted as described below), and all attached exhibits, schedules and annexes that are delivered on date of this Agreement, and amendments to the foregoing permitted by the terms hereof, collectively, the “Debt Commitment Letter” and, together with the Equity Commitment Letter and any related exhibits, schedules, annexes, supplements, term sheets and other agreements, the “Commitment Letters”) from the lenders party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders have committed, subject only to the terms and conditions expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, to provide to Parent (or any of its Affiliates) the amount of financing set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter (as may be amended, supplemented or replaced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, the “Financing”). The Equity Commitment Letter provides that the Company is an express third-party beneficiary thereto, and is entitled to seek, specific performance of Parent’s right to cause the Equity Commitment (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) to be funded thereunder, and for no other purpose and, in connection therewith, the Company has the right to an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, to cause Parent to cause, and to directly cause, the Equity Financing Source to fund, directly or indirectly, the Equity Commitment as, and to the extent permitted by, the Equity Commitment Letter, in each case, when all of the conditions to funding the Equity Commitment set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter have been satisfied but only as permitted by the exercise of the Company’s rights under, and subject to, Section 11.7. A true, correct and complete copy of each fully executed Commitment Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement has been provided to the Company. A true, correct and complete copy of each fee letter and engagement letter related to the Debt Commitment Letter as in effect on date of this Agreement has been provided to the Company, except that the fees and other commercially sensitive information therein (including provisions in such fee letter related solely to fees, “flex terms” and economic terms) may have been redacted; provided, however, that no redacted term provides that the aggregate amount or net cash proceeds of the Debt Financing set forth in the unredacted portion of the Debt Commitment Letter could be reduced (except in accordance with Section 8.20(c)) or adds any conditions or contingencies or other terms that adversely affect in any way the availability of all or any portion of the Debt Financing or the enforceability of the Debt Commitment Letter, except as such enforceability may be limited by the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception. Parent has fully paid (or caused to be paid) all commitment and other fees, if any, required by such Commitment Letters to be paid by the Parent (or any applicable Affiliate thereof) prior to or concurrently with the entry into this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, each Commitment Letter is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent (or its applicable Affiliate party thereto) and, to the Knowledge of Parent, each other party thereto, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, and is in full force and effect, and has not been amended, modified, withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect, and, assuming the representations and warranties in Article IV are true and correct to the Knowledge of Parent, no event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would (A) constitute a breach or default thereunder on the part of Parent or (B) otherwise would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of any condition to the Financing in accordance with the terms thereof. There are no other contracts, side letters, other written or oral

agreements, arrangements, conditions precedent, contingencies or other provisions, in each case in effect, that could affect the conditionality of the Financing or the amount or availability of the Financing on the Closing Date, to which Parent or any of its Affiliates is a party, other than (1) as expressly set forth in the Commitment Letters delivered to the Company prior to the execution hereof and (2) as otherwise permitted by Section 8.20. Except as expressly set forth in the Equity Commitment Letter, as of the date of this Agreement, there are no conditions precedent to the obligation of the Equity Financing Source to provide the Equity Financing or any contingencies that would permit the Equity Financing Source to reduce the total amount of Equity Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the representations and warranties in Article IV are true and correct, Parent does not have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied on a timely basis or that the Financing will not be available to Parent for the Financing Purposes required to be paid by Parent or Merger Sub on the date on which the Closing should occur pursuant to Section 1.1.

6.7 Solvency. Assuming (a) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Public Parent’s, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligation to consummate the Merger set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2 and (b) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article IV are true and correct, after giving effect to the Transactions, payment of all related fees and expenses and consummation of the Transactions (including the incurrence of the Debt Financing to the extent required to consummate the Transactions, the Total Stock Value, the Total Cash Amount and Unvested Company Equity Award Consideration), Parent will be Solvent as of and immediately following the Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent,” when used with respect to any Person, means that, as of any date of determination, (i) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (A) the value of all “liabilities of such person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors and (B) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person as such debts become absolute and mature, (ii) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (iii) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities as they mature.

6.8 Brokers and Finders. No broker, investment banker, financial advisor or other Person is entitled to any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission, or the reimbursement of expenses in connection therewith, in connection with the Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except for Persons, if any, whose fees and expenses will be paid by Parent.

