The parties each desire the Acquisition of the Company by Bidco.

The Company Directors intend to recommend the Acquisition to the Company Shareholders.

The parties have agreed that the Acquisition will be implemented by means of a scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Act, although Bidder may, in the circumstances and subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement, elect to implement the Acquisition by means of a Takeover Offer.

The Scheme will result in Bidco acquiring the entire issued and to be issued share capital of the Company (other than the Excluded Shares).

Conditions

The obligation of the parties to complete the Scheme (or, if Bidder elects to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer pursuant to Clause 5.7, the Takeover Offer) is subject to satisfaction or, where permitted or required under this Agreement, waiver of the Conditions by Bidder or the Company, as applicable. Bidder shall appear by counsel at the Court Hearing (either individually or jointly with the Company) to undertake to be bound by the Scheme following the satisfaction (or, where permitted or required under this Agreement, waiver by Bidder or the Company, as applicable) of the Conditions (excluding any Condition capable of satisfaction only at or after the Court Hearing).

Bidder undertakes that by 9.00 a.m. on the date of the Court Hearing, it shall deliver a notice in writing to the Company either: (i) confirming the satisfaction or waiver of all Conditions; or (ii) confirming its intention to invoke a Condition and, if (ii), it shall in such notice identify the Condition or Conditions which it considers it is entitled to invoke and provide reasonable details of the event which has occurred, or circumstance which has arisen, which it considers entitle it to invoke that Condition or those Conditions.

Bidder undertakes to the Company to keep the Company informed promptly of the progress towards satisfaction (or otherwise) of the Conditions and, if Bidder is, or becomes, aware of any matter which might reasonably be considered to be material in the context of the satisfaction or waiver of any of the Conditions, Bidder will as soon as reasonably practicable make the substance of any such matter known to the Company and, so far as it is aware of the same, provide such details and further information as the Company may reasonably request, provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall oblige Bidder to provide any information to the Company which (i) is personally identifiable information of a director, officer or employee of Bidder or its subsidiary undertakings, except to the Company’s Advisers on an external counsel basis, or (ii) Bidder is not permitted to provide pursuant to applicable Law or contractual obligation (provided, that, Bidder shall use reasonable endeavours to make substitute arrangements or permit such disclosure in a manner that would not violate such restrictions).

The Company undertakes to Bidder to keep Bidder informed promptly of (i) the progress towards obtaining the Clearances to which Clause 4.7 applies and, if the Company is, or becomes, aware of any matter which might reasonably be considered to be material in the context of obtaining such Clearances, the Company will as soon as reasonably practicable make the substance of any such matter known to Bidder and, so far as it is aware of the same, provide such details and further information as Bidder may reasonably request and (ii) it becomes aware of the occurrence or existence or any fact, event or circumstance that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect or would cause or constitute a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement contained herein, provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall oblige the Company to provide any information to Bidder which is (i) personally identifiable information of a director, officer or employee of the Company or its subsidiary undertakings, except to Bidder’s Advisers on an external counsel basis, or (ii) the Company is not permitted to provide pursuant to applicable Law or contractual obligation (provided, that, the Company shall use reasonable endeavours to make substitute arrangements or permit such disclosure in a manner that would not violate such restrictions).

Bidder shall be responsible for contacting and corresponding with Governmental Authorities in relation to the Clearances for which Bidder (either alone or jointly with the Company) is required to apply, including those set forth in Schedule V, including preparing and submitting all necessary filings, notifications and submissions as soon as reasonably practicable. Bidder shall consult with the Company to the extent reasonably practicable and keep the Company updated as to progress towards obtaining such Clearances, including by taking the steps set out in Clause 4.9.

The Company undertakes to cooperate with Bidder in relation to the Clearances for which Bidder (either alone or jointly with the Company) is required to apply and to assist Bidder in communicating with any Governmental Authority in relation to such Clearances (including by submitting any necessary filings, notifications and submissions) and promptly to provide such information and assistance to Bidder as Bidder may reasonably require for the purposes of obtaining any such Clearance and for the purpose of making a submission, filing or notification to any Governmental Authority in connection with any such Clearance as soon as reasonably practicable.

The Company shall be responsible for contacting and corresponding with Governmental Authorities in relation to the Clearances for which the Company alone is required to apply, including preparing and submitting all necessary filings, notifications and submissions as soon as reasonably practicable. The Company shall consult with Bidder to the extent reasonably practicable and keep Bidder updated as to progress towards obtaining such Clearances, including by taking the steps set out in Clause 4.9.

