W I T N E S S E T H:
          WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have each approved, adopted and declared advisable this Agreement and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;
          WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger;
          WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (i) Parent has entered into a Placing Agreement with Deutsche Bank AG, London Branch, Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, and Citigroup Global Markets U.K. Equity Limited dated as of the date hereof (the “Placing Agreement”) and (ii) Autonomy NA Holdings Inc., a subsidiary of Parent, as Borrower, and Parent and Autonomy Systems Limited, as Original Guarantors, have entered into a Revolving Facility Agreement with Barclays Bank plc, Eastern Larger Business, as Original Lender, and Barclays Bank plc, Eastern Larger Business, as Agent, dated as of the date hereof, as may be amended from time to time (the “Loan Agreement and, together with the Placing Agreement, the “Financing Agreements”);
          WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company have entered into a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) pursuant to which such stockholders are, among other things, covenanting to vote in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and otherwise to support the transactions contemplated hereby;
          WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, certain shareholders of Parent are executing and delivering one or more Irrevocable Undertakings, dated as of the date of this Agreement (the “Irrevocable Undertakings”), pursuant to which such shareholders are, among other things, covenanting to vote in favor of the approval of the Merger upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and otherwise to support the transactions contemplated hereby and the Financing Agreements.

 


 

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
The Merger
          1.1. The Merger. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time, (a) Merger Sub shall merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), and (b) the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Company shall continue its corporate existence under Delaware law as the surviving entity in the Merger (the “Surviving Entity”), and the corporate existence of the Company, with all of its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises, shall continue unaffected by the Merger.
          1.2. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on a date to be specified by the parties (the “Closing Date”), which shall be no later than the fourth Business Day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions at such time), at the offices of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, One Market Street, San Francisco, California 94105, unless another date, place or time is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.
          1.3. Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable on the Closing Date, the Company and Merger Sub shall cause the certificate of merger in the form attached as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 251(c) of the DGCL. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by Merger Sub and the Company in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective date and time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).
          1.4. Effects of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
          1.5. Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws.
          (a) The Certificate of Incorporation of the Company, as the Surviving Entity shall be amended and restated to read the same as the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that Article I

-2-


 

of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Entity shall read as follows: “The name of this corporation is Interwoven, Inc.”. As so amended and restated, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Entity until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by the DGCL or other applicable Law.
          (b) The By-laws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Entity until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law; provided, however, that the By-laws of the Surviving Entity shall be amended as necessary to comply with the obligations of the Surviving Entity set forth in Section 6.4 hereof.
          1.6. Directors. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Entity at the Effective Time until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly designated, as the case may be.
          1.7. Officers. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Entity at the Effective Time until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be.
ARTICLE II
Effect of the Merger on the Capital Stock of the Constituent Entities;
Exchange of Certificates; Company Stock Options
          2.1. Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of Merger Sub or the Company or the holder of any capital stock of Merger Sub or the Company or any other person:
          (a) Merger Consideration. Each share (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of Parent, and (ii) Shares owned by the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company, and in each case not held on behalf of third parties (each, an “Excluded Share” and collectively, “Excluded Shares”) shall be converted into the right to receive $16.20 in cash from Merger Sub (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all of the Shares shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (a “Certificate”) formerly representing any of the Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, without interest.

-3-


 

          (b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Excluded Share shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of the Excluded Share, cease to be outstanding, be cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.
          (c) Merger Sub. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Entity.
          (d) Dissenting Shares.
          (i) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who have demanded and perfected appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares” ) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration. Such stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by them in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such stockholders fail to perfect or effectively withdraw or otherwise lose their appraisal rights under Section 262 of the DGCL. All Shares held by Company stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their right to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration in cash, without any interest thereon (subject to any applicable withholding taxes), upon the surrender or transfer, in the manner provided in Section 2.1(a), of the corresponding Certificate.
          (ii) The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other related instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company and (B) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.
          2.2. Exchange of Certificates.
          (a) Paying Agent. On or promptly following the Closing Date, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to a paying agent selected prior to the Closing Date by Parent with the Company’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (the “Paying Agent”), amounts sufficient in the aggregate to make all payments of the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund will be held in trust for the benefit of the holders of record of Shares (other than Excluded Shares). Any interest and

