Exhibit 10.3

 

CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the ____ day of ________, 2010 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Sunshine Financial, Inc. (“Holding Company”), a Maryland corporation, and _____________ (the “Executive”).

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, Holding Company owns 100% of the outstanding stock of Sunshine Savings Bank (the “Bank”), a federally chartered savings bank;

 

WHEREAS, Executive is the _______________________ of the Bank and the Holding Company, and as such is a key officer whose continued dedication, availability, advice and counsel to the Bank is deemed important to the Boards of Directors of Holding Company and the Bank and to their respective stockholders;

 

WHEREAS, Holding Company and the Bank wish to retain the services of Executive free from any distractions or conflicts that could arise as a result of a change in control of Holding Company or the Bank.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, to assure the Bank and Holding Company of Executive’s continued dedication, the availability of his advice and counsel to the Board of Directors of the Bank and Holding Company free of any distractions resulting from a change of control, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy whereof each party hereby acknowledges, Holding Company and Executive hereby agree as follows:

 

1.           TERM OF AGREEMENT: This Agreement shall remain in effect until cancelled by either party hereto, upon not less than twenty-four (24) months prior written notice to the other party. The execution of this Agreement shall automatically cancel and void any severance agreement which otherwise might be in effect between Executive and Bank.

 

2.           CHANGE OF CONTROL: If there is a Change of Control of the Bank or of Holding Company during the term of this Agreement, Executive shall be entitled to a severance payment in the event the Executive suffers an Involuntary Termination within six (6) months preceding or twenty-four (24) months after the Change in Control, unless such termination is for Cause. The amount of such severance payment shall equal twenty-four (24) months of Executive’s then current salary.

 

3.           LIMITATION OF BENEFITS: It is the intention of the parties that no payment be made or benefit provided to the Executive that would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and any regulations thereunder, thereby resulting in a loss of an income tax deduction by Holding Company or the imposition of an excise tax on the Executive under Section 4999 of the Code. If the independent accountants serving as auditors for Holding Company immediately prior to the date of a Change of Control determine that some or all of the payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement, when combined with any other payments or benefits provided to the Executive on a Change of Control by Holding Company, the Bank and any affiliate of Holding Company or the Bank required to be aggregated with Holding Company or the Bank under Section 280G of the Code, would constitute nondeductible excess parachute payments by Holding Company under Section 280G of the Code, then the payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement will be reduced to one dollar less than the maximum amount which may be paid or provided without causing any such payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement or otherwise provided on a Change of Control to be nondeductible. The determination made as to the reduction of benefits or payments required hereunder by the independent accountants shall be binding on the parties. The Executive shall have the right to designate within a reasonable period which payments or benefits scheduled under this Agreement will be reduced; provided, however, that if no direction is received from the Executive, Holding Company shall implement the reductions under this Agreement in its discretion.

 

  

  

  

 

4.           LITIGATION - OBLIGATIONS - SUCCESSORS:

 

(a)         If litigation shall be brought or arbitration commenced to challenge, enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, and such litigation or arbitration does not end with judgment in favor of Holding Company, Holding Company hereby agrees to indemnify the Executive for his reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements incurred in such litigation or arbitration.

 

(b)         Holding Company’s obligation to pay the Executive the compensation and benefits and to make the arrangements provided herein shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstances, including, without limitation, any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which Holding Company may have against him or anyone else. All amounts payable by Holding Company hereunder shall be paid without notice or demand. The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any payments made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise, are subject to and conditioned upon compliance with 12 U.S.C. § 1828(k) and FDIC regulation 12 C.F.R. Part 359, Golden Parachute and Indemnification Payments. 
 

(c)         Holding Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of Holding Company, by agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Executive, to expressly assume and agree to perform this Agreement in its entirety. Failure of Holding Company to obtain such agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle the Executive to the compensation described in Section 2. As used in this Agreement, “Holding Company” shall mean Sunshine Financial, Inc and any successor to its business and/or assets as aforesaid which executes and delivers the agreement provided for in this Section 4 or which otherwise becomes bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement by operation of law.

 THE OFFER 
 SECTION 2.01. The Offer. 

(a) If this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with Article VIII, as soon as practicable after the public announcement of the
execution of this Agreement, but in any event within 15 business days after the date hereof, Buyer shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer. The consummation of the Offer shall be subject only to
(i) the condition that there shall be validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer, prior to the expiration of the Offer, and not withdrawn, at least a number of Company Shares that, together with the Company Shares beneficially
owned by Buyer, represents 80% of the Company Shares outstanding (the “Minimum Condition”); and (ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex I hereto (together with the Minimum Condition, the “Offer
Conditions”). Buyer expressly reserves the right to waive any Offer Conditions and to make any change in the terms of the Offer or the Offer Conditions; provided that (A) Buyer may not, without the prior written consent of the
Company, waive the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition, or accept for payment any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer if the Minimum Condition has not been met and (B) no change may be made without the prior written consent of the
Company that (1) changes the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (2) decreases the Per Share Amount, (3) reduces the maximum number of Company Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (4) extends the Offer other than in
accordance with Section 2.01(c), (5) imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex I or which otherwise modifies the conditions set forth in such Annex I, or (6) amends any other term of the Offer in a manner
adverse to the holders of Company Shares. 
 (b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the commencement of the Offer, Buyer
shall file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (“Schedule TO,” and such Schedule TO and any documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer will be made, together with any amendments or supplements thereto,
the “Offer Documents”). The Offer Documents shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of applicable federal securities Laws, and, on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given
to the holders of Company Shares, shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, except that in complying with the foregoing commitments, 

  
 12 

 
Buyer may rely on the accuracy of any information supplied by the Company or any holders of Company Shares specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Offer Documents. The
Company shall promptly furnish to Buyer all information concerning the Company that may be reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 2.01(b). Each of Buyer 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 and shall promptly supplement the Offer Documents to include any information that

opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents at least three calendar days (or such shorter period if three calendar days is not possible but not less than 24 hours) prior to their being filed with the SEC or disseminated to the holders
of Company Shares. Buyer shall provide the Company and its counsel with any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, Buyer or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after

Condition is not satisfied (other than conditions which by their terms can only be satisfied at the Closing itself) and has not been waived or (i) the Closing has not occurred and (ii) the Marketing Period plus a period of 5 business days
thereafter has not elapsed, in each case at the Initial Expiration Time or any subsequent time as of which the Offer is then scheduled to expire, then on each such scheduled expiration date Buyer may, or at the Company’s written request, Buyer

Expiration Time or any subsequent time as of which the Offer is scheduled to expire, then on each such scheduled expiration date Buyer may extend the Offer for a period of up to ten consecutive business days (but in no event past the date which is
five business days following the expiration of the Marketing Period). Each extension requested by the Company pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) shall be made in writing and delivered to Buyer no less than one business day prior to the expiration

days (the “Subsequent Offering Period”). 

  
 13 

 (d) Subject to the foregoing and upon the terms of the Offer and subject to satisfaction or
waiver of the Offer Conditions and, to the extent applicable, to the provisions of Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act, Buyer shall accept for payment and pay for, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within two business days) after the

necessary to purchase any and all Company Shares that Buyer becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. The Closing shall occur at a place and time mutually agreed by the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein,

this Section 2.02(b). Each of the Company and Buyer shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect and shall
promptly supplement the Schedule 14D-9 to include any information that shall become necessary to include in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company shall take all
steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be, at such time as reasonably agreed by Buyer and the Company, disseminated to holders of Company Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by
applicable federal securities Laws. 
 (c) The Company shall promptly furnish Buyer with mailing labels containing the names and
addresses of all record holders of Company Shares and with security position listings of Company Shares held in stock depositories, each as of a recent date, together with all other available listings and computer files containing names, addresses
and security position listings of record holders and beneficial owners of Company Shares as Buyer may reasonably request. The Company shall promptly furnish Buyer with such additional information, including updated listings and computer files of
holders of Company Shares, mailing labels and security position listings, and such other assistance in disseminating the Offer Documents to holders of Company Shares as Buyer may reasonably request. Subject to the requirements of applicable Laws,
and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Offer, Buyer and each of its affiliates, agents and advisors shall hold in confidence the information contained in such
labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall deliver to the Company, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to
cause its affiliates, agents and advisors to deliver, all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession. 
 SECTION 2.03. Company Options. Immediately prior to the Closing, all outstanding and unexercised Company Options other than those Company Options issued on or after the date of this Agreement shall
become fully vested. At the Closing, all outstanding and unexercised Company Options shall be canceled and the holders thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, excepting only the right, in respect of each such canceled Company
Option other than those Company Options issued on or after the date of this Agreement, to receive an amount in cash from the Company, on the Company’s regular payroll date occurring on or next following the date of the Closing and in accordance
with the Company’s regular payroll practices, equal to the result of multiplying the total number of Company Shares previously subject to such vested Company Option by the excess, if any, of the Per Share Amount over the

