(i) to remove references concerning the valuation of the businesses of the Company;

(iii) as necessary to address reasonable privilege concerns (provided that the redacting Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such privilege concerns).

(b) The Company undertakes, if so reasonably requested by Parent to, as promptly as reasonably practicable, provide its written consent to Parent and to the Irish Takeover Panel in respect of any application made by Parent to the Irish Takeover Panel:

(i) to redact any commercially sensitive or confidential information specific to Parent’s financing arrangements for the Acquisition (“Parent Financing Information”) from any documents that Parent is required to publish on a website pursuant to Rule 26.3(v)(b)(xi) of the Irish Takeover Rules;

(a) amend the Scheme;

(b) adjourn or postpone (or propose an adjournment or postponement of) the Scheme Meeting or the EGM; provided, however, that the Company may, without the consent of, but after consultation with, Parent, adjourn or postpone (or propose to adjourn or postpone) the Scheme Meeting or EGM if (i) in the case of adjournment, such adjournment was requested by the Company Shareholders (but only to the extent the proposal for such adjournment was not proposed by the Company or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives), (ii) reasonably necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Scheme Document or Proxy Statement is provided to the Company Shareholders or to permit dissemination of information which is material to the Company Shareholders voting at the Scheme Meeting or the EGM (but only for so long as the Company Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with outside counsel, as is reasonably necessary or advisable to give the Company Shareholders

sufficient time to evaluate any such disclosure or information), or (iii) as of the time the Scheme Meeting or EGM is scheduled (as set out in the Scheme Document or Proxy Statement), there are insufficient Company Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) (A) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Scheme Meeting or the EGM (but only until a meeting can be held at which there are a sufficient number of Company Shares represented to constitute a quorum) or (B) voting for the approval of the applicable Resolutions (but only until a meeting can be held at which there are a sufficient number of votes of the Company Shareholders to approve the applicable Resolutions); provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, other than any adjournments or postponements required by applicable Laws, including adjournments or postponements to the extent reasonably necessary or advisable to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement is provided or made available to the Company Shareholders or to permit dissemination of information which is material to shareholders voting at the Scheme Meeting and EGM and to give the Company Shareholders sufficient time to evaluate any such supplement or amendment or other information, no such adjournment or postponement pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) shall, without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), be for a period exceeding 10 Business Days and the Company may not adjourn or postpone the Scheme Meeting or the EGM pursuant to clause (i) or (iii) more than two times; or

3.6 Switching to a Takeover Offer.

(a) Subject to the terms of this Section 3.6, in the event that Parent reasonably determines that a competitive situation (as that term is defined in the Irish Takeover Rules) exists or, based on facts known at the time, may reasonably be expected to arise in connection with the Acquisition, Parent may elect (subject to receiving the Irish Takeover Panel’s consent, if required) to implement the Acquisition by way of the Takeover Offer (rather than the Scheme), whether or not the Scheme Document has been posted.

(b) If Parent elects to implement the Acquisition by way of the Takeover Offer, the Company undertakes to provide Parent and its Representatives as promptly as reasonably practicable with all such information about the Company Group (including directors and their connected persons) as may reasonably be required for inclusion in the Takeover Offer Document and to provide all such other assistance as may reasonably be required by the Irish Takeover Rules in connection with the preparation of the Takeover Offer Document, including reasonable access to, and ensuring the provision of reasonable assistance by, its management and Representatives.

(i) that the Takeover Offer Document will contain provisions consistent with the terms and conditions set out in the Rule 2.7 Announcement, the relevant Conditions and such other further terms and conditions as agreed (including any modification thereto) between Parent and the Irish Takeover Panel; provided, however, that the terms and conditions of the Takeover Offer shall be at least as favorable to the Company Shareholders and the Company Equity Award Holders as those which would apply in relation to the Scheme (except for the 80% acceptance condition contemplated by paragraph 9 of the Conditions);

(ii) to reasonably co-operate and consult with Parent in the preparation of the Takeover Offer Document or any other document or filing which is required for the purposes of implementing the Acquisition; and

(iii) that, subject to the obligations of the Company Board under the Irish Takeover Rules, and unless the Company Board has made a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to and in accordance with Section 5.2, the Takeover Offer shall incorporate a recommendation to the Company Shareholders from the Company Board to accept the Takeover Offer and such recommendation shall not subsequently be withdrawn, adversely modified or qualified except as contemplated by Section 5.2.

(d) If Parent elects to implement the Acquisition by way of the Takeover Offer in accordance with Section 3.6(a), the Parties mutually agree:

(i) to prepare and file with, or submit to, the SEC, the Irish Takeover Panel and the Irish High Court, all documents, amendments and supplements required to be filed therewith or submitted thereto pursuant to the Irish Takeover Rules, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise by applicable Laws in connection with the Takeover Offer and to make any applications or initiate any appearances as may be required by or desirable to the Irish High Court for the purpose of discontinuing, cancelling or terminating the Irish High Court proceedings initiated in connection with the Scheme and, unless the Company Board has made a Company Change of Recommendation, each Party shall have reasonable opportunities to review and make comments on all such documents, amendments and supplements and, following good faith consideration of such comments by the other Party and approval of such documents, amendments and supplements by the other Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, file or submit, as the case may be, such documents, amendments and supplements with or to the SEC, the Irish Takeover Panel and the Irish High Court (as applicable);

(ii) to provide the other Party with any comments received from the SEC, the Irish Takeover Panel or the Irish High Court on any documents filed by it with the SEC, the Irish Takeover Panel or the Irish High Court promptly after receipt thereof, other than with respect to any such documents to the extent related to a Company Alternative Proposal; and

(iii) to provide the other Party with reasonable prior notice of any proposed material oral communication with the SEC, the Irish Takeover Panel or the High Court and, except to the extent prohibited by the SEC, the Irish Takeover Panel or the High Court, afford the other Party reasonable opportunity to participate therein, other than with respect to any such communication to the extent related to a Company Alternative Proposal.

(e) If the Takeover Offer is consummated, Parent shall cause Acquirer Sub (or their respective designees) to effect as promptly as practicable, following it becoming entitled under the Irish Companies Act to do so, a compulsory acquisition of any Company Shares under Section 457 of the Irish Companies Act not acquired in the Takeover Offer for the same consideration per share as provided for in the Takeover Offer.

(f) For clarity and except as may be required by the Irish Takeover Rules (and without limiting any other provision of this Agreement), nothing in this Section 3.6 shall require the Company to provide Parent with any information with respect to, or to otherwise take or fail to take any action in connection with the Company’s consideration of or response to, any actual or potential Company Alternative Proposal.

SECTION 4. EQUITY AWARDS

4.1 The Company Equity Awards.

(a) Company Options. Each Company Option that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not vested) shall, as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the occurrence of the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, Parent, or the Company, be canceled and converted into the right to receive cash, without interest, in an amount equal to the product of (i) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (ii) the excess of (A) the Consideration over (B) the exercise price payable per Share under such Company Option, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 8.2 (the “Option Consideration”). No holder of a Company Option that has an exercise price per Share that is equal to or greater than the Consideration shall be entitled to any payment with respect to any such canceled Company Option before or after the Effective Time, and any such Company Option shall be canceled and shall cease to exist as of the Effective Time and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(b) Company Share Awards.

