THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED 

INTERNATIONAL CLAIMS ENFORCEMENT AGREEMENT 

This Third Amended and Restated International Claims Enforcement Agreement (this “Agreement”), effective as of June 14,
2021 (the “Restated Effective Date”), is made by and between Poplar Falls LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Funder”), on the one hand, and Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(“Odyssey”), and Exploraciones Oceánicas S. de R.L. de C.V., a Mexican sociedad de responsabilidad limitada de capital variable (“ExO” and, collectively with Odyssey, the
“Claimholder”), on the other hand. The Funder and the Claimholder may be referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Parties” or each individually as a “Party.” 

WHEREAS, the Funder is a company that provides funds to claimholders seeking financial assistance to pursue various litigation, arbitration,
fraud, and asset recovery claims and related rights; 
 WHEREAS, the Claimholder will pursue the Subject Claim (as defined below) directly;

 WHEREAS, the Claimholder is a sophisticated and experienced Person and wishes to enter this Agreement because this Agreement is
reasonable, necessary and beneficial to the Claimholder, carries substantial commercial and other value, and the Claimholder has concluded that entry into this Agreement is in its best interests; and 

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into an International Claims Enforcement Agreement dated June 14, 2019 (the “Initial Effective
Date”) which was subsequently amended and restated pursuant to an Amended and Restated International Claims Enforcement Agreement dated January 31, 2020, as further amended by an Amendment No. 1 to Amended and Restated
International Claims Enforcement Agreement dated June 3, 2020, and amended and restated again pursuant to a Second Amended and Restated International Claims Enforcement Agreement dated December 12, 2020 (collectively, the “Prior
Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Funder agreed to provide and has provided financial assistance to the Claimholder to facilitate the prosecution and recovery of the Subject Claim, in exchange for a certain portion of
any Proceeds, subject to the terms and conditions of the Prior Agreement. 
 WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to amend and restate the Prior
Agreement as set forth herein, effective upon the Restated Effective Date, to, among other things, increase the available funding provided by the Funder to the Claimholder.

 2. The Subject Claim. The Claimholder holds all rights, title and interest in and to the claim
by the Claimholder against the United Mexican States under Chapter Eleven of the North American Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) for violations of the Claimholder’s rights under NAFTA related to the development of an undersea
phosphate deposit off the coast of Baja Sur, Mexico (the “Project”), with the case caption “Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. on its own behalf and on behalf of Exploraciones Oceánicas S. de R.L. de C.V. and United
Mexican States” (the “Subject Claim”). 
 3. Right to Proceeds in the Subject Claim. Subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Claimholder desires to obtain certain funds to facilitate its pursuit of the Subject Claim, and the Funder agrees to make certain Claims Payments (as defined below) to fund the pursuit of the Subject Claim
in exchange for a certain portion of the Proceeds (as defined below) from the Subject Claim pursuant to this Agreement. 
 4. Non-Recourse; Characterization of Transaction. 
 4.1
Non-Recourse. In the event that no Proceeds are ever paid to or received by the Claimholder or its Representatives, the Funder shall have no right of recourse or right of action against the Claimholder
or its Representatives, or any of their respective property, assets, or undertaking, except as provided in Sections 7.1 and 12.4(a)(i) of this Agreement. If (i) Proceeds are paid to or received by the Claimholder or its
Representatives; (ii) such Proceeds are promptly applied and/or distributed by the Claimholder or on behalf of the Claimholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (iii) the amount received by the Funder as a result thereof
is not sufficient to pay all of the Recovery Percentage (see Section 7.3 below) and all other amounts due to the Funder under this Agreement, then (provided that all of the Proceeds which the Funder will ever be entitled to
have been paid to or received by the Funder), the Funder shall have no right of recourse or action against the Claimholder or its Representatives, or any of their property, assets, or undertakings, except as provided in Sections 7.1 and
12.4(a)(i). 

  
 2 












 4.2 Characterization of Transaction. The Parties acknowledge and agree that: 

(a) this Agreement does not in any way constitute the purchase or sale of the Subject Claim, but rather constitutes a purchase and sale of a
portion of the Proceeds (if any) arising from the Subject Claim as set forth in this Agreement; 
 (b) the Funder is purchasing from the
Claimholder, and the Claimholder is selling to the Funder, the right to a portion of the Proceeds resulting from the Subject Claim; and 

(c) the Claimholder is relinquishing its ownership rights to a portion of the Proceeds in favor of the Funder, and the Funder is assuming
those rights that Claimholder is relinquishing in favor of the Funder. 
 5. Payments to the Claimholder.  

5.1 Claims Payments. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, in exchange for its interest in Proceeds resulting from the Subject
Claim pursuant to this Agreement, the Funder agrees to make the following payments, for the purpose of funding Fees and Expenses (defined below) regarding the Subject Claim (the “Claims Payments”), incrementally and at the
Funder’s sole discretion in accordance with the Costs Plan as may be approved by the Funder from time to time. 
 5.2 Funding
Phases. The Funder shall make Claims Payments in multiple disbursements in an aggregate amount not to exceed US $25,000,000 (the “Maximum Investment Amount”). The Maximum Investment Amount will be made available to the
Claimholder as set forth below: 
 (a) A first phase (“Phase I”), in which the Funder shall make Claims Payments in an
aggregate amount no greater than US $1,500,000 for the payment of antecedent and ongoing costs (“Phase I Investment Amount”), which Phase I Investment Amount, as of the Restated Effective Date, has been fully funded. 

(b) A second phase (“Phase II”), in which the Funder shall make Claims Payments in an aggregate amount no greater than US
$6,300,000 (in two tranches as set forth in Section 5.2(c) below) for the purposes of pursuing the Subject Claim to a final award (“Phase II Investment Amount”), which Phase II Investment Amount, as of
the Restated Effective Date, has been partially funded. 
 (c) Upon exhaustion of the Phase I Investment Amount, the Claimholder shall have
the option to request Tranche A of the Phase II Investment Amount, consisting of funding up to US $3,500,000 (“Tranche A Committed Amount”). Upon exhaustion of the Tranche A Committed Amount, the Claimholder shall have the option to
request Tranche B of the Phase II Investment Amount, consisting of funding of up to US $2,800,000 (“Tranche B Committed Amount”). 

(d) Separate and apart from Phase I and Phase II, the Claimholder shall have the option to request up to US $2,200,000 (“Arbitration
Support Funds”) for the purpose of paying the Claimholder’s litigation support costs in connection with the Subject Claim. 

  
 3 












 (e) The Claimholder shall have the option to request an additional US $10,000,000 (the
“Phase III Investment Amount”) as follows. At any time and from time to time following the Restated Effective Date, the Claimholder may request up to an aggregate of US $5,000,000 (the “First $5M”) pursuant to the
procedures set forth in this Agreement. At any time and from time to time following exhaustion of the First $5M, the Claimholder may request up to an aggregate of another US $5,000,000 (the “Second $5M”) or seek the
Funder’s permission to self-fund the Second $5M itself, which permission the Funder may withhold in its absolute discretion. The Funder may also instead choose to fund the Second $5M itself. The Claimholder’s exercise of either option must
be accompanied by a Costs Plan for the funding tranche requested. This third phase of funding shall be referred to as “Phase III.” 

(f) The Parties acknowledge that as of the Restated Effective Date, all of the amounts described in paragraphs (a) through (e) above have
been requested by the Claimholder and, except for the Second $5M, disbursed by Funder and received and/or used by the Claimholder. The Second $5M has been requested by the Claimholder but not disbursed as of the Restated Effective Date. 

