Upon any Party’s reasonable written request, the Party which has made the relevant withholding shall provide the requesting Party with a tax payment certificate or other documentation (or copy thereof), to the extent issued by the applicable Taxation Authority, certifying payment of such amount.

3.7 Reduction in the Purchase Price.

(c) If a vacancy is created between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date as a result of the termination of employment, or resignation of any Transferred Employee, such departing individual shall be [**] and shall no longer be considered a Transferred Employee, and the individual who fills the resulting vacancy (it being agreed that the Seller has no obligation to fill such a vacancy) shall be [**] and thereafter be considered a Transferred Employee in place of the departing employee for purposes of this Agreement.

(ii) all information that is necessary for purposes of the TUPE Notice and the TUPE Process and that is otherwise customarily provided by a purchaser in similar transactions, including all information in respect of the compensation, benefits and any measures that the Purchaser envisages taking in relation to the Transferred Employees following the Closing, and as may otherwise be reasonably required by the Seller to facilitate the information and consultation procedures in relation to the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Purchaser TUPE Notice Information”).

(j) For purposes of preparation of the TUPE Notice in accordance with Section 8.5(f), the Seller shall include in the TUPE Notice the date or proposed date of the transfer and the reasons for the

transfer and any such information as is customarily provided by a seller in similar transactions (the “Seller TUPE Notice Information”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.7, either Party may disclose the other Party’s confidential information, knowledge or data solely to the extent such disclosure is required by applicable Laws; provided that the disclosing Party shall (i) give the other Party prompt prior written notice of such requirement (to the extent permissible under applicable Laws) and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or to assist the other Party in seeking to obtain, confidential treatment or a protective order for such information. In the event that a protective order or confidential treatment is not obtained, the disclosing Party may furnish only that portion of the information, knowledge or data which it is legally required to disclose.

(e) In the event of a breach of the obligations hereunder by either Party, the other Party shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of this Section 8.7 in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties that if any of the restrictions or covenants contained in this Section 8.13 is held to cover a geographic area or to be for a length of time which is not permitted by applicable Law, or in any way construed to be too broad or to any extent invalid, such provision shall not be construed to be null, void and of no effect, but to the extent such provision would be valid or enforceable under applicable Law, a court of competent jurisdiction shall construe and interpret or reform this Section 8.13 to provide for a covenant having the maximum enforceable geographic area, time period and other provisions, in each case not greater than those contained in this Section 8.13, as shall be valid and enforceable under such applicable Law.

8.14 Taxes.

(a) Transfer Taxes; VAT.

(i) The Purchaser shall be responsible for all Transfer Taxes (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, VAT, which shall be payable in accordance with this Section 8.14) regardless of the Party on whom Liability is imposed under the provisions of the applicable Laws relating to such Transfer Taxes. At the option of the Purchaser, the Seller shall consult with, and cooperate with, the Purchaser on a reasonable basis and otherwise take commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any available exemptions from or reductions in such Transfer Taxes.

(ii) Each amount stated as payable by the Purchaser under or pursuant to this Agreement is exclusive of VAT. The Parties intend that the sale of the Transferred Assets under this Agreement shall constitute a transfer of a business and shall use all reasonable efforts to secure that the sale of the Transferred Assets under this Agreement is treated as neither a supply of goods nor a supply of

services for the purposes of VAT in accordance with Sections 20(2)(c) and 26(2) VATCA, such that no VAT shall be chargeable in respect of the sale and purchase under this Agreement. However, if all or any part of the sale of the Transferred Assets under this Agreement is treated as a supply of goods or services for the purposes of VAT, (A) the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a valid VAT invoice in respect of all or any of the Transferred Assets and (B) the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller an amount equal to all VAT so arising within thirty (30) days of receipt of such invoice.

(iii) If any amount of VAT charged by the Seller is subsequently found to have been charged in error, the Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the amount of any such VAT paid by the Purchaser to the Seller [**] of the receipt by Seller of written confirmation, issued by the Revenue Commissioners to either the Seller or the Purchaser, that the VAT was incorrectly charged.

