 2. General; Securities Subject to this Agreement. 
  
 (a) Grant of Rights. The Company hereby grants registration rights
to the Designated Holders upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Registrable Securities. For the purposes of this Agreement, Registrable Securities will cease to be Registrable Securities, (i) when a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities has
been declared effective under the Securities Act by the Commission and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (ii) when and for so long as the entire amount of the Registrable
Securities owned by a Designated Holder may be sold in a single sale, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and such Designated Holder, each in their reasonable judgment, without any limitation as to volume pursuant to Rule 144
(or any successor provision then in effect) under the Securities Act, (iii) when the Registrable Securities are proposed to be sold or distributed by a Person not entitled to the registration rights granted by this Agreement or (iv) upon
the tenth anniversary of the closing of the Initial Public Offering. 
  
 (c) Holders of Registrable Securities. A Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns of record Registrable Securities, or holds an option to purchase, or a security convertible into
or exercisable or exchangeable for, Registrable Securities whether or not such acquisition or conversion has actually been effected. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to
the same Registrable Securities, the Company may act upon the basis of the instructions, notice or election received from the registered owner of such Registrable Securities. Registrable Securities issuable upon exercise of an option
or upon conversion of another security shall be deemed outstanding for the purposes of this Agreement. 
  
 3. Demand Registration. 
  
 (a) Request for Demand Registration. At any time commencing twelve months after the IPO Effectiveness Date, the General Atlantic Shareholders (the
“Initiating Holders”), may make a written request to the Company to register, and the Company shall register, under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form F-4, S-4 or S-8 or any successor
thereto) (a “Demand Registration”), the number of Registrable Securities stated in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect (x) more than two such Demand Registrations for
the General Atlantic Shareholders and (y) a Demand Registration if the Initiating Holders propose to sell their Registrable Securities at an aggregate price (calculated based upon the Market Price of the Registrable Securities on the date of
filing of the Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities) to the public of less than US$5,000,000 and provided further, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Demand Registration if the Company has, within
the six (6) month period preceding such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 3 or Section 5, or in which the Designated Holders had an opportunity to participate pursuant to the
provisions of Section 4, other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of the Designated Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Designated Holders requested to be
included in such registration). For purposes of the preceding sentence, two or more Registration Statements filed in response to one demand shall be counted as one Demand Registration. If the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment,
determines that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration to become effective or to remain effective as long as
such registration would otherwise be required to remain effective because such action (x) would materially interfere with a material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other similar transaction involving the Company,
(y) would require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (z) would render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or
Exchange Act (each, a “Valid Business Reason”), the Company may (A) postpone filing a Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than
ninety (90) days, and (B) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, if the Valid Business Reason has not resulted from actions taken by the Company, the Company, upon the approval of a majority of
the Board of Directors may cause such Registration Statement to be withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement. The Company shall give written notice of its determination to
postpone or withdraw a Registration Statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the Company may not postpone or withdraw a filing under this Section 3(a) more than once in any twelve (12) month period. Each request for a Demand Registration by the Initiating Holders shall state the amount of the
Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof. 
  

 6 

 (b) Incidental or “Piggy-Back” Rights with Respect to a Demand Registration. Each of
the Designated Holders (other than Initiating Holders which have requested a registration under Section 3(a)) may offer its or his Registrable Securities under any Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 3(b). Within five
(5) days after the receipt of a request for a Demand Registration from an Initiating Holder, the Company shall (i) give written notice thereof to all of the Designated Holders (other than Initiating Holders which have requested a
registration under Section 3(a)) and (ii) subject to Section 3(e), include in such registration all of the Registrable Securities held by such Designated Holders from whom the Company has received a written request for inclusion
therein within ten (10) business days of the receipt by such Designated Holders of such written notice referred to in clause (i) above. Each such request by such Designated Holders shall specify the number of Registrable Securities
proposed to be registered. The failure of any Designated Holder to respond within such 10-day period referred to in clause (ii) above shall be deemed to be a waiver of such Designated Holder’s rights under this Section 3 with
respect to such Demand Registration. Any Designated Holder may waive its rights under this Section 3 prior to the expiration of such 10-day period by giving written notice to the Company, with a copy to the Initiating Holders. If a Designated
Holder sends the Company a written request for inclusion of part or all of such Designated Holder’s Registrable Securities in a registration, such Designated Holder shall not be entitled to withdraw or revoke such request without the prior
written consent of the Company in its sole discretion unless, as a result of facts or circumstances arising after the date on which such request was made relating to the Company or to market conditions, such Designated Holder reasonably determines
that participation in such registration would have a material adverse effect on such Designated Holder. 
  

 7 

 (c) Effective Demand Registration. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any
such Demand Registration to become and remain effective as soon as practicable but in no event later than ninety (90) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof. A registration shall not constitute a Demand
Registration until it has become effective and remains continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold and (ii) 90 days; provided,
however, that a registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if (x) after such Demand Registration has become effective, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is
interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the Initiating Holders and such interference is not thereafter eliminated or
(y) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure by the Initiating Holder. 
  
