shareholders of the Company, or in any written consent in lieu of such a meeting of shareholders, to cause the removal of a Majority Sponsor Director, if the Majority Sponsor who nominated such Director designates such Director for removal and shall
take all other actions necessary to cause such removal and shall not take any actions which are inconsistent with the intent and purpose of the foregoing. Except in accordance with the foregoing, no Sponsor or Syndicatee shall vote its Shares or any

Company (to the extent such Securities have voting rights) at any annual general or extraordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Company at which action is to be taken with respect to any Stockholder Reserved Matter, or in any written
consent or resolution in lieu of such a meeting of shareholders, against any Stockholder Reserved Matter unless Sponsors representing the Requisite Consent have first given written notice to each other Sponsor that they are in favor of the approval

by the shareholders of the Company unless the Sponsors have given the Requisite Consent. 

  

	2.5.	Board Reserved Matters. 

  

	 	(a)	For so long as the Sponsors hold in aggregate at least 25% of the Shares, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, take any of the following actions (the Board Reserved

 18 

	 	(E)	the payment of reasonable and customary fees and compensation to, and indemnities provided on behalf of, officers or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, subject in each case to paragraph (xiii) of

 ARTICLE 3. TRANSFERS AND ISSUANCE OF SHARES 

 

	3.1.	Tag-Along. 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section 3.1, except for Affiliate Transfers, Public Sales pursuant to paragraph (i) of such definition and sales pursuant to a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the
Exchange Act, no Sponsor holding 5% or more of the Shares shall Sell any Shares to a Third Party unless each Tag-Along Shareholder, or another entity designated by such Tag-Along Shareholder, shall have been given the right (but not an obligation)
to elect to Sell, subject to the consummation of the proposed Sale, at the same price and on the same terms and conditions, such number of Shares held by the Tag-Along Shareholder equal to the product of (i) the total 

  
 19 

	 	
number of Shares held by such Tag-Along Shareholder multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Shares proposed to be sold by the Selling Shareholder and
the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Shares owned by the Selling Shareholder at the Closing Date (a Tag-Along Sale). 

  

	 	(b)	With respect to a Tag-Along Sale, a Selling Shareholder shall deliver to each of the Tag-Along Shareholders and the Coordination Committee a written notice no later than 5 Business Days in the case of a Sale other than
a Public Sale pursuant to paragraph (ii) of such definition, or 2 Business Days in the case of a Public Sale pursuant to paragraph (ii) of such definition, prior to its proposed entry into definitive documentation in respect of the
proposed Tag-Along Sale (the Tag-Along Notice), which shall specifically identify in the event of a Tag-Along Sale, the proposed Third Party purchaser (other than in the event of a Public Sale pursuant to paragraph (ii) of such
definition), the number of Shares being Sold and the purchase price therefor (including if consideration will consist in part or in whole of property other than cash) (other than in the event of a Public Sale pursuant to paragraph (ii) of such
definition), and shall offer the right (the Tag-Along Right) to each of the Tag-Along Shareholders to Sell an amount of Shares equal to the amount that may be Sold by such Tag-Along Shareholder pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Section 3.1 at the purchase price and upon the other terms set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. 

  

	 	(c)	Each Tag-Along Shareholder shall have the right to deliver to the Selling Shareholder an irrevocable written notice within 5 Business Days of the date of receipt of the Tag-Along Notice in the case of a Sale other than
a Public Sale pursuant to paragraph (ii) of such definition, or within 2 Business Days of the date of receipt of the Tag-Along Notice in the case of a Public Sale pursuant to paragraph (ii) of such definition, indicating the number of
Shares, up to the amount of Shares that such Tag-Along Shareholder is eligible to Sell pursuant to Section 3.1(a), desires to Sell on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. 

 

	 	(d)	The Coordination Committee shall in good faith determine the process in respect of, and manage, any Tag-Along Sale, including but not limited to the process by which the Tag-Along Shareholders may exercise their
Tag-Along Right. 

  

	 	(e)	If the Third Party purchaser is not willing to purchase all the Shares proposed to be Sold by the Selling Shareholder and Tag-Along Shareholders who exercise their Tag-Along Rights, then the number of Shares the Selling
Shareholder and each Tag-Along Shareholder is permitted to Sell in such Tag-Along Sale shall be reduced pro rata based on the relative number of Shares held by the Selling Shareholder and Tag-Along Shareholders participating in such Tag-Along Sale.

  
 20 

	 	(f)	If any Sponsor intends to adopt a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, it shall deliver to each other Sponsor and the Coordination Committee a written notice containing details of the trading plan
no later than 2 Business Days before the date on which it intends to adopt the trading plan. A Sponsor shall not be permitted to adopt a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act without the prior written consent of each other
Sponsor. 

  

	3.2.	Drag-Along. 

  

	 	(a)	If a Majority Sponsor (the Initiating Majority Sponsor) proposes to Sell any Shares (other than pursuant to an Affiliate Transfer), then such Majority Sponsor shall require its respective Drag-Along
Parties to Sell, at the same economic terms and conditions that apply to the Sale by such Majority Sponsor, a number of their Shares equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares held by such Drag-Along Party (or, in the case of the GS
Syndicatees only, the relevant Majority Sponsor’s Aggregation Pro Rata Share of the total number of Shares held by the GS Syndicatees) multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares that the Majority Sponsor
proposes to Sell and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by such Majority Sponsor. 

  

	 	(b)	With respect to any Sale of Shares pursuant to Section 3.2(a), the Initiating Majority Sponsor shall deliver a written notice (a Drag-Along Notice) to each of its respective Drag-Along
Parties no later than 2 Business Days prior to the consummation of the proposed Sale, setting forth the name and address of the purchaser (other than in the event of a Public Sale), the number of Shares to be Sold by each of the Majority Sponsor and
the Drag-Along Party, the amount and form of the consideration, and all other material terms and conditions offered by the purchaser (other than in the event of a Public Sale). Upon delivery of a Drag-Along Notice, the relevant Drag-Along Party
shall be required to Sell that number of Shares required to be Sold by it pursuant to Section 3.2(a), subject to the consummation of the proposed Sale at the same price and on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Drag-Along Notice.
Each relevant Drag-Along Party shall (i) take all such actions in such manner as may be necessary and appropriate to ensure that the Sale is consummated and (ii) shall bear its proportionate share of all Third Party transaction fees and
expenses in connection with such Sale. 

  

	 	(c)	No Syndicatee shall Sell any Shares (other than a Sale pursuant Article 3.3, 4.1 or 4.2 of this Agreement or an Affiliate Transfer) except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2. A Majority Sponsor
may agree with any of its Drag-Along Parties that the number of Shares to be Sold by that Drag-Along Party shall be increased or decreased provided the number of Shares to be Sold by the Majority Sponsor is also adjusted so that the total aggregate
number of Shares to be Sold by the Majority Sponsor and the relevant Drag-Along Party remains unchanged. 

  

	3.3.	Syndicate Transfers. 

  

	 	(a)	If a Syndicatee desires to Sell all (but not less than all) of the Shares held by it to which this Agreement applies, then a right of first offer shall apply to each Sponsor with respect to such Sale in accordance with
the following provisions: 

  
 21 

	 	(i)	The relevant Syndicatee shall provide each Sponsor and the Coordination Committee with a written notice (a Syndicatee Sale Notice) of its desire to Sell such Shares, which shall specify the number of
Shares such Syndicatee wishes to Sell (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not be less than all of the Shares held by such Syndicatee to which this Agreement applies), the purchase price for such Shares and any other terms and conditions
material to the Sale proposed by such Syndicatee. 

  

	 	(ii)	Each Sponsor shall have the right to deliver to the Syndicatee an irrevocable written notice within 5 Business Days after delivery of the Syndicatee Sale Notice (the Syndicatee Sale Election Period),
indicating the number of Shares, up to all of the Shares offered, that such Sponsor (and/or its Affiliates) desires to acquire, directly or indirectly, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Syndicatee Sale Notice. 