6.9 No Other Representations or Warranties; Non-Reliance.

Agreement or the Transactions, and Parent expressly disclaims any other representations or warranties. None of the Company or its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives has relied on and none are relying on any representations or warranties regarding Parent or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, conditions (financial or otherwise) or prospects or its or their respective Representatives, other than the express written representations and warranties made by Public Parent, Parent and Merger Sub in Articles V, VI and VII of this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 6.9 in connection with the due diligence investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries by Parent, Parent has received and may continue to receive from the Company and its Subsidiaries certain estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking information, as well as certain business plan and cost-related plan information, regarding the Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses and operations. Parent hereby acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts and other forward-looking statements.

(iii) cause or permit the Company to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, prior to the time the Requisite Company Vote is obtained, if there has been no breach (other than any immaterial breach) of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Section 8.3, the Company Board may: (A) effect a Change of Recommendation (1) if an (x) unsolicited, bona fide written Acquisition Proposal is received by the Company and has not been withdrawn or (y) Intervening Event has occurred, and (2) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor(s) and outside legal counsel, that based on the information then available, a failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law and, in the case of an Acquisition Proposal contemplated by clause (A)(1)(x) of this Section 8.3(f), that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal; or (B) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal (and the Company may enter into or cause a Subsidiary thereof to enter into such an Alternative Acquisition Agreement) or agree, authorize or commit to do so; provided, however, that no such actions may be taken unless and until: (I) the Company has given Public Parent and Parent written notice at least three Business Days in advance (the “Notice Period”), which notice shall set forth in writing that the Company Board intends to take such action and the basis therefor, and shall also include, (y) in the case of such an Acquisition Proposal, all information required by Section 8.3(i), mutatis mutandis, and (z) in the case of an Intervening Event, a reasonable description of such Intervening Event; (II) during the Notice Period, to the extent requested by Public Parent or Parent, the Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate in good faith with Public Parent and Parent to revise this Agreement so that conditions set forth in clause (A)(2) of this Section 8.3(f) would not be satisfied or such Alternative Acquisition Agreement contemplated by clause (B) of this Section 8.3(f) would no longer be with respect to a Superior Proposal, as applicable; and (III) at the end of the Notice Period, the Company Board shall have taken into account any revisions to this Agreement committed to by Public Parent and Parent in writing and any other information offered by Public Parent and Parent in response to the notice, and shall have thereafter determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor, a failure to effect a Change of Recommendation would continue to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or that such Alternative Acquisition Agreement contemplated by clause (B) of this Section 8.3(f) continues to be an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, as the case may be (it being understood that (y) any material revisions to any Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a new Acquisition Proposal for purposes of Section 8.3(i) and this Section 8.3(f), including for purposes of the Notice Period, except that subsequent to the initial Notice Period, the Notice Period shall be reduced to two Business Days and (z) prior to or concurrently with the Company or any Subsidiary thereof entering into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement contemplated by clause (B) of this Section 8.3(f), the Company shall have terminated this Agreement and abandoned the Transactions pursuant to Section 10.3(b) and paid to Parent the Company Termination Fee required to be paid pursuant to Section 10.5(c)).

(g) Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under applicable Law with regard to an Acquisition Proposal, including making any disclosure the Company Board has reasonably determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that if such disclosure has the substantive effect of withdrawing, qualifying or adversely modifying the Company Board Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation and each of Public Parent and Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 10.4(b) unless the Company expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation within ten Business Days of such disclosure; or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act.

(h) The Company shall not release any third party from, or waive, amend or modify any provision of, or grant permission under or fail to enforce, any standstill provision in any confidentiality agreement in connection with an Acquisition Proposal to which the Company is a party that remains in effect following the execution of this Agreement; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company may waive any such standstill provision solely to the extent necessary to permit a third party to make an Acquisition Proposal in order to comply with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

(i) The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within 48 hours) give written notice to Public Parent and Parent if, after the date of this Agreement, (i) any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal were or are received by, (ii) any non-public information was or is requested in connection with any Acquisition Proposal from, or (iii) any discussions or negotiation with respect to an Acquisition Proposal were or are sought to be initiated or continued with, it or any of its Representatives, indicating, in connection with such notice, the name of such Person or group and the material terms and conditions of any proposals or offers and shall provide to Public Parent and Parent a copy (which may be redacted to the extent reasonably necessary to protect confidential information of the business or operations of the Person making such Acquisition Proposal) of any written Acquisition Proposal and any other written terms or proposals made and thereafter shall keep Public Parent and Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis (and, in any event, within 24 hours), of the status and material terms of any such proposals, or offers (including any material amendments thereto) and any material changes to the status of any such discussions or negotiations, including any change in the Company’s intentions as previously notified.