(i) Each Company RSU Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not vested) shall, by virtue of the occurrence of the Effective Time and without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, Parent, or the Company (A) if granted to a non-employee member of the Company Board or held by a person who, as of the Completion Date, is a former service-provider of the Company, be canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash, without interest, amount equal to (w) the total number of Company Shares subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (x) the Consideration, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 8.2 (the “RSU Cash Consideration”) and (B) if not granted to an individual described in clause (A), be canceled and converted into a restricted stock unit (each, a “Parent RSU”) denominated in shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”). The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Parent RSU shall be equal to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (y) the number of shares of Company Shares subject to such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (z) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio. Except as specifically provided above, following the Effective Time, each such Parent RSU shall continue to be governed by the same terms and conditions (including vesting terms) as were applicable to the applicable Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Equity Award Exchange

Ratio” means (1) the Consideration divided by (2) the volume weighted average of the per share closing price of Parent Common Stock on the Nasdaq (as reported in the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal or, if not reported thereby, another authoritative source) for five (5) trading days ending on the second Business Day prior to the Completion.

(ii) Each Company PSU Award that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not vested) shall by virtue of the occurrence of the Effective Time without any further action on the part of the holder thereof, Parent, or the Company be canceled and converted into the right to receive a cash amount, without interest, equal to (A) the total number of Company Shares issuable in settlement of such Company PSU Award as set forth below (“PSU Achievement”) multiplied by (B) the Consideration, which amount shall be paid in accordance with Section 8.2 (the “PSU Consideration”). PSU Achievement shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company PSU Award, as determined by the Company Board or the compensation committee of the Company Board prior to the Effective Time, in consultation with, but not subject to the approval of, Parent.

4.2 Further Actions. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee thereof administering the Company Share Plans) shall take all actions, including by adopting any resolutions, obtaining any consents or approvals or otherwise, reasonably necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 4.

4.3 Amendment of Articles. The Company shall procure that a special resolution be proposed to the Company Shareholders at the EGM proposing that the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association be amended so that any Company Shares allotted following Scheme Record Time will either be subject to the terms of the Scheme or acquired by Parent for the same consideration per Company Share as shall be payable to the Company Shareholders under the Scheme (depending upon the timing of such allotment); provided, however, that nothing in such amendment to the Company Memorandum and Articles of Association shall prohibit the sale (whether on a stock exchange or otherwise) of any Company Shares issued on the exercise of Company Options or vesting or settlement of Company Share Awards, as applicable, following the EGM but prior to the Scheme Record Time approved by the Irish High Court, it being always acknowledged that each and every Company Share will be bound by the terms of the Scheme.

SECTION 5. THE COMPANY CONDUCT

5.1 Conduct of Business by the Company.

(a) From the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Completion and termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9, except (w) as prohibited or required by applicable Laws, including Irish Takeover Rules or Nasdaq rules, (x) for any necessary or advisable actions taken in good faith to comply with or implement applicable local COVID-19 Measures, (y) as set out in Section 5.1 or 7.4(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, or (z) as otherwise required or expressly contemplated by this Agreement, unless Parent shall otherwise consent in writing (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts (1) to conduct its business in the ordinary course of business and (2) to preserve intact its business organization and relationships with significant customers, suppliers, licensors,

5.2 Non-Solicitation and Company Change of Recommendation.

(a) No Solicitation or Negotiation. Subject to any actions which the Company is required to take so as to comply with the requirements of the Irish Takeover Rules, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Effective Time and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9, except as otherwise set out in this Section 5.2, the Company shall not, and it shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees not to, and it shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) solicit, initiate or take any action to knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information to any Person in connection with) the submission of any Company Alternative Proposal or any indication, proposal or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Alternative Proposal;

(ii) enter into, continue or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, furnish any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or afford access to the business, properties, assets, personnel, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, otherwise cooperate in any way with, or knowingly assist, participate in, knowingly facilitate or knowingly encourage any effort by, any Third Party that would reasonably be expected to seek to make, or has made, a Company Alternative Proposal or any indication, proposal or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Alternative Proposal (except to notify such Person as to the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.2);

(vi) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement or other agreement providing for or relating to a Company Alternative Proposal (other than a Company Alternative Proposal NDA).

Nothing contained herein shall prevent the Company Board from (x) complying with Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act with regard to a Company Alternative Proposal, so long as any action taken or statement made to so comply is consistent with this Section 5.2 or (y) making any required disclosure to the Company Shareholders if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with applicable Laws; provided that any Company Change of Recommendation involving or relating to a Company Alternative Proposal may only be made in accordance with Sections 5.2(b), 5.2(c), 5.2(d) and 5.2(e). For clarity, a “stop, look and listen” disclosure or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not constitute a Company Change of Recommendation.

Additionally, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and employees to, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries’ other Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to any Company Alternative Proposal or with respect to any indication, proposal or inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Alternative Proposal. The Company will promptly (and in each case within 36 hours from the date of this Agreement) request from each Person (and such Person’s Representatives) that has executed a confidentiality agreement during the past six months in connection with its consideration of a Company Alternative Proposal to return or destroy (as provided in the terms of such applicable confidentiality agreement) all confidential information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and shall promptly (and in each case within 36 hours from the date of this Agreement) terminate all physical and electronic data access previously granted to each such Person.

Notwithstanding Section 5.2(a), if at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Approval Time”) (and in no event after the Company Approval Time), the Company Board receives a written Company Alternative Proposal made after the date of this Agreement which has not resulted from a breach in any material respect of this Section 5.2, the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, may (i) contact the Third Party that has made such Company Alternative Proposal in order to inform such Third Party of the terms of this Section 5.2 and clarify the terms of such Company Alternative Proposal for the sole purpose of the Company Board informing itself about such Company Alternative Proposal and such Third Party, and (ii) (x) engage in negotiations or discussions with any such Third Party that has made such an unsolicited written Company Alternative Proposal, (y) furnish to such Third Party and its Representatives and financing sources nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to a confidentiality agreement with terms that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement

(except that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a standstill or similar provision) and that does not include any restrictions that prohibits the Company from satisfying its obligations contemplated by this Section 5.2(b) (such agreement, a “Company Alternative Proposal NDA”) provided that all such non-public information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or made available to Parent) is provided or made available to Parent, as the case may be, substantially concurrently with the time it is provided or made available to such Third Party; provided, further, that prior to and as a condition of taking any actions described in this Section 5.2(b), the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that such Company Alternative Proposal either constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal.

(c) Notice. The Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in any event within 36 hours) if any Company Alternative Proposal, or any indication, proposal or inquiry by a Third Party that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Alternative Proposal, is received by the Company. Each such notice shall be provided in writing and shall identify the Third Party making, and, to the extent applicable, the material terms and conditions (including price) of, any such Company Alternative Proposal or any such indication, proposal or inquiry by a Third Party. Following such initial notice, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably current basis, of any material changes in the status and details of any such Company Alternative Proposal or any such indication, proposal or inquiry and shall promptly (but in no event later than 36 hours after receipt) provide to Parent copies of all written proposals, offers or draft agreements relating to a Company Alternative Proposal. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will enter into any agreement with any Person which prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with, or otherwise complying with, this Section 5.2.

