ARTICLE 2

CONVERSION OF SHARES; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

Section 2.1Effect on Capital Stock

(a)At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Company, Merger Sub or the holders of any securities of the Company or Merger Sub:

(i)Conversion of Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (collectively, the “Common Stock,” and each, a “Share” and together, the “Shares”) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Cancelled Shares and Converted Shares, shall be converted automatically into and shall thereafter represent the right to receive $60.50 in cash (the “Merger Consideration”). All Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1 shall be automatically cancelled and shall cease to exist, and the holders of Book-Entry Shares or Certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration and the right to receive any then declared and unpaid dividend or other distribution with respect to such Shares having a record date before the Effective Time (in each case, less any applicable withholding Taxes) in accordance with this Article 2.

(ii) Company-, Parent- and Merger Sub-Owned Shares. Each Share of Common Stock that is owned directly by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Cancelled Shares”) shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange for such cancellation and retirement. Each Share of Common Stock that is owned directly by any Subsidiary of the Company, any Subsidiary of Parent (other than Merger Sub) or any Subsidiary of Merger Sub (the “Converted Shares”) as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation so as to maintain relative ownership percentages. No Merger Consideration shall be paid in respect of Cancelled Shares or Converted Shares.

3



(iii) Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing the common stock of Merger Sub shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(b)Certain Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares of Common Stock of the Company shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class of shares by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or exchange of shares, the Merger Consideration shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to proportionally reflect such change.

Section 2.2Exchange of Certificates

(a)Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, with a U.S. bank or trust company that shall be appointed to act as a paying agent hereunder and reasonably approved in advance by the Company (the “Paying Agent”), in trust for the benefit of holders of the Shares, cash in U.S. dollars sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration in exchange for all of the Shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Cancelled Shares and the Converted Shares), payable upon due surrender of the certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented Shares (“Certificates”) (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2 (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”).

(b)Payment Procedures.

(i)As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second Business Day following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Shares whose Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1, (A) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as is customary), and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration.

(ii)Upon surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may customarily be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the number of Shares represented by such holder's properly surrendered Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares and (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes). No interest shall be paid or accrued on any amount payable upon due surrender of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares.

4




(iii)The Paying Agent, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable under this Agreement such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or under any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was properly made.

(c)Closing of Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the Shares that were outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d)Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund (including the proceeds of any investments thereof) that remains undistributed to the former holders of Shares on the first anniversary of the Effective Time shall thereafter be delivered to the Surviving Corporation upon demand, and any former holders of Shares who have not surrendered their Shares in accordance with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon, upon due surrender of Certificates for their Shares (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof).

(e)No Liability. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, 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 any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(f)Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest all cash included in the Exchange Fund as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government; provided, further, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates (or effective affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article 2, and following any losses from any such investment, Parent shall promptly provide additional funds to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holders of Shares of Common Stock of the Company. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation pursuant to Section 2.2(d).

5



(g)Transferred Shares. If any portion of the Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate or the transferred Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that (i) either such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer or such Book-Entry Share shall be properly transferred and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Paying Agent any transfer or other similar Tax required as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the satisfaction of the Payment Agent that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

(h)Lost Certificates. In the case of any Certificate that 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 the Paying Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount of the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate multiplied by the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes).

Section 2.3Treatment of Company Equity Awards
 
(a)Company Options.

(i)Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is vested as of the date hereof or becomes vested prior to the Effective Time in accordance with its terms or Section 2.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter (each, a "Vested Option") shall as of the Effective Time, be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Vested Option and (y) the total number of Shares subject to such Vested Option. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to the holders of Vested Options the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, promptly but in any event within seven days following the Effective Time.

(ii)Each Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (and does not become vested in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter) (each, an "Unvested Option") shall as of the Effective Time, automatically convert into an award to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the exercise price per Share of such Unvested Option and (y) the total number of Shares subject to such Unvested Option. Such converted award shall remain subject to the same vesting terms and conditions that applied to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including continued employment with Parent or the Company through the applicable vesting date, and the applicable cash amounts shall be paid out, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, promptly but in any event within thirty days of the vesting date.

6



(iii) If the applicable exercise price per Share of any Company Option equals or exceeds the Merger Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled without payment of additional consideration, and all rights with respect to such Company Option shall terminate as of the Effective Time.