 (d) Expenses. Subject to the terms of Section 7(d), the Company
shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with a Demand Registration, whether or not such Demand Registration becomes effective. 
  
 (e) Underwriting Procedures. If the Company or the Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all of the
Initiating Holders so elect, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Demand Registration to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering
shall be the Approved Underwriter selected in accordance with Section 3(f). In connection with any Demand Registration under this Section 3 involving an underwritten offering, none of the Registrable Securities held by any Designated
Holder making a request for inclusion of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof shall be included in such underwritten offering unless such Designated Holder accepts the terms of the offering as agreed upon by the Company,
the Initiating Holders and the Approved Underwriter, and then only in such quantity as will not, in the opinion of the Approved Underwriter, jeopardize the success of such offering by the Initiating Holders. If the Approved Underwriter advises the
Company that the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering is sufficiently large to have a material adverse effect on the success of such offering, then the Company shall include in such registration
only the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold without any such material adverse effect and shall reduce the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, first
as to the Company, second as to the Designated Holders (who are not Initiating Holders and who requested to participate in such registration pursuant to Section 3(b) hereof) as a group, if any, and third as to the Initiating
Holders as a group, pro rata within each group based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such Designated Holder or Initiating Holder, as the case may be. 
  

 8 

 (f) Selection of Underwriters. If any Demand Registration or F-3 Registration, as the case may
be, of Registrable Securities is in the form of an underwritten offering, the Company shall select and obtain an investment banking firm of national reputation to act as the managing underwriter of the offering (the “Approved
Underwriter”); provided, however, that the Approved Underwriter shall, in any case, also be reasonably acceptable to the Initiating Holders or F-3 Initiating Holders, as the case may be. 
  
 4. Incidental or “Piggy-Back” Registration. 
  
 (a) Request for Incidental Registration. At any time after the IPO
Effectiveness Date, if the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account (other than a Registration Statement on Form F-4, S-4 or S-8 or any
successor thereto) or for the account of any shareholder of the Company other than the Designated Holders, then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to each of the Designated Holders at least twenty (20) days before the
anticipated filing date, and such notice shall describe the proposed registration and distribution and offer such Designated Holders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities as each such Designated Holder may request (an
“Incidental Registration”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of a proposed underwritten offering (the “Company Underwriter”) to permit
each of the Designated Holders who have requested in writing (within twenty (20) days of the notice provided for in the preceding sentence) to participate in the Incidental Registration to include its or his Registrable Securities in such
offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities of the Company or the account of such other shareholder, as the case may be, included therein. In connection with any Incidental Registration under this Section 4(a) involving an
underwritten offering, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless the Designated Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon between the Company, such
other shareholders, if any, and the Company Underwriter, and then only in such quantity as the Company Underwriter believes will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the Company Underwriter determines that the registration
of all or part of the Registrable Securities which the Designated Holders have requested to be included would materially adversely affect the success of such offering, then the Company shall be required to include in such Incidental Registration, to
the extent of the amount that the Company Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect, first, all of the securities to be offered for the account of the Company or for the account of shareholder(s) of the Company
other than the Designated Holder(s) for whom such Registration Statement is being filed; second, the Registrable Securities to be offered for the account of the Designated Holders pursuant to this Section 4, pro rata based on the number
of Registrable Securities owned by each such Designated Holder; and third, any other securities requested to be included in such offering. 
  

 9 

 (b) Expenses. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with any Incidental
Registration pursuant to this Section 4, whether or not such Incidental Registration becomes effective. 
  
 5. Form F-3 Registration. 
  
 (a) Request for a Form F-3 Registration. Upon the Company becoming eligible for use of Form F-3 or S-3 (or any successor form thereto) under the
Securities Act in connection with a public offering of its securities, in the event that the Company shall receive from one or more of the General Atlantic Shareholders as a group, acting through GAP LLC or its written designee (the “F-3
Initiating Holders”), a written request that the Company register, under the Securities Act on Form F-3 or S-3 (or any successor form then in effect) (an ”F-3 Registration”), all or a portion of the Registrable
Securities owned by such F-3 Initiating Holders, the Company shall give written notice of such request to all of the Designated Holders (other than F-3 Initiating Holders which have requested an F-3 Registration under this Section 5(a)) at
least ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date of such Form F-3 or S-3, and such notice shall describe the proposed registration and offer such Designated Holders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities as each
such Designated Holder may request in writing to the Company, given within ten (10) days after their receipt from the Company of the written notice of such registration. If requested by the F-3 Initiating Holders such F-3 Registration shall be
for an offering on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. With respect to each F-3 Registration, the Company shall, subject to Section 5(b), (i) include in such offering the Registrable Securities of the F-3
Initiating Holders and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to (x) cause such registration pursuant to this Section 5(a) to become and remain effective as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than sixty (60) days after
it receives a request therefor; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to keep any such registration effective for more than ninety (90) days, and (y) include in such offering the Registrable Securities of the Designated
Holders (other than F-3 Initiating Holders which have requested an F-3 Registration under this Section 5(a)) who have requested in writing to participate in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the Registrable Securities of the
F-3 Initiating Holders included therein. 
  