-4-


 

other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Exchange Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable under Section 2.1(a) shall be promptly returned to Parent.
          (b) Exchange Procedures. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within two Business Days) after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form specifying that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(e)) to the Paying Agent, such letter of transmittal to be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent and the Company may reasonably agree, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates as provided in Section 2.2(e)) in exchange for the Per Share Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(e)) to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of such letter of transmittal, duly executed, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a cash amount in immediately available funds (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(f)) equal to (x) the number of Shares represented by such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu of the Certificate as provided in Section 2.2(e)) multiplied by (y) the Per Share Merger Consideration, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. No interest will be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of the Certificates. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, a check for any cash to be exchanged upon due surrender of the Certificate may be issued to such transferee if the Certificate formerly representing such Shares is presented to the Paying Agent, accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and to evidence that any applicable stock transfer taxes have been paid or are not applicable.
          (c) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Paying Agent, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder of the Certificate is entitled pursuant to this Article II.
          (d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments of the Exchange Fund) that remains unclaimed by the stockholders of the Company for 365 days after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity. Any holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) who has not theretofore complied with this Article II shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity and Parent for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.2(f)) upon due surrender of such holder’s Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu of the Certificates),

-5-


 

without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Entity, Parent, the Paying Agent or any other person shall be liable to any former holder of Shares for any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws.
          (e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent, the posting by such person of a bond in customary and reasonable amount and upon such customary and reasonable terms as may be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Entity with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent will issue a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings) equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Per Share Merger Consideration.
          (f) Withholding Rights. Parent and the Surviving Entity shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any other applicable state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Entity or Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted by Parent or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, to the applicable Governmental Authority, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Entity or Parent, as the case may be.
          2.3. Company Equity Awards; ESPP.
          (a) Options. At the Effective Time, all Company Stock Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with an exercise price at or below $40.00 per share of Company Common Stock (a “Lower Priced Option”) shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with, and to the extent provided in, Section 6.10. At the Effective Time, all Company Stock Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time with an exercise price in excess of $40.00 per share of Company Common Stock (a “Higher Priced Option”) shall not be assumed by Parent and shall accordingly be cancelled with no cash or other consideration to be paid to the holders of such cancelled Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, all of such Higher Priced Options shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist.
          (b) Contingent Option Exercises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Company Stock Plans, the Company shall be permitted to take such actions as it may deem necessary or appropriate to permit the exercise of all vested Company Stock Options (including Company Stock Options that will vest upon the consummation of the Merger) on a cashless basis contingent upon the Closing. With

-6-


 

respect to each current or former employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries who exercises one or more Company Stock Options on such a cashless basis, the Company shall at the time of such exercise collect, either in the form of cash or through the withholding of a portion of the shares of Company Common Stock otherwise issuable upon such exercise, all federal, state and local income, employment and other payroll withholding taxes at the applicable rates and shall pay all such withholding taxes in cash to the appropriate taxing authorities promptly when due. The holders of Company Stock Options exercised on the foregoing basis shall be entitled to receive, promptly following the Effective Time, cash in respect of each share of Company Common Stock issued in connection with such cashless exercise, net of any shares withheld to satisfy the applicable withholding taxes, in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Per Share Merger Consideration, over (ii) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Company Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time.
          (c) Treatment of Company RSUs. At the Effective Time, each Company RSU outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 6.11.
          (d) ESPP. All purchase rights under the ESPP outstanding on the earlier of (a) April 30, 2009 and (b) the day immediately prior to the Effective Time (such earlier date, the “ESPP Purchase Date”), shall automatically be exercised, in accordance with the terms of the ESPP and resolutions of the Board relating thereto to the extent required pursuant to the terms of the ESPP, on the ESPP Purchase Date, and the shares of Company Common Stock purchased under those exercised rights shall at the Effective Time be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1. No further purchase rights shall be granted or exercised under the ESPP thereafter. No consent or approval of the participants in the ESPP is required in connection with the final purchase date and termination of the ESPP in accordance with this Section 2.3(d), and the ESPP and the agreement or agreements evidencing each outstanding purchase right under the ESPP permit each of the actions contemplated by this Section 2.3(d).
          2.4. Adjustments to Prevent Dilution. In the event that after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the Company changes the number of Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time as a result of a reclassification, stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization or other similar transaction, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted.