Separate and apart from and without limiting or expanding the rights and obligations set forth in Section 8.6(a)(iv) and Section 8.6(b)(iii), the Company, Public Parent and Parent each shall keep the other apprised of the status of matters relating to the completion of the Transactions, including as promptly as practicable notifying the other of any substantive or material notices or communications received by Public Parent, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, from any third party, including any Governmental Entity, with respect to such Transactions and as promptly as practicable following such receipt furnishing the other with, if applicable, copies of notices or other communications (or where no such copies are available, a reasonably detailed written description thereof).

(a) The Company, Public Parent and Parent each shall (and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, and shall instruct its and their respective Representatives to), upon the reasonable request by the other, furnish to the other, as promptly as practicable, with all information concerning itself, its Representatives and such other matters as may be necessary

All requests for such access or information made pursuant to this Section 8.9(b) shall be initially

directed to the Person set forth in Section 8.9(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which Person may be replaced by the Company at any time by providing written notice to Public Parent and Parent, and any access granted in connection with a request made pursuant to this Section 8.9(b) shall be supervised by such Persons and be conducted in such a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with any of the businesses, properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Section 8.9, the Company, Public Parent and Parent, as each deems advisable and necessary, after consultation with their respective outside legal counsel, may reasonably designate competitively sensitive information and documents (including those that relate to valuation of the Company or Public Parent or Parent (as the case may be)) as “Outside Counsel Only Information.” Such information and documents shall only be provided to the outside legal counsel of the Company, Public Parent or Parent (as the case may be), or subject to such other similar restrictions mutually agreed to by the Company, Public Parent and Parent, and subject to any amendment, supplement or other modification to the Confidentiality Agreement or additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement between or among the Company, Public Parent and Parent; provided, however, that, subject to any applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the outside legal counsel receiving such information and documents may prepare one or more reports summarizing the results of any analysis of any such shared information and documents, and disclose such reports, other summaries or aggregated information derived from such shared information and documents to Representatives of such outside legal counsel’s client.

(d) No access or information provided to Public Parent, Parent or any of their respective Representatives or to the Company or any of its Representatives following the date of this Agreement, whether pursuant to this Section 8.9 or otherwise, shall affect or be deemed to affect, modify or waive the representations and warranties of the Parties or be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty of the Company unless, and then solely to the extent that, any such materials or information is the subject of any express representation or warranty set forth in Article IV or Article VI and, for the avoidance of doubt, all information and documents disclosed or otherwise made available pursuant to Section 8.6, Section 8.7, this Section 8.9 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange or sharing of information and any restrictions or requirements imposed by any Governmental Entity.

8.10 Publicity. The initial press release with respect to the Transactions shall be a joint press release in the form mutually agreed to by the Company, Public Parent and Parent prior to the date of this Agreement.

(c) If the Effective Time occurs on or prior to the end of fiscal year 2023 or prior to the payment or annual bonuses in respect of fiscal year 2023, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, pay to the Continuing Employees who remain employed with Parent, the Surviving Company or their respective Affiliates through the end of the fiscal year 2023 annual performance period, annual bonuses in respect of fiscal year 2023 in an amount equal to the greater of (i) 100% of such Continuing Employee’s target annual bonus and (ii) the bonus that such Continuing Employee would have earned based upon actual performance (with determinations of actual performance made by the Company Compensation Committee immediately prior to the Effective Time based upon a good faith estimate of the full-year results to the extent the Effective Time precedes the end of such year or precedes the availability of final results); provided that actual performance shall be adjusted at the discretion of the Company Board or Company Compensation Committee, as applicable, in good faith, to account for any consequences of the Transactions on the applicable performance targets.