(d) Fiduciary Exception to the Company Change of Recommendation Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 5.2(e), prior to the Company Approval Time (and in no event after the Company Approval Time), the Company Board may (A) in response to the receipt of a written Company Alternative Proposal received after the date hereof that did not result from a material breach of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Section 5.2, or in response to the occurrence of a Company Intervening Event, make a Company Change of Recommendation, or (B) in response to the receipt of a written Company Alternative Proposal received after the date hereof that did not result from a material breach of the Company’s obligations set forth in this Section 5.2, effect a Company Change of Recommendation and terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(a)(ii)(B) in order to substantially concurrently enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Company Superior Proposal if, in each case of clause (A) and clause (B), (x) in the case of such an action taken in connection with a Company Alternative Proposal, the Company Alternative Proposal has not been withdrawn and the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor that such Company Alternative Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal and (y) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws.

(e) Last Look. The Company Board and the Company, as applicable, shall not take any of the actions contemplated by Section 5.2(d) unless prior to taking such action (i) the Company has notified Parent, in writing at least four Business Days before taking such action, that the Company intends to take such action, which notice attaches, in the case of a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.2(d)(A) in response to a Company Superior Proposal or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(d)(B) and Section 9.1(a)(ii)(B), the most current version of each proposed Contract providing for or related to such Company Superior Proposal (including any Contract relating to financing or expense reimbursement), the identity of the Third Party(ies) making the Company Superior Proposal or, in the case of a Company Intervening Event, a reasonably detailed description of the facts relating to such Company Intervening Event, (ii) if requested by Parent, during such four Business Day period, the Company and its Representatives shall have discussed and negotiated in good faith with Parent (to the extent that Parent desires to so discuss or negotiate) regarding any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement in response to such Company Superior Proposal or other potential Company Change of Recommendation and (iii) after such four Business Day period, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor and outside legal counsel and taking into account any proposal by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Laws and, in the case of any such action in connection with a Company Alternative Proposal, such Company Alternative Proposal continues to constitute a Company Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that in the event of any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of any such Company Superior Proposal, a new written notification from the Company consistent with that described in clause (i) of this Section 5.2(e) shall be required, and a new notice period under clause (i) of this Section 5.2(e) shall commence, during which notice period the Company shall be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.2(e) anew, except that such new notice period shall be for three Business Days (as opposed to four Business Days)). After delivery of such written notice pursuant to this Section 5.2(e), the Company shall promptly inform Parent of all material developments affecting the material terms of any such Company Superior Proposal.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 7.1(a) (and subject to the limitations set forth therein), during the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the Completion and the date, if any, on which the Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9, the Company agrees to, and to cause its Subsidiaries to, subject to applicable Law including Antitrust Law, (i) reasonably assist and reasonably cooperate with Parent and its Subsidiaries (A) to facilitate the post-Completion integration of the Company Group with Parent and its Subsidiaries (including, at the request of Parent from time to time, reasonably assisting and cooperating with Parent and its Affiliates in the planning and development of a post-Completion integration plan) and (B) by making reasonably available relevant Third Party advisors and employees on a mutually convenient basis, at the reasonable request of Parent from time to time, for post-Completion Tax planning and other Tax matters related to this Agreement (including any matters described in Section 7.13 or any other planning that is aimed at preserving or obtaining a Tax basis step up in the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries for applicable Tax purposes, it being understood and agreed that neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries makes any representations regarding the availability or effectiveness of such Tax planning); provided, that (1) the Company is not hereby required (before the Completion) to make any Tax elections, transfers of entities, or take any other action or step that may be requested by Parent that (x) would have a greater than a de minimis effect on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or shareholders, or (y) would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the Completion, (2) Parent shall indemnify the Company for any and all costs and expenses (including any Taxes) that may result from any election or restructuring, or any other action as to which the Company incurs material costs and expenses, in each case requested by Parent from the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 7.1(b)(i)(B); and (3) that such cooperation shall not require any party to disclose any information subject to applicable privileges, including the attorney-client privilege, and (ii) provide reasonable access to key personnel identified by Parent to facilitate Xxxxxx’s efforts with respect to the post-Completion retention of such key personnel.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, neither the Company nor any of its respective Subsidiaries shall be required to provide access to, disclose information to or assist or cooperate with Parent, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives in each case if and to the extent such access, disclosure, assistance or cooperation (i) would jeopardize any attorney-client privilege with respect to such information, or (ii) would, as reasonably determined based on the advice of outside counsel, contravene any applicable Law or confidentiality obligations in any Contract to which any member of the Company Group is subject or bound; provided that the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which such restrictions apply (including redacting such information (A) to remove references concerning valuation of the Company Group, (B) as necessary to comply with any Contract in effect on the date of this Agreement or after the date of this Agreement or with applicable Laws and (C) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client, work-product or other privilege or confidentiality concerns, or entering into a joint defense or other arrangement) and to provide such information as to the applicable matter as can be conveyed. Each of the Company and Parent may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 as “Outside Counsel Only Material.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside counsel of the recipient and, subject to any additional confidentiality or joint defense agreement the Parties may mutually propose and enter into, will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers or directors of the recipient unless express permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials (the Company or Parent, as the case may be) or its legal counsel.

(d) Each Party shall promptly notify and provide copies to the other Party of the occurrence of any event which would or would reasonably be expected to (A) prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Scheme, the Acquisition or the other Transactions or (B) result in the failure of any Condition; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) shall not in and of itself (i) affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, right, remedy, or condition to any obligation of any Party hereunder or (ii) update any section of the Company Disclosure Schedule. A failure of either Party to provide information pursuant to this Section 7.1(d) shall not constitute a breach for purposes of any Condition.

(e) The Parties hereby agree that all information provided to them or their respective Representatives pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreement.

7.2 Consents and Regulatory Approvals.

(a) The terms of the Acquisition at the date of publication of the Scheme Document shall be set out in the Rule 2.7 Announcement and the Scheme Document, to the extent required by applicable Laws.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall, and each shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, (i) all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, to achieve satisfaction of the Conditions and to consummate the Acquisition and the other Transactions and (ii) all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Antitrust Laws to consummate and make effective the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable, including: (A) the obtaining of all necessary Clearances and expirations or terminations of waiting periods from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain any such Clearances or expiration or termination of a waiting period by or from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity in connection with any Antitrust Law, (B) the obtaining of all necessary Clearances from Third Parties, and (C) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions.