 

	 	(iii)	The relevant Shares shall be allocated among the Sponsors that provided written notice prior to the end of the Syndicatee Sale Election Period such that each Sponsor (and/or its Affiliates) receives the lesser of
(A) the number of Shares such Sponsor (and/or its Affiliates) desires to purchase and (B) a pro rata proportion of such Shares based on the relative number of Shares held by the Sponsors that provided written notice prior to the end of the
Syndicatee Sale Election Period. If any of the Shares offered are not Sold, the relevant Sponsors and the Syndicatee shall discuss in good faith whether such Sponsors (and/or their respective Affiliates) wish to acquire such remaining Shares on the
same terms. 

  

	 	(iv)	If the Sponsors (and/or their respective Affiliates) do not elect to purchase or cause the purchase of all of the Shares covered by the Syndicatee Sale Notice before the end of the Syndicatee Sale Election Period, the
selling Syndicatee may Sell such Shares at any time within 90 days following the end of the Syndicatee Sale Election Period, at a price which is not less than the purchase price and on other terms and conditions no more favorable to the purchaser
than those specified in the Syndicatee Sale Notice; PROVIDED THAT: (i) the proposed purchaser must be approved by each of the Sponsors (in their absolute discretion) before consummation of the Sale of the Shares by the Syndicatee; and
(ii) the proposed purchaser must execute a Joinder Agreement prior to the Sale. 

  

	 	(b)	The Coordination Committee shall in good faith manage any Sale process in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(a) and the provisions of the Applicable Coordination Requirements. 

  
 22 

	 	(c)	No Syndicatee shall be entitled to initiate a Sale process pursuant to Section 3.3(a) before the third anniversary of the Closing Date. 

 

	3.4.	Coordination Committee. 

  

	 	(a)	The Sponsors shall create a coordination committee (the Coordination Committee) (which shall not be a committee of the Board) and shall maintain such committee until the earliest of the following (the
Coordination Committee Period): (i) the termination or expiration of this Agreement; (ii) the agreement in writing of the Sponsors to disband such committee; or (iii) such time as no more than one Sponsor beneficially
owns any Shares. During the Coordination Committee Period, the Coordination Committee shall, to the extent provided by the Applicable Coordination Requirements, facilitate the coordination of any Sales of Shares by the Sponsors (including but not
limited to any Sale of Shares pursuant to the provisions of Article 3 and Article 4), and the Sponsors shall cooperate with each other, as reasonably necessary, with respect to any such Sales. Each of the Sponsors shall be entitled to designate one
member of the Coordination Committee. The procedures governing the conduct of the Coordination Committee and the cooperative conduct required by the Sponsors (the Applicable Coordination Requirements) shall be established from time to
time by the unanimous consent of each of the Sponsors who is entitled to designate a member of the Coordination Committee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (but without limiting or otherwise modifying the provisions of Article 3 or
Article 4 of this Agreement or any Applicable Coordination Requirements that may apply from time to time), the Coordination Committee shall not be permitted to block or otherwise prohibit or limit Sales of Shares by the Sponsors. 

 

	 	(b)	A Sponsor shall not be entitled to designate a member of the Coordination Committee if it ceases to hold at least 5% of the Shares. To the extent any Sponsor ceases to be entitled to designate a member of the
Coordination Committee, the size of the Coordination Committee shall be deemed to automatically decrease accordingly and such designated member shall immediately cease to be a member of the Coordination Committee. 

 

	3.5.	Transferee Obligations in Respect of Affiliate Transfers. In the event of an Affiliate Transfer, if the transferee is not already a Party, the transferee must execute the Joinder Agreement prior to the Sale. Upon
execution of the Joinder Agreement, the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accept such transferee as a party to this Agreement. In the event of an Affiliate Transfer, the transferor shall be jointly and severally liable for the
performance by the transferee of its obligations under this Agreement. 

  

	3.6.	Subscription Rights. 

  

	 	(a)	 Each Sponsor and each Syndicatee shall have the right to subscribe for and purchase its Subscription Right Pro Rata Share (as defined below) of newly
issued equity Securities that the Company may from time to time propose to issue following the IPO (a New Issuance). The Subscription Right Pro Rata 

  
 23 

	 	
Share of a Sponsor or Syndicatee shall be, at any given time, that proportion, calculated prior to any proposed New Issuance, which the number of equity Securities owned by such
Sponsor or Syndicatee at such time bears to the total number of equity Securities issued and outstanding at such time. 

  

	 	(b)	In the event that the Company proposes to undertake a New Issuance, it shall give each of the Sponsors and Syndicatees a written notice (the Notice of Issuance) of its intention to issue and sell such
equity Securities, the price, the identity of the purchaser and the principal terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Sponsor and each Syndicatee shall have five Business Days from the delivery date of any Notice of Issuance to
elect to subscribe for and purchase a number of equity Securities up to its Subscription Right Pro Rata Share of equity Securities for the price and upon the terms specified in the Notice of Issuance by giving written notice to the Company and
stating therein the number of equity Securities to be purchased by such Sponsor or Syndicatee. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event that any Sponsor or Syndicatee fails to subscribe for and purchase all of its Subscription Right Pro Rata Share pursuant to this Section 3.6, the Company shall have 90 days after the date of the Notice of
Issuance to consummate the issuance and sale of the equity Securities with respect to which such the subscription right of a Sponsor or Syndicatee was not exercised, at or above the price and upon terms not more favorable to the purchasers of such
equity Securities than the terms specified in the initial Notice of Issuance given in connection with such sale; PROVIDED, however, that the preceding restrictions on the price and terms and conditions of any such issuance and sale shall not
apply to sales based on the prevailing market price of such equity Securities on the New York Stock Exchange or any other public trading medium at the time that any such issuance and sale is effected. 

 

	 	(d)	The Parties hereby agree that the subscription rights described in this Section 3.6 shall not be exercisable with respect to: 

  

	 	(i)	any issuance of Shares to officers, employees or directors of the Company in connection with such person’s employment or director arrangements with the Company pursuant to any employee benefit plan of the Company
adopted by the Board in accordance with Sections 2.4 and/or 2.5 (as applicable); 

  

	 	(ii)	any stock dividend or any share split or other subdivision or combination of the outstanding Shares, provided that such change has been approved in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (if relevant);

  

	 	(iii)	any issuance of Shares upon the exercise, exchange, redemption or conversion of securities directly or indirectly convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares; and 

 

	 	(iv)	any issuance of Shares as consideration in connection with a merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company or a business acquisition by the Company, provided that such issuance has been approved by the Board and
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (if relevant).

 ARTICLE 4. REGISTRATION RIGHTS 

 

	4.1.	Demand Registration. 

  

	 	(a)	Form F-1 Demand. If at any time following the Lock-up Release Date, the Company receives a request from a Sponsor or Sponsors holding more than 50% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding other than
Registrable Securities held by a Syndicatee or a Management LP (which shall not be taken into account for this calculation) that the Company file a Form F-1 registration statement with respect to the resale of Registrable Securities of such Sponsor
or Sponsors where the anticipated gross proceeds (before the deduction of any discounts or commissions) would be at least $100 million, the Company shall: (i) within two Business Days after the date such request is given, give notice thereof
(the Demand Notice) to all Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs other than the Initiating Sponsors; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within 30 Business Days after the date such request is given by the
Initiating Sponsors, file a registration statement (including on or after the Form F-3 Eligibility Date in the event the Company is no longer eligible to use Form F-3, without limitation, a Shelf Registration Statement) on Form F-1 under the
Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that the Initiating Sponsors requested to be registered and any additional Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Sponsor or any Syndicatee or Management
LP, as specified by notice given by each such Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP to the Company within five Business Days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Sections 4.1(e) and 4.3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any request for filing of an F-1 Registration Statement is for a Shelf Registration Statement and is issued on or after the Form F-3 Eligibility Date as provided above, then the requirement set forth above that the
request be issued by a Sponsor or Sponsors holding more than 50% of the Registrable Securities then outstanding does not apply and the Company shall be obligated to file a Form F-1 registration statement as set forth above if the anticipated gross
proceeds (before the deduction of any discounts or commissions) of the resale of Registrable Securities of the Sponsor or Sponsors demanding such registration would be at least $100 million. 