          3.1. Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is formed and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than (A) in any jurisdiction that does not recognize the concept of good standing, and (B) in such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or to be in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. The Company has Made Available to Parent complete and correct copies of its Certificate of Incorporation (the “Company Certificate”) and By-laws (the “Company By-laws”). The Company has Made Available to Parent or its representatives correct and complete copies of the minutes of all meetings of stockholders, the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board held since December 31, 2004.

Except for the capital stock or other equity or voting interests of its Subsidiaries and publicly traded securities held for investment that

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval (and in no event after obtaining such Company Stockholder Approval), in response to an unsolicited bona fide written Company Takeover Proposal made after the date hereof that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisor and its outside counsel) constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal, the Company may, if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel) that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, and subject to compliance with Section 5.2(c) and after giving Parent one Business Day written notice of such determination, (A) furnish information with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the person making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a customary confidentiality agreement not less restrictive of such person than the Confidentiality Agreement; provided that all such information (to the extent that such information has not been previously provided or Made Available to Parent) is provided or Made Available to Parent, as the case may be, prior to or substantially concurrent with the time it is provided or Made Available to such person, as the case may be, and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations with the person making such Company Takeover Proposal (and its Representatives) regarding such Company Takeover Proposal, and otherwise cooperate with and assist the person making such Company Takeover Proposal with respect to such Company Takeover Proposal.
          For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Takeover Proposal” shall mean any inquiry, proposal or offer, whether or not conditional, with respect to a proposed or potential Acquisition Transaction from a person other than Parent or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives (in their capacities as such). An “Acquisition Transaction” means (a) a merger, consolidation, dissolution, recapitalization or other business combination involving the Company or its Subsidiaries, (b) for the issuance of, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, 15% or more of the equity securities of the Company as consideration for the assets or securities of another person or (c) to acquire in any manner, directly or indirectly, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, 15% or more of the equity securities of the Company or assets (including equity securities of any Subsidiary of the Company) that represent 15% or more of the total consolidated assets of the Company, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
          For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Superior Proposal” shall mean any bona fide written offer made by a third party, that if consummated would result in

-45-


 

such person (or its stockholders) owning, directly or indirectly, greater than 50% of the Shares then outstanding (or of the surviving entity in a merger or the direct or indirect parent of the surviving entity in a merger) or all or substantially all of the total consolidated assets of the Company on terms that the Company Board determines in good faith (following consultation with its financial advisor and its outside counsel and in light of all relevant circumstances, including all the terms and conditions of such proposal and this Agreement) to (i) be more favorable to the stockholders of the Company from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) be reasonably likely to be completed, taking into account any financing and approval requirements and all other financing, legal, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.
          (b) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), or resolve to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by such Company Board or any such committee thereof of this Agreement or the Merger (it being understood that taking a neutral position or no position with respect to a Company Takeover Proposal (other than in connection with a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act) shall be considered an adverse modification), or (B) recommend, adopt or approve, or propose publicly to recommend, adopt or approve, any Acquisition Transaction (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) approve or recommend, or resolve to approve or recommend, or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, merger agreement, acquisition agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other similar agreement constituting or related to, any Acquisition Transaction (other than a confidentiality agreement pursuant to Section 5.2(a)); provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit accurate disclosure (and such disclosure shall not be deemed a Company Adverse Recommendation Change for any purpose under this Agreement) of the fact that a Company Takeover Proposal has been made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board determines in good faith (following consultation with its financial advisor and its outside counsel) that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; provided, however, that no Company Adverse Recommendation Change may be made in response to a Company Takeover Proposal until after 72 hours following Parent’s receipt of written notice from the Company (an “Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising Parent that the Company Board has determined that such Company Takeover Proposal is a Company Superior Proposal, that the Company Board intends to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change and containing all information required by Section 5.2(c), together with copies of any written offer or proposal in respect of such Company Superior Proposal (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Company Superior Proposal shall require a new Adverse Recommendation Notice and a new 72-hour period). During such 72 hour