(g) The Claimholder shall request an additional US $5,000,000 (the “Phase IV Investment Amount”) as follows. The Claimholder
shall request funds to cover Fees and Expenses until such Fees and Expenses equal US $2,500,000 (the “First $2.5M”). Within 15 days of the exhaustion of the First $2.5M, the Claimholder may request funds to cover Fees and Expenses
until such Fees and Expenses equal an additional US $2,500,000 (the “Second $2.5M”). Alternatively, the Claimholder may notify the Funder within 15 days of the exhaustion of the First $2.5M of its decision to self-fund the Second
$2.5M itself.. If the Claimholder does not provide such self-funding notice to Funder within such 15-day period, Claimholder shall be deemed to have waived its right to self-fund the Second $2.5M. The
Claimholder’s exercise of either option must be accompanied by a Costs Plan for the funding tranche requested. All Claimholder requests for funds shall be made pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt,
the Claimholder has an obligation to request the First $2.5M, and the option, exercisable within 15 days of the exhaustion of the First $2.5M, to request the Second $2.5M. This fourth phase of funding shall be referred to as “Phase
IV.” 
 (h) For purposes of this Agreement, the Phase I Investment Amount, the Phase II Investment Amount, the Arbitration Support
Funds, the Phase III Investment Amount, and the Phase IV Investment Amount may be collectively referred to as “Investment Funds.” 

5.3 Exclusive Funding Source. Except as set forth in Section 5.7, Section 12.4(b)
and any other arrangements expressly agreed in writing from time to time between the Funder and the Claimholder, the Claimholder agrees that, upon exercising the Claimholder’s option to receive any portion of the Investment Funds, the Funder
shall be the sole source of third-party funding for the Fees and Expenses of the Subject Claim under each respective portion of the Investment Funds requested by the Claimholder, and the Claimholder shall obtain funding for the Fees and Expenses of
the Subject Claim only as set forth in this Section 5.  

  
 4 












 5.4 Funding Request. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Claimholder
requires funds to pay for the Fees and Expenses related to the Subject Claim, the Claimholder Representative (defined below) shall submit a request by delivery of a written notice that includes: (i) a description of the Fees and Expenses that
require immediate funding; (ii) the amount of the proposed Claims Payment; (iii) the number and location of the account to which the funds are to be disbursed; (iv) the payment date; (v) an estimate of Fees and Expenses projected
for the next three (3) months; and (vi) a clear statement describing whether the Investment Funds requested constitute (A) Arbitration Support Funds, (B) Phase I Investment Amount funds (C) Phase II Investment Amount funds,
(D) Phase III Investment Amount funds or (E) Phase IV Investment Amount funds (a “Funding Request”). The Funding Request must be received by the Funder at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the requested
payment date. On the payment date specified in the Funding Request, the Funder shall wire transfer to such account an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount of the Funding Request. The Parties will endeavor to ensure that Funding
Requests are consistent with the associated Costs Plan submitted to the Funder by the Claimholder for the Subject Claim in accordance with Section 11.1 below, which shall be updated from time to time as the circumstances
warrant. 
 5.5 No Liability for Other Expenses. Except for the payment of the Fees and Expenses as duly submitted in Funding Requests
in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Maximum Investment Amount, the Funder shall have no obligation to fund any fees, expenses or other sums in relation to the Subject Claim, and all such other fees, expenses or other sums shall be the sole
responsibility of the Claimholder. 
 5.6 No Commitment for Additional Financing. The Claimholder acknowledges and agrees that the
Funder has not made any representation, undertaking, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Claimholder in obtaining any financing, investment or other assistance, other than as set forth in this Agreement. In addition, the Claimholder
acknowledges and agrees that an obligation, commitment or agreement to provide or assist the Claimholder in obtaining any financing or investment other than by way of this Agreement may only be created by a separate written agreement, signed by the
Parties, setting forth the terms and conditions of such additional financing or investment and stating that the Parties intend for such writing to be a binding obligation or agreement. 

5.7 Follow-On Funding. Upon the Funder making Claims Payments to the Claimholder or its
designees in an aggregate amount equal to the Maximum Investment Amount, the Funder shall have the option to continue funding the Fees and Expenses in relation to the Subject Claim on the same terms and conditions provided in this Agreement. Funder
must exercise its option to continue funding in writing, within thirty (30) days after the Funder has made Claims Payments in an aggregate amount equal to the Maximum Investment Amount. If the Funder exercises its option to continue funding,
the Parties shall attempt in good faith to amend this Agreement to provide the Funder with the right to provide at the Funder’s discretion funding in excess of the Maximum Investment Amount, in an amount up to the greatest amount that may then
be reasonably expected to be committed for investment in Subject Claim. If the Funder declines to exercise its option, the Claimholder may negotiate and enter into agreements with one or more third parties (“Additional Funders”) to
provide funding, which Additional Funders shall be subordinate to the Funder’s rights under this Agreement. 

  
 5 












 5.8 Closing Fees. As of the Restated Effective Date, the Funder has retained a
closing fee of $80,000 from the Phase I Investment Amount, $80,000 from the Phase II Investment Amount, $200,000 from the Arbitration Support Funds, $200,000 from the Phase III Investment Amount, and $80,000 from the Phase IV Investment Amount
(collectively, the “Closing Fees”), all to pay third parties in connection with due diligence and other administrative and transaction costs incurred by the Funder prior to and in furtherance of execution of this Agreement. The
Closing Fees are part of the Maximum Investment Amount. 
 6. Management of Subject Claim; Fees and Expenses.  

6.1 Funder’s Passive Role. The Funder is not, and does not by virtue of entering into this Agreement become, a party to the Subject
Claim nor does the Funder have any rights as to the direction, control, settlement or other conduct of the Subject Claim. The Funder does not have any rights as to the direction, control or conduct of the Nominated Lawyers, other than to receive
advance written notice of the Claimholder’s selection of the Nominated Lawyers as set forth in Schedule 2.  
 6.2
Common Purpose. The Parties acknowledge and mutually represent to each other that it is their common purpose in concluding this Agreement to enable the Claimholder to pursue the Subject Claim. The Parties further agree that this common
purpose and all steps and actions required to achieve this common purpose, including any and all steps and actions required in accordance with the Claimholder’s obligation to cooperate with the Funder as set forth herein, are of the essence of
this Agreement. 
 6.3 Monetary Settlement of Subject Claim. The Parties acknowledge that their common interest is served by settling
the Subject Claim for a commercially reasonable amount. The Claimholder may at any time without the consent of the Funder either settle or refuse to settle the Subject Claim for any amount; provided, however, that if the Claimholder
settles the Subject Claim without the Funder’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, the value of the Recovery Percentage in Section 7.4 will be deemed to be the greater of
(a) the Recovery Percentage calculated based on the settlement amount (under Phase I, Phase II the Arbitration Support Funds, Phase III, or Phase IV, as applicable), or (b) the total amount of all Claims Payments made in connection with
such Subject Claim multiplied by three (3). 
 7. Receipt and Distribution of Proceeds.  

7.1 Receipt of Proceeds; Claims Escrow Account.  

(a) If, at any time, a Proceeds Recipient receives any Proceeds resulting from a Subject Claim (“Claimholder Proceeds”), the
Claimholder shall: (i) give immediate notice by email to the Funder of such receipt of Claimholder Proceeds, and all other material details related thereto; and (ii) deposit, or cause the Proceeds Recipient to deposit, the entire amount of
the Claimholder Proceeds into the Escrow Account. The Claimholder shall ensure, and cause its Representatives to ensure, that all Claimholder Proceeds received by a Proceeds Recipient are as soon as practicable, but in any event within two
(2) Business Days, deposited into the Escrow Account and not into any other account. 