 

	 	(b)	 Form F-3 Demand. If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form F-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from a Sponsor or
Sponsors that the Company file a Form F-3 registration statement (including, without limitation, a Shelf Registration Statement) with respect to the resale of Registrable Securities of such Sponsor(s) where the anticipated gross proceeds (before the
deduction of any discounts and commissions), would be at least $100 million, then the Company shall: (i) within five Business Days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Sponsors, Syndicatees and Mangers other than
the Initiating Sponsors; and (ii) as soon 

  
 25 

	 	
as practicable, and in any event within 30 Business Days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Sponsors, file a Form F-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering
all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Sponsor or any Syndicatee or Management LP, as specified by notice given by each such Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP to the Company within 10 Business Days
of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Sections 4.1(e) and 4.3. If at any time the Sponsors collectively own less than the number of Shares that would be expected to result in anticipated gross
proceeds (before deduction of any discounts and commissions) of at least $100 million, then the threshold for a Form F-3 demand will be reduced to $50 million anticipated anticipated gross proceeds (before deduction of any discounts and
commissions). 

  

	 	(c)	The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as reasonably practicable following the filing thereof with
the SEC and to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective (or replace it with a new Shelf Registration Statement) until the earlier of such date when all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration
Statement or the Shares covered thereby no longer constitute Registrable Securities. The Company shall promptly amend, renew or replace, as necessary, any Shelf Registration Statement that shall have expired or otherwise been deemed unusable and
shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such amended, renewed or replaced Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act as specified in this Section 4.1(c). The “Plan of Distribution”
section of any such Shelf Registration Statement shall permit all lawful means of disposition of Registrable Securities, including firm-commitment underwritten public offerings, block trades, agented transactions, sales directly into the market,
purchases or sales by brokers and sales not involving a public offering. 

  

	 	(d)	Any demand registration hereunder may be for an underwritten offering. Upon the written request from a Sponsor or Sponsors, the Company will facilitate in the manner described in this Agreement an underwritten offering,
including an underwritten shelf take-down of Registrable Securities of such Initiating Sponsor or Sponsors off an effective Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with any such underwritten shelf take-down, the Sponsors, Syndicatees and
Management LPs may exercise piggyback rights in the manner described in this Agreement to have included in such underwritten shelf take-down Registrable Securities held by them that are registered on such Shelf Registration Statement. Upon the
demand of a Sponsor, the Company will file and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to seek the effectiveness of a post-effective amendment to an existing Shelf Registration Statement in order to register up to the number of Shares
previously taken down off such Shelf Registration Statement and not yet “reloaded” onto such Shelf Registration Statement. 

  
 26 

	 	(e)	Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to Sponsors requesting a registration pursuant to this Section 4.1 a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that
in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would
be required to remain effective, because such action would: (i) materially interfere with any bona fide material financing of the Company or a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar material transaction involving
the Company; or (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such
filing, and any time periods with respect to filing or effectiveness thereof shall be tolled correspondingly, for a period of not more than 60 Business Days after the request of the Initiating Sponsors is given; PROVIDED THAT the Company:
(Y) may not invoke this right more than twice in any twelve (12) month period; and (Z) shall not register any Securities for its own account (other than as contemplated by paragraph (e)(i) above or for the sole purpose of the sale of
Securities to employees, directors or consultants of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan) or for the account of any other holder of Securities during such period. 

 

	 	(f)	The Company shall not be obligated to: (i) effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to Section 4.1(a) if the Initiating Sponsors propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities
that may be immediately registered on Form F-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 4.1(b), including, without limitation, by means of a Shelf Registration Statement take down, or (ii) effect more than one registration or
underwritten public offering pursuant to this Article 4 during any 90 day period. 

  

	4.2.	Piggyback Registration. 

  

	 	(a)	If the Company proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Company for shareholders other than the Sponsors, Syndicatees or Management LPs) any of its Securities under the
Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such Securities other than in an Excluded Registration, the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP notice of such registration. Upon the request
of each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP given within 5 Business Days after such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities that
each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP has requested to be included in such registration. The Company or such other shareholders shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it or them, as applicable, under this
Section 4.2 before the effective date of such registration, whether or not any Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. The expenses (other than Selling Expenses) of such withdrawn
registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 4.6. 

  
 27 

	 	(b)	In connection with any shelf take-down at the initiative of the Company, the Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs may exercise piggyback rights in the manner described in this Agreement to have included in such
takedown Registrable Securities held by them that are registered on such Shelf Registration Statement. 

  

	 	(c)	The Company shall identify the potential underwriters(s) for an underwritten offer pursuant to this Section 4.2, which underwriter(s) shall be an investment banking firm(s) of national standing and shall be subject
to the approval of the Sponsors participating in such offer (if any), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. 

  

	4.3.	Offering Requirements. 

  

	 	(a)	If, pursuant to Section 4.1, the Initiating Sponsors intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwritten offering, they shall so advise the Company as a part of
their registration request made pursuant to Section 4.1 (or, alternatively, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement takedown, a written request to the Company). In the event of an underwritten offering pursuant to this
Section 4.3(a), (A) the Initiating Sponsors shall provide such request in writing to the Company at least ten Business Days’ prior to the expected date of the proposed offering and (B) the Company shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Sponsors and the potential underwriters to effect such underwritten offering as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Within two Business Days after the receipt of the request from the Initiating
Sponsors, the Company shall give written notice of the proposed underwritten offering under this Section 4.3(a) to each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP (or, in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement takedown, to each Sponsor,
Syndicatee and Management LP whose Registrable Securities are included in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement), which notice may be the Demand Notice in the case of a request under Section 4.1(a) or 4.1(b), and shall specify the type of
offering, the number and type of Registrable Securities proposed to be offered and the proposed managing underwriter(s). Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.3, each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP that requests in writing within
five Business Days after the receipt of the Company’s written notice described in the preceding sentence that all or a portion of its Registrable Securities be included in the proposed underwritten offering shall be permitted to include such
Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering. Sponsors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall identify the potential underwriters(s) for such underwritten offer, which
underwriter(s) shall be an investment banking firm(s) of national standing and shall be subject to the Company’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Notwithstanding any other provision of this 

  
 28 

	 	
Section 4.3, if the managing underwriter advises the Company, the Sponsors, the Syndicatees and the Management LPs participating in such offering in writing that marketing factors require a
limitation on the number of Shares to be underwritten, then the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among such Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs, including the Initiating Sponsors, in
proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP or in such other proportion as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Sponsors; PROVIDED THAT the
number of Registrable Securities held by the Sponsors, the Syndicatees and the Management LPs to be included in such underwriting shall not be reduced unless all other Securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. 

 

	 	(b)	If the total number of Securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by shareholders to be included in an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 4.2 exceeds the number of Securities to be sold (other
than by the Company) that the underwriters advise the Company in writing (a copy of which shall be provided to the selling Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs) can be sold without having a material adverse effect on such offering including the
price at which such Shares can be sold, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such Securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company in their sole discretion determine
will not materially impact the price. If the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering
shall be allocated among the selling Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each selling Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP or in such other proportions
as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the number of Registrable Securities included in the offering be reduced unless all other Securities (other
than the Securities to be sold by the Company) are first entirely excluded from the offering. 