-46-


 

period, the Company shall, if so requested by Parent, negotiate in good faith with Parent with respect to any revised proposal from Parent in respect of the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In making the determination that a Company Takeover Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal, the Company Board shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent (in response to an Adverse Recommendation Notice or otherwise).
          (c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 5.2, the Company shall promptly, and in no event later than 24 hours after any officer of the Company becomes aware of the receipt thereof by the Company, advise Parent orally and in writing of any request for information or other inquiry that the Company reasonably believes could lead to any Company Takeover Proposal, the terms and conditions of any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry (including any changes thereto) and the identity of the person making any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry. The Company shall (i) promptly keep Parent informed in all material respects of any material change in the status of, or any material modification or material amendment of any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry and (ii) provide Parent as soon as practicable copies of any written offer, all correspondence and any other written material sent or provided to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries from any person that describes any of the terms or conditions of any such request, Company Takeover Proposal or inquiry.
          (d) Nothing contained in this Section 5.2 shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2(a) or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any required disclosure to the stockholders of the Company if, in the good faith judgment of the Company Board (after consultation with its outside counsel), failure to so disclose would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties or other obligations to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.
          (e) Without limiting any other rights of Parent under this Agreement, neither any Company Adverse Recommendation Change nor any termination of this Agreement shall have any effect on any of the approvals or other actions referred to herein for the purpose of causing the Takeover Laws to be inapplicable to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, which approvals and actions are irrevocable.

If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to the Company or Parent, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, should be discovered by the Company or Parent that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, so that it would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of the Company. The Company shall notify Parent promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement for additional information and shall supply Parent with copies of all correspondence between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Merger.

Subject to Section 5.2(b), the Company Board shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders adoption of this Agreement and the Merger.
          (c) The Company Board, or a committee thereof consisting of non-employee directors (as such term is defined for purposes of Rule 16b-3(d) under the Exchange Act), shall adopt a resolution in advance of the Effective Time authorizing the disposition by the Company Insiders of their Shares for cash and the disposition of their outstanding Options, in each case pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby, for purposes of qualifying those dispositions for the exemption provided pursuant to Rule 16b-3(e) under the Exchange Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Insiders” means those officers and directors of the Company who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

          (a) Subject to any applicable Laws and regulations, Parent shall promptly prepare and use its commercially reasonable efforts to post to its shareholders, as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, the UK Class 1 Circular. The

-48-


 

Company agrees to provide Parent with such cooperation in connection with the preparation of the UK Class 1 Circular as may be reasonably requested in writing by Parent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the foregoing within seven days following the date of this Agreement, and Parent agrees that it will:
               (i) respond promptly to any comments from the Financial Services Authority (the “FSA”) on the draft UK Class 1 Circular, provide copies of such comments promptly to the Company and its advisors, and consult with the Company in a reasonably timely manner as to the form and content of the UK Class 1 Circular;
               (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that in each case the relevant draft(s) or redraft(s) of the UK Class 1 Circular shall be provided as soon as practicable to the Company so that the Company and its advisors can review and comment upon the relevant draft(s) and redraft(s) to the extent related to the Company or the Merger;
               (iii) consider the reasonable comments of Company and its advisors related to the Company or the Merger on the draft(s) and redraft(s) referred to in Section 6.2(a)(ii); and
               (iv) convene the Parent Shareholder Meeting and conduct the vote to approve the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (insofar as shareholder approval is required) as soon as reasonably practicable following the posting of the UK Class 1 Circular.
          (b) Subject to Section 6.2(c), Parent agrees that the UK Class 1 Circular shall incorporate a unanimous recommendation from Parent’s Directors to Parent’s shareholders to vote in favor of the shareholder resolutions necessary to effect the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (insofar as shareholder approval is required).
          (c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Parent Directors from withdrawing or modifying or proposing to withdraw or modify their recommendation in favor the Parent Shareholder Approval (a “Change of Parent Recommendation”) if, in the exercise of their fiduciary obligations as Parent Directors (as determined in good faith by the Parent Directors after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel) the failure to take such actions would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of the Parent Directors’ fiduciary obligations to Parent.
          (d) If Parent is required to issue any supplement to shareholders relating to information contained in the UK Class 1 Circular (the “Supplement ”), Parent shall notify the Company as soon as reasonably practicable of such requirement and shall:

