ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

Section 1.01          The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, and pursuant to Section 104H of the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the “Bermuda Companies Act”), at the Effective Time, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”). At the Effective Time, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue as the surviving company in the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).

Section 1.02          Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, 1888 Century Park East, Suite 2100, Los Angeles, California, at 9:00 a.m. New York time on the seventh (7th) Business Day following the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefits thereof of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing (so long as such conditions are reasonably capable of being satisfied), but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) or at such other date, time or place (or by means of remote communication) as the Company and Parent may mutually agree in writing (the date on which the Closing actually occurs, the “Closing Date”).
-2-


Section 1.03          Effective Time. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub will (a) on the Closing Date, execute and deliver the Statutory Merger Agreement; (b) on or prior to the Closing Date, cause an application for registration of the Surviving Company (the “Merger Application”) to be executed and delivered to the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda (the “Registrar”) as provided under Section 108 of the Bermuda Companies Act and to be accompanied by the following documents required by Section 108(2) of the Bermuda Companies Act: (i) a certified copy of the resolutions of the Special Committee and the Company Board and the shareholders or other authority of the Company; (ii) a certified copy of the resolutions of the board of directors of Merger Sub and Parent, as the sole shareholder of Merger Sub; (iii) a notice of the Merger containing the registered office address of the Surviving Company, the memorandum of association of the Surviving Company, and a statement confirming that the Surviving Company is to be registered as the Surviving Company pursuant to the Merger; and (iv) a statutory declaration by an officer of each of Merger Sub and the Company that establishes to the satisfaction of the Registrar that there are reasonable grounds for believing that each merging company is, and the Surviving Company will be, able to pay its liabilities as they become due, that the realizable value of the Surviving Company’s assets will not be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and issued capital of all classes; and that either no creditor will be prejudiced by the Merger, or adequate notices have been given to any such creditor; and (c) cause to be included in the Merger Application a request that the Registrar issue the certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) on the Closing Date at the time of day mutually agreed upon by the Company and Parent and set forth in the Merger Application. The Merger will become effective upon the issuance of the Certificate of Merger by the Registrar or such other time and date as may be set forth in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”). The Company, Parent, and Merger Sub agree that they will request that the Registrar provide in the Certificate of Merger that the effective date of the Merger be the Closing Date.

Section 1.04          Effects. The Merger will have the effects set forth in this Agreement and Section 109(2) of the Bermuda Companies Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises of the Company and Merger Sub will vest in the Surviving Company, and all debts, Liabilities and duties of the Company and Merger Sub will become the debts, Liabilities and duties of the Surviving Company.

Section 1.05          Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws. At the Effective Time, subject to Section 6.04, (a) the memorandum of association of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action, become the memorandum of association of the Surviving Company and (b) the bye-laws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time will, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action, become the bye-laws of the Surviving Company, in each case except that references to the name of Merger Sub will be replaced by references to the name of the Surviving Company and until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.
-3-


Section 1.06          Directors and Officers of the Surviving Company.

(a)          Except as otherwise determined by Parent and notified in writing to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, (i) the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the directors of the Surviving Company following the Effective Time and (ii) the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will be the officers of the Surviving Company following the Effective Time, in each case, until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall entitle Parent or Merger Sub to make any changes to the composition of the Company Board or the officers of the Company prior to the occurrence of the Effective Time.

(b)          If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company determines, in its sole discretion, or is advised, that any deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Company its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either of the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Company will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either the Company or Merger Sub, all such deeds, bills of sale, instruments of conveyance, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of each of such companies or otherwise, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Company or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

CONSTITUENT ENTITIES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.01          Effect on Share Capital. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub or any holder of any of the common shares, par value $0.000017727 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Shares”) or any of the common shares, par value $0.000017727 per share, of Merger Sub (the “Merger Sub Common Shares”):

(a)          Merger Sub Common Shares.  Each Merger Sub Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will (i) remain outstanding and (i) constitute one (1) fully paid and nonassessable common share of the Surviving Company and, together with the Parent Owned Shares treated in accordance with Section 2.01(b), will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Company.

(b)          Parent-Owned Company Common Shares. Each Company Common Share that is beneficially owned by Parent as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Parent Owned Share”) will (i) remain outstanding and (ii) constitute one (1) fully paid and nonassessable common share of the Surviving Company and, together with the Merger Sub Common Shares treated in accordance with Section 2.01(a), will constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Company.
-4-


(c)          Cancellation of Company Common Shares.

(i)          Each Company Common Share owned by the Company as a treasury share and each Company Common Share owned directly by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, in each case as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each an “Excluded Share”), will be cancelled, be no longer outstanding, and will automatically cease to exist, and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor.

(ii)          Subject to Section 2.02 and Section 2.04, each Company Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (A) Excluded Shares, which will be treated in accordance with Section 2.01(c)(i), (B) Parent Owned Shares, which will be treated in accordance with Section 2.01(b), and (C) Dissenting Shares, which will be treated in accordance with Section 2.03), will be cancelled, be no longer outstanding, and will automatically cease to exist, and, each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Company Common Shares (each, a “Certificate”) or that provides an affidavit in accordance with Section 2.02(i) and each holder of evidence in book-entry form that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Company Common Shares (“Book-Entry Shares”), will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive $ 27.00 in cash, without interest, in respect of each such Company Common Share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”).

(d)          Adjustments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if between the Agreement Date and the Effective Time, the outstanding Company Common Shares (or any other securities convertible therefor or exchangeable thereto) have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any issue, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, consolidation or exchange of shares, or any similar event has occurred, then any number or amount contained herein that is based upon the number of Company Common Shares (including the Per Share Merger Consideration) will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Common Shares, Company Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs, as applicable, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided that nothing in this Section 2.01(d) will be construed to permit the Company to take any action that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.02          Exchange of Certificates; Payment Fund.

(a)          Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Merger Sub will, at its sole cost and expense, appoint a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as paying agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment and delivery of the aggregate amount of Per Share Merger Consideration payable pursuant to this Article II (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”) and in connection therewith, Merger Sub will enter into an agreement reasonably acceptable to the Company relating to the Paying Agent’s responsibilities with respect to this Agreement. On the Closing Date, Parent will cause Merger Sub to deposit with the Paying Agent for payment in accordance with this Article II through the Paying Agent, cash sufficient to pay the Aggregate Merger Consideration. All such cash deposited with the Paying Agent is hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Fund.”
-5-


(b)          Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but in any event within three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Surviving Company will cause the Paying Agent to mail, or otherwise provide in the case of Book-Entry Shares, to each holder of record of Company Common Shares in respect of which the Per Share Merger Consideration is payable pursuant to Section 2.01 (i) a form of letter of transmittal in such form and containing such other provisions as Parent may reasonably designate and as are reasonably acceptable to the Company prior to the Effective Time (with the Company’s consent thereto not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and which specifies that delivery of the Per Share Merger Consideration will be effected and risk of loss and title will pass (A) with respect to such Company Common Shares evidenced by Certificates, only upon the proper delivery of the applicable Certificates and validly executed Letter of Transmittal to the Paying Agent (and such other documents as the Paying Agent may reasonably request) and (B) with respect to Book-Entry Shares, only upon proper delivery of an “agent’s message” regarding the book-entry transfer of Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of the transfer as the Paying Agent may reasonably request), and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Book-Entry Shares or Certificates in exchange for the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Common Shares represented thereby.