Bidder undertakes to cooperate with the Company in relation to the Clearances for which the Company alone is required to apply and to assist the Company in communicating with any Governmental Authority in relation to such Clearances (including by submitting any necessary filings, notifications and submissions) and promptly to provide such information and assistance to the Company as the Company may reasonably require for the purposes of obtaining any such Clearance and for the purpose of making a submission, filing or notification to any Governmental Authority in connection with any such Clearance as soon as reasonably practicable.

Without prejudice to Clauses 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8, each party undertakes to the other party:

to provide the other party, as promptly as reasonably practicable and in any event before any applicable deadline or due date, all such information as may reasonably be required by the other party to assist it in determining in which jurisdictions any merger control, Health Law or other filing with a Governmental Authority may be necessary or desirable for the purpose of obtaining the Clearances and to provide all such other assistance as may reasonably be required by the other party in connection with obtaining the Clearances for which that party is, pursuant to Clauses 4.5 and 4.7, responsible for applying, including assistance in connection with such pre-notification contacts with Governmental Authorities as the other party reasonably considers desirable;

to take all such steps and make as promptly as reasonably practicable and within applicable deadlines and due dates such filings with all appropriate Governmental Authorities, jointly or separately, as are necessary or reasonably desirable to obtain the Clearances;

subject to applicable Law, promptly to notify the other party and provide copies of any significant communications with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining the Clearances, provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall oblige any party to provide any information to the other parties which is personally identifiable information of a director, officer or employee of the disclosing party, except to the other party’s Advisers on an external counsel basis;

subject to applicable Law, to use all reasonable endeavours to procure that each party and its Representatives are able to attend any significant meetings or hearings and participate in any substantive discussions with any Governmental Authority in connection with obtaining the Clearances; provided that Bidder shall be permitted to take the lead in all joint meetings and communications with Governmental Authorities in connection with the Clearances;

if necessary, negotiate with any Governmental Authority in relation to any undertakings, commitments and/or assurances which may be necessary to obtain the Clearances; and

in the case of Bidder only, it shall use its reasonable endeavours, and take any and all steps necessary, to obtain the Clearances as soon as practicable and in any event, prior to the date of the Court Hearing as set out in the Indicative Timetable, or such later date as may be agreed between the parties in writing. For purposes of the foregoing, “reasonable endeavours” shall require Bidder to propose, negotiate, agree to or effect, by undertaking, consent agreement, hold separate agreement or otherwise: (i) the sale, divestiture, licensing or disposition of all or any part of the businesses or assets of the Company, Bidder and/or Bidco; (ii) the termination of any existing contractual rights, relationships and obligations, or entry into or amendment of any licensing arrangements; (iii) the taking of any action that, after consummation of the Acquisition, would limit the freedom of action of, or impose any other requirement on, Bidder with respect to the operation of the business, or the assets, of the Company, Bidder and/or Bidco; (iv) defending through litigation on the merits, including appeals, any claim asserted in any court or other proceeding by any party, including any Governmental Authority, in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any decree, injunction, order or judgment that seeks to or could prevent or otherwise make it less likely that the Acquisition will occur by the Long Stop Date; and (v) any other remedial action whatsoever that may be necessary so as to permit the Acquisition to occur by the Long Stop Date. The Company shall not be entitled to state or suggest that Bidder is prepared to provide or agree to particular undertakings or requirements without the prior consent of Bidder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Bidder shall not be required to sell, divest, hold separate, license or agree to any other structural or conduct remedy with respect to, any operations, divisions, businesses, product lines, customers, assets or relationships of:

Bidder in any circumstance; or

the Company, which would require the sale, divestiture, holding separate or license of the Product Candidates to any third party or materially impair the benefits expected by Bidder as of the date of this Agreement to be derived by Bidder from the acquisition of the Product Candidates.

The Company shall adjourn the Scheme to a date agreed with Bidder to the extent that any of the Conditions set out at paragraph (c) (Competition law and regulatory approvals) of Part A of the Conditions have not been satisfied (or, where permitted or required under this Agreement, waived by Bidder or the Company, as applicable) by 9 a.m. on the date of the Court Hearing. Such adjournments shall continue until the Long Stop Date at the request of Bidder.

Implementation of the Acquisition

Subject to Bidder discharging its obligations under Clause 6.1, the Company shall file with the SEC the Circular containing a preliminary proxy statement as soon as reasonably practicable and in any event no later than 15 days after the date of this Agreement, or such later date as the parties agree in writing. The Company shall provide Bidder with reasonable opportunity to review the Circular before it is filed with the SEC and the Company shall give reasonable consideration to all additions, deletions, or changes thereto suggested by Bidder. Thereafter, the Company shall:

promptly notify Bidder of the receipt of any comments of the SEC with respect to the Circular and shall respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any such comments after providing Bidder reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any draft correspondence or revised Circular and giving reasonable consideration to such comments; and

file with the SEC the Circular containing a definitive proxy statement and disseminate such Circular to Company Shareholders as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Court hearing to convene the Scheme, and in any event within 15 Business Days following the date it has cleared comments received from the SEC, if any.

