(b) Buyer expressly reserves the right at any time to, its sole discretion, waive, in whole or in part, any of the Offer Conditions and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided that, without the prior written consent of the Company, Buyer shall not:

(i) waive or change the Minimum Condition (as defined in Annex I);

(ii) decrease the Offer Consideration;

(iii) change the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer;

(iv) decrease the number of Shares sought in the Offer;

(v) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Time except as otherwise provided in this Agreement; or

(c) Unless extended as provided in this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at 12:00 midnight (New York City time) on the date that is twenty Business Days (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the 1934 Act) after the Offer Commencement Date (such time, the “Initial Expiration Time” or such time and any subsequent time to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Time”). Subject to the provisions of Article 8, if any of the Offer Conditions is

not satisfied or waived at the Initial Expiration Time or at any other Expiration Time of the Offer, Buyer shall extend the Offer (the length of such extension period to be determined by Parent or Buyer, subject to clauses (i)-(iii) below) from time to time until such Offer Condition or Offer Conditions are satisfied or waived; provided that (i) Buyer shall not be required to extend the Offer beyond the End Date, (ii) no such individual extension of the Offer shall be for a period of more than ten Business Days, and (iii) Buyer shall not be required to extend the Offer at any time that Parent or Buyer is permitted to terminate this Agreement. Buyer shall extend the Offer for any period required by any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC, the staff thereof or the NASDAQ applicable to the Offer or as may be required by any other Governmental Authority; provided, that Buyer shall not be required to extend the Offer to a date later than the End Date. Following expiration of the Offer, Buyer shall (and the Offer Documents shall so indicate) provide a subsequent offering period (“Subsequent Offering Period”) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 of the 1934 Act of not less than five nor more than twenty Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the 1934 Act). The Offer may not be terminated prior to the Expiration Time (as the same may be extended pursuant to this Section 2.01) unless this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.01. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, Buyer shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours following such termination) terminate the Offer and not acquire any Shares pursuant thereto. If the Offer is terminated by Buyer prior to the acceptance for payment and payment for Shares tendered in the Offer, Buyer shall promptly return, and shall cause any depositary acting on behalf of Buyer to return, in accordance with Applicable Law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof. Nothing in this Section 2.01(c) shall affect any termination rights under Article 8.

(d) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to the satisfaction or waiver of the Offer Conditions, Buyer shall, and Parent shall cause it to, accept for payment and pay for, as promptly as practicable after the expiration of the Offer, all Shares (i) validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and (ii) validly tendered in the Subsequent Offering Period (the date on which Shares are first accepted for payment and paid for under the Offer, the “Closing Date” and the acceptance for payment and payment for Shares on the Closing Date, the “Closing”). The Cash Consideration payable in respect of each Share pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid net of any applicable tax withholding with respect to the Offer Consideration pursuant to Section 2.09 to the seller in cash, without interest, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

(e) As soon as practicable on the Offer Commencement Date, Parent and Buyer shall (i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that shall include the

summary term sheet required thereby and, as exhibits, the Offer to Purchase and a form of letter of transmittal and summary advertisement (collectively, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares to the extent required by applicable United States federal securities laws and any other Applicable Law. The Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Buyer all information concerning the Company required by the 1934 Act to be set forth in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Buyer and the Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become (or shall have become known to be) false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Buyer shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule TO as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and the Offer Documents as so corrected to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case to the extent required by applicable United States federal securities laws and any other Applicable Law. The Company and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule TO and the Offer Documents each time before any such document is filed with the SEC, and Parent and Buyer shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel. Parent and Buyer shall provide the Company and its counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Parent, Buyer or their counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or other Governmental Authorities with respect to the Schedule TO or the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the response of Parent and Buyer to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with Parent and Buyer or their counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC or other Governmental Authorities to the extent such participation is permitted by the SEC or other Governmental Authorities.

Section 2.02. Company Action.