(c)          Merger Consideration Received in Connection with Exchange. Upon (i) in the case of Company Common Shares represented by a Certificate (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificate, as provided in Section 2.02(i)), the surrender of such Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent together with the Letter of Transmittal, duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, or (ii) in the case of Company Common Shares held as Book-Entry Shares, the receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Paying Agent, in each case together with such other documents as reasonably may be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares will be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the consideration payable in respect of the Company Common Shares previously represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.01. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares that has not been registered in the register of members of the Company, any Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Common Shares previously represented thereby may be paid to the transferee or transferees if the Certificate or Book-Entry Share representing such prior Company Common Shares is presented to the Paying Agent (or, in the case of Book-Entry Shares, proper evidence of such transfer) accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable share transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.02(c), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share, including any prior Company Common Shares represented thereby, will, at any time from and after the Effective Time, represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the consideration that the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share is entitled to receive from the Paying Agent or the Surviving Company in respect of the prior Company Common Shares represented thereby pursuant to this Section 2.02(c). No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable upon surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
-6-


(d)          No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Shares. The Per Share Merger Consideration when actually paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II in respect of each cancelled Company Common Share and each Company Share Award will be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Common Share or Company Share Award, as applicable. From and after the Effective Time, there will be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Company of Company Common Shares or Company Share Awards that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing Company Common Shares or Book-Entry Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Shares, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement (including Section 2.01(d)) or by applicable Law. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Company Common Shares or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent, the Surviving Company, or the Paying Agent for any reason, they will be cancelled as provided in this Article II, with the holder thereof entitled to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Common Shares represented thereby pursuant to Section 2.01 and, in the case of Dissenting Shares, subject to applicable Law.

(e)          Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund (including any interest or any other amounts received with respect thereto) that remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Shares on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time may, upon Parent’s request, be delivered to the Surviving Company (or its designee), and after any such delivery, any holder of a Company Common Share who has not theretofore complied with this Article II will thereafter look only to the Surviving Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of its claim for the Per Share Merger Consideration payable with respect thereto, without any interest thereon.

(f)          No Liability. None of the Surviving Company, Parent, Merger Sub, or the Paying Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of any portion of the Payment Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat, or similar Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in accordance with Article II that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares immediately prior to the date on which such portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g)          Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent will invest any cash in the Payment Fund if and as directed by Merger Sub or the Surviving Company. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments will be paid to, and be the property of, the Surviving Company. No investment losses resulting from any investment of the Payment Fund will diminish the rights of any of the Company’s shareholders to receive their portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration payable to them. To the extent there are losses with respect to such investments or the Payment Fund diminishes for any other reason below the level required to make prompt cash payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration required to be paid to each holder of Company Common Shares entitled to receipt thereof pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Surviving Company will promptly replace or restore the cash in the Payment Fund so as to ensure that the Payment Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient to make such cash payments.
-7-


(h)          Withholding Rights. Each of Parent, the Company, Merger Sub, the Surviving Company and the Paying Agent (without duplication) will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable Law. Amounts so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

(i)          Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. If any Certificate formerly representing any Company Common Share has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such amount as Parent or the Paying Agent may determine is reasonably necessary as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent (or, if subsequent to the termination of the Payment Fund and subject to Section 2.02(e), the Surviving Company) will deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Per Share Merger Consideration deliverable in respect of each Company Common Share represented thereby, pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 2.03          Dissenter’s Rights.

(a)          At the Effective Time, each Company Common Share held by a holder who, as of the Effective Time, (i) did not vote in favor of the Merger, (ii) complied with all of the provisions of the Bermuda Companies Act concerning the right of holders of Company Common Shares to require appraisal of their Company Common Shares pursuant to the Bermuda Companies Act, and (iii) did not fail to exercise such right or did not deliver an Appraisal Withdrawal (the “Dissenting Shares”), will automatically be cancelled and, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the holder thereof will have the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.01 and Section 2.02, and any holder of a Dissenting Share will, in the event that the fair value of a Dissenting Share as appraised by the Supreme Court of Bermuda under Section 106(6) of the Bermuda Companies Act (the “Appraised Fair Value”) is greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration, be entitled to receive such difference from the Surviving Company by payment made within thirty (30) days after such Appraised Fair Value is finally determined pursuant to such appraisal procedure.

(i)          initiate, solicit, propose, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiry or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Alternative Proposal (it being understood and agreed that ministerial acts that are not otherwise prohibited by this Section 5.03 (such as answering unsolicited phone calls and informing Persons of the provisions of this Section 5.03 or contacting any Person making an Alternative Proposal solely to ascertain facts or clarify terms and conditions) will not be deemed to “solicit,” “encourage” or “facilitate” for purposes of, or otherwise constitute a violation of, this Section 5.03);

(ii)          engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions with or negotiations relating to (other than Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates) any Alternative Proposal or any inquiry, proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal (other than informing Persons of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.03 or contacting any Person making an Alternative Proposal solely to ascertain facts or clarify terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal for the sole purpose of the Special Committee reasonably informing itself about such Alternative Proposal);

(iii)          provide any non-public information to any Person in connection with any Alternative Proposal or any proposal or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Proposal;

(iv)          otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt to make an Alternative Proposal; or

(v)          except as expressly permitted by, and after compliance with, Section 5.03(d)(ii) and Section 8.01(f), cause or permit the Company to enter into an Alternative Proposal.
-49-


(b)          Exceptions.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time, but not after, the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained in response to an unsolicited, bona fide written Alternative Proposal that did not arise from or in connection with a breach in any material respect of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.03, the Company may:

(i)          provide (or cause to be provided) information (including non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries) and afford access to the business, employees, officers, contracts, properties, assets, books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the Person who made such Alternative Proposal (and its Representatives); provided that such information has previously been Made Available to, or is Made Available to, Parent promptly following the time such information is made available to such Person and that, prior to furnishing any such information, the Company receives from the Person making such Alternative Proposal an executed confidentiality agreement that does not prohibit compliance by the Company with any of the provisions of this Agreement (it being understood that such confidentiality agreement need not contain a standstill provision or otherwise prohibit the making or amending of an Alternative Proposal to the extent such Alternative Proposal is made directly to the Company); and

(ii)          enter into, engage, participate in or continue any discussions or negotiations with any such Person (and its Representatives) regarding such Alternative Proposal;

in each case, if, and only if, prior to taking any action described in clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that based on the information then available and after consultation with its financial advisor that such Alternative Proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(c)          Notice of Alternative Proposals.  The Company shall promptly (and, in any event, within forty-eight (48) hours) following receipt (to the Knowledge of the Company) of any Alternative Proposal, give notice to Parent of the receipt of such Alternative Proposal, and the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal (including, in each case, the identity of the Person or group making any such Alternative Proposal), and the Company will as reasonably promptly as practicable provide to Parent (i) a copy of such Alternative Proposal, if in writing; or (ii) a summary of the material terms of such Alternative Proposal, if oral, and thereafter shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a current basis, of any material developments regarding the Alternative Proposal or any material changes to the status and terms of any such Alternative Proposal (including any amendments thereto).