(iv) Within [**] of the signing of this Agreement the Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser copies of the Capital Goods Records in respect of the Owned Real Property and such other information in relation to the VAT history of the Owned Real Property as the Purchaser, acting reasonably, shall in writing require in order to comply with the Purchaser’s obligations in respect of the Owned Real Property under the VAT Act.

(v) Within [**] of the signing of this Agreement, the Seller shall use commercially reasonable endeavours to furnish to the Purchaser copies of available invoices and other relevant documentation, which evidence expenditure on qualifying ‘industrial buildings’ (within the meaning of section 268 TCA) and, in particular, in respect of expenditure of the Owned Real Properties referred to as “building 15” and/or “building 16”.

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, each Party shall be responsible for any Tax obligations (other than obligations in respect of Transfer Taxes and VAT) of its own due to this Agreement (including corporation Tax, income Tax and capital gains Tax), and neither Party shall have any obligation towards the other Party in case that the other Party fails to fully comply with its Tax obligations.

(b) Straddle Periods. In the case of any Straddle Period, (i) all Property Taxes for any such period shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period on a per diem basis and (ii) all other Taxes (other than Transfer Taxes and VAT) shall be apportioned between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period as if the Pre-Closing Period ended at the close of business on the date prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Cooperation and Audits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.2, the Parties and their respective Affiliates shall cooperate on a reasonable basis with each other regarding Tax matters governed by this Agreement or relating to the Transferred Assets and will make available to the other as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to such Tax matters and the filing of Tax Returns (including any Tax Returns relating to Transfer Taxes) until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or extension thereof or the conclusion of all Actions with respect to such Taxes. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Seller and its Affiliates covenant to provide such available information and assistance (including, without limitation, access to premises and personnel and available relevant historic documentation) as reasonably requested by the Purchaser or its Affiliates relating to the availability of ‘industrial buildings allowances’ on the Owned Real Properties referred to as [**]. For the avoidance of doubt, no Party shall be required to provide to the other Party (or any of its Affiliates) an income, corporation or capital gains Tax Return of such Party or any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 8.14(c).

Article 9
TERMINATION

9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned, prior to the Closing:

(a) at any time, by mutual written agreement of the Seller and the Purchaser;

(b) at any time after the Long Stop Date, by the Seller upon written notice to the Purchaser, if the Closing shall not have occurred for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by the Seller; provided, however, that the Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) if the Seller is then in material breach of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it hereunder on or prior to the Closing;

(c) at any time after the Long Stop Date, by the Purchaser upon written notice to the Seller, if the Closing shall not have occurred for any reason other than a breach of this Agreement by the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Purchaser may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) if the Purchaser is then in material breach of the covenants and agreements required to be performed by it hereunder on or prior to the Closing;

(d) by the Seller if there shall have been a material breach by the Purchaser of warranty, covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition to the Closing hereunder in favor of the Purchaser, and (ii) cannot be cured, or has not been cured [**] following receipt by the Purchaser of written notice of such breach (and, in any event, prior to the Long Stop Date);

(e) by the Purchaser if there shall have been any Environmental Release during the Interim Period that has caused a Material Adverse Effect or a material breach by the Seller of any warranty, covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of a condition to the Closing hereunder in favor of the Seller, and (ii) cannot be cured, or has not been cured [**] following receipt by the Seller of written notice of such breach (and, in any event, prior to the Long Stop Date); or

(f) by either the Purchaser or the Seller, upon delivery of written notice to the other, if a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, judgment, decree, injunction or ruling permanently restraining or prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and such order, judgment, decree, injunction or ruling shall have become final and non-appealable.