(c) In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Parties agree to use reasonable best efforts to, and cause their Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts to, promptly take all actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Entity as a condition to granting any Clearances, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve objections, if any, of the FTC or DOJ, or other Governmental Entities of any Required Non-U.S. Jurisdiction so as to obtain such Clearances under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the commencement of a lawsuit by the FTC, the DOJ or other Governmental Entities under Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any Order in any Legal Proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the

Completion or delaying the Completion beyond the End Date, including (i) negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, the sale, lease, license, divestiture or disposition of any assets, rights, product lines, or businesses of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) terminating existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) terminating any venture or other arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iv) creating any relationship, contractual rights or obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (v) effectuating any other change or restructuring of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (vi) otherwise taking or committing to take any actions with respect to the businesses, product lines or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the actions referred to in clauses (i) through (vi), collectively, “Remedy Actions”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (including the “reasonable best efforts standard” set forth in Section 7.2(b)), neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to proffer, consent to or agree to or effect any Remedy Action (x) with respect to any assets, categories of assets or portions of any business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if, in each case, any such Remedy Action would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the business, assets or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (y) with respect to the items listed on Section 7.2(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule or (z) for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any assets, categories of assets or portions of any business of Parent or its Affiliates (such effect referred to in clauses (x), (y), or (z), a “Burdensome Condition”); provided, further, that the Company shall only be permitted to take or commit to take such Remedy Action with the prior written consent of Parent; provided, further, that Parent may only require the Company to take or commit to take any such Remedy Action if such Remedy Action is binding on the Company only in the event the Completion occurs.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, if applicable, to) (i) promptly, but in no event later than 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement (or such later date as may be agreed in writing among the Parties), make an appropriate filing of all Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions and (ii) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement and in any event no later than January 16, 2023 (or such later date as may be agreed in writing among the Parties), make all other filings, notifications or other consents as may be required to be made or obtained by such Party under foreign Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws in those jurisdictions identified in Section 7.2(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which contains the list of the only non U.S. jurisdictions where filing, notification, expiration of a waiting period or consent or approval is a condition to Completion as agreed by the Parties (each, a “Required Non-U.S. Jurisdiction”).

(e) Parent shall consult in advance with the Company, and take into account in good faith the views of the Company, regarding the strategy for all matters with any Governmental Entity; provided, that, in the event of a disagreement regarding such strategy, the determination of Parent shall be final so long as consistent with its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Entity to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, or pull and refile under the HSR Act, or other applicable Antitrust Laws or Foreign Investment Laws, without the prior written consent of the other Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 7.2, each Party

hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions, in each case, as required under applicable Antitrust Laws, (ii) give the other Parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation or Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Entity or brought by a Third Party before any Governmental Entity, in each case, with respect to the Transactions under applicable Antitrust Laws, (iii) promptly keep the other Parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding under applicable Antitrust Laws, (iv) promptly inform the other Parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Entity in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation or Legal Proceeding under applicable Antitrust Laws, (v) promptly furnish to the other Party, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to outside counsel and consultants retained by such counsel, with copies of documents, communications or materials provided to or received from any Governmental Entity in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding under applicable Antitrust Laws, (vi) subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to counsel and outside consultants retained by such counsel, and to the extent reasonably practicable, consult in advance and cooperate with the other Parties and consider in good faith the views of the other Parties in connection with any substantive communication, analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding under applicable Antitrust laws and (vii) except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Entity or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation or Legal Proceeding in respect of the Transactions, each Party shall provide advance notice of and permit authorized Representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation or Legal Proceeding under applicable Antitrust Laws and to have access to and be consulted in advance in connection with any argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted to any Governmental Entity in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation or Legal Proceeding under applicable Antitrust Laws; provided that documents and information provided to the other Party pursuant to this paragraph may be redacted (A) to remove references to valuation of the Company or the identity of alternative acquirers, (B) to comply with contractual arrangements, or (C) to protect privilege, and may be limited to outside counsel and outside consultants retained by such counsel. Each Party shall supply as promptly as practicable such information, documentation, other material or testimony that may be reasonably requested by any Governmental Entity, including by responding at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any request for additional information, documents or other materials, including any “second request” under the HSR Act, received by any Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any Governmental Entity in connection with such applications or filings for the Transactions under applicable Antitrust Laws. Parent and Acquirer Sub shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act and for any filings required under Required Non-U.S. Jurisdictions, but the Company shall bear its own costs for the preparation of any such filings.

(f) Parent agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its controlled Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, acquire or agree to acquire any assets, business or any Person (whether by merger, consolidation, license, purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of or equity in any Person or by any other manner) if the entering into of an agreement relating to or the

consummation of such acquisition, merger, consolidation or purchase, whether individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to (i) impose any material delay in the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period or impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or increase the risk of not obtaining, any Clearance under the HSR Act or any other Required Non-U.S. Jurisdiction, (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other order, decree, decision, determination or judgment that would materially delay, restrain, prevent, enjoin or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Acquisition and the other Transactions or (iii) otherwise prevent the consummation of the Acquisition and the Transactions by the End Date.

(g) In the event that the latest date on which the Irish High Court or the Irish Takeover Panel would permit Completion to occur is prior to the End Date, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain consent of the Irish High Court or the Irish Takeover Panel, as applicable, to an extension of such latest date (but not beyond the End Date). If (i) the Irish High Court or the Irish Takeover Panel require the lapsing of the Scheme prior to the End Date, or (ii) the Condition set out in paragraph 1 of the Conditions fails to be satisfied, the Parties shall (unless and until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9) take all reasonable actions required in order to re-initiate the Scheme process as promptly as practicable (it being understood that no such lapsing described in clause (i) or (ii) shall, in and of itself, result in a termination of, or otherwise affect any rights or obligations of any Party under, this Agreement).

7.3 Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of not less than six years from the Effective Date, Parent shall cause the Company or any applicable Subsidiary thereof (collectively, the “D&O Indemnifying Parties”), to the fullest extent each such D&O Indemnifying Party is so authorized or permitted by applicable Laws, as now or hereafter in effect, to: (i) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under the applicable Laws and pursuant to existing arrangements and Organizational Documents of the Company Group (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) each person who is at the date of this Agreement, was previously, or during the period from the date of this Agreement through the date of the Effective Time, serving as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, trustee or officer of any other entity or any benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, in connection with any D&O Claim and any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, Claim Expenses, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of any thereof) relating to or resulting from a D&O Claim; and (ii) promptly advance to such D&O Indemnified Party any Claim Expenses incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating with respect to any D&O Claim in advance of the final disposition of such D&O Claim, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the D&O Indemnified Party of any Claim Expenses incurred by such D&O Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification or advancement, in each case without the requirement of any bond or other security, but subject to the D&O Indemnifying Party’s receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of such D&O Indemnified Party to repay such Claim Expenses if it is ultimately determined under applicable Laws that such D&O

Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. All rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to be a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of such Person’s heirs, successors, executors and personal and legal representatives. As used in this Section 7.3: (x) the term “D&O Claim” means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed Legal Proceeding, whether instituted by any Governmental Entity or any other Person, arising out of or pertaining to acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time that relate to such D&O Indemnified Party’s duties or service (A) as a director or officer of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary thereof at or prior to the Effective Time (including with respect to any acts, facts, events or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement, the Scheme, the Acquisition and the consummation of the other Transactions (including the Acquisition), including the consideration and approval thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith) or (B) as a director, trustee or officer of any other entity or any benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (for which such D&O Indemnified Party is or was serving at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) at or prior to the Effective Time; and (y) the term “Claim Expenses” means reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses and obligations (including experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers and transcript fees) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in any D&O Claim for which indemnification is authorized pursuant to this Section 7.3(a), including any action relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by a D&O Indemnified Party.