(d)          No Change in Recommendation.

(i)          Except as permitted by Section 5.03(d)(ii) and Section 5.03(e), the Company Board, including any committee thereof (including the Special Committee), agrees that it shall not:

(A)          withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify (or publicly propose or resolve to withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify) the Company Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent;
-50-


(B)          fail to include the Company Recommendation in the Proxy Statement;

(C)          fail to recommend, within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such Alternative Proposal through a tender or exchange offer pursuant to Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act for outstanding Company Common Shares (other than by Parent, Merger Sub or an Affiliate of Parent), against acceptance of such tender offer or exchange offer by its shareholders; or

(D)          approve or recommend, or publicly declare advisable or publicly propose to enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.03(a) entered into in compliance with Section 5.03(a)) relating to any Alternative Proposal (any of the actions in the foregoing clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D), an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(ii)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, prior to the time the Company Shareholder Approval is obtained, the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change if (A)(1) an unsolicited, bona fide written Alternative Proposal that did not arise from or in connection with a breach in any material respect of the obligations set forth in Section 5.03(a) is received by the Company and is not withdrawn, and the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that such Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or (2) an Intervening Event has occurred, and (B) the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, that failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, as applicable, would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that an Adverse Recommendation Change or action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01 may not be made unless and until the Company has given Parent written notice of such action and the basis thereof six (6) Business Days in advance, which notice shall set forth in writing that the Special Committee intends to consider whether to take such action and (x) in the case of a Superior Proposal, comply in form, substance and delivery with the provisions of Section 5.03(c) and (y) in the case of an Intervening Event, include a reasonable description of such Intervening Event.  After giving such notice and prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change or taking such action to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company shall, and shall cause its employees and direct its financial advisor and outside legal counsel to, negotiate in good faith with Parent (to the extent Parent wishes to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board or the Special Committee not to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or to take such action to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01 in response thereto.  At the end of the six (6) Business Day period, prior to taking action to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or taking action to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, the Company Board and the Special Committee shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent in writing and any other information offered by Parent in response to the notice, and shall have determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor that (I) in the case of a Superior Proposal, the Superior Proposal would continue to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (II) in the case of an Intervening Event, that the failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to such Intervening Event would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, in each case, if such changes offered in writing were to be given effect.  Any modification to any Alternative Proposal will be deemed to be a new Alternative Proposal for purposes of Section 5.03(c) and this Section 5.03(d)(ii) except that the advance written notice obligation set forth in this Section 5.03(d)(ii) shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days.
-51-


(e)          Certain Permitted Disclosure.  Nothing contained in this Section 5.03 shall prohibit the Company from (i) complying with its disclosure obligations under United States federal or state Law with regard to an Alternative Proposal or Adverse Recommendation Change; (ii) making any disclosure to its shareholders if the Company Board (acting upon the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee determines in good faith (after consultation with and receiving advice of its outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would reasonably be likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that if such disclosure has the substantive effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying the Company Recommendation, such disclosure shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change and Parent shall have the right to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 8.01(f) unless the Company reaffirms the Company Recommendation; (iii) or issuing a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, which shall not be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change.

ARTICLE VI

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 6.01          Preparation of the Proxy Statement and Schedule 13E-3; Company Shareholders Meeting.

(a)          As reasonably promptly as practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) Business Days; provided Parent timely provides all required information with respect to Parent, SMP or Merger Sub and otherwise complies with its obligations hereunder in all material respects) following the Agreement Date, the Company will, in a manner that complies with Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to the Transactions, prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC a proxy statement to be sent to the Company’s shareholders relating to the Company Shareholders Meeting that reflects the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and includes the notice of appraisal rights in the Merger to the holders of Company Common Shares as required by Section 106(2) of the Bermuda Companies Act, and a copy of the Fairness Opinion in its entirety (including a description of the Fairness Opinion and the financial analysis relating thereto) (such proxy statement, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Proxy Statement”) in preliminary form.  Each of Parent and Merger Sub will furnish to the Company all information reasonably requested by the Company concerning Parent, SMP or Merger Sub, and provide such other assistance, as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Proxy Statement.  Parent, Merger Sub and the Company will cooperate and consult with each other in good faith in the preparation of the Proxy Statement.  The Company will notify Parent reasonably promptly (but in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) after its receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement and will provide Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (i) respond as reasonably promptly as practicable to any comments from the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement, and Parent will cooperate in connection therewith and (ii) have the SEC advise as promptly as reasonably practicable that the SEC has no further comments on the Proxy Statement.  In addition to the foregoing, the Company shall file the Proxy Statement in definitive form with the SEC as promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC advises the Company that the SEC has no further comments on the Proxy Statement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to filing the Proxy Statement in preliminary or definitive form, or responding to any comments of the SEC with respect to, or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to, the Proxy Statement, or mailing the Proxy Statement in definitive form to the Company’s shareholders, the Company will:  (x) provide Parent an opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement or response (including the proposed final version of the Proxy Statement or response); and (y) reasonably cooperate in good faith with Parent to include Parent’s reasonable comments that are promptly proposed by Parent to the Proxy Statement related to Parent or the Transactions.
-52-


(b)          The Company and Parent will cooperate to (i) concurrently with the preparation and filing of the Proxy Statement, jointly prepare and file with the SEC a Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (together with any amendments thereof or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 13E-3”) relating to the Transactions, and furnish to each other all information concerning such Party as may be reasonably requested in connection with the preparation of the Schedule 13E-3; (ii) respond as reasonably promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to the Schedule 13E-3 and consult with each other prior to providing such response; (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable, prepare and file any amendments or supplements necessary to be filed in response to any such comments; (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to have cleared by the staff of the SEC the Schedule 13E-3; and (v) to the extent required by applicable Law, as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare and file any supplement or amendment to the Schedule 13E-3. Each Party will promptly notify the other Parties upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Schedule 13E-3 and will provide the other Parties with copies of all correspondence between such Party and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand.

(c)          If prior to the Effective Time any change occurs with respect to information supplied by Parent for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 that is required by Law to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, Parent will reasonably promptly notify the Company of such change, and Parent and the Company will cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, as applicable, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and, as required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company’s shareholders. Nothing in this Section 6.01(c) will limit the obligations of any Party under Section 6.01(a).
-53-


(d)          If prior to the Effective Time any event occurs with respect to the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or any change occurs with respect to other information supplied by the Company for inclusion in the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, that is required by Law to be described in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, the Company will reasonably promptly notify Parent of such event, and the Company and Parent will cooperate in the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3, as applicable, so that either such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading, and, as required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to the Company’s shareholders. Nothing in this Section 6.01(d) will limit the obligations of any Party under Section 6.01(a).