 (b) Form F-3
Underwriting Procedures. If the F-3 Initiating Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all of the F-3 Initiating Holders so elect, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such F-3 Registration pursuant
to this Section 5 to be in the form of a firm commitment underwritten offering and the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such offering shall be the Approved Underwriter selected in accordance with Section 3(f).
In connection with any F-3 Registration under Section 5(a) involving an underwritten offering, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless the Designated Holders thereof
accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon between the Company, the Approved Underwriter and the F-3 Initiating Holders, and then only in such quantity as such underwriter believes will not jeopardize the success of such offering
by the F-3 Initiating Holders. If the Approved Underwriter believes that the registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities which the F-3 Initiating Holders and the other Designated Holders have requested to be included would materially
adversely affect the success of such public offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the underwritten offering, to the extent of the amount that the Approved Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect,
first, all of the Registrable Securities to be offered for the account of the F-3 Initiating Holders, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by such F-3 Initiating Holders; second, the Registrable Securities
to be offered for the account of the other Designated Holders who requested inclusion of their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5(a), pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities owned by such Designated Holders; and
third, any other securities requested to be included in such offering. 
  

 10 

 (c) Limitations on Form F-3 Registrations. If the Board of Directors has a Valid Business Reason,
the Company may (x) postpone filing a Registration Statement relating to a F-3 Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than ninety (90) days, and (y) in case a Registration Statement
has been filed relating to a F-3 Registration, if the Valid Business Reason has not resulted from actions taken by the Company, the Company, upon the approval of a majority of the Board of Directors may cause such Registration Statement to be
withdrawn and its effectiveness terminated or may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement. The Company shall give written notice of its determination to postpone or withdraw a Registration Statement and of the fact that the
Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone or withdraw a filing due to a
Valid Business Reason more than once in any twelve (12) month period. In addition, the Company shall not be required to effect any registration pursuant to Section 5(a), (i) within ninety (90) days after the effective date of any
other Registration Statement of the Company, (ii) if within the twelve (12) month period preceding the date of such request, the Company has effected two (2) registrations on Form F-3 or S-3 pursuant to Section 5(a),
(iii) if Form F-3 or S-3 is not available for such offering by the F-3 Initiating Holders, (iv) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of
process effecting such registration, qualification or compliance or (v) if the F-3 Initiating Holders, together with the Designated Holders (other than F-3 Initiating Holders which have requested an F-3 Registration under Section 5(a))
registering Registrable Securities in such registration, propose to sell their Registrable Securities at an aggregate price (calculated based upon the Market Price of the Registrable Securities on the date of filing of the Form F-3 or S-3 with
respect to such Registrable Securities) to the public of less than US$5,000,000.

 7. Registration Procedures. 
  

(a) Obligations of the Company. Whenever registration of Registrable Securities has been requested pursuant to Section 3,
Section 4 or Section 5 of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof as quickly
as practicable, and in connection with any such request, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible: 
  
 (i) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall
deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become
effective; provided, however, that (x) before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall provide counsel selected by the Designated Holders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities being registered in such registration (“Holders’ Counsel”) and any other Inspector with an adequate and appropriate opportunity to review and comment on such Registration Statement and each
prospectus included therein (and each amendment or supplement thereto) to be filed with the Commission, subject to such documents being under the Company’s control, and (y) the Company shall notify the Holders’ Counsel and each seller
of Registrable Securities of any stop order issued or threatened by the Commission and take all action as are prudent and reasonably required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered; 
  

 12 

 (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement
and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the lesser of (x) 90 days and (y) such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered
by such Registration Statement have been sold; and shall comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended
methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement; 
  
 (iii) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities, prior to filing a Registration Statement, at least one copy of such Registration Statement as is proposed to be filed, and thereafter such number of copies of
such Registration Statement, each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits thereto), and the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and any prospectus filed under Rule
424 under the Securities Act as each such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; 
  
 (iv) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or
“blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as any seller of Registrable Securities may request, and to continue such qualification in effect in such jurisdiction for as long as permissible pursuant to the laws of such jurisdiction, or for
as long as any such seller requests or until all of such Registrable Securities are sold, whichever is shortest, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable any such seller to consummate the
disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to (x) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not
otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 7(a)(iv), (y) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or (z) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
  
 (v) notify each seller of Registrable Securities 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 contains 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and the Company shall promptly prepare a
supplement or amendment to such prospectus and furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities a reasonable number of copies of such supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, after delivery to the purchasers of
such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; 
  