(a) The Company hereby approves and consents to the Offer and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than approval of Independent Directors required by Section 2.07) and the Tender Agreements. The Company represents that it has been advised that all of the members of the Boards who own Shares intend to tender such shares pursuant to the Offer. The Company shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days prior to the Offer Commencement Date) furnish Parent with (i) a list of its shareholders and mailing labels containing the names and addresses of its record holders of Shares, (ii) any available listing and computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, and (iii) copies of all lists of shareholders, security position listings, computer files in the Company’s possession or control regarding the

beneficial owners of Shares, in each case, true and correct as of the most recent practicable date, and shall provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of shareholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide such information to the extent the Company is prohibited from providing such information by the terms of its Articles of Association and/or by Applicable Law. In the event that the Company is so prohibited from providing such information, it shall (i) request permission from the applicable shareholders to provide such information to Parent and Buyer and/or (ii) if the information requested is not received at least three Business Days prior to the Offer Commencement Date, the Company shall deliver to such shareholders all information that would otherwise be required to be provided by Buyer and Parent to such shareholders of the Company in connection with the Offer, and, notwithstanding this Article 2, Buyer and Parent shall not have any obligation to deliver such information to such shareholders under this Agreement.

(b) As soon as practicable after the Offer Commencement Date (and in any event within ten Business Days of the date the Offer Documents are filed with the SEC), the Company shall file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable United States federal securities laws and any other Applicable Law, a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Section 5.03(e) and Section 5.03(f), shall reflect the Company Recommendation. Parent and Buyer shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Buyer required by the 1934 Act to be set forth in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent and Buyer agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that it shall have become (or shall have become known to be) false or misleading in any material respect. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case to the extent required by applicable United States federal securities laws and any other Applicable Law. Parent, Buyer and their counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 each time before it is filed with the SEC, and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent, Buyer and their counsel. The Company shall provide Parent, Buyer and their counsel with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from the SEC or its staff or other Governmental Authorities with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the Company’s response to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which

reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with the SEC or other Governmental Authorities to the extent such participation is permitted by the SEC or other Governmental Authorities.

Section 2.03. Outstanding Equity Awards.

(a) Each option to purchase Shares granted under any Company Plan, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing (each, a “Company Option”) and that has an exercise price per share that is less than or equal to the Cash Consideration shall become fully vested and exercisable as of immediately prior to the Closing and, at the Closing, shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (i) a cash payment from Parent at the Closing to the holder thereof equal to the product of (A) the excess of the Cash Consideration over the applicable per share exercise price of such Company Option multiplied by (B) the number of Shares subject to such Company Option and (ii) one CVR for each Share subject to such Company Option. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of the preceding sentence, any performance-vesting Company Option shall become fully vested and exercisable at the applicable target level.

(b) At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, each holder of a Company Option that has an exercise price per share that is greater than the Cash Consideration shall be provided with written notice by the Company as soon as practicable after the date hereof that such holder shall, during the period beginning on the date of such notice and ending on the Business Day preceding the Closing Date (the “Exercise Period”), have the right to exercise such Company Option by providing the Company with a notice of exercise and a cash amount equal to the product of (i) the excess of the applicable per share exercise price of such Company Option over the Cash Consideration multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Company Option, with such exercise conditioned on the occurrence of the Closing. Each Company Option that is exercised pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) shall be settled at the Closing in exchange for, in respect of each Share subject to such Company Option, one CVR. Any Company Option described in this Section 2.03(b) that is not exercised during the Exercise Period or at any other time prior to the closing of the Reorganization (as defined below) shall be cancelled at the closing of the Reorganization for no consideration therefor. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to effect the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.03(b). For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 2.03(b), any performance-vesting Company Option shall become fully vested and exercisable at the applicable target level.

(c) Each restricted Share that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing and that was granted or issued under any Company Plan (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) and that is validly tendered (and not withdrawn) by the holder of such Company Restricted Share pursuant to the Offer shall become fully vested as of immediately prior to the Closing, and such tendered Company Restricted Share shall be treated as a validly tendered Share as provided under Section 2.01(d). Any Company Restricted Share that is not validly tendered (or that is withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall remain outstanding after the Closing in accordance with its terms; provided that (i) to the extent such Company Restricted Share becomes vested as of the consummation of the Offer, the Asset Sale or other Reorganization, as applicable, such Company Restricted Share shall be treated in the same way as any other Share that is not tendered in the Offer under the terms of this Agreement and (ii) to the extent such Company Restricted Share does not become vested as of the consummation of the Offer, the Asset Sale or other Reorganization, as applicable, (x) to the extent not prohibited by the applicable award agreement, the Company shall repurchase such Company Restricted Share at the consummation of the Offer, the Asset Sale or other Reorganization, as applicable, for a cash payment equal to the issue price of such Company Restricted Share (in which case, the Boards shall take all actions necessary to effect such repurchase on such terms) and (y) otherwise, the Company Restricted Share shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Cash Consideration and one CVR.