The conditions to the Scheme set out in the Circular shall be the same as the Conditions set out in the Announcement.

The Company will procure that the Circular includes the Company Board Recommendation.

The Acquisition shall entail the acquisition by Bidder of the entire issued and, to the extent issued in compliance with Clause 10.1.1(d), to be issued share capital of the Company (other than the Excluded Shares) by way of the Scheme.

Bidder will undertake to be bound by the Scheme.

The Company undertakes to use all reasonable endeavours to implement the Scheme in accordance with the terms of, and the timetable set out in, the Announcement and the Circular, and to consult with Bidder in relation to such implementation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each party hereto shall use all reasonable endeavours to: (i) make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made or given by such party pursuant to any Material Contract in connection with the Acquisition and (ii) seek any consent required to be obtained pursuant to any Material Contract by such party in connection with the Acquisition; and (iii) seek to lift any restraint, injunction or other legal bar to the Acquisition brought by any third person against such party.

Notwithstanding Clause 5.4, Bidder may elect, with the prior written consent of the Company (in such case, an “Agreed Switch”) to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer (rather than by way of the Scheme). In such circumstances, the Code Committee or the Code Expert shall determine the timetable for the Takeover Offer that shall apply.

In the event of an Agreed Switch:

the provisions of Schedule IV shall apply;

the parties agree that the Takeover Offer will be conducted in compliance with US tender offer rules, including the requirement that such Takeover Offer be open for a period of at least 20 Business Days;

the acceptance condition shall be set at not less than 90 per cent. of the Company Shares (such figure shall include only Company Shares which Bidco and its Affiliates have acquired or agreed to acquire and shall not include Company Shares in respect of any other Concert Party of Bidco);

Neither Bidder nor its subsidiaries or Representatives shall take any action which would cause the Takeover Offer not to proceed, to lapse or to be withdrawn in each case for non-fulfilment of the acceptance condition to the Takeover Offer for as long as the Takeover Offer is open for acceptance;

Bidder shall effect such amendments as are necessary or desirable by reason of the Agreed Switch to the existing filings, notifications and submissions made by it in order to obtain the Clearances to which Clause 4.5 applies (or shall make appropriate supplementary filings, notifications or submissions);

the Company shall effect such amendments as are necessary or desirable by reason of the Agreed Switch to the existing filings, notifications and submissions made by it in order to obtain the Clearances to which Clause 4.7 applies (or shall make appropriate supplementary filings, notifications or submissions); and

Bidder shall keep the Company informed, on a regular basis and in any event when next informed by the Receiving Agent following a request from the Company, of the number of the Company Shares in respect of which the Company Shareholders have validly returned their forms of acceptance or withdrawal forms or incorrectly completed their withdrawal or acceptance forms and the identity of such shareholders.

In the event of an Agreed Switch, this Agreement shall continue in force until terminated pursuant to Clause 12, and shall be construed as far as possible to give effect to the intentions of the parties under this Agreement (and the Code Committee or Code Expert may give any direction for this Agreement to be amended so that it continues to apply, mutatis mutandis, in relation to the Takeover Offer, and for the Conditions to be modified appropriately).

In the event of an Agreed Switch, Bidder undertakes to implement any Takeover Offer in accordance with the Code; provided that this undertaking shall automatically terminate if, while Bidder’s Takeover Offer remains open for acceptance (or in the period prior to the posting of Bidder’s Offer Document), a third party has announced a firm intention to make an offer for the Company (whether such offer is to be structured as a merger, amalgamation, takeover offer or scheme of arrangement) that is recommended by the Company Directors, but the Company Directors have not obtained that third party’s undertaking to comply with the Code on the same terms as set out in this Agreement at the time of such announcement.

Save as otherwise permitted by Clause 10.3 of this Agreement, the Company shall not, and shall procure that none of its subsidiaries or Representatives shall, knowingly take any action that may result in the Acquisition being frustrated or in Company Shareholders being denied the opportunity to decide on its merits, including any actions set out in rule 21.1 of the Code.