 13 

 (vi) enter into and perform customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form
with the Approved Underwriter or Company Underwriter, if any, selected as provided in Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5, as the case may be) and take such other actions as are prudent and reasonably required in order to expedite or
facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including causing its officers to participate in “road shows” and other information meetings organized by the Approved Underwriter or Company Underwriter; 
  
 (vii) make available at reasonable times for inspection by any seller of
Registrable Securities, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, Holders’ Counsel and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or
any managing underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively,
the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public
accountants of the Company, to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Records that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the
Inspectors are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to the Company if the Company shall so request) unless (x) the disclosure of such Records is necessary,
in the Company’s judgment, to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (y) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction after
exhaustion of all appeals therefrom or (z) the information in such Records was known to the Inspectors on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company or has been made generally available to the public. Each seller of
Registrable Securities agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate
action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential; 
  
 (viii) if such sale is pursuant to an underwritten offering, obtain a “cold comfort” letters dated the effective date of the Registration Statement and the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement from the
Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as Holders’ Counsel or the managing underwriter reasonably requests; 
  
 (ix) furnish, at the request of any seller of Registrable Securities on the
date such securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date the Registration Statement with respect to such securities becomes effective,
an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the seller making such request, covering such legal matters with respect to the registration in
respect of which such opinion is being given as the underwriters, if any, and such seller may reasonably request and are customarily included in such opinions; 
  

 14 

 (x) comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make available to its
security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than fifteen (15) months after the effective date of the Registration Statement, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months beginning after the effective
date of the Registration Statement, in a manner which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; 
  
 (xi) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued
by the Company are then listed, provided that the applicable listing requirements are satisfied; 
  
 (xii) keep Holders’ Counsel advised in writing as to the initiation and progress of any registration under Section 3, Section 4 or
Section 5 hereunder; 
  
 (xiii) cooperate with each seller
of Registrable Securities and each underwriter participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the NASD; and 
  
 (xiv) take all other steps reasonably necessary to effect the registration
of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby. 
  
 (b)
Seller Information. The Company may require each seller of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected to furnish, and such seller shall furnish, to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such
securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing. 
  
 (c) Notice to Discontinue. Each Designated Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 7(a)(v), such Designated
Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until such Designated Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended
prospectus contemplated by Section 7(a)(v) and, if so directed by the Company, such Designated Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Designated
Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If the Company shall give any such notice, the Company shall extend the period during which such Registration
Statement shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the period referred to in Section 7(a)(ii)) by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice
pursuant to Section 7(a)(v) to and including the date when sellers of such Registrable Securities under such Registration Statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by and meeting the
requirements of Section 7(a)(v). 
  

 15 

 (d) Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses arising from or incident
to its performance of, or compliance with, this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) Commission, stock exchange and NASD registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in complying with securities or
“blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter incurred in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Securities as may be set forth in any underwriting
agreement), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, and (iv) the fees, charges and expenses of counsel to the Company and of its independent public accountants and any other accounting fees, charges and expenses
incurred by the Company (including, without limitation, any expenses arising from any “cold comfort” letters or any special audits incident to or required by any registration or qualification) and the reasonable legal fees, charges and
expenses incurred by one counsel selected by the Initiating Holders or the F-3 Initiating Holders, as the case may be, in the case of a Demand Registration or an F-3 Registration, for the Initiating Holders or the F-3 Initiating Holders, as the case
may be; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of a Demand Registration commenced pursuant to Section 3(a) if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the
General Atlantic Shareholders (in which case all Designated Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless (A) the General Atlantic
Shareholders agree to forfeit their right to one Demand Registration pursuant to Section 3(a) or (B) the General Atlantic Shareholders are requesting such withdrawal as a result of either (1) an adverse change in market conditions or
(2) the General Atlantic Shareholders obtaining information about the Company that was not known to the General Atlantic Shareholders at the time that the General Atlantic Shareholders requested a Demand Registration pursuant to
Section 3(a). All of the expenses described in the preceding sentence of this Section 7(d) are referred to herein as “Registration Expenses.” The Designated Holders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to a Registration
Statement shall bear the expense of any broker’s commission or underwriter’s discount or commission relating to registration and sale of such Designated Holders’ Registrable Securities and, subject to clause (iv) above, shall
bear the fees and expenses of their own counsel. 
  
 8.
Indemnification; Contribution. 
  
 (a) Indemnification
by the Company. To the extent permitted by law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Designated Holder, its partners, directors, officers, affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of
the Securities Act) such Designated Holder from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) (each, a “Liability” and collectively,
“Liabilities”), arising out of or based upon any untrue, or allegedly untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or notification or offering circular (as
amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto) or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading under the circumstances such statements were made, except insofar as such Liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission contained in
such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus in reliance and in conformity with information concerning such Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder expressly for use therein,
including, without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to Section 8(b). 
  