(e)          The Company will, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the SEC confirms it has no further comments on the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3:  (i) establish a record date for determining shareholders of the Company entitled to vote at the Company Shareholders Meeting; (ii) not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Company Shareholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent unless required to do so by applicable Law (and if the date of the Company Shareholders Meeting as originally called is for any reason adjourned or otherwise delayed, the Company agrees that unless Parent has otherwise approved in writing (or as required by applicable Law or stock exchange requirement), the Company will, if possible, implement such adjournment or other delay in such a way that the Company does not need to establish a new record date for the Company Shareholders Meeting, as so adjourned or delayed); and (iii) duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Company Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of:  (A) seeking the Company Shareholder Approval and the Minority Shareholder Approval; (B) in accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the applicable SEC rules issued thereunder, seeking advisory approval of a proposal to the Company’s shareholders for a non-binding, advisory vote to approve certain compensation that may become payable to the Company’s named executive officers in connection with the completion of the Merger; (C) an adjournment proposal; and (D) seeking approval of any other proposal necessary for adopting and approving this Agreement and consummating the Transactions. The Company will not change the date of, postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting, or submit any other proposal to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Company Shareholders Meeting, without the prior written consent of Parent. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to (i) promptly cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company’s shareholders as of the record date established for the Company Shareholders Meeting; and (ii) except if an Adverse Recommendation Change has been made as permitted by Section 5.03(d) and remains in effect, solicit the Company Shareholder Approval and the Minority Shareholder Approval, including by retaining the services of a recognized proxy solicitor reasonably acceptable to Parent. The Company Board, acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee, and the Special Committee, will recommend to the Company’s shareholders that they give the Company Shareholder Approval and the Minority Shareholder Approval (the “Company Recommendation”) and will include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement and the Schedule 13E-3, in each case, unless the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee has validly made an Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 5.03(d) that is still in effect. The Company agrees that, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior thereto, its obligations to hold the Company Shareholders Meeting pursuant to this Section 6.01 will not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Alternative Proposal, by the making of any Adverse Recommendation Change by the Company Board (acting at the recommendation of the Special Committee) or the Special Committee or by any other development; provided, however, that if the public announcement of an Adverse Recommendation Change or the delivery of notice by the Company to Parent pursuant to Section 5.03(d)(i) occurs less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting, the Company will be entitled to postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting to a date not more than ten (10) Business Days after the date such Company Shareholders Meeting had previously been scheduled (but in no event to a date after the date that is five (5) Business Days before the End Date).
-54-


(f)          The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01 notwithstanding, the Company will have the right, after consultation in good faith with Parent, to make one or more successive changes in date, postponements or adjournments of the Company Shareholders Meeting (i) to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the Proxy Statement or Schedule 13E-3 required under applicable Law is timely provided to the shareholders of the Company within a reasonable amount of time, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board or the Special Committee (after consultation with outside counsel), in advance of the Company Shareholders Meeting; (ii) if required by applicable Law or a request from the SEC or its staff; or (iii) if, on a date for which the Company Shareholders Meeting is scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Company Common Shares to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval and the Minority Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present; provided that no single such adjournment or postponement is for more than ten (10) Business Days except as may be required by federal securities Laws; and (B) in the case of clause (iii), the Company Shareholders Meeting is not postponed to later than the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the date for which the Company Shareholders Meeting was originally scheduled without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the Company Shareholders Meeting is not postponed, recessed or adjourned to a date that is more than forty-five (45) days after the date on which the Company Shareholders Meeting was originally scheduled) and that the Company will, and will cause its proxy solicitor to, use reasonable best efforts to solicit such additional proxies (or presence and affirmative vote in person of the Company’s shareholders at the Company Shareholders Meeting) as expeditiously as reasonably possible, it being understood that time shall be of the essence. If, on any date for which the Company Shareholders Meeting is scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Company Common Shares to obtain the Minority Shareholder Approval, the Company will, at Parent’s request, postpone or adjourn the Company Shareholders Meeting on one or more occasions for up to forty-five (45) days in the aggregate to allow for the solicitation of additional proxies to obtain the Minority Shareholder Approval. The Company will also consider in good faith any other request by Parent to postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting.

Section 6.02          Access to Information; Confidentiality. Subject to applicable Law, the Company will, and will cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, upon request by Parent, furnish to Parent, SMP and their respective Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, during the Interim Period, to all their respective properties, books, contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, the Company will, and will cause each of the Company Subsidiaries to, furnish reasonably promptly to Parent (a) to the extent not publicly available, a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws or commission actions; and (b) all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request (in each case, in a manner so as to not interfere in any material respect with the normal business operations of the Company or any Company Subsidiary); provided, however, that the Company will not be required to permit such access or make such disclosure, to the extent it determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that such disclosure or access would reasonably be likely to (i) violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement or other Contract with a third party (provided that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the required Consent of such third party to such access or disclosure); (ii) result in the loss of any attorney-client privilege (provided that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure (or as much of it as possible) in a manner that does not result in a loss of attorney-client privilege); or (iii) violate any Law; provided that the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure which would not violate applicable Law; provided, further, that the Company will not be required to disclose any materials of the Company, the Company Board or the Special Committee that relate to consideration of the Transactions. All information provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.02 will be subject to the Nondisclosure and Common Interest Agreement by and among the Company, Myovant Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation and Parent, dated as of April 8, 2020 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 6.03          Efforts to Consummate.

(a)          Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of Parent and the Company will use their respective reasonable best efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date the Transactions, including (i) preparing and filing with applicable Governmental Entities as promptly as reasonably practicable all necessary applications, notices, disclosures, petitions, filings (or draft filings, as applicable), ruling requests and other documents required under any Antitrust Laws and to satisfy as promptly as practicable the condition set forth in Section 7.01(c) (the “Required Approvals”), (ii) taking all steps as may be necessary to obtain all such Consents as promptly as reasonably practicable, and (iii) obtaining any waivers, qualifications, consents, certificates, clearances, and approvals required from third parties (other than Consents) in connection with the consummation of the Transactions.  Subject to its obligations under the foregoing and any other provision of this Agreement, Parent will control (in a manner consistent with this Section 6.03) and lead all communications and strategy relating to obtaining any Required Approvals, and the Company will not, and will cause the Company Subsidiaries and its directors and officers and direct its other Representatives not to, make any proposal to, or (except to the extent required by Law) any filings with, Governmental Entities in respect of any matter related to any Required Approvals without the prior written consent of Parent or its counsel (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a current basis, consult with and consider in good faith the views and comments of the Company in connection with such communications and strategy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and the Company will, and will cause their respective directors, officers and employees to and direct their respective other Representatives to, give the other Party reasonable notice of, and the opportunity for it and its Representatives to participate in, all substantive meetings and telephone calls with any Governmental Entity in respect of any Required Approvals.
-56-


