 Exhibit 10.3 

DORMAN PRODUCTS, INC. 

PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD PURSUANT TO THE 

DORMAN PRODUCTS, INC. 2018 STOCK OPTION AND STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN 

*  *  *  *  * 

Participant: Shall mean the person to whom this Award is made pursuant to the terms of the Plan (defined below). 

Grant Date: Shall be the date set forth under “Award Information” on the “Award Acceptance” page in Participant’s
personal web portal award administered by Equiniti Trust Company (EQ), which page is incorporated herein (the “Acceptance Page”). 

*  *  *  *  * 

THIS PERFORMANCE RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD (this “Award”) dated as of the Grant Date is entered into by and between Dorman
Products, Inc. (the “Company”) and Participant. 
 1. Grant of Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units. Effective as of
the Grant Date, pursuant to the Dorman Products, Inc. 2018 Stock Option and Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Company hereby grants to Participant the number of performance-based Restricted Stock Units set forth on the Acceptance Page
(the “PSUs”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award and the Plan. [This Award is in consideration for Participant’s acceptance of and agreement to the restrictive covenants set forth in Section 8 of
this Award.] 
 2. Dividend Equivalents. 

(a) The PSUs are granted with dividend equivalent rights. If the Company declares a cash dividend on the Shares, an amount equivalent to such
dividend will be credited to an unfunded bookkeeping account with respect to each outstanding and unvested PSU (the “Dividend Equivalent Amount”) on the record date of such dividend. 

(b) The Dividend Equivalent Amount will be credited as cash, without interest, and will not be converted to Shares. The Dividend Equivalent
Amount will be payable in cash, but only upon the applicable vesting date(s) of the underlying PSUs as determined in accordance with Section 3 below, and will be cancelled and forfeited if the underlying PSUs are cancelled or forfeited as
determined in accordance with Section 3 below. 
 3. Vesting of PSUs. 

(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3(b) and (c), the vesting of the PSUs is contingent upon (i) the Company’s achievement of
the performance target(s) set forth on Exhibit A hereto (“Performance Target(s)”) during the performance period set forth on Exhibit A hereto (“Performance Period”), and (ii) Participant’s continued employment by or
provision of services to the Company or a Subsidiaries Company through the end of the Performance Period.1 

  
 Page 1 of 7

 (b) Upon a Change in Control, 100% of the unvested portion of the PSUs (assuming the maximum
performance level) shall vest. 
 (c) If Participant’s employment or service terminates prior to the last day of the Performance Period
on account of death or Disability, a pro rata portion of Participant’s PSUs will vest at the end of the Performance Period to the extent the Performance Target(s) for the Performance Period are met. The pro rata portion will be determined by
multiplying the PSUs that would have vested at the end of the Performance Period pursuant to Section 3 and Exhibit A if Participant’s employment or service had not terminated prior to the last day of the Performance Period by a fraction,
the numerator of which is the number of Participant’s completed months of service during the Performance Period and the denominator of which is the number of months in the Performance Period. Thereafter, the number of Shares deliverable shall
be rounded up to the nearest whole Share. Any Shares deliverable under this Section 3(c) shall be delivered at the same time long-term incentive awards are normally paid and/or delivered after the end of the Performance Period. 

Except as provided above, upon the termination of employment or service of Participant prior to PSUs vesting in accordance with Exhibit A, any
unvested PSUs will immediately and automatically, without any action on the part of the Company, be forfeited and cancelled. 
 4.
Delivery of Shares; Tax Withholding; Securities Laws. 
 (a) Within thirty (30) days of a Vesting Date, the Company shall
(i) pay the Dividend Equivalent Amount (if any) and (ii) deliver Shares issuable with respect to any vested PSUs. 
 (b) All
obligations of the Company to deliver Shares shall be subject to the rights of the Company to withhold amounts required by law for any Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), federal income, state, local and other tax liabilities
(“Withholding Taxes”). By accepting this Award, Participant hereby: (i) elects, effective on the date Participant accepts this Award, to sell Shares in an amount having an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the Withholding Taxes,
and to allow the designated broker (the “Broker”) to remit the cash proceeds of such sale to the Company (a “Sell to Cover”); (ii) directs the Company to make a cash payment to satisfy the Withholding Taxes from the cash proceeds
of such sale directly to the appropriate taxing authorities; and (iii) represents and warrants that (1) on the date Participant accepts this Award he or she is not aware of any material, nonpublic information with respect to the Company or
any securities of the Company, is not subject to any legal, regulatory or contractual restriction that would prevent the Broker from conducting sales, does not have, and will not attempt to exercise, authority, influence or control over any sales of
Shares effected by the Broker pursuant to this Award, (2) is entering into the Award and this election to Sell to Cover in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule
10b5-1 (regarding trading of the 

  
 Page 2 of 7

 
Company’s securities on the basis of material nonpublic information) under the 1934 Act, and (3) it is Participant’s intent that this election to Sell to Cover comply with the
requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the 1934 Act and be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the 1934 Act. Participant further
acknowledges that by accepting this Award, Participant is adopting a 10b5-1 Plan to permit Participant to conduct a Sell to Cover sufficient to satisfy the Withholding Taxes. All obligations to pay any
Dividend Equivalent Amount will be paid net of any Withholding Taxes. 
 (c) The obligation of the Company to deliver Shares shall also be
subject to the condition that if at any time the Company shall determine in its discretion that the listing, registration or qualification of the Shares upon any securities exchange or under any state or federal law, or the consent or approval of
any governmental regulatory body is necessary or desirable as a condition of, or in connection with, the issuance of Shares, the Shares may not be issued in whole or in part unless such listing, registration, qualification, consent or approval shall
have been effected or obtained free of any conditions not acceptable to the Company. 
 5. Assignments, Transfers and Successors and
Assigns. The rights and interests of Participant under this Award may not be assigned, sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. The rights and
protections of the Company hereunder shall extend to any successors or assigns of the Company and to the Company’s parent(s) and each of its Affiliates. This Award may be assigned by the Company without Participant’s consent. 