 16 

 (b) Indemnification by Designated Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which
a Designated Holder is participating pursuant to Section 3, Section 4 or Section 5 hereof, each such Designated Holder shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Designated Holder as the
Company may reasonably request or as may be required by law for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by
such Designated Holder not materially misleading or necessary to cause such Registration Statement not to omit a material fact with respect to such Designated Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. To the extent
permitted by law, each Designated Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, any underwriter retained by the Company and each Person who controls the Company or such underwriter (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act) to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Designated Holders, but only if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information with respect
to such Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder expressly for use in such Registration Statement or prospectus, including, without limitation, the information furnished to the Company pursuant to this
Section 8(b); provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such Designated Holder pursuant to this Section 8(b) shall be limited, except in the case of fraud by such Designated Holder, to the net proceeds
(after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Designated Holder in the offering to which the Registration Statement or prospectus relates. 
  
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the
“Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action,
suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeits substantive rights or
defenses by reason of such failure). If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any
other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails
to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (iii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and
such parties have been advised by such counsel that either (x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there
may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party. In any of such cases, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of
such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all
Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such Indemnified
Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of
such Indemnified Party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding. 
  

 17 

 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 from the
Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8(a), 8(b) and
8(c), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding; provided that the total amount to be contributed by such Designated Holder shall be limited to the net
proceeds (after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Designated Holder in the offering. 
  

 18 

 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this
Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
  
 9. Rule 144. The Company covenants that from and after the IPO
Effectiveness Date it shall (a) file any reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act and (b) take such further action as each Designated Holder may reasonably request (including providing any information necessary to comply
with Rule 144 under the Securities Act), all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Designated Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided
by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended from time to time, or Regulation S under the Securities Act or (ii) any similar rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the Commission. The Company
shall, upon the request of any Designated Holder, deliver to such Designated Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. 
  
 10. Non-U.S. Listings. In the event that the Ordinary Shares are listed on any securities exchange outside the United States, the Company shall
(i) use all reasonable and diligent efforts to cause all Ordinary Shares issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and all other Ordinary Shares held by the Designated Holders, to be approved for listing and freely tradeable
on such stock exchange, subject to any lock-ups required pursuant to the rules and regulations of the relevant exchange or applicable securities law and (ii) furnish to the Designated Holders such number of copies of prospectuses and such other
documents as they may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of Ordinary Shares by the Designated Holders on such exchange. 
  
 11. Miscellaneous. 
  
 (a) Recapitalizations, Exchanges, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to
(i) the Ordinary Shares, (ii) any and all shares of voting ordinary shares of the Company into which the Ordinary Shares are converted, exchanged or substituted in any recapitalization or other capital reorganization by the Company and
(iii) any and all equity securities of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in conversion of, in exchange for or in substitution
of, the Ordinary Shares and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof. The Company shall cause any successor or assign (whether by
merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to enter into a new registration rights agreement with the Designated Holders on terms substantially the same as this Agreement as a condition of any such transaction. 
  

 19 

 (b) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company represents and warrants that it has not granted to
any Person the right to request or require the Company to register any securities issued by the Company, other than the rights granted to the Designated Holders herein. The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities
that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Designated Holders in this Agreement or grant any additional registration rights to any Person or with respect to any securities which are not Registrable Securities which are prior in right to or
inconsistent with the rights granted in this Agreement, except that the Company may grant the registration rights held by the General Atlantic Shareholders to any Subsequent General Atlantic Purchaser. 
  
 (c) Remedies. The Designated Holders, in addition to being entitled
to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of their rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred
by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 
  
 (d) Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless consented to in writing by (i) the Company and (ii) the General Atlantic Shareholders. Any such written consent
shall be binding upon the Company and all of the Designated Holders. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 11(d), the Company, without the consent of any other party hereto (other than the General Atlantic Shareholders), may amend
this Agreement to add any Subsequent General Atlantic Purchaser as a party to this Agreement as a General Atlantic Shareholder. 
  
 (e) Notices. All notices, demands and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing and shall be made by

Registrable Security, but only if transferred in compliance with the Shareholders Agreement. All of the obligations of the Company hereunder shall survive any such transfer. Except as provided in Section 8, no Person other than the parties

jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the County of New York, in the State of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the affairs of the Company. To the fullest extent they may
effectively do so under applicable law, the parties hereto irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that they are not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that they may
now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 

 
 (j) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY

Committee shall be constituted to comply with the Applicable Laws. 
  

	 	(b)	Powers of the Administrative Committee 

  
 Subject to the provisions of the Plan and, in the case of an Administrative Committee, the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Administrative
Committee, and subject to the approval of any relevant authorities, the Administrative Committee shall have, in addition to its other authority provided herein, the authority at its sole discretion:

 Page 5

	 	(x)	to allow Optionees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Ordinary Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Option or Share Purchase
Right that number of Ordinary Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Ordinary Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be
determined or the tax liability arises or the tax is due to be paid, or any other date as the Administrative Committee may deem appropriate. All elections by Optionees to have Ordinary Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and
under such conditions as the Administrative Committee may deem necessary or advisable;

with the Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with his or her right or the Company’s right to terminate such relationship at any time, with or without cause.