-49-


 

                    (i) respond promptly to any comments from the FSA on the Supplement, provide copies of such comments promptly to the Company and its advisors, and consult with the Company as to the form and content of all the documentation relating to the Supplement relating to the Merger;
                    (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that in each case the relevant draft(s) or redraft(s) of the Supplement shall be provided as soon as practicable to the Company so that the Company and its advisors can review and comment upon the relevant draft(s) and redraft(s) to the extent related to the Company or the Merger;
                    (iii) consider the reasonable comments of Company and its advisors related to the Company or the Merger on the draft(s) and redraft(s) referred to in Section 6.2(d)(ii); and
                    (iv) if required, convene a shareholder meeting of Parent to approve any material change to the terms of this Agreement.
          Parent agrees that none of the information included or incorporated by reference in the UK Class 1 Circular or any Supplement will (except to the extent revised or superseded by amendments or supplements contemplated hereby), at the date the UK Class 1 Circular or any Supplement is filed with the United Kingdom’s Financial Services Authority or mailed to Parent’s shareholders or at the time of the Parent General Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading; provided, however, that no representation is made by Parent with respect to statements made in the UK Class 1 Circular or any Supplement based on information supplied by the Company in writing expressly for inclusion in the UK Class 1 Circular or any Supplement. The UK Class 1 Circular and any Supplement will comply as to form with the requirements of the Listing Rules of the United Kingdom Listing Authority made pursuant to the Financial Services and Markets Act.
          6.3. Access to Information; Confidentiality.
          (a) The Company shall afford to Parent, and its Representatives, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement to all its and its Subsidiaries’ properties, books, tax returns, contracts, commitments, personnel, records, statutory filings and databases and, during such period, the Company shall furnish promptly to Parent (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by the Company during such period pursuant to the requirements of Federal or state securities Laws and (b) consistent with its legal obligations all other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to permit any access, or to deliver or make available to Parent any information, to the extent that in

-50-


 

the reasonable judgment of the Company, such action would (a) result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties, (b) violate any contractual obligation of the Company with respect to confidentiality, (c) jeopardize protections afforded the Company under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine, or (d) violate any Law. Except for disclosures expressly permitted by the terms of the confidentiality agreement, dated as of September 16, 2008, between Parent and the Company (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Confidentiality Agreement”), each party shall hold, and shall cause its Representatives to hold, all information received from the other party, directly or indirectly, in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.
          (b) During the period prior to the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall provide, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and their respective officers, employees, representatives and advisors, including legal and accounting, to provide, to Parent and to the officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and other representatives of Parent, all cooperation that may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with Parent’s financing of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a), including (i) participation in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions and sessions with rating agencies, and (ii) assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with Parent’s financing of the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a); provided, however, that nothing herein shall require such cooperation to the extent it would involve or result in the Company or any of its directors, officers or representatives incurring any liability, or would interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or otherwise result in any significant interference with the prompt and timely discharge by such employees of their normal duties.
          6.4. Reasonable Best Efforts.
          (a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to accomplish the following: (i) the taking of all acts necessary to cause the conditions to Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities) and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, (iii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by, and to fully carry out the purposes of, this Agreement. In connection with and without limiting the first sentence of this Section 6.4,

-51-


 

each of the Company and the Company Board and Parent and the Parent Board shall (A) take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar statute or regulation is or becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (B) if any state takeover statute or similar statute becomes applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, take all action reasonably necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing shall be deemed to require Parent to (1) agree to, or proffer to, divest or hold separate any assets or any portion of any business of Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or, assuming the consummation of the Merger, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (2) not compete in any geographic area or line of business, (3) restrict the manner in which, or whether, Parent, the Company, the Surviving Entity or any of their respective Affiliates may carry on business in any part of the world or restrict the exercise of the full rights of ownership, (4) agree to any terms or conditions that would impose any obligations on Parent or any of its Subsidiaries or, assuming the consummation of the Merger, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to maintain facilities, operations, places of business, employment levels, products or businesses or any other restriction, limitation or qualification or (5) make any payments that, in the case of any of clauses (1) through (5), would, or would reasonably be likely to, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries or on Parent and its Subsidiaries (each, a “Negative Regulatory Action”).
          (b) Each of the parties hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Authority in connection with the Merger and in connection with any investigation, approval process or other inquiry by or before a Governmental Authority relating to the Merger, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, and (ii) keep the other party informed in all material respects and on a reasonably timely basis of any communication received by such party from, or given by such party to, the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”)or any other Governmental Authority and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding the Merger. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) Parent and the Company each agree to file a premerger notification under the HSR Act within seven days after the date of this Agreement, and (ii) each of Parent and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain promptly any clearance required under the HSR Act for the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply promptly with any inquiries or requests for additional information from the FTC and the DOJ. No Party hereto shall independently participate in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority in respect of any filings, applications, investigations, or other