Section 2.04. Extraordinary General Meeting.

(a) On or prior to the Offer Commencement Date, the Company shall duly call, give notice and, as soon as practicable following the date hereof taking into account a notice period of at least 35 calendar days and that notice will not be given until the Pre-Launch Condition has been satisfied or waived (but in any event prior to the Closing), hold an extraordinary meeting of shareholders (the “EGM”) to:

(i) provide information regarding the Offer;

(ii) accept resignations from, and provide discharge to, all but two of the existing members of the Boards and, subject to Section 2.04(f) and Section 2.05, appoint such new members to the Boards as designated by Buyer to replace such resigning directors;

(iii) approve the sale by the Company effective as of the Closing, pursuant to a sale and purchase agreement in customary form (an “Asset Sale Agreement”), of all of the assets, including any Tax attributes to the extent transferable, and assumption of all liabilities of the Company (including, at the discretion of Buyer, the Company’s Subsidiaries) to Buyer and/or one or more of its designees for aggregate consideration of

(A) a note payable (the “Note Payable”) from Buyer or one or more of its designees in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Cash Consideration multiplied by the total number of outstanding Shares as of the Closing (which Note Payable shall be prepayable without penalty or premium but shall require Buyer to pay to the Company, on or promptly following the completion of the Subsequent Offering Period, an amount of the Note Payable equal to the Cash Consideration multiplied by the number of outstanding Shares not tendered in the Offer or the Subsequent Offering Period), (B) a note (the “Convertible Note”) from Buyer convertible into an aggregate amount of CVRs equal to the total number of outstanding Shares as of the Closing (which Convertible Note shall be prepayable without penalty or premium but shall require Buyer to distribute to the Company, on or promptly following the completion of the Subsequent Offering Period, a number of CVRs equal to the number of Shares not tendered in the Offer or the Subsequent Offering Period, (the “Note Conversion”)) and (C) the assumption by Buyer and/or its designees of all liabilities and obligations of the Company (including the Company’s Subsidiaries), whether actual, contingent or otherwise, including the express assumption of all contractual obligations (and also including the related obligation of Buyer or its designees to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Company with respect to all such assumed liabilities and obligations) (the transaction described in this clause (iii) and the Second Step Distribution, the “Asset Sale”); and

(iv) resolve upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Company following such Asset Sale with the aim that the proceeds of such sale will be distributed by means of a liquidation distribution (which may be an advance distribution, as described in Section 2.04(e)) (the “Second Step Distribution”) to the shareholders of the Company such that each holder of Shares that were not tendered in the Offer or during the Subsequent Offering Period shall receive cash and CVRs in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration multiplied by the number of Shares then held by such holder (in the case of the Cash Consideration, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes with respect to the Offer Consideration).

(b) Promptly after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare appropriate materials for the EGM (together with any amendments and supplements thereto and any other required, the “EGM Materials”) relating to the matters set forth in
Section 2.04(a). Subject to Section 5.03(e) and Section 5.03(f), the Company shall include the Company Recommendation in the EGM Materials. Parent and Buyer shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning Parent and Buyer required to be set forth in the EGM Materials. The Company shall provide Parent and its counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the EGM Materials each time prior to

dissemination to the shareholders of the Company and the Company shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by Parent and its counsel. The Company shall provide Parent, Buyer and their counsel, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law, with (i) any comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that the Company or its counsel may receive from time to time from Governmental Authorities with respect to the EGM Materials promptly after receipt of those comments or other communications and (ii) a reasonable opportunity to participate in the Company’s response to those comments and to provide comments on that response (to which reasonable and good faith consideration shall be given), including by participating with the Company or its counsel in any discussions or meetings with Governmental Authorities to the extent such participation is permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority.

