The Company shall make available to Parent, as reasonably requested by Parent, the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Closing Cash Schedule, including close-out memos or other forms of written affirmation from vendors that either no more money is due or an amount of money is due that is reflected on the Closing Cash Schedule. If reasonably requested by Parent, reasonable access to the Company’s accountants and counsel at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice will be provided by the Company in order to permit Parent to review the Closing Cash Calculation.

(c) Parent shall have the right to dispute any part of the Closing Cash Calculation by delivering a written notice (for which email will suffice) (a “Dispute Notice”) to that effect to the Company on or prior to 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on the fifth (5th) Business Day following Parent’s receipt of the Closing Cash Schedule (the “Response Time”), which Dispute Notice shall identify in reasonable detail the nature and amounts of any proposed revisions to the proposed Closing Cash Calculation and shall be accompanied by a reasonably detailed explanation for the basis for such revisions.

(d) If, on or prior to the Response Time, Parent notifies the Company in writing that it has no objections to the Closing Cash Calculation or if Parent fails to deliver a Dispute Notice as provided in Section 2.08(c) prior to the Response Time, then the Closing Cash Calculation as set forth in the Closing Cash Schedule shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and shall represent the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(e) If Parent delivers a Dispute Notice on or prior to the Response Time, then Representatives of the Company and Parent shall promptly (and in no event later than one (1) Business Day thereafter) meet and attempt in good faith to resolve the disputed item(s) and negotiate an agreed-upon determination of the Closing Net Cash, which agreed upon Closing Net Cash amount shall be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and shall represent the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement.

(f) If Representatives of the Company and Parent are unable to negotiate an agreed-upon determination of Closing Net Cash as of the Cash Determination Time pursuant to Section 2.08(e) within three (3) Business Days after delivery of the Dispute Notice (or such other period as the Company and Parent may mutually agree upon), then any remaining disagreements as to the calculation of Closing Net Cash shall be referred to for resolution to an impartial nationally or regionally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants other than the Company’s accountants or Parent’s accountants which is jointly selected by the Company and Parent (the “Accounting Firm”). The Company and Parent shall promptly deliver to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Closing Cash Schedule and the Dispute Notice, and the Company and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to make its determination within three (3) Business Days of accepting its selection. The Company and Parent shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any materials related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm; provided that no such presentation or discussion shall occur without the presence of a Representative of each of the Company and Parent. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disagreements submitted to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm’s determination of Closing Net Cash shall be within the range of values for Closing Net Cash asserted by the Company and Parent in the dispute. The determination of the amount of Closing Net Cash made by the Accounting Firm shall be made in writing delivered to each of the Company and Parent, shall be final and binding on the Company and Parent and shall (absent manifest error) be deemed to have been finally determined for purposes of this Agreement and to represent the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time for purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Company and Parent in the same proportion that the disputed amount of the Closing Net Cash that was unsuccessfully disputed by such party (as finally determined by the Accounting Firm) bears to the total disputed amount of the Closing Net Cash amount and the Company’s portion of such fees and expenses shall be included in the calculation of its transaction expenses. If this Section 2.08(f) applies as to the determination of the Closing Net Cash at the Cash Determination Time, upon resolution of the matter in accordance with this Section 2.08(f), the parties shall not be required to determine Closing Net Cash again.

Section 2.09 Fractional ADSs. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no fractional Parent ADSs shall be issued in the Merger. Each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise have been entitled to receive as a result of the Merger a fraction of a Parent ADS (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, in the aggregate that number of whole Parent ADSs resulting from the application of the Exchange Ratio as described in Section 2.03 or Section 2.06 as is rounded to the nearest whole Parent ADS, with no cash being paid for any fractional Parent ADSs eliminated by such rounding.

Section 2.10 Withholding Rights. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or non-U.S. Tax law. To the extent amounts so deducted and withheld are paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority (including in circumstances where an equivalent amount of cash is paid over in connection with the deduction or withholding of any non-cash consideration), such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which the deduction and withholding were made.

Section 2.11 Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, on the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if reasonably required by the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a customary bond issued for lost, stolen or destroyed stock certificates, in such reasonable amount as the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall, if such holder has otherwise delivered a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal, issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as contemplated by this Article II (including Section 2.04).

Section 2.12 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company) constitutes, and at the Closing the CVR Agreement will constitute in relation to Parent, a valid, legal and binding agreement of each of Parent and Merger Sub enforceable against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms (subject to the Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions).

(d) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Parent or the Board of Directors of Parent from (x) complying with either Rule 14e-2(a) under the 1934 Act or the U.K. Takeover Code, in each case, with regard to a Parent Acquisition Proposal, or (y) making any disclosure to the shareholders of Parent, if required by the U.K. Takeover Code, the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers, or otherwise if the Board of Directors of Parent determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with Applicable Law or inconsistent with the application of the U.K. Takeover Code; provided, that any such action or disclosure that constitutes a Parent Adverse Recommendation Change shall be made only in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Section 6.04.

Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause, unless otherwise required by Law, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation to contain provisions no less favorable to the Indemnitees with respect to limitation of liabilities of directors and officers and indemnification than are in the Company Organizational Documents as in effect as of the date of this Agreement, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the Indemnitees.