(d) Parent acknowledges that the consummation of the Merger shall be a “change in control” for purposes of the Company Benefit Plans and shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, honor all employee benefit obligations to current and former employees under the Company Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, Public Parent and Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties against any costs or expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities incurred in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to any Proceeding, in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, including in connection with (A) the Transactions and (B) actions to enforce this provision or any other indemnification or advancement right of any Indemnified Party, and (ii) advance reasonable and documented expenses as incurred; provided that any Person to whom expenses are so advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final adjudication by the Chosen Courts that such Person is not entitled to such advanced expenses.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, and, if the Company is unable to, Public Parent and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company as of the Effective Time to, obtain and fully pay the premium for directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability “tail” insurance covering the Company and such natural persons who are covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability and fiduciary liability insurance in effect as of the date hereof (“Current Insurance”), in each case for a claims reporting or discovery period of six years from and after the Effective Time (“Tail Period”) with respect to any claim related to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions) from the insurers of the Current Insurance or one or more insurers with the same or better A.M. Best financial strength rating as such current insurers and with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as the Current Insurance; provided, however, that the aggregate cost paid for such “tail” insurance shall not exceed 300% of the aggregate annual premium paid for the Current Insurance as of the date of this Agreement (“Maximum Amount”); and provided, further, that if such insurance is not available or the cost of such insurance exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Company shall and, if the Company is unable to, Public Parent and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, obtain insurance with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount. If the Company for any reason fails to obtain or Public Parent and Parent for any reason fail to cause to be obtained such “tail” insurance with effect as of the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall, and Public Parent and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, continue to maintain in effect for the Tail Period the Current Insurance or substitute insurance with one or more insurers with the same or better A.M. Best financial strength rating as such current insurers and with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable to the insureds as provided in the Current Insurance, in each case providing coverage with respect to any matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement

or the Transactions); provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate annual premium for such insurance exceed the Maximum Amount; provided, further, that if the cost of such insurance exceeds the Maximum Amount, the Surviving Company shall, and Public Parent and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company to, obtain insurance with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Amount.

(c) Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 8.13, upon learning of any Proceeding for which indemnification under this Section 8.13 may be available, shall promptly notify Parent and the Surviving Company thereof in writing, but the failure to so notify shall not relieve Public Parent, Parent or the Surviving Company of any obligation or liability it may have to such Indemnified Party unless such failure actually and materially prejudices Public Parent’s, Xxxxxx’s or the Surviving Company’s ability to defend a Proceeding. In the event of any Proceeding for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.13(a): (i) the Surviving Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the selection of counsel (it being understood and agreed that by electing to assume the defense thereof, neither Public Parent, Parent nor the Surviving Company shall not be deemed to have waived any right to object to the Indemnified Party’s entitlement to indemnification hereunder with respect thereto or assumed any obligation or liability with respect thereto), except that if Public Parent, Parent or the Surviving Company elects not to assume such defense or there is an actual conflict of interest between Public Parent, Parent or the Surviving Company and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party may retain legal counsel satisfactory to him/her that is approved by, and mutually agreed upon, by the Surviving Company and the Indemnified Party, and the Surviving Company shall pay all reasonable and reasonably documented fees and expenses of such legal counsel for the Indemnified Party promptly following the receipt of such supporting documentation therefor; provided, however, that the Surviving Company shall be obligated pursuant to this Section 8.13(c) to pay for only one law firm for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction unless the use of one law firm for such Indemnified Parties would constitute a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct on any significant issue between the positions of any two or more Indemnified Parties, in which case the fewest number of law firms necessary to avoid conflicts of interest shall be used; (ii) the Indemnified Party and the Surviving Company shall reasonably cooperate with one another in the defense of any such matter; (iii) the Indemnified Party shall not be liable or have any obligation for any settlement effected without his/her prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) if the Surviving Company elects to assume such defense, and the Surviving Company shall not be liable or have any obligation for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) if the Surviving Company elects not to assume such defense; and (iv) all rights to indemnification in respect of any such Proceedings shall continue until final disposition of all such Proceedings.

(d) During the Tail Period, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as in effect on the date of this Agreement and on the forms filed with the SEC by the Company, shall not be amended, restated, amended and restated, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party without his/her prior written consent except to the extent required by Law.

(e) If Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective legal successors or permitted assigns (i) shall consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the legal successors and permitted assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company shall assume all the obligations set forth in this Section 8.13.

(f) The provisions of this Section 8.13 are intended to be for the benefit of, and from and after the Effective Time shall be enforceable, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, by each of the Indemnified Parties, who shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 8.13.