6. Section 409A. This Award is intended to be exempt from or otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 409A. If the PSUs
constitute “deferred compensation” under Section 409A and the PSUs become vested and settled upon Participant’s termination of employment or service, payment with respect to the PSUs shall be delayed for a period of six months
after the termination if Participant is a “specified employee” as defined under Section 409A and if required pursuant to Section 409A. If payment is delayed, the PSUs shall be settled and paid within thirty (30) days after
the date that is six (6) months following Participant’s termination of employment or service. Payments with respect to the PSUs may only be paid in a manner and upon an event permitted by Section 409A, and each payment under this
Award shall be treated as a separate payment, and the right to a series of installment payments shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. In no event shall Participant, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of
payment. The Company may change or modify the terms of this Award without Participant’s consent or signature if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that such change or modification is necessary for purposes of compliance with or
exemption from the requirements of Section 409A. 
 7. Miscellaneous. 

(a) This Award shall not confer upon Participant any right to continue in the service as an employee, officer, director, consultant or advisor
of the Company or any Subsidiary Company. 
 (b) The address for Participant to which notice, demands and other communications to be given or
delivered under or by reason of the provisions hereof shall be Participant’s address as reflected in the Company’s personnel records, or such other address as Participant may provide to the Company by written notice. 

  
 Page 3 of 7

 (c) The validity, performance, construction and effect of this Award shall be governed by
the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. 
 (d) Participant hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and of the United States of America, in each case located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for any actions, suits or proceedings
arising out of or relating to this Award and the transactions contemplated hereby (“Litigation”) and agrees not to commence any Litigation except in any such court, and further agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by
U.S. registered mail to his respective address shall be effective service of process for any Litigation brought against him in any such court. Each party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any
Litigation in the courts of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or of the United States of America, in each case located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any
such court that any Litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 
 8. [Restrictive
Covenants. 
 (a) As a condition of receiving this Award, Participant hereby acknowledges and agrees that during the period in which
Participant is employed by, or providing service to, the Company and for the twelve (12) month period following Participant’s termination of employment or service for any reason (the “Restrictions Period”), Participant shall
comply with the restrictive covenants set forth herein applicable to the Company and its Affiliates (the “Company Group”). The restrictive covenants set forth herein shall supersede and replace all other
non-competition and non-solicitation restrictive covenants Participant may be subject to with the Company Group. 

(b) During the Restrictions Period, Participant shall not anywhere in the Territory for himself or herself, or through or on behalf of any
other person or entity (other than the Company), whether as an officer, director, employee, equityholder, consultant or otherwise, as applicable: 

(1) own any financial or beneficial interest in, operate, or provide services to any business, corporation, firm, person, or other entity that
Competes with the Company anywhere in the Territory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Participant shall not be prohibited from owning or acquiring securities in any publicly traded company as long as his or her ownership does not exceed 1% of
such publicly traded company’s outstanding securities and (ii) after his or her employment or service with the Company terminates, he or she shall not be prohibited from working for, advising or providing consulting services to, a company that
contains multiple divisions or businesses as long as the revenue from the businesses or divisions that Compete with the Company (individually or in the aggregate) constitute less than 10% of such company’s overall revenue in the most recently
completed fiscal year and Participant does not work for, consult with or advise, any division or business that Competes with the Company; 

  
 Page 4 of 7

 (2) encourage, induce, attempt to induce, solicit or attempt to solicit any employee to
leave his or her employment with the Company Group, or hire or attempt to hire any employee; or 
 (3) encourage, induce, attempt to induce,
solicit or attempt to solicit, any customer, distributor, vendor, marketer or sponsor of the Company Group to cease its customer, distributor, vendor, marketer or sponsor relationship with the Company Group, as the case may be, with respect to the
Business. Nothing in this Award prohibits Participant from hiring an individual who responds to a job posting made available to the general public so long as Participant does not solicit or otherwise initiate such contact during the one year
following termination of Participant’s employment or service. 
 (c) The restrictions contained in this Section are necessary for the
protection of the business and goodwill of the Company Group and are considered by Participant to be reasonable for such purpose. Participant acknowledges that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Award may cause irreparable damage to
the Company, the exact amount of which would be difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law for any such breach or threatened breach would be inadequate. Accordingly, Participant agrees that if Participant breaches or threatens to breach
any of the covenants contained in this Award, in addition to any other remedy which may be available to the Company at law or in equity, the Company shall be entitled to (i) cease or withhold any payment of Shares to Participant pursuant to
this Award, including the return of any previously delivered Shares or proceeds recognized upon any sale or other disposition of those Shares; and/or (ii) institute and prosecute proceedings in any court of competent jurisdiction for specific
performance and injunctive relief to prevent the breach or any threatened breach thereof without bond or other security or a showing that monetary damages will not provide an adequate remedy. Participant agrees to disclose in advance the existence
and terms of the restrictions and covenants contained in this Award to any employer or service recipient by whom Participant might be employed or retained during the Restriction Period. 

(d) For purposes of this Section: 

(1) “Compete” means the manufacture, distribution or sale of automotive replacement parts or general merchandise hardware, in
each case of the kind or type sold by the Company at the time of Participant’s termination or scheduled to be released by the Company within one year following Participant’s termination of employment or service. 

(2) “Territory” means any state, jurisdiction or territory in the world in which the Company is engaged in business during
the Restrictions Period.] 
 9. Incorporation of Plan Terms. This Award is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan,
including, but not limited to, those pertaining to (a) change in capitalization of the Company, (b) clawback and recoupment, and (c) the Committee’s authority to amend, interpret, and administer the Award and the Plan. Such terms
and conditions of the Plan are incorporated into and made a part of this Award by reference. In the event of any conflicts between the provisions of this Award and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. In the event, however, of
any conflict between the provisions of this Award or the Plan and the provisions of an employment, service, or change-in-control agreement between the Company and
Participant, the provisions of the latter shall prevail, to the extent consistent with the Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Award shall have the meanings set forth in the Plan unless the context clearly requires an alternative
meaning.

additional companies consistent with previously approved methodology for selecting a designated comparison group. Any determination by the Committee pursuant to this Exhibit A will be binding upon each Participant and the Company.]