Documentation, Information and Undertakings

Bidder undertakes to provide promptly to the Company all such information about itself, the Bidder Group and the Bidder Directors and their Concert Parties as may reasonably be requested by the Company for the purpose of inclusion in the Circular (“Bidder Information”) and to provide such other co-operation and assistance as may reasonably be required in connection with the preparation of the Circular provided that the Company submits, or procures the submission of drafts and revised drafts of the Circular to Bidder for review and considers its reasonable comments in relation thereto.

The Company undertakes to:

prior to the General Meeting and Court Meeting, keep Bidder informed of the number of proxy votes received in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the General Meeting and the Court Meeting and promptly to provide Bidder with details of any material changes to the Company’s shareholder and other statutory registers which occur prior to the Effective Date;

co-operate with and provide such details to Bidder and its Advisers in relation to the Company Share Plans and Awards thereunder as Bidder or its Advisers may reasonably request and to communicate with participants of the Company Share Plans as necessary or desirable to implement the Acquisition in the manner contemplated by this Agreement (including the provisions of Schedule III);

co-ordinate with Bidder for the purpose of obtaining any Tax clearances that Bidder may reasonably require to be obtained in connection with the Scheme and the Acquisition, to provide drafts of any such application for clearance and take into account Bidder’s reasonable comments and not to despatch any application for such clearance without the prior written consent of Bidder;

provide, and procure that each member of the Company Group provides, promptly to Bidder and its Advisers such information, documentation and access to the management, employees, facilities and assets of the Company Group and its Advisers and independent auditors as is reasonably requested by Bidder for the purposes of implementing the Acquisition, post-Acquisition planning, verifying the Company’s business plan and preparing or making any filing, notification or submission with a Tax Authority or Governmental Authority in connection with the Acquisition; and

take any action not otherwise contemplated under this Agreement and which is reasonably requested by Bidder to implement the Acquisition.

Bidder undertakes to notify the Company promptly of: (i) any changes in the information disclosed in any document or announcement published by Bidder in connection with the Acquisition which are material in the context of that document or announcement; and (ii) any material new information which may be relevant to a Company Shareholder in considering the merits of the Acquisition, and agrees that any such information may be published by the Company if (a) it determines that such disclosure is necessary to ensure that all Company Shareholders have sufficient information to consider the merits of the Acquisition and (b) Bidder has consented to the content and form of the disclosure (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

None of the information supplied or to be supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Circular will, at the date it is first mailed to the Company Shareholders, or at the time of the General Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made. The Circular will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. No representation is made by the Company with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by Bidder or Bidco for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.

None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Bidder for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Circular will, at the date it is first mailed to the Company Shareholders, or at the time of the General Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein not false or misleading in light of the circumstances under which they are made. No representation is made by Bidder with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by the Company for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.

Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance

From and after the Effective Date, Bidder shall cause the Company and each of its subsidiaries to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:

to indemnify, defend and hold harmless any directors, managers and officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any person who was a director, manager or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the six years prior to the Effective Date (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”) against any Liability arising in connection with or in relation to such D&O Indemnified Party’s position as a director, manager or officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries at least to the extent such D&O Indemnified Party is indemnified immediately prior to the Effective Date pursuant to the Articles or any deed of indemnity or other agreement between such D&O Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its subsidiaries; and

to maintain in effect for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Date, (i) if available, the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Date for the benefit of any D&O Indemnified Party or (ii) to provide substitute policies of at least the same coverage and amounts and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties when compared to the insurance maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement); or

to obtain as of the Effective Date “tail” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies with a claims period of six (6) years from the Effective Date with at least the same coverage and amounts, and containing terms and conditions that are not less advantageous to the D&O Indemnified Parties when compared to the insurance maintained by the Company and its subsidiaries as of the date of this Agreement,

The obligations of Bidder and the Company and its subsidiaries under this Clause 6.6 shall not be terminated, amended or modified in any manner so as to materially adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party (including such person’s successors, heirs and legal representatives) to whom this Clause 6.6 applies without the written consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Clause 6.6 applies shall be third party beneficiaries of this Clause 6.6, and this Clause 6.6 shall be enforceable by such D&O Indemnified Parties and their respective successors, heirs and legal representatives and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Bidder and the Company and its subsidiaries).

If, following the Effective Date, the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other corporation or entity and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Clause 6.6.

The rights of the D&O Indemnified Parties under this Clause 6.6 shall be in addition to any rights such D&O Indemnified Parties may have under the articles of association or other comparable organisational documents of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or applicable Law, and Bidder shall, and shall cause the Company and each of its subsidiaries to, honour and perform under all indemnification agreements entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, as applicable, as in effect on the date of this Agreement and to the extent set out in Schedule V.