(g) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 8.13 are in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the Organizational Documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall release, waive, impair or diminish any Person’s rights to insurance coverage or proceeds under any policy that is, has been or may in the future be in existence (it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 8.13 is not prior to or in substitution of any claims under such policies). Nothing in this Agreement is intended to be for the benefit of any insurer.

8.14 Treatment of Certain Existing Indebtedness. Notwithstanding Section 8.8, the Company shall cooperate, and cause its Subsidiaries to cooperate, with Public Parent and Parent, upon the reasonable request of Public Parent or Parent, in connection with obtaining (a) consent to the Transactions from the lenders under the Existing Term Loan Facility and the Existing Revolving Facility and (b) any waivers or amendments (i) in respect of the applicable change of control provisions under any such Existing Facility in connection with the Transactions or (ii) as otherwise contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter. If reasonably requested by Public Parent or Parent, the Company shall assist in the preparation of, provide and, if applicable, execute, documents relating to the repurchase or repayment of any Existing Facility or any other existing indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, including customary documentation related to an offer to purchase the Existing Notes or Company Preference Shares, customary payoff letters, and (to the extent required) evidence that notice of such repayment has been timely delivered to the holders of such Existing Facility or other indebtedness; provided that Public Parent and Parent shall promptly, upon request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees) incurred by the Company in connection with such cooperation and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its Representatives from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses suffered or incurred by any of them in connection with any such repurchase or repayment; provided, further, that the receipt of any consent, approval, waiver or amendment or the execution of any documentation contemplated by this Section 8.14 shall in no way be a condition to any party’s requirement to effect the Closing.

8.15 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is, becomes or is deemed applicable to the Transactions, the Company and the Company Board shall grant such approvals and, along with Public Parent and Parent, shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary and advisable so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of any such Takeover Statutes.

8.16 Transaction Litigation. In the event that any shareholder litigation related to this Agreement, the Statutory Merger Agreement or the Transactions and the Statutory Merger Agreement is brought, or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the Company or any Indemnified Party from and following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Effective Time (such litigation, other than any Proceeding in connection with, arising out of or otherwise related to a demand for appraisal under Section 106(6) of the Companies Act, which shall be governed by Section 3.3(f), “Transaction Litigation”), the Company shall as promptly as practicable (a) notify Public Parent and Parent thereof and shall keep Public Parent and Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof and (b) give Public Parent and Parent a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense or settlement (at Public Parent’s and Parent’s sole expense and subject to a customary joint defense agreement) of any Transaction Litigation and shall consider in good faith Public Parent’s and Parent’s advice with respect to such Transaction Litigation. Except if the Company Board has made a Change of Recommendation, the Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding, or participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of any such Transaction Litigation. None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives shall compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any Transaction Litigation, in each case, unless Public Parent and Parent have consented thereto in writing (such consent to be made at Public Parent’s and Parent’s good faith discretion).

8.17 Section 16 Matters. The Company shall, and the Company Board (or duly formed committees thereof consisting of non-employee directors (as such term is defined for the purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act)) shall cause the Company to, prior to the Effective Time, take all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to cause the Transactions and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including derivative securities and Company Equity Awards) by any individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

(a) Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters (including any flex provisions in any fee letter), including using commercial reasonable efforts to maintain in effect the Commitment Letters and to, as promptly as possible, (i) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis, or obtain a waiver of, all conditions precedent in the Commitment Letters applicable to Parent and its Affiliates, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (or on terms that are not less favorable in the aggregate to Parent than the terms and conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in effect on the date hereof), (iii) in the event that all conditions to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the Financing have been satisfied and to the extent such proceeds are required to consummate the Transactions, consummate the Financing at or prior to the Closing, including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Financing Sources providing the Financing to fund at Closing, (iv) enforce its rights under the Commitment Letters and (v) comply with its obligations under the Commitment Letters and, in the case of the Debt Commitment Letter, any related definitive agreement.