			(d)        Expiration and Extension of the Offer.  The Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on the 21st business day following the commencement of the Offer (determined using Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) (such date being the “Initial Offer Expiration Date”), provided,  however, that if at the Initial Offer Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied (other than any Offer Conditions that are by their nature to be satisfied at the Acceptance Time) or waived, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, extend the Offer for a period determined by Parent of not more than ten (10) business days. Thereafter, if at any then scheduled expiration of the Offer, any Offer Condition is not satisfied or waived, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, extend the Offer on one or more occasions, in consecutive increments of up to ten (10) business days (the length of such periods to be determined by Parent); provided,  however, that Parent and Sub shall in no circumstance be required to extend the Offer to a date subsequent to the Outside Date. In addition, (x) Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, extend the Offer on one or more occasions for the minimum period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the staff thereof or NASDAQ Global Market (“NASDAQ”) or the staff thereof applicable to the Offer and (y) Sub may, and Parent may cause Sub to, make available a “subsequent offering period” in accordance with Exchange Act Rule 14d-11.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)        Payment.  On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 3 business days) after the applicable expiration date of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 1.01(d)) and in any event in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act. The payment for shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to and subject to the conditions of the Offer is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing,” and the date on which the Offer Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Offer Closing Date.”
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)         Termination of the Offer.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, then Sub shall promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) business day of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer.

			thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall include, as exhibits, an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal, a summary advertisement and other ancillary Offer documents pursuant to which the Offer will be made (such Schedule TO and the documents attached as exhibits thereto, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and promptly thereafter shall mail the Offer Documents to the holders of the Company Common Stock as required by applicable Law. Parent and Sub shall timely cause a notice that satisfies the requirements of Section 3-106.1(e)(1) of the MGCL (such notice, the “Maryland Short Form Notice”) to be given to the holders of the Company Common Stock with the Offer Documents, unless, prior to the date the Offer is first commenced, the Maryland Short Form Notice has been given to the holders of the Company Common Stock who, except for the application of Section 3-106.1 of the MGCL, would be entitled to vote on the Merger on the date such notice is given or on a record date fixed for that purpose that is not more than ten (10) days before the date that notice is given. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Sub all information concerning the Company that may be required by applicable securities laws or reasonably requested by Parent or Sub for inclusion in the Offer Documents. The Company hereby consents to the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Board Actions and the Recommendation of the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”). Each of Parent, Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable federal securities Laws.

			Prior to the filing of the Offer Documents (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the dissemination thereof to the holders of Company Common Stock, or responding to any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect thereto, Parent and Sub shall provide the Company a reasonable opportunity to review and to propose comments on such document or response.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(h)        Funds.  Subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Offer Conditions, Sub shall provide, and Parent shall cause Sub to provide, to a paying agent (which shall be a reputable bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company) selected by Sub (the “Paying Agent”) on a timely basis the funds necessary to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock that Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. In connection therewith and with Section 3.03, Sub shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Sub or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

			action necessary to cause the individuals so designated by Parent to be directors on the Company Board to constitute substantially the same percentage (rounding up where appropriate) as is on the Company Board on each committee of the Company Board to the fullest extent permitted by all applicable Law and the rules of NASDAQ, and the Company shall take all action requested by Parent necessary to effect any such election.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act.  If requested by Parent, the Company shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder as is necessary to enable Parent’s designees to be elected or appointed to the Company Board (provided that Parent and Sub shall have provided to the Company on a timely basis all information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 thereunder with respect to such designees and with respect to Parent’s officers, directors and Affiliates, and if not then as soon as practicable thereafter).
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Required Approvals of Independent Directors.  Following the election or appointment of Parent’s designees pursuant to Section 1.03(a) and prior to the Effective Time, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Independent Directors then in office shall be required for the Company to consent (i) to amend or terminate this Agreement, (ii) to waive or elect to enforce any of the Company’s rights or remedies under this Agreement, (iii) to extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Sub, or(iv) to any other matter under this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)        Effects on Continued Listing.  After the Acceptance Time, the Company shall, upon Parent’s request, take all action reasonably necessary to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” as defined by Rule 5615(c)(1) of the NASDAQ Stock Market Rules.

Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is directly owned by Sub at such time (including all shares of Company Common Stock accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, whether or not such shares are registered in the name of Sub or any of its Affiliates as of the Effective Time) or by any Subsidiary of the Company, shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Conversion of Company Common Stock.  Each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled in accordance with Section 3.01(b)) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate (or evidence of shares in book-entry form) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)        Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights or rights of an objecting stockholder shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