If any supplemental circular, proxy statement (or related materials) or document is required to be published by the Company in connection with the Acquisition or, subject to the prior written consent of Bidder, any variation or amendment to the Acquisition (a “Supplement”), Bidder shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide such co-operation and information (including such information as is necessary for the Supplement to comply with all applicable legal and regulatory provisions) as may be required or reasonably requested by the Company in order to finalise the relevant Supplement (such information also being “Bidder Information”). The Company shall submit, or procure the submission of drafts and revised drafts of the Supplement to Bidder in reasonable time for review and shall consider Bidder’s reasonable comments in relation thereto.

If the Company provides Bidder such information and cooperation as may be required or reasonably be requested by Bidder in connection therewith (any dispute in that regard being determined by the Code Expert in accordance with Schedule IV), where Bidder elects to implement the Acquisition by way of a Takeover Offer, Bidder shall prepare the Offer Document, and any required prospectus, circular or document (together, the “Bidder Offer Documents”) and shall use all reasonable endeavours to cause any prospectus or registration statement to be approved for publication and declared effective by the SEC (in the case of a registration statement). In preparing the Bidder Offer Documents, Bidder shall submit, or procure the submission of drafts and revised drafts of, the Bidder Offer Documents to the Company for review, and shall consider the Company’s reasonable comments in relation thereto.

Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to the Acquirers an extract of the resolutions of the directors pursuant to which the Acquisition was approved and the Company Board Recommendation was given.

On the Effective Date, the Company shall deliver resignation letters in the Agreed Form from the directors and/or secretary (if any) of the applicable members of the Company Group the identity of whom Bidder notifies the Company prior to the Effective Date.

At or immediately prior to the Effective Date (subject to the Effective Date taking place), the Company will procure that at a duly convened meeting of the Company Board (or a duly appointed committee thereof) it will be resolved that:

the Acquisition and the Scheme will be approved for registration at Companies House and in the Company’s shareholder and other statutory registers;

If at any time during the Relevant Period, the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their Representatives receives an unsolicited bona fide written Acquisition Proposal from any person, which Acquisition Proposal was made or renewed on or after the date of this Agreement and did not result from a material breach of this Clause 10.2,

after providing notice to Bidder pursuant to clause 10.2.3, the Company and its Representatives may contact such person solely to clarify the terms and conditions thereof; and

if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its Financial Advisers and outside legal counsel, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal and the failure to take such action would be in breach of their fiduciary duties or would violate their obligations under the Act, then the Company and its Representatives may:

furnish, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, information (including non-public information) with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries to the person who has made such Acquisition Proposal; provided that the Company shall, as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 24 hours), provide to Bidder any non-public

During the Relevant Period, the Company shall: (i) promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Bidder if any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to an Acquisition Proposal are received by the Company or its subsidiaries, including the identity of any third party that makes such an inquiry proposal or offer, and provide to Bidder a copy of any written Acquisition Proposal (including any proposed term sheet, letter of intent, implementation agreement, co-operation agreement, acquisition agreement or similar agreement with respect thereto) and a summary of any material unwritten terms and conditions thereof; (ii) keep Bidder reasonably informed of any material developments, discussions or negotiations regarding any Acquisition Proposal permitted by this Agreement on a prompt basis (and in any event within 24 hours of such material development, discussion or negotiation); and (iii) to respond promptly to any reasonable requests made by Bidder in light of such information.

Nothing in this Clause 10.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A promulgated under the Exchange Act, including any “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or (ii) making any disclosure to the Company Shareholders that is required by applicable Law; provided that any such disclosure (other than a “stop, look and listen” communication made in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f)) will be deemed to be a Company Adverse Change Recommendation unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Company Board Recommendation in such disclosure; provided further that this Clause 10.2.4 will not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, except to the extent permitted by Clause 10.3.2.

The Company agrees that in the event any of its subsidiaries or any Representative of the Company or its subsidiaries takes any action which, if taken by the Company, would constitute a breach of this Clause 10.2, the Company shall be deemed to be in breach of this Clause 10.2.