(b)Company RSUs.

(i)Each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that becomes vested at the Effective Time in accordance with its terms or Section 2.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter (each, a "Vested RSU"), shall as of the Effective Time, automatically convert into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to such Vested RSU and (y) the Merger Consideration. Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to the holders of Vested RSUs the cash amounts described in the immediately preceding sentence, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, promptly but in any event within seven days following the Effective Time.

(ii)Each Company RSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time (and does not become vested in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter) (each, an "Unvested RSU"), shall as of the Effective Time, automatically convert into an award to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the total number of Shares subject to such Unvested RSU and (y) the Merger Consideration. Such converted award shall remain subject to the same vesting terms and conditions that applied to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time, including continued employment with Parent or the Company through the applicable vesting date, and shall be paid, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law with respect to the making of such payment, on the same payment schedule as applied to such award immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any award of Company Options or Company RSUs that is subject to performance-based vesting and for which the performance period is incomplete as of the Effective Time, the performance with respect to such awards will be determined in accordance with Section 2.3 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

(d)Prior to the Effective Time, the Company, through its Board of Directors or an appropriate committee thereof, will adopt such resolutions as may reasonably be required in its discretion to effectuate the actions contemplated by this Section 2.3 and to ensure that no holder of a Company Equity Award shall have any right thereunder to acquire any securities of the Company, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates or to receive any payment or benefit with respect to any award previously granted under a Company Stock Plan, except as provided in this Section 2.3.

7




Section 2.4Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The Company shall take all necessary action to ensure (i) that no new offering periods under the Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended and restated (the “ESPP”) will commence during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, (ii) that there will be no increase in the amount of payroll deductions permitted to be made by the participants under the ESPP during the current offering period, except those made in accordance with payroll deduction elections that already are in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and (iii) that no individual shall commence participation in the ESPP during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time. The accumulated contributions of the participants in the current offering period shall be used to purchase Shares as of no later than ten Business Days prior to the Effective Time, and the participants' purchase rights under such offerings shall terminate immediately after such purchase. As of no later than the Business Day immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall terminate the ESPP.

Section 5.2Access.

(a)Subject to compliance with applicable Laws, the Company shall afford to Parent and to its officers, employees, accountants, consultants, legal counsel, financial advisors and agents and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable advance notice, throughout the period prior to the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, to the Company's and its Subsidiaries' properties, contracts, commitments, books and records, other than any such matters that relate to the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, including the Company's process of considering potential strategic alternatives leading up to the execution of this Agreement or otherwise with respect to the consideration or valuation of the Merger or any actual or potential financial or strategic alternatives thereto, or any Alternative Proposal or Superior Proposal. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Company shall not be required to afford such access if it would unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would cause a violation of any agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party (provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such third Person to such agreement), would cause a risk of a loss of privilege or trade secret protection to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or would constitute a violation of any applicable Law.

(b)Parent hereby agrees that all information provided to it or any Parent Representatives in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be Evaluation Material, as such term is used in, and shall be treated in accordance with, the confidentiality agreement, dated as of July 5, 2016, between the Company and Greeneden U.S. Holdings II, LLC (the “Confidentiality Agreement”).

Section 5.3No Solicitation.

(a)Subject to the provisions of this Section 5.3, from the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time and the Termination Date, the Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, cooperate with, knowingly facilitate or knowingly induce the making of any submission or announcement of an Alternative Proposal or the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Alternative Proposal, (ii) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding an Alternative Proposal with, or furnish any nonpublic information regarding an Alternative Proposal to, any Person that has made or, to the Knowledge of the Company, is considering making an Alternative Proposal (except, in each case, solely to notify such Person of the existence of the provisions of this Section 5.3), (iii) approve, endorse or recommend an Alternative Proposal, (iv) terminate, amend, release, modify or fail to enforce any provision of, or grant any permission, waiver or request under, any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company in respect of or in contemplation of an Alternative Proposal, (v) take any action to make the provisions of any takeover laws inapplicable to any Alternative Proposal, (vi) enter into any letter of intent or agreement in principle or any agreement providing for any Alternative Proposal (except for confidentiality agreements permitted under Section 5.3(b)) or (vii) publicly propose to do any of the foregoing.