Committee. The Administrative Committee may at its sole discretion authorize or accept payment in one or more of the following manners: 

  

	 	(i)	cash, 

  

	 	(ii)	check payable to the order of the Company,

 Page 7 

 In making its determination as to the above, the Administrative Committee shall consider the best
interest of and advantage to the Company. 
  

	9.	Exercise of Option 

  

	 	(a)	Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareholder 

  
 Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms hereof at such times and under such conditions as determined by the
Administrative Committee and set forth in the Option Agreement. Except in the case of Options granted to the Company’s Directors, senior executive officers and Consultants, Options shall become exercisable at a rate of no more than twenty
percent (20%) per year over five (5) years from the date the Options are granted. Unless the Administrative Committee provides otherwise, vesting of Options granted hereunder to Directors shall be tolled during any unpaid leave of absence.
An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of an Ordinary Share. 
  
 An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives: 
  

	 	(i)	written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Option Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option, and 

  

	 	(ii)	full payment for the Ordinary Shares with respect to which the Option is exercised. 

  
 Full payment may consist of any consideration and method of payment authorized by the Administrative Committee and permitted
by the Option Agreement and the Plan. After the Option is exercised, the Company shall promptly issue (or cause to be issued) such number of Ordinary Shares as covered by such Option. Ordinary Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued
in the name of the Optionee or, if requested by the Optionee, in the joint name of the Optionee and his or her spouse. Until the Ordinary Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized
transfer agent of the Company), no right to attend general meeting of the Company, vote or receive dividends or other distributions or any other rights as a shareholder shall exist with respect to the Ordinary Shares, notwithstanding the exercise of
the Option. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Ordinary Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 12 below. 
  
 Exercise of an Option in any manner shall result in a decrease in the number
of Ordinary Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Ordinary Shares as to which the Option is exercised. 
  

 Page 8 

	 	(b)	Termination of Relationship as Service Provider 

  
 If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider (save and except due to the Optionee’s Disability, in which event subsection 9(c) below shall apply or
due to the Optionee’s death, in which event subsection 9(d) below shall apply), such Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (of at least thirty (30) days but in no event
later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of such cessation. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain
exercisable for three (3) months following the Optionee’s cessation as aforesaid (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of the Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, on the date of cessation, the Optionee is not
vested as to his or her entire Option, the Ordinary Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after the cessation, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option to the fullest extent vested within the time
specified in the Option Agreement or stipulated herein as the case may be, the Option shall lapse automatically, and the Ordinary Shares covered by such unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan and the Optionee shall have no claim
for compensation or otherwise against the Company whatsoever. 
  

	 	(c)	Disability of Optionee 

  
 If an Optionee ceases to be a Service Provider as a result of the Optionee’s Disability, the Optionee may exercise his or her Option within such
period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (of at least six (6) months but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) to the extent the Option is vested on the date of such
cessation. In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve (12) months following the Optionee’s cessation as aforesaid (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of
such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, on the date of cessation, the Optionee is not vested as to his or her entire Option, the Ordinary Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan. If, after the
cessation, the Optionee does not exercise his or her Option to the fullest extent vested within the time specified in the Option Agreement or stipulated herein as the case may be, the Option shall lapse automatically, and the Ordinary Shares covered
by such unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan and the Optionee shall have no claim for compensation or otherwise against the Company whatsoever. 
  

 Page 9 

	 	(d)	Death of Optionee 

  
 If an Optionee dies while being a Service Provider, the Option may be exercised within such period of time as is specified in the Option Agreement (of at
least six (6) months but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement) to the extent that the Option is vested on the date of death by the Optionee’s estate or by a person who
acquires the right to exercise the Option by bequest or inheritance (collectively, the “Optionee’s Representative”). In the absence of a specified time in the Option Agreement, the Option shall remain exercisable for twelve
(12) months following the Optionee’s death (but in no event later than the expiration of the term of such Option as set forth in the Option Agreement). If, at the time of death, the Optionee is not vested as to the entire Option, the
Ordinary Shares covered by the unvested portion of the Option shall immediately revert to the Plan. If the Option is not exercised by the Optionee’s Representative to the fullest extent vested within the time specified in the Option Agreement
or stipulated herein as the case may be, the Option shall lapse automatically, and the Ordinary Shares covered by such unexercised portion of the Option shall revert to the Plan and the Optionee’s estate and the Optionee’s Representative
shall have no claim for compensation or otherwise against the Company whatsoever. 
  

	 	(e)	Buyout Provisions 

  
 The Administrative Committee may at any time offer to buy out an Option previously granted for a payment in cash or Ordinary Shares, based on such fair
and reasonable terms and conditions as the Administrative Committee shall establish and communicate to the Optionee at the time that such offer is made or as set forth in the Option Agreement. 
  