-52-


 

inquiry without giving the other Parties hereto prior notice of the meeting and, to the extent permitted by the relevant Governmental Authority, the opportunity to attend and participate (which shall be limited to outside antitrust counsel only). Each party will consult with the other party in connection with the preparation of all written presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions, proposals, or other written submissions to any Governmental Authority that are prepared in connection with obtaining the clearance required under the HSR Act for the consummation of the Merger and the transactions contemplated hereby.
          6.5. Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.
          (a) All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts, omissions or other matters occurring or existing at or prior to the Effective Time now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers and employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in the Company Certificate, the Company By-laws or any agreement between the Company and any Indemnified Parties (in each case, as in effect on the date hereof) shall be assumed by the Surviving Entity in the Merger, without further action, as of the Effective Time and shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless, and provide advancement of expenses to the Indemnified Parties to the same extent such persons have the right to be indemnified and held harmless, or have the right to advancement of expenses, by the Company pursuant to the Company Certificate, the Company By-laws or any agreement between the Company and any Indemnified Parties, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
          (b) For six years after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance in respect of acts, omissions or other matters occurring or existing at or prior to the Effective Time (including for acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby) covering the Indemnified Parties currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy (a correct and complete copy of which has been heretofore Made Available to Parent) on terms with respect to such coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that Parent may substitute therefor policies of Parent containing terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable to such Indemnified Parties; provided, further, however, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.4(b), Parent shall not be obligated to pay aggregate premiums in excess of 250% of the amount paid by the Company in its last full fiscal year (the “Maximum Premium”), it being understood and agreed that Parent shall nevertheless be obligated to provide such coverage as may be obtained for the Maximum Premium. In lieu of the foregoing, Parent or the Company shall be entitled to purchase an extended reporting period endorsement with respect to the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (a “Reporting Tail Endorsement”) providing the same coverage and

-53-


 

amounts and containing substantially the same terms and conditions as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company, covering the period of six years after the Effective Time, and maintain such endorsement in full force and effect for its full term. If the Company’s existing insurance expires, is terminated or canceled during such six-year period or exceeds the Maximum Premium, the Surviving Entity shall obtain, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Entity to obtain, as much directors’ and officers’ liability insurance as can be obtained for the remainder of such period for an annualized premium not in excess of the Maximum Premium, on terms and conditions no less advantageous to the Indemnified Parties than the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.
          (c) The covenants contained in this Section 6.5 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives, and shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to Law, contract or otherwise. Parent shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by Indemnified Parties and their respective heirs and legal representatives in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 6.5.
          6.6. Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated, except that each of the Company and Parent shall bear and pay one-half of the fees and expenses (other than the fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants) incurred in connection with the printing and filing of the Proxy Statement with the SEC and any amendments or supplements thereto and the premerger notification and report forms under the HSR Act.
          6.7. Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with, or regulations of, any national securities exchange or national securities quotation system (including the FSA/UKLA’s Listing Rules and Disclosure and Transparency Rules), provided, however, that the Company need not consult with Parent in connection with any press release or public statement to be issued or made solely with respect to any Company Adverse Recommendation Change, any Acquisition Transaction or any Company Takeover Proposal. The parties agree that the initial press releases to be issued with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the forms heretofore agreed to by the parties.
          6.8. Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent orally and in writing of any stockholder litigation against the Company and/or its