(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, if the Company receives an Alternative Proposal that was not solicited in violation of Section 5.3(a) and that either constitutes, or that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal and financial advisors would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal, the Company may take the following actions: (x) furnish nonpublic information to the third party making such Alternative Proposal, if, prior to so furnishing such information,

33



the third party has entered into an executed confidentiality agreement with the Company having provisions as to confidential treatment of information that are not materially less favorable to the Company than the confidentiality provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, and (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with the third party with respect to the Alternative Proposal; provided that (i) the Company shall notify Parent orally (and then in writing within twenty-four (24) hours) of any inquiry made to the Company with respect to, or which would reasonably be expected to lead to, any Alternative Proposal, the identity of the Person or group making any such Alternative Proposal, request or inquiry, the terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal, request or inquiry, copies of all written documents, requests or inquiries relating to any Alternative Proposal (including the financing thereof), and (ii) contemporaneously with furnishing any non-public information to such third party (and/or its Representatives), the Company shall furnish or make available such non-public information to Parent or its Representatives (to the extent such information has not been previously furnished to Parent). The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that any material violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.3 by any Subsidiary of the Company or any Representative of the Company of any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 5.3 by the Company.

(c)Except as set forth in this Section 5.3, the Board of Directors of the Company shall not (i) fail to make, withdraw, qualify (or modify in any manner adverse to Parent), or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify (or modify in any manner adverse to Parent), the Recommendation, (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable any Alternative Proposal or propose publicly to approve, recommend or declare advisable any Alternative Proposal, (iii) take any formal action or make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer other than a recommendation against such offer or a temporary “stop, look and listen” communication by the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act, or (iv) enter into any agreement, contract or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or breach its obligations hereunder or fail to consummate the Merger (any such action, a “Change of Recommendation”). Anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement notwithstanding, prior to obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval, the Board of Directors of the Company may, in response to a Superior Proposal received by the Company after the date of this Agreement on an unsolicited basis, (x) make a Change of Recommendation or (y) cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g) (provided that prior to or simultaneously with such termination the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal and paid the Company Termination Fee) solely in the event that:

(i)the Board of Directors of the Company has received a Superior Proposal after the date of this Agreement;

(ii)the Company shall have given Parent at least five Business Days' written notice (a “Superior Proposal Notice”) advising Parent of its intention to make such a Change of Recommendation or terminate this Agreement (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”), which Superior Proposal Notice shall include all material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal that is the basis for the proposed action of the Board of Directors of the Company, the identity of the Person making the Superior Proposal and a copy of the most current version of the proposed definitive agreement for such Superior Proposal;

(iii)if requested by Parent, during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, the Company shall have met and negotiated with Parent regarding modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Superior Proposal ceases to be a Superior Proposal;

34



(iv)at the end of such Superior Proposal Notice Period, after taking into account any binding commitments made by Parent to amend the terms of this Agreement during the period following delivery of such Superior Proposal Notice, the Board of Directors of the Company concludes that the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Superior Proposal Notice continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided that (x) any material modifications to the terms of the Superior Proposal shall commence a new Superior Proposal Notice Period under clause (ii) of three Business Days; and

(v)the Board of Directors of the Company determines (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and after considering any counter-offer or proposal made by Parent pursuant to clause (iv) above), that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to terminate this Agreement or effect a Change of Recommendation would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law;

(d)Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or its Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to its shareholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company's outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors' exercise of their fiduciary duties under applicable Law, or from issuing a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position thereunder (provided, however, that any disclosure other than a “stop, look and listen” disclosure or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, an express rejection of an applicable Alternative Proposal or an express reaffirmation of the Recommendation shall be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation) or (ii) making any disclosure to its shareholders if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company's outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Board of Directors of the Company to make such disclosure would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors' exercise of their fiduciary obligations to the Company's shareholders under applicable Law. In the event that, subsequent to the date hereof and prior to the Company Meeting, there shall have been a Change of Recommendation as contemplated by Section 5.3(c) and this Agreement has not been terminated, the Company shall nevertheless submit this Agreement to the shareholders of the Company for adoption and approval at the Company Meeting.