(b)          In connection with the actions referenced in Section 6.03(a), each of Parent and the Company will, and will cause their respective controlled Affiliates (which, in the case of Parent, shall be deemed to include SMP) to, (i) cooperate with each other, including providing Parent or its counsel with information and such assistance as Parent or its counsel may reasonably request, in connection with any communication, filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any Action initiated by a private party; (ii) to the extent practicable, keep the other Party and/or its counsel promptly informed of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, any Governmental Entity or Government Official and of any communication received or given in connection with any Action by a private party, in each case, regarding any of the Transactions; (iii) to the extent practicable, consult with each other in advance of any meeting or conference regarding the Transactions with such Governmental Entity or Government Official or, in connection with any Action by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the applicable Governmental Entity, or other Person, give the other Party and/or its counsel the opportunity to attend and participate in such meetings and conferences; (iv) consider in good faith the views of the other Party and keep the other Party reasonably informed of the status of matters related to the Transactions; and (v) permit the other Party and/or its counsel to review in advance, with reasonable time and opportunity to comment, give reasonable consideration to the other Party’s comments thereon, and consult with each other in advance of any proposed submission, filing or material communication (and documents submitted therewith) intended to be given by it to a Governmental Entity or Government Official in connection with the Transactions; provided that materials may be redacted (x) as necessary to comply with applicable Law and (y) to remove references concerning (A) the valuation of the businesses of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and (B) projections, estimates, budgets, forecasts, plans or other information of the Company (including commercially sensitive information and the Company Subsidiaries and other materials that the Special Committee evaluated in connection with the Transactions).

(c)          The Company will give prompt written notice to Parent, and Parent will give prompt written notice to the Company, of (i) the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event which occurrence or failure to occur has resulted in or would reasonably be expected to result in the failure to satisfy or be able to satisfy any of the conditions specified in Article VII, and such written notice will specify the condition which has failed or will fail to be satisfied; (ii) any written notice from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Transactions to the extent such consent is material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; (iii) any material written notice from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions; and (iv) any shareholder Action against the Company, any Company Subsidiary and/or their respective directors or officers relating to the Transactions; provided that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.03(c) will not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to Parent or the Company.
-57-


(d)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event will Parent or any of its Affiliates be required (and in no event will the Company or any Company Subsidiary agree without the prior written consent of Parent) to take any action (including entering into any consent decree, hold separate order or other arrangement), or to permit or suffer to exist any material restriction, condition, limitation or requirement, in each case, that (when taken together with all other such actions, restrictions, conditions, limitations and requirements) would reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse effect on the business, operations or financial results of the Parent and any Parent Subsidiaries or the Surviving Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 6.04          Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.

(a)          Parent agrees that all rights existing as of the Agreement Date to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation from Liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time in favor of the current and/or former directors, officers or employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as provided in their respective Organizational Documents and any indemnification or other similar agreements of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries in effect as of the Agreement Date will continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms, and Parent will cause the Surviving Company and the Company Subsidiaries to perform their respective obligations thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless each individual who was prior to or is as of the Agreement Date, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer or employee of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or who was prior to or is as of the Agreement Date, or who thereafter commences prior to the Effective Time, serving at the request of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries as a director, officer or employee of another Person (the “Company Indemnified Persons”), against all claims, Liabilities, Judgments, fines and fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any Action (including with respect to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (including this Agreement and the Transactions)), arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the Company Indemnified Person is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or is or was serving at the request of the Company or any Company Subsidiary as a director, officer or employee of another Person, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. In the event of any such Action, (i) each Company Indemnified Person will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such Action from the Surviving Company within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the Surviving Company from the Company Indemnified Person of a request therefor; provided that any Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, if and only to the extent required by the Bermuda Companies Act, the Surviving Company’s Organizational Documents or any applicable indemnification agreement, to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined by final non-appealable adjudication that such Person is not entitled to indemnification and (ii) the Surviving Company will cooperate in the defense of any such matter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent shall not (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Company not to) settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any Action, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all of the Company Indemnified Persons (who could have sought indemnification, advancement of expenses or exculpation from Liabilities in connection with such Action) from all liability arising out of such Action.
-58-


(b)          For a period of six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company will, and Parent will cause the Surviving Company to, either maintain or cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary liability and employment practices liability insurance maintained by or for the benefit of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries or provide substitute policies (issued by insurers with an A.M. Best financial strength rating of A- or better) for the Company and Company Subsidiaries and the insured Persons who are covered by such insurance currently maintained by or for benefit of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (the “Current Insurance”), in either case, with limits not less than the existing coverage and having other terms not less favorable to the insured Persons than the Current Insurance with respect to claims and matters arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, except that in no event will the Surviving Company be required to pay with respect to such insurance policies in respect of any one policy year more than three hundred percent (300%) of the aggregate annual premium most recently paid by the Company prior to the Agreement Date (the “Maximum Amount”), and if the Surviving Company is unable to obtain the insurance required by this Section 6.04(b) it will obtain as much comparable insurance as possible for each year within such six (6)-year period for an annual premium equal to the Maximum Amount.  In lieu of such insurance, prior to the Closing Date the Company may, at its option, purchase “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability, fiduciary liability and employment practices liability insurance for a period of six (6) years for the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the insured Persons who are covered by Current Insurance, such tail insurance to provide coverage with limits not less than, and to have other terms not less favorable to the insured Persons than, the Current Insurance with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time; provided that in no event will the aggregate cost of any such tail insurance exceed the Maximum Amount.  Parent will cause the Surviving Company to, and the Surviving Company will, maintain such insurance policies in full force and effect without any amendment adverse to the insured Persons thereunder, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(c)          The provisions of this Section 6.04 (i) will survive consummation of the Merger until the date that is the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, (ii) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified or insured party (including the Company Indemnified Persons) to the extent of such indemnified or insured Person’s interest herein, and his or her heirs and estates and trust vehicles, and (iii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such Person may have by contract or otherwise.

(d)          Parent hereby acknowledges that the Company Indemnified Persons may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses or insurance provided by other Persons that are in effect as of the Agreement Date.  Parent hereby agrees that the Surviving Company will be the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Company Indemnified Persons are primary and any obligation of such other Persons to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by any such Company Indemnified Person are secondary).  Parent further agrees that no advancement or payment by any of such other Persons on behalf of any such Company Indemnified Person with respect to any claim for which such Company Indemnified Person has sought indemnification from the Surviving Company or any Company Subsidiary shall affect the foregoing and such other Persons shall have a right of contribution or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Company Indemnified Person against the Surviving Company or any Company Subsidiary, as applicable.