  
 6 












 (b) During the period of time between receipt of any Claimholder Proceeds and the deposit
of the Claimholder Proceeds into the Escrow Account, the Proceeds Recipient will hold such Claimholder Proceeds in trust (or the local law equivalent where such Claimholder Proceeds are received) for the Parties. 

(c) If, at any time after the Initial Effective Date the Claimholder ceases the Subject Claim for any reason other than (i) a full and
final arbitral award against the Claimholder or (ii) a full and final monetary settlement of the claims, all Claims Payments under Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV and/or the Arbitration Support Funds, shall immediately convert to a
senior secured liability of the Claimholder. This sum shall incur an annualized Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of fifty-percent (50%) retroactive to the date each Funding Request was paid by the Funder (the “Conversion
Amount”). Such Conversion Amount and any and all accrued IRR shall be payable in full by the Claimholder within twenty-four (24) months of the date of such conversion, after which time any outstanding Conversion Amounts, shall accrue
an annualized IRR of one hundred percent (100%), retroactive to the date of each Funding Request. The Claimholder will execute such documents and take other actions as necessary to grant the Funder a senior security interest on and over all sums due
and owing by the Claimholder in order to secure its obligations to pay the Conversion Amount to the Funder. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Claimholder ceases the Subject Claim due to the grant of an environmental permit (with or without a
monetary component), all Claims Payments under Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV and/or the Arbitration Support Funds, shall immediately convert to a senior secured liability of the Claimholder and the terms of this
Section 7.1(c) shall apply. 
 (d) If, at any time after exercising its option to receive funds under Phase II,
Phase III, or Phase IV, the Claimholder wishes to fund the Subject Claim with its own capital (“Self-Funding”) (which excludes any Claims Payments made, either directly or indirectly, by any other third party), the Claimholder shall
immediately pay to the Funder the Conversion Amount; provided that this Section 7.1(d) shall not apply if after the Funder has made Claims Payments in an aggregate amount equal to the Maximum Investment Amount, the Funder does not exercise its
option to provide Follow-On Funding. 
 (e) In the event of any receipt of Proceeds, the Funder
shall be entitled to any additional sums above the Conversion Amount to which the Funder is entitled under Section 7.4 of this Agreement. Should the Claimholder cease the Subject Claim as described in
Section 7.1(c) after Self-Funding the Claim, accrued IRR and Penalty Interest shall be calculated and paid to the Funder in accordance with Section 7.1(c). The Funder’s rights to the Recovery
Percentage (under Section 7.4) shall survive any decision by Claimholder to utilize Self-Funding. 
 (f) For the
avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon the grant of the Environmental Permit (at any time and for any reason whatsoever, whether in connection with a proceeding or otherwise, and whether or not any
proceeding is dismissed, a cash award is granted along with the grant of the Environmental Permit, a cash award was granted to the Claimant previously, or any claim ceases to be prosecuted by the Claimant), all amounts funded under the Agreement
shall be converted into a senior secured recourse claim of the Claimants in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1(c) of this Agreement (including the provisions relating to IRR). However, the foregoing amount shall be reduced by the
amount of cash Proceeds awarded to the Claimant that have been disbursed to the Funder pursuant to the Agreement. “Environmental Permit” means a permit (or comparable document or authorization) issued by a competent authority
permitting the Claimholder to develop or otherwise exploit natural resources off the coast of Baja Sur, Mexico. 

  
 7 












 (g) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, and without limiting the security interest already granted pursuant to this Agreement, upon the conversion described in clause (f) above, the Conversion Amount shall be secured by a senior first priority security interest in all
Proceeds resulting from the Environmental Permit (which Proceeds includes all value that accrues to the Claimholders which would not have otherwise accrued to the Claimholders but for the issuance of such Environmental Permit, including, without
limitation, all accounts, cash and future income streams resulting from such issuance), and each of Odyssey and ExO shall promptly execute such documents and take such actions to give effect to the foregoing. 

7.2 Limited Direction of the Nominated Lawyers by the Funder. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Claimholder
hereby specifically authorizes and permits the Funder to direct the Nominated Lawyers to instruct, on the Claimholder’s behalf, any party related in any way to the Claimholder Proceeds that any such Claimholder Proceeds be paid to the Escrow
Account; provided, however, that the Funder, prior to so directing the Nominated Lawyers, gives notice to the Claimholder of its intention to do so and affords the Claimholder reasonable opportunity to discuss the advisability of doing
so. 
 7.3 Power of Attorney. The Claimholder irrevocably directs the Nominated Lawyers to take all steps necessary to ensure that any
and all Claimholder Proceeds are paid or delivered into the Escrow Account. The Claimholder herein grants to the Nominated Lawyers a full and irrevocable power of attorney (or local law equivalent where any Proceeds are received) to collect and
cause any and all Claimholder Proceeds to be paid into the Escrow Account. The Parties acknowledge and agree that such power of attorney (or local law equivalent where any Proceeds are received) is of the essence of this Agreement and is a condition
thereof and that any material variation or termination of such power of attorney by the Claimholder will entitle the Funder to terminate this Agreement. 

7.4 Distribution of Claimholder Proceeds. On each Distribution Date, the Claimholder and Funder shall jointly direct the Nominated
Lawyers to make from the Escrow Account distributions of the Claimholder Proceeds in accordance with subparagraph (a) or (b) below (the “Recovery Percentage”), as applicable: 

(a) [Intentionally omitted.] 

(b) Phase I, Phase II, Phase III, Phase IV and Arbitration Support Compensation. In connection with Phase I,
Phase II, the Arbitration Support Funds, Phase III, and Phase IV (if the Claimholder exercises its options to receive all or any portion of the Phase IV Investment Amount), the Funder shall receive from the first Proceeds: 

(i) First, 100% to the Funder until the cumulative amount distributed to the Funder equals the total Claims Payments paid by
the Funder under, as applicable, Phase I, Phase II, the Arbitration Support Funds, Phase III, and/or Phase IV; 

  
 8 












 (ii) Second, 100% to the Funder until the cumulative amount distributed to
the Funder equals an additional 300% of Phase I Investment Amount (i.e., 300% of $1.5 million); plus an additional 300% of the Phase II Committed Amount (i.e., 300% of $6.3 million); plus an additional 300% of the Arbitration Support Funds
(i.e., 300% of $2.2 million); plus, an additional 300% of the Phase III Investment Amount (i.e., 300% of $10 million); plus, if the Claimholder exercises the Phase IV funding option, an additional 300% of the Phase IV Investment Amount actually paid
by the Funder as Claims Payments (i.e., 300% of up to $5 million); 
 (iii) Third, 100% to the Funder until the cumulative
amount distributed to the Funder equals an additional amount equal to the product that results from multiplying (x) a fraction, the denominator of which is 10,000 and the numerator of which is the amount equal to the total Claims Payments paid
by the Funder under Phase I, Phase II, the Arbitration Support Funds, Phase III, and Phase IV, times (y) 0.0001, times (z) the amount determined by subtracting the amount distributed to the Funder pursuant to subparagraphs
(i) and (ii) above from the aggregate amount of Claimholder Proceeds; and 
 (iv) Thereafter, 100% to the Claimholder.

 7.5 Reasonableness of Recovery Percentage. The Claimholder acknowledges and agrees that the Recovery Percentage and the amounts due
to the Funder hereunder are commercially reasonable in nature and amount. The Claimholder’s obligations and the Funder’s rights under Section 7.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

7.6 Payments by Wire. On the Distribution Date, the Claimholder and Funder shall cause the Nominated Lawyers to pay any sum due to the
Funder or Claimholder, as applicable, by wire transfer from the Escrow Account to the bank account specified in writing by the Funder or Claimholder, as applicable. 