			9

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			 
		

		
			provided, that (i) nothing in this Section 3.02 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is otherwise prohibited by the terms of this Agreement and (ii) share repurchases and grants of equity compensation solely to the extent expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, shall not result in any adjustment to the Offer Price.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 3.03     Exchange Fund.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Paying Agent.  At or prior to the Effective Time, Sub shall deposit, and Parent shall cause Sub to deposit, with the Paying Agent cash in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration as required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement (such cash being hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Certificate Exchange Procedures.  As promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Sub to, cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of a Certificate (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent and which shall otherwise be in customary form (including customary provisions with respect to delivery of an “agent’s message” with respect to shares held in book-entry form)), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration.  Each holder of record of a Certificate shall, upon surrender to the Paying Agent of such Certificate, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash which the number of shares of Company Common Stock previously represented by such Certificate shall have been converted into the right to receive pursuant to Section 3.01(c), and the Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled as promptly as reasonably practicable. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment of the Merger Consideration may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration which the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate pursuant to this Article III. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock.  All cash paid upon the surrender of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificates. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, 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 of Company Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation for transfer, it shall be canceled against delivery of cash to the holder thereof as provided in this Article III.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)        Termination of the Exchange Fund.  Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates on the date that is six (6) months after the date on which the Effective Time occurs shall be delivered to the Surviving Corporation (or its designee), upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Corporation for, and the Surviving Corporation shall remain liable for, payment of their claims for the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article III.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)        No Liability.  None of Parent, Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official in compliance with any applicable state, federal or other abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered prior to the date on which the related Merger Consideration would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such Merger Consideration shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, immediately prior to such time become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)         Investment of Exchange Fund.  The Paying Agent shall invest the cash in the Exchange Fund as directed by Sub; provided,  however, that such investments shall be in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, in commercial paper obligations rated A 1 or P 1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding five billion dollars ($5,000,000,000) (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available). Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid solely to the Surviving Corporation (or its designee). Nothing contained herein and no investment losses resulting from investment of the Exchange Fund shall diminish the rights of any holder of Certificates to receive the Merger Consideration or any holder of a Company Stock Option to receive the holder’s Option Amount, in each case as provided herein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(g)        Lost Certificates.  If 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 Sub, the providing of an indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Paying Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(h)        Withholding Rights.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Sub, the Surviving Corporation (and, if any withholding applicable to payments pursuant to Section 3.04 is made through a Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation, any such Subsidiary) and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration

			otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of shares of Company Common Stock (or any holder of a Company Stock Option) such amounts as Sub, the Surviving Corporation (and, if any withholding applicable to payments pursuant to Section 3.04 is made through a Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation, any such Subsidiary) or the Paying Agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority by Sub, the Surviving Corporation (and, if any withholding applicable to payments pursuant to Section 3.04 is made through a Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation, any such Subsidiary) or the Paying Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the shares of Company Common Stock or the holder of the Company Stock Option, as the case may be, in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 3.04     Company Stock Options. Prior to the expiration of the Offer, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company Incentive Plan) shall adopt such resolutions and take such other actions as may be required to provide that, at the Effective Time, each unexercised Company Stock Option, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled, with the holder thereof becoming entitled to receive, on the date which the Effective Time occurs, an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Offer Price over (B) the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option (collectively, all amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.04, the “Option Amounts”). The payment of all Option Amounts hereunder shall be subject to appropriate withholding for Taxes in accordance with Section 3.03(h). As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, but in any event no later than fifteen (15) calendar days following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall make by a payroll payment through the Surviving Corporation’s payroll provider, subject to Section 3.03(h), the Option Amounts to the applicable holders thereof.

			its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite corporate or other entity power and authority to carry on its business as presently conducted, except (other than with respect to the Company’s due organization and valid existence) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to do business and is in good standing (where such concept is recognized under applicable Law) in each jurisdiction where the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, other than where the failure to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. True and complete copies of the charter of the Company (the “Company Charter”) and the Bylaws of the Company (the “Company Bylaws”), in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, are included in the Filed SEC Documents.

Except for its interests in its Subsidiaries, the Company does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock of, or other equity interests in, any corporation, partnership, joint venture, association or other entity.

			issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding. Section 4.03(a) of the Company Disclosure Letter sets forth each Company Stock Option outstanding as of the Measurement Time, including (to the extent applicable) the Company Incentive Plan under which such Company Stock Option was granted, and the price at which such Company Stock Option may be exercised and whether such Company Stock Option is intended to be an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code. Since the Measurement Time, (x) there have been no issuances by the Company of shares of capital stock or other voting securities of or equity interests in the Company (including Company Stock Options), other than issuances of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to Company Stock Options outstanding as of the Measurement Time, and (y) there have been no issuances by the Company of options, warrants, rights, convertible or exchangeable securities, stock-based performance units or other rights to acquire shares of capital stock of the Company or other rights that give the holder thereof any economic interest of a nature accruing to the holders of Company Common Stock.

As of their respective effective dates (in the case of SEC Documents that are registration statements filed pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act) and as of their respective dates of filing (in the case of all other SEC Documents), the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable thereto, and except to the extent amended or superseded by a subsequent filing with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement, as of such respective dates, none of the SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

			(e)        Prohibited Activities.  Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) (A) withhold, withdraw or rescind (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or rescind (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent), the Recommendation or the findings or conclusions of the Company Board, (B) approve or recommend the adoption of, or publicly propose to approve, declare the advisability of or recommend the adoption of, any Takeover Proposal or (C) publicly propose or announce an intention to take any of the foregoing actions (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) cause or permit 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 or other agreement related to any Takeover Proposal, other than any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement referred to in Section 6.02(c) (an “Acquisition Agreement”).

			(g)        Superior Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to the consummation of the Offer if, (i) in response to a bona fide written Takeover Proposal made after the date of this Agreement and not withdrawn that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.02, the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisors) that such Takeover Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and (ii) the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (A) subject to compliance with Section 6.02(h), the Company Board may make an Adverse Recommendation Change or (B) the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f) in order to enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided,  however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to

			Section 9.01(f) unless the Company (x) has complied with its obligations under Section 6.02(h),
		

		
			(y)  pays, or causes to be paid, to Parent the Termination Amount payable pursuant to
		