(e)          In the event that Parent or the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Parent and the Surviving Company will cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company assume Parent and/or the Surviving Company’s obligations (as applicable) set forth in this Section 6.04.

(f)          Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or will be construed to, release, waive or impair any rights to claims pursuant to any applicable insurance policy or indemnification agreement.

Subject to entry into a customary joint defense agreement, the Company will give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company and participate in the defense or settlement of any shareholder Action against the Company, any Company Subsidiary and/or their respective directors or officers relating to the Transactions. None of the Company, any Company Subsidiary or any Representative of the Company will compromise, settle or come to an arrangement regarding any such shareholder Action, in each case, unless Parent has consented thereto in writing (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the Company may compromise, settle or come to an agreement regarding shareholder Actions, if the resolution of such litigation requires only additional disclosure in the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3 and payment from the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives in an amount that together with all such other payments does not exceed the amount set forth in Section 6.05 of the Company Disclosure Letter and the settlement provides for no other non-monetary relief (other than changes to the disclosures in the Proxy Statement or the Schedule 13E-3).

Section 6.06          Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Merger Sub each shall take all such steps as may be required to cause any dispositions of Company Common Shares (including derivative securities with respect to Company Common Shares) directly resulting from the Merger by each individual who will be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 6.08          Employment and Company Benefits.

(a)          Until the one (1)-year anniversary of the Closing, (the “Continuation Period”), Parent will cause the Surviving Company to provide each Company Employee who continues to remain employed with Parent, an Affiliate of Parent or the Surviving Company immediately following the Effective Time with (i) a base salary or hourly wage rate that is no less favorable than the base salary or hourly wage rate provided to each such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; (ii) target short-term incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than the target short-term incentive compensation opportunities provided to each such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (iii) other compensation (including long-term compensation opportunities, whether cash or equity-based) and benefits, in the aggregate (for purposes of clarity, excluding retention or change in control benefits) that, with respect to each Company Employee, are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the aggregate other compensation (including long-term compensation opportunities, whether cash or equity-based) and benefits provided to such Company Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Employee” means any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary who is employed at the Closing Date and who remains employed with Parent, an Affiliate of Parent, the Surviving Company or any Subsidiaries of Parent or the Surviving Company immediately following the Effective Time.

(b)          If requested by Parent in a writing delivered to the Company not less than five (5) Business Days before the anticipated Closing Date, to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the terms of the applicable plan or arrangement, the Company Board (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take such corporate action as is necessary to terminate the 401(k) plans sponsored by the Company or any Company Subsidiary (collectively, the “Company 401(k) Plan”), effective immediately prior to the Effective Time and provide that participants in the Company 401(k) Plan shall become fully vested in any unvested portion of their Company 401(k) Plan accounts as of the date such plan is terminated. In the event that Parent requests that the Company 401(k) Plan be terminated, the Company shall, not later than the day immediately preceding the Effective Time, provide Parent with evidence that the Company 401(k) Plan will be terminated, effective immediately prior to the Effective Time, pursuant to resolution of the Company Board (or the appropriate committee thereof), the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and approval by Parent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Effective Time. As of the Closing Date, Parent shall designate and provide coverage under a tax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan that is sponsored by Parent or one of its subsidiaries (the “Parent 401(k) Plan”) for the participants of the Company 401(k) Plan.  In connection with the termination of the Company 401(k) Plan, to the extent permitted by the Parent 401(k) Plan, Parent shall cause the Parent 401(k) Plan to accept from the Company 401(k) Plan the direct rollover of the account balance (including the in-kind rollover of promissory notes evidencing outstanding participant loans) of each Company Employee who elects such direct rollover in accordance with the Company 401(k) Plan and the Code.

(c)          Prior to making any written or broad-based oral communications to any Company Employee pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the Transactions, (i) the Company shall provide Parent with notice of the intended communication and a copy or, if oral, the substance thereof, and the Company shall reasonably cooperate to the extent practicable in advance of such communication being made to incorporate in good faith any reasonable comments made by Parent promptly after being furnished with the communication; provided that the Company may make written or broad-based oral communications to Company Employees pertaining to compensation or benefit matters that are affected by the Transactions that are (x) substantially consistent with previous written or broad-based oral communications made by the Company in compliance with this Section 6.08(c) or any announcements by a Party in compliance with Section 6.07 or (y) provided to Parent prior to the Agreement Date; and (ii) Parent shall provide the Company with notice of the intended communication and a copy or, if oral, the substance thereof and shall require the Company’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) prior to disseminating any such communications.

(d)          Parent shall, or shall cause the Company to, provide each Company Employee who incurs a termination of employment during the Continuation Period with severance payments and benefits that are no less favorable than the severance payments and benefits that would be required to be provided to such Company Employee under the Company Benefit Plans as in effect as of the Closing Date.  The Parties agree to treat the Transactions as a “change in control” or “change of control” for purposes of determining severance entitlements under Company Benefit Plans.

(e)          For purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits under any employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries (exclusive of the Company) in which any Company Employee becomes eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date (the “New Plans”), Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, provide each Company Employee with credit for his or her years of service with the Company and any respective predecessors before the Closing Date; provided that the foregoing service credit shall not be required to apply (x) to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits with respect to the same period of service or (y) with respect to any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical benefits.  In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Parent shall, or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, cause each Company Employee to be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits, and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Company Employee during the plan year in which the Closing Date occurs, Parent shall or shall cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (x) cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents and (y) cause any eligible expenses incurred by any Company Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year during which the Closing Date occurs to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Company Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.
-62-


(f)          With respect to annual bonus amounts for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023 (the “Current Year Bonus”), to the extent not paid prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause each employee of the Company who was employed as of immediately prior to the Effective Time to be paid, on the Company’s regularly scheduled annual bonus payment date in 2023 (subject to such employee’s continued employment through such annual bonus payment date), the full amount of the Current Year Bonus that is actually earned by such employee as of the payment date for the Current Year Bonus; provided that (i) the Current Year Bonus paid to employees at the level of Vice President or below shall in no event be less than the target amount and (ii) the Current Year Bonus paid to employees above the level of Vice President shall be determined based on the performance goals established by the Company in the ordinary course at the beginning of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2023, shall take into account partial attainment of performance goals consistent with historical practice, and shall not be discretionarily reduced based on individual performance factors without approval, prior to the Effective Time, by the principal executive officer of the Company and the Compensation Committee of the Company Board. In addition, in the event of an employee’s termination of employment after the Effective Time and before the payment date of the Current Year Bonus under circumstances entitling the employee to severance (the date of such termination, the “Early Departure Date”), such employee will become entitled to a pro-rated target annual bonus on the date of termination, determined by multiplying the target bonus for the full fiscal year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days from April 1, 2022 through the Early Departure Date and the denominator of which is 365, and Parent shall cause such pro-rated target annual bonus amount to be paid as soon as practicable following the Early Departure Date and in no event later than the regular payment date (provided that the amount payable pursuant to this provision shall be in full satisfaction of any requirement to pay a Current Year Bonus pursuant to any Company Benefit Plan but, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not reduce the amount of any severance payment computed by reference to target or prior year bonuses contemplated elsewhere in any Company Benefit Plan).