  
 15 

 
per share exercise price of such unexercised Company Option, subject to applicable Tax withholding. No Company Options shall be outstanding from and after the Closing. The Company shall take such
actions as may be necessary with respect to the Company Options to effectuate the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03. 
 SECTION 2.04. EGM. At any time following the execution of this Agreement, but in any event prior to the Initial Expiration Time, the Company shall hold an extraordinary meeting of shareholders (the
“EGM”) to (a) provide information regarding the Offer and approve this Agreement, (b) accept the resignation from the Board of the existing members thereof and appoint the new members of the Board in accordance with the
designation of Buyer set out below; (c) approve the sale by the Company effective as of the Closing, pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement (an “Asset Sale Agreement”), of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company (including the Company’s Subsidiaries) to Buyer or one or more of its designees for aggregate consideration of (i) a note payable (the “Note Payable”) from Buyer or one or more of its designees in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the Per Share Amount multiplied by the total number of outstanding Company Shares as of the Closing (which Note Payable shall be prepayable without penalty or premium but shall require the Buyer to repay to the Company, on
or prior to the completion of the Subsequent Offering Period, an amount of the Note Payable equal to the Per Share Amount multiplied by the number of Shares not tendered in the Tender Offer or the Subsequent Offering Period), and (ii) the
assumption by Buyer or its designees of all liabilities and obligations of the Company, whether actual, contingent or otherwise, including the express assumption of all contractual obligations (and also including the related obligation of Buyer or
its designees to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Company with respect to all such assumed liabilities and obligations) (the transaction described in this clause (c), the “Asset Sale”); and (d) resolve upon the liquidation
and dissolution of the Company following such Asset Sale and completion of the Subsequent Offering Period with the aim that the proceeds of such sale will be paid by means of a liquidation distribution to the shareholders of the Company such that
(i) each holder of Company Shares that were not tendered in the Offer or during the Subsequent Offering Period shall receive cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Amount multiplied by the number of Company Shares then held by such holder,
less any applicable withholding taxes and (ii) Buyer shall receive (in kind) the Note Payable. In connection with the Asset Sale, the Buyer shall provide a guarantee to the liquidator as to any deficit in the estate of the Company, so as to
enable the liquidator to pay the Per Share Amount per Company Share (less withholding taxes, if any) by means of an advance liquidation distribution to holders of Company Shares that were not tendered in the Offer or during the Subsequent Offering
Period. The resignations and appointments and the approval of the sale of the Company’s assets, the liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the distribution of the liquidation proceeds referred to in the preceding sentence (the
“Stockholder Approvals”) will be effective as of, and conditional upon the occurrence of, the Closing. As soon as practicable after the date of execution of this Agreement and no later than 20 calendar days prior to the date of the
EGM, Buyer shall designate in writing to the Company the new members for the Board and furnish the Company with all information with respect to those new members that is required to be disclosed to the Company shareholders under the Laws of The
Netherlands. At the EGM, the Company shall use 

  
 16 

 
its reasonable best efforts to secure the Stockholder Approvals, such Stockholder Approvals to be effective as of, and conditional upon, the occurrence of the Closing, as aforesaid. Buyer and the
Company shall consummate the Asset Sale simultaneously with the Closing. 
 ARTICLE III 

POST CLOSING MATTER 
 SECTION 3.01. Restructuring. Buyer shall, simultaneously with or as soon as possible after the Closing, effectuate a corporate reorganization (the “Post-Closing Reorganization”) of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, which may include, in addition to the Asset Sale, without limitation, (a) the commencement of a compulsory acquisition by Buyer of Company Shares from any remaining minority shareholder in accordance with
Section 2:92a of the Dutch Civil Code (the “DCC”), (b) the amendment of the Articles of Association of the Company to permit the creation, among other things, of separate classes of shares, (c) making a liquidation
distribution to each holder of Company Shares that were not tendered in the Offer or during the Subsequent Offering Period, (d) the effectuation by the Company and one or more Dutch Subsidiaries of Buyer of a legal merger within the meaning of
Section 2:309 of the DCC, (e) the termination of the listing of the Company Shares on the NASDAQ, (f) the deregistration of the Company under the Exchange Act and the cessation of the Company’s reporting obligations thereunder,
or (g) any one or more combinations of any of the foregoing actions; all of which shall be conducted in accordance with applicable Laws and which will in any case result in the holders of Company Shares that were not tendered in the Offer or
during the Subsequent Offering Period being offered or receiving in any such Post-Closing Reorganization for each of such Company Shares cash in an amount equal to the Per Share Amount, less applicable withholding taxes, as soon as reasonably
possible after the Closing. 
 SECTION 3.02. Co-Operation of the Company. The Company and Buyer shall take as of the date
of this Agreement or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practical, but effective no earlier than the consummation of the Offer, all actions reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the Asset Sale and, to the extent requested by Buyer, the
Post-Closing Reorganization including, without limitation, (a) in the case of the Company, the convening of the necessary meetings of the Company shareholders and the Board (including, without limitation, the EGM referenced in
Section 2.04), (b) in the case of the Company, the consideration of any and all necessary or desirable resolutions by the Board for the purpose of the corporate reorganizations and the consideration and approval (including approval by a
majority of disinterested directors) of any board resolutions (the “Board Approvals”) necessary or desirable to convene the EGM referenced in Section 2.04 and approve the Asset Sale to Buyer or its designee, the liquidation and
dissolution of the Company (unless the Board elects to defer the matter to a later separate EGM), in each case as set forth in Section 2.04, and (c) in the case of the Buyer and the Company, the execution of any and all reasonably
requested documents, agreements or deeds that are necessary or desirable to effectuate any of the corporate 

  
 17 

 
reorganizations and the filing or registration of any or all of such documents, agreements or deeds with the appropriate authorities or agencies. In addition, at the request of Buyer, the Company
shall take any and all other actions that are reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the corporate reorganization of the Company and its Subsidiaries, so long as such actions are reasonable based on the relative detriment or inconvenience
to the Company and the relative benefit to Buyer from such action. With respect to all actions taken by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.02, Buyer shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses regardless
of whether or not the Offer is consummated except where Buyer has terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d) or Section 8.01(h), in which case Buyer shall not be obligated so to reimburse the Company.

operations and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods indicated therein (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal and recurring year-end adjustments) in

 SECTION 4.07. Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company has established and maintains
disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as such terms are defined in paragraphs (e) and (f), respectively, of Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) as required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. The

  
 21 

 
Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are reasonably designed to ensure that all material information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications required pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The Company’s management has completed an assessment of the effectiveness of
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for the year ended December 31, 2009,
and such assessment concluded that such controls were effective.

 SECTION 4.09. Compliance with Laws. The Company and its Subsidiaries are, and since May 17, 2007 have been, in material compliance with all applicable Laws and have all licenses, certificates,
permits, consents, orders, approvals and authorizations from any Governmental Authority that are necessary to the ownership of their property or to the conduct of their businesses in the manner and to the extent now conducted by the Company and its
Subsidiaries, except where any failure to comply with any such laws or failure to have any such license, certificate, permit, consent, order, approval or authorization would not have a Material Adverse Effect. This Section 4.09 includes all
subject matters except those covered by Sections 4.01, 4.06, 4.07, 4.11, 4.15, 4.16 and 4.19. 
 SECTION 4.10. Absence of

pending or threatened in writing, against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, by or before any court, other Governmental Authority or arbitrator that, if adversely determined,

 SECTION 4.11. Employee Benefit Plans. 

(a) Section 4.11 of the Disclosure Schedule lists each material plan, arrangement or policy (written or oral), whether covering a
single individual or group of individuals, relating to stock options, stock purchases, deferred compensation, bonus, severance, retention, fringe benefits or other employee benefits (collectively, the “Plans”), including, without
limitation, each material employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) (such Plans, the “U.S. Plans”), in each case that is maintained or contributed to, or required to be maintained or contributed to, by the
Company or any ERISA Affiliate or under which the Company or any ERISA Affiliate has or may have any liability for contributions, premiums or benefits. Each Plan that has been maintained or contributed to by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
or with respect to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries will or may have any liability, for the benefit of employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any of them, who perform services outside the United States shall be collectively
referred to as the “International Plans.” 
 (b) The Company has made available to Buyer true and complete
copies of each U.S. Plan and, for each U.S. Plan (i) if the Plan has been reduced to writing, the plan document and all amendments thereto, (ii) if the Plan has not been reduced to writing, a written summary of all material Plan terms,
(iii) any related trust agreements, custodial agreements, insurance policies or contracts, administrative agreements and similar agreements, and investment management or investment advisory agreements, (iv) any summary plan descriptions,
employee handbooks or similar employee communications, (v) in the case of any Plan for which Forms 5500 are required to be filed, the Form 5500 and accompanying schedules, if any, for the most recent two (2) years for which such Forms have
been filed, and (vi) in the case of any Plan that is intended to be qualified under Code Section 401(a), the most recent determination letter (and, if applicable, opinion letter) from the Internal Revenue Service. 