7.7 No Withholding. All payments to be made hereunder by the Claimholder shall be made without
set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings
or restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed against the Claimholder. If any of the foregoing Taxes or charges are imposed and required to be withheld by law from any such
payment (subject to the requirement to obtain a Tax Opinion pursuant to Section 15.1), the Claimholder shall notify the Funder of the imposition of withholding Taxes or charges and, in addition to paying the full amounts
due hereunder (in compliance with Section 15.3), pay such Taxes and charges to the appropriate taxing authority for the account of the Funder and, as promptly as possible thereafter, send the Funder an original receipt (or
a copy thereof that has been stamped by the appropriate taxing authority to certify payment) showing payment thereof, together with such additional documentary evidence as the Funder may from time to time reasonably require. If the Claimholder fails
to perform its obligations under the preceding sentence, the Claimholder shall indemnify the Funder for any such Taxes and charges that are paid by the Funder plus all incremental Taxes and charges, interest or penalties that may become payable as a
consequence of such payment failure. 

  
 9 












 7.8 Currency. All payments to the Funder hereunder shall be made in United States
Dollars, regardless of any law, rule, regulation or statute, whether now or hereafter in existence or in effect in any jurisdiction, which affects or purports to affect such obligations. If the Proceeds Recipient receives Proceeds in another
currency, then calculation of the United States Dollars to be paid to the Funder shall be made using the spot rate of exchange quoted by a financial institution selected by the Funder and having recognized foreign exchange capabilities on the date
on which the Proceeds Recipient receives Proceeds. 
 7.9 Late Payments. Other than as set forth in
Section 7.1(c) or Section 12, payments or distributions to the Funder pursuant to this Section 7 not made when due shall bear interest at a rate of 2.5% per month,
compounded daily, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, until received by the Funder. 
 8. Secured
Transaction.  
 8.1 Security. The Claimholder hereby recognizes the Funder’s priority right, title, and interest in
any Proceeds, including against any available Collateral to secure its obligations under this Agreement, which security interest shall be first in priority as against all other security interests in the Proceeds. The Claimholder acknowledges and
agrees to execute and authorize the filing of a financing statement or similar and to take such other actions in such jurisdictions as the Funder, in its sole discretion, deems necessary and appropriate to perfect such security interest. For the
avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 8.1 shall be interpreted to be a grant of a security interest by each of Odyssey and ExO in all Collateral, and each of Odyssey and ExO hereby
grants a security interest in all Collateral, as further provided for in this Agreement. 
 8.2 Further Assurances. The Claimholder
shall promptly take all steps, and provide such assistance as the Funder may reasonably request, for the purpose of perfecting the Funder’s first priority charge in the Collateral, including the entering into agreements and the making of any
filings or notifications necessary or desirable in connection therewith. 
 8.3 Obligations Unaffected by Insolvency. All obligations
of the Claimholder under this Agreement, including this Agreement and any documents provided by way of security, are intended to survive the insolvency or liquidation of the Claimholder, including any Insolvency Proceeding. 

9. Representations and Warranties of the Funder. The Funder hereby represents and warrants to the Claimholder that as of the Initial
Effective Date: 
 9.1 the Funder has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement has been authorized by all requisite corporate or equivalent action, and this Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Funder; and 

9.2 the Funder’s execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and will not conflict with or result in a violation of the
Funder’s governing documents or any statute, law, order, rule or regulation of any relevant Governmental Authority applicable to the Funder.

knowledge of the Claimholder’s officers and directors, any of its Representatives has engaged in any acts or conduct or made any material omissions, agreements or arrangements, that would result in the Funder receiving proportionately less

neither the Claimholder nor, to the knowledge of the Claimholder’s officers and directors, any of its Representatives has set-off or agreed to set-off any amounts

Representatives that is or is reasonably likely to be material to the Funder’s assessment of the Subject Claim that has not been disclosed to the Funder and the Claimholder believes (and does not have, and has not been informed by any of its

contingent interest in, or to grant a right to payment determined by reference to, the Subject Claim or the Proceeds thereof in favor of any Person; 

10.14 the Claimholder has the full power and authority to bring the Subject Claim and to instruct the Nominated Lawyers; 

10.15 the Claimholder has not failed to disclose to the Funder any fact or facts of which it (or its Representatives) is aware that would, if

 11. Covenants and Obligations.  

11.1 Costs Plans. Within thirty (30) calendar days of the Restated Effective Date, the Claimholder shall develop and deliver to the

employees or agents as set forth on Schedule 3 attached hereto to serve as its primary contact with respect to this Agreement and to act as its authorized representative with respect to matters pertaining to this Agreement (the
“Claimholder Representative”), with such designation to remain in force unless and until a successor is appointed, in the Claimholder’s reasonable discretion, and the Claimholder notifies the Funder of such change in writing in
accordance with Section 23.5. The Claimholder Representative shall be responsible for all notices and reporting obligations under this Agreement. 

11.3 Duty to Cooperate. The Claimholder shall pursue the Subject Claim zealously and in a commercially reasonable manner. The
Claimholder shall irrevocably instruct the Nominated Lawyers to keep the Funder fully and continually informed of all material developments (including the matters set out below) and to provide the Funder with copies of all Documents material to the
Subject Claim. The Claimholder and the Funder agree that the Nominated Lawyers may not disclose information or documents that the Nominated Lawyers reasonably believes could or would jeopardize any privilege, including the attorney-client privilege,
of the Claimholder. Additionally, the Claimholder shall, as requested by the Nominated Lawyers: 
 (a) cooperate with the Nominated Lawyers

Subject Claim, and shall execute all papers and render assistance to the Nominated Lawyers and his or her designees so as to secure to the Funder the benefits, rights and causes of action provided for herein. The Claimholder shall: (i) do
nothing that is reasonably likely to prejudice such benefits, rights or causes of action, and (ii) engage in no conduct or commercial arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse impact in any way on the Subject Claim or
the value of the Proceeds; and 
 (d) authorize and instruct the Nominated Lawyers and his or her designees to respond fully and promptly to

 13 












 The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Claimholder’s obligation to cooperate as set out in this
Section 11.3 is of the essence of this Agreement and is a condition thereof and a continuing obligation and that any uncured material breach thereof that has a material adverse impact on the value of the Subject Claim or
the Proceeds shall entitle the Funder to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2.  
 11.4
Additional Covenants.  
 (a) Except for a Limited Encumbrance, the Claimholder may not dispose of, transfer, assign or cause
or permit the imposition of any Encumbrance on any of its right, title or interest in or relating to the Subject Claim, the Proceeds, or its beneficial interest in the foregoing in whole or in part, including the right to control litigation of the
Subject Claims. Before executing a Limited Encumbrance, the Funder shall be provided (i) notice of the Claimholder’s intent to pursue the Limited Encumbrance; and (ii) the option to provide the Claimholder with financing to be
obtained through the Limited Encumbrance on the same or similar terms, which option must be exercised within forty-five (45) days of its receipt. Limited Encumbrances shall not be used for purposes of Self-Funding. 