(b) Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a prompt basis and in reasonable detail of material developments in respect of the Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt (and in any event within three Business Days) written notice (i) of any threatened or actual breach or default by Parent or any other party to either Commitment Letter or other definitive agreements with respect thereto (such definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing, collectively, with the Debt Commitment Letter, “Debt Documents”) which could reasonably be expected to affect the conditionality, timing, availability or quantum of the Financing or any threatened or actual termination of either Commitment Letter, (ii) if and when Parent receives notice from any Financing Source that any portion of the Financing contemplated by either Commitment Letter is not reasonably expected to be available for the Financing Purposes (other than as a result of any amendment, termination or modification of the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms of this Section 8.20), (iii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any party to either Commitment Letter with respect to any actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letter or other Debt Document or material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Debt Document (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing or Debt Documents), and (iv) of any expiration or termination of either Commitment Letter or other Debt Document; provided that in no event will Parent or any Affiliate thereof be under any obligation to disclose any information pursuant to this Section 8.20(b) that is subject to attorney client or similar privilege if Parent shall have used its reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege.

(c) Parent shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, permit or consent to any amendment, supplement or modification to be made to the Equity Commitment Letter if such amendment, supplement or modification would or could reasonably be expected to (i) delay, prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Equity Financing, (ii) reduce (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing under the Equity Commitment Letter (other than as a result of an assignment of an Equity Financing Source’s commitment to another Equity Financing

Source), (iii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Equity Financing, in each case in a manner that could reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Equity Financing at the Closing or (iv) otherwise adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Equity Commitment Letter (including any right to seek or obtain specific performance of the Equity Commitment Letter).

(d) Parent shall not, without the Company’s prior written consent, permit or consent to any amendment, supplement or modification to be made to the Debt Commitment Letter if such amendment, supplement or modification would or could reasonably be expected to (i) delay, prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Debt Financing to the extent the Debt Financing is required to consummate the Transactions, (ii) reduce (or could have the effect of reducing) the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing under the Debt Commitment Letter, to the extent such Financing is required to consummate the Transactions, (iii) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in each case in a manner that could reasonably be expected to delay or prevent or make less likely to occur the funding of the Debt Financing at the Closing, to the extent the Debt Financing is required to consummate the Transactions or (iv) otherwise adversely impact the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or (prior to Closing) the definitive agreements with respect thereto, in each case, to the extent the Debt Financing is required to consummate the Transactions (including any right to seek or obtain specific performance of the Debt Commitment Letter); provided that Parent may amend, amend and restate, replace, supplement, or otherwise modify or waive any of its rights under, the Debt Commitment Letter, so long as any such amendment, replacement, supplement, or other modification to or waiver of any provisions of such Debt Commitment Letter shall not (x) expand upon the conditions precedent to the funding of the Debt Financing as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter or otherwise modify the Debt Commitment Letter in a manner that, in each case, would, or would reasonably be likely to, prevent, impede, or delay the Closing, (y) reduce the amount of the Debt Financing or reduce the Debt Financing Sources’ commitments under the Debt Commitment Letter (other than as a result of an assignment of a Debt Financing Source’s commitment to another Debt Financing Source) unless such reduced amount, when combined with the Equity Financing (including any increase thereto) and cash and other sources of immediately available funds that are accessible to Parent, is sufficient to satisfy Parent’s obligations contemplated by this Agreement, or (z) adversely affect in any material respect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the Debt Financing Sources or under the Debt Commitment Letter; provided, further, that to the extent lender or holder consent, as applicable, to the Transactions is provided under the Existing Term Loan Facility, Existing Revolving Facility, Existing Notes or Company Preference Shares, Parent (or its applicable Affiliate) may amend or terminate, or otherwise modify or supplement, the Debt Commitment Letter or any of the Debt Documents, as applicable, to reduce the commitments provided under the Debt Commitment Letter in an amount up to the aggregate amount outstanding, plus the amount of any undrawn commitments, under the applicable Existing Facility. Parent shall promptly furnish to the Company true and complete copies of any amendment, replacement, supplement, modification, consent or waiver relating to the Debt Commitment Letter following the execution thereof. For purposes of this Agreement (other than representations made as of a prior date), references to the “Debt Commitment Letter” shall include such document(s) as permitted or required by this Section 8.20 to be amended, supplemented, modified or waived, in each case from and after such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver.