(g)          No provision of this Agreement will (i) create any right in any Company Employee or any other employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to continued employment by the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries, or preclude the ability of the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any employee for any reason; (ii) require the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to continue any particular Company Benefit Plans or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Closing Date; or (iii) be treated as an amendment to any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.07, and any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 6.08 will create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person, including any Company Employee.

Section 6.11          Notice of Certain Regulatory Events. In furtherance (and not in limitation) of Section 6.03, during the Interim Period, the Company will (a) promptly inform Parent of and wherever practicable give Parent reasonable advance notice of any prescheduled teleconference or in person meeting with the FDA or any other Governmental Entity in connection with any Product Candidate; (b) promptly deliver to Parent copies of any material, substantive written correspondence received from the FDA or other Governmental Entity in connection with any Product Candidate, including material, substantive written correspondence with respect to (i) the approval or denial of any Marketing Approval of any Product Candidate; (ii) any change in the marketing classification or a change in the labelling or proposed labeling of any Product Candidate; (iii) the mandatory or voluntary termination, enjoinment or suspension of the testing (including the imposition of a clinical trial hold or other suspension or termination of a Clinical Trial), manufacturing, marketing, export, import, or distribution of any Product Candidate; or (iv) a non-coverage or pricing determination by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, any other material third-party payor, or any foreign Governmental Entity with authority over pharmaceutical products with respect to any Product Candidate; and (c) provide Parent with reasonable advance copies of, and consider in good faith any comments of Parent that are provided to the Company within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such advance copies to Parent (or one (1) Business Day prior to submission if the FDA or any other Governmental Entity requires submission to be made less than five (5) Business Days following the date of delivery of such advance copies to Parent) with respect to, any material correspondence or written submission prior to delivery thereof by the Company to the FDA or any other Governmental Entity in connection with any Product Candidate.

(ii)          (A) after the Agreement Date but prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, an Alternative Proposal is made by a third party to the Company or the Special Committee and not withdrawn (publicly if such Alternative Proposal has been made known publicly) prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting or is made directly to the Company’s shareholders by a third party and not publicly withdrawn prior to the Company Shareholders Meeting; (B) thereafter this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i) (but in the case of a termination by the Company, only if at such time Parent would not be prohibited from terminating this Agreement pursuant to the second proviso to Section 8.01(b)(i)), by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(e) or by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(iii); and (C) within twelve (12) months of such termination, (x) the Company enters into a definitive Contract for an Alternative Proposal and such Alternative Proposal is consummated (whether during or after such twelve (12)-month period) or (y) an Alternative Proposal is consummated (in the case of (x) or (y), with the approval of a majority of the independent directors on the Company Board); provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8.02(b)(ii), the references to 15% in the definition of “Alternative Proposal” will be deemed to be references to 50%.

(c)          The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 8.02 are an integral part of the Transactions and that, without these agreements, Parent and Merger Sub would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to pay the Termination Fee as and when due to Parent pursuant to this Section 8.02, it will also be obligated to pay any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Parent and its Affiliates in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee (the “Costs and Expenses”), together with interest on the amount of any unpaid Termination Fee and Costs and Expenses from the date such Termination Fee and/or Costs and Expense was required to be paid to (but excluding) the payment date at the prime rate set forth in the Wall Street Journal on the date that such Termination Fee was required to be paid (the “Interest”). If Parent receives payment of the Termination Fee (and if payable pursuant to this Section 8.02, the Costs and Expenses and/or Interest) under the circumstances in which it is payable as provided in this Section 8.02, the receipt of the Termination Fee, together with the Costs and Expenses and/or Interest, if payable pursuant to this Section 8.02, will be (i) the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and any of their respective direct or indirect former, current or future general or limited partners, shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates or assignees of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Company Related Partiesfor all losses and damages suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated or for any breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise, and upon payment of such amount (in circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable), none of the Company Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation whatsoever relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) deemed to be liquidated damages for any and all damages or losses suffered or incurred by Parent, Merger Sub or any of its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement (or any matter forming the basis for such termination), and neither Parent, Merger Sub nor any of their respective Affiliates will be entitled to bring any Action or otherwise be entitled to any remedy against the Company or any of its Affiliates, at law or in equity or otherwise, arising from or in connection with this Agreement (including the termination thereof) or any of the Transactions.  Any payment of the Termination Fee made by the Company will be payable only once and not in duplication even though such payment may be payable under one or more provisions of this Section 8.02.

Section 8.03          Fees and Expenses. Except as set forth in Section 8.02(b) and Section 8.02(c), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions will be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Transactions are consummated.

Section 8.04          Amendment. Subject to applicable Law and the provisions of Section 6.04, this Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time before or after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval or the Minority Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that (a) after receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval or the Minority Shareholder Approval, no amendment that by Law or by the IRA, requires further approval by the Company’s shareholders will be made without the further approval of such shareholders, and (b) except as provided above, no amendment of this Agreement will be submitted to be approved by the Company’s shareholders unless required by Law or the IRA. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties and any such amendment or waiver by the Company will be at the direction of and only be valid if approved by the Special Committee. Termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Time will not require the approval of the shareholders of Parent, Merger Sub, or the Company.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

Section 9.03          Interpretation.

(a)          When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section or an Exhibit, such reference will be to an Article, a Section, an Exhibit, a Schedule or an Annex of or to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. All Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth herein. The table of contents, index of defined terms and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit, Schedule or Annex but not otherwise defined therein has the meaning assigned to such term in this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “will” and “will not” are expressions of command and not merely expressions of future intent or expectation. The words “hereof,” “hereto,” “hereby,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement will refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” will mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase will not mean simply “if.” The following general rules apply: the singular number will include the plural, and vice versa; the masculine gender will include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender will include the masculine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender will include the masculine and feminine genders. Any Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein will include any modification, amendment or re-enactment thereof, and any Law substituted therefor, in each case, as of the time of inquiry, representation, or covenant and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued or related to such Law. Any reference to a Governmental Entity will be also deemed to refer to any successor thereto unless the context requires otherwise. A reference to any agreement (including this Agreement), or Contract is, unless otherwise specified, to the agreement, or Contract as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced at the time of inquiry, representation or covenant. Neither the specification of any dollar amount in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific item in the Schedules or Exhibits is intended to imply that such amounts or higher or lower amounts, or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party will use the fact of setting of such amounts or the fact of the inclusion of such item in the Schedules or Exhibits in any dispute or controversy between or among the Parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. References herein to a Person are also to its successors and permitted assigns. Unless otherwise specifically indicated, all references to “$” will be deemed references to the lawful money of the United States of America. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, when calculating the period of time within which, or following which, any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference day in calculating such period shall be excluded and if the last day of the period is not a Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next Business Day or if any action must be taken hereunder on or by a day that is not a Business Day, then such action may be validly taken on or by the next day that is a Business Day. References to a number of days, shall refer to calendar days unless Business Days are specified. References to the “ordinary course of business” or words of similar import shall, in each case, be deemed to mean the ordinary course of business of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, consistent with past practice; provided that any action taken, or omitted to be taken, and any adjustments and modifications thereto taken in good faith in response to or as a result of COVID-19 or any COVID-19 Measures shall be deemed to be in the “ordinary course of business.”