(c) The Company shall give Parent no less than three Business Days’ advance notice of the date which shall be set as the “record date” for the EGM. The Company shall consult with Parent regarding the date of the EGM and shall not cancel the EGM without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that the Company may, following reasonable consultation with Parent, cancel the EGM to the extent reasonably necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to EGM Materials that the Company Board, after consultation with outside counsel, reasonably determines is necessary to comply with Applicable Law, is made available to the Company’s shareholders in advance of the EGM. In the event the EGM is cancelled pursuant to the foregoing proviso, the Company shall duly call, give notice of, and hold the EGM as soon as practicable following the date of such cancellation.

(d) The Company shall ensure that the EGM is called, noticed, convened, held and conducted, in compliance in all material respects with all Applicable Law. The adoption of the matters set forth in Section 2.04(a) shall be the only matters which the Company shall propose to be acted on by the shareholders of the Company at the EGM, unless otherwise approved in writing by Parent, in its sole discretion.

(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or Section 8.01(d)(i), the Company agrees that (i) its obligation to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the EGM shall not be affected by any Adverse Recommendation Change and (ii) its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.04 shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal). Unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 8, the Company agrees that it shall not submit to the vote of the shareholders of the Company any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) prior to the vote of the shareholders of the Company with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.04.

(f) In connection with the Asset Sale, Buyer shall provide a guarantee to the liquidator as to any deficit in the estate of the Company, so as to enable the liquidator to pay the Offer Consideration (in the case of the Cash Consideration, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes with respect to the Offer Consideration) by means of an advance liquidation distribution to holders of Shares that were not tendered in the Offer or during the Subsequent Offering Period. The approvals by Company shareholders of the resignations and appointments, the sale of the Company’s assets, the liquidation and dissolution of the Company and the distribution of the liquidation proceeds referred to in Section 2.04(a) (the “Shareholder Approvals”) will be effective as of, and conditional upon the occurrence of, the Closing. At the EGM, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to secure the Shareholder Approvals, such Shareholder Approvals to be effective as of, and conditional upon, the occurrence of the Closing.

Section 2.05. Directors. As soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, and no later than the Offer Commencement Date, Buyer shall designate in writing to the Company the new members for the Boards for purposes of Section 2.04(a)(ii) (the “Buyer Directors”). For the avoidance of doubt, no fewer than two of the current directors of the Company (the “Independent Directors”), to be mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and the Company, shall remain on the supervisory board of the Company until the earlier of (i) such time after the Closing as the Buyer owns 100% of the outstanding Shares, (ii) the date the liquidation of the Company shall have been duly completed, or (iii) one year after the date hereof. The Company shall promptly take all actions and shall include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information with respect to the Company and its officers and directors as any Applicable Law may require in order to fulfill its obligations under Section 2.04. The Company shall take any and all other actions necessary to appoint the Buyer Directors to the Boards effective immediately following the Closing, and shall take all actions reasonably requested by Parent or Buyer in furtherance thereof. Parent shall supply to the Company in writing and be solely responsible for any information with respect to itself and its nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by any such Applicable Laws. Buyer shall cause all directors of the Company to be discharged at the annual general meeting of the Company held in 2015 for their acts of management or supervision, as applicable, as appears from the books and records of the Company, provided that no discharge shall have to be granted to a director for acts for which serious blame can be attributed to him or her (een ernstig verwijt kan worden gemaakt).

Section 2.06. Further Actions. If requested by Parent, the Company and Buyer shall take as of the date of this Agreement or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practical, but effective no earlier than the Closing, the following actions to the extent reasonably necessary or desirable to accomplish the Asset Sale and/or the Reorganization: (a) in the case of the Company, the convening of

the necessary meetings of the Company shareholders and the Boards (including the EGM referenced in Section 2.04), (b) in the case of the Company, the consideration and approval of resolutions by the Boards for the purpose of the Reorganization and the consideration and approval of any Board resolutions (the “Approval of the Boards”) necessary or desirable to convene the EGM referenced in Section 2.04 and approve the Asset Sale to Buyer or its designee and the liquidation and dissolution of the Company, in each case as set forth in Section 2.04, subject to Section 2.07, and (c) in the case of Buyer and the Company, the execution of any and all reasonably requested documents, agreements or deeds that are necessary or desirable to effectuate the Reorganization and/or the Asset Sale and the filing or registration of any or all of such documents, agreements or deeds with the appropriate Governmental Authorities.