  

	 	(c)	For the purposes of the provisions of this Section 4.3 concerning apportionment, for any selling Sponsor that is a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, the partners, members, retired partners,
retired members, shareholders, and Affiliates of such Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP, as applicable, or the estates and Immediate Family Members of any such partners, retired partners, members, and retired members and any trusts for the
benefit of any of the foregoing Persons, shall be deemed to be a single “selling Sponsor”, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “selling Sponsor” shall be based upon the aggregate number of Registrable Securities owned
by all Persons included in such “selling Sponsor”, as defined in this sentence. 

  
 29 

	 	(d)	All Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs proposing to distribute their Securities through an underwritten offering pursuant to this Article 4 shall (together with the Company as provided in Section 4.4(e))
enter into an underwriting agreement with the underwriter(s) selected for such offering, with such agreement to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and the selling shareholders and such other terms and provisions as are
customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions. 

  

	 	(e)	If the Initiating Sponsors desire to effect an offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement that does not constitute an underwritten offering (a Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown), the Initiating
Sponsors shall so indicate in a written request delivered to the Company no later than two Business Days prior to the expected date of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which request shall include (i) the total number and type of
Registrable Securities expected to be offered and sold in such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown, (ii) the expected plan of distribution of such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown and (iii) the action or actions required (including the timing
thereof) in connection with such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown. To the extent necessary to effect such Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) file and effect an amendment or
supplement to the applicable Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as reasonably practicable and (y) enter into and perform its obligations under documents or certificates customary in similar offerings, including, without
limitation, placement agent agreements with the applicable brokers. Upon the receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown to the other Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs whose
Registrable Securities are included in the Shelf Registration Statement and each such Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP that requests in writing that all or a portion of its Registrable Securities be included in the Non-Underwritten Shelf
Takedown shall be permitted to include such Registrable Securities in the Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file an amendment or supplement to its registration statement within 30
days of a previous amendment or supplement with respect to a Non-Underwritten Shelf Takedown. 

  

	4.4.	Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Article 4 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as promptly as possible: 

 

	 	(a)	 prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Sponsors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration statement effective
(i) in the case of a registration statement other than a Shelf Registration Statement 120 days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in such registration statement has been completed; PROVIDED THAT: such 120 day period
shall be extended for a period of time equal to the 

  
 30 

	 	
period the Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs refrain, at the request of an underwriter of Securities of the Company, from selling any Securities included in such registration; (ii) in
the case of a Shelf Registration Statement, the date on which all Registrable Securities covered thereby have been sold pursuant to such registration (or, if earlier, the first date on which no Registrable Securities remain outstanding); or
(iii) such other period as may be specified in this Article 4; 

  

	 	(b)	prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement, and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement, as may be necessary to comply with the Securities Act
in order to enable the disposition of all Securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in 4.4(a); 

  

	 	(c)	furnish (without charge) to the selling Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs, upon request, such numbers of copies of the prospectus, including the applicable preliminary prospectus, as required by the Securities
Act, and such other documents as the Sponsors, Syndicatees or Management LPs may reasonably request in order to facilitate their disposition of their Registrable Securities; 

 

	 	(d)	use its commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) register and qualify the Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue-sky Laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably
requested by the selling Sponsors; (ii) keep the registration and qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect; and (iii) take any and all other actions which may be necessary or advisable to enable
the Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs holding the Registrable Securities or underwriters to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Securities to be sold by such Sponsors, Syndicatees, Management LPs or underwriters;
PROVIDED THAT the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions, unless the Company is already
subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; 

  

	 	(e)	in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement with the underwriter(s) of such offering, with such agreement to contain such representations and
warranties by the Company, the Sponsors, the Syndicatees and the Management LPs and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in underwriting agreements with respect to secondary distributions; 

 

	 	(f)	use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on the national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and
trading system (if any) on which similar Securities issued by the Company are then listed; 

  
 31 

	 	(g)	use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in
each case not later than the effective date of such registration; 

  

	 	(h)	use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to the underwriter, in the event of an underwritten public offering, at the request of any Sponsor requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Article 4: (A) on the date on which such Registrable Securities are settled, an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to
underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters; and (B) a “comfort” letter dated the date of pricing of such offering and a customary “bring-down” letter dated the settlement date, from the
independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters; 

 

	 	(i)	promptly notify each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP participating in the offering and each managing underwriter: (A) when such registration statement, any pre-effective amendment, the prospectus or any
prospectus supplement related thereto or post-effective amendment to such registration statement has been filed, and, with respect to such registration statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective; (B) of the
receipt by the Company of any comments from the SEC or receipt of any request by the SEC for additional information with respect to any registration statement or the prospectus related thereto or any request by the SEC for amending or supplementing
the registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith; (C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or blue sky Laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation of any
proceeding for such purpose; and (E) at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in
such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made), and in the case of this paragraph (E), promptly prepare and furnish, at
the Company’s expense, to each participating Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP and each managing underwriter a number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to
the purchasers of such Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made; 

  
 32 

	 	(j)	deliver promptly to counsel to the Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs and each underwriter, if any, participating in the offering of the Registrable Securities, copies of all correspondence between the SEC and the
Company, its counsel or auditors and all memoranda relating to discussions with the SEC or its staff with respect to such registration statement; 

  

	 	(k)	use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement; 

 

	 	(l)	cause its officers and employees to participate in, and to otherwise facilitate and cooperate with, the preparation of the registration statement and prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto (including,
without limitation, participating in meetings, drafting sessions, due diligence sessions and the marketing of the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement (including, without limitation, participation in “road shows”))
taking into account the Company’s commercially reasonable business needs; 

  

	 	(m)	enter into and perform its obligations under such customary agreements (including, without limitation any applicable underwriting agreement) and take such other actions as the majority of the Sponsors participating in
the offering or managing underwriter(s) shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; 

  

	 	(n)	promptly incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as the managing underwriter(s) or a majority of the Sponsors holding Registrable Securities included in a registration
statement reasonably request to be included therein relating to the “Plan of Distribution” section with respect to such Registrable Securities, and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon
as practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; 

  

	 	(o)	upon the written request of any Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP who is included in a Shelf Registration Statement, supplement or amend a Shelf Registration Statement as necessary to add or delete Sponsors as
selling shareholders and to change the amounts of securities offered; 

  

	 	(p)	cooperate with each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP participating in the offering and each underwriter, and their respective counsel, in connection with any filings required to be made with the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the New York Stock Exchange, or any other securities exchange on which such Registrable Securities are traded or will be traded; 

 

	 	(q)	 make available for inspection by any Sponsor, any Syndicatee, any Management LP and any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to a
registration statement being filed by the Company pursuant to this Article 4 and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by 

  
 33 

	 	
any such Sponsor, Syndicatee, Management LP or underwriter (collectively, the Inspectors), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the
Company (collectively, the Records) as shall be reasonably necessary or desirable to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information
reasonably requested by any Inspectors in connection with such registration statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and that it notifies the Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the
Inspectors unless (i) the Company’s counsel has determined that the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in such registration statement or (ii) the release of such Records is ordered
pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP agrees that information obtained by it as a result of such inspections shall be deemed confidential and shall not be used by it
or its Affiliates as the basis for any market transactions in the Company’s Securities unless and until, in the Company’s sole discretion, such information is made generally available to the public. Each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management
LP further agrees that, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall give, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Inspectors to give, notice to the Company and allow the
Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential. 