(e)Alternative Proposal“ means any bona fide inquiry, proposal, indication of interest or offer made by any Person relating to (i) a merger, reorganization, share exchange, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization or similar transaction or series of related transactions involving the Company, (ii) the acquisition by any Person, directly or indirectly, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, or (iii) the acquisition by any Person, directly or indirectly, of twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock or any tender offer (including a self-tender offer) or exchange offer that, if consummated, would result in a Person beneficially owning twenty percent (20%) or more of the outstanding Shares of Common Stock.


35



(f)Superior Proposal“ means a written Alternative Proposal, substituting in the definition thereof “fifty percent (50%)” for “twenty percent (20%)” in each place it appears, that (i) was not solicited in violation of this Section 5.3, and (ii) the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company's outside financial and legal advisors, and considering such factors as Board of Directors of the Company considers to be (x) reasonably likely to be consummated in accordance with its terms, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of the proposal, including, to the extent debt financing is required, the likelihood of obtaining necessary financing, the identity of the Person making such Alternative Proposal, and whether such proposal is fully financed by means of an executed customary commitment letter from a reputable Person that has agreed to provide or cause to be provided the amounts set forth therein, and (y) if completed, would be more favorable to the Company's shareholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (after giving effect to any adjustments to the terms and provisions of this Agreement agreed to in writing by Parent in response to such Alternative Proposal).

Section 5.4Filings; Other Actions.

(a)The Company shall prepare (in consultation with Parent) and file with the SEC the Proxy Statement, which shall, subject to Section 5.3, include the Recommendation, and shall use reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments by the SEC staff in respect of the Proxy Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable after the receipt thereof, and shall cause the definitive Proxy Statement to be mailed to the Company's shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC. Parent and Merger Sub shall provide to the Company such information concerning themselves and their Affiliates as is customarily included in a proxy statement prepared in connection with a transaction of the type contemplated by this Agreement or as otherwise required by Law, requested by the SEC or its staff or as the Company may reasonably request and the Company shall provide Parent an opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Statement prior to filing or mailing the Proxy Statement and shall consider in good faith any comments reasonably proposed by Parent.

(b)The Company and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, may not communicate in writing with the SEC or its staff with respect to the Proxy Statement, as the case may be, without providing the other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such written communication which comments shall be considered by the filing party in good faith.

(c)The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub, on the other hand, will advise the other, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for (A) any amendment or revisions to the Proxy Statement, as the case may be, (B) any receipt of comments from the SEC or its staff on the Proxy Statement, as the case may be, or (C) any receipt of a request by the SEC or its staff for additional information in connection therewith.

(d)Subject to the other provisions of this Agreement and as promptly as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, the Company shall (i) take all action required by the IBCL and its articles of incorporation and bylaws to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders after the Proxy Statement is cleared by the SEC for mailing to the Company's shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the Company Shareholder Approval (the “Company Meeting”), and (ii) subject to a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 5.3, use reasonable best efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of the approval of the adoption of this Agreement.

36



Section 5.5Employee Matters.

(a)For the period of six months after the Effective Time, Parent shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, to Company employees who continue to be employed by the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time (“Company Employees”) (i) base salary or wages that are no less favorable than was provided to the Company Employee immediately before the Effective Time and (ii) all other compensation and benefits (excluding stock based benefits, if any) that, in the aggregate, are no less favorable than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries; provided, that until such time as Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause Company Employees to participate in a New Plan (as defined below), a Company Employee’s continued participation in the applicable Company Benefit Plan shall be deemed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii) (it being understood that participation in the applicable New Plans may commence at different times with respect to each Company Benefit Plan). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to each Company Employee whose employment is terminated in a severance qualifying termination (as determined in accordance with the applicable Company Benefit Plan) during the six-month period following the Effective Time severance benefits at the same level as the severance benefits that the Company Employee would have been entitled under the Company Benefit Plans had the Company Employee’s employment been terminated in a severance qualifying termination immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b)For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Company Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Company Employee shall be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time, to the same extent as such Company Employee was entitled, before the Effective Time, to credit for such service under any similar Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated or was eligible to participate immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Company Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is comparable to a Company Benefit Plan in which such Company Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical and/or vision benefits to any Company Employee, Parent shall cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such employee and his or her covered dependents, unless such conditions would not have been waived under the comparable plans of the Company or its Subsidiaries in which such employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time, and Parent shall cause any eligible expenses incurred by such employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plans ending on the date such employee's participation in the corresponding New Plan begins 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 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.