Company Board Recommendation:

Subject to Clause 10.3.2, the Company Board shall not:

(i) withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Bidder), or publicly propose to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Bidder), the Company Board Recommendation; or (ii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this Clause 10.3.1(a) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Change Recommendation”); or

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time during the Relevant Period, if the Company or any of its subsidiaries has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal, which did not result from a material breach of Clause 10.2 from any person that has not been withdrawn and after consultation with its Financial Advisers and outside legal counsel the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal,

the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation; and/or

the Company may terminate this Agreement pursuant to Clause 12.1.2 and without prejudice to the Compensatory Payment, and implement such Superior Proposal,

the Company shall have given Bidder prior written notice of its intention to consider making a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminating this Agreement pursuant to Clause 12.1.2 at least four (4) Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation or termination (a “Determination Notice”) (which notice and any public disclosure thereof that is required by Law shall not constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or termination) and Bidder has not elected during such four (4) Business Day period to negotiate in good faith with respect to any revisions to the terms of the Acquisition or another proposal to the extent proposed by Bidder so that the terms proposed by Bidder are at least as favourable as the competing Acquisition Proposal (the Bidder’s revised Acquisition Proposal, being the “Matching Acquisition Proposal”); and

(A) the Company shall have provided to Bidder information with respect to such Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Clause 10.2.3; and (B) after giving effect to the proposals made by Bidder during such period, if any, after consultation with financial advisers or outside legal counsel, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal.

If Bidder delivers a Matching Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Clause 10.3.2, the Company Board shall deliver a revised Company Board Recommendation in respect of Bidder’s Matching Acquisition Proposal, and the terms of this Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis.

Unless such Acquisition Proposal as is referred to in Clause 10.3.2 proposes a further Superior Proposal following a Matching Acquisition Proposal, within four Business Days of the Matching Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall, and shall procure its Affiliates and Representatives to, terminate all discussions with such party.

The parties further agree that, without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available to the Acquirers, the Acquirers shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in relation to any breach or prospective breach of the undertakings in Clause 10, it being acknowledged that an award of damages may not be an adequate remedy for such a breach.

The Company agrees with the Acquirers to procure that its subsidiaries and each of its and their respective Representatives is made aware of and complies with each of the undertakings contained in Clause 10.

Bidder agrees that the satisfaction of any Awards subject to, and in accordance with, Schedule III shall be permitted.

The Company shall as promptly as reasonably practicable notify Bidder in writing (and shall thereafter keep Bidder informed on a current basis with respect to), and shall give Bidder the opportunity to participate in the defence and settlement of any litigation related to the Acquisition or related transactions, including the right to review and comment on all filings and responses to be made by the Company and to attend any negotiations and discussions with third parties related thereto. The Company shall not agree to settle any such litigations without Bidder’s prior written consent.

During the Relevant Period, the Company shall cooperate with Bidder and use reasonable best endeavours to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under Laws and rules and policies of Nasdaq to enable the delisting by the Company of the Company Shares from Nasdaq and the deregistration of the Company Shares in accordance with the Exchange Act promptly after the Effective Date.

by the Company, by written notice to Bidder, if Bidder or Bidco breaches any of its representations and warranties set out in Clause 11 or fails to perform any covenant or obligation in this Agreement on the part of Bidder or Bidco, in each case, if such breach or failure would reasonably be expected to prevent Bidder or Bidco from consummating the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such breach or failure cannot be cured by Bidder or Bidco, as applicable, by the Long Stop Date, or if capable of being cured in such time period, shall not have been cured within 30 days of the date Bidder gives the Company written notice of such breach or failure to perform; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Clause 12.1.5 if the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation hereunder; or

by either Bidder or the Company, by written notice to the other, if the Effective Date has not occurred by the Long Stop Date,

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement which are expressly provided to survive termination in Clause 12.5, and without prejudice to any liability of any party in respect of any antecedent breach hereof or to any accrued rights of any party hereto, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Clause 12, this Agreement shall terminate and there shall be no other liability between the Company, on the one hand, or Bidder or Bidco, on the other hand.

Bidder agrees that Rule 35 of the Code shall apply notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the withdrawal or lapse of the Acquisition provided that Bidder will not be bound by (i) Rule 35 in the event any of the circumstances referred to in Note 1(a)(i)-(iv) occurs (provided, however that any determination of whether there has been a material change of circumstances will in the absence of agreement between the Parties, be made by the Code Expert) or (ii) Rule 35.4 of the Code following termination of this Agreement where the Company Directors have either: (i) not obtained that competing offeror’s undertaking to be bound by Rule 35.4 of the Code in connection with its Acquisition Proposal (“Competing Bidder Undertaking”); or (ii) waived or released or is not taking reasonable steps to enforce, any actual or threatened breach of, the Competing Bidder Undertaking, in accordance with its terms.

The Company undertakes that, prior to any adjournment of the Court Meeting or the General Meeting or any delay of the Court Hearing beyond the expected date for such meeting or hearing (as the case may be) as set out in the Circular, it will seek an undertaking from any competing offeror in respect of a then existing Acquisition Proposal to:

clarify its intentions with respect to its Acquisition Proposal by no later than seven days prior to any proposed date for such adjourned Court Meeting or General Meeting or delayed Court Hearing;

in the event that a competitive situation between such competing offeror and Bidder continues to exist in the later stage of the offer period and such competing offeror has submitted an Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board acting reasonably believes may lead to a Superior Proposal, submit to an auction procedure, the rules of which shall be determined by the Code Expert; and

be bound by Rule 35 of the Code, as if it applied to the Company.