Section 2.07. Reorganization. As promptly as practicable following the closing of the Subsequent Offering Period, Buyer shall effectuate a corporate reorganization (the “Reorganization”) of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which may include, (a) the Asset Sale, which may include, at Parent’s request, the amendment of the Articles of Association of the Company to permit the creation, among other things, of separate classes of shares in order to effect the foregoing or (b) if permissable under Applicable Law, the commencement of a compulsory acquisition by Buyer of Shares from any remaining minority shareholder in accordance with Section 2:92a of the Dutch Civil Code, in each case, which may be accompanied by the termination of the listing of the Shares on the NASDAQ and the deregistration of the Company under the 1934 Act and the cessation of the Company’s reporting obligations thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.07, the Reorganization, if completed, shall be conducted in accordance with Applicable Law and shall result in all holders of Shares that were not tendered in the Offer or during the Subsequent Offering Period being offered or receiving in the Reorganization for each Share then held cash and CVRs in an amount equal to the Offer Consideration (in the case of Cash Consideration, without interest, less applicable withholding taxes with respect to the Offer Consideration), as soon as reasonably possible after the Closing. If Parent determines it is not reasonably practicable (which shall be deemed to include adverse tax consequences) to effectuate a Reorganization of the type described in clauses (a) or (b) of the first sentence of this Section 2.07, it will use reasonable best efforts to effectuate a Reorganization in a different manner with the prior approval of the Independent Directors, subject to the immediately foregoing sentence.

Section 2.08. Certain Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, in the event that, during the period between the date hereof and the Expiration Time, the number of outstanding Shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for Shares shall be changed into a different number of shares or securities or a different class as a result of a reclassification,

stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend or distribution, recapitalization, merger, issuer tender or exchange offer or other similar transaction, then the Offer Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be equitably adjusted, without duplication, to reflect such change; provided that, in any case, nothing in this Section 2.08 shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2.09. Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of Parent, Buyer and the Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise deliverable under this Agreement, and from any other payments otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, such amounts as Parent, Buyer, the Company or their Affiliates may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries (including any deliveries of CVRs) and payments under Applicable Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, they shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(c) In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.03, the Company shall notify Parent promptly (but in no event later than two Business Days) orally and in writing after receipt by the Company (or any of its Representatives) of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party that has notified the Company that it may be considering making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal. Each such notice shall include (i) the identity of the Third Party making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or request, and (ii) a copy of all written materials provided

by such Third Party in connection with, and the material terms of, such Acquisition Proposal. After receipt of the Acquisition Proposal or request, the Company shall continue promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of any material change or development with respect to such Acquisition Proposal) to keep Parent reasonably informed orally or in writing of the status, terms and pertinent details of any such Acquisition Proposal or request (including by providing prompt notice of all material amendments or proposed material amendments thereto).

(d) Except as expressly permitted under Section 5.03(e) or Section 5.03(f), none of the Company, the Boards or any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withhold, fail to include in (or remove from) the Schedule 14D-9 or the EGM Materials, withdraw, qualify or modify (or resolve, determine or publicly propose to withhold, fail to include in (or remove from) the Schedule 14D-9 or the EGM Materials, withdraw, qualify or modify) the Company Recommendation or (B) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to shareholders or declare advisable (or resolve, determine or publicly propose to adopt, approve, recommend, submit to shareholders or declare advisable) any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”) or (ii) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to shareholders or declare advisable (or resolve, determine or publicly propose to adopt, approve, recommend, submit to shareholders or declare advisable), or allow the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to execute or enter into, any Alternative Acquisition Agreement.