9.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) In the event of a valid termination by either Party pursuant to Section 9.1, written notice thereof will forthwith be given to the other Party and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be terminated, without further action by any Party. If the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall become null and void and have no further force and effect and all obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall terminate and there shall be no liability of any Party to the other Party, except that Section 8.5(a) (excluding any obligations in respect of confidential information described therein), Section 8.7, this Section 9.2, Section 10.4, Article 11 and Article 1 (to the extent defined terms therein are referenced in any of the foregoing Sections or Articles) shall survive any such termination of this Agreement, (b) nothing herein will relieve or release any Party in breach or default of any of its obligations under this Agreement from any liability for damages

suffered by the other Party as a result of such breach or default, (c) nothing herein will relieve or release any Party in breach or default of any of its obligations under any of the Ancillary Agreements from any liability for damages suffered by the other Party as a result of such breach or default.

Article 10

Except in case of Fraud, the warranties set forth in Section 6.19 (Taxes) shall be deemed time-barred if no respective Claim Notice (in case of a Third Party Claim) or corresponding notice of the relevant claim (in case of other claims) is delivered until the later of (i) the end of a period of [**] from the end of the accounting period which is current on the Closing Date or (ii) [**] after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations for the underlying Third Party Claim or other claim.

The indemnity obligations under Sections 10.2 and 10.3 shall survive with respect to each underlying Third Party Claim until [**] after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such underlying Third Party Claim. Any claim for Fraud shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

10.2 Indemnification by the Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Article 10, at all times from and after the Closing, the Seller shall remain responsible for, and will promptly observe, perform, pay and discharge all of the Liabilities (excluding the Transferred Liabilities) and shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Purchaser Claiming Parties”), irrespective of any fault, from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by the Purchaser Claiming Parties directly or indirectly to the extent that such Losses are in connection with, arising out of or resulting from the following:

(h) all Liabilities to the extent arising directly out of, or from, the ownership or operation of the Owned Real Property prior to the Closing, except to the extent: (i) they are Permitted Encumbrances (ii) they are Liabilities relating to the state of repair and condition of the Owned Real Property; or (iii) they are Liabilities relating to non-compliance with the Planning Acts, the Building Control Act and the Building Regulations.

(i) where any [**] claims to be [**] of the Purchaser or makes any other claim against the Purchaser, in each case with respect to the period prior to the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser in respect of any Liabilities incurred by it in respect of defending or as a consequence of any such claim, [**];

(j) [**] save in the Ordinary Course, or that does not comply with applicable Laws;

(m) [**]; or

(n) [**].

10.3 Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth elsewhere in this Article 10, at all times from and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall be responsible for, and will promptly observe, perform, pay and discharge all of the Liabilities (excluding the Excluded Liabilities) and shall be solely responsible for and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors and employees (collectively, the “Seller Claiming Parties”), irrespective of any fault, from and against any Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller Claiming Parties directly or indirectly to the extent that such Losses are in connection with, arising out of or resulting from the following:

(a) the breach of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates contained in the Transaction Documents;

(b) the Purchaser’s failure to assume, perform, pay and discharge any and all Transferred Liabilities;

(c) [**];

(d) any Environmental Release or Contaminant at or related to the Athlone Facility to the extent the underlying acts, omissions, facts, circumstances or claims arise following the Closing;

10.4 Limitations on Amounts of Losses. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and other than with respect to Fraud:

(a) The maximum aggregate liability of the Seller for Losses in connection with Indemnity/Warranty Claims shall be limited to [**]; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on liability shall not apply to Losses in connection with Indemnity/Warranty Claims arising from, or in connection with a breach of (i) the Fundamental Warranties, for which the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller for Losses arising from or in connection with such breach shall not exceed [**] and (ii) the warranties set forth in Section 6.7(a), for which the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller for Losses arising from or in connection with such breach (together with any claims under the Land Sale Contract) shall not exceed [**].

(b) The maximum aggregate liability of the Purchaser for Losses in connection with Indemnity/Warranty Claims shall be limited to [**]; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on liability shall not apply to Losses in connection with Indemnity/Warranty Claims arising from or in connection with a breach of the Fundamental Warranties, for which the maximum aggregate liability of the Purchaser for Losses arising from or in connection with such breach shall not exceed [**].