(c) Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has ever maintained, contributed to, or been required to contribute to a plan subject to
Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code, including any multiemployer plan (within the meaning of Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA) or single employer pension plan (within the meaning of Section 4001(a)(15) of ERISA) for which
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could incur liability under Section 4063 or 4064 of ERISA. None of the Plans (i) provides for the payment of separation, severance, termination or similar-type benefits to any Person,
(ii) obligates the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to pay or accelerate the vesting of any payment or funding of any separation, severance, termination or other payment or benefits solely or partially as a result of any transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) obligates the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to make any payment or provide any benefit as a result of a change in the ownership or control of the Company or the change in the ownership of a
substantial portion of the Company’s assets. None of the Plans provides for or promises retiree medical, disability or life insurance benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
except as required by Section 601 et seq. of ERISA. 

  
 23 

 (d) To the knowledge of the Company, each Plan is now and always has been maintained and
administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code, where applicable. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries could reasonably be subject to a
liability under Sections 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or to a tax under Section 4975 of the Code. The Company and its Subsidiaries have performed all obligations required to be performed by them under the Plans in all material respects and are not in
any material respect in default under or in violation of, and the Company has no knowledge of any material default or violation by any party to, any Plan. No Action is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened with respect to any Plan
(other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course) and, to the knowledge of the Company, no fact or event exists that is reasonably likely to give rise to any such Action. No Plan is or, within the last six (6) years, has been the subject
of an examination or audit by any Governmental Authority or the subject of an application or filing under or a participant in, a government-sponsored amnesty, voluntary compliance, self-correction or similar program. 

(e) For each U.S. Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code or Section 401(k) of the Code, the
Company and/or its Subsidiaries have adopted a prototype plan that has received a favorable opinion letter from the IRS and, to the knowledge of the Company, no fact or event has occurred to adversely affect the qualified status of any such Plan.

 (f) The Company and its Subsidiaries have timely paid all amounts that each, as applicable, is required to pay as
contributions to, or premiums or benefits under, the Plans in all material respects, or have accrued such amounts in accordance with GAAP. 
 (g) Neither the execution of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether alone or in connection with any other events) will result in any payment that, separately
or in the aggregate, would constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code or that would not be deductible under Section 162 of the Code. 

(h) Each International Plan has been established, maintained and administered in material compliance with its terms and conditions and
with the requirements prescribed by any and all Laws that are applicable to such International Plan. Furthermore, no International Plan has material unfunded liabilities that, as of the Closing, will not be offset by insurance or fully accrued or
disclosed in the Company’s financial statements. 
 (i) Prior to the execution of this Agreement, the Company (acting
through the Compensation Committee and the Special Committee of the Board) has taken all such steps as may be required to cause any and all employment compensation, severance and employee benefit agreements and arrangements entered into by the
Company or its Subsidiaries or contemplated hereby with any of their respective officers, directors or employees (including those agreement and arrangements listed in Schedule 4.11(i)) to be approved as an “employment compensation,
severance or other employee benefit 

  
 24 

 
arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange
Act. 
 SECTION 4.12. Labor and Employment Matters. 

(a) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries are party to, or otherwise bound by, any collective bargaining or other agreement with
a labor union, and no such agreement is being negotiated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. None of the employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are represented by a labor union. To the knowledge of the Company, there is no effort
by or on behalf of any labor union to organize any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and there have been no such efforts for the past three years. No petition has been filed or proceedings instituted by an employee or group of
employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any labor relations board seeking recognition of a bargaining representative. There is no labor dispute, work slowdown, picketing or strike pending, or to the knowledge of the Company,
threatened against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries and there have been no such disputes or activities for the past three years. Except as would not have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no unfair labor practice complaints pending against
the Company or any of its Subsidiaries before the National Labor Relations Board or any other labor relations tribunal or authority. 
 (b) True and complete information as to the name, current job title and compensation for each of the last three years of all current executive officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries has been
provided to Buyer. As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the Company, except as set forth in Section 4.12(b) of the Disclosure Schedule, no current executive officer or Key Employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has given
written notice of termination of employment with the Company or any Subsidiary. 
 (c) As of the date of this Agreement, except
as set forth in Section 4.12(c) of the Disclosure Schedule or as would not materially affect the Company, (i) there is no investigation or audit pending (or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened) by any Governmental Authority with
respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries concerning employment-related matters, and (ii) no current or former employee or independent contractor of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries has brought any Action (or, to the knowledge of
the Company, has threatened to bring any Action) against or affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 
 (d) The Company
and each of its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with all Laws respecting employment, employment practices and terms and conditions of employment, including but not limited to wages and hours and the classification of employees
and independent contractors, and have not been and are not engaged in any unfair labor practice as defined in the National Labor Relations Act.

date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (c) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other
liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its
liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS 
 SECTION 7.01. Appropriate Action; Consents; Filings. 
 (a) Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company, Buyer and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all appropriate action, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable
under applicable Laws or otherwise to consummate the Offer, the Closing and the Post-Closing Reorganization (including the actions and transactions contemplated by the Stockholder Approvals) as promptly as practicable, (ii) obtain the Company
Required Approvals; provided that Buyer, Parent and the Company shall cooperate with each other in connection with the making of all such filings, including providing copies of all such documents to the non-filing party and its advisors prior
to filing, and incorporating all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested by the other party in connection therewith. Buyer, Parent and the Company shall furnish to each other all information required for any application or other filing
to be made pursuant to the rules and regulations of any applicable Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 (b) Each of Buyer, Parent and the Company shall give (or shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to give) any required notices to third parties, and use, and cause its respective Subsidiaries to use,
their reasonable best efforts to obtain the third party consents listed on Schedule 7.01(b). 
 (c) From the date of this
Agreement until the Closing, each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any pending or, to the knowledge of the first 

  
 39 

 
party, threatened Action or investigation by any Governmental Authority or any other Person (i) challenging or seeking material damages in connection with the Offer, the Closing or the
Post-Closing Reorganization (including the actions and transactions contemplated by the Stockholder Approvals) or (ii) seeking to restrain or prohibit the consummation of the Offer, the Closing or the Post-Closing Reorganization (including the
actions and transactions contemplated by the Stockholder Approvals) or otherwise limit the right of Buyer or Parent or, to the knowledge of such party, Subsidiaries of Buyer or Parent to own or operate all or any portion of the businesses or assets
of the Company or its Subsidiaries. 
 (d) Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to file the appropriate
“Notification and Report Form” pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby as promptly as the parties agree is advisable after the date hereof and, in any event, within 15 days after the date hereof, unless
the parties mutually agree to a later date, and to supply promptly any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to the HSR Act. In addition, each party shall promptly, and prior to the expiration of any legal
deadline, make any other filing that may be required under any other applicable Antitrust Laws. Each party shall bear its respective filing fees associated with the HSR filings and any other filings required under any other applicable Antitrust
Laws. Buyer, Parent and the Company shall, and shall instruct their respective counsel to, cooperate with each other and use their reasonable best efforts, in consultation with one another, to facilitate and expedite the HSR process and the
identification and resolution of any issues relating to the HSR filings and any other filings under any other applicable Antitrust Laws (including, meeting (either in person or by telephone) with the other party as promptly as practicable after the
date hereof to determine when to file the appropriate “Notification and Report Form” pursuant to the HSR Act, keeping each other appropriately informed of, and promptly providing each other copies of, all communications from and to
personnel of the reviewing antitrust authority, conferring regularly with each other regarding appropriate contacts with and response to personnel of said antitrust authority, including attending meetings, promptly furnishing to the other such
information and assistance as the other may reasonably request in connection with its preparation of any notifications or other submissions to Governmental Authorities, and permitting the other party to review, and incorporating the other
party’s reasonable comments, in any communication to be given by it to any Governmental Authority with respect to obtaining the necessary approvals for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and, consequently, facilitate expiration of
the applicable HSR Act waiting period and obtain clearance under any other applicable Antitrust Laws at the earliest practicable date. In all cases Buyer shall be entitled to direct the antitrust defense of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement in any investigation or litigation by, or negotiations with, any Governmental Authority or other Person relating to the Offer or regulatory filings under applicable Antitrust Laws, including any communications with any Governmental
Authority relating to any contemplated or proposed Divestiture Action. Subject to applicable legal limitations and the instructions of any Governmental Authority, the parties agree that they shall consult with each other in advance of and not
participate in any meeting or discussion expected to address substantive matters related to the transactions contemplated hereby, either in person or by telephone, with any Governmental Authority in connection with the proposed