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Company receives an Acquisition Proposal, other than as a result of breaching or violating Section 5.03(a), that the Boards conclude in good faith, after consultation with their outside legal counsel and financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, constitutes a Superior Proposal, the Boards may, at any time prior to the Closing Date, if they determine in good faith, after consultation with their outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such actions contemplated by clauses (x) and/or (y) below would likely be inconsistent with the Boards’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law, (x) effect an Adverse Recommendation Change with respect to such Superior Proposal and/or (y) terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i) and simultaneously enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that the Company shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) or Section 8.01(d)(i), and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) or Section 8.01(d)(i) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless in advance of or concurrently with such termination the Company pays the Termination Fee and otherwise complies with the provisions of Section 8.01(d)(i) and Section 9.04(a)(i); and provided, further, that the Boards may not effect an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to the foregoing clause (x) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing

clause (y) or Section 8.01(d)(i) unless: (i) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least five Business Days in advance (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”), of its intention to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change (which notice itself shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change) and/or terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall identify the Third Party or group making such Superior Proposal, and contain the execution draft of the relevant proposed Alternative Acquisition Agreement (which shall include the financial terms of such Superior Proposal) with the Third Party or group making such Superior Proposal and any other material documents with respect to such Superior Proposal (including any with respect to the financing thereof); and (ii) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminating this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, (A) if requested by Parent, the Company shall have, and shall have caused the Company’s Representatives to, during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, and (B) Parent shall not have, during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, made a written offer that would, after consideration of such offer by the Boards in good faith and after consultation with their outside legal counsel and financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, result in the Boards determining that such Superior Proposal no longer constitutes a Superior Proposal. In the event of any amendment to the financial terms or any other material revisions to the Superior Proposal after the start of the Superior Proposal Notice Period, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent pursuant to Section 5.03(e)(i) and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.03(e) with respect to such new written notice (including a new Superior Proposal Notice Period), except the Superior Proposal Notice Period shall be at least three Business Days (rather than the five Business Days contemplated by Section 5.03(e)(i) above).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and solely in response to an Intervening Event, the Boards may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change prior to the Closing Date if each of the Boards determines in good faith, after consultation with their outside legal counsel and financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that the failure to do so would likely be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under Applicable Law; provided, however, that the Boards may not effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change unless: (i) the Company shall have provided prior written notice to Parent, at least five Business Days in advance (the “Intervening Event Notice Period”), of its intention to effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change (which notice itself shall not constitute an Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice shall specify in reasonable detail such

Intervening Event; and (ii) prior to effecting such Adverse Recommendation Change, (A) if requested by Parent, the Company shall have, and shall have caused the Company’s Representatives to, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, negotiate with Parent in good faith to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that an Adverse Recommendation Change is no longer necessary, and (B) Parent shall not have, during the Intervening Event Notice Period, made a written offer that that, after due consideration of such offer by the Boards in good faith and after consultation with their outside legal counsel and financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, results in both Boards determining that it would not continue to be likely to be inconsistent with the director’s fiduciary duties under Applicable Law to not effect the Adverse Recommendation Change. In the event of any material changes to the circumstances applicable to the Intervening Event, after the start of the Intervening Event Notice Period, the Company shall be required to deliver a new written notice to Parent pursuant to Section 5.03(f)(i) and to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.03(f) with respect to such new written notice (including a new Intervening Event Notice Period) except the Intervening Event Notice Period shall be at least three Business Days (rather than the five Business Days contemplated by Section 5.03(f)(i) above).

(g) The Company shall keep confidential any proposals made by Parent to revise the terms of this Agreement, other than in the event of any amendment to this Agreement and to the extent required by Applicable Law to be disclosed in any Company SEC Documents or otherwise in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.

(h) No Adverse Recommendation Change shall change the approval of the Boards for purposes of causing any Anti-Takeover Measure to be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Tender Agreements.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement, “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide, unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal (that has not been withdrawn and that did not result from a breach of the provisions of Section 5.03(a)) to acquire all of the outstanding Shares or all or substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, which (a) is not subject to a financing condition (and if financing is required, such financing is committed, or is reasonably expected to be committed, to the Third Party or “group” (as defined in or under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act) making such Acquisition Proposal), (b) is reasonably likely to be consummated on the terms and conditions contemplated thereby, and (c) the Boards determine in good faith by a majority vote, after considering the advice of a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, is on terms more favorable to the Company’s shareholders and other stakeholders than as provided hereunder, in each case taking into account the various legal, financial and regulatory aspects of the proposal, including the financial and financing terms thereof, the likelihood of consummation in a timely manner, and the identity of the Third Party or group making such proposal.