  

	 	(r)	Except with respect to a Shelf Registration Statement (other than a Shelf Registration Statement for which the Company has received a request to conduct a shelf take-down and such take-down has not yet been completed),
promptly prior to the filing of any document which is to be incorporated by reference into the registration statement or the prospectus contained therein (after the initial filing of such registration statement) provide copies of such document to
counsel for the Sponsors, the Syndicatees and the Management LPs participating in the offering and to each managing underwriter, and make the Company’s representatives available for discussion of such document and make such changes in such
document concerning the Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs participating in the offering prior to the filing thereof as counsel for such Sponsors, Syndicatees, Management LPs or underwriters may reasonably request; 

 

	 	(s)	furnish to each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP participating in the offering and each managing underwriter(s), upon request and without charge, at least one signed copy of the registration statement and any
post-effective amendments thereto, excluding all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including, without limitation, those incorporated by reference); 

  
 34 

	 	(t)	cooperate with the Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs participating in the offering and the managing underwriter(s) to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates not bearing any restrictive
legends representing the Registrable Securities to be sold, and cause such Registrable Securities to be issued in such denominations and registered in such names in accordance with the underwriting agreement prior to any sale of Registrable
Securities to the underwriters or, if not an underwritten offering, in accordance with the instructions of such participating Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs at least two Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities and
instruct any transfer agent or registrar of Registrable Securities to release any stop transfer orders in respect thereof; 

  

	 	(u)	to the extent required by the rules and regulations of FINRA, retain a “qualified independent underwriter”, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the majority of the Sponsors participating in the offering;
and 

  

	 	(v)	take no direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act. 

  

	4.5.	Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Article 4 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Sponsor or selling
Syndicatee or selling Management LP that such Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP, as applicable, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such
Securities as is reasonably required to effect the registration of such Sponsor’s, Syndicatee’s or Management LP’s, as applicable, Registrable Securities. 

 

	4.6.	Expenses of Registration. The Company shall pay any and all Registration Expenses. (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Article 4,
regardless of whether the applicable registration statement is declared effective. All Selling Expenses relating to Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section shall be borne and paid by the Sponsors pro rata on the basis of the
number of Registrable Securities registered on their behalf. 

  

	4.7.	Well-Known Seasoned Issuer. 

  

	 	(a)	To the extent the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, a WKSI) at the time any demand is submitted to the Company by a Sponsor pursuant to
Section 4.1 or the Company is otherwise required to file a registration statement under Section 4.1, the Company shall file an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement which covers those Registrable Securities which are requested to be
registered. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remain a WKSI (and not become an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under
the Securities Act)) during the period during which such Automatic Shelf Registration Statement is required to remain effective. If the Company does not pay the filing fee covering the Registrable Securities at the time the Automatic Shelf
Registration Statement is filed, the Company agrees to pay such fee at such time or times as the Registrable Securities are to be sold. If the Automatic Shelf Registration Statement has been outstanding for at least three years, at the end of the
third year the Company shall refile a new 

  
 35 

	 	
automatic shelf registration statement covering the Registrable Securities. If on any “determination date” (as described in clause (2) of the definition of “Well-Known
Seasoned Issuer” in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) when the Company has an active Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities on file with the SEC the Company determines that it is not a WKSI, the Company shall refile the
Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities on Form F-3 or, if such form is not available and any Sponsor so requests, Form F-1, and keep such Shelf Registration Statement effective during the period during which such Shelf
Registration Statement is required to be kept effective. 

  

	4.8.	Indemnification. If any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under this Article 4: 

  

	 	(a)	To the extent permitted by Law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Sponsor, each Syndicatee and each Management LP holding Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, their respective
Affiliates and all partners, members, officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders of each such Sponsor, each such Syndicatee and each such Management LP and their respective Affiliates; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act)
of the Registrable Securities and each Person, if any, who controls such Sponsor, Syndicatee, Management LP or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an Investor Indemnified Person), against any
Damages arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus or
“issuer free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) or any other such disclosure document or related document or report authorized by the Company incident to any such registration; (ii) any omission (or
alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (with respect to a prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; or (iii) any
violation (or alleged violation) by the Company of applicable Law (including the Securities Act, any state securities Laws or any rule or regulation thereunder) applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in
connection with any offering covered by such registration; and the Company will pay to each such Investor Indemnified Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or
proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; PROVIDED THAT the Company shall not be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP expressly for inclusion in the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, issuer free writing
prospectus or offering circular. 

  
 36 

	 	(b)	To the extent permitted by Law, each Sponsor, each Syndicatee and each Management LP selling Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter of the Registrable Securities any other
Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP selling Securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP to the same extent as the indemnity from the Company set forth
in Section 4.8(a), but only with respect to written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP expressly for inclusion in the registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus,
summary prospectus or issuer free writing prospectus or any other such disclosure document or related document or report incident to any such registration; and each such selling Sponsor, each such Syndicatee and each such Management LP will pay to
the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; PROVIDED
THAT in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Sponsor, any Syndicatee or any Management LP by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 4.8(b) and 4.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Sponsor,
Syndicatee or Management LP (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP). 

  

	 	(c)	 Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 4.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental
action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 4.8, give the indemnifying party notice of the
commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume
the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such
indemnified party under such section for any fees and expenses of other counsel incurred subsequently by such indemnified party; PROVIDED THAT an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such action. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected
without its written consent (which shall not be 

  
 37 

	 	
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified
party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Without the prior written consent of the indemnified party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the indemnifying party shall not
consent to entry of judgment or enter into any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding, in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party or indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, that
(A) does not include an unconditional release of such indemnified party, reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability arising out of such proceeding and (B) includes any statement as to admission of fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any action shall only relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to
the indemnified party under this Section 4.8 to the extent that such failure actually and materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action, and the failure to give notice to the indemnifying party will not
relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.8. 

  

	 	(d)	 To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise
entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 4.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to
appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 4.8 provides for indemnification in such case; or (ii) contribution under the
Securities Act may be required on the part of any party for which indemnification is provided under this Section 4.8 then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate Damages to which they may be subject (after
contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such Damages, as
well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a
material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission; PROVIDED THAT, in any such case: (x) each Sponsor’s, each Syndicatee’s and each Management LP’s liability pursuant to this Section 4.8(d) shall be limited as set forth in
Section 4.8(b); and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to 

  
 38 

	 	
contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this paragraph
(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.8. The liability of any Sponsor under this
Section 4.8(d) shall be several and not joint. 

  

	 	(e)	The obligations of the parties under this Section 4.8 shall be in addition to any liability which any party may otherwise have to any other Person. 

 

	 	(f)	Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in
conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control. 

  

	 	(g)	The obligations of the Company, Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs under this Article 4 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Article 4, and otherwise
shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 

  

	4.9.	Information: Form F-3. With a view to making available to the Sponsors, the Syndicatees and the Management LPs the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit a
Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP to sell Securities of the Company without registration or pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3, the Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) make and keep adequate current
public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times that the Company is subject to the periodic reporting requirements under Sections 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; (ii) file with the SEC in a
timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and (iii) furnish to each Sponsor, each Syndicatee and each Management LP, forthwith upon reasonable request: (A) a written
statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times after it has become subject to such reporting requirements, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose Securities
may be resold pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3 at any time after it so qualifies; (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report (if any) of the Company, and such other statements, reports and other documents, in each
case, as filed by the Company with the SEC; and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing a Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP of any rule or regulation of the SEC which permits the selling of any such Securities
without registration or pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-3. From the date hereof until termination of the registration rights provisions of this Agreement: (1) the Company shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to
qualify for registration on Form F-3 for secondary sales; and (2) the Company shall not take any action to amend its governing documents, or enter into or amend any agreement, if such amendment or agreement would materially impair or otherwise
adversely affect the rights of the Sponsors, Syndicatees or Management LP under this Article 4. 

  
 39 

	4.10.	Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Sponsors holding a majority of the Registrable Securities
then outstanding, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any Securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder: (i) to include such Securities in any registration unless, under the express
terms of such agreement, such holder or prospective holder may include such Securities in any such registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such Securities will not reduce the number of the Registrable Securities of the Sponsors, the
Syndicatees or the Management LPs that are included; or (ii) to initiate a demand for registration of any Securities held by such holder or prospective holder. In the event that the Company engages in a merger or consolidation in which the
Shares are converted into the Securities of another company, appropriate arrangements will be made so that the registration rights provided under this Agreement continue to be provided to the Sponsors, the Syndicatees and the Management LPs by the
issuer of such Securities. 