-54-


 

directors relating to this Agreement, the Merger and/or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall keep Parent fully informed regarding any such stockholder litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation, shall give due consideration to Parent’s advice with respect to such stockholder litigation and shall not settle any such litigation prior to such consultation and consideration.
          6.9. Employee Matters.
          (a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall, if requested to do so by Parent with not less than five Business Days’ written notice, terminate its defined contribution 401(k) plans. Parent shall provide, or cause the Surviving Entity to provide, that the Employees are eligible to participate in a defined contribution 401(k) plan immediately following the Effective Time and that such defined contribution plan shall accept “eligible rollover distributions” for Employees from a terminated Company defined contribution 401(k) plan.
          (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who remain employed after the Effective Time (“Continuing Employees”) with substantially similar types and levels of benefits as those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent. With regard to any Company Plans for which service with Parent or any affiliate of Parent is relevant for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting, including applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation, but not for benefit accrual or accrual rates, Parent shall treat and cause its corresponding benefit and equity compensation plans to treat the service of the Continuing Employees with the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company prior to the Effective Time as service rendered to Parent or any affiliate of Parent for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting, including applicability of minimum waiting periods for participation, but not for benefit accrual or accrual rates. Following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent a true and correct schedule setting forth such service for each employee of the Company. Parent shall ensure that (i) no Continuing Employee, nor any eligible dependents of a Continuing Employee who, at the Effective Time, are participating in the Company group health plans, shall be excluded from Parent’s group health plans, or limited in coverage thereunder, by reason of any waiting period restriction or pre-existing condition limitation and (ii) Continuing Employees are given credit for amounts paid under a Company Plan during the plan year that includes the Effective Time for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments, and out-of-pocket maximums, as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of a similar benefit plan maintained by Parent for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent shall not be required to provide any coverage, benefits, or credit under clause (i) or (ii) above that is not permitted under the terms of Parent’s corresponding benefit plans.

-55-


 

          (c) Parent or the Surviving Entity shall assume and honor in accordance with their terms all written employment, severance, retention and termination agreements (including any change in control provisions therein) applicable to Continuing Employees.
          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall (1) be treated as an amendment of any particular Company Plan, (2) give any third party any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.9 or (3) obligate Parent, the Surviving Entity or any of their Affiliates to (i) maintain any particular Company Plan or (ii) retain the employment of any particular employee.
          6.10. Company Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Lower Priced Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (whether or not then vested or exercisable), together with each of the Company Stock Plans under which such Lower Priced Options are outstanding, shall be assumed by Parent subject to and in accordance with the following provisions:
          (a) Each such Lower Priced Option so assumed by Parent under this Agreement (an “Assumed Option”) shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including the terms and conditions set forth in the Company Stock Plan under which it was granted and the applicable stock option agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) such Assumed Option shall be exercisable for that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares, and (ii) the per share exercise price for the Parent Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such Assumed Option will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such Assumed Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent (or, if greater, the nominal value of Parent Ordinary Shares). It is the intention of the parties that the Company Stock Options assumed by Parent hereunder qualify, to the maximum extent permissible, following the Effective Time as “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 422 of the Code to the extent those Assumed Options qualified as incentive stock options prior to the Effective Time.
          (b) None of the Higher Priced Options outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed by Parent. Accordingly, the Company shall take all requisite or appropriate action, including appropriate action by the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of the Board, to assure that each such Higher Priced Option, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall terminate or expire at the Effective Time without any required consent or approval of the holder of the terminated or expired Company Stock Option and without any cash or other consideration payable to the holder of the Company Stock Option in connection with the termination or expiration of that Company Stock Option (subject to any right of the holder of such Company Stock Option

Plan under which it was granted and the applicable restricted stock unit agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each Assumed RSU that vests shall be settled for that number of whole Parent Ordinary Shares equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon settlement of such Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio and rounded down to the nearest whole number of Parent Ordinary Shares.
          (b) For so long as Parent Ordinary Shares are listed for trading on the London Stock Exchange or any other listing exchange, Parent shall cause all Parent Ordinary Shares issued with respect to each Company RSU so assumed to be admitted to the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange or such other listing exchange prior to or upon issuance of any such Parent Ordinary Shares.
          (c) No consent or approval of the holders of the Company RSUs is required in connection with Parent’s assumption of the Assumed RSUs in accordance with this Section 6.11.

terminate the Loan Agreement or amend or modify any term of the Loan Agreement or agree to or permit any termination of the Loan Agreement or any amendment or modification to any term of the Loan Agreement, waive any provision or remedy under the Loan Agreement, or fail to enforce any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Agreement if any such action or failure to take action would preclude or materially impede the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Parent shall keep the Company informed in all material respects on a timely basis of any material modification or material amendment to either of the Financing Agreements.