(j) The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated any and all existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party and its Representatives conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours following the execution of this Agreement) demand that each Third Party that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives with respect to such Third Party’s consideration of a possible Acquisition Proposal at any time after January 1, 2014 (other than agreements that have expired by their terms) to immediately return or destroy (which destruction shall subsequently be certified in writing by such Third Party to the Company if such Third Party is required to do so pursuant to the terms of the non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement between such Third Party and the Company) all confidential information heretofore furnished by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Affiliates or Representatives to such Third Party, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Affiliates or Representatives.

Section 5.04. Compensation Arrangements. Prior to the Expiration Time, the Company (acting through its Compensation Committee) will take all steps that may be required, necessary or advisable to cause each Company Plan or similar arrangement that has been or after the date of this Agreement will be entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with any of its directors, officers or employees pursuant to which consideration is payable to any director, officer or employee to be approved by the Compensation Committee as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the 1934 Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) of the 1934 Act. At the time of the taking of such steps described in this Section 5.04, the Compensation Committee will be composed solely of “independent directors” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto.

Section 5.05. Anti-Takeover Measures. The Company and the Boards shall take all actions within their power and authority necessary so that the restrictions of any Anti-Takeover Measures do not prevent or materially delay any and all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any Anti-Takeover Measure becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Tender Agreements, to the extent reasonably possible, the Company and the Boards shall grant such approvals and take such actions within their power and authority as are necessary, so that any such transactions

contemplated by this Agreement and the Tender Agreements may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement or the Tender Agreement, as applicable, and otherwise act within their power and authority to eliminate or minimize the effects of such Anti-Takeover Measures on such transactions.

Section 5.06. Innovation Box. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to: (i) provide Parent with a copy of any correspondence, written information or other document received from a Taxing Authority (or, in the case of oral communications, a summary of such communication) that relates to the Innovation Box (innovatiebox) (the “Innovation Box”) and/or net operating loss carryforwards (verrekenbare verliezen) for Dutch Tax purposes promptly upon receipt of such correspondence, information, report or communication, (ii) reasonably consider any such actions with respect to the Innovation Box as the Parent may reasonably request, (iii) provide Parent an opportunity to review, consult and comment on any correspondence or other documents to be sent to a Taxing Authority to the extent they relate to the Innovation Box and/or net operating loss carryforwards reasonably prior to, and to the extent practicable, no later than seven days prior to, the date that such response will be, or is required to be, sent to the Taxing Authority, (iv) consider in good faith comments received from Parent with respect to any such correspondence or other documents, and (v) not initiate or enter into any discussions with a Taxing Authority relating to the Innovation Box without providing Parent with reasonable prior written notice of such discussions, to the extent practicable.

(c) Notwithstanding the generality of Section 9.07, the provisions of this Section 6.04 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former Company Service Provider or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third-party beneficiary of this Section 6.04. In no event shall the terms of this Agreement be deemed to confer upon any Company Service Provider any right to continued employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates (including, following the Closing Date, the Company).

Section 9.03. Amendments and Waivers.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 9.04. Expenses.

(a) General. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

(i) Termination Fee. If this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(i) or by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i), then the Company shall pay to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds $23,800,000 (the “Termination Fee”), in the case of a termination by Parent, within one Business Day after such termination and, in the case of a termination by the Company, immediately before and as a condition to such termination.

(ii) If (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(b)(i), Section 8.01(b)(iii) or Section 8.01(c)(ii), but in the case of termination pursuant to Section 8.01(c)(ii) only in the case of an intentional and material breach by the Company of its obligations hereunder, (B) after the date of this Agreement and prior to such termination, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been made known to the Company or publicly disclosed or announced (and not publicly withdrawn prior to such termination), and (C) within 12 months following the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate an Acquisition Proposal or consummates an Acquisition Proposal (regardless of whether such Acquisition proposal is the same Acquisition Proposal referred to in clause (B)) (provided that for purposes of this clause (C), each reference to “20%” in the definition of

Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%”), then the Company shall pay to Parent by wire transfer of immediately available funds, concurrently with the earlier of the Company’s entry into such definitive agreement or the consummation of such Acquisition Proposal, the Termination Fee.