  
 40 

 
transactions unless, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Authority, it gives the other party the opportunity to attend and observe; provided that, Buyer and Parent shall have
no obligation to include the Company in any meeting or discussion with any Governmental Authority relating to any contemplated or proposed Divestiture Action, only, in each case, following receipt of the prior consent of the Special Committee of the
Board; provided, however, that Buyer or Parent shall provide the Company with a summary of any such meeting or discussion. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.01 to the contrary, in connection with obtaining clearance or any approval of any antitrust authority under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws or
the expiration of any waiting period thereunder, Buyer and Parent shall not, and shall not be required to cause any of their respective Subsidiaries to, (i) sell or otherwise dispose of, or hold separate or agree to sell or otherwise dispose
of, assets, categories of assets or businesses; (ii) terminate existing relationships, contractual rights or obligations; (iii) terminate any venture or other arrangement; (iv) create any relationship, contractual right or obligation
or (v) effectuate any other change or restructuring (or, in each case, enter into agreements or stipulate to the entry of an order or decree or file appropriate applications with any antitrust authority in connection with any of the foregoing)
(each a “Divestiture Action”). At the written request of Buyer, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, consummate a Divestiture Action in connection with obtaining clearance from or approval of any Governmental
Authority under applicable Antitrust Laws; provided that, without the consent of the Company, no such Divestiture Action will be effective prior to the Closing. Subject to Buyer’s right to direct the antitrust defense of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (i) in the event that any action is threatened or instituted challenging the Offer as violative of the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws, the Company, Buyer and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts to
avoid or resolve such action, and (ii) in the event that any permanent or preliminary injunction or other order is entered or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered in any proceeding that would make consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Offer, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement unlawful or that would restrain, enjoin or otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the
Company, Buyer and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts to vacate, modify or suspend such injunction or order so as to permit such consummation. The parties shall take reasonable efforts to share information protected from disclosure under
the attorney-client privilege, attorney work product immunity, joint defense privilege or any other privilege pursuant to this section so as to preserve any applicable privilege. 

(f) The Company, Buyer and Parent shall not take any action with the intention to hinder or delay the obtaining of clearance or any
necessary approval of any antitrust authority under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws or the expiration of the required waiting period thereunder; provided that Buyer may withdraw the filing of its Notification and Report Form pursuant
to the HSR Act if, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of Buyer, such withdrawal is unlikely to delay in any material respect consummation of the Offering. 

  
 41 

 SECTION 7.02. Access to Information; Confidentiality. 

(a) From the date hereof until the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and the officers, directors, employees,
auditors and agents of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, afford the officers, employees and agents of Buyer reasonable access at all reasonable times to the officers, agents, properties, offices, plants and other facilities, books and records of
the Company and each of its Subsidiaries, and shall furnish Buyer with such financial, operating and other data and information as Buyer, through their officers, employees or agents, or the Access Parties may reasonably request; provided, however,
(i) that the officers, employees and agents of Buyer, and the Access Parities, shall not be permitted to conduct invasive environmental investigation or testing at any properties, offices, plants and other facilities at which the Company
conducts or has conducted operations and (ii) that the Company may restrict the foregoing access and information to the extent that the Company, in its reasonable judgment, determines that not doing so would (A) violate applicable Laws,
(B) result in a risk of the loss of attorney-client privilege with respect to such information provided that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege, or
(C) result in a violation of an agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party; provided that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to give prompt notice to Buyer any time the Company restricts access or
information pursuant to sub-clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) or (ii)(C). Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.02 shall be conducted in a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company or its
Subsidiaries. 
 (b) With respect to all information furnished by or on behalf of the Company to Buyer or any of its
representatives or agents under this Agreement, Buyer shall comply with, and shall cause its representatives and agents to comply with, all of their respective obligations under the Nondisclosure Agreement relating thereto. 

SECTION 7.03. No Solicitation of Transactions. 
 (a) Subject to Section 7.03(c)(i), the Company will not, and (A) will cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors and employees, and (B) will use its reasonable
best efforts to cause its and its Subsidiaries respective investment bankers, attorneys and other representatives and agents retained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries not to (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage the making of
any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiries that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal; (ii) engage in negotiations or discussions with, or furnish any information or data to, any Person relating to an Acquisition
Proposal; (iii) enter into any agreement or agreement in principle with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or waive any standstill provision; or (iv) otherwise cooperate with or assist or participate in, or knowingly facilitate any
Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall, and shall direct or cause its Subsidiaries and its and their officers,
directors, employees and investment bankers, 

  
 42 

 
attorneys and other representatives and agents to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated any discussions or negotiations with any parties that may be ongoing with respect to any
Acquisition Proposal as of the date hereof; provided, however, that the obligations set forth in this Section 7.03(a) shall not prohibit the Company from entertaining an Acquisition Proposal in accordance with
Section 7.03(c)(i) that may be made by any such Person after the date hereof, provided, further, that the Company’s release or waiver, in response to an unsolicited inquiry, of any “standstill” to which it is a
party shall not violate this Section 7.03(a). 
 (b) Subject to Section 7.03(c)(ii), neither the Board nor any
committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Buyer, the approval or recommendation by the Board or any committee of the Board, of the Offer or this Agreement, or (ii) approve or recommend any Acquisition Proposal
of any Person other than Buyer. It being understood that a “stop, look and listen” statement or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act shall not be deemed a breach of this
Section 7.03(b). 
 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement: 

(i) the Company and the Board may participate in discussions or negotiations with or furnish information to any Person if either
(A) the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors, that such Person is reasonably likely to submit to the Company an Acquisition Proposal that is a Superior Proposal, or (B) the Board determines in good
faith, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the failure to participate in such discussions or negotiations or to furnish such information would constitute a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws of The
Netherlands; provided that any such Person to whom information is furnished shall be required to execute a confidentiality agreement with the Company on terms no less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the
Nondisclosure Agreement, except that such confidentiality agreement (x) may contain a less restrictive or no standstill restriction and may specifically release such Person from any existing standstill restriction, and (y) shall expressly
not prohibit, or adversely affect the rights of the Company thereunder upon, compliance by the Company with any provision of this Agreement; and 
 (ii) the Board may be permitted to (A) withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Buyer, its approval or recommendation of the Offer or this Agreement and make disclosure thereof to the holders of
Company Shares, (B) take and disclose to the holders of Company Shares a favorable position with respect to a Superior Proposal (each a “Change in Recommendation”) or (C) make “stop, look and listen” statements
or similar communications of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or disclosure in favor of the Offer to the holders of Company Shares, in each case either with respect to or as a result of a Superior Proposal, if the Board
determines in good faith, after consultation with its legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would constitute a breach of the Company’s disclosure obligations or the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Laws of The
Netherlands, as applicable; provided, however, that the Board shall not be entitled to make a Change in 

  
 43 

 
Recommendation until three full business days following delivery of written notice to Buyer (a “Section 7.03(c)(ii) Notice”) from the Board advising Buyer that the Board intends
to take such action, including the identity of the Person making the Superior Proposal, a description of the terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal and a copy of the proposed transaction agreement for any such Superior Proposal in the
form to be entered into (it being understood and agreed that, in the event of an amendment to the financial terms or other material terms of such Superior Proposal, the Board shall not be entitled to exercise such right based on such Superior
Proposal, as so amended, until three full business days following delivery of written notice to Buyer of a Section 7.03(c)(ii) Notice with respect to such Superior Proposal as so amended). In determining whether to terminate this Agreement in
response to a Superior Proposal or to make a Change in Recommendation, the Board shall take into account any proposals made by Buyer to amend the terms of this Agreement. 
 (d) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within two calendar days) notify Buyer after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information
relating to the Company in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or for access to the properties, books or records of the Company by any Person that informs the Board that it is considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. Such notice
to Buyer shall indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the offeror and the terms and conditions of such proposal, offer or request. 
 (e) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Superior Proposal” means any Acquisition Proposal, not solicited or initiated in violation of this Section 7.03, made by a Person other than
Buyer, Parent or any affiliate of the Company which the Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisor, to be more favorable to the Company and its stakeholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For
purposes of the definition of Superior Proposal, the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.01, except that all references to 25% therein shall be deemed to be references to 50%.

 SECTION 7.04. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance. 

(a) For six years from and after the date of the Closing, the indemnification provisions then set forth in the articles of association of
the Company shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Closing, were directors, officers or Key Employees of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Laws. 
 (b) From and after the Closing, Buyer and the
Company shall jointly and severally, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Laws, indemnify, defend and hold harmless, each present and former director, officer or Key Employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the
“Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses 

  
 44 

 
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, (i) arising out of or pertaining to the Offer or this Agreement or (ii) otherwise with respect to any acts or omissions or any alleged acts or omissions
occurring prior to, on or after the Closing, in each case to the same extent and subject to any limitations as provided in the Company’s articles of association or any agreement set forth in Schedule 7.04(b) as in effect on the date hereof, in
each case for a period of six years after the date hereof. From and after the Closing, in the event of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation brought against any Indemnified Party (other than in the case of sub-clause
(B) below by Buyer, Parent or the Company), to the same extent and subject to any limitations provided in any such articles of association or agreement set forth in Schedule 7.04(b) (A) Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel selected by the Indemnified Parties and (B) Buyer and the Company shall cooperate in the defense of any such matter as reasonably requested by such Indemnified Party, and without Buyer, Parent and/or
the Company, as the case may be, being required to disclose any information or materials protected by attorney-client privilege, attorney work product doctrine or other immunities from disclosure; provided, however, that neither Buyer
nor the Company shall be liable for any settlement effected without the written consent of Buyer or the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed); provided further, that in the event that any
claim for indemnification is asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification in respect of such claim shall continue until the disposition of such claim. 

