Registration Statement if in the good faith judgment of the Board, such registration, offering or use would reasonably be expected to materially affect in an adverse manner or materially interfere with any bona fide material financing of the Company
or any material transaction under consideration by the Company or would require the disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required to be, disclosed to the public and the premature disclosure of which would materially
affect the Company in an adverse manner; and 

  
 6 








 (B)    at any time after a Registration Statement has been
declared effective by the Commission, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company if the disclosure of such information at the time would, in the good faith
judgment of the Board, adversely affect the Company (the period of a postponement or suspension as described in clause (A) and/or a delay described in this clause (B), a “Grace Period”). 

(b)    The Company shall promptly (i) notify the Holder in writing of the existence of the event or material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that the Company shall not disclose the content of such material non-public information to the Holder) or the
need to file a post-effective amendment, as applicable, and the date on which such Grace Period will begin, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate a Grace Period as promptly as practicable and (iii) notify the Holder in
writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends. 
 (c)    The duration of any one Grace Period shall not exceed
sixty (60) days, and the aggregate of all Grace Periods in total during any three hundred sixty-five (365) day period shall not exceed an aggregate of ninety (90) days. For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period, the
Grace Period shall be deemed to begin on and include the date the Holder receives the notice referred to in clause (i) of Section 3(b) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Holder receives the notice referred to in
clause (iii) of Section 3(b) and the date referred to in such notice. In the event the Company declares a Grace Period, the period during which the Company is required to maintain the effectiveness of an Initial Shelf Registration
Statement (or, if applicable, an Alternative Shelf Registration Statement) shall be extended by the number of days during which such Grace Period is in effect.

provided in Sections 2(a) or 2(d) of this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to:

transfer of the Registrable Securities by the Holder, and shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have. 

(b)    Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person
entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall
have the right to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified 

  
 12 








 
Party and the payment of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not
relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that such failure shall have materially and adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party. 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the
fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (1) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (2) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to
assume the defense of such Proceeding and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (3) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such
Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that in the reasonable judgment of such counsel a conflict of interest exists if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party
and the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties (as well as one
local counsel, if reasonably necessary). The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. No
Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. 
 Subject to the terms of this
Agreement, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable and documented fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not
inconsistent with this Section 7(b)) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, with reasonable promptness after receipt of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall promptly
reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such Indemnified Party is finally judicially determined to not be entitled to indemnification hereunder. The failure to deliver written
notice to the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnified Party under this Section 7, except to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action. 

(c)    Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 7(a) or 7(b) is unavailable to an
Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a
result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among 

  
 13 








 
other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or
relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. 

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7(c) were determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. 

8.    Rule 144; Other Exemptions. With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and other rules and regulations of the Commission that may at any time permit the Holder to sell or distribute the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company covenants
that it will (i) to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, use its commercially reasonable efforts to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required, if any, to be filed by it under the Securities Act
and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted thereunder and (ii) take such further action as the Holder may reasonably request and make available information necessary to comply with Rule 144, at all times, all to the extent
required from time to time to enable the Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rule may be
amended from time to time. Upon the reasonable request of the Holder, the Company will deliver to the Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such information requirements, and, if not, the specific reasons for non-compliance. 
 9.    Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto shall
execute all such further instruments and documents and take all such further action as any other party hereto may reasonably require in order to effectuate the terms and purposes of this Agreement. 

10.    No Personal liability. The Liquidators have negotiated and are entering into this Agreement as agents for the
Holder to which they are appointed and none of the Liquidators, their firm, partners, employees, advisors, representatives or agents shall incur any personal liability whatsoever whether on their own part or in respect of any failure on the part of
the Company or any of its affiliates to observe, perform or comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or under or in relation to any related matter, claim, transfer, assignment or other documents or transactions made pursuant to or in
connection with this Agreement; provided, however that the foregoing shall not affect the liability that would otherwise result from any such act or omission by (i) the Liquidators, the Holder or the Liquidators’ professional persons to
the extent that such act or omission is determined by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. The Liquidators are party to this Agreement: (i) as agents of the Holder of which they are administrators; and (ii) in their own capacities solely
for taking the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement in their favor and enforcing the obligations of other parties to this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any claim, action or proceeding against the Liquidators in
their personal capacities (and not as agents for the Holder) under this Agreement shall be governed exclusively by Cayman Islands law and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

 11.    Miscellaneous. 

(a)    Remedies. Any Person having rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such
rights specifically to recover damages caused by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for
any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that any party may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) for specific performance and for other injunctive
relief in order to enforce or prevent violation of the provisions of this Agreement. 
 (b)    Compliance. The
Holder agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it (unless an exemption therefrom is available) in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration
Statement and shall sell the Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement only in accordance with a method of distribution described in such Registration Statement. 

(c)    Discontinued Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, the Holder agrees that, upon receipt
of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Grace Period or any event of the kind described in Section 4(i), the Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is
advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of
this paragraph. 
 (d)    No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter enter into any agreement
with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the rights granted to the Holder in this Agreement. 

(e)    Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not
be amended, modified or supplemented, or waived unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and Holder; provided, however, that any party may give a waiver as to itself. No waiver of any terms or conditions of this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver of any other breach of such terms and conditions or any other term or condition, nor shall any failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or of any other provision hereof. No written
waiver hereunder, unless it by its own terms explicitly provides to the contrary, shall be construed to effect a continuing waiver of the provisions being waived and no such waiver in any instance shall constitute a waiver in any other instance or
for any other purpose or impair the right of the party against whom such waiver is claimed in all other instances or for all other purposes to require full compliance with such provision. The failure of any party to enforce any provision of this
Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such provision and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 

  
 15

 (h)    Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Selection of Forum;
Waiver of Trial by Jury. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, termination, performance or nonperformance
of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such State, without regard to any conflict of laws principles thereof. Each party hereto agrees
that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim based upon, arising out of, or related to this agreement, any provision hereof or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York or any New York State court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of New York City (the “Chosen Courts”), and solely in connection with claims arising under this Agreement or the transactions that are the subject
of this Agreement (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, (b) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Chosen Courts and (c) waives any objection that the Chosen
Courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over any party hereto. Each party hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
EACH PARTY HERETO WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, MATTER OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 

(i)    Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not
affect the other provisions hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted. In the case of any such invalidity or unenforceability, each of the parties hereto agrees to
negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to replace such provision with a new legally valid and enforceable provision that gives effect to the original intent of the parties as closely as possible and in a mutually acceptable manner. 

(j)    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, including by electronic transmission
or portable document format (PDF), each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. 

(k)    Headings; No Strict Construction. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience
only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be
construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

(l)    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any certificates, documents, instruments and writings that are
delivered pursuant hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to
the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. 

  
 17 








 (m)    Termination. The obligations of the Company and of the Holder,
other than those obligations contained in Section 7 and this Section 10, shall terminate with respect to the Company and the Holder as soon as the Holder no longer beneficially owns any Registrable
Securities.