(b) The Claimholder shall meet the Reporting Requirement at all times until this Agreement expires or is otherwise terminated and shall keep
the Funder fully and promptly apprised of any material developments in relation to Subject Claim. The Claimholder shall respond fully and promptly to any request by the Funder for non-privileged information
regarding Subject Claim. 
 (c) The Claimholder agrees and undertakes that neither it nor any of its Representatives (i) will institute
any action, suit, or arbitration separate from the Subject Claim arising from the same facts, circumstances or law giving rise to the Subject Claim without the Funder’s knowledge and consent, which consent may be withheld in Funder’s sole
discretion; (ii) will take any step reasonably likely to have a materially adverse impact on the Subject Claim or the Funder’s share of any Proceeds; or (iii) will take any step that would give any Person or entity an interest in the
Subject Claim or potential Proceeds except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement. 
 (d) The Claimholder covenants to cooperate in the
prosecution of the Subject Claim, including by promptly and fully assisting its Legal Representatives as reasonably necessary to conduct and conclude the Subject Claim. 

(e) The Claimholder shall not negotiate for or accept any other third party investment, financing or funding of any type (including debt,
equity or otherwise), from whatever source, and whether or not in cash, in connection with the Subject Claim without the prior written consent of the Funder, which consent may be withheld in Funder’s sole discretion, except after following the
procedures of Section 5.7 and Section 11.4(a), as applicable. 
 (f) The Claimholder
shall immediately disclose to the Funder any material information related to any actual or potential conflicts of interests arising out of the Claimholder’s interests in Subject Claim and any material information known to the Claimholder
related to any actual or potential conflicts of interests arising out of any interests in Subject Claim. 

  
 14 












 (g) The Claimholder shall use reasonable care to manage all Fees and Expenses and review all
invoices relating thereto to ensure that they are reasonable. 
 (h) The Claimholder shall ensure that no Proceeds are or will be released
except in accordance with this Agreement. 
 (i) In consideration of Funder’s willingness to make available the Investment Funds, the
Claimholder hereby grants Funder and its Affiliates a right of first refusal (the “Debt ROFR”) entitling the Funder or its Affiliates to repay all or any portion of the Claimholder’s outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money
(“Covered Debt”) , which indebtedness is more specifically described in the Claimholder’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. If the Claimholder or any other Person intends to repay the Covered
Debt, the Claimholder shall deliver written notice of such intention (the “ROFR Notice”) to Funder at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date (the “Intended Repayment Date”) on which the Claimholder or
such other Person intends to repay the Covered Debt. If Funder desires to exercise the Debt ROFR and repay the Covered Debt, Funder must (i) deliver written notice of its desire to exercise the Debt ROFR (an “Exercise Notice”)
to the Claimholder within five (5) Business Days after Funder’s receipt of the ROFR Notice and (ii) pay or cause to be repaid the Covered Debt on or before the Intended Repayment Date. If Funder fails to deliver an Exercise Notice to
the Claimholder within five (5) Business Days after Funder’s receipt of the ROFR Notice, Funder will be deemed to have elected not to exercise the Debt ROFR. The Debt ROFR may be exercised (or not) by Funder or its Affiliates in its
absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debt ROFR will not apply to (x) any renegotiation by Claimholder of the terms of any Covered Debt with the existing holder of such Covered Debt or (y) any repayment by Claimholder of
Covered Debt owed to an Affiliate of Claimholder. 
 11.5 Cooperation on Insurance Matters. The Parties shall cooperate with each
other to obtain adverse costs, political risk or similar insurance, if deemed necessary and desirable in the reasonable discretion of the Funder. 

12. Term and Termination.  

12.1 Term. This Agreement expires on the (i) date upon which all amounts owing by the Claimholder to the Funder pursuant to this
Agreement have been satisfied and paid in full to the Funder, or (ii) the date upon which either Party terminates the Agreement; 
 12.2
Termination by the Funder. The Funder may terminate this Agreement by providing ten (10) calendar days written notice to the Claimholder after the occurrence of any of the following events. The notice shall reasonably describe the
alleged breach which is the basis of such termination and clearly state the Funder’s intent to terminate this Agreement if the alleged breach is not cured within ten (10) calendar days of the Claimholder’s receipt of the notice. 

(a) Any representation or warranty given by the Claimholder was untrue in any material respect as of the Initial Effective Date or the
Restated Effective Date of this Agreement; 
 (b) Any breach by the Claimholder of a material provision of this Agreement that has a
material adverse effect on the value of the Subject Claim or the Proceeds; 

  
 15 












 (c) An event, circumstance or condition has occurred or been discovered after the Initial
Effective Date of the Agreement which would reasonably be expected to render it unlikely that the Claimholder Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the amounts corresponding to Sections 7.4(a) and Section 7.4(b) of this Agreement, as applicable,
including the occurrence of any event or development with respect to the Subject Claim that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in the dismissal, discontinuation or denial of any material portion of the Subject Claim or the relief
sought thereunder; or 
 (d) Claimholder becomes insolvent and is subject to Insolvency Proceedings. 

12.3 Termination by the Claimholder. The Claimholder may terminate this Agreement by providing ten (10) calendar days written
notice to the Funder after the occurrence of any of the following events. The notice shall reasonably describe the alleged breach which is the basis of such termination and clearly state the Claimholder’s intent to terminate this Agreement if
the alleged breach is not cured within ten (10) calendar days of the Funder’s receipt of the notice. 
 (a) The Funder declines a
Funding Request that has been duly submitted in accordance with the Agreement. 
 (b) Any breach by the Funder of a material provision of
this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the value of the Subject Claim or the Proceeds; or 
 (c) An Insolvency Proceeding has
been commenced by or against the Funder. 
 12.4 Effect of Termination.  

(a) Upon termination of this Agreement by the Funder pursuant to Section 12.2:  

(i) if such termination is due to a breach of the duty to cooperate under Section 11.3 or
Section 14.4, then within ten (10) days of such termination notice, the Claimholder (or its successor, as provided in Section 23.1) shall pay the Funder an amount (such amount, the
“Damage Amount”) equal to the greater of: (i) the Conversion Amount (see Section 7.1(c) above); or (ii) the aggregate amount of all Claims Payments multiplied by three (3). The Funder’s right
to payment of the Damage Amount exists regardless of whether any Claims Proceeds have been received. If the Claimholder fails to pay the Damage Amount, the unpaid portion of the Damage Amount shall bear interest at a rate of fifteen percent (15%)
per annum, accruing daily and compounded annually on December 31st of each calendar year, until paid; and 
 (ii) if such
termination is due to any other reason, the Claimholder shall pay the Funder from the Proceeds of any Subject Claim to this Agreement an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Claims Payments made as of the date of such termination plus
ten percent (10%) interest, accruing daily and compounded annually on December 31st of each calendar year, until paid; and the payment obligations of the Claimholder under Section 7 shall not apply. 

  
 16 












 (b) In the event the Claimholder terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 12.3, the Claimholder shall pay the Funder from the Proceeds of any Subject Claim an amount equal to the total amount of all Claims Payments made through the date of termination plus an annualized IRR of 15%, on all
Claims Payments made through the date of termination (the “Claimholder Termination Amount”). The Claimholder may also negotiate and enter into agreements with one or more third parties (“Additional Funders”) to
provide funding to pursue and enforce the Subject Claim. 
 (c) Following termination of this Agreement, the Funder shall be entitled, in
order to protect its own interest in relation to this Agreement, to keep copies of the Documentation, including Confidential Information provided to it by the Nominated Lawyers. 

(d) Termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to the right of the Funder to any Proceeds or other payments under this Agreement
(including pursuant to Section 7) or to claim damages in relation to this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided for in this Agreement. 