	10.	Share Purchase Rights 

  

	 	(a)	Rights to Purchase 

  
 Share Purchase Rights may be issued in favor of the Optionees either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other awards granted under the Plan and/or
cash awards made by the Company outside of the Plan. After the Administrative Committee determines that it will offer Share Purchase Rights under the Plan, it shall advise the offeree in writing or electronically of the terms, conditions and
restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Ordinary Shares that such person shall be entitled to purchase, the price to be paid, the forfeiture restrictions, the time limit for the exercise of the Share Purchase Rights and the time
within which such person must accept such offer. 
  

 Page 10 

	 	(b)	Repurchase Option 

  
 Unless the Administrative Committee determines otherwise, the Restricted Share Purchase Agreement shall grant the Company a repurchase option exercisable
upon the voluntary or involuntary termination of the Optionee as a Service Provider for any reason (including death or Disability). The purchase price for Ordinary Shares repurchased pursuant to the Restricted Share Purchase Agreement shall be the
original price paid by the Optionee and may be paid by cancellation of any indebtedness of the Optionee to the Company. The repurchase option shall lapse at such rate as the Administrative Committee may determine at its sole discretion. Except with
respect to Ordinary Shares purchased by the Directors and senior executive officers of the Company and Consultants, the repurchase option shall in no case lapse at a rate of less than 20% per year over five (5) years from the date of
purchase. 
  

	 	(c)	Other Provisions 

  
 The Restricted Share Purchase Agreement shall contain such other terms, provisions and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by
the Administrative Committee at its sole discretion. 
  

	 	(d)	Rights as a Shareholder 

  
 Once the Share Purchase Right is exercised, the purchaser shall have rights equivalent to those of a shareholder and shall be a shareholder when his or
her purchase and personal particulars are entered upon the records of the Company or of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company. No adjustment shall be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the
Share Purchase Right is exercised, except as provided in Section 12 below. 
  

	11.	Non-Transferability of Options and Share Purchase Rights 

  
 The Option and Share Purchase Rights may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by will or by
the laws of succession and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Optionee, only by the Optionee except as provided in subsection 9(d) above. 
  

 Page 11 

	12.	Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization, Merger or Asset Sale 

  

	 	(a)	(i) Changes in Capitalization 

  
 Subject to any action of the shareholders of the Company as necessitated by the Applicable Laws, the number of Ordinary Shares covered by each outstanding
Option or Share Purchase Right, and the number of Ordinary Shares which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Options or Share Purchase Rights have yet been granted or which have been reverted to the Plan upon
cancellation or expiration of an Option or Share Purchase Right, as well as the price per Ordinary Share covered by each such outstanding Option or Share Purchase Right, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number of
issued Ordinary Shares effected without receipt of consideration by the Company. The conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration”. Such adjustment
shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of Share of any class, or securities convertible into shares of Share
of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Ordinary Shares subject to an Option or Share Purchase Right. 
  
 (ii) Adjustments for Share Split, Share Dividend, Etc. 
  
 If the Company shall at any time increase or decrease the number of its outstanding Ordinary Shares, or change in any way
the rights and privileges of its outstanding Ordinary Shares, by means of the payment of a Share dividend or any other distribution upon such Ordinary Shares, or through a Share split, subdivision, consolidation, combination, reclassification or
recapitalization involving such Ordinary Shares, then in relation to the Ordinary Shares that are covered by the Options or Share Purchase Rights granted or available under the Plan and are affected by one or more of the above events, the numbers,
rights and privileges of the following shall be increased, decreased or changed in like manner as if such Ordinary Shares had been issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable at the time of such occurrence. 
  

	 	(b)	Dissolution or Liquidation 

  
 In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrative Committee shall notify each Optionee as soon as practicable
prior to the effective date of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. The Administrative Committee may at its sole discretion provide for an Optionee to have the right to exercise his or her Option or Share Purchase Right at any time until
fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of such proposed dissolution or liquidation. In addition, the Administrative Committee may at its sole discretion provide that any repurchase option of the Company applicable to any Restricted Share
and/or any right of the Company to buy out outstanding Options under subsection 9(e) shall lapse upon dissolution or liquidation of the Company, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated.

  