(c)Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Company Benefit Plans will occur at or prior to the Effective Time, as applicable.

(d)The Company may implement a retention program in accordance with Section 5.5(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter.

37



(e)With respect to Company Employees who are eligible to receive a cash bonus (“Annual Bonus Plan Participant”) pursuant to the Company annual bonus plans for 2016 that are in effect as of the date hereof, the Company shall be permitted to (and if the Effective Time occurs before the payment of such bonus, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay to each Annual Bonus Plan Participant his or her annual cash bonus for 2016 based on actual performance through December 31, 2016 in accordance with the terms of the applicable Company bonus plans, with any earned payments to be made to Annual Bonus Plan Participants at the same time after the end of the year as payments have customarily been made by the Company pursuant to the terms of the applicable Company bonus plans. After the Effective Time, if an Annual Bonus Plan Participant’s employment is terminated by Parent or the Surviving Corporation other than for “cause” (as customarily defined by the Parent) prior to the payment of the earned annual bonus for 2016, such Annual Bonus Plan Participant shall be entitled to a prorated payment of the actual earned bonus based on the number of days in 2016 that such Annual Bonus Plan Participant was employed by the Company and by Parent and the Surviving Corporation, with the payment to be made at the same time as payments are made pursuant to the applicable annual bonus plan for employees who remain employed through the payment date.

(f)As soon as reasonably practicable following the date hereof (and in any event prior to the Closing Date), the Company shall, or shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to, take all actions necessary to fulfill all consultation and notification requirements, and obtain all approvals from, any works councils or other labor organizations, whether required pursuant to applicable Law or otherwise.

(g)If requested by Parent in writing no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date, the Board of Directors of the Company (or the appropriate committee thereof) shall adopt resolutions and take all actions that are necessary to terminate the Company’s 401(k) plan (the “Company 401(k) Plan”) effective as of the day prior to the Closing Date. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of the resolutions and/or plan amendments evidencing that the Company 401(k) Plan has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

(h)Without limiting the generality of Section 8.10, the provisions of this Section 5.5 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former director, employee or consultant or any other person shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be construed as an amendment to any Company Benefit Plan or other compensation or benefit plan or arrangement for any purpose. Nothing in this Section 5.5 express or implied, shall confer upon any Company Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof or other Person, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or a right in any employee or beneficiary of such employee or other Person under a Company Benefit Plan that such employee or beneficiary or other Person would not otherwise have under the terms of that Company Benefit Plan.

38



Section 5.6Efforts.

(a)Each of the parties hereto shall use all reasonable best efforts to take promptly, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do promptly, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the End Date, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, approvals, orders, non-objections and expirations or terminations of waiting periods, including the Specified Approvals and the Parent Approvals, from Governmental Entities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain an approval, clearance or waiver from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Entity, (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, approvals, non-objections or waivers from third parties, (iii) the defending of any Actions, lawsuits or other legal proceedings, whether judicial or administrative, challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iv) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries be required to pay prior to the Effective Time any fee, penalty or other consideration to any third party for any consent or approval required for or triggered by this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby under any contract or agreement or otherwise.

(b)None of the Company, Parent, or Merger Sub shall unilaterally and voluntarily approach CFIUS with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall not be required to, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to and, without the prior written consent of Parent shall not, take any action, or agree to any condition or limitation contemplated in this Section 5.6, that would, or would reasonably be expected to, have a material adverse effect on (i) the business, results or operations, EBITDA, or financial condition of either (x) Parent and its Subsidiaries or (y) the Company and its Subsidiaries (in each case of (x) and (y), measured on a scale relative to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole) or (ii) the benefits or advantages Parent expects to receive from the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

In the event of any such Action, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cooperate with the Indemnified Party in the defense of any such Action.

(c)For a period of six years from the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time; provided, however, that after the Effective Time, Parent shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the last annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof in respect of the coverage required to be obtained pursuant hereto, but in such case shall purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for such amount. In lieu of the foregoing, at the Company's option, the Company may purchase (subject to reasonable consultation with Parent), prior to the Effective Time, a six-year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors' and officers' liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby. If such prepaid “tail” policy has been obtained by the Company prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by the Surviving Corporation, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for insurance hereunder.