(b) Each of the Company, Parent and Buyer acknowledges that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 9.04 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) without these agreements, Parent, Buyer and the Company would not enter into this Agreement and (iii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but rather constitutes damages in a reasonable amount that will reasonably compensate Parent and Buyer in the circumstances in which such Termination Fee is payable. In the event that the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee when due, the Company shall reimburse Parent and Buyer for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by them (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of this Section 9.04, together with interest on the Termination Fee at the prime rate as quoted on Bloomberg screen (PRIMBB Index) in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment plus 2% per annum.

(c) Parent and Buyer agree that, upon any termination of this Agreement under circumstances where the Termination Fee is payable by the Company pursuant to this Section and such Termination Fee is paid in full, Parent and Buyer shall be precluded from any other remedy against the Company, at law or in equity or otherwise, and neither Parent nor Buyer shall seek to obtain any recovery, judgment, or damages of any kind, including consequential, indirect, or punitive damages, against the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, partners, managers, members, shareholders or Affiliates or their respective Representatives in connection with this Agreement, the Tender Agreements, the CVR Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 9.05. Investment.

(a) Within five Business Days following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall issue and sell to the Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from the Company, a convertible promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) in the principal amount of €40,355,125.10, in the form mutually agreed between the parties on the date hereof.

(b) From and after the date of this Agreement except as provided in Section 9.05(c) below, Buyer will not (i) transfer, assign or dispose of (“Transfer”) any or all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Promissory Note (the “Conversion Shares”), the Promissory Note or any interest therein

without the prior written consent of the Company without the consent of the Company, unless permitted by the express terms of the Promissory Note, (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement with respect to any Transfer of any or all Conversion Shares, the Promissory Note or any interest therein without the consent of the Company, unless permitted by the express terms of the Promissory Note, (iii) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any or all of the Conversion Shares inconsistent with Buyer’s voting obligations hereunder or (iv) deposit any or all of the Conversion Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any or all of the Conversion Shares inconsistent with Buyer’s voting obligations hereunder.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.01(d)(i) and the Buyer has received the Termination Fee, the Promissory Note will automatically convert in accordance with its terms and Buyer will vote the Conversion Shares in favor of the transactions contemplated by the Alternative Acquisition Agreement at any meeting of the Shareholders of the Company in favor of which this Agreement was terminated, and, if applicable, will tender (and not withdraw) the Conversion Shares promptly, and in any event no later than ten Business Days, following the commencement of any tender offer pursuant to such Alternative Acquisition Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to any other provision in Section 8.01, the Promissory Note will automatically convert in accordance with its terms and from and after such termination, Buyer may Transfer the Conversion Shares in compliance with Applicable Laws; provided Buyer shall not Transfer (other than to Affiliates that expressly agree to be bound by this Section 9.05(c)) more than 10% of the daily trading volume of the Company’s Shares on NASDAQ.

Section 9.06. Disclosure Schedule and SEC Document References.

(a) The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (i) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (ii) any other representations and warranties of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties is reasonably apparent. The mere inclusion of an item in the Company Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Subject to the lead-in paragraph of Article 3, the parties hereto agree that any information contained in any part of any Company SEC Document shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) the Company’s representations and warranties if the relevance of that information as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties is reasonably apparent.

Section 9.07. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment.

(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided in Section 6.03, shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 6.03, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and other than the right of any holders of Shares (including Company Restricted Shares) that are not tendered in the Offer or in the Subsequent Offering Period to receive the Offer Consideration in respect of those Shares or any holders of Company Options to receive the applicable consideration in respect of their Company Options, in each case, as contemplated by Article 2.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, provided that each of Parent and Buyer shall be permitted to assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Parent without the Company’s consent; provided, further, that no such assignment shall (i) relieve the assigning party of its obligations under this Agreement or (ii) be permitted if such assignment would reasonably be expected to prevent, impair or materially delay the consummation of the Offer.

Section 9.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state.

Section 9.09. Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in any state or United States federal court located in the County of New York, New York, United States, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Action in any such court or that any such Action brought in any such court has been brought in an

inconvenient forum. Process in any such Action may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 9.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 9.11. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by each other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 9.12. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the CVR Agreement, the Tender Agreements and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 9.13. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 9.14. Specific Performance. The parties hereto 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 an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any