(b) For a period of not less than six years from the Effective Date, Parent shall cause the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and limitations on liability of directors and officers than are set out in the Organizational Documents of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of at least six years from the Effective Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party, unless any modification or amendment is required by applicable Laws (but then only to the extent required by applicable Laws). At the Company’s option and expense, prior to the Effective Time, the Company may purchase (and pay in full the aggregate premium for) a six-year prepaid “tail” insurance policy (which policy by its express terms shall survive the Acquisition) of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are no less favorable to the directors and officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries as the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policy or policies with a claims period of six years from the Effective Time for D&O Claims arising from facts, acts, events or omissions that occurred on or prior to the Effective Time; provided that the premium for such tail policy shall not exceed 300% of the annual amount currently paid by the Company and its Subsidiaries for such insurance (such amount being the “Maximum Premium”). If the Company fails to obtain such tail policy prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall obtain such a tail policy; provided, however, that the premium for such tail policy shall not be required to exceed the Maximum Premium; provided, further, that if such tail policy cannot be obtained or can be obtained only by paying a premium in excess of the Maximum Premium, Parent shall only be required to obtain as much coverage as can be obtained by paying a premium equal to the Maximum Premium. Parent and the Company shall cause any such policy (whether obtained by Parent or the Company) to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and Parent shall, following the Effective Time, cause the Company to honor all its obligations thereunder.

(c) If Parent or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company, partnership or other Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) liquidates, dissolves or winds-up, or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Company, as applicable, assume the obligations set out in this Section 7.3.

(d) The provisions of this Section 7.3 are intended to be for the express benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each D&O Indemnified Party (who are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.3), his or her heirs and his or her personal Representatives, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Parent, and following the Effective Time, the Company. The exculpation and indemnification provided for by this Section 7.3 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which a D&O Indemnified Party is entitled, pursuant to applicable Laws or Contract made available to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement.

7.4 Employment and Benefit Matters.

(a) From the date of Completion through the first anniversary of the Effective Time (or, if shorter, the period of employment of the relevant Continuing Employee) (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), Parent shall provide or shall cause Acquirer Sub to provide, to (i) each Continuing Employee a base salary or hourly rate that is no less favorable than the base salary or hourly rate provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) each Continuing Employee target annual or quarterly cash bonus, incentive compensation (excluding any special, retention or one-time award opportunities) and commissions opportunities (as applicable) that are no less favorable than the target annual or quarterly cash bonus, incentive compensation (excluding any special, retention or one-time award opportunities) and commissions opportunities provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) to the Continuing Employees as a group, employee benefits that are, in the aggregate, no less favorable than the employee benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries; provided that for purposes of determining whether such employee benefits are no less favorable in the aggregate, any equity, defined benefit pension plan benefits, nonqualified deferred compensation, retiree health or welfare benefits, post-termination health or welfare benefits, and retention or change in control payments or awards shall not be taken into account.

(b) In addition, Acquirer Sub shall provide, and Parent shall cause Acquirer Sub to provide, to each Continuing Employee who experiences a termination of employment during the Benefits Continuation Period, severance, termination and similar benefits that are no less favorable than the severance, termination and similar benefits to which such Continuing Employee would have been entitled upon such a termination of employment under any Employee Plan that is a severance plan, policy, program, agreement or arrangement and set out on Section 7.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “Severance Arrangements”) and in which such Continuing Employee was eligible to participate as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 7.4(b), only the existing terms of the Severance Arrangements will be taken into account, and any modifications to the Severance Arrangements that are effective after the date of this Agreement but prior to the Effective Time (and are made without Parent’s advance written consent) will be disregarded.

(c) For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and determining level of benefits under the employee benefit plans of Parent or any Affiliate providing benefits to any Continuing Employees following the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company Group and its predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent and for the same purpose as such Continuing Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under the corresponding Employee Plan in which the Continuing Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time, provided that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to (i) any defined benefit pension plan or any retiree or post-termination health or welfare benefits, (ii) any benefit plan that is frozen or for which participation is limited to a grandfathered population, (iii) any cash- or equity-based compensation arrangements, or (iv) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation with respect to the same period of service, and provided, further, that such service shall only be credited to the extent service with Parent is credited for similarly situated employees of the Parent Group under the New Plans. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (A) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is replacing comparable coverage under an Employee Plan in which such Continuing Employee had already satisfied any such waiting period and participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (B) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (1) cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless and to the extent the individual, immediately prior to entry in the New Plans, was subject to such conditions under the comparable Old Plans, and (2) to the extent not prohibited by the terms, or by any third party administrator, of any New Plan that is a fully insured medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefit plan of Parent or any Affiliate, credit each Continuing Employee with all deductible payments, co-payments and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents under the medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefit plans of the Company prior to the Completion during the plan year in which the Completion occurs for the purpose of determining the extent to which such Continuing Employee has satisfied the deductible, co-payments or maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for such plan year under any New Plan that is a medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefit plan of Parent or its Affiliates, as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such plan (to the extent such credit would have been given under comparable Old Plans prior to the Completion).

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, if requested by Parent in writing, the Company shall cause any United States Tax-qualified defined contribution plan (collectively, the “Company 401(k) Plan”) to be terminated effective immediately prior to the Effective Time. In the event that Parent requests that the Company 401(k) Plan be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such Plan has been terminated (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and approval by Parent) not later than the day immediately preceding the Effective Time. Upon the distribution of the assets in the accounts under the Company 401(k) Plan to the

participants, Parent shall permit the Continuing Employees who are then actively employed by Parent or its Subsidiaries to make rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code), in the form of cash, from the Company 401(k) Plan to the applicable tax-qualified defined contribution plans of Parent or its Subsidiaries.

(e) Except as permitted pursuant to Section 10.1, prior to making any broad-based communications (written or oral) to the directors, officers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the intended communication, Parent shall have a reasonable period of time to review and comment on the communication, and the Company shall consider any such comments in good faith.

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 7.4 (whether express or implied) shall (i) create or confer any rights, remedies or claims upon any employee of the Company or any of its Affiliates or any right of employment or engagement or continued employment or engagement or any particular term or condition of employment or engagement for any Company Employee or any other Person, (ii) be considered or deemed to establish, amend, or modify any Employee Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement, or Contract, (iii) prohibit or limit the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to amend, modify or terminate any benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement, or contract at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them or (iv) confer any rights or benefits (including any third-party beneficiary rights) on any Person other than the Parties.

7.5 Employee Share Purchase Plan. As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall take all actions necessary or required under the Company ESPP and applicable Laws to (i) limit participation in the Company ESPP to those employees who participated in the Company ESPP immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (ii) prevent participants from increasing their payroll deductions or purchase elections from those in effect immediately prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (iii) ensure that, except for any offering period in existence under the Company ESPP on the date of this Agreement, no offering period shall be authorized or commenced on or after the date of this Agreement, and no existing offering period shall be extended, and (iv) if the Completion shall occur prior to the end of any offering period in existence under the Company ESPP on the date of this Agreement, cause the rights of participants in the Company ESPP with respect to any such offering period (and purchase period thereunder) then underway under the Company ESPP to be determined by treating the last Business Day prior to the Effective Time as the last day of such offering period and purchase period. The Company shall terminate the Company ESPP in its entirety effective as of the Effective Time, contingent upon the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the Company ESPP) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 7.5.