(e) In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter (including, as necessary, any flex terms applicable thereto or to any related fee letter) (any such event or circumstance, a “Financing Failure Event”) and is needed to consummate the Transactions, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to obtain, or cause to be obtained, alternative financing, including by reason of capital markets, securities or other financing transactions, in an amount sufficient to replace any unavailable portion of the Financing (“Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such Financing Failure Event, (i) on (A) economic terms and (B) other terms, in each case, that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate when taken as a whole to Parent than the terms of the Debt Commitment Letter (including any flex terms applicable thereto) and (ii) containing conditions to draw, conditions to Closing and other terms that would be permitted if effected pursuant to an amendment to the Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with Section 8.20(d). The provisions of Section 8.19 and this Section 8.20 shall be applicable to the Alternative Financing, and, for the purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Debt Financing shall be deemed to include such Alternative Financing, all references to Debt Documents shall include the applicable documents for the Alternative Financing, and all references to the Lenders shall include the Persons providing or arranging the Alternative Financing. In the event Parent has obtained any other substitute or supplemental financing, the proceeds of which are received on or after the Closing Date and which amount, if applicable, substitutes an equivalent portion of the Debt Financing, for the purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Debt Financing shall be deemed to include such substitute financing.

(f) Parent shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of any of the conditions contained in the Commitment Letters or in any definitive agreement relating to the Financing. Parent acknowledges and agrees that none of the obtaining of the Financing or any permitted alternative financing, the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the Financing, or the Company or any of its Affiliates having or maintaining any available cash balances is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirm their obligation to consummate the Transactions irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any permitted alternative financing, the completion of any such issuance, or the Company or any of its Affiliates having or maintaining any available cash balances, subject to the applicable conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2. Subject to Section 11.7, if the Financing has not been obtained, Parent will continue to be obligated, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 9.1 and Section 9.2, to consummate the Transactions.

8.21 Bermuda Required Actions. Prior to the Closing: (a) the Company shall (i) procure that the statutory declaration required by Section 108(3) of the Companies Act is duly sworn by one of its officers, and (ii) prepare a duly certified copy of the Company shareholder resolutions evidencing the Requisite Company Vote and deliver such documents to Public Parent and Parent;

and (b) Merger Sub shall (and Public Parent and Parent, as the shareholders of Merger Sub, shall cause Merger Sub to) (i) procure that the statutory declaration required by Section 108(3) of the Companies Act is duly sworn by one of Merger Sub’s officers, (ii) prepare a duly certified copy of the shareholder resolution evidencing the approval of Public Parent and Parent, as the shareholders of Merger Sub, of the Merger, and (iii) prepare the Merger Application and deliver such documents to the Company.

8.22 Limited Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Guarantors have duly executed and delivered the Limited Guarantee to the Company. As of the date hereof, the Limited Guarantee is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exception, and has not been amended, withdrawn or rescinded in any respect. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default or breach on the part of any Guarantor under the Limited Guarantee.

intended to be a penalty but rather are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Public Parent, Parent or the Company, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such Company Termination Fee or Parent Termination Fee are due and payable, for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(a) Subject to the provisions of applicable Law and the provisions of Section 8.13, at any time prior to the Effective Time, this Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified only by a written instrument duly executed and delivered by the Parties; provided, however, that following receipt of the Requisite Company Vote, there shall be no amendment or change to the provisions hereof that (i) by Law or in accordance with the rules of any stock exchange would require further approval by the shareholders of the Company without such approval or (ii) is not permitted under applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 11.5 and Section 11.6(b), Section 11.6(c), Section 11.6(d), Section 11.8 and Section 11.16 (and any other provision of this Agreement to the extent an amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of such provision would modify the substance of such provision) may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in any manner that is adverse in any respect to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of such Financing Sources (it being expressly agreed that the Financing Sources in their capacities as such shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11.5 and shall be entitled to the protections of the provisions contained in this Section 11.5 as if they were a party to this Agreement).

(b) The conditions to each of the respective Parties’ obligations to consummate the Transactions are for the sole benefit of such Party and may be waived by such Party.

No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under applicable Law shall operate as a waiver of such rights and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

11.6 Governing Law and Venue; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(b) Each of the Parties agrees that: (i) it shall bring any Proceeding against any other Party in connection with, arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or the Transactions exclusively in the Chosen Courts (except to the extent any such proceeding mandatorily must be brought in Bermuda); and (ii) solely in connection with such Proceedings, (A) irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (B) irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue in any such Proceeding in the Chosen Courts, (C) irrevocably waives any objection that the Chosen Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any Party and (D) agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such Proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof and (E) it shall not assert as a defense any matter or claim waived by the foregoing clauses (A) through (D) of this Section 11.6(b) or that any Order issued by the Chosen Courts may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts.