13. Mutual Covenants Regarding Confidential Information.  

13.1 Exclusive Ownership of Information by Disclosing Party. The Recipient agrees and acknowledges that all Confidential Information
provided to it is and shall remain at all times the exclusive property of and owned by the Disclosing Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, and that the Recipient’s use or awareness of such Confidential Information shall create no
rights, at law or in equity, in the Recipient in or to such information, or any aspect or embodiment thereof. Neither the execution of this Agreement, nor the furnishing of any Confidential Information hereunder, shall be construed as granting,
whether expressly or by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license to distribute or title to any patent, trademark, copyright, service mark, business and trade secret or other proprietary right to such Confidential Information, or to use such
Confidential Information for any purpose other than as specified in this Agreement or to constitute a waiver of any attorney-client privilege or work product protection. 

13.2 Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information and Common Interest Material. The
Recipient shall not for any reason, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years following expiration or termination of this Agreement, disclose, use, reveal, report, publish, transfer or make available, directly or
indirectly, to any Person other than its Representatives who are authorized pursuant to this Agreement, any Confidential Information or Common Interest Material provided to it except in connection with the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement. 
 13.3 Confidentiality Procedures. The Recipient shall ensure that the Confidential Information it receives is not
divulged or disclosed to any Person except its Representatives who have a “need to know” such information. The Recipient shall ensure its Representatives’ compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall be solely
responsible for any failure by it or its Representatives to so comply. 

  
 17 












 13.4 Judicial and Official Disclosure Requests. If the Recipient is requested in any
judicial or administrative proceeding or by any Governmental Authority to disclose any Confidential Information, then the Recipient shall (so far as practicable and lawful) promptly provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of such request
prior to disclosing such Confidential Information, so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order. The Recipient shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking such a protective order. If, in the absence of a protective
order, the Recipient determines it is obliged to disclose such Confidential Information, the Recipient may, without liability hereunder, furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information that the Recipient has determined it is obliged to
furnish and shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance from the applicable court, administrative agency, Governmental Authority or other Person to whom disclosure is being made that confidential treatment will be accorded such
Confidential Information to the maximum extent contemplated by this Agreement. 
 13.5
Non-Circumvention. The Recipient agrees that it shall not directly or indirectly interfere with, circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, avoid, by-pass or obviate
the interest of the Disclosing Party in the businesses or relationships referred to in the disclosures contemplated hereby that constitute Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Recipient shall be responsible for any losses incurred as a
result of a breach of this Section 13.5.  
 14. Information and Privilege.  

14.1 The Claimholder shall instruct the Nominated Lawyers (and shall direct any future attorneys representing it) to, among other things,
provide to the Funder copies of any and all material Documentation together with all material Confidential Information, that the Nominated Lawyers may receive at any time while engaged by the Claimholder, as applicable, from the Claimholder, or from
any other third party in relation to the Subject Claim. The Claimholder shall instruct the Nominated Lawyers (and shall direct any future attorneys representing it) in connection with Subject Claim and shall instruct the Claimholder Representative
in connection with Subject Claim to, among other things: 
 (a) notify the Funder of any material verdict, award, settlement, discontinuance
or ending with respect to the Subject Claim; 
 (b) respond to reasonable requests for material information from the Funder; and 

(c) call the Funder prior to any delivery or payment to the Funder to verify the amount due to the Funder under this Agreement. 

14.2 The Parties agree that they have a “common legal interest” in the Subject Claim, this Agreement, and any discussion, evaluation
and negotiation and other communications and exchanges of information relating thereto. 
 14.3 Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that any Common Interest Material shall at all times remain subject to all applicable privileges and protections from disclosure, including the attorney-client privilege or any similar privilege in any
jurisdiction including, for the avoidance of doubt, legal professional privilege 

  
 18 












 
or litigation privilege, common interest privilege, work-product immunity doctrine, and any applicable rules of professional secrecy in any jurisdiction, it being the express intent of the
Parties and their Representatives to preserve intact to the fullest extent applicable, and not to waive, by virtue of this Agreement, any action contemplated under this Agreement, or otherwise, in whole or in part, any and all privileges and
immunities to which Common Interest Material, or any part of it, are, may be subject or may become subject in the future. It is the good faith belief of the Disclosing Party that common interest privilege attaches to the Common Interest Material. No
disclosure of the Common Interest Material would occur without the protection of that privilege. 
 14.4 The Parties further acknowledge and
agree that the Claimholder’s undertakings set out in this Section 14 are continuing and are part of its duty to cooperate with the Funder and are of the essence of the Agreement and a condition thereof and that any
material breach of such undertakings shall entitle the Funder to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.2. 
 14.5
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties agree that the Claimholder shall have no obligations to make, and the Nominated Lawyers and Claimholder Representative may not make, any disclosure or deliveries
under or in respect of this Section 14 or otherwise unless such disclosure or delivery, as applicable, is made in furtherance of the common interest and does not adversely affect in any way the confidentiality of such
privileged information. 
 14.6 The Funder may operate under and contract with an affiliated law firm for work in pursuit of recoveries of
the Subject Claim, and all information regarding such Subject Claim shared between such law firm, the Funder, the Claimholder, the Nominated Lawyers and their respective Representatives, shall constitute work product. The affiliated law firm’s
Fees and Expenses shall not exceed $150,000 per annum. Sections 7.4 (a) and 7.4 (b) shall not apply in calculating repayment of these Fees and Expenses. 

15. Tax Matters.  

15.1 No Withholding. Pursuant to Section 7.7, the Claimholder shall make all payments under or in connection
with this Agreement without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax except to the extent required by applicable law, as reflected in a legal opinion or memorandum of an internationally recognized tax counsel or accounting firm
obtained by Claimholder and reasonably acceptable to the Funder, such opinion being addressed to the Funder or otherwise expressly permitting the Funder to rely on such opinion (“Tax Opinion”). If any such deduction or withholding
is required by law to be made, the Claimholder shall comply with Section 7.7 and Section 15.3, and shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered the related Tax Opinion to the Funder. 

15.2 Tax Efficient Structure. Each Party shall attempt, in good faith, to structure the receipt of Proceeds in the most tax-efficient manner practicable so that there are no unnecessary deductions or withholdings (a “Tax Efficient Structure”), and will consider, in good faith, reasonable Tax Efficient Structures for
payment of the Proceeds and other payments due to the Funder recommended by tax counsel or advisors to the Claimholder in that regard, and will consider, in good faith, commercially reasonable methods (including a trust) to effect the foregoing. The
Claimholder and the Funder hereby agree that their respective tax counsel or advisors shall consult with each other in order to implement a Tax Efficient Structure. 

  
 19 












 15.3 Tax Indemnification. Except with respect to any Tax assessed on the Funder under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated and any Tax which has already been the subject of a gross up pursuant to this Agreement, if the Funder is or will be subject to any liability or required to make any payment, or receives a
lesser amount as a result of any withholdings or deductions for or on account of Tax in relation to a sum received or receivable (or any sum deemed for the purposes of Tax to be received or receivable) under this Agreement, the Claimholder shall,
within fifteen (15) days of demand by the Funder, pay to the Funder an amount equal to the loss, liability, reduction in amounts paid to Funder or cost which the Funder determines will be or has been (directly or indirectly) suffered for or on
account of Tax by the Funder in respect of any payment made (or deemed made) by the Claimholder under or in connection with this Agreement (the “Additional Amount”), which amount will be sufficient to ensure that the total amount
received by the Funder, after deducting for Taxes (including Taxes on the Additional Amount), will be the same as if no such Taxes had been imposed. 

16. Relationship of the Parties.  

16.1 Independent Actors. The Funder and the Claimholder are independent actors. This Agreement does not create any joint venture,
partnership or any other type of affiliation, nor does it create a joint interest in the Subject Claim, for any purpose, including for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes. 