		
			Section 9.03(b) prior to or concurrently with such termination and (z) immediately following or concurrently with such termination, enters into a definitive Acquisition Agreement that documents the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(h)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be entitled to make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 6.02(f) or Section 6.02(g) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f) unless (x) the Company shall have provided to Parent four (4) business days’ prior written notice (the “Match Right Notice”), advising Parent that the Company intends to take such action (and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons for such action and the
		

		
			material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal or details of such Intervening Event, as applicable), and (y):
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)         during such four (4) business day period, if requested by Parent, the Company and its Representatives shall have engaged in good faith negotiations with Parent regarding changes to the terms of this Agreement intended by Parent so that an Adverse Recommendation Change would no longer be necessary or to cause such Takeover Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, as applicable; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)        the Company Board shall have considered any adjustments to this Agreement (including a change to the price terms hereof) and any other agreements that may be proposed in writing by Parent (the “Proposed Changed Terms”) no later than 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the fourth (4th) business day of such four (4) business day period and shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors) that, after giving effect to such Proposed Changed Terms, the failure to make the Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f), as applicable, would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For the avoidance of doubt, any (1) material changes in the changes, effects, events, occurrences or facts relating to an Intervening Event, (2) material revisions to the terms of a Superior Proposal or (3) material revisions to a Takeover Proposal that the Company Board had determined no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal shall constitute a new Intervening Event or Takeover Proposal, as applicable, and shall in each case require the Company to deliver to Parent a new Match Right Notice; provided that the time periods set forth in this Section 6.02(h) with respect to the new Match Right Notice shall be reduced to three (3) business days.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)         Standstills; Confidentiality Agreements.  Notwithstanding any provision of Section 6.02(e) to the contrary, the Company shall not grant any waiver or release under, or fail to enforce, any standstill or similar agreement; provided,  however, at any time prior to the Offer Closing, the Company may grant a waiver or release under any standstill agreement or an agreement containing a standstill provision if the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. The Company shall provide written notice to Parent of waiver or release of any standstill by the

The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Representatives to, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits the Company from providing to Parent the information specifically required to be provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.02.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(j)         Communications With Stockholders.  Nothing contained in this Section 6.02 shall prohibit the Company from (i) complying with Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to its stockholders if, in the good faith determination of the Company Board, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, failure to so disclose would be inconsistent with its obligations under applicable Laws or
		

		
			(iii)  making any “stop-look-and-listen” communication to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Section 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communications to the stockholders of the Company) in which the Company indicates that it has not changed the Recommendation; provided,  however, that clause (ii) shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or take any of the actions referred to in Section 6.02(e),  Section 6.02(f) or Section 6.02(g) except, in each case, in accordance with Section 6.02(e),  Section 6.02(f) or Section 6.02(g), respectively.

			Section 7.05    Indemnification, Exculpation and Insurance.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Prior to the Merger Closing, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to purchase a “tail” or “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy and each person who becomes covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy prior to the consummation of the Merger on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such policy in effect on the date of this Agreement for the six (6) year period following the Merger Closing and at a price not to exceed 250% of the amount per annum the Company paid in its last full fiscal year prior to the date of this Agreement, which the Company represents and warrants has been disclosed to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement (the “Current Premium”).  If the Company or Parent obtains prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies prior to the Effective Time in accordance with this Section 7.05(a), the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder. If the Company fails to purchase such “tail” or “runoff” policy prior to the Merger Closing, then either (i) Parent may purchase such “tail” or “runoff” policy on behalf of the Company or the Surviving Corporation or (ii) the Surviving Corporation shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, maintain a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy in respect of acts or ommisions occuring prior to the Effective Time covering each such person currently covered by the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable than those of such policy in effect as of the date of this Agreement for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time; provided further, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 7.05(a)(ii), neither Parent nor the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 250% of the Current Premium and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 250% of the Current Premium, then Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that, in Parent or the Surviving Corporation’s good faith judgment, provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 250% of the Current Premium.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to (i) each indemnification agreement in effect between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any individual who at the Effective Time is, or at any time prior to the Effective Time was, a director or officer of the Company or of a Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Indemnified Party”) made available to Parent; and (ii) any indemnification provision and any exculpation provision set forth in the charter or bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law. From the Effective Time through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, the charter and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and Parent shall cause the charter and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of each Indemnified Party than are set forth in the charter and bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement.

			(d)        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if an Indemnified Party is or has been a party to or is or has been otherwise involved (including as a witness) in any Litigation (whether arising before, at or after the Effective Time) on or prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the provisions of the last sentence of Section 7.05(b) shall continue in effect with respect to such Indemnified Party until the final disposition of such Litigation.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)        The provisions of this Section 7.05 are (i) intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representatives and (ii) in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such individual may have under the articles of organization or bylaws, by Contract or otherwise.

			Section 10.03 Interpretation.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, Annex or Exhibit, such reference shall be to an Article or a Section of, or an Annex or Exhibit to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        The table of contents, headings and index of defined terms contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect of the word “shall.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” The word “or” when used in this Agreement is not exclusive.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)        The phrase “made available,” when used in reference to anything made available to Parent, Sub or their Representatives shall be deemed to mean provided to Parent, Sub or their Representatives or uploaded to and made available to Parent, Sub and their Representatives in the on-line data room hosted on behalf of the Company in the on-line workspace captioned “Project Papyrus” and accessible without limitation to Parent and Sub no later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on March 11, 2019.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(e)        For purposes of Section 2.02, references to “business day” shall mean any day except a Saturday, a Sunday or any other day on which commercial banks are required or authorized to close in the City of New York, United States or the City of London, United Kingdom.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(f)        The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the Party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(g)        References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			66

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			(h)        All capitalized terms not defined in the Company Disclosure Letter shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Agreement. Any information set forth in one section or subsection of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to apply to and qualify the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number and each other Section or subsection of this Agreement (other than Section 4.01,  Section 4.03,  Section 4.04, Section 4.21 Section 4.22,  Section 4.23,  Section 4.24 and Section 4.25, which matters shall only be disclosed by specific disclosure in the respective corresponding section of the Company Disclosure Letter) to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such information is relevant to such other Section or subsection. No disclosure in the Company Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation of any contract or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(i)         The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(j)         Any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(k)        Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of the Company to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of the Company to cause such Subsidiary to take such action and, after the Effective Time, on the part of Parent and the Surviving Corporation to cause such Subsidiary to take such action. Whenever this Agreement requires Sub to take any action, such requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent to cause Sub to take such action.