7.6 Financing.

(a) From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Completion and the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9, in a timely manner so as not to delay the Completion, the Parent Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate, no later than the date the Completion is required to occur pursuant to this Agreement, the Financing on the terms set forth in the Debt Agreement and (ii) satisfy or cause to be satisfied (or waived) on a timely basis all conditions to funding described in the Debt Agreement.

(b) In the event any portion of the Financing contemplated by the Debt Agreement becomes unavailable regardless of the reason therefor (as determined by Parent in its reasonable discretion after consulting with the Financing Sources), (i) Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing of such unavailability and the reason therefor and (ii) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to use their reasonable best efforts, to obtain as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternative debt financing for any such portion from alternative sources (the “Alternative Financing”) in an amount sufficient, when taken together with cash of Parent and its Subsidiaries (but not including the Company and its Subsidiaries) and the other sources of funds immediately available to Parent at the Completion to pay the Financing Amounts and that do not include any conditions to the consummation of such alternative debt financing that are more onerous than the conditions set forth in the Debt Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, the Parent may also obtain Alternative Financing at its sole discretion which replaces the Financing, so long as the Parent is able to give the representations set forth in Section 6.2(h) with respect to such Alternative Financing as at the date such Alternative Financing becomes effective (with references to “date hereof,” the “Financing,” “Financing Sources” and “Debt Agreement” (and other like terms) in that section deemed to have been replaced with references to the date such Alternative Financing, the commitments thereunder and the agreements with respect thereto becomes effective).

(c) Subject to the proviso in this Section 9.1(c), upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 9, no Party (or any partner, member, manager, stockholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent or other representative of such Party) shall have any liability in connection with this Agreement or the Transaction, other than the obligation of the Company (if applicable) to reimburse Parent for the Reimbursement Amount, subject to the Cap and the obligation of Parent (if applicable) to pay the Company (or an entity designated by the Company) the Reverse Termination Payment; provided, however, that nothing herein shall release any Party from liability (including any monetary damages or other appropriate remedy) for Willful Breach.

9.2 Certain Effects of Termination.

(a) In the event of a Parent Payment Event, the Company shall reimburse Parent for the Reimbursement Amount, subject to the Cap (the “Reimbursement Payment”), in immediately available funds within seven Business Days following the Company’s receipt of invoices or written documentation supporting Parent’s request for a Reimbursement Payment. The Reimbursement Amount will be exclusive of any VAT incurred by Parent or its Subsidiaries attributable to third party costs other than Irrecoverable VAT incurred by Parent or its Subsidiaries. In the event of a Specified Termination, then Parent shall pay to the Company (or an entity designated by the Company) $974,415,054 (the “Reverse Termination Payment”) in immediately available funds within seven Business Days thereafter; provided that the Company shall not be entitled to receive the Reverse Termination Payment if the Company’s breach of this Agreement shall have been the primary cause of such Specified Termination.

(b) The “Parent Payment Events” means where the Parties have issued the Rule 2.7 Announcement and this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.1(a):

(i) by Parent pursuant to a Change of Recommendation Termination;

(ii) by the Company pursuant to a Superior Proposal Termination; or

(iii) all of the following occur:

(A) this Agreement is terminated (x) by Parent pursuant to a Company Breach Termination as a result of a material breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement in this Agreement described in Section 9.1(a)(iii)(A) that first occurred following the making of a Company Alternative Proposal of the type referenced in the following clause (B), (y) by Parent or the Company pursuant to a Non Approval Termination but if such termination is by the Company at such time Parent would be permitted to terminate this Agreement; and

(B) prior to the Scheme Meeting, a Company Alternative Proposal was publicly disclosed or announced and not withdrawn (or, in the case of a Company Breach Termination as a result of a material breach or failure to perform any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, was made publicly or privately to the Company Board), or any Person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make a Company Alternative Proposal that has not been withdrawn (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 9.2(b)(iii)(B) references to “20%” in the definition of Company Alternative Proposal shall be deemed to refer to “50%”); and

(C) (x) a Company Alternative Proposal is consummated within 12 months after such termination, or (y) a definitive agreement providing for a Company Alternative Proposal is entered into within 12 months after such termination and is subsequently consummated.

(i) by Parent or the Company pursuant to an End Date Termination, if, on the date of such termination, each of the Conditions has been satisfied or, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, waived, (other than (X) paragraphs 3.1, 3.2 or 3.3 of the Conditions (only as a result of an Order or injunction under (1) the HSR Act or (2) any other Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Laws in any Required Non-U.S. Jurisdiction), or (Y) paragraphs 2.3 and 2.4 of the Conditions or (Z) any Condition that by its nature can only be satisfied on the Sanction Date or, in the alternative to (Y) and (Z) where the Acquisition is implemented by Takeover Offer, any other condition that by its nature can only be satisfied by no later than the latest date upon which the Takeover Offer may be declared unconditional in all respects);

(ii) by Parent or the Company pursuant to a Restraining Order Termination pursuant to or in connection with (1) the HSR Act or (2) any other Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Laws in any Required Non-U.S. Jurisdiction; or

(iii) by the Company pursuant to a Parent Breach Termination with respect to Section 7.2 in connection with (1) the HSR Act or (2) any other Antitrust Law or Foreign Investment Laws in any Required Non-U.S. Jurisdiction.

(d) Single Payment Only. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event will Parent or the Company be required to pay, as applicable, the Reverse Termination Payment or the Reimbursement Payment on more than one occasion, whether or not the Reverse Termination Payment or the Reimbursement Payment may be payable pursuant to more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and upon the occurrence of different events.

(e) VAT.

(i) VAT on the Reimbursement Payment. Parent and the Company consider that any amounts payable under this Section 9 do not represent consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes and agree to use all reasonable efforts to secure that any Reimbursement Payment should not represent consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes (including not taking any contrary position in any Tax filing or return or in any correspondence with any Tax Authority). If and to the extent that any relevant Tax Authority determines that any Reimbursement Payment is consideration for a taxable supply and that the Company (or any member of a VAT Group of which the Company is a member) is liable to account to a Tax Authority for VAT in respect of such supply and such VAT is Irrecoverable VAT:

(A) the sum of the total amount payable by the Company by way of any Reimbursement Payment, together with any Irrecoverable VAT arising in respect of the supply for which the Reimbursement Payment is consideration (“Company Irrecoverable VAT”), shall not exceed the Cap and the total amount of the Reimbursement Payment shall be reduced to ensure such;

(B) to the extent that the Company has already paid amounts in respect of any Reimbursement Payment the sum of which, when combined with any Company Irrecoverable VAT, exceeds the Cap, Parent shall repay to Company, by way of a reduction in the amount of the Reimbursement Payment, an amount necessary to ensure that the sum of the total remaining Reimbursement Payment combined with any Company Irrecoverable VAT arising in connection with such does not exceed the Cap; and

(C) the Company shall (and shall procure that any applicable member of the Company Group shall) accommodate any reasonable action that Parent requests, in writing and without delay, to avoid, dispute, defend, resist, appeal or compromise any determination of a Tax Authority that any Reimbursement Payment is consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes and/or that Company or any member of a VAT Group of which the Company is a member is liable to account to the relevant Tax Authority for VAT in respect of such supply and/or that all or any part of such VAT is Irrecoverable VAT.