(d)Parent shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 5.9.

(e)The rights of each Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Indemnified Party may have under the articles of incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation, any other indemnification arrangement, the IBCL or otherwise.

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall promptly notify Parent of all (i) notices and other communications received by the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such party to obtain such consent could be material to the Company, its Subsidiaries or Parent and (ii) Actions commenced or threatened against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case in connection with, arising from or otherwise relating to the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement (“Transaction Litigation”) (including by providing copies of all pleadings with respect thereto) and thereafter keep Parent reasonably informed with respect to the status thereof. The Company shall (a) give Parent the opportunity to participate in the defense, settlement or prosecution of any Transaction Litigation; and (b) consult with Parent with respect to the defense, settlement and prosecution of any Transaction Litigation and not settle or compromise any Transaction Litigation without consent of Parent. For purposes of this Section 5.12, “participate” means that Parent will be kept apprised of proposed strategy and other significant decisions with respect to the Transaction Litigation by the Company (to the extent that the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel is not undermined or otherwise affected).

(a)(i)  Parent and Merger Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to arrange and consummate the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in or contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments (taking into account any “market flex” provisions in the related fee letter) or on terms and conditions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Parent Parties (as determined by the Parent Parties in good faith) than the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Financing Commitments (taking into account any “market flex” provisions in the related fee letter), including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Debt Financing Commitments, (ii) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by the Parent Parties, to obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis (taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period) all conditions to funding in the Debt Financing Commitments that are within the control of the Parent Parties, (iii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect thereto on terms and conditions described in the Debt Financing Commitments (taking into account any “market flex” provisions in the related fee letter) at or prior to the Closing on terms and conditions that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Parent Parties (as determined by the Parent Parties in good faith) than terms contained in the Debt Financing Commitments (including any “market flex” provisions in the related fee letter); provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the documentation relating to the bridge loan facilities contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments shall not be required until reasonably necessary in connection with the funding of the Debt Financing, (iv) enforce its rights under the Debt Financing Commitments and (v) in the event that all conditions in the Debt Financing Commitments have been satisfied or waived, use reasonable best efforts to cause the lenders party to the Debt Financing Commitments to fund on the Closing Date the Debt Financing necessary to fund, in part, the Required Amount (which may include litigation pursued in good faith). To the extent reasonably requested by the Company from time to time, Parent shall keep the Company informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) and, upon the reasonable request of the Company, Parent shall provide to the Company copies of the definitive agreements related to the Debt Financing (or Alternative Financing) for the purpose of monitoring the progress of the financing activities.

45



(ii)In the event any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including after giving effect to the exercise of any “market flex” provisions in the related fee letter) contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments for any reason, (A) Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing and (B) Parent and Merger Sub shall use, and shall cause their respective subsidiaries to use, their reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative financing from alternative sources in an amount, when added with the available portion of the Debt Financing and cash on hand at the Parent Parties and their subsidiaries and cash on hand at the Company and its subsidiaries, sufficient to fund the Required Amount (the “Alternative Financing”) as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, on terms and conditions (taking into account any “market flex” provisions in the related fee letter) that are no less favorable in the aggregate to the Parent Parties (as determined by the Parent Parties in good faith) than the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter (taking into account any “market flex” provisions in the related fee letter). If applicable, except as otherwise expressly stated, references in this Agreement to the terms “Debt Financing Commitments” and “Debt Financing” shall include any Alternative Financing.