          (b) If any portion of the financing contemplated by the Financing Agreements becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions contemplated in the Financing Agreements as in effect on the date hereof, or if any of the Financing Agreements shall be terminated or modified in a manner materially adverse to Parent for any reason, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount sufficient to consummate the Merger (“Alternate Financing”). Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange promptly and consummate the Alternate Financing, including (i) using commercially reasonable efforts to (x) enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto; and (z) consummate the Alternate Financing at or prior to the Closing and (ii) seeking to enforce its rights under such agreements. In the event Alternate Financing is obtained and Parent enters into definitive agreements with respect thereto, references in this Agreement to the Financing Agreements shall be deemed to include such definitive agreements, as applicable.
          (c) Parent and Merger Sub agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Financing Agreements to the contrary,

(a) the respective obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Merger will not be subject to the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by either of the Financing Agreements or to Parent obtaining any of the financing contemplated thereby, (b) neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall have any right to terminate this Agreement on account of the termination of either of the Financing Agreements or the failure of Parent to obtain any of the financing contemplated thereby or any other financing necessary to enable Parent to pay the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.1(a), and (c) for the avoidance of doubt, the respective obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to effect the Merger shall not be affected or excused by the performance by Parent of its obligations under Section 6.14(a) and (b), or by any failure of Parent to obtain the financing contemplated by either of the Financing Agreements or by the Alternate Financing.

     (ii) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e) or Section 8.1(g); or
     (iii) this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(f),
then the Company shall (1) in the case of a Termination Fee payable pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 8.2(a), upon the date of such consummation of the Acquisition Transaction, (2) in the case of a Termination Fee payable pursuant to clause (ii) of this Section 8.2(a), within two Business Days after the date of such termination, and (3) in the case of a Termination Fee payable pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 8.2(a), concurrently with such termination, pay Parent a fee equal to $25,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds, provided, that the amount of the Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall be reduced by any amount that the Company has paid, or is required to pay, pursuant to Section 8.2(b).

          (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Parent Termination Fee (inclusive of the amounts in paragraph (f) below) exceeds the maximum

-66-


 

amount that may be paid without violating the Laws of England and Wales, the rules of the FSA/UKLA or the London Stock Exchange plc, then the amount of the Parent Termination Fee shall be reduced to be equal to the maximum amount that may be paid without violating the Laws of England and Wales, the rules of the FSA/UKLA or the London Stock Exchange plc (in each case, such maximum being that which may be paid without shareholder approval).
          (e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement. If the Company fails promptly to pay the amount due pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or (b), and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for such fee, the Company shall pay to Parent its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount of the fee from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime rate of Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

          (g) Each of the parties hereto further acknowledges that neither the payment of the Termination Fee or the fee described in Section 8.2(b) by the Company nor the payment of the Parent Termination Fee by Parent is a penalty, but in each case is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent or the Company, as the case may be, in the circumstances in which such fees are payable and which do not involve fraud for the efforts and resources expended and the opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.
          8.3. Effect of Termination.
          (a) In the event of termination of this Agreement by either the Company or Parent as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company, other than the provisions of the last sentence of Section 6.3(a), Sections 6.6 and 8.2, this Section 8.3 and Article IX, which provisions shall survive such

          8.4. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time before or after receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval or the Parent Shareholder Approval; provided, however, that after the Company Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the stockholders of the Company without such approval having been obtained; provided, further, that after the Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained, there shall be made no amendment that by Law requires further approval by the shareholders of Parent without such approval having been obtained. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

At any time prior to the Effective Time, the parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (c) subject to the provisos to the first sentence of Section 8.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.

A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 or an amendment of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4 shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of the Company, action by the Company Board, or, with respect to any amendment of this Agreement pursuant to