16.2 No Practice of Law. The Funder, its Affiliates and their investment advisers are engaged in an investment business that has as its
principal focus assets that are connected to fraud, asset recovery, litigation, arbitration or mediation. The Funder and its Affiliates and their investment advisers are not law firms and are not engaged in the practice of law with respect to the
Subject Claim or otherwise. The Claimholder agrees that it shall not rely on the Funder, its Affiliates or their investment advisers for legal or other professional advice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Funder may engage affiliated law firms
(including Halcyon Law Group, PLLC) to provide the Funder with legal advice from time to time relating to the Subject Claim. 
 16.3 No
Other Relationship. The Parties agree that nothing in this Agreement shall give rise to or be construed to create a fiduciary, lawyer-client, agency or other non-contractual relationship between the
Parties. 
 17. Indemnification. 

17.1 Indemnification of the Funder by the Claimholder. The Claimholder agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Funder and its
Representatives (“Funder Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all actions, losses, costs, charges, damages, claims, sanctions, penalties and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and costs of experts and
advisors) (collectively, “Losses”) which any Funder Indemnitee has sustained or may sustain at any time for reason of: (a) the breach of, inaccuracy of, or failure to comply with, or the existence of any facts resulting in the
inaccuracy of, any of the warranties, representations, or covenants of the Claimholder contained in this Agreement 

  
 20 












 
or in any exhibits or documents, delivered by the Claimholder pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Subject Claim; (b) any costs, sanctions, awards or penalties assessed or
awarded against the Funder Indemnitees in connection with this Agreement or the Subject Claim; or (c) any claim by any agent or broker for compensation on account of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in
writing by the Parties; or (c) any legal proceedings connected with the Subject Claim brought against the Funder. 
 17.2
Indemnification of the Claimholder by the Funder. The Funder agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Claimholder and its Representatives (“Claimholder Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all Losses which
any Claimholder Indemnitee has sustained or may sustain at any time for reason of: (a) the breach of, inaccuracy of, or failure to comply with, or the existence of any facts resulting in the inaccuracy of, any of the warranties,
representations, or covenants of the Funder contained in this Agreement or in any exhibits or documents, delivered by the Funder pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or the Subject Claim; or (b) any claim by any agent or broker for
compensation on account of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. 
 17.3
Indemnification Procedures. Any Party that seeks, or receives notice of a third party claim that seeks, indemnification (“Indemnified Party”) hereunder shall promptly notify the Party from which the Indemnified Party will
seek indemnification (“Indemnifying Party”) of such claim in writing. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of such action at its cost with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party but
shall not have the right to settle or compromise any claim or action for anything other than monetary payments without prior written consent of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense with its
own counsel at its cost. 
 17.4 Additional Obligations of Claimholder; Related Indemnity. Except as provided in
Section 5.7, Section 11.4(a) and Section 12.4(b), the Claimholder shall not enter into any engagement agreement providing for or otherwise granting a contingent interest
in the Subject Claim or the Proceeds thereof with any Person. The Claimholder agrees to indemnify the Funder to the extent necessary to ensure that the amount actually received by the Funder in respect of payments due from the Claimholder equals the
amount which the Funder would have received if all of the Persons with a contingent interest in the Subject Claim or Proceeds other than the Funder had not held such contingent interest. 

18. Limitation of Liability.  

18.1 Subject to Section 18.2, the liability of the Funder under this Agreement is limited to payment of the Fees and
Expenses pursuant to a Funding Request in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement not to exceed the Maximum Investment Amount. The Funder shall have no obligation to pay any sums awarded against, or penalties incurred by, the Claimholder,
including any costs, orders, awards, interest, damages, expenses or penalties against the Claimholder in relation to any Subject Claim or defending any enforcement or other proceedings against the Claimholder. 

  
 21 












 18.2 There shall be no other liability of the Funder under this Agreement or related to it,
or related to its activities in connection with this Agreement, except for gross negligence or fraud, in each case that has a material adverse effect on the Subject Claim or the Claimholder. This limitation of liability is absolute and excludes
liability, by way of illustration and not limitation, for negligence, and for any damages that may constitute compensatory damages, lost profit, punitive, special or indirect damages or otherwise. This limitation of liability extends to the Funder
and its Affiliates and Representatives and their successors and assigns. 
 18.3 Any claim by the Claimholder against the Funder in breach of
the limitation of liability provided by this Section 18 constitutes a breach of contract entitling the Funder to recovery of damages and its costs and expenses incurred in relation thereto. 

19. Certain International Provisions.  

19.1 Government Authorizations. The Claimholder represents and warrants to the Funder that it has obtained all consents, licenses,
authorizations and approvals of, or exemptions from, any Governmental Authority that are necessary or advisable for (a) the execution, delivery and performance by the Claimholder of the terms of this Agreement and (b) the enforceability of
this Agreement. The Claimholder represents and warrants to the Funder that it is not necessary for the Funder to be authorized by any Governmental Authority to make the Claims Payments or to enforce the Funder’s rights under this Agreement.

 19.2 Recordation; Registration. The Claimholder represents and warrants to the Funder that to ensure the legality, validity,

stamp or similar Tax, imposition or charge of any kind be paid on or in respect of the Agreement. 
 19.3 Foreign Exchange. The

it is necessary for this Agreement to be translated into any language other than English for purposes of complying with any requirements of any Governmental Authority, the English language version of this Agreement shall prevail in any dispute as to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement among the Parties. The Claimholder hereby waives any defense to the nonperformance of this Agreement based on the expression of this Agreement in the English language. 

19.5 Commercial Transaction. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated represent commercial activities. The Claimholder agrees to
be subject to and be bound by any judicial or arbitral proceedings in respect of any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The Claimholder further agrees not to assert immunity from execution of judgment or from the enforcement
therein of any judgment on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise in respect of any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 

  
 22 












 20. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution.  

20.1 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all disputes and other matters arising under or in respect of this Agreement (whether in
contract, tort or otherwise), shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to its conflict of law rules to the extent they would require application of the law of another jurisdiction. 

20.2 Arbitration. THIS AGREEMENT IS SUBJECT TO BINDING ARBITRATION. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement, including any question regarding its formation, existence, validity, interpretation, performance, breach or termination shall (to the exclusion of any other forum) be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration administered
by JAMS (the “Administrator”) in accordance with its then-effective International Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”), except to the extent any such Rules conflict with the express provisions of this Section 20.2.
Any attempt by the Claimholder to seek relief or remedies in any forum other than the forum required above shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and entitle the Funder to damages, equitable relief and full indemnification against all costs and
expenses incurred in connection therewith. The Claimholder expressly agrees that its agreement to arbitrate, and any resulting award, falls under the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, and the
Federal Arbitration Act, and agrees that this Agreement has a reasonable relation to a foreign state, envisages performance outside the United States and relates to property outside the United States. 

20.3 Procedure for Arbitration.  

(a) The arbitral tribunal (“Tribunal”) shall consist of three arbitrators. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator and the
two arbitrators appointed by the Parties shall, within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the second Party-appointed arbitrator, agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall act as Chair of the Tribunal. If any of the three
arbitrators are not appointed within the time period prescribed above, then JAMS shall appoint the arbitrator(s). 
 (b) The seat, or legal
place, of arbitration shall be Miami, Florida and all proceedings shall occur there. 
 (c) The language to be used in the arbitral
proceedings shall be English. 
 (d) In connection with any arbitration proceeding, each Party shall produce the documents that it intends
to rely upon in the proceeding. No other document production is permitted. 
 (e) Each Party may take up to two depositions. No deposition
shall exceed five hours (excluding breaks) and each deposition shall be completed within one day. 
 (f) In connection with any arbitration,
each Party shall provide to the other, no later than seven (7) Business Days before the date of the arbitral hearing on the merits, the identity of all Persons that may testify at the arbitration along with a brief two-to-three sentence summary of the subject matter of such testimony, and a copy of all documents that may be introduced at the arbitration or considered or used by such
Party’s witness or expert marked by exhibit number and sponsoring witness. 