(iii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall promptly notify the Company in writing (A) if a Debt Financing Commitment expires or is terminated in either case for any reason prior to its stated date of expiration or termination (or if any Person attempts or purports in writing to terminate a Debt Financing Commitment prior to the stated date of termination, whether or not such attempted or purported early termination is valid), (B) if there exists any material breach, material default, repudiation, cancellation or early termination by any Lender (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could reasonably be expected to give rise to any material breach, material default, repudiation, cancellation or early termination) of which Parent becomes aware and that would, in any such case, reasonably be expected to adversely affect the timely availability (taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period) or the amount of the Debt Financing, (C) of the receipt by the Parent Parties or Merger Sub of any written notice or other written communication from any Lender with respect to any (I) actual material breach, material default, repudiation, cancellation or early termination by such Lender that would, in any such case, reasonably be expected to adversely affect the timely availability (taking into account the timing of the Marketing Period) or the amount of the Debt Financing or (II) material dispute or disagreement between the Parent Parties and any Lender related to the obligation to fund the Debt Financing or the amount of the Debt Financing to be funded at Closing (but excluding for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Debt Financing and/or the definitive agreements with respect thereto) or (D) if for any reason the Parent Parties or Merger Sub believe in good faith that there is a reasonable possibility that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments. As soon as reasonably practicable, Parent shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company and that is reasonably available to the Parent Parties relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) of the immediately preceding sentence.


46



(iv)Parent Parties shall not (without the prior written consent of the Company) consent or agree to any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to, or any waiver of any provision under, the Debt Financing Commitments if such amendment, replacement, supplement, modification or waiver (1) decreases the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing to an amount that, when combined with cash on hand at the Parent Parties and their subsidiaries and cash on hand at the Company and its subsidiaries, would or would reasonably be expected to be less than the Required Amount, or (2) imposes new or additional conditions or otherwise expands, amends or modifies any of the conditions to the receipt of the Debt Financing, in the case of this clause (2), in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (A) prevent, delay or materially impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) make the funding of the Debt Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Debt Financing) less likely to occur, or (C) materially adversely impact the ability of the Parent Parties to enforce its rights against the Lenders under the Debt Financing Commitments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for the avoidance of doubt, the Parent Parties may amend, replace, supplement and/or modify the Debt Financing Commitments to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, commitment parties, purchasers or similar entities as parties thereto who had not executed the Debt Financing Commitments as of the date hereof.

(v)Notwithstanding the foregoing, compliance by Parent with this Section 5.16(a) shall not relieve Parent or Merger Sub of their obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement whether or not the Debt Financing is available and each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges that this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are not contingent on Parent’s or Merger Sub’s ability to obtain the Debt Financing (or any Alternative Financing) or any specific term with respect to such financing.

(vi)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Section 5.16(a) shall require, and in no event shall the reasonable best efforts of Parent and Merger Sub be deemed or construed to require, Parent or Merger Sub to pay any fees or agree to pay any interest rate amounts, in either case, in excess of those contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments (taking into account any “market flex” provisions contained in the related fee letter) or to consummate the Debt Financing prior to the completion of the Marketing Period.

(b)Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries to and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective officers, directors and employees to, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to, direct its and their respective accountants, legal counsel and other Representatives to, provide to the Parent Parties and Merger Sub, at the Parent Parties’ sole cost and expense, all customary cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (solely for purposes of this Section 5.11(b), the term “Debt Financing” shall be deemed to include one or more offerings of customary “high yield” non-convertible debt securities to be issued or incurred in lieu of any bridge facility contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments or pursuant to any “market flex” or “securities demand” provisions of the related fee letter) contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments; provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, including:

Section 7.3Company Termination Fee.

(a)Company Termination Fee. Any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if (i) the Company shall have validly terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g)(i), (ii) Parent shall have validly terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(g)(ii) or (iii) (A) after the date of this Agreement, an Alternative Proposal is publicly proposed or publicly disclosed prior to, and, with respect to a termination under Section 7.1(d), not withdrawn at least two Business Days prior to, the Company Meeting (a “Qualifying Transaction”), (B) this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(d) and Section 7.1(f), and (C) concurrently with or within twelve months after such termination, the Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement providing for a Qualifying Transaction or completed a Qualifying Transaction, then the Company shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Parent, a fee of $43 million in cash (the “Company Termination Fee”), such payment to be made within three Business Days of such termination, or in the case of Section 7.3(a)(iii), within three Business Days after the later of (y) termination of this Agreement and (z) the date the Company enters into a definitive agreement providing for a Qualifying Transaction or completes a Qualifying Transaction, as applicable; it being understood that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Upon the payment by the Company of the Company Termination Fee as and when required by this Section 7.3(a), the Company shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective Affiliates or Representatives, except to the extent provided in Section 7.2.