(c) No Party shall be liable for Losses unless the aggregate amount of Losses arising from or in connection with any breach of the warranties hereunder with respect to any such individual breach (with all claims arising out of substantially the same facts being aggregated for such purpose) exceeds [**] (each, a “Qualifying Loss”) and for any Qualifying Loss unless the amount of all Qualifying Losses, when aggregated together, exceeds [**] (the “Basket”), in which case the liable Party shall be liable for [**]; provided, however, that the limitations on liability in this Section 10.4(c) shall not apply to a breach of the Fundamental Warranties.

(d) Except as otherwise provided herein, with respect to any indemnification obligation hereunder arising under any Ancillary Agreement, such indemnification obligation shall be subject to any applicable limitation on liability set forth in such Ancillary Agreement, if any.

10.5 Other Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except in the case of Fraud:

(a) All Losses for which any Indemnified Party would otherwise be entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 shall be reduced by the amount of insurance proceeds, indemnification payments and other Third Party recoveries actually received by any Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses incurred by such Indemnified Party. In the event any Indemnified Party is entitled to any insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or any Third Party recoveries in respect of any Losses for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 10, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, receive or realize such proceeds, benefits, payments or recoveries. In the event that any such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other Third Party recoveries are realized by an Indemnified Party subsequent to receipt by such Indemnified Party of any

indemnification payment hereunder in respect of the claims to which such insurance proceeds, indemnity payments or other Third Party recoveries relate, appropriate refunds shall be made promptly by the relevant Indemnified Parties of all or the relevant portion of such indemnification payment previously received.

(b) No claim for misrepresentation or breach of warranty shall be made by any Purchaser Claiming Party if such fact or event was disclosed in this Agreement or, in accordance with and subject to Section 11.16, in the Seller Disclosure Letter.

(c) No Purchaser Claiming Party or Seller Claiming Party shall be entitled to be compensated more than once, under any of the Transaction Documents, for the same Loss.

10.6 Procedures for Indemnification.

(a) In order for any Indemnified Party to be entitled to make a claim for indemnification under this Article 10, such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable after it acquires knowledge of the fact, event or circumstance giving rise to a claim for Losses pursuant to this Article 10‎. Each Indemnification Claim Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of, the facts, circumstances and the amount or a good faith estimate (only to the extent ascertainable) of the potential Losses against which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification for, such claim asserted, and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim for indemnification is made; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Party to give such prompt Indemnification Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. After delivery of an Indemnification Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party, (i) the Indemnified Party which has provided such Indemnification Claim Notice shall, upon written request from the Indemnifying Party, supply and make available to the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense) all relevant information in its or its Affiliates’ possession relating to the claim reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party (except to the extent that such action would result in a loss of attorney-client privilege; provided, that such Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such information in such format to the Indemnifying Party, or on an outside counsel only basis or in such other manner which would not result in the loss of such attorney-client privilege) and (ii) the Indemnified Party shall, and shall cause its Representatives, to (A) be reasonably available to the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense) during normal business hours to discuss such claim, (B) render to the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives such assistance as may reasonably be requested, (C) provide reasonable access to such properties, facilities, books, records, accountant work papers and other documents or information in their possession or that may be reasonably obtained as the Indemnifying Party and/or its Representatives may reasonably require (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense) (provided, that the accountants of the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to make any working papers available to the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives unless and until such Party or such Representative, as applicable, has signed a customary confidentiality and hold harmless agreement relating to such access to working papers in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such accountants), and (D) otherwise cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives in good faith (at the Indemnifying Party’s cost and expense). Without limiting the foregoing, such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party or its Representatives of books, records and other documents and information which are actually and reasonably relevant to such claim. Upon becoming aware of any such claim for indemnification under this Article 10, the Indemnifying Party shall not take any steps which might reasonably be expected to damage the commercial interests of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates without prior approval of the Indemnified Party.