(ii) VAT on the Reverse Termination Payment. Parent and the Company consider that any amounts payable under this Section 9 do not represent consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes and agree to use all reasonable efforts to secure that any Reverse Termination Payment should not represent consideration for a taxable supply for VAT purposes (including not taking any contrary position in any Tax filing or return or in any correspondence with any Tax Authority). If and to the extent that any relevant Tax Authority determines that any Reverse Termination Payment is consideration for a taxable supply and that the Company or an entity designated by the Company (or any member of a VAT Group of which the Company or an entity designated by the Company is a member) is liable to account to a Tax Authority for VAT in respect of such supply, Parent shall pay, in addition to the Reverse Termination Payment, an amount equal to such VAT to the Company or an entity designated by the Company (or any member of a VAT Group of which the Company or an entity designated by the Company is a member) immediately upon receipt of a valid VAT invoice.

(f) Recovered VAT. If the Reimbursement Payment is reduced in accordance with Section 9.2(e)(i)(A) and / or (B) and the Company (or any member of a VAT Group of which the Company is a member) subsequently becomes entitled to recover all, or any part, of the Company Irrecoverable VAT amount as originally applied to the calculation in accordance with Section 9.2(e)(i)(A) and / or (B) whether by way of credit or refund from the relevant Tax Authority, the Company shall notify Parent without delay and the Reimbursement Payment shall be increased to reflect the correct amount of Company Irrecoverable VAT subject to a maximum of the original Reimbursement Payment. However, the increase of the Reimbursement Payment shall be subject to a maximum to ensure at all times that the sum of the total increased Reimbursement Payment combined with any remaining Company Irrecoverable VAT arising in connection with such does not exceed the Cap. Where there is an increase in the Reimbursement Payment in accordance with this Section 9.2(f), as soon as practicable (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days of recovering whether by way of credit or refund any such VAT from the relevant Tax Authority), the Company (or the relevant member of a VAT Group of which the Company is a member) shall pay to Parent the appropriate amount by way of an increase in the Reimbursement Payment.

(g) Outside the European Union. Parent confirms that it is established outside of the European Union for VAT purposes and is a taxable person for VAT purposes within the meaning of applicable VAT Laws.

(h) Sole and Exclusive Remedy.

(i) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, Xxxxxx’s receipt of the Reimbursement Payment and any other amount to the extent owed pursuant to Section 9.2 and Parent’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to Section 10.7 will be the sole and exclusive remedies of (x) Parent and Acquirer Sub and (y) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates (other than Parent or Acquirer Sub), members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of Parent and Acquirer Sub (the Persons in clauses (x) and (y) collectively, the “Parent Related Parties”) against any of (A) the Company and its Affiliates; and (B) the former, current and future holders of any equity, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders and assignees of each of the Company and its Affiliates (the Persons in clauses (A) and (B) collectively, the “Company Related Parties”) in respect of this Agreement, the Transactions, any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable Laws arising out of any breach, termination or failure. Parent’s receipt (or the receipt by such other Person as Parent may designate) of the Reimbursement Payment and any other amount to the extent owed pursuant to Section 9.2 will be the only monetary damages the Parent Related Parties may recover from Company Related Parties in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable Laws arising out of any such breach, termination or failure, and upon payment of such amount, (A) none of the Company Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to any of the Parent Related Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any matters forming the basis of such termination (except that the Parties (or their respective Affiliates) will remain obligated with respect to, and Parent may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 9.1(c), as applicable); and (B) none of Parent, Acquirer Sub or any other Person will be entitled to bring or maintain any Law against any Company Related Party arising out of this Agreement, the Transactions, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.2(h)(i) will not relieve the Company from liability (I) for any Willful Breach of this Agreement or (II) for any breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(ii) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, the Company’s receipt of the Reverse Termination Payment and any other amount to the extent owed pursuant to Section 9.2 and the Company’s right to seek specific performance pursuant to Section 10.7 will be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Company Related Parties against any of Parent Related Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Transactions, any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable Laws arising out of any breach, termination or failure. The Company’s receipt (or the receipt by such other Person as the Company may designate) of the Reverse Termination Payment and any other amount to the extent owed pursuant to Section 9.2 will be the only monetary damages the Company Related Parties may recover from Parent Related Parties in respect of this Agreement,

any agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, the termination of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the Transactions or any claims or actions under applicable Laws arising out of any such breach, termination or failure, and upon payment of such amount, (A) none of the Parent Related Parties will have any further liability or obligation to any of the Company Related Parties relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any matters forming the basis of such termination (except that the Parties (or their respective Affiliates) will remain obligated with respect to, and the Company may be entitled to remedies with respect to, the Confidentiality Agreement and Section 9.1(c), as applicable); and (B) none of the Company or any other Person will be entitled to bring or maintain any Law against any Parent Related Party arising out of this Agreement, the Transactions, any agreement executed in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 9.2 will not relieve Parent from liability (I) for any Willful Breach of this Agreement or (II) for any breaches of the Confidentiality Agreement.

(iii) Each of the Parties acknowledges that any amount payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 9.2, including the Reimbursement Payment, does not constitute a penalty, but rather shall constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent Parties for the disposition of its rights under this Agreement in the circumstances in which such amounts are due and payable, which amounts would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(iv) Each of the Parties acknowledges that any amount payable by Parent pursuant to this Section 9.2, including the Reverse Termination Payment, does not constitute a penalty, but rather shall constitute liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Company and the entities designated by the Company for the operational impact of entering this Agreement and all related consequences on ongoing business activities in the event of a Specified Termination, which amounts would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

(v) Any amount payable to the Company or its designee, or to Parent or its designee, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall be paid in such amounts and to such Persons as the Company or Parent, as applicable, shall designate within seven Business Days of the Specified Termination.

SECTION 10. GENERAL

10.1 Announcements. Subject to the requirements of applicable Laws or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or Governmental Entity (including the Panel), the Parties shall consult with each other as to the terms of, the timing of and the manner of publication of any formal public announcement which either Party may make primarily regarding the Acquisition, the Scheme or this Agreement. Parent and the Company shall each give the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon any such public announcement and shall not issue any such public announcement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Laws or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or Governmental Entity (including the Irish Takeover Panel). For clarity, the provisions of this Section 10.1 do not apply to a redemption

of the Company Notes, any announcement, document or publication in connection with a Company Alternative Proposal, the Company Superior Proposal or a Company Change of Recommendation or any amendment to the terms of the Scheme proposed by Parent that would effect an increase in the Consideration whether before or after a Company Change of Recommendation. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (a) each Party may, without such consultation or consent, make any public statement in response to questions from the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences, make internal announcements to any officer or other employee, or individual who is an individual independent contractor, consultant or director, of or to any of the Company Group and make disclosures in Company SEC Documents, so long as such statements are consistent in tone and substance with previous press releases, public disclosures, public statements or statements to such Persons made jointly by the Parties (or individually, if approved by the other Party); and (b) a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Party hereto but subject to giving advance notice to the other Party, issue any such press release or make any such public announcement or statement as may be required by applicable Laws.

10.2 Notices.

(a) Any notice or other document to be served under this Agreement may be delivered by overnight delivery service (with proof of service) or hand delivery, or sent in writing (including email transmission, the receipt of which is confirmed other than by out-of-office replies or other automatically generated responses), to the Party to be served as follows:

Otherwise, any such notice, request or communication shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.