(c) Each of the Parties acknowledges and irrevocably agrees (i) that any Proceeding (whether at Law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of, or in any way relating to, the Financing or the performance of services thereunder or related thereto against or by any Financing Source in its capacity as such shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, and any appellate court therefrom, and each Party hereto submits for itself and its property with respect to any such Proceeding to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (ii) not to bring or permit any of its Affiliates to bring or support anyone else in bringing any such Proceeding in any other court, (iii) to waive and hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such Proceeding in any such court, (iv) that a final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law and (v) that any such Proceeding shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York (it being expressly agreed that the Financing Sources in their capacities as such shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 11.6(c) and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions contained in this Section 11.6(c) as if they were a party to this Agreement).

(d) EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, THE FINANCING, OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SERVICES THEREUNDER OR RELATED THERETO (INCLUDING ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM), INCLUDING IN ANY ACTION AGAINST OR BY ANY FINANCING SOURCE IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH, INCLUDING ANY ACTION DESCRIBED IN SECTION 11.6(c)(i) IN ANY SUCH COURT DESCRIBED IN SECTION 11.6(c)(i) (IT BEING EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT THE FINANCING SOURCES IN THEIR CAPACITIES AS SUCH SHALL BE THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THIS SECTION 11.6(d) AND SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ENFORCE THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 11.6(d) AS IF THEY WERE A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT).

11.7 Specific Performance.

(a) Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the Transactions are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or damage would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, except to the extent provided otherwise in Section 10.5, in addition to any other available remedies a Party may have in equity or at law, each Party shall be entitled to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to seek an injunction restraining any breach or violation or threatened breach or violation of the provisions of this Agreement, consistent with the provisions of Section 11.6(b), in the Chosen Courts without necessity of posting a bond or other form of security. In the event that any Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law, except to the extent consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 10.5.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the Parties agree that the Company shall only be entitled to specific performance of Public Parent’s, Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger and the Transactions and cause the Equity Financing to be funded if, and only if, (i) all of the conditions in Article IX have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to such conditions being able to be satisfied at the Closing); (ii) the Debt Financing (or any Alternative Financing in accordance with Section 8.20(e)) will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing; and (iii) the Company has irrevocably confirmed in writing to Public Parent and Parent that if specific performance is granted and the Debt Financing is funded, then the Company will cause the Closing to occur.

11.8 Third-Party Beneficiaries. The Parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of the other, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies, express or implied, hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, except (a) from and after the Effective Time, the Indemnified Parties pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.13, (b) from and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares and the holders of Company Equity Awards with respect to their respective rights to receive the consideration payable pursuant to Article III, and (c) the Financing Sources as expressly provided in Section 11.5(a), Section 11.6(b), Section 11.6(c), Section 11.6(d) and Section 11.16.

11.9 Fulfillment of Obligations. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Public Parent or Parent to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Public Parent or Parent, as applicable, to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of the Surviving Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Any obligation of one Party to any other Party under this Agreement, which obligation is performed, satisfied or properly fulfilled by a Subsidiary of such Party, shall be deemed to have been performed, satisfied or fulfilled by such Party.

11.10 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Except as may be required to satisfy the obligations contemplated by Section 8.13, no Party may assign this Agreement, any right to damages for breach of this Agreement or any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of Law, by transfer or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other Parties not seeking to assign this Agreement, any right to damages for breach of this Agreement or any of its rights or interests or delegate any of its obligations, except as provided for in Section 11.9, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 11.10 shall be null and void; provided, however, that each of Public Parent or Parent, as applicable, may designate another Subsidiary organized under the laws of any State of the United States to be a constituent corporation in lieu of Merger Sub, so long as Public Parent or Parent provides the Company with advance written notice thereof, in which event all references to Merger Sub in this Agreement shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary of Public Parent or Parent, except that all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect to Merger Sub as of the date of this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation; provided that (a) any such designation shall not reasonably be expected (in the Company’s reasonable determination) to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the consummation of the Transactions and (b) no assignment, delegation or designation shall relieve Public Parent or Parent of any of their obligations pursuant to this Agreement unless the Parties enter into a novation.

11.11 Entire Agreement.