  

	4.11.	“Market Stand-off” Agreement. If and to the extent reasonably requested by the managing underwriter(s) of an underwritten public offering of the Company’s equity Securities based on then-current
market practice: 

  

	 	(a)	 subject to customary exceptions similar to those contained in the lock-up agreements related to the IPO, each Sponsor, each Syndicatee and each
Management LP will not during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the registration by the Company of Shares or any other equity Securities under the Securities Act and ending on the date specified by the Company and
the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed 90 days (which period may be extended upon the written request of the managing underwriter(s), to the extent required by any FINRA rules, for an additional period of up to 18 days, if the Company
issues or proposes to issue an earnings or other public release within 15 days of the expiration of the 90-day lock-up period), (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or
contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or other equity Securities held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such
offering or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such Shares or other equity Securities; or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic
consequences of ownership of such Shares or other equity Securities, whether any such transaction described in paragraphs (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Shares or other Securities, in cash, or otherwise. The foregoing
provisions of this Section 4.11 shall not apply to the sale of any Shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall be applicable to the Sponsors, Syndicatees or Management LPs only if all officers and directors are
subject to the same restrictions and, to the extent requested by the managing underwriter(s) for such offering, the 

  
 40 

	 	
Company uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a similar agreement from all shareholders individually owning more than one percent of the Shares outstanding. Any discretionary waiver or
termination of the restrictions of any or all of such agreements by the Company or the underwriters shall apply pro rata to all Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs subject to such agreements, based on the number of Shares subject to such
agreements; and 

  

	 	(b)	if the Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs enter into any lock-up or similar agreements with underwriters in connection with any public offering of Registrable Securities, then the terms of such agreements, whilst
in effect, shall replace and supersede the terms of Section 4.11(a). 

  

	4.12.	Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Sponsor to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 and the right of any Syndicatee
or Management LP to request inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 4.2 shall terminate when: (a) a registration statement relating to the sale of such Registrable Securities has been declared effective
by the SEC and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by a Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP pursuant thereto; or (b) such Registrable Securities have been disposed of by a Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP pursuant to Rule
144. 

 ARTICLE 5. INFORMATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY 

 

	5.1.	Access to Information. 

  

	 	(a)	At any time during which the Company does not file reports with a securities regulatory authority that are publicly available that contain such information, the Company shall deliver to the Sponsors and the Syndicatees
(a) the most recent audited annual financial statements of the Company and (b) the most recent unaudited quarterly financial statements of the Company, in each case, as promptly as practicable after each applicable period end, but no later
than they otherwise become available. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries, at any and all reasonable times during normal business hours on reasonable notice and in such manner as is not reasonably likely to adversely affect the
operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, to permit each of the Sponsors and their respective advisors and agents to examine, at such Sponsor’s expense, all books of account, records, reports documents, data and
papers, and to make copies and take extracts and to discuss its business, affairs, finances and accounts with its senior employees, accountants and other advisors; provided that such rights shall not apply to a Sponsor that holds less than 5%
of the Shares. 

  

	 	(c)	 A Sponsor that holds more than 5% of the Shares may disclose Confidential Information in connection with any proposed Sale by such Party to a Third
Party provided that such Sale is permitted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and provided that such Third Party enters into a 

  
 41 

	 	
confidentiality agreement for the benefit of the Parties to hold any such information in strict confidence and to not use such information for any purpose other than such Sale and specifying that
the Parties shall be jointly and severally entitled to enforce such confidentiality agreement. 

  

	5.2.	Confidentiality and Announcements. 

  

	 	(a)	The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Agreement shall be publicly disclosed in their entirety. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Sponsor agrees to hold in strict confidence all Confidential Information. Subject to applicable Law, a Party may disclose any Confidential Information to (a) any of its Representatives and (b) the
Company, its Subsidiaries and their respective directors, management or advisers (collectively, Authorized Recipients) on a confidential basis. If a Sponsor or any of its Authorized Recipients is required by Law or
regulation or any legal or judicial process to disclose any Confidential Information, or disclosure of Confidential Information is requested by any Governmental Authority having authority over such Sponsor, such Sponsor shall promptly notify the
Company and the other Sponsors of such requirement so that the Company may at its own expense oppose such requirement or seek a protective order and request confidential treatment thereof. If such Sponsor or such Authorized Recipient is nonetheless
required, or such a request nonetheless remains outstanding, to disclose any such Confidential Information, such Sponsor or Authorized Recipient may disclose such portion of such Confidential Information without liability hereunder.

  

	 	(c)	No public announcement or press release concerning Confidential Information shall be made by any Sponsor (or any Affiliate thereof), without the prior consent of the Company and the other Sponsors, which may also be
given in general terms with respect to categories of announcements. This provision shall not prohibit any public announcement or press release required to be made by any applicable Laws or regulations, provided that such Sponsor (or such Affiliate)
that is making such announcement shall, to the extent practicable, consult with the Company and the other Sponsors concerning the timing and content of such announcement before such announcement is made and shall give a copy thereof to the other
Parties at the same time as, or as soon as reasonably practicable after, the making of such announcement. 

  

	 	(d)	Each Party agrees that nothing in this Section 5.2 shall authorise the use of any Confidential Information in contravention of applicable securities Laws. 

ARTICLE 6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS 
  

	6.1.	 Corporate Opportunities. Subject to applicable Law, the Sponsors and the Syndicatees (including their respective equity holders and their
respective Affiliates, but excluding any member of the Board who is also an officer of the Company) may engage in or possess any interest in other investments, business ventures or Persons of any nature or description, independently or with others,
similar or dissimilar to, or 

  
 42 

	 	
that competes with, the investments or business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, Outside Activities), and may provide advice and other assistance to any such
investment, business venture or Person engaged in Outside Activities, (b) the Company shall have no rights in and to such Outside Activities or the income or profits derived therefrom, and (c) the pursuit of any such Outside Activities,
even if competitive with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, shall not be deemed wrongful or improper. Subject to applicable Law, the Sponsors, the Syndicatees and their respective Affiliates (including their respective equity holders
and their respective Affiliates, but excluding any member of the Board who is also an officer of the Company) (i) shall not be obligated to present any particular investment or business opportunity to the Company even if such opportunity is of
a character that, if presented to the Company, could be pursued by the Company, and (ii) shall have the right to pursue for their own account (individually or as a partner or a fiduciary) or to recommend to any other Person any such investment
opportunity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article 6 shall be deemed or construed to permit any Director to use any confidential, proprietary or non-public information obtained in his or her capacity as a Director for the personal
benefit of such Director or of any entity with which such Director may be affiliated or to the detriment of the Company, to the extent such use would not have been permitted under applicable Law in the absence of this Article 6. 

 

	6.2.	Acquisitions of Shares. Each of the Parties other than the Company and the Management LPs (each a Shareholder Party) shall notify each of the other Shareholder Parties if such Shareholder Party
acquires or disposes of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) in any Shares if at the time of such acquisition or disposal the Shares are registered under the Exchange Act and
Shareholder Parties as a group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) in aggregate hold more than 5% of the then issued and outstanding Shares. 

 

	6.3.	Securities Law Compliance; Legends 

  

	 	(a)	Restrictive Legends. Each certificate representing the Shares subject to this Agreement shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following terms: 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED FOR RESALE UNDER THE UNITED
STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR ANY STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM UNDER SAID ACT OR LAWS.” 

 

	 	(b)	 Removal of Legends. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2, the restrictions imposed by paragraph (a) upon the
transferability of the Shares shall cease and terminate when (i) such Shares are Sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the intended method of disposition by the Selling Shareholder(s) thereof set forth in a registration statement
under the Securities Act or (ii) the holder of such Shares has met the 

  
 43 

	 	
requirement of Sale of such Shares pursuant to subparagraph (b)(1) of Rule 144. Whenever the restrictions imposed by the legend set forth in Section (a) shall terminate as to any Shares, as
herein provided, the holder of such Shares shall, upon furnishing the Company with an opinion of counsel, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the restrictions imposed by the legend set forth
in paragraph (a) have terminated as to such Shares, be entitled to receive from the Company, without expense, a new certificate not bearing the restrictive legend set forth in paragraph (a) and not containing any other reference to the
restrictions imposed by the legend set forth in paragraph (a). 