(c) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall cause the Company to maintain in effect for six years from the Closing, the current
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing; provided that the Company may substitute therefor a policy or policies of at least the same
coverage containing terms and conditions that in the aggregate are not materially less favorable; provided further, that in no event shall the Company be required to expend pursuant to this Section 7.04(c) more than an amount
equal to 250% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance. 
 (d) From and after the Closing, Buyer and
the Company jointly and severally agree to pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Indemnified Parties in enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided for in this Section 7.04.

 (e) The provisions of this Section 7.04, (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by,
each Indemnified Party, his or her heirs and his or her representative or agent and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by contract or
otherwise. 
 (f) In the event Buyer or the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with
or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or 

  
 45 

 
substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Company, as the case
may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.04. 
 (g) The rights and obligations under this
Section 7.04 shall survive consummation of the Offer and the Closing and shall not be terminated or amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party; provided that if this
Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing in accordance with Section 8.01, this Section 7.04 shall not survive and shall be of no further effect. It is expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 7.04 applies
shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.04 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants and agreements contained herein. 
 SECTION 7.05. Notification of Certain Matters. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Section 8.01, the Company shall give prompt notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall give prompt notice to the Company, of (a) the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event the occurrence, or non-occurrence, of which would be likely to cause
any condition to the obligations of the other party to consummate the Offer and other the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied, and (b) any failure of the Company, Buyer or Parent, as the case may be, to comply with
or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of the other party to consummate the Offer and the other the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty, the failure to comply with any
covenant, the failure to meet any condition or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice. 
 SECTION 7.06. Public Announcements. No public release or announcement concerning the Offer or this Agreement shall be issued by either party without the prior consent of the other party (which
consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Laws, stock exchange or self-regulatory organization, in which case the party required to make the release or
announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance. 
 SECTION 7.07. Comparability of Employee Benefits. 
 (a) For the one
(1) year period following the date of the Closing, Buyer shall provide, or shall cause the relevant Subsidiary of Buyer to provide, all individuals who are employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing,
and whose employment by Buyer or a Subsidiary of Buyer continues following the Closing (the 

  
 46 

 
“Assumed Employees”) with compensation and employee benefits (excluding equity or other incentive compensation) that are substantially comparable to those received by the Assumed
Employees prior to the Closing. Following the Closing, each Assumed Employee shall receive service credit under the employee benefit plans of Buyer and its Subsidiaries, for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting (but not for benefit
accrual purposes) for their service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. Each Assumed Employee shall also receive service credit for purposes of calculating the levels of benefits with respect to severance, vacation, personal
days off and any other welfare-type benefits where service is a factor in calculating benefits. Buyer and the Company will also cause all (i) pre-existing conditions and proof of insurability provisions for all conditions that all Assumed
Employees and their covered dependents have as of the Closing and (ii) waiting periods under each benefit plan that would otherwise be applicable to newly hired employees to be waived to the same extent waived or satisfied under the Plans. In
addition, Buyer and the Company will honor or cause to be honored any deductible, co-payment and out-of-pocket maximums incurred by Assumed Employees and their covered dependents under the Plans during the portion of the applicable plan year prior
to the date of the Closing in satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under any plans of Buyer or the Company in which they are eligible to participate after the Closing for such plan year. Notwithstanding anything in this
Section 7.07 to the contrary, none of the provisions contained in this Section 7.07 shall operate to duplicate any benefit provided to any Assumed Employee. 
 (b) Buyer and the Company will give each Assumed Employee credit, for purposes of Buyer’s and the Company’s vacation and/or other paid leave benefit programs, for such Assumed Employee’s
accrued and unpaid vacation and/or paid leave balance as of the Closing. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Assumed Employees shall be eligible to participate in Buyer’s severance plan to the same extent as similarly-situated employees of Buyer in the same jurisdiction as such Assumed Employees; provided, that this provision shall not apply to
the extent that an Assumed Employee is entitled to severance payments or benefits pursuant to applicable Law. 
 (d) Those
executive officers and other employees of the Company eligible to receive bonus payments under the Company MBO Bonus Program shall receive, immediately prior to the Closing, (i) bonus payments for fiscal year 2010 in the amounts set forth on
Schedule 7.07(d) and labeled “2010” to the extent such amounts have not previously been paid, and (ii) pro rata bonus payments for fiscal year 2011 in an amount equal to the amounts set forth on Schedule 7.07(d) and labeled
“2011” multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in 2011 preceding and including the date of the Closing and the denominator of which is 365. 

(e) Buyer and the Company acknowledge and agree that the consummation of the Offer shall constitute a “Change in Control” as
defined in the executive change in control agreements and retention plan agreements (collectively, “Executive Agreements”) entered into between the Company and certain of its employees (all of the employees covered

  
 47 

 
by any of the foregoing agreements, the “Covered Employees”) (all of such Executive Agreements and Covered Employees being listed in Schedule 7.07(e)), and that upon and
following the consummation of the Offer, the Covered Employees shall have the rights and the Company shall have the obligations arising under such Executive Agreements upon a “Change in Control.” 

(f) Nothing in this Section 7.07, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any person not a party hereto any right, benefit or
remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement, or any right to a particular term or condition of employment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement is intended to, or does, constitute the establishment of, or an amendment to, any Plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company, Buyer or any of respective Subsidiaries or will
limit the rights of Buyer, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries to amend, terminate, or otherwise modify any benefit plan of Buyer, the Company or their respective Subsidiaries following the Closing. 

(g) The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, comply with any required notifications to, and any required consultation with,
the employees, employee representatives, works council, unions, labor boards and relevant labor Governmental Authorities in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

SECTION 7.08. Financing. 
 (a) Parent and Buyer shall, and shall cause their respective Subsidiaries to, use their reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things
necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the proceeds of the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing and the
Financing Commitments, (ii) enter into definitive financing agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and conditions specified in the Financing Commitments (subject to any related flex provisions), so that such agreements are in
effect as promptly as practicable but in any event no later than the Closing, (iii) enforce its rights under the Financing Commitments (including through litigation), (iv) consummate the Financing at the Closing on the terms and conditions
(including the flex provisions) specified in the Financing Commitments, (v) satisfy all conditions (including the provision of information relating to the Buyer and its affiliates that is required to satisfy paragraphs (6) and (10) of
Exhibit D to the Debt Financing Commitments) to such definitive agreements that are applicable to Buyer, Parent and its subsidiaries, and (vi) to comply with its obligations under the Financing Commitments. It is understood that it is not a
condition to Closing under this Agreement for Buyer to obtain the Financing or any Alternative Financing. Buyer shall provide to the Company copies of all final documents relating to the Financing and shall keep the Company fully informed of
material developments in respect of the financing process relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the 

  
 48 

 
foregoing, Buyer shall give the Company prompt notice (i) of any material breach or default by any party to any Financing Commitments or definitive document related to the Financing of which
Buyer becomes aware; and (ii) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Financing Source with respect to any: (A) material breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Financing
Commitments or any definitive document related to the Financing of any provisions of the Financing Commitments or any definitive document related to the Financing or (B) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any
Financing Commitments or any definitive documents related to the Financing; provided, that none of Buyer, Parent or any of their affiliates shall be under any obligation to disclose any information that is subject to attorney client or similar
privilege; provided, further, that Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to disclose such information in a way that would not waive such privilege. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within five (5) business days of
the date the Company delivers to Buyer a written request, Buyer shall provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstances referred to in clause (i) or (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence. Prior
to the Closing, Buyer and Parent shall not, and shall cause Borrower and its affiliates, not to agree to, or permit, any amendment or modification of, or waiver under, the Financing Commitments or other final documentation relating to the Financing
without the prior written consent of the Company, except Parent or Borrower, as applicable, may amend, modify, supplement, restate or replace the Financing Commitments, in whole or part, if such amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or
replacement (w) does not reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing (including by changing the amount of fees to be paid or original issue discount of the Debt Financing unless either the Debt Financing or the Equity Financing or both are
increased by a corresponding amount), (x) does not impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand the conditions to the Financing, (y) does not amend or modify any other term of the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be
expected to (I) make the timely funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur or (II) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against other parties to the
Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements with respect thereto and (z) is not reasonably expected to hinder or delay the Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.08 or in any other provision of this Agreement,
in no event shall Buyer be required to consummate the Closing any earlier than the fifth business day following the expiration of the Marketing Period. Buyer shall deliver to the Company copies of any such amendment, modification or replacement. For
purposes of this Section 7.08, references to “Financing” shall include the financing contemplated by the Financing Commitments as permitted to be amended, modified, supplemented, restated or replaced by this Section 7.08(a) and
references to “Debt Financing Commitments” and “Financing Commitments” shall include any amendment, modification, restatement, supplement and replacement permitted by this Section 7.08(a). 