			Section 11.04 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Support Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.05 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for (a) the provisions of Section 7.05, (b) the rights, at and after the Effective Time, of the former holders of shares of Company Common Stock to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (c) the right, at the end and after the Effective Time, of holders of the Company Stock Options to receive the payments contemplated by Section 3.04, neither this Agreement nor any other agreement contemplated hereby are intended to or shall confer upon any person other than the Parties hereto and thereto any legal or equitable rights or remedies. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with
		

		
			Section 9.05 without notice or liability to any other person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.06 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any

			assignment without such consent shall be null and void. No assignment by any Party shall relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.07 GOVERNING LAW. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND ARE MANDATORILY APPLICABLE TO THE OFFER OR THE MERGER (INCLUDING THE EXERCISE OF THE FIDUCIARY DUTIES OF THE COMPANY BOARD), IN WHICH CASE MARYLAND LAW SHALL GOVERN, THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY LITIGATION (WHETHER AT LAW, IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT) RELATING TO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF OR THEREOF, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.08 Jurisdiction; Service of Process.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any Litigation directly or indirectly based upon, relating to arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect to such action or proceeding shall be brought in, and may be heard and determined, exclusively in such state or federal courts. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in, and any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any action or proceeding so brought. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such Party at the addresses set forth in Section 11.03. Nothing in this Section 11.08 shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.09  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, RELATING TO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF OR
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			70

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			THEREOF. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER,
		

		
			(II)  EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.10 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor and therefore fully intend for specific performance to be an available remedy for breaches of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 11.08, without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. The Parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to object to a remedy of specific performance on the basis that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. Each Party further acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 11.10 are an integral part of the Merger, the Offer and the other transactions contemplated hereby and that, without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 11.10, and each Party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.11 Non-Recourse. Each Party agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates and Representatives, that all proceedings, claims, obligations, liabilities or causes of action (whether in Contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate to: (A) this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein (other than the Support Agreement) or the transactions contemplated hereunder, (B) the negotiation, execution or performance this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein (other than the Support Agreement) (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement or such other agreement (other than the Support Agreement)), (C) any breach or violation of this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein (other than the Support Agreement) and (D) any failure of the transactions contemplated hereunder or any other agreement referenced herein (other than the Support Agreement) to be consummated, in each case, may be made only against (and are those solely of) the persons that are expressly identified herein as the Parties to this Agreement and, in accordance with, and subject to the

			terms and conditions of this Agreement.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein or otherwise to the contrary, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its respective Affiliates and Representatives, that no recourse under this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein (other than the Support Agreement) or in connection with any transactions contemplated hereby shall be sought or had against any other person and no other person shall have any liabilities or obligations (whether in Contract or in tort, in Law or in equity or otherwise, or granted by statute or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil or any other theory or doctrine, including alter ego or otherwise) for any claims, causes of action, obligations or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with or related to the items in the immediately preceding clauses (A) through (D), it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability or losses whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the aforementioned, as such, arising under, out of, in connection with or related to the items in the immediately preceding clauses (A) through (D), in each case, except for claims that any Party may assert against another Party solely in accordance with, and pursuant to the terms and conditions of, this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.11, nothing in this Section 11.11 shall in any way limit Parent’s or Sub’s rights under the Support Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.12 Guarantee.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Parent Holdco irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual performance of the obligations of Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation and their permitted assigns hereunder (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) subject to the conditions hereunder. If, for any reason whatsoever, Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any of their permitted assigns shall fail or be unable to duly, punctually and fully pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations, Parent Holdco will forthwith pay or perform, or cause to be paid or performed, the Guaranteed Obligations. Parent Holdco hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing objections with a court, any right to require proceeding first against Parent, Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any such permitted assign, any right to require the prior disposition of the assets of Parent, Sub or any such permitted assign to meet their respective obligations, notice, protest and all demands whatsoever. This is a guarantee of payment and performance and not collectability.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Parent Holdco is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent applicable) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. Parent Holdco has all requisite corporate power and authority and has taken all corporate action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly approved, executed and delivered by Parent Holdco and is a valid and binding agreement of Parent Holdco, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally or by principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity). Parent Holdco owns directly one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Parent.
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			72

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			(c)        Parent Holdco shall not transfer or assign, in whole or in part, any of its obligations under this Section 11.12.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.13 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as none of the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in a mutually acceptable manner.
		

		
			 
		

		
			Section 11.14 Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

			(i)         there shall be any Restraint in effect enjoining or otherwise preventing or prohibiting the making of the Offer or the consummation of the Merger or the Offer;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(ii)        the consummation of the Offer is unlawful under any Non-U.S. Merger Control Law;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(iii)      (A) the representation and warranty of the Company set forth in Section 4.07(a) shall not be true and correct in all respects as of the date of this Agreement, (B) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections
		

		
			4.04 and 4.19 and the first sentence of Section 4.10(a) shall not be true and correct in all material respects as of the consummation of the Offer, as if made at such time, except to the extent such representation or warranty expressly relates to a specific date (in which case on and as of such specific date), (C) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 4.03 shall not be true and correct except for de minimis inaccuracies as of the consummation of the Offer, as if made at such time, except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to a specific date (in which case on and as of such specific date), and (D) each of the other representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall not be true and correct as of the consummation of the Offer, as if made at such time, except to the extent any such representation or warranty expressly relates to a specific date (in which case on and as of such specific date), other than in the case of clause (D) for such failures to be true and correct that (alone or in the aggregate with all such other failures of representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement to be true and correct) have not had a Material Adverse Effect (it being understood that for this purpose all references to the term “Material Adverse Effect” and other qualifications based on the word “material,” set forth in any such representations and warranties shall be disregarded);
		

		
			 
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			Annex I-1

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			 
		

		
			(iv)       the Company shall have failed to perform or comply in all material respects with its obligations required to be performed or complied with by it under this Agreement;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(v)        since the date of this Agreement, there shall have occurred any change, event or occurrence that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
		

		
			 
		

		
			(vi)       this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its
		

		
			terms; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			(vii)      the Company shall have failed to deliver to Parent a certificate
		

		
			executed on behalf of the Company by the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Company certifying that none of the conditions set forth in clauses (c)(iii), (c)(iv) and (c)(v) above shall have occurred and be continuing as of the expiration of the Offer.
		