The Company shall have the right prior to the Effective Time to purchase a six (6)-year prepaid “tail policy” on terms and conditions providing at least substantially equivalent benefits as the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to matters existing or occurring prior to the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby, so long as the effective annual premium under such policy does not exceed the Maximum Premium. If such prepaid “tail policy” has been obtained by the Company, it shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations to obtain insurance pursuant to this Section 7.13 and the Surviving Corporation shall cause such policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and to honor all of its obligations thereunder.

The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 7.13 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect the rights of any Indemnitee to whom this Section 7.13 applies unless (x) such termination or modification is required by applicable Law or (y) the affected Indemnitee shall have consented in writing to such termination or modification. The Indemnitees to whom this Section 7.13 applies shall be third-party beneficiaries of this Section 7.13. From and after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation agrees to (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) pay or advance, upon written request of the Indemnitee, all reasonable costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the Indemnitee in enforcing the indemnity and other rights provided in this Section 7.13; provided that the Indemnitee to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee was not entitled to indemnification under this Section 7.13.

(e) If any of Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving company, partnership or other Person of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.13.

Each of Parent and the Company shall allow the other party to fully participate in the negotiation of the Concurrent Financing and shall keep the other party reasonably informed on a current basis and in reasonable detail of the status of its efforts to arrange the Concurrent Financing and provide to the other party copies of all definitive documents related to the Concurrent Financing to the extent it receives them. Each party shall give the other party prompt written notice of the receipt by such party of any written notice from any Person with respect to any breach, termination or repudiation by any party to any definitive document related to the Concurrent Financing.

Section 7.16 Post Closing Matters; Governance. The Parent Board will consist of such number and composition of directors as shall be reasonably determined by Parent; provided that, subject to Nasdaq independence requirements and Parent’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, one director of the Parent Board shall be an individual designated by the Company immediately prior to the Closing.

Section 9.03 Termination Payments.

(a) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company or Parent: (i) pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iii) (“No Company Stockholder Approval”), the Company shall pay to Parent (or its designee), in cash and by way of compensation upon termination of this Agreement, a payment in an amount equal to the sum of Parent’s aggregate fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (the “Company No Vote Payment”); provided, that such amount shall be payable only if the condition to termination under Section 9.01(b)(iv) (“No Parent Shareholder Approval”) has not been satisfied at the time of such termination; or (ii) pursuant to Section 9.01(b)(iv) (“No Parent Stockholder Approval”), Parent shall pay to the Company (or its designee), in cash and by way of compensation upon termination of this Agreement, a payment in an amount equal to the sum of Company’s aggregate fees and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement (the “Parent No Vote Payment” and collectively with the Company No Vote Payment, the “No Vote Payments”); provided, that such amount shall be payable only if the condition to termination under Section 9.01(b)(iii) (“No Company Shareholder Approval”) has not been satisfied at the time of such termination.

(b) Any payment of a No Vote Payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent or the Company, as applicable, as promptly as practicable when due.

(c) The Parties agree and understand that (x) in no event shall either the Company or Parent be required to pay a No Vote Payment on more than one occasion, and (y) except in the case of fraud or any willful and material breach by the other Party of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, in no event shall either Parent or the Company be entitled, pursuant to this Section 9.03, to receive an amount greater than the applicable No Vote Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or any willful and material breach by the other Party of any covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, if Parent or the Company receives a No Vote Payment pursuant to this Section 9.03, such payment shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the receiving Party against the paying Party and its Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future partners, equityholders, managers, members, Affiliates and Representatives, and none of the paying Party, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective former, current or future partners, equityholders, managers, members, Affiliates or Representatives shall have any further liability or obligation, in each case relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby, that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement and that any amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.03 does not constitute a penalty. Accordingly, if the Company or Parent fails to promptly pay the applicable No Vote Payment due pursuant to this Section 9.03, the Company or Parent shall also pay any out-of-pocket costs and expenses (together with any irrecoverable VAT incurred thereon, and including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by the Party entitled to such payment in connection with a legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment for such amount against the Party failing to promptly pay such amount. Any No Vote Payment not paid when due pursuant to this Section 9.03 shall bear interest from the date such amount is due until the date paid at a rate equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect on the date of such payment.

(d) Any Company No Vote Payment or Parent No Vote Payment shall be VAT exclusive.

(e) Without prejudice to Section 9.03(d), the Parties hereto intend that any payment of a Company No Vote Payment or a Parent No Vote Payment, being in each case compensatory in nature, shall not be treated (in whole or in part) as consideration for a supply for the purposes of VAT and, accordingly, the Parties shall file their relevant VAT returns on the basis that the payment of any such Company No Vote Payment or Parent No Vote Payment falls outside the scope of VAT.

Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 10.13 Specific Performance. The Parties’ rights in this Section 10.13 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable harm would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law (a) for any breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement or (b) in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms.

In no event shall the Company or Parent be entitled to both (i) specific performance to cause the other Party to consummate the Closing and (ii) the payment of the applicable No Vote Payment.