(b) Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party by delivering an Indemnification Claim Notice with respect to such Direct Claim to the Indemnifying Party promptly; provided, however, that any failure by such Indemnified Party to give such prompt Indemnification Claim Notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party as provided in Section 10.6(a). The Indemnifying Party may, [**] receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice with respect to such Direct Claim, deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response disputing such claim, which response must state in reasonable detail the reasons why the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, together with reasonable supporting detail. [**].

(c) Save to the extent to which such Direct Claim has previously been satisfied, settled or withdrawn, any Direct Claim by an Indemnified Party shall not be enforceable against the Indemnifying Party and shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless (except as agreed by the Parties otherwise) proceedings in respect of such claim are commenced, subject to Section 10.6(d), by the Indemnified Party [**] of service of notice of any dispute by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.6(b).

(d) Where any Direct Claim by an Indemnified Party relates to a Loss which, at the time that such claim is notified to the Indemnifying Party is a contingent liability, the Indemnifying Party shall not be under any obligation to make any payment to an Indemnified Party in respect thereof and unless and until such time as the contingent liability ceases to be contingent and becomes actual and is due and payable. If an Indemnified Party has issued a notice in respect of such Direct Claim in accordance with Section 10.6(b) before the expiry of the relevant time periods for making such a claim against the relevant Indemnifying Party set out in Section 10.1, the [**] in Section 10.6(c) shall be deemed to commence upon the date which the liability ceases to be contingent and becomes an actual liability and is due and payable.

10.7 Third Party Claims.

(a) Promptly after an Indemnified Party has received notice or has knowledge of any Third Party claim or proceeding, or threatened claim or proceeding (a “Third Party Claim”) which could result in a Loss for which such Party may be entitled to indemnification under this Article 10 the Indemnified Party shall without undue delay deliver to Indemnifying Party written notice of such Third Party Claim (the “Claim Notice”), which Claim Notice shall include, to the extent known, the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, the basis for indemnification hereunder and the amount in dispute under the action, claim or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to provide the Claim Notice shall not release or waive the Indemnifying Party from its obligations to the Indemnified Party under this Article 10 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) The Parties agree to cooperate fully in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any claim for indemnification arising from a Third Party Claim. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon the request of the Party defending, negotiating or settling the claim (“Requesting Party”), (at Requesting Party’s cost) the provision to such Requesting Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees and other Representatives reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim or fails or refuses to undertake the defense of a Third Party Claim [**] after the claim for

indemnification has been tendered to the Indemnifying Party by the Indemnified Party, pursuant to and in accordance with Section 10.6(c), or if the Indemnifying Party declares not to undertake the defense, or if the Indemnifying Party later fails to conduct in good faith the defense or withdraws from such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to (i) undertake the defense of such claim with counsel of its own choosing, with the Indemnifying Party being responsible for the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense as Losses hereunder if and to the extent that such claim is determined to be a claim for which such Indemnified Person is entitled to be defended, indemnified, held harmless or reimbursed under this Article 10, and (ii) settle or compromise, or attempt to settle or compromise, the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and in assuming and/or defending such Third Party Claim the Indemnifying Party shall not do anything that would reasonably be expected to cause reputational damage to the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates.

10.8 Mitigation of Losses. Each Indemnified Party shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate all Losses promptly after its senior executives have actually become aware of any event which gives rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

10.9 Tax Treatment. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Purchaser and the Seller agree to treat any payments made pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, in each case, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, as applicable, for Tax purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnified Party is subject to Tax on any amounts received pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes withholdings or deductions applied by the Indemnifying Party or tax in the Indemnified Party’s hands), then the Indemnifying Party shall pay such additional amount to the Indemnified Party and shall ensure that the total after-Tax amount received by the Indemnified Party, less the Tax chargeable on such amount, is equal to the amount that would otherwise have been received by the Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

10.10 Setoff Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and without prejudice to any other right or remedy it has or may have, each Party (and its respective Affiliates) [**]. The payment obligations under each of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements remain independent obligations of each Party, irrespective of any amounts owed to any other Party under this Agreement or the respective Ancillary Agreements.