(b)Acknowledgements. Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of this Agreement and that, without Section 7.3(a), Parent would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.3, the Company shall pay to the Parent all fees, costs and expenses of enforcement (including attorneys' fees as well as expenses incurred in connection with any action initiated by such party), together with interest on the amount of the Company Termination Fee at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, in effect on the date such payment is required to be made. The parties further acknowledge that the Company Termination Fee shall not constitute a penalty but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent in the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. If this Agreement is terminated in circumstances where the Company Termination Fee is payable pursuant to this Section 7.3, then following receipt by the Parent of the Company Termination Fee, the Company Termination Fee (i) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any and all damages against the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives arising out of, related to this Agreement, any contract or agreement executed in connection herewith, any breach by the

55



Company of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and any claims or actions arising out of the foregoing, and (ii) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Merger Sub against the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives and none of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, shareholders, managers, members, Affiliates or Representatives for any losses suffered as a result of this Agreement, any contract or agreement executed in connection herewith, any breach of this Agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and none of the foregoing Persons shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The parties acknowledge that the right to receive the Company Termination Fee shall not limit or otherwise affect any such party's right to specific performance as provided in Section 8.5.

Section 7.4Parent Termination Fee.

(a)Parent Termination Fee. Any provision in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, if the Company shall have validly terminated this Agreement pursuant to (i) Section 7.1(e), or (ii) Section 7.1(h), then Parent shall pay, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, a fee of $86 million in cash (the “Parent Termination Fee”), such payment to be made within three Business Days of such termination; it being understood that in no event shall the Parent be required to pay the Parent Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Upon the payment by the Parent of the Parent Termination Fee as and when required by this Section 7.4(a), together with any reimbursement owed for any Recoverable Amounts, the Parent and the Specified Persons shall have no further liability with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to the Company or their respective Affiliates or Representatives.

(b)Acknowledgements. Each party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 7.4 are an integral part of this Agreement and that, without Section 7.4(a), the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Parent fails to promptly pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.4, Parent shall pay to the Company all fees, costs and expenses of enforcement (including attorneys' fees as well as expenses incurred in connection with any action initiated by such party), together with interest on the amount of the Parent Termination Fee at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, in effect on the date such payment is required to be made. The parties further acknowledge that the Parent Termination Fee shall not constitute a penalty but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that (i) will compensate the Company in the circumstances in which Parent Termination Fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Merger, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, (ii) shall be in full and complete satisfaction of any and all damages against the Specified Persons arising out of, related to this Agreement, any contract or agreement executed in connection herewith (including the Debt Commitment Letter), any breach by the Parent or Merger Sub of this Agreement, the failure to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and any claims or actions arising out of the foregoing, and (iii) shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of the Company and its Affiliates for damages against Parent, Merger Sub and the former, current or future, direct or indirect, equityholders, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners of Parent, Merger Sub or any of their respective successors or assigns, or any current or future equityholder, controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate, member, manager, general or limited partner or of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Specified Persons”), for any losses suffered as a result of this Agreement, any contract or agreement executed in connection herewith (including the Debt Commitment Letter), any

56



breach of this Agreement or the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, and upon payment in full of the Parent Termination Fee, none of the Specified Persons shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except, in the case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), (A) for the obligations of Greeneden U.S. Holdings II, LLC under the Confidentiality Agreement and (B) for the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub for any reimbursement or indemnification owed to the Company pursuant to Section 5.16(c) (any amounts owed pursuant to clauses (A) and (B), collectively, the “Recoverable Amounts”). For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Closing does not occur, in no event shall the Specified Persons be subject to (nor shall the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates seek to recover) monetary damages in excess of the Parent Termination Fee for any losses arising from or in connection with breaches by the Parent or Merger Sub of their respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or arising from any Action in law or equity that the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any of their Affiliates may have for any loss suffered as a result of the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated. The parties acknowledge that, until such time as this Agreement is validly terminated and Parent pays the Parent Termination Fee, the right to receive the Parent Termination Fee shall not limit or otherwise affect any such party's right to specific performance as provided in Section 8.5. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to obtain specific performance as provided in Section 8.5 and also any money damages, including all or any portion of the Parent Termination Fee.