		
			 
		

		
			For purposes of determining whether the Minimum Tender Condition has been satisfied, Parent and Sub shall exclude for purposes of its determination thereof shares tendered in the Offer pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been received.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the rights and obligations of Parent and Sub to extend, terminate or modify the Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Sub and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC or NASDAQ, may be waived by Parent and Sub in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole discretion (other than the Minimum Tender Condition). The failure by Parent or Sub at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

			TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT
		

		
			 
		

		
			This TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 12, 2019, is entered into by and among Smith & Nephew Consolidated, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”); Papyrus Acquisition Corp., a Maryland corporation and an indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Sub”); and the undersigned stockholders of Osiris Therapeutics, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) set forth on Schedule A hereto (each, a “Stockholder”). All terms used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Stockholder is the record or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth opposite the Stockholder’s name on Schedule A (all such shares of Company Common Stock set forth on Schedule A next to the Stockholder’s name, together with any shares of Company Common Stock that are hereafter issued to or that beneficial ownership of is otherwise directly or indirectly acquired by the Stockholder prior to the termination of this Agreement, including for the avoidance of doubt any shares of Company Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder upon the conversion of any securities convertible into shares of Company Common Stock after the date hereof, being referred to herein as “Subject Shares”);
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, Parent, Sub, the Company and Smith & Nephew plc, an English public limited liability company (“Parent Holdco”) are entering into the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) Sub will commence a tender offer to purchase all the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and, (b) subject to the occurrence of the Offer Closing, Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; and
		

		
			 
		

		
			WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and consideration for Parent and Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE I
		

		
			AGREEMENT TO TENDER AND VOTE
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.1        Agreement to Tender.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes and agrees to tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer (and not withdraw) all of its Subject Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Share Liens (as defined below) except for Permitted Share Liens (as defined
		

		
			 
		

		
			 
		

		
			

		 

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			 
		

		
			below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after the date the Offer is commenced (or in the case of any shares of Company Common Stock directly or indirectly acquired subsequent to such second (2nd) Business Day, no later than the earlier of (x) two (2) Business Days after such acquisition and (y) the expiration of the Offer), each Stockholder shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the depositary designated in the Offer pursuant to the terms of the Offer (i) a letter of transmittal with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (ii) written instructions to such Stockholder’s broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee that such Subject Shares be tendered, including a reference to this Agreement, and requesting delivery of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the depository for the Offer may reasonably request) and (iii) all other documents or instruments required to be delivered by other stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Offer. Each Stockholder undertakes and agrees that, once any of its Subject Shares are tendered, such tender is irrevocable and unconditional and such Stockholder will not withdraw and will cause not to be withdrawn such Subject Shares from the Offer unless and until the Merger Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with its terms.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Sub, or the Merger Agreement is validly terminated prior to the Acceptance Time in accordance with its terms, Sub shall promptly return and shall cause the depository for the Offer to promptly return all tendered shares of Company Common Stock to the registered holders of such tendered shares of Company Common Stock.
		

		
			 
		

		
			1.2        Voting of Subject Shares. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes and agrees that, during the time this Agreement is in effect, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that its Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum, and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of its Subject Shares (i) in favor of any proposal recommended by the Company Board that is intended to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of such Stockholder contained in this Agreement, or
		

		
			(B) result in any of the Offer Conditions not being satisfied on or before the Outside Date,
		

		
			(iii) against any change in the Company Board, (iv) against any Takeover Proposal (or any proposal relating to or intended to facilitate a Takeover Proposal), (v) against (x) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company (other than the Offer or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement), (y) a sale, lease, license or transfer of a material amount of assets (including, for the avoidance of doubt, capital stock of Subsidiaries of the Company) of the Company or any reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation of the Company or (z) any change in the present authorized capitalization of the Company or any amendment or other change to the

			Company Charter, the Company Bylaws or the comparable organizational documents of any of the Subsidiaries of the Company in effect as of the date of this Agreement, and (vi) against any other proposed action, agreement or transaction involving the Company that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, materially delay, materially postpone, materially adversely affect or prevent the consummation of the Offer or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote its Subject Shares in such Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally.
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE II

			2.2        Non-Contravention.

			(ii) (x) any Contract to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder or any of its Subject Shares are bound or (y) any Law or any Judgment, in each case applicable to such Stockholder or by which any of its Subject Shares are bound, or (b) result (or, with the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise, would result) in the creation or imposition of any Share Lien (as defined below) of any kind on any asset of such Stockholder (other than one created by Parent or Sub or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement), other than, in the case of clause (a)(ii) or
		

		
			(b) above, any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults, rights, losses or Liens that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair the

			Stockholder’s properties or assets (including such Stockholder’s Subject Shares) that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise impair such Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement. There is no Judgment outstanding against Parent or Sub that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to prevent, delay or impair the consummation by such Stockholder of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise impair such Stockholder’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			2.7        Brokers. Neither such Stockholder nor any of its employees, officers or directors has employed any broker, finder or financial or similar advisor or incurred any liability for any financial advisor’s or broker’s fees, commissions or finder’s fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

			5.2        Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties to this Agreement.

			ARTICLE VI
		

		
			GENERAL PROVISIONS
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.1        Capacity as Stockholder. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing herein shall in any way restrict a director of the Company in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director of the Company or prevent any director of the Company from taking, or not taking, any action in his or her capacity as a director of the Company.