The Confidentiality Agreement and Clauses 1, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 shall survive termination of this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement and no party shall have any liability other than for fraud or wilful and material breach of this Agreement prior to termination.

No party shall have any right to terminate this Agreement, whether under this Agreement or otherwise, except as expressly set out in Clause 12.1 (and if, by operation of law, any party has such a right, it undertakes not to exercise such right).

Compensatory Payment

In the event that this Agreement is terminated:

by the Company pursuant to Clause 12.1.2;

by Bidder pursuant to Clauses 12.1.4(a), (b) or (e); or

by Bidder or the Company pursuant to Clause 12.1.6 or by Bidder pursuant to Clauses 12.1.3(c), 12.1.4(d) or 12.1.4(f) and (i) any person shall have publicly disclosed a bona fide Acquisition Proposal after the date hereof and prior to such termination, which Acquisition Proposal has not been publicly withdrawn prior to such termination and (ii) within twelve months of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be a different Acquisition Proposal than the one outstanding as of the termination date) is announced and becomes or is declared wholly unconditional or otherwise becomes effective or is completed anytime thereafter;

then, in any such event under Clause 13.1, the Company (or the successor to, or acquirer of, the Company) will pay to Bidder, an amount equal to USD 8,773,855 (inclusive of any applicable VAT) (the “Compensatory Payment”) (x) in the case of Clause 13.1.1, substantially concurrently with such termination, (y) in the case of Clause 13.1.2, within two Business Days following such termination and (z) in the case of Clause 13.1.3, within two Business Days after the Acquisition Proposal becomes or is declared wholly unconditional or otherwise becomes effective or is completed. The parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) at the date of this Agreement it is not possible to ascertain the amount of the overall loss that the Bidder may incur in the circumstances in which the Compensatory Payment is payable; and (ii) the Compensatory Payment represents a genuine estimate by the parties of the amount of the overall loss that the Bidder would incur in such circumstances and is proportionate to the legitimate interests of Acquirers in the enforcement of the obligations pursuant to Clause 13. All sums payable under this Clause 13 shall be paid in the form of an electronic funds transfer for same day value to such bank as may be notified to the Company by Bidder and shall be paid in full free from any deduction or withholding whatsoever and without regard to any Lien, right of set-off, counter-claim or otherwise. The parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Compensatory Payment on more than one occasion to the Bidder, whether or not the Compensatory Payment may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

The parties agree that the provisions of Clause 13.1 shall apply mutatis mutandis following an Agreed Switch.

The parties intend and shall use reasonable endeavours to secure that the fee payable pursuant to Clause 13.1 is not treated for VAT purposes as consideration for a taxable supply.

Fees, Costs, Payments and Transfer Taxes

Without prejudice to its other rights pursuant to this Agreement (or in relation to a breach by any party of the terms of this Agreement), each party shall pay its own costs and expenses in relation to the negotiation, preparation, execution and carrying into effect of this Agreement and any other agreement incidental to the implementation of the Acquisition or referred to in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, all Tax Returns with respect to any excise, sales, use, transfer (including real property transfer), Stamp Duty, documentary, filing, recordation and other similar taxes arising directly or indirectly from the entry into this Agreement or the Acquisition (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be timely filed by the party responsible for such filing under applicable Law (provided that the parties hereto shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including by promptly supplying any information in their possession that is reasonably necessary for the preparation and timely filing of such Tax Returns or the payment of any amounts pursuant to this Clause 14.2). All Stamp Duty (and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs for the preparation of such Tax Returns) shall be borne by the Acquirers.

The Acquirers shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or to direct the Company to deduct and withhold) from the Consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under any applicable Laws related to Tax. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and timely remitted to the appropriate Tax Authority by the Acquirers (or the Company), such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which the Acquirers (or the Company) made such deduction and withholding. Any amount so withheld will timely be remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority.

Remedies and Waivers

No delay or omission by any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement shall affect that right, power or remedy or operate as a waiver of it.

No waiver of any right, power or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement shall have effect unless given by notice in writing and executed by or on behalf of each of the parties.

The single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy provided by law or under this Agreement shall not preclude any other or further exercise of it or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

The rights, powers and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law.