  

	 	(c)	Additional Legend. 

  

	 	(i)	Each certificate evidencing Shares and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Sale of any Shares to an Affiliate or to any Third Party purchaser of Shares to whom rights under this Agreement are assigned
pursuant to Section 9.6 of this Agreement shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT. THE TERMS OF SUCH SHAREHOLDERS’
AGREEMENT INCLUDES, AMONG OTHER THINGS, RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS.” 
  

	 	(ii)	The Company shall imprint such legends on certificates evidencing Shares of any Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP outstanding immediately following the Closing Date. The legend set forth above shall be removed from
the certificates evidencing any Shares of any Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP when such Shares are no longer subject to any restrictions under this Agreement. 

ARTICLE 7. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS 
  

	7.1.	Amendments. 

  

	 	(a)	Unless otherwise specified herein, any amendment or variation of this Agreement shall be valid and effective and binding upon all Parties hereto if it is in writing and it is approved by the Company and each of the
Sponsors that holds at least 1% of the Shares. Subject to Section 7.1(b), any amendment or variation which has been approved as provided in this Section 7.1 shall be binding upon each Party, whether or not that Party has agreed to it.

  

	 	(b)	Any amendment or variation to this Agreement which would be disproportionately and materially prejudicial to the rights of the Syndicatees that hold at least 1% of the Shares (or any of them) or the Management LPs (or
any of them) under this Agreement, as compared to the change to the rights of the Sponsors under this Agreement from how they exist immediately prior to such amendment or variation to as they would exist as a result thereof, shall also require the
prior approval of the GS Syndicatee, the OHA Syndicatee, the Railpen Syndicatee, the USS Syndicatee and/or the relevant Management LP, as the case may be. 

  
 44 

	7.2.	Waivers. Except as expressly set forth herein, the provisions of this Agreement may only be waived with the prior written consent of the Party against whom the waiver is to be effective. 

 

	7.3.	No Waiver of Rights. No course of dealing between the Company, the Sponsors, the Syndicatees (or any of them) or the Management LPs (or any of them) or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder will operate as
a waiver of any rights of any Party to this Agreement. The failure of any Party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement will in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and will not affect the right of such Party thereafter to
enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 

 ARTICLE 8. TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

  

	8.1.	The provisions of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company that has been approved, if
required, pursuant to Section 2.4, (b) the written approval of such termination by (i) the Company and (ii) each of the Sponsors, if in the case of this paragraph (ii) such Person is still a Sponsor and (c) the date on which none
of the Sponsors are shareholders in the Company. 

  

	8.2.	This Agreement shall cease to bind a Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP that no longer has, together with its Affiliates, a direct or indirect interest in any Shares in each case (A) without prejudice to rights
and obligations accrued prior to such cessation or termination and (B) subject to Article 5 and Section 9.9 remaining in force. 

ARTICLE 9. MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	9.1.	Aggregation of Holdings of Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:

thereof; and (ii) AHCL’s Aggregation Pro Rata Share of the Shares held by the GS Syndicatees; 

  

	 	(b)	for the purpose of calculating the percentage of Shares owned by AAIL pursuant to this Agreement, the Shares owned by AAIL shall be aggregated with: (i) all Shares held by the USS Syndicatee and any Affiliate

 45 

	 	
provided that any Shares purchased by a Syndicatee after the Closing Date shall not be taken into account for the purposes of this Section 9.1. 

 

	9.2.	Shares held by Syndicatees. Except for Article 4, and notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Sections 2.1 and 3.2) the terms of this Agreement shall not apply to
any Shares purchased by a Syndicatee after the Closing Date. 

  

	9.3.	Agency.

	9.4.	Severability. It is the desire and intent of the Parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction
in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction,
shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining
provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

  
 47 

	9.5.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein and to be executed and delivered in connection herewith embody the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede and preempt any and all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, arrangements or representations by or among the Parties, whether written or oral, which may relate to the
subject matter hereof or thereof in any way including, for the avoidance of doubt, the registration rights agreement dated as of May 21, 2010, as amended, among Avolon Investments S.à r.l. (Avolon Investments) and the
investors party thereto, and the investment and shareholders’ deed relating to Avolon Investments dated May 20, 2010, as amended and restated, among Avolon Investments and the shareholders party thereto. Other than this Agreement, and the
other agreements referred to herein and to be executed and delivered in connection herewith, there are no other agreements continuing in effect relating to the subject matter hereof. 

 

	9.6.	Successors and Assigns. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns, the Sponsors, the Syndicatees
and the Management LPs. Neither this Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation or liability arising hereunder or by reason hereof shall be assignable by any Party hereto, except that: 

 

	 	(a)	each Sponsor may assign rights hereunder to any Third Party purchaser of the Shares held by such Sponsor (other than a Third Party purchaser of Shares pursuant to a Public Sale) provided that such Sponsor has first
received the Requisite Consent from the Sponsors; 

  

	 	(b)	each Syndicatee may assign rights hereunder to a Third Party purchaser of Shares pursuant to Section 3.3 provided that such Syndicatee has first received the consent of each of the Sponsors in accordance with
Section 3.3; and 

  

	 	(c)	each Sponsor, Syndicatee and Management LP may assign rights hereunder to any Affiliate of such Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP (as applicable), including for the avoidance of doubt in the case of a Management LP
the individual or individual(s) on whose behalf the Management LP holds the Shares, in connection with any transfer of Shares held by such Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP (as applicable) to such Affiliate. 

Any such transferee shall (unless already bound hereby) execute and deliver to the Company a Joinder Agreement and shall thenceforth be a
Sponsor, Syndicatee or Management LP, as applicable. 
  

	9.7.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, and each such counterpart hereof shall be deemed to be an original instrument, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but
one agreement. Facsimile or other electronic counterpart signatures to this Agreement shall be acceptable and binding. 

  
 48 

	9.8.	Remedies.

conflicts of Law principles of such state. 

  

	 	(b)	Each Party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of (a) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the
purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such Party’s

(ii) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and hereby and thereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding
brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

  
 52 

	 	(c)	EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. Each Party (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other Party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other Party would not, in the event of litigation, seek

this Section 9.10. 

  

	9.11.	Further Assurances. Each Party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments,
and documents, not inconsistent herewith, as any other Party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. 

 

	9.12.	Representations and Warranties. Each Sponsor, each Syndicatee, each Management LP and each Management LP (each, a Holder) (as to himself or itself only) represents and
warrants to the Company and the other Holders that, as of the time such Holder becomes a Party to this Agreement: 

  

	 	(a)	this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Holder and this Agreement constitutes a legal and binding obligation of such Holder, enforceable against such Holder in accordance with its terms;
and 

  

	 	(b)	the execution, delivery and performance by such Holder of this Agreement and the consummation by such Holder of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time, or
both (i) violate any Law applicable to it, or (ii) conflict with, or result in a breach or default under, any term or condition of any agreement or other instrument to which such Holder is a party or by which such Holder is bound, except for
such violations, conflicts, breaches or defaults that would not, in the aggregate, materially affect such Holder’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder. 

 

	9.13.	Brokers. Each Holder (as to himself or itself only) represents and warrants to the Company and the other Holders that, as of the time such Holder becomes a Party to this Agreement, there is no investment banker,
broker, finder or other intermediary that has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of such Holder or its Affiliates that is entitled to any fee or commission from the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. 