(b) If, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Buyer and Parent to satisfy their obligations under Section 7.08(a),
any of the Financing Commitments (or any definitive financing agreement relating thereto) becomes unavailable, in whole or in part, for any reason, (i) Buyer shall promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and

  
 49 

 
the reasons therefor and (ii) Buyer and Parent shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange to obtain alternative debt financing from other financing sources on terms and conditions
that are not materially less favorable to Buyer and its affiliates than those contained in the Financing Commitments (including flex provisions) and in an amount sufficient to replace the Financing or the unavailable portion thereof, as the case may
be (the “Alternative Financing”), and to obtain a new financing commitment letter with respect to such Alternative Financing (the “New Debt Financing Commitments”) which shall replace the existing Debt Financing
Commitments, a true, complete and correct copy of which shall be promptly provided to the Company; provided that (i) none of Parent, Buyer, Borrower or any of their Affiliates shall be required to execute any New Debt Financing
Commitments and (ii) neither Buyer nor Parent shall be required to arrange for such Alternative Financing, in the case of both (i) and (ii) on terms and conditions (including flex provisions) which are materially less favorable
(unless otherwise determined by Buyer), in the aggregate, to Buyer, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries than those included in the Debt Financing Commitments that such New Debt Financing Commitments are replacing. In the event any New Debt
Financing Commitments are obtained, (i) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing” or the “Debt Financing” shall mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitments as modified pursuant to clause
(ii) below, and (ii) any reference in this Agreement to the “Financing Commitments” or the “Debt Financing Commitments” shall be deemed to include the Debt Financing Commitments that are not superseded by New Debt
Financing Commitments at the time in question and the New Debt Financing Commitments to the extent then in effect. 
 (c) In the
period between the date hereof and the Closing, upon request of Buyer, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at Buyer’s sole expense, use reasonable best efforts to cause its and their affiliates and its and their
representatives (including legal and accounting) to, cooperate in connection with the arrangement and obtaining of the Financing, including (i) using reasonable best efforts to provide to Buyer from time to time information regarding the
Company reasonably requested by the lenders providing the Financing and identifying any portion of such information that constitutes material non-public information, (ii) participating in a reasonable number of meetings, road shows
presentations, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions with prospective lenders and sessions with rating agencies in connection with the Financing, including direct contact (to the extent consistent with their obligations to the Company) between
senior management and representatives (including accounting) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the financing sources, potential lenders and investors for the Financing, on the other hand, (iii) assisting with the
preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, offering and syndication documents (including prospectuses, private placement memoranda and lender and investor presentations), business projections and similar marketing documents required
in connection with the Financing (all such documents and materials, collectively the “Debt Offering Documents”) and other materials to be used in connection with obtaining the Debt Financing and all documentation and other
information required by Governmental Entities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including U.S.A. Patriot Act of 2001, but in each case, solely with respect to the information relating to
the Company and its Subsidiaries (iv) as promptly as practical after Buyer’s request, 

  
 50 

 
furnishing Buyer and its Financing Sources all Required Information of the Company and its Subsidiaries, including all information and disclosures relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries
reasonably requested by Buyer to assist with preparation of the Debt Offering Documents, including customary authorization and management representation letters, (v) cooperating to a reasonable extent in satisfying the conditions precedent set
forth in the Financing Commitments or any definitive document relating to the financing (to the extent the satisfaction of such condition requires the cooperation of, and is within the control of, the Company), including but not limited to
permitting the Access Parties reasonable access in accordance with Section 7.02 to evaluate the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ current assets, cash management and accounting systems, policies and procedures relating thereto for the
purposes of establishing collateral arrangements, to the extent such collateral arrangements are required by the terms of the Debt Financing, (vi) issuing customary representation letters to auditors and using reasonable best efforts to obtain
(A) accountants’ comfort letters and consents to the use of accountants’ audit reports relating to the Company, (B) corporate, credit and facility ratings from rating agencies, (C) consents and waivers and legal opinions
reasonably required by Buyer, and (D) other documentation and items contemplated by the Financing Commitments or any definitive document relating to the Financing as reasonably requested by Buyer, (vii) promptly providing monthly financial
statements (excluding footnotes) to the extent available and prepared by the Company in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and (viii) executing and delivering, as of the Closing, any pledge and security documents,
other definitive financing documents, or other certificates or documents contemplated by the Financing Commitments and hedging agreements as may be reasonably requested by Buyer (including a certificate of the chief financial officer of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to financial matters for purposes of Borrower’s certification with respect to solvency matters and consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Financing) and
otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral (including requesting payoff letters, releases, terminations, waivers, consents, estoppels and approvals as may be required in connection therewith) contemplated by the Financing. The
Company hereby consents to the use of its and its Subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.08 to the contrary, none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay
any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability in connection with the Financing prior to the consummation of the Offer and Buyer shall, promptly upon written request by the Company, reimburse the Company for all reasonable
documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Section 7.08 if the Offer does not occur; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement (including this Section 7.08) (1) nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 7.08) shall require any such cooperation to the extent that it would (a) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
Representatives, as applicable, to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or agree to pay any commitment or other fees or reimburse any expenses prior to the Closing, or incur any liability or give any indemnities or otherwise commit to take any
action that is not contingent upon the Closing, (b) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing business or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (c) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that will
conflict with or violate the 

  
 51 

 
Company’s organizational documents or any Laws or result in the contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a violation or breach of, or default under, any Contract
to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, (d) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into or approve any financing or purchase agreement for the Financing, (e) prevent the prompt and timely discharge in
all material respects of the duties of any of the Company’s executive officers, or (f) result in any officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability with respect to any matters relating to the
Financing, (2) no action, liability or obligation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives under any certificate, agreement, arrangement, document or instrument relating to the Debt Financing shall be
effective until the Closing, (3) any bank information memoranda and high-yield offering prospectuses or memoranda required in relation to the Debt Financing need not be issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (4) notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, the parties agree that any road shows, ratings agencies presentations, preparation of documents (including rating agency presentation, bank information memoranda or other offer documents in connection with the Debt
Financing) and provision of information with respect to the prospects and plans for the Company’s business and operations, in each case under this clause (4), in connection with the Debt Financing remains the sole responsibility of Buyer and
Parent and none of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives shall have any liability or incur any losses, damages or penalties with respect thereto or be required to provide any information or make any
presentations with respect to the manner in which Buyer or Parent intends to operate, or cause to be operated, the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Closing. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its
Representatives from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing (including actions taken
at the request of Buyer in accordance with this Section 7.08) and any information (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries) utilized in connection therewith, except to the extent such liabilities,
losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interests, awards, judgments and penalties arise out of or in connection with (i) the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith or fraud by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or
any Representative of any of the foregoing, or (ii) solely in the case of Buyer’s indemnification of the Company, breach of this Agreement by the Company. 
 (d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.08 to the contrary, and without regard to the then market conditions or other general economic conditions, including the interest rate and cost of the
Debt Financing, and, for the avoidance of doubt, regardless of whether or not commercially reasonable, if all of the Offer Conditions (other than the conditions which by their terms can only be satisfied at the Closing itself) have been satisfied or
waived, in the event that as of the date which is five business days following the expiration of the Marketing Period all or any portion of the Debt Financing has not been consummated, Buyer shall use, and cause its affiliates to use, reasonable
best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate, or cause to be consummated, and shall use, or cause to be used, the proceeds of

  
 52 

 
the Bridge Financing (or any Alternative Financing) to cause the Closing to occur within five (5) business days of such date. The obligation to use the Bridge Financing (or any Alternative
Financing) as set forth in this Section 7.08(d) is referred to as the “Bridge Take-Down”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it shall not be reasonably possible to complete the Bridge Take-Down by such fifth (5th) business
day, Buyer shall continue to use, and cause its affiliates to continue to use, reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate, or cause to be
consummated, and shall use, or cause to be used, the proceeds of such Bridge Financing (or such Alternative Financing) as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Buyer or Parent be required to seek the Equity Financing from any source other than those counterparty to, or in
an amount in excess of that contemplated by, the Equity Financing Commitments. 
 ARTICLE VIII 

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER 
 SECTION 8.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Acceptance Time by: 
 (a) mutual written consent of the Company and Buyer duly authorized by the Board and the board of directors of Buyer; 
 (b) either Buyer or the Company on or after the Termination Date if the Offer has not been consummated prior to such date; 
 (c) either Buyer or the Company, (i) if there shall be any applicable treaty, statute, law, ordinance, regulation, rule or code of any Governmental Authority that makes consummation of the Offer
illegal or otherwise prohibited, or (ii) if a Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree, judgment, injunction, executive order or ruling or taken any other action enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Offer and such order,
decree, judgment, injunction, executive order, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; 
 (d) Buyer,
in the event that any of the following shall have occurred: (i) the Board shall have made a Change in Recommendation, (ii) the Company fails to include the Board Recommendation in the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9
filed with the SEC in respect of the Offer, (iii) following the disclosure or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal (other than a Superior Proposal), the Board fails to reaffirm publicly the Board Recommendation within ten business days
after Buyer requests in writing that such Board Recommendation under such circumstances be reaffirmed publicly (which request may only be made once with respect to such Acquisition Proposal and once with respect to each material modification
thereto), or (iv) a tender or exchange offer relating to securities of the 