			Section 11.03 of the Merger Agreement and (ii) if to the Stockholder, to the Stockholder’s address or email address set forth on such Stockholder’s signature page hereto, or to such other address or email address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose by notice to each other party hereto.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.6        Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with Schedule A, and the other documents and certificates delivered pursuant to this Agreement, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.7        No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer upon any person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable rights or remedies.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.8        Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties to this Agreement, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that each of Parent and Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to one or more direct or indirect Affiliates of Parent. No assignment by any party to this Agreement shall relieve such party of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the immediately preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.9        Governing Law. EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MARYLAND ARE MANDATORILY APPLICABLE TO THE MERGER (INCLUDING THE EXERCISE OF THE FIDUCIARY DUTIES OF THE COMPANY BOARD), IN WHICH CASE MARYLAND LAW SHALL GOVERN, THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY LITIGATION (WHETHER AT LAW, IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT) THAT MAY BE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, RELATING TO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF OR THEREOF, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, REGARDLESS OF THE LAWS THAT MIGHT OTHERWISE GOVERN UNDER APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.10      Jurisdiction; Service of Process.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(a)        Each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any Litigation directly or indirectly based upon, relating to arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof or thereof, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes and agrees that all claims in respect to such action or proceeding shall be brought in, and may be heard and determined, exclusively in such state or federal courts. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue in, and any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			9

		

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			action or proceeding so brought. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        Each of the Parties irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any other action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party at the addresses set forth (i) in the case of Parent or Sub, to the address or email address set forth in Section 11.03 of the Merger Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Stockholder, to the Stockholder’s address or email address set forth on such
		

		
			Stockholder’s signature page hereto. Nothing in this Section 6.10(b) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.11      Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BASED UPON, RELATING TO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION OR PERFORMANCE HEREOF OR THEREOF. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATION OF THIS WAIVER, (III) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.12      Specific Enforcement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor and therefore fully intend for specific performance to be an available remedy for breaches of this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1, each party to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 6.10, without proof of actual damages, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to object to a remedy of specific performance on the basis that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach. Each party to this Agreement further acknowledges and agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 6.12 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
		

		
			
		

		
			

		 

		

			10

		

		

			 

		

		

			 

		

		

		
			that, without these agreements, none of the parties to this Agreement would have entered into this Agreement. Each party to this Agreement further agrees that no other party to this Agreement or any other person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 6.12, and each Party hereto irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.13      Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as none of the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner adverse to any party to this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties to this Agreement shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in a mutually acceptable manner.
		

		
			 
		

		
			6.14      Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. This Agreement or any counterpart may be executed and delivered by facsimile copies or delivered by electronic communications by portable document format (.pdf), each of which shall be deemed an original.

			SEVENTH: The Corporation has authority to issue 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Common Stock”). The aggregate par value of all authorized shares of stock having par value is $10,000.00. The Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) may reclassify any unissued shares of Common Stock from time to time into one or more classes or series of stock. If shares of one class or series of stock are classified or reclassified into shares of another class or series of stock pursuant to this Article SEVENTH, the number of authorized shares of the former class or series shall be automatically decreased and the number of shares of the latter class or series shall be automatically increased, in each case by the number of shares so classified or reclassified, so that the aggregate number of shares of stock of all classes that the Corporation has authority to issue shall not be more than the total number of shares of stock set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph. The Board of Directors, with the approval of a majority of the entire Board of Directors and without any action by the stockholders of the Corporation, may amend the Charter from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Corporation has authority to issue.

			EIGHTH: The business and affairs of  the  Corporation  shall  be  managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. The current number of directors of the Corporation is two, which number may be increased or decreased only by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Bylaws, but shall never be less than the minimum number required by the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”). The names of each of the directors who shall serve until the first annual meeting of stockholders and until his successor is duly elected and qualifies are:
		

		
			 
		

		
			Michael Zagger

			The Board of Directors from time to time may increase or decrease the number of directors and may fill any vacancy, whether resulting from an increase in the number of directors or otherwise, on the Board of Directors in the manner provided in the Bylaws.
		

		
			 
		

		
			NINTH:           (a)        The Corporation reserves the right to make any amendment of the Charter, now or hereafter authorized by law, including any amendment which alters the contract rights, as expressly set forth in the Charter, of any shares of outstanding stock.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(b)        The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance from time to time of shares of stock of the Corporation of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, or securities or rights convertible into shares of its stock of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, for such consideration as the Board of Directors may deem advisable (or without consideration in the case of a stock split or stock dividend), subject to such restrictions or limitations, if any, as may be set forth in the MGCL, the Charter or the Bylaws.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(c)        Notwithstanding any provision of law requiring any action to be taken or approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitled to cast a greater number of votes, any such action shall be effective and valid if declared advisable by the Board of Directors and taken or approved by the affirmative vote of holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.
		

		
			 
		

		
			(d)        The determination as to any of the following matters, made by or pursuant to the direction of the Board of Directors, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Corporation and every holder of shares of its stock: the amount of the net income of the Corporation for any period and the amount of assets at any time legally available for the payment of dividends, acquisition of its stock or the payment of other distributions on its stock; the amount of paid-in surplus, net assets, other surplus, cash flow, funds from operations, adjusted funds from operations, net profit, net assets in excess of capital, undivided profits or excess of profits over losses on sales of assets; the amount, purpose, time of creation, increase or decrease, alteration

			or cancellation of any reserves or charges and the propriety thereof (whether or not any obligation or liability for which such reserves or charges shall have been created shall have been set aside, paid or discharged); any interpretation or resolution of any ambiguity with respect to any provision of the Charter (including any of the terms, preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers or rights, restrictions, limitations as to dividends or other distributions, qualifications or terms or conditions of redemption of any shares of any class or series of stock of the Corporation) or of the Bylaws; the number or value of shares of stock of any class or series of the Corporation; the fair value, or any sale, bid or asked price to be applied in determining the fair value, of any asset owned or held by the Corporation or of any shares of stock of the Corporation; any matter relating to the acquisition, holding and disposition of any assets by the Corporation; the compensation of directors, officers, employees or agents of the Corporation; or any other matter relating to the business and affairs of the Corporation or required or permitted by applicable law, the Charter or Bylaws or otherwise to be determined by the Board of Directors.