10.11 Exclusive Remedy. Except in respect of Fraud, from and after the Closing, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 10 will constitute the sole and exclusive recourse and remedy of the Parties with respect to any claims for indemnification arising in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Article 10 will not restrict the right of any Party to seek specific performance, injunctive relief or other remedies in connection with any covenants, or breach of any of the covenants, contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. The Parties agree that the provisions in this Agreement relating to indemnification, and the limits imposed on the Indemnified Parties’ remedies with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby were specifically bargained for between sophisticated parties and were specifically taken into account in the determination of the amounts to be paid hereunder.

Article 11
MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Expenses. Except as expressly provided herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such costs and expenses.

11.2 Further Assurance. Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause its respective Affiliates to, from time to time at the reasonable request and sole expense of the requesting Party, without any additional consideration, furnish to the other Party such further information or assurances, execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments and conveyances, and take such other actions and do such other things, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of counsel to the requesting Party, to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.3 Waiver and Amendment. The failure of any Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other Party. No waiver shall be effective unless it has been given in writing and signed by the Party giving such waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified except by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of each of the Parties.

11.7 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their permitted successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No Party may assign or delegate, by operation of law or otherwise, all or any portion of its rights, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may (a) assign its rights, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement or any part hereof to one or more of its Affiliates without the consent of the other Party; and (b) assign this Agreement in its entirety to a successor to all or substantially all of its business or Assets to which this Agreement relates. Any permitted assignee shall expressly agree to be bound by all obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement, and no permitted assignment shall relieve the assignor of liability hereunder. Any purported assignment without such prior written consent shall be void and of no force or effect.

11.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures to each counterpart were upon a single instrument, and all such counterparts together shall be deemed an original of this Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

11.9 Electronic Signature. The Parties consent to the execution by or on behalf of each other Party to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by electronic signature, provided that such manner of execution is permitted by law. The Parties (a) agree that an executed copy of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements may be retained in electronic form and (b) acknowledge that such electronic form shall constitute an original of the Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (as applicable) and may be relied upon as evidence of the Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (as applicable).

11.10 Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, all disputes arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement and any disputes in any way connected with the subject matter of this Agreement, whether contractual or non-contractual (“Proceedings”) shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of Ireland, without giving effect to the conflict of laws provision thereof. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Ireland solely and specifically for the purposes of any Action or Proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and agrees not to claim that the courts of Ireland are not a convenient or appropriate forum; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 11.10 shall limit the right of any Party to bring enforcement Proceedings in another jurisdiction on foot of an Irish judgement or an order of the Irish courts or to seek interim, protective or provisional relief in the courts of another jurisdiction.

11.11 Severability. If any term, provision, agreement, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. 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 a reasonably acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

11.12 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. It is therefore agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek a temporary, preliminary or permanent injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms of this Agreement, without posting any bond or other undertaking, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

11.13 Relationship of the Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, joint venture or legal entity of any type between the Seller and the Purchaser, or to constitute one as the agent of the other. Moreover, each Party agrees not to construe this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, as a partnership for any Tax purposes. Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Party the power or authority to act for, bind or commit the other.

11.14 English Language. This Agreement is written and executed in the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version of this Agreement and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall prevail.

11.15 Construction. The Parties agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are the result of negotiations between the Parties and that this Agreement shall not be construed in favor of or against any Party by reason of the extent to which any Party participated in its preparation.

11.16 Seller Disclosure Letter. The warranties of the Seller set forth in this Agreement are made and given subject to, and are qualified by, the matters Disclosed in the Seller Disclosure Letter. Any Disclosure set forth in one Section or subsection of the Seller Disclosure Letter shall be deemed to apply to and qualify the Section or subsection of this Agreement to which it corresponds in number and each other Section or subsection of this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on its face that such information is relevant to such other Section or subsection. No Disclosure set forth in the Seller Disclosure Letter relating to any possible breach or violation of any contract or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. The inclusion of any information in the Seller Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment that such information is required by the terms of this Agreement to be disclosed.