10.3 Assignment. Neither Party shall assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided that Parent, without the Company’s consent, may assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more of its Subsidiaries and Acquirer Sub, without the Company’s consent, may assign its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or from time to time in part, to any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (provided that the prior consent in writing has been obtained from the Irish Takeover Panel in respect of each such assignment), but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Acquirer Sub, as applicable, of its obligations hereunder.

10.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement, and each Party may enter into this Agreement by executing a counterpart and delivering it to the other Party (by hand delivery, e-mail or otherwise).

10.5 Amendment. No amendment of this Agreement shall be binding unless the same shall be evidenced in writing duly executed by each of the Parties, except that, following approval by the Company Shareholders, there shall be no amendment to the provisions hereof which by applicable Laws would require further approval by the Company Shareholders without such further approval nor shall there be any amendment or change not permitted under applicable Laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 10.5, Sections 10.12(b) and 10.12(c), 10.13 and 10.14 may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in any manner materially adverse to the Financing Sources without the prior written consent of such Financing Sources party to any definitive agreement relating to the Financing (it being expressly agreed that the Financing Sources in their capacities as such shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.5 and shall be entitled to the protections of the provisions contained in this Section 10.5 as if they were a party to this Agreement).

10.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, the Rule 2.7 Announcement and any documents delivered by Parent and the Company in connection herewith (including the Company Disclosure Schedule), constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between Parent and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

10.7 Inadequacy of Damages. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law (i) for any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (ii) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms. It is accordingly agreed that, except where this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 9.1, the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages, and each Party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Subject to Section 9.1(b), the Parties further agree that (x) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 10.7, a Party shall not in any respect waive its right to seek any other form of relief that may be available to a Party under this Agreement and (y) nothing contained in this Section 10.7 shall require any Party to institute any proceeding for (or limit any Party’s right to institute any proceeding for) specific performance

under this Section 10.7 before exercising any termination right under Section 9.1 (and pursuing damages after such termination), nor shall the commencement of any action pursuant to this Section 10.7 or anything contained in this Section 10.7 restrict or limit any Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 or pursue any other remedies under this Agreement that may be available then or thereafter.

10.8 Disclosure Schedule References and SEC Document References.

(a) The Parties agree that each section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule, shall be deemed to qualify the corresponding section or subsection of this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not any particular section or subsection of this Agreement specifically refers to the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Parties further agree that disclosure of any item, matter or event in any particular section or subsection of either the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Schedule, to which the relevance of such disclosure would be reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the omission of a cross-reference to such other section or subsections.

(b) The Parties agree that in no event shall any cautionary, predictive or forward-looking statements contained in any part of any Company SEC Document entitled “Risk Factors,” “Forward-Looking Statements,” “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Special Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” or “Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” be deemed to be an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of or otherwise qualify) any representations and warranties of any Party contained in this Agreement.

(c) Remedies and Waivers. No delay or omission by either Party in exercising any right, power or remedy provided by Law or under this Agreement shall affect that right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver of it. The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy provided by Law or under this Agreement shall not preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10.9 Severability.

(a) If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement or the Acquisition is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement or, as appropriate, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Acquisition, so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an equitable manner in order that the Transactions may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible in accordance with applicable Laws.

(b) If at any time any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Law of any jurisdiction, that shall not affect or impair (i) the legality, validity or enforceability in that jurisdiction of any other provision of this Agreement; or (ii) the legality, validity or enforceability under the Law of any other jurisdiction of that or any other provision of this Agreement.

10.10 No Partnership and No Agency.

(a) Nothing in this Agreement and no action taken by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, a partnership, association, joint venture or other co-operative entity between any of the Parties.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement and no action taken by the Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute, or be deemed to constitute, either Party the agent of the other Party for any purpose. No Party has, pursuant to this Agreement, any authority or power to bind or to contract in the name of the other Party to this Agreement.

10.11 Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such cost or expense, except that (a) the Irish Takeover Panel’s document review fees shall be borne by Parent, (b) the costs associated with the filing, printing, publication and proposing of the Rule 2.7 Announcement shall be borne by Parent, (c) the costs associated with the filing, printing, publication and proposing of the Scheme Document, Proxy Statement and any other materials required to be proposed to the Company Shareholders pursuant SEC rules, the Irish Companies Act or the Irish Takeover Rules shall be borne by the Company, (d) the filing fees incurred in connection with notifications with any Governmental Entities under any Antitrust Laws, shall be borne by Parent and (e) the cost incurred in connection with soliciting proxies in connection with the Scheme Meeting and the EGM shall be borne by the Company.

10.12 Governing Law and Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement and all Legal Proceedings based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware; provided, however, that the Acquisition and the Scheme and matters related thereto (including matters related to the Takeover Rules) shall, to the extent required by the Laws of Ireland, and the interpretation of the duties of directors of the Company shall, be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of Ireland.

(b) Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and any appellate courts therefrom, are to have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions and, for such purposes, irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waives, 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 Legal Proceeding in any such court. Any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions shall therefore be brought in the state and federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, and any appellate courts therefrom. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Scheme and matters related to the sanction thereof shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Irish High Court and any appellate courts therefrom.

(c) Each of the Parties acknowledges and irrevocably agrees (i) that any Legal 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 Legal 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 Legal 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 Legal Proceeding in any such court, (iv) that a final judgment in any such Legal 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 Legal 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 10.12(c) and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions contained in this Section 10.12(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 10.12(c)(i) IN ANY SUCH COURT DESCRIBED IN SECTION 10.12(c)(i) (IT BEING EXPRESSLY AGREED THAT THE FINANCING SOURCES IN THEIR CAPACITIES AS SUCH SHALL BE THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THIS SECTION 10.12(d) AND SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ENFORCE THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 10.12(d) AS IF THEY WERE A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT).

10.13 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except to the extent:

(a) as expressly provided in Section 7.3;

(b) as expressly provided in Section 7.8(b);

(d) as expressly provided in Section 10.5;

(e) as expressly provided in Section 10.12(b);

(f) as expressly provided in Section 10.12(c);

(g) as expressly provided in Section 10.12(d); and

(h) as expressly provided in Section 10.14,

this Agreement is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the Company and the Parent Parties any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.14 Waiver of Claims Against Financing Sources. Without limiting in any respect the liabilities of the Financing Sources to Parent or its Affiliates, or the remedies of Parent or its Affiliates against the Financing Sources under any other agreement to which they are both parties, none of the Financing Sources shall have any liability to the Parties or their Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, whether at Law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and neither the Parties nor any of their Affiliates will have any rights or claims against the Financing Sources under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or its Affiliates be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement against any of the Financing Sources (it being expressly agreed that the Financing Sources in their capacities as such shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 10.14 and shall be entitled to enforce the provisions contained in this Section 10.14 as if they were a party to this Agreement).

10.15 Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and in any certificate or other writing delivered pursuant hereto shall not survive the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9, except that (i) Section 7.3 and Section 8 shall survive the Effective Time, and (ii) Section 7.8(c), Sections 9.1(b)-(c), Section 9.2 and this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.