  
 23 












 (g) For any expert witness, the proponent must furnish their CV, a list of prior testimony
and publications for the preceding four (4) years, and a summary and basis of any opinions. This disclosure must be made at least twenty (20) Business Days in advance of any arbitral hearing on the merits. 

(h) The Tribunal’s decision and award shall be made and delivered within four (4) months from the date that the third arbitrator is
appointed and shall set forth a reasoned basis for any award of damages or finding of liability. The decision and award shall not require findings of fact and conclusions of law. The Tribunal shall not have power to award damages that are
specifically excluded under this Agreement, and each Party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages. 
 (i) The Tribunal shall
have the discretion to require one Party to such arbitration to bear all or a portion of the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of the other Party to the arbitration, but any such fee shifting must be based on a finding that the
Party’s position on the merits or conduct of the arbitration was unreasonable or in bad faith. 
 20.4 Confidentiality. The
Parties agree that any proceedings under this Section 20 as well as any documents and filings produced or exchanged in connection with those proceedings, shall remain confidential, except as may be necessary to prepare for
or conduct such proceedings or to enforce or vacate a resulting award unless otherwise required by applicable law. The Parties shall not disclose either the contents of any proceedings hereunder, or the result thereof, without the express written
consent of all Parties, except as required by applicable law, or to the extent necessary in connection with any financial audit. 
 20.5
Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Party shall be entitled to seek interim injunctive relief or interim equitable relief whenever the circumstances permit such Party to seek such relief in a
court of competent jurisdiction. 
 20.6 Exclusive Remedy. Arbitration as set forth above shall be the exclusive remedy of the Parties
for resolving disputes under this Agreement. Any attempt by either Party to seek relief or remedies in a forum other than the forum required above shall constitute a breach of this Agreement and entitle the other Party to damages, equitable relief
and full indemnification against all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. 
 20.7 Waiver of Defenses. The Claimholder,
being a sophisticated entity with access to counsel, irrevocably waives and forever and unconditionally releases, discharges and quitclaims any claims, counterclaims, defenses, causes of action, remedies or rights that it has or may have in the
future arising from any doctrine, rule or principle of law or equity that this Agreement or the relationships and transactions contemplated by this Agreement (a) are against the public policy of any relevant jurisdiction; (b) are
unconscionable or contravene any laws relating to consumer protection; (c) are usurious or call for payment of interest at a usurious rate; or (d) constitute champerty, maintenance, barratry or any impermissible transfer or assignment of
property or choses in action. The Parties specifically agree that any issues concerning the scope or validity of the foregoing waiver shall be within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Tribunal. 

  
 24 












 21. Waiver of Trial by Jury. Each of the Parties hereby waive trial by jury in any
action or proceeding to which they may be parties, arising out of or in any way pertaining to this Agreement (other than with respect to the Subject Claim). It is agreed and understood that this waiver constitutes a waiver of trial by jury of all
claims against all parties to such actions or proceedings, including claims against parties who are not parties to this Agreement. This waiver is knowingly, willingly and voluntarily made by each of the Parties, and each of the Parties hereby
represent that no representations of fact or opinion have been made by any individual to induce this waiver of trial by jury or to in any way modify or nullify its effect. The Parties further represent that they have had the opportunity to be
represented in the signing of this Agreement and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel, selected of their own free will, and that they have had the opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel. 

22. Legality. The Claimholder, hereby declares and agrees that this Agreement, including the arrangement between the Parties and
Nominated Lawyers contemplated thereby, does not violate (and irrevocably agrees not to assert any claim it may have to enforce or any defense based on) any civil or criminal law of the United States of America or the United States of Mexico,
including any prohibition on champerty, maintenance, or barratry that may exist. The Claimholder further agrees to take all appropriate measures to oppose any assertion by any third party that this Agreement, including the arrangement between the
Parties and Nominated Lawyers contemplated thereby, is unlawful as a violation of any prohibition on champerty, maintenance, or barratry or otherwise. 

23. Miscellaneous Provisions.  

23.1 Entire Agreement; Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement, together with its schedules, each Statement of Subject Claim executed
by the Parties, shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties, and shall supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations between the Parties with respect to the subject matter thereof. To the extent that the Parties
entered into any earlier confidentiality or other agreements, those agreements are hereby terminated and this Agreement shall solely govern the Parties’ relationship. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the
Parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, and legal representatives. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any rights, interests, obligations or duties arising hereunder, may be assigned or otherwise conveyed
by Claimholder without the express consent in writing of the Funder. The Funder may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the Claimholder and may also appoint a servicing entity to administer this Agreement.

 23.2 Amendments; Waivers. Any amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and bear the
signature of a duly authorized representative of each Party. No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived except in a written instrument that bears the signature of a duly authorized representative of each Party. No delay on the part of
either Party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Party hereunder shall preclude any further exercise thereof 

  
 25 












 23.3 Survival. The provisions of this Agreement relating to representations and
warranties, confidentiality, indemnity, tax, limitation of liability, and dispute resolution shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement, as shall a general obligation to pay any Proceeds pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 

23.4 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person, place or
circumstance, shall be held to be invalid, unenforceable or void, the remainder of this Agreement and such term, provision, covenant or condition as applied to other Persons, places and circumstances shall remain in full force and effect. 

23.5 Notices. All notices, reports, legal service and other communications (a “Notice”) required or permitted under
this Agreement shall be in writing. Notices shall be delivered by hand, internationally recognized overnight air courier service, fax or email to the Parties at their addresses and numbers indicated on Schedule 3 to this Agreement or at such
other addresses or numbers as may be specified hereafter in writing by a Party to the other Party in accordance with this Section 23.5. Any Notice shall be deemed to have been delivered and received (a) on the date
delivered, if delivered personally by hand or sent by internationally recognized overnight air courier or (b) on the date sent if sent by fax or email. Any Notice that is sent by fax or email must be confirmed by sending, within one
(1) Business Day of transmission of the electronic communication, a hard paper copy thereof to the recipient by hand delivery or by internationally recognized overnight air courier; provided, however, that the effective date of
such notice shall be as specified in clause (b) above, and if the recipient actually receives the fax or email, then the Notice shall be deemed to have been given and delivered as of the date sent even if the recipient never receives a hard
copy as called for in this Section 23.5.  
 23.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, taken together, shall constitute one agreement binding on all Parties. Copies of executed counterparts may be exchanged by facsimile, email or other electronic
transmission, and such an exchange shall constitute effective delivery by the Parties of their respective executed counterparts. 
 23.7
Force Majeure. Any delay or failure of either Party to perform its obligations under this Agreement will be excused to the extent that the delay or failure was caused directly by an event beyond such Party’s control, without such
Party’s fault or negligence and that by its nature could not have been foreseen by such Party or, if it could have been foreseen, was unavoidable (which events may include natural disasters, embargoes, explosions, riots, wars or acts of
terrorism) (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). Each Party shall give the other Party prompt written notice of any event or circumstance that is reasonably likely to result in a Force Majeure Event, and the anticipated duration of such
Force Majeure Event. The Parties shall use all diligent efforts to end the Force Majeure Event, ensure that the effects of any Force Majeure Event are minimized and resume full performance under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no
event will a Force Majeure Event excuse a breach by Claimholder of its obligations with respect to the Proceeds and/or payments owed to Funder under this Agreement.