 Page 12 

	 	(c)	Merger or Asset Sale 

  
 In the event of a merger of the Company with or into another corporation, or the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, each outstanding
Option and Share Purchase Right shall be assumed or an equivalent option or right substituted by the successor corporation or its holding company (meaning any entity which holds directly or indirectly at least fifty point one percent of the voting
equity of the successor corporation) or subsidiary (meaning any entity in which the successor corporation holds directly or indirectly fifty point one percent or more of the voting equity). In the event that the successor corporation or its holding
company or subsidiary refuses to assume or substitute for the Option or Share Purchase Right, the Optionee shall fully vest in and have the right to exercise the Option or Share Purchase Right as to all of the Optioned Share, including such part of
the Optioned Share as to which it would not otherwise be vested or exercisable and the repurchase option of the Company applicable to any Restricted Share and/or any right of the Company to buy out outstanding Options under subsection 9(e) shall
lapse upon consummation of such merger or sale of assets. If an Option or Share Purchase Right becomes fully vested and exercisable in lieu of assumption or substitution in the event of a merger or sale of assets, the Administrative Committee shall
accordingly notify the Optionee in writing or electronically in which event the Option or Share Purchase Right shall be fully exercisable for a period of fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice, and the Option or Share Purchase Right
shall terminate upon the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period. For the purposes of this paragraph, the Option or Share Purchase Right shall be considered assumed if, following the merger or sale of assets, the outstanding Option or Share
Purchase Right confers the right to purchase or receive proportionately the consideration (whether Share, cash, or other securities or property) received by holders of Ordinary Shares in the merger or sale of assets; provided, however, that if such
consideration received in the merger or sale of assets is not solely common Share of the successor corporation or its holding company or subsidiary, the Administrative Committee may, with the consent of the successor corporation, provide for the
consideration to be received upon the exercise of the Option or Share Purchase Right to be solely common Share of the successor corporation or its holding company or subsidiary equal in fair market value to the per share consideration received by
holders of Ordinary Shares in the merger or sale of assets, such fair market value to be conclusively determined by the Administrative Committee. 
  

 Page 13 

	 	(d)	General Adjustment Rules 

  
 If any adjustment or substitution provided for in this Section 12 shall result in the creation of a fractional Ordinary Share under any Option, the
Company shall, in lieu of issuing such fractional Ordinary Share, pay to the Optionee a cash sum in the amount equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share on the date the fractional Ordinary Share
otherwise would have been issued. 
  

	 	(e)	Determination by Administrative Committee 

  
 Adjustments under this Section 12 shall be made by the Administrative Committee whose determinations with regard thereto shall be final, conclusive
and binding upon all parties. 
  

	13.	Time of Granting Options and Share Purchase Rights 

  
 The date of grant of an Option or Share Purchase Right shall, for all purposes, be the date on which the Administrative Committee makes the determination
granting such Option or Share Purchase Right, or such other date as determined by the Administrative Committee. Notice of the determination shall be given to each Service Provider to whom an Option or Share Purchase Right is so granted within a
reasonable time after the date of such grant. 
  

	14.	Amendment and Termination of the Plan 

  

	 	(a)	Amendment and Termination 

  
 Subject to Subsection 14(b) below, the Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan. 
  

	 	(b)	Shareholder Approval 

  
 The Board shall obtain shareholder approval of any amendment to the Plan to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws. 

 

 Page 14 

	 	(c)	Effect of Amendment or Termination 

  
 No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Optionee, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the
Optionee and the Administrative Committee. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrative Committee’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Options granted under the Plan prior to the date of such
termination. 
  

	15.	Conditions Upon Issuance of Shares 

  

	 	(a)	Legal Compliance 

  
 Ordinary Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Share Purchase Right unless the exercise of such Option or Share Purchase
Right and the issuance and delivery of such Ordinary Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of legal counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. 
  

	 	(b)	Cash Payment 

  
 The payment of cash pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to all Applicable Laws. 
  

	 	(c)	Investment Representations 

  
 The Company may require any person to whom an Option or a Share Purchase Right is granted, as a condition of exercising such Option or Share Purchase
Right or receiving Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan, to give written assurances, in the substance and form satisfactory to the Company and its legal counsel, to the effect that such person is acquiring the Ordinary Shares subject to the Option
or Share Purchase Right for his own account for investment and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with applicable
securities laws. 
  

	 	(d)	The Administrative Committee may provide that Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of an Option or Share Purchase Right shall, under certain conditions, be subject to
restrictions whereby the Company has a right of first refusal with respect to such Ordinary Shares, which restrictions may survive an Optionee’s term of employment, engagement, appointment or service with the Company. 

 

 Page 15 

	16.	Inability to Obtain Regulatory Approval 

  
 The inability of the Company to obtain approval from any regulatory body having jurisdiction over the Company with respect to issuance of Ordinary Shares
pursuant to this Plan shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue such Ordinary Shares as to which such requisite approval shall not have been obtained. 
  

	17.	Shareholder Approval 

  
 The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company within twelve (12) months after the date the Plan is adopted by the Board.
Such shareholder approval shall be obtained in the degree and manner required under Applicable Laws. 
  

	18.	Information to Optionees and Purchasers 

  
 The Company shall provide to each Optionee and to each individual who acquires Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan, not less frequently than annually
during the period such Optionee or purchaser has one or more Options or Share Purchase Rights outstanding, and, in the case of an individual who acquires Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan, during the period such individual owns such Ordinary
Shares, copies of annual financial statements. The Company shall not be required to provide such statements to key employees whose duties in connection with the Company assure their access to equivalent information. 
  

	19.	Withholding 

  
 The Company’s obligations to deliver Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of an Option or Share Purchase Right shall be subject to the Optionee’s
satisfaction of all Applicable Laws related to tax withholding as a result of such exercise. 
  

	20.	Nonexclusivity of the Plan 

  
 Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor the submission of the Plan to shareholders of the Company for approval shall be construed as creating