Without prejudice to any other rights and remedies which a party may have, each party (each being, as applicable, for the purposes of this Clause 15 the “undertaking party”) acknowledges and agrees that the other party would be materially harmed by a breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement and that damages alone would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the undertaking party acknowledges that the other party shall be entitled to seek the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief (and the undertaking party agrees that it shall not contest the appropriateness or availability thereof), for any threatened or actual breach of any provision of this Agreement and no proof of special damages shall be necessary for the enforcement by a party of its rights under this Agreement.

The parties agree that the Code Committee and the Code Expert shall have the power to award any remedy or make any direction that the Panel would have been competent to award or make, and that they shall comply with the terms of such remedy or direction.

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by or on behalf of the parties on separate counterparts, but shall not be effective until each party has executed at least one counterpart. Each counterpart shall constitute an original of this Agreement, but all the counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Invalidity

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, void, invalid or unenforceable under the laws of any jurisdiction, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction shall not be affected, and the legality, validity and enforceability of the whole of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction shall not be affected.

If this Agreement would require a party to do or omit to do anything that would be contrary to the Act or applicable Law, then the parties shall endeavour to comply with this Agreement in a manner that is not contrary to the Act or applicable Law as the case may be, but if that is impossible then the relevant provision of this Agreement shall, to that extent, be of no force or effect.

Entire Agreement; Severance

The Transaction Documents constitute the whole and only agreement among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any previous agreement whether written or oral among the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Each party acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement it is not relying upon any pre-contractual statement that is not set out in this Agreement.

No party shall have any right of action against any other party to this Agreement arising out of or in connection with any pre-contractual statement except to the extent that it is repeated in this Agreement. Nothing in this Clause 18.3 shall limit the liability of any party in respect of any fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation or misstatement. For the purposes of this Clause 18.3, pre-contractual statement means any draft, agreement, undertaking, representation, warranty, promise, assurance or arrangement of any nature whatsoever, whether or not in writing, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement made or given by any person at any time prior to the date of this Agreement.

If any provision of this Agreement is declared by any legal or other competent authority to be void or otherwise unenforceable, that provision shall be severed from the Agreement and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

General; No Third Party Rights

Nothing in this Agreement and no action taken by the parties under this Agreement shall constitute a partnership, association, joint venture or other co-operative entity among any of the parties.

No amendment, variation, change or addition to this Agreement shall be effective or binding on any party unless made in writing and executed by or on behalf of each of the parties. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such provision.

This Agreement is personal to the parties and no party shall assign, transfer or create a trust over all or any part of the benefit of, or its rights or benefits under, this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Acquirers may, upon written notice to the Company, assign to an Affiliate controlled by the Acquirers its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement of such party, provided that no such assignment shall (i) relieve either of the Acquirers of their respective obligations hereunder or (ii) adversely impact in any respect the Company or its rights hereunder or materially impede or delay in any way the Acquisition.

Except for the Code Expert, the parties do not intend that any term of this Agreement should be enforceable by any person who is not a party to this Agreement by virtue of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ or otherwise.

Governing Law

This Agreement (together with all documents to be entered into pursuant to it which are not expressed to be governed by another law) and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with it shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

Without prejudice to the Code Expert procedure prescribed in this Agreement, each of the parties agrees that the courts of England and Wales shall have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any claim, legal action, proceedings, dispute or matter of difference which may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement (including claims for set-off or counterclaim) or the legal relationships established by this Agreement, whether contractual or non-contractual (“Proceedings”).

Each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales and waives any objection to any Proceedings in such courts or on the grounds of venue or on the grounds that such Proceedings have been brought in an inappropriate forum.

Each of the parties agrees that a judgment against it in the courts of England and Wales may be enforced against it in any other jurisdiction in accordance with the laws of that jurisdiction.

Agents for Service of Process

Bidder shall at all times maintain an agent for service of process in England. Bidder irrevocably appoints Bidco (such entity or any replacement agent appointed pursuant to Clause 21.3, “Agent”) as its agent for such purpose.

Without prejudice to any other permitted mode of service, each party agrees that service of any claim form, notice or other document for the purpose of any Proceedings begun in England shall be duly served upon it if served on the Agent in any manner permitted by the UK Civil Procedure Rules, whether or not it is forwarded to the party.

If for any reason the Agent appointed by any party at any time ceases to act as such, the party shall promptly appoint another such agent and promptly notify the other parties of the appointment and the new agent’s name and address in accordance with Clause 17. If the party concerned does not make such an appointment within seven Business Days of such cessation, then any other party may make such appointment on behalf of, and at the expense of, such defaulting party and if it does so shall promptly notify the other parties of the new agent’s name and address in accordance with Clause 17.