  
 53 

 
Company other than the Offer shall have commenced and the Company shall not have announced, within ten business days after the commencement of such tender or exchange offer, a statement
disclosing that the Company recommends rejection of such tender or exchange offer; 
 (e) the Company or Buyer, if all the Offer
Conditions have been satisfied or waived and Buyer shall have failed to consummate the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within ten business days following the expiration of the Marketing Period; provided that Buyer shall
not be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(e) for so long as the Company is seeking to cause Buyer to comply with its obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, it being understood that if any
such remedy is sought by the Company, the Company shall be deemed to be seeking such enforcement unless all such remedies have been denied and such decisions have become final and nonappealable; provided, further, that Buyer shall only
be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(e) upon five business days written notice to the Company (which notice Buyer shall only be entitled to give as from the tenth business day following the expiration of the
Marketing Period); 
 (f) the Company, if the Board has authorized entering into a definitive agreement with respect to a
Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company has provided Buyer a Section 7.03(c)(ii) Notice and at the end of the applicable three full business day period following delivery of the applicable Section 7.03(c)(ii)
Notice, the Board determines, in its good faith judgment, after consultation with its financial advisor, that such Superior Proposal is more favorable to the Company and the holders of Company Shares than this Agreement and the Offer, after taking
into account any adjustments to this Agreement and/or the Offer by Buyer; 
 (g) the Company, if Buyer or Parent shall have
breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Annex I to be
satisfied and (B) has not been or is incapable of being cured by Buyer or Parent by the earlier of 30 days after its receipt of written notice thereof from the Company and the Termination Date; 

(h) Buyer, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements
contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Annex I to be satisfied, and (B) has not been or is incapable of being cured by the Company by the earlier of 30
days after its receipt of written notice thereof from Buyer and the Termination Date; 
 (i) The Company, if the Offer (as it
may be extended pursuant to Section 2.01) expires as a result of the non-satisfaction of the Minimum Condition, without Buyer having accepted for payment any Company Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer; or 

  
 54 

 (j) Buyer, if the conditions specified in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the first
paragraph of Annex I hereto shall have been satisfied and the Offer (as it may be extended pursuant to Section 2.01) expires as a result of the non-satisfaction of the Minimum Condition, without Buyer having accepted for payment any Company
Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer. 
 The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01
(other than pursuant to Section 8.01(a)) shall give two business days written notice of such termination to the other party hereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the right to terminate this Agreement under this
Section 8.01 shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill its obligations or to comply with its covenants and other agreements under this Agreement has been a significant factor in the cause of, or resulted in, the failure to
satisfy any condition to the obligations of other parties hereunder. 
 SECTION 8.02. Effect of Termination. In the event
of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and, subject to Section 8.03 and the last sentence of Section 8.02, there shall be no liability under this Agreement on the part
of Buyer, Parent or the Company or any of their respective employees, officers or directors or Financing Sources and all rights and obligations of any party hereto shall cease; provided, however, that nothing herein shall relieve any
party from liability for any breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination; provided, further, however, that any claim against a party for
monetary damages shall be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.03(j) and Section 9.09(d). The provisions of Sections 7.02(b), 8.02 and 8.03, the last sentence of 7.08(c) and Article IX shall survive any termination hereof
pursuant to Section 8.01. 
 SECTION 8.03. Termination Fees and Expenses. 

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.01(d), then the Company shall pay to Buyer a sum of US$12,500,000

 (b) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(f), then the Company shall pay to Buyer the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds within two business
days following the date of such termination of this Agreement.

the date of termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal shall have become publicly known and not withdrawn prior to the termination of this Agreement, (ii) thereafter, this Agreement is terminated (A) by Buyer or the Company
pursuant to Section 8.01(b), or (B) by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.01(h) and (iii) within 12 months after such termination, the Company 

  
 55 

 
enters into a definitive agreement providing for any transaction contemplated by any Acquisition Proposal (regardless of when made) (which transaction is thereafter consummated) or consummates
any Acquisition Proposal (regardless of when made), then, in any such case, the Company shall pay to Buyer the Company Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds on the date such transaction is consummated. Solely for purposes of this
Section 8.03(c), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Section 1.01, except that all references to 25% therein shall be deemed to be references to 50%; provided that
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.03(c), the Company Termination Fee shall not be payable if the Nonclearance Termination Fee is payable by Buyer to the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 8.03(h). 

(d) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Buyer pursuant to Section 8.01(e), then Buyer shall pay to the Company a sum
of US$30,000,000 (a “Buyer Fee” and the “Buyer Termination Fee”) by wire transfer of same-day funds as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two business days following the date of

due to a Knowing and Material Breach of this Agreement by Buyer or Parent, (ii) all Offer Conditions (other than the conditions specified in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the first paragraph of Annex I) have been satisfied (or, with
respect to certificates to be delivered at the Closing pursuant to Annex I, are capable of being satisfied upon the Closing), (iii) the conditions specified in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the first paragraph of Annex I have been
satisfied or would have been satisfied but for the Knowing and Material Breach of Section 7.01 of this Agreement by Buyer or Parent, and (iv) the financing provided for by the Debt Financing Commitments (or any Alternative Financing) in an
amount no less than US$430,000,000 has been funded, will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, or would have been funded at the Closing but for the Knowing and Material Breach of Section 5.05 or
Section 7.08 of this Agreement by Buyer or Parent, then Buyer shall pay to the Company the Nonclearance Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two business days
following the date of termination of this Agreement). 
 (f) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to
Section 8.01(g) due to a Knowing and Material Breach by Buyer or Parent in any circumstance where the Nonclearance Termination Fee is not payable, then Buyer shall pay to the Company the Buyer Termination Fee by wire transfer of same-day funds
as promptly as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two business days following the date of termination of this Agreement). 
 (g) If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.01(h) due to a Knowing and Material Breach of this Agreement by the Company, then the Company shall pay to Buyer the Company

or Section 8.01(c)(ii), or by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i), and at the time of such termination (i) the conditions specified in clauses (ii) or (iii) of the first paragraph of Annex I hereto shall not have been
satisfied, (ii) the conditions specified in clause (iv) of Annex I hereto (other than those set forth in clause (iv)(a)(i) and (iv)(a)(iii) and those conditions which by their terms can only be satisfied at the Closing itself but as to
which there is no state of facts or circumstances that would reasonably be expected to cause a failure of such conditions as of the Closing) have been satisfied, (iii) there has been no failure of the Company to fulfill its obligations or to
comply with its covenants and other agreements under Section 7.01 of this Agreement that has been a significant factor in the cause of, or resulted in, the failure to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in sub-clause (i) of this clause
(h), then Buyer shall pay a termination fee equal to US$50,000,000 (a “Buyer Fee” and the “Nonclearance Termination Fee”) on or before the fifth business day following such termination by wire transfer of same day
funds to an account designated in writing to Buyer by the Company at least two business days after such termination; provided that the Nonclearance Termination Fee shall only be payable upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 8.01(c)(i) by Buyer or Section 8.01(c)(ii) by Buyer or the Company to the extent that (A) in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i), the legal prohibition is based on applicable Antitrust Laws and such
prohibition shall have become final and nonappealable or (B) in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(ii), any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Offer
pursuant to applicable Antitrust Laws, and such order, decree or ruling shall have become final and nonappealable. 
 (i) No
Company Termination Fee, Buyer Termination Fee, Nonclearance Termination Fee or monetary damages shall be payable by the Company, Buyer or Parent, as applicable, other than as explicitly required by Section 8.03(a) through Section 8.03(h)
above, and in no event shall (1) the Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion; or (2) Buyer be required to pay a Buyer Fee on more than one occasion; or (3) Buyer be required to pay both the

 (j) Subject to Section 9.09 but notwithstanding anything
else to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, (i) the Company’s receipt of the Buyer Termination Fee or Nonclearance Termination Fee, as applicable, pursuant to Section 8.03(d), 8.03(e), 8.03(f) or 8.03(h) shall be the
sole and exclusive remedy of the Company, its Subsidiaries, and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, employees, advisors and representatives against Buyer, Parent and any of their respective former, current, or future shareholders,
controlling persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, assignees, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, Financing Sources or agents or any former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, controlling persons,
managers, members, directors, officers, employees, assignees, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates or agents of any of the foregoing (together, the “Buyer Representatives”) for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the Offer 

  
 57 

 
to be consummated, and upon payment of the Buyer Termination Fee or the Nonclearance Termination Fee, as applicable, by Buyer, none of Buyer, Parent or any Buyer Representative shall have any
further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer’s receipt of the Company Termination Fee, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 8.03(a),
Section 8.03(b), Section 8.03(c) or Section 8.03(g) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Buyer and Parent against the Company, its Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current, or future shareholders, controlling
persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, assignees, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, or agents or any former, current or future general or limited partners, stockholders, controlling persons, managers, members, directors,
officers, employees, assignees, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates or agents of any of the foregoing (together, the “Company Representatives”) for any loss suffered as a result of any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant
or agreement in this Agreement or the failure of the Offer to be consummated, and upon payment of such amounts, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any Company Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or
arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 SECTION 8.04. Amendment. This
Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. 
 SECTION 8.05. Waiver. At
any time prior to the Acceptance Time, either party hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the other
party contained herein or in any document delivered by the other party pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in
writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. The failure of either party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights. No waiver by either party hereto of
any right hereunder shall constitute a waiver of such party’s rights under any other provision of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE IX 

GENERAL PROVISIONS 
 SECTION 9.01. Nonsurvival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall not survive
beyond the earlier of (a) termination of this Agreement or (b) the purchase of Company Shares by Buyer pursuant to the Offer. This Section 9.01 shall not limit any covenant or agreement of the parties which by its terms contemplates
performance after the Closing. The Nondisclosure Agreement shall survive any 

  
 58 

 
termination of this Agreement, and the provisions of such Nondisclosure Agreement shall apply to information and material delivered by the Company or its Subsidiaries hereunder in accordance with
the terms thereof. 
 SECTION 9.02. No Additional Representations. 