 

	9.14.	No Partnership. No provision of this Agreement is intended to create a partnership between any of the Parties or makes a Party the agent of another Party for any purpose. Unless specifically provided otherwise,
no Party has authority or power to bind, to contract in the name of, or to create a liability for another Party in any way or for any purpose. 

  
 53 

	9.15.	No Third Party Reliance. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the covenants of the Company contained in this Agreement (a) are being given by the Company as an inducement to the
Sponsors, the Syndicatees and the Management LPs to enter into this Agreement (and the Company acknowledges that the Sponsors, the Syndicatees and the Management LPs have expressly relied thereon) and (b) are solely for the benefit of the
Sponsors, Syndicatees and Management LPs. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any person, other than the Parties
hereto and such assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder. 

  

	9.16.	Certain Waivers. Each Sponsor agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, and hereby waives any right to bring or participate in (either as claimant or counterclaimant) any claim,
suit, action, arbitration, complaint, charge, investigation or proceeding (each an Action) either on its own behalf or by or in the right of the Company, against any Majority Sponsor Director, for actions taken or omitted to be taken by such
Majority Sponsor Director in connection with (a) any Board Reserved Matters or Stockholder Reserved Matters and (b) any Outside Activities (including the income or profits derived from any Outside Activities), including without limitation
in each paragraph (a) and (b) any claims based upon breaches or alleged breaches of fiduciary duties under the Law of the Cayman Islands. The foregoing shall not limit the ability of any Sponsor to bring an Action to enforce its express
rights under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 9.16 shall limit any liability for fraud.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

This EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 28th day of February 2015, by and between MD Energy, Inc., a California corporation (the “Company”), and Danny Mitchell, an individual (“Employee”), and is made with respect to the following facts:

R E C I T A L S

A.           The Company and the Employee wish to ensure that the Company will receive the benefit of Employee’s loyalty and service during Employee’s tenure and that the Employee will be appropriately treated and compensated for services rendered.  .

B.           The parties have entered into this Agreement for the purpose of setting forth the terms of employment of the Employee by the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.           Employment of Employee and Duties.  The Company hereby hires Employee and Employee hereby accepts employment upon the terms and conditions described in this Agreement.  The Employee shall be the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company with the responsibility for managing the Company’s operations.  Subject to (a) the general supervision of the Board of Directors, and (b) the Employee’s duty to report to the Board of Directors periodically, as specified by them from time-to-time, Employee shall have all of the authority to perform his employment duties for the Company.

2.           Time and Effort.  Employee agrees to devote his full working time and attention to the management of the Company’s business affairs, the implementation of its strategic plan, as determined by the Board of Directors, and the fulfillment of his duties and responsibilities as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.  Expenditure of a reasonable amount of time for personal matters and business and charitable activities shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement, provided that those activities do not materially interfere with the services required to be rendered to the Company under this Agreement.

3.           The Company’s Authority.  Employee agrees to comply with the Company’s reasonable rules and regulations as adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors regarding performance of his duties, and to carry out and perform those orders, directions and policies established by the Company with respect to his engagement.  Employee shall promptly notify the Company’s Board of Directors of any objection he has to the Board’s directives and the reasons for such objection.

4.           Noncompetition by Employee.  Employee is subject to noncompetition obligations pursuant to Section 3.1 of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement of even date between the Company, Employee and others.  Upon the expiration of the term of those obligations, and if Employee is then employed by the Company, then thereafter and throughout the remaining term of this Agreement, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, either as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, stockholder (in a private company), corporate officer, director, or in any other individual or representative capacity, engage or participate in any business that is in direct competition with the business of the Company or its affiliates.  Furthermore, any commissions, referral fees or other compensation paid to Employee by other payors during the term of this Agreement will be the property of the Company, and therefore, all such compensation will promptly be remitted by Employee to the Company.

5.           Term of Agreement.  This Agreement shall commence to be effective as of the date of this Agreement (the “Commencement Date”), and shall be considered to be a contract for employment “at-will” as that term is defined under California law and consistent with section 2922 of the California Labor Code.  Either party may terminate this Agreement at-will.

6.           Confidential Information: Nondisclosure Covenant.

6.1           Confidential Information.  As used herein the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all customer and contract lists, records, financial data, trade secrets, business and marketing plans and studies, suppliers, investors, financing sources, manuals for employee and personnel policies, manufacturing and/or production manuals, computer programs and software, strategic plans, formulas, manufacturing and production processes and techniques (including without limitation types of machinery and equipment used together with improvements and modifications thereon), tools, applications for patents, designs, models, patterns, drawings, tracings, sketches, blueprints, and all other similar information developed and/or used by Company in the course of its business and which is not known by or readily available to the general public.

6.2           Nondisclosure Covenant.  Employee acknowledges that, in the course of performing services for and on behalf of Company, Employee has had and will continue to have access to Confidential Information.  Employee hereby covenants and agrees to maintain in strictest confidence all Confidential Information in trust for Company, its successors and assigns, and to disclose such information only on a “need-to-know” basis in furtherance and for the benefit of the Company’s business.  During the period of Employee’s employment with Company and at any and all times following Employee’s termination of employment for any reason, including without limitation Employee’s voluntary resignation or involuntary termination with or without cause, Employee agrees to not misappropriate, utilize for any purpose other than for the direct benefit of the Company, or disclose or make available to anyone outside Company’s organization, any Confidential Information or anything relating thereof without the prior written consent of Company, which consent may be withheld by Company for any reason or no reason at all.

6.3           Return of Property.  Upon Employee’s termination of his employment with Company for any reason, including without limitation Employee’s voluntary resignation or involuntary termination with or without cause, Employee hereby agrees to immediately return to Company’s possession all copies of any writings, computer discs or equipment, drawings or any other information relating to Confidential Information which are in Employee’s possession or control.  Employee further agrees that, upon the request of Company at any time during Employee’s period of employment with Company, Employee shall promptly return to Company all such copies of writings, computer discs or equipment, drawings or any other information relating to Confidential Information which are in Employee’s possession or control.

6.4           Rights to Inventions and Trade Secrets.  Employee hereby assigns to Company all right, title and interest in and to any ideas, inventions, original works or authorship, developments, improvements or trade secrets which Employee solely or jointly has conceived or reduced to practice, or will conceive or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or reduced to practice during his employment with Company.  All original works of authorship which are made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of Employee’s services hereunder and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act.

 

7.           Noninterference and Nonsolicitation Covenants.  In further reflection of the Company’s important interests in its proprietary information and its trade, customer, vendor and employee relationships, Employee agrees that, during the 24 month period following the termination of Employee’s employment with Company for any reason, including without limitation Employee’s voluntary resignation or involuntary termination with or without cause, Employee will not directly or indirectly, for or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, (a) interfere with any contractual or other business relationships that Company has with any of its customers, clients, service providers or materials suppliers as of the date of Employee’s termination of employment, or (b) solicit or induce any employee of Company to terminate his/her employment relationship with Company.

8.           Compensation.  During the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay the following compensation to Employee:

8.1           Annual Compensation.  Employee shall be paid a fixed salary of one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00) per year, which will be payable in two installments per month of $6,250.00 each on the 5th (for the last half of the previous month) and 20th (for the first half of the then current month) day of each month, commencing for the first period after the Commencement Date of this Agreement.

8.2           Additional Compensation.  In addition to the compensation set forth in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, Employee may be paid a bonus or bonuses during each year, in cash, in Company or parent company common stock, or in options to purchase Company or parent company common stock, or a combination of them or otherwise, as determined in the sole discretion of the Company’s or parent company’s Board of Directors based on such Board’s evaluation of the Employee’s definable efforts, accomplishments and similar contributions.

8.3           Benefits.  So long as Employee is employed by the Company, the Employee shall participate in employee benefit plans comparable to those provided by Solar United Network, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Sunworks”), for its employees serving in similar employment capacities, as determined from time to time by the board of directors of the Company or any compensation committee of the board of directors, if any, and on terms at least as favorable to Employee as are offered to such other employees.