(b)          Each Party represents and agrees with each other that it has been represented by or had the opportunity to be represented by, independent counsel of its own choosing, and that it has had the full right and opportunity to consult with its respective attorney(s), that to the extent, if any, that it desired, it availed itself of this right and opportunity, that it or its authorized officers (as the case may be) have carefully read and fully understand this Agreement in its entirety and have had it fully explained to them by such Party’s respective counsel, and that it or its authorized officer (as the case may be) is competent to execute this Agreement and has executed this Agreement free from coercion, duress or undue influence. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement in connection with the Transactions, with the opportunity to seek advice as to their legal rights from such counsel. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement is to be construed as jointly drafted by the Parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof is to arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement or by reason of the extent to which any such provision is inconsistent with any prior draft hereof.

Section 9.04          Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the legality, validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be legal, valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such legal, invalid or unenforceable provision; and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability affect the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

Section 9.05          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.

Section 9.06          Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

(a)          This Agreement (including the Exhibits, Schedules and Annexes), the Company Disclosure Letter, Section 3.4 of the IRA, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Voting and Support Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations, understandings, and representations and warranties, whether oral or written, with respect to such matters.

(b)          Other than (i) after the Effective Time, the right of holders of Company Common Shares to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.01, (ii) after the Effective Time, the right of holders of Company RSUs, Company PSUs, Company Options and Company Share Awards to receive the payments referred to in Section 2.04, and (iii) the right of the Company Indemnified Persons under Section 6.04, which will confer third-party beneficiary rights to the Persons identified therein, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, will confer upon any Person other than Parent, Merger Sub and the Company and their respective successors and permitted assigns any right, benefit or remedy of any nature by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.07          Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)          THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE PROVISIONS OF THE LAWS OF BERMUDA ARE MANDATORILY APPLICABLE TO THE MERGER.

(b)          Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by (x) Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates against the Company or its Affiliates or (y) by the Company or any Company Subsidiary against Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates, in any such case, will be brought and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, then any such Action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court, in each case, except to the extent that any such Action mandatorily must be brought in Bermuda (the “Chosen Courts”). Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Transactions. Each of the Parties agrees not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the Chosen Courts, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree, or award rendered by any such Chosen Court as described herein. Each of the Parties further agrees that notice as provided herein will constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts as described herein for any reason; (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts or from any legal process commenced in the Chosen Courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise); and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum; (ii) the venue of such Action is improper; or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by the Chosen Courts.
-75-


(c)          EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY BE IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISE OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY INSTRUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS, IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN CONNECTION WITH, ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT DELIVERED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND CERTIFIES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF THE OTHER PARTIES HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTIES WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (III) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND; (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS, ACKNOWLEDGMENTS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.07(c).

Section 9.08          Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties (and any of their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns). No Party may assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempted or purported assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 9.08 shall be null and void; provided, however, that Parent may designate its Affiliate(s) to be a constituent corporation in the Merger in lieu of Merger Sub, so long as Parent provides the Company with advance written notice thereof, in which event all references to Merger Sub in this Agreement shall be deemed references to such other Affiliate(s) of Parent, except that all representations and warranties made in this Agreement with respect to Merger Sub as of the Agreement Date shall be deemed representations and warranties made with respect to such other Affiliate(s) as of the date of such designation; provided, further, that no such assignment will relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 9.09          Specific Performance.  Subject to Section 8.02(b) and this Section 9.09, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the Transactions are special, unique and of extraordinary character and that if for any reason any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, immediate and irreparable harm or damage would be caused for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other available remedies a Party may have in equity or at law, each Party shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to obtain an injunction restraining any breach or violation or threatened breach or violation of the provisions of this Agreement in the Chosen Courts without necessity of posting a bond or other form of security. In the event that any Action should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no Party shall allege, and each Party hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 9.10          Non-Recourse.  Unless expressly agreed to otherwise by the Parties in writing, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Action in connection with, arising out of or otherwise resulting from this Agreement, any instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the Transactions may only be brought against the Persons expressly named as Parties (or any of their respective successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns) and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party.

Section 9.11          Disclosure Letter and Company SEC Document References.

(a)          The Parties agree (i) that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Letter will be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (A) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the Company that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (B) any other representations and warranties of the Company that are contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such other representations and warranties would be reasonably apparent on its face and (ii) to take the actions set forth on Section 9.11(a)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter, as applicable.

(b)          The Parties agree that any information contained in any part of any Company SEC Document furnished or filed and publicly available after December 27, 2019, and one (1) Business Day prior to the Agreement Date (other than with respect to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01, Section 3.02(a), Section 3.03, Section 3.04, Section 3.09(a) and Section 3.21) will only be deemed to be an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) the representations and warranties of the Company if the relevance of that information as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties would be reasonably apparent on its face, together with the Company Disclosure Letter, in each case, excluding any disclosures set forth in any “risk factors” section or any disclosures in any “forward-looking statements” section (other than statements of historical fact contained therein) and any other disclosures to the extent they are cautionary, predictive or forward-looking in nature, and excluding any information incorporated by reference or exhibits attached to any of the foregoing.

Section 9.12          Guaranty.

(a)          To induce the Company to enter into this Agreement, SMP, intending to be legally bound, hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Company the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable from Parent or Merger Sub under this Agreement, in each case, as and when due (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), whether now or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, and however arising under this Agreement. This guarantee may not be revoked or terminated and will remain in full force and effect without interruption and will be binding on SMP and its successors and assigns until the Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in full.

(b)          SMP promises and undertakes to make all payments hereunder without deduction or offset for any defense, claim, or counterclaim of SMP of any kind.

(c)          The guarantee set forth in Section 9.12(a) (the “Guarantee”) is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing (irrespective of any modification, waiver, amendment, restatement or consent to departure from any terms of this Agreement that may be agreed to by Parent or Merger Sub) guarantee of the full and punctual payment by Parent and Merger Sub of the Guaranteed Obligations and not of collection and is binding upon SMP and its successors and assigns, and SMP irrevocably waives any right to revoke the guarantee set forth in this Section 9.12 as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.  Should Parent or Merger Sub default in the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, SMP’s obligations hereunder will become immediately due and payable in immediately available funds to the Company or the Paying Agent or, to the extent such obligations become due and payable after the Effective Time, to the former holders of Certificates, Book-Entry Shares, Company Share Awards, or to the Company Indemnified Parties.  Claims hereunder may be made on one or more occasions.