(a) Buyer and Parent each acknowledge that it and its representatives and agents have received access to such books, records, facilities,
equipment, contracts and other assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries which it and its representatives and agents have desired or requested to review, and that it and its representatives and agents have had full opportunity to meet with
management of the Company and its Subsidiaries and to discuss the business and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

(b) Buyer and Parent each acknowledge that, except for the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Article IV or
otherwise in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered hereunder, neither the Company nor any other Person on behalf of the Company makes any express or implied representation or warranty with respect to the Company or with respect to any other
information provided to Buyer and Parent in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as explicitly referenced by Sections 8.03(a) through 8.03(h) in respect of breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Article
IV or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Person on behalf of the Company nor any other Person shall be held liable for any actual or alleged damage, liability or loss resulting from the
distribution to Buyer and Parent, or the use by Buyer and Parent of, any such information, including any information, documents, projections, forecasts, Evaluation Material or other material made available to Buyer and Parent in “data
rooms,” management presentations (formal and informational), or in any other form in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 SECTION 9.03. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts (delivery of which may occur via facsimile or as an attachment to an electronic message in “pdf” or
similar format), each of which shall be binding as of the date first written above, and, when delivered, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement and any documents delivered pursuant hereto, and any amendments hereto
or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or as an attachment to an electronic mail message in “pdf” or similar format, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument
and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall
re-execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or electronic mail attachment in “pdf” or similar format to deliver
a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine or as an attachment to an electronic mail message as a defense to the formation of a contract and each

  
 59 

 
such party forever waives any such defense. A facsimile signature or electronically scanned copy of a signature shall constitute and shall be deemed to be sufficient evidence of a Party’s
execution of this Agreement, without necessity of further proof. Each such copy shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart. 

SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 8.02 and 8.03, whether or not the Offer is consummated,
all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring or required to incur such expenses.

SECTION 9.06. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by
any applicable Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of this Agreement and the Offer is not 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 hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original
intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Offer, and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 

SECTION 9.07. Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, together with the Nondisclosure Agreement, the Disclosure Schedule,
and Annex I hereto and the exhibits and schedules hereto, constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the
parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether directly or indirectly, pursuant to an express assignment, a merger, a change in equity ownership, by operation of law or otherwise),
except that Buyer (and each permitted assign of Buyer) may assign all or any of its rights and obligations hereunder to any affiliate of Buyer or Parent that is wholly owned, either directly or indirectly, by Borrower; provided that such
assignment shall not impede or delay the consummation of the Offer or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise adversely affect the rights of the holders of Company Shares under this Agreement; provided
further, that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment not permitted under this Section 9.07 shall be null and void. 
 SECTION 9.08. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or
shall confer upon any other Person (including holders of Company Shares and, 

  
 62 

 
except as set forth in clause (c) below, holders of Company Options) any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, other than (a) with
respect to the provisions of Section 7.04 which shall inure to the benefit of each of the Indemnified Parties (including their respective heirs and representatives) who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof, (b) with respect
to the last sentence of Section 7.08(c) which shall inure to the benefit of each of the Representatives of the Company (including their respective heirs and representatives) who are intended to be third-party beneficiaries thereof, (c) at
the Closing, the rights of the holders of Company Options to receive the Per Share Amount in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (d) solely with respect to the provisions of Sections 8.02, 8.03(j), 9.09, 9.11 and
9.12, the Financing Sources; provided, however, that the rights granted to the holders of Company Options pursuant to the foregoing clause (c) of this Section 9.08 shall only be enforceable on behalf of such holders by the
Company (or any successor in interest thereto) in its sole and absolute discretion. 
 SECTION 9.09. Specific
Performance. 
 (a) The parties hereby acknowledge that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this
Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the Offer or the transactions contemplated hereby) were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree
that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.01 and in all cases subject to the specific requirements set forth in Section 9.09(b) (as it relates to obtaining a remedy contemplated by this
Section 9.09(a) with respect to the Company’s right to specific performance of the obligations of Buyer or Parent, as applicable, to (i) accept for payment Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offering,
(ii) pay for Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offering, and (iii) cause the Equity Financing to be funded) or Section 9.09(c) (as it relates to obtaining a remedy contemplated by this
Section 9.09(a) with respect to the Bridge Take Down), each party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, they are entitled at law or in equity. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of the Company to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, in each case, solely with respect to causing
Buyer or Parent, as applicable, to (i) accept for payment Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offering, (ii) pay for Company Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offering, and
(iii) cause the Equity Financing to be funded and the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated at the Closing, shall be subject to the requirements that (x) all Offer Conditions have been satisfied (or, with respect to
certificates to be delivered at the Closing pursuant to Annex I, are capable of being satisfied upon the Closing), (y) the financing provided for by the Debt Financing Commitments (or any Alternative Financing) in an amount no less than

  
 63 

 
US$430,000,000 has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing, and (z) the Company has irrevocably confirmed that if specific performance
is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing pursuant to Section 2.01(d) will occur. 
 (c) The right of the Company to obtain an injunction, or other appropriate form of specific performance or equitable relief, in each case, solely with respect to causing Buyer to effect a Bridge Take-Down
shall be subject to the requirements set forth in Section 7.08(d). 
 (d) Each of the parties agrees that it will not
oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or
equity. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) under no circumstances will the Company be entitled to, nor will Buyer, Parent or any Financing Source be liable under or in connection with this Agreement or the Offer for, aggregate monetary damages in
excess of the aggregate amount of the Buyer Termination Fee (or, solely in the case of Buyer and solely pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of Section 8.03(e) and Section 8.03(h), the Nonclearance Termination Fee), (2) under
no circumstances will Buyer be entitled to, nor will the Company be liable under or in connection with this Agreement or the Offer for, aggregate monetary damages in excess of the aggregate amount of the Company Termination Fee, and (3) while
the Company may pursue both a grant of specific performance and the payment of either the Buyer Termination Fee or Nonclearance Termination Fee under Section 8.03, under no circumstances shall the Company be permitted or entitled to receive
both a grant of specific performance and any money damages, including all or any portion of the Buyer Termination Fee or Nonclearance Termination Fee, and in no circumstances shall the Company be entitled to receive all or any portion of both the
Buyer Termination Fee and the Nonclearance Termination Fee. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide
any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction. To the extent any party hereto brings an action, suit or proceeding to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement (other than an
action to specifically enforce any provision that expressly survives termination of this Agreement) when expressly available to such party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Termination Date shall automatically be extended to (i) the
twentieth (20th) business day following the resolution of such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) such other time period established by the court presiding over such action, suit or proceeding (it being understood that this
Section 9.09 shall not be deemed to alter, amend, supplement or otherwise modify the terms of any Financing Commitment (including the expiration or termination provisions thereof). 

SECTION 9.10. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence as to the performance of each party’s obligations under this
Agreement.

 SECTION 9.11. Governing Law. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby,
and all disputes between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the facts and circumstances leading to its execution, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of laws provisions or rule of any jurisdiction that would cause the substantive laws of any other jurisdiction to apply. All actions and proceedings arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the facts and circumstances leading to its execution, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be heard and determined in any state or federal court sitting within the County of New York. The parties hereto
hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting within the County of New York for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the facts and circumstances leading to its
execution, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, brought by any party hereto (including any litigation against the Financing Sources arising out of this Agreement or the Financing Commitments) and (b) irrevocably waive, and shall not to
assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Action is
brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Action is improper, or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts. 
 SECTION 9.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY
LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO ITS EXECUTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING ANY LITIGATION AGAINST THE FINANCING SOURCES ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT OR THE FINANCING COMMITMENTS). Each of the parties hereto (a) certifies that 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 that foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement and the Offer, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and
certifications in this Section 9.12.
