HVII’s Share Rights Agreement designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of the Share Rights, which could limit the ability of Share Right holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with HVII.

HVII’s Share Rights Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against HVII arising out of or relating in any way to the Share Rights Agreement, including under the Securities Act, shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and (ii) that HVII irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. HVII has waived any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Share Rights Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of the HVII Rights shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Share Rights Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Share Rights Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of the HVII Rights, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such HVII Right holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such HVII Right holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such HVII Right holder. This choice-of-forum provision may limit a HVII Right holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum
