Change in Control Severance Agreement with Thomas J. Dostart

 Exhibit 10.8 
  
 CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS CHANGE IN CONTROL SEVERANCE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 21, 2005 (the
“Effective Date”), is made between Massey Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Thomas J. Dostart (the “Executive”). 
  
 WITNESSETH: 
  
 WHEREAS, Executive is a senior executive of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) and has made and is expected to continue to make
major contributions to the short-term and long-term profitability, growth and financial strength of the Company; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board,” as defined in Section 23) recognizes that, as is the case with many publicly
held corporations, the possibility of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 23) exists and that such possibility, and the uncertainty and questions which it may raise among management, may result in the departure or distraction of key
management personnel to the detriment of the Company and its stockholders; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Board has determined that appropriate steps should be taken to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of, and to contract for the continued rendering of services by, members of the
Company’s management, including Executive, in connection with their assigned duties without distraction in the face of potentially disturbing circumstances, and without the Company’s loss of needed personnel, arising from the possibility
of a Change in Control; and 
  
 WHEREAS, in consideration of
Executive’s continued employment with the Company, the Company desires to provide Executive with certain compensation and benefits set forth in this Agreement in order to ameliorate the financial and career impact on Executive in the event
Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated for a reason related to a Change in Control. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth (including definitions of capitalized
terms which are set forth in Section 23 and throughout this Agreement) and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Company and Executive agree as follows: 
  
 1. Obligations of Executive to Remain Employed. Executive agrees that in the event any person or group attempts a
Change in Control and he is either notified by the Board or aware of an attempted Change in Control, he shall not, without the written agreement of the Board, voluntarily leave the employ of the Company other than by reason of a Constructive
Termination Associated With a Change in Control (as defined in Section 23) (i) until such attempted Change in Control terminates or (ii) if a Change in Control shall occur, until the occurrence of such Change in Control. For purposes
of the foregoing clause (i) and this Agreement, Constructive Termination Associated With a Change in Control shall be determined, except as expressly provided in the definition of the term, as if a Change in Control had occurred when such
attempted Change in Control (which is sometimes referred to herein as a “potential”, as opposed to an “actual”, Change in Control) became known to the Board. For purposes of this Agreement, any decision by the Board that the
person or group has abandoned or terminated his or its efforts to effect a Change in Control shall be conclusive and binding on Executive. 
  
 2. Termination Associated With a Change in Control. 
  
 (a) Involuntary Termination Associated With a Change in Control. Executive shall be entitled to the payments and benefits provided
in Section 2(b) in the event Executive’s employment is terminated after, or in connection with, a Change in Control, on account of: 
  
 (i) an Involuntary Termination Associated With a Change in Control (as defined in Section 23) within the two year period after an
actual Change in Control, 

 (ii) a termination by the Company, other than for Cause (as defined in Section 23)
or other than due to Executive’s death or Disability (as defined in Section 23), that (A) occurs not more than three (3) months prior to the date on which an actual Change in Control occurs or (B) is requested by a third
party who initiates and effects an actual Change in Control, or 
  
 (iii) a termination by Executive that occurs after a potential Change in Control but before an actual Change in Control and is considered a Constructive Termination Associated With a Change in Control. 
  
 For purposes of clause (ii)(B) in the preceding sentence, to
be eligible to receive amounts described in Section 2(b) below, a Change in Control must be consummated within the twelve (12) month period following Executive’s Termination Date (as defined in Section 23), except in
circumstances pursuant to which the consummation of the Change in Control is delayed, through no failure of the Company or the third person, by a governmental or regulatory authority or agency with jurisdiction over the matter, or as a result of
other similar circumstances. In such a circumstance, the remainder of the twelve (12) month period shall be tolled and shall recommence upon termination of the delaying event. 
  
 (b) Payments Upon Involuntary Termination Associated With a Change in Control. Subject to the
provisions of Section 2(c) or Sections 3 and 6 hereof, in the event a termination described in Section 2(a) occurs, the Company shall pay and provide to Executive within thirty (30) days after his Termination Date or, where Executive
is entitled to benefits under this Agreement by reason of clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2(a) above, after the date the Change in Control occurs (or in any case, the end of the revocation period for the Release contemplated in
Section 4 hereof, if later): 
  
 (i) a lump
sum cash payment equal to 2.0 times Executive’s Base Pay (as defined in Section 23); 
  
 (ii) a lump sum cash payment equal to 2.0 times Executive’s Target Bonus (as defined in Section 23); 
  
 (iii) a pro rated payment of his Target Bonus for the year
in which Executive’s Termination Date occurs. The pro rated payment shall be based on Executive’s Target Bonus as of Executive’s Termination Date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during which
Executive was employed by the Company in the year of his termination and the denominator of which is 365; 
  
 (iv) any award under the Company’s long-term cash and equity incentive program, including stock option, restricted stock, restricted
unit, other equity- or cash-based incentive awards or other equity- or cash-based incentive agreements, which by its terms vests in connection with the Change in Control, provided that payment of such award shall be determined solely by the terms of
such award and any plan, program or arrangement which controls its determination and payment; and 
  
 (v) for a period of 24 months following his Termination Date, Executive shall continue to receive the medical and dental coverage in
effect on his Termination Date (or generally comparable coverage) for himself and, if applicable, his spouse and dependents, as the same may be changed from time to time for employees generally, as if Executive had continued in employment during
such period; or, as an alternative, the Company may elect to pay Executive cash in lieu of such coverage in an amount equal to Executive’s reasonable after-tax cost of continuing comparable coverage, where such coverage may not be continued by
the Company (or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to which the coverage is provided). 
  

 2 

 (A) If Executive does not receive the cash payment described in the preceding sentence,
the Company shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to provide that the COBRA (as defined in Section 23) health care continuation coverage period under section 4980B of the Code (as defined in Section 23) shall commence immediately
after the foregoing 24 month benefit period, with such continuation coverage continuing until the end of applicable COBRA health care continuation coverage period. 
  
 (B) If Executive would have been eligible for post-retirement medical and dental coverage had he retired
from employment during the period of 24 months following his Termination Date, but is not so eligible as the result of his Involuntary Termination Associated With a Change in Control, then at the conclusion of the benefit continuation period
described in (A) above, the Company shall take all commercially reasonable efforts to provide Executive with additional continued group medical and dental coverage comparable to that which would have been available to him from time to time
under the Company’s post-retirement medical and dental program, for as long as such coverage would have been available under such program, or, as an alternative, the Company may elect to pay Executive cash in lieu of such coverage in an amount
equal to Executive’s reasonable after-tax cost of continuing comparable coverage, where such coverage may not be continued by the Company (or where such continuation would adversely affect the tax status of the plan pursuant to which the
coverage is provided). 
  
 (c) Limitation on
Payments and Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the sum of the maximum amount payable and the value of the benefits provided to Executive pursuant to this Section 2 and Section 6(a) shall be limited
to 2.99 times the sum of Executive’s Base Pay and Bonus (as defined in Section 23). In the event a reduction is required pursuant hereto, unless Executive is permitted by the Company to choose the order of reduction, the order of reduction
shall be first all cash payments on a pro rata basis, then any equity compensation on a pro rata basis, and lastly medical and dental coverage. 
  
 (d) Cessation of Employment on Account of Disability, Cause or Death. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
if Executive’s employment terminates on account of Disability, Executive shall be entitled to receive disability benefits under any disability program maintained by the Company that covers Executive, and Executive shall not be considered to
have terminated employment under this Agreement and shall not receive payments and benefits pursuant to this Section 2. If Executive’s employment terminates on account of Cause or because of his death, Executive shall not be considered to
have terminated employment under this Agreement and shall not receive payments and benefits pursuant to this Section 2. 
  
 (e) Beneficiaries. Executive shall be entitled to select (and change, to the extent permitted under any applicable law) a
beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit payable hereunder following Executive’s death, and may change such election, in either case by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of Executive’s death
or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative. If Executive dies without having designated a
beneficiary, or if the beneficiary so designated has predeceased Executive or cannot be located by the Company within one year after the date when the Company commenced making a reasonable effort to locate such beneficiary, then Executive’s
surviving spouse, or if none, then Executive’s estate shall be deemed to be his beneficiary.

 3. Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan Omnibus Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, it is intended that any payment or benefit which is provided pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be provided
and paid in a manner, and at such time and in such form, as complies with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code to avoid the unfavorable tax consequences provided therein for non-compliance. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the Board is authorized to amend this Agreement, to amend any election made by Executive under this Agreement and/or to delay the payment of any monies and/or provision of any benefits in such manner as may be determined by it to
be necessary or appropriate to comply, or to evidence or further evidence required compliance, with Section 409A of the Code (including any transition or grandfather rules thereunder). For example, if a Change in Control occurs but the Change
in Control does not constitute a change in ownership of the Company or in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company as provided in Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(v) of the Code, then payment of any amount or provision of any
benefit under this Agreement which is considered to be nonqualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code shall be deferred until another permissible payment event contained in Section 409A occurs (e.g., death,
disability, separation from service from the Company and its affiliates as defined for purposes of Section 409A of the Code), including any deferral of payment or provision of benefits in connection with a separation from service payment event
to six (6) months after a key employee of a publicly traded corporation as required by Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code (the “409A Deferral Period”). In the event such payments are otherwise due to be made in installments or
periodically during the 409A Deferral Period, the payments which would otherwise have been made in the 409A Deferral Period shall be accumulated and paid in a lump sum as soon as the 409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the payments shall
be made as otherwise scheduled. In the event benefits are required to be deferred, any such benefit may be provided during the 409A Deferral Period at Executive’s expense, with Executive having a right to reimbursement from the Company once the
409A Deferral Period ends, and the balance of the benefits shall be provided as otherwise scheduled. 
  
 4. Release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payments shall be made or benefits provided under Section 2(b) unless Executive executes, and
does not revoke, the Company’s standard written release, substantially in the form as attached hereto as Appendix A (the “Release”), of any and all claims against the Company and all related parties with respect to all matters arising
out of Executive’s employment by the Company (other than any claim or entitlement under an employee benefit, long term cash or equity compensation plan, program, arrangement or agreement which is due pursuant to the terms of such plan, program,
arrangement or agreement) or a termination thereof. Such Release must be provided within sixty (60) days after Executive’s Terminate Date or, where Executive is entitled to benefits under this Agreement by reason of clause (ii) or
(iii) of Section 2(a) above, after the date the Change in Control occurs. 
  
 5. Enforcement. Without limiting the rights of Executive at law or in equity, except as provided in Section 6, if the Company fails to make any payment or provide any benefit required to be made or
provided hereunder on a timely basis, the Company will pay interest on the amount or value thereof at an annualized rate of interest equal to the so-called composite “prime rate” as quoted from time to time during the relevant period in
the Eastern Edition of The Wall Street Journal. Such interest will be payable as it accrues on demand. Any change in such prime rate will be effective on and as of the date of such change. 
  
 6. Tax Limitation on Payments by the Company. The provisions of this
Section 6 shall apply notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary. 
  
 (a) Subject to the limitation in Section 2(c), in the event that it shall be determined that any Payment would constitute an
“excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, then the Payments under Section 2 of this Agreement (“Change in Control Payments”) shall be reduced (but not below zero) so that the Present
Value of the aggregate of all Payments does not exceed the Reduced Amount; provided, however, that no such reduction shall be effected if the Net After-tax Benefit to Executive of receiving all of the Payments exceeds by more than the lesser of
$25,000 or 5% 
  

 4 

 of the Net After-tax Benefit to Executive resulting from having such Change in Control Payments so
reduced. In the event a reduction is required pursuant hereto, unless Executive is permitted by the Company to choose the order of reduction, the order of reduction shall be first all cash payments on a pro rata basis, then any equity compensation
on a pro rata basis, and lastly medical and dental coverage. For purposes of this Section 6, the following terms have the following meanings: 
  
 (i) “Net After-tax Benefit” shall mean the Present Value of a Payment net of all federal state and local income, employment and
excise taxes imposed on Executive with respect thereto, determined by applying the highest marginal rate(s) applicable to an individual for Executive’s taxable year in which the Change in Control occurs. 
  
 (ii) “Payment” means any payment or distribution
or provision of benefits by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any reductions required by
this Section 6. 
  
 (iii) “Present
Value” shall mean such value determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. 
  
 (iv) “Reduced Amount” shall be an amount expressed in Present Value which maximizes the aggregate Present Value of Payments
without causing any Payment to be subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or the deduction limitation of Section 280G of the Code. 
  
 (b) Except as set forth in the next sentence, all determinations to be made under this Section 6 shall be made by the nationally
recognized independent public accounting firm used by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control (“Accounting Firm”), which Accounting Firm shall provide its determinations and any supporting calculations to the Company and
Executive within ten days of Executive’s Termination Date. If determined by the Accounting Firm to be excludible from parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code, the value of Executive’s non-competition covenant under
Section 10(a) of this Agreement shall be determined by independent appraisal by a nationally-recognized business valuation firm acceptable to both Executive and the Company, and a portion of the Change in Control Payments shall, to the extent
of that appraised value, be specifically allocated as reasonable compensation for such non-competition covenant and shall not be treated as a parachute payment. Any such determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and
Executive. 
  
 (c) If the Accounting Firm
determines that Change in Control Payments should be reduced, the Company shall promptly give Executive notice to that effect and a copy of the detailed calculation thereof. All determinations made by the Accounting Firm under this Section 6
shall be binding upon the Company and Executive and shall be made within twenty (20) business days of Executive’s Termination Date. 
  
 (d) While it is the intention of the Company and Executive to reduce the amounts payable or distributable to Executive hereunder only if
the aggregate Net After-tax Benefit to Executive would thereby be increased in the manner provided for herein, as a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the
Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement which should not have been so paid or distributed (“Overpayment”) or
that additional amounts which will have not been paid or distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive pursuant to this Agreement could have been so paid or distributed (“Underpayment”), in each case, consistent with the
calculation of the Reduced Amount hereunder. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based either upon the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or Executive which the Accounting Firm believes has a 

 

 5 

 high probability of success determines that an Overpayment has been made, any such Overpayment paid or
distributed by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive shall be treated for all purposes as a loan to Executive which Executive shall repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in
Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code; provided, however, that no such loan shall be deemed to have been made and no amount shall be payable by Executive to the Company if and to the extent such deemed loan and payment would not either reduce the
amount on which Executive is subject to tax under Sections 1 and 4999 of the Code or generate a refund of such taxes. In the event that the Accounting Firm, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, determines that an Underpayment
has occurred, any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive together with interest at the applicable federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code. 
  
 (e) All of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm in
performing the determinations referred to in this Section 6 shall be borne solely by the Company. 
  
 7. Duties upon Termination; Mitigation Obligation. Upon termination of employment for any reason, Executive or his estate shall surrender to the
Company all correspondence, letters, files, contracts, mailing lists, customer lists, advertising materials, ledgers, supplies, equipment, checks, and all other materials and records of any kind that are the property of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or affiliates, that may be in Executive’s possession or under his control, including all copies of any of the foregoing. The Company hereby acknowledges that it will be difficult and may be impossible for Executive to find
reasonably comparable employment following the Termination Date. Accordingly, the payment and provision of the severance compensation by the Company to Executive in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is hereby acknowledged by the Company to
be reasonable, and Executive will not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor will any profits, income, earnings or other benefits from any source
whatsoever create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other obligation on the part of Executive hereunder or otherwise. 
  
 8. Legal Fees and Expenses. If litigation or arbitration is commenced by either party to enforce or interpret any provision contained in this
Agreement, the Company will undertake to indemnify Executive for his reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses associated with such litigation or arbitration if Executive substantially prevails in such litigation or arbitration or any settlement
thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it should appear to Executive that the Company has failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or in the event that the Company or any other person takes or threatens to take any
action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Executive the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Executive under Section 2 of
this Agreement, the Company will in any event reimburse Executive for his reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith up to $10,000 without regard to the commencement or outcome of any litigation or arbitration in
order for Executive to retain counsel to advise and represent Executive in connection with any such interpretation, enforcement or defense, including without limitation the initiation or defense of any litigation or other legal action, whether by or
against the Company or any director, officer or employee of the Company, in any jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any existing or prior attorney-client relationship between the Company and such counsel, the Company irrevocably consents to
Executive’s entering into an attorney-client relationship with such counsel, and in that connection, the Company and Executive agree that a confidential relationship will exist between Executive and such counsel. The first $10,000 of such
expenses will be paid by the Company as they are incurred by Executive, and any balance thereof due to Executive shall be paid within thirty (30) days after any final judgment or decision or settlement in which Executive substantially prevails.

  
 9. Confidentiality. Executive hereby covenants and
agrees that, except as specifically requested or directed by the Company, he will not disclose to any person not employed by the Company, or use in connection with engaging in competition with the Company, any confidential or proprietary information
(as 
  

 6 

 provided below) of the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “confidential or proprietary
information” will include all information of any nature and in any form that is owned by the Company and that is not publicly available (other than by Executive’s breach of this Section 9) or generally known to persons engaged in
businesses similar or related to those of the Company. Confidential or proprietary information will include, without limitation, the Company’s financial matters, customers, employees, industry contracts, strategic business plans, product
development (or other proprietary product data), marketing plans, consulting solutions and processes, and all other secrets and all other information of a confidential or proprietary nature which is protected by the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. For
purposes of the preceding two sentences, the term “Company” will also include any Subsidiary (as defined in Section 23; collectively, the “Restricted Group”). The foregoing obligations imposed by this Section 9 will not
apply (i) in the course of the business of and for the benefit of the Company, (ii) if such confidential or proprietary information has become, through no fault of Executive, generally known to the public, or (iii) if Executive is
required by law to make disclosure (after giving the Company notice and an opportunity to contest such requirement). In addition, if not otherwise filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available
through public disclosure from the SEC, Executive agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to anyone, except Executive’s spouse, attorney and, as necessary, tax/financial advisor, except as may be required by law. Likewise, the
Company agrees that the terms of this Agreement will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to obtain approval or authorization to fulfill its obligations hereunder or as required by law. It is expressly understood that any violation of the
confidentiality obligation imposed hereunder constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. 
  
 10. Covenants Not to Compete and Not to Solicit; Breach of Agreement Obligations by Executive. 
  
 (a) Covenant Not to Compete. In the event Executive breaches his obligations to the Company to remain employed as provided in
Section 1 above or if Executive is entitled to receive payments and benefits under Section 2 above other than pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2(a) above, then, for a period of one (1) year following
Executive’s Termination Date, Executive shall not directly or indirectly engage in (whether as an employee, consultant, proprietor, partner, director or otherwise), or have any ownership interest in, or participate in a financing, operation,
management or control of, any person, firm, corporation or business that is a Restricted Business in a Restricted Territory without the prior written consent of the Board. For this purpose, ownership, whether direct or beneficial, of no more than 5%
of the outstanding securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of a publicly traded corporation shall not constitute a violation of this provision. 
  
 (b) Covenant Not to Solicit. In the event Executive breaches his obligations to the Company to remain
employed as provided in Section 1 above or if Executive is entitled to receive payments and benefits under Section 2 above other than pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of Section 2(a) above, then, for a period of one
(1) year following Executive’s Termination Date, Executive shall not: (i) solicit, encourage or take any other action which is intended to induce any other employee, any supplier or any customer, of the Company or any Subsidiary to
terminate his employment or relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary; or (ii) interfere in any manner with the contractual or employment relationship between the Company and any such employee, supplier or customer of the Company or any
Subsidiary. The foregoing shall not prohibit Executive or any entity with which Executive may be affiliated from hiring a former employee of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, that such hiring results exclusively from such former
employee’s affirmative response to a general recruitment effort. 
  
 (c) Interpretation. The covenants contained herein are intended to be construed as a series of separate covenants, one for each of the counties, parishes, towns, cities or states or similar local governmental
or political subdivisions of the Restricted Territory. Except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be deemed identical in terms to the covenant contained in the preceding subsections. If, in any judicial proceeding, the court
shall refuse to enforce any of the separate covenants (or any part thereof) deemed included in such subsections, then such unenforceable covenant (or such part) shall be deemed to be eliminated from this Agreement for the purpose of those
proceedings to the extent necessary to permit the remaining separate covenants (or portions thereof) to be enforced.
  

 7 

 (d) Remedies for Breach. In the event of Executive’s termination of
employment, the Company’s obligations to provide the payments and benefits set forth in Section 2 shall be and are expressly conditioned upon Executive’s covenants not to compete and not to solicit as provided herein. In the event
Executive breaches his obligations to the Company as provided herein, the Company’s obligations to provide the payments and benefits set forth in Section 2 shall cease, and Executive shall be obligated to return to the Company any payments
and the value of any benefits previously received by him pursuant to Section 2. In addition, it is recognized that damages in the event of breach of this Section 10 by Executive would be difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain, and it
is therefore specifically agreed that the Company, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the right to an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction, enjoining any such
breach. The existence of the express rights to cease or recover payment and the value of benefits otherwise provided for in Section 2 and to obtain an injunction or other equitable relief shall not preclude the Company from pursuing any other
rights and remedies at law or in equity which it may have. 
  
 (e) Definitions. For proposes of this Section 10, the following terms have the following meanings: 
  
 (i) “Restricted Business” means any business function with a direct competitor of the Company or any Subsidiary that is
substantially similar to the business function performed by Executive with the Company or any Subsidiary immediately prior to his Termination Date. 
  
 (ii) “Restricted Territory” means the counties, parishes, towns, cities, or states or similar governmental or political
subdivisions of any country in which the Company or any Subsidiary operates or does business, inclusive of markets in which the Company competes with the Restricted Business to sell its products. 
  
 (f) Reasonableness. In the event that the provisions
of this Section 10 shall ever be deemed to exceed the time, scope or geographic limitations permitted by applicable laws, then such provisions shall be reformed to the maximum time, scope or geographic limitations, as the case may be, permitted
by applicable laws. 
  
 11. Employment Rights. Executive
and the Company acknowledge that, except as may otherwise be provided under any other written agreement between Executive and the Company or a Subsidiary, the employment of Executive by the Company is “at will.” Nothing expressed or
implied in this Agreement will create any right or duty on the part of the Company or Executive, except as provided in Section 1 above, to have Executive remain in the employment of the Company or any Subsidiary prior to or following any Change
in Control. 
  
 12. Withholding of Taxes. The Company may
withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes as the Company is required to withhold pursuant to any applicable law, regulation or ruling. 
  
 13. Term of Agreement. 
  
 (a) Regular Term and Extensions. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date hereof and shall continue until
the third anniversary thereof; provided, however, that commencing on the third anniversary, and each anniversary thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall automatically be extended for one year unless the Company gives notice not later than
thirty (30) days preceding any such anniversary year that it does not wish to extend this Agreement; and provided, further, that regardless of any such notice by the Company, this Agreement shall continue in effect for a period of 24 months
beyond the term provided herein if a Change in Control of the Company occurs during the period that this Agreement is in effect. 
  

 8 

 (b) Early Termination by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement
shall be subject to unilateral termination by the Company if the Board determines in good faith that Executive is no longer a key management employee to be provided the rights contained herein and so notifies Executive in writing; provided, however,
that such determination may not be made, and if made shall have no effect, if a Change in Control shall have occurred or during any period of time when the Company has knowledge that any person or group has taken steps reasonably calculated to
effect a Change in Control until, in the opinion of the Board, the third person has abandoned or terminated his or its efforts to effect a Change in Control. 
  

14. Successors and Binding Agreement. 
  
 (a) The Company will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise)
to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent the
Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor to the Company, including without limitation any persons acquiring directly or
indirectly all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, reorganization or otherwise (and such successor will thereafter be deemed “Company” for the purposes of this
Agreement), but will not otherwise be assignable, transferable or delegable by the Company. 
  
 (b) This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors,
administrators, successors, heirs, distributees and legatees. This Agreement will supersede the provisions of any employment agreement between Executive and the Company that relate to any matter that is also the subject of this Agreement, and such
provisions in such employment agreement will be null and void. The foregoing sentence shall have no impact on any outstanding agreement made with Executive under the Company’s long-term incentive program, including, stock option, restricted
stock, restricted unit, other equity- or cash-based incentive awards or other equity- or cash-based agreements at any time in effect. 
  
 (c) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties hereto will, without the consent of the other, assign, transfer or
delegate this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in Sections 14(a) and (b). Without limiting the generality or effect of the foregoing, Executive’s right to receive payments and benefits hereunder will
not be assignable, transferable or delegable, whether by pledge, creation of a security interest, or otherwise, other than by a transfer by Executive’s will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, in the event of any attempted
assignment or transfer contrary to this Section 14(c), the Company will have no liability to pay any amount so attempted to be assigned, transferred or delegated. 
  
 15. Notices. For all purposes of this Agreement, all communications, including without limitation, notices, consents,

herein, the following terms have the following meanings when used in this Agreement with initial capital letters: 
  
 (a) “Base Pay” means the greater of (i) Executive’s annual base salary rate, exclusive of Bonus, as in effect
immediately preceding Executive’s Termination Date, and (ii) Executive’s highest annual base salary rate, exclusive of Bonus, in effect at any time during the three years immediately preceding the Change in Control. 
  

 10 

 (b) “Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company. If Executive is also a
member of the Board, then in the case of any provision hereof that requires action by, or a determination of, the Board in connection with this Agreement, it is understood that such provision refers to the members of the Board other than Executive.
Unless otherwise provided by the Board and except in determining Cause, the Compensation Committee of the Board shall have full authority to act on behalf of the Board in connection with any duty or action expressly assigned under, or implicitly to
be acted on in connection with, this Agreement to or by the Board. 
  
 (c) “Bonus” means the highest amounts payable under Executive’s annual cash bonus award plus the highest amounts payable under all Executive’s outstanding long-term cash incentive bonus awards that
contain as a year of measurement, the year in which Executive is terminated. Bonus does not include any stock option, stock appreciation, stock purchase, restricted stock, restricted unit, performance stock, performance unit, shadow stock or similar
equity incentive plan, program, arrangement or grant, one time bonus or payment, any amounts contributed by the Company or any Subsidiary for the benefit of Executive to any qualified or nonqualified deferred compensation plan, or any amounts
designated by the parties as amounts other than Bonus. 
  
 (d) “Cause” shall occur hereunder only upon: 
  
 (i) the willful and continued failure by Executive substantially to perform his duties with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from his incapacity due to physical or mental illness) after a written
demand for substantial performance is delivered to him by the Board which specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that he has not substantially performed his duties, 
  
 (ii) Executive’s willful breach of fiduciary duty,
willful violation of any law, rule, or regulation (other than traffic violations or similar offenses), willful violation of a final cease and desist order or willful engaging in other gross misconduct which is materially and demonstrably injurious
to the Company or any Subsidiary, or 
  
 (iii)
Executive’s conviction of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere to, the commission of a felony involving fraud, embezzlement, theft or moral turpitude. 
  

For purposes of this Section 23(d), no act, or failure to act, on Executive’s part described in clause (i) or
(ii) above shall be considered “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by him not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company and its Subsidiaries.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the
entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board called and held for the purpose, among others (after at least 20 days prior notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with his counsel, to be heard before the Board), of
finding that (x) in the good faith opinion of the Board Executive failed to perform his duties or engaged in misconduct as set forth above in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph, and, if applicable, that Executive did not correct
such failure or cease such misconduct after being requested to do so by the Board, or (y) as set forth in clause (iii) of this paragraph, Executive has been convicted of or has entered a plea of nolo contendere to the commission of a
felony. The fact that Executive is or shortly may be “retirement eligible” and thus eligible for or entitled to post-retirement benefits from any plan, arrangement or program sponsored, participated in or contributed to by the Company or
any Subsidiary shall not prevent Executive’s termination from being considered termination for Cause. 
  

 11 

 (e) “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:

  
 (i) a third person, including a
“group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, acquires shares of the Company having twenty-five percent or more of the total number of votes that may be cast for the election of directors
of the Company; or 
  
 (ii) as the result of any
cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, (a “Transaction”), the persons who were directors of the Company before the Transaction shall cease to constitute a
majority of the Board of the Company or any successor to the Company. 
  
 For purposes hereof, a “potential” Change in Control is considered to occur and remain present commencing upon the date that any person or group attempts a Change in Control and the Executive is either
notified by the Board or aware of an attempted Change in Control. All decisions regarding the time of the commencement, the pendancy and the abandonment or termination of a potential Change in Control shall be made by the Board in good faith and
shall be conclusive and binding on the Executive. An “actual” Change in Control means that one of the two events described in (i) or (ii) above has occurred. 
  
 (f) “COBRA” means the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986, as amended.

  
 (g) “Code” means the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 
  
 (h)
“Constructive Termination Associated With a Change in Control” means the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company by Executive as a result of the occurrence, without Executive’s written consent, of one of the
following events: 
  
 (i) following the
occurrence of an actual, but not a potential, Change in Control, the assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent in any respect with Executive’s position (including status, offices, titles and reporting requirements), authority, duties
or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control, or any other action by the Company or any Subsidiary which results in a diminution in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities, other than an isolated,
insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company or Subsidiary promptly after receipt of notice thereof given by Executive; 
  
 (ii) following the occurrence of an actual or potential Change in Control, any failure by the Company or any
Subsidiary to continue Executive’s employment upon the terms and conditions as existed immediately prior to the Change in Control (other than any term or condition covered in clause (i) above), including but not limited to compensation
level and annual and long-term cash and equity incentive opportunity, other than an isolated, insubstantial and inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is remedied by the Company or Subsidiary promptly after receipt of notice
thereof given by Executive; 
  
 (iii) following
the occurrence of an actual or potential Change in Control, a material reduction in the level of Employee Benefits provided to Executive immediately prior to the Change in Control; or 
  
 (iv) following the occurrence of an actual or potential Change in Control, the relocation of
Executive’s principal work location (other than in connection with a relocation contemplated by the Company as of the date hereof or pursuant to organizational changes in accordance with past practice) to a location that increases
Executive’s normal work commute by fifty (50) miles or more as compared to Executive’s normal work commute immediately prior to the Change in Control or 
  

 12 

 that Executive’s required travel away from his office in the course of discharging his
responsibilities or duties of his job is increased by an unreasonable amount as compared to that which was required of Executive in any of the three (3) full years immediately prior to the Change in Control. 
  
 For purposes hereof, “Employee Benefits” means the
perquisites, benefits and service credit for benefits as provided under any and all employee retirement income and welfare benefit policies, plans, programs or arrangements in which Executive is entitled to participate, including, without
limitation, any stock option, stock appreciation, stock purchase, restricted stock, restricted unit, performance stock, performance unit, shadow stock or similar equity incentive plan, program, arrangement, savings, pension, supplemental executive
retirement, or other retirement income or welfare benefit, deferred compensation, incentive compensation, group or other life, health, medical/hospital or other insurance (whether funded by actual insurance or self-insured by the Company or a
Subsidiary), disability, salary continuation, expense reimbursement and other employee benefit policies that may exist as of a Change in Control or any successor policies, plans or arrangements that provide substantially similar perquisites or
benefits. 
  
 Without limiting the generality or
effect of the foregoing, Executive shall have no right to terminate employment in a Constructive Termination Associated With a Change in Control in connection with an event described above unless (x) Executive provides written notice to the
Company within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of such event that identifies such event with particularity, and (y) the Company fails to correct such event within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice from Executive.

  
 In no event shall the termination of
Executive’s employment with the Company on account of Executive’s death or Disability or because Executive engaged in conduct constituting Cause be deemed to be a Constructive Termination Associated With a Change in Control. 
  
 (i) “Disability” means Executive becomes
permanently disabled within the meaning of, and begins actually to receive long-term disability benefits pursuant to, the long-term disability plan of the Company or any Subsidiary in effect for, or applicable to, Executive, or if none, then
Executive is determined by the Social Security Administration to be totally and permanently disabled for purposes of entitlement to Social Security disability benefits. 
  
 (j) “Involuntary Termination Associated With a Change in Control” means the termination of
Executive’s employment related to a Change in Control: (i) by the Company for any reason other than Cause, Executive’s death or Executive’s Disability, or (ii) on account of a Constructive Termination Associated With a
Change in Control. The fact that Executive is or shortly may be “retirement eligible” and thus eligible for or entitled to post-retirement benefits from any plan, arrangement or program sponsored, participated in or contributed to by the
Company or any Subsidiary shall not prevent Executive’s termination from being a Involuntary Termination Associated With a Change in Control. 
  
 (k) “Subsidiary” means any Company affiliate, whether or not incorporated, the majority of the outstanding capital stock or
other ownership interests of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. 
  
 (l) “Target Bonus” means Executive’s annual cash bonus award target.

 THIS SEPARATION OF EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT AND GENERAL RELEASE (the “Agreement”) is made as of this
     day of                 ,             , by
and between Massey Energy Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and
                                     (the
“Executive”). 
  
 WHEREAS, Executive formerly was
employed by the Company as              ; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Executive and Company entered into a Change in Control Severance Agreement, dated
                ,          2005, (the “Severance Agreement”) which provides for certain
payments and benefits in the event that Executive’s employment is terminated on account of a reason set forth in the Severance Agreement; and 
  
 WHEREAS, an express condition of Executive’s entitlement to the payments and benefits under the Severance Agreement is the execution of a general
release in the form set forth below; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Executive
and the Company mutually desire to terminate Executive’s employment on an amicable basis, such termination to be effective             
            ,              (“Termination Date”). 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED by and between Executive and the Company
as follows: 
  
 1. (a) Executive, for and in consideration
of the commitments of the Company as set forth in paragraph 6 of this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, does hereby REMISE, RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries and parents, and its officers, directors,
employees, and agents, and its and their respective successors and assigns, heirs, executors, and administrators (collectively, “Releasees”) from all causes of action, suits, debts, claims and demands whatsoever in law or in equity, which
Executive ever had, now has, or hereafter may have, whether known or unknown, or which Executive’s heirs, executors, or administrators may have, by reason of any matter, cause or thing whatsoever, from the beginning of Executive’s
employment to the date of this Agreement, and particularly, but without limitation of the foregoing general terms, any claims arising from or relating in any way to Executive’s employment relationship with the Company, the terms and conditions
of that employment relationship, and the termination of that employment relationship, including, but not limited to, any claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and any other claims under any federal, state or local common law, statutory, or regulatory
provision, now or hereafter recognized, and any claims for attorneys’ fees and costs. This Agreement is effective without regard to the legal nature of the claims raised and without regard to whether any such claims are based upon tort, equity,
implied or express contract or discrimination of any sort. 
  
 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, and subject to the provisions of paragraph 11 below, Executive represents and affirms that (i) [other than
            ,] Executive has not filed or caused to be filed on Executive’s behalf any claim for relief against the Company or any Releasee and, to the best of
Executive’s knowledge and belief, no outstanding claims for relief have been filed or asserted against the Company or any Releasee on Executive’s behalf; and (ii) [other than
            ,] Executive has not reported any improper, unethical or illegal conduct or activities to any supervisor, manager, department head, human resources
representative, agent or other representative of the Company, to any member of the Company’s legal or compliance departments, or to the ethics hotline, and has no knowledge of any such improper, unethical or illegal conduct or activities.
Executive agrees to dismiss with prejudice all claims for relief filed before the date hereof. 
  

 A-1 

 (c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the foregoing release does not apply to
any claim or entitlement under an employee benefit or long term cash or equity incentive compensation plan, program, arrangement or agreement which is due pursuant to the terms of such plan, program, arrangement or agreement. 
  
 2. The Company, for and in consideration of the commitments of Executive as
set forth in this Agreement, and intending to be legally bound, does hereby REMISE, RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE Executive from all claims, demands or causes of action arising out of facts or occurrences prior to the date of this Agreement, but
only to the extent the Company knows or reasonably should know of such facts or occurrence and only to the extent such claim, demand or cause of action relates to a violation of applicable law or the performance of Executive’s duties with the
Company; provided, however, that this release of claims shall not in any case be effective with respect to any claim by the Company alleging a breach of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement. [Note: The Company and Executive may, but
shall not be required to mutually agree on a case-by-case basis at the time of the signing of this release to include the foregoing provision, or a substantially similar provision, to this Agreement.] 
  
 3. In consideration of the Company’s agreements as set forth in
paragraph 6 herein, Executive agrees to comply with the limitations described in Sections 9 and 10 of the Severance Agreement. 
  
 4. Executive further agrees and recognizes that Executive has permanently and irrevocably severed Executive’s employment relationship with the
Company, that Executive shall not seek employment with the Company or any affiliated entity at any time within two (2) years after his Termination Date, and that the Company has no obligation to employ him in the future. 
  
 5. Executive further agrees that Executive will not disparage or subvert the
Company, or make any statement reflecting negatively on the Company, its affiliated corporations or entities, or any of their officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives, including, but not limited to, any matters relating to the
operation or management of the Company, Executive’s employment and the termination of Executive’s employment, irrespective of the truthfulness or falsity of such statement. 
  
 6. In consideration for Executive’s agreements as set forth herein, the Company agrees to pay or provide to or for
Executive the payments and benefits described in Section 2(b) of the Severance Agreement, the provisions of which are incorporated herein by reference. Except as set forth in this Agreement, it is expressly agreed and understood that Releasees
do not have, and will not have, any obligations to provide Executive at any time in the future with any payments, benefits or considerations other than those recited in this paragraph, those excluded from release in Section 1(c) of this
Agreement or those required by law, other than under the terms of any benefit plans which provide benefits or payments to former employees according to their terms. 
  
 7. Executive understands and agrees that the payments, benefits and agreements provided in this Agreement are being provided
to him in consideration for Executive’s acceptance and execution of, and in reliance upon Executive’s representations in, this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that if Executive had not executed this Agreement containing a release of all
claims against the Company, Executive would not have been entitled to the payments and benefits set forth in Section 2(b) of the Severance Agreement. 
  
 8. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company previously has satisfied any and all obligations owed to him under any employment agreement or offer
letter Executive has with the Company and, further, that this Agreement supersedes any employment agreement or offer letter Executive has with the Company, and any and all other prior agreements or understandings, whether written or oral, between
the parties which are inconsistent with this Agreement, and further, that, except as set forth expressly herein, no promises or 
  

 A-2 

 representations have been made to him in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment agreement, if

 9. If not otherwise filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and available through public disclosure from
the SEC, Executive agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement or the Severance Agreement to anyone, except Executive’s spouse, attorney and, as necessary, tax/financial advisor, except as may be required by law. Likewise, the Company
agrees that the terms of this Agreement will not be disclosed except as may be necessary to obtain approval or authorization to fulfill its obligations hereunder or as required by law. It is expressly understood that any violation of the
confidentiality obligation imposed hereunder constitutes a material breach of this Agreement. 
  
 10. Executive represents that Executive does not presently have in Executive’s possession any records and business documents, whether on computer or hard copy, and other materials (including but not limited to
computer disks and tapes, computer programs and software, office keys, correspondence, files, customer lists, technical information, customer information, pricing information, business strategies and plans, sales records and all copies thereof)
(collectively, the “Corporate Records”) provided by the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries or affiliates or obtained as a result of Executive’s prior employment with the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries or
affiliates, or created by Executive while employed by or rendering services to the Company and/or its predecessors, subsidiaries or affiliates. Executive acknowledges that all such Corporate Records are the property of the Company. In addition,
Executive shall promptly return in good condition any and all Company owned equipment or property, including, but not limited to, automobiles, personal data assistants, facsimile machines, copy machines, pagers, credit cards, cellular telephone
equipment, business cards, laptops and computers, unless mutually agreed upon in writing. As of the Termination Date, the Company will make arrangements to remove, terminate or transfer any and all business communication lines including network
access, cellular phone, fax line and other business numbers. 
  
 11. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict Executive from: (i) making any disclosure of information required by law; (ii) providing information to, or testifying or otherwise assisting in any investigation or
proceeding brought by, any federal regulatory or law enforcement agency or legislative body, any self-regulatory organization, or the Company’s designated legal, compliance or human resources officers; or (iii) filing, testifying,
participating in or otherwise assisting in a proceeding relating to an alleged violation of any federal, state or municipal law relating to fraud, or any rule or regulation of the Securities and Exchange Commission or any self-regulatory
organization. 
  
 12. The parties agree and acknowledge that the
agreement by the Company described herein, and the settlement and termination of any asserted or unasserted claims against the Releasees, are not and shall not be construed to be an admission of any violation of any federal, state or local statute
or regulation, or of any duty owed by any of the Releasees to Executive. 
  
 13. Executive agrees and recognizes that should Executive breach any of the obligations or covenants set forth in this Agreement, the Company will have no further obligation to provide Executive with the consideration
set forth herein, and will have the right to seek repayment of all consideration paid up to the time of any such breach. Further, Executive acknowledges in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Releasees may seek any and all appropriate relief
for any such breach, including equitable relief and/or money damages, attorneys’ fees and costs. 
  
 14. Executive further agrees that the Company shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual
damages, as well as to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violations of this Agreement, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Company may be
entitled. 
  

 A-3 

 15. This Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed, interpreted and
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws of such State. 
  
 16. Executive certifies and acknowledges as follows: 
  
 (a) That Executive has read the terms of this Agreement, and that Executive understands its terms and effects, including the fact that,
other than as excepted in paragraph 1 hereof, Executive has agreed to RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the Company and each and every one of its affiliated entities from any legal action arising out of Executive’s employment relationship with the
Company and the termination of that employment relationship; and

 (d) That Executive does not waive rights or claims that
may arise after the date this Agreement is executed; and 
  
 (e) That the Company has provided him with a period of [twenty-one (21) - generally applicable for an individual termination] or [forty-five (45) - generally applicable for a group termination] days
within which to consider this Agreement, and that Executive has signed on the date indicated below after concluding that this Separation of Employment Agreement and General Release is satisfactory to him; and

Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or, if Form F-3 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to
effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities, subject to the Required Investors’ consent), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities. Such Registration Statement shall include the plan of distribution attached hereto
as Exhibit A. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional Ordinary Shares resulting from stock
splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Initial Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each person who now has piggyback registration rights a waiver of those rights with
respect to the Registration Statement. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Investors and
their counsel prior to its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such
Registration Statement should 

  

 -2- 

 
have been filed for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall be in partial compensation to
the Investors, and shall not constitute the Investors’ exclusive remedy for such events. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. For the avoidance of doubt and as an example only, in the event that the Company files a Registration
Statement three days after the Filing Deadline, the Company would be liable for liquidated damages in the amount of US$1,200.00. 
  
 (ii) Additional Registrable Securities. Upon the written demand of any Investor, upon any change in the Warrant Price (as defined
in the Warrants) or the Conversion Price (as defined in the Notes) such that additional Ordinary Shares become issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants or the conversion of the Notes, and upon any increase in the number of Payment Shares to be
issued under the Notes beyond those covered by the Registration Statement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC one or more Registration Statements on Form F-3 or amend the Registration Statement filed pursuant to clause (i) above,
if such Registration Statement has not previously been declared effective (or, if Form F-3 is not then available to the Company, on such form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such additional
Ordinary Shares (the “Additional Shares”), subject to the Required Investors’ consent) covering the resale of the Additional Shares, but only to the extent the Additional Shares are not at the time covered by an effective Registration
Statement. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional Ordinary Shares resulting from stock splits, stock
dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Additional Shares. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each person who now has piggyback registration rights a waiver of those rights with respect to such
Registration Statement. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Investors and their counsel prior
to its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement covering the Additional Shares is required to be filed under this Section 2(a)(ii) and is not filed with the SEC within five Business Days of the request of any Investor or upon the
occurrence of any of the events specified in this Section 2(a)(ii), the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such
Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been filed for which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Additional Shares. Such payments
shall be in partial compensation to the Investors, and shall not constitute the Investors’ exclusive remedy for such events. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. For the avoidance of doubt and as an example only, in the event
that a Registration Statement covering US$100,000 of Ordinary Shares was filed three days late, the Company would be liable for liquidated damages in the amount of US$100.00. 
  
 (b) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including filing
and printing fees, the Company’s counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws, listing fees, fees and expenses of one counsel to the
Investors and the Investors’ reasonable expenses in connection with the registration, but excluding discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry professionals with respect to the
Registrable Securities being sold. 
  

 -3- 

 (c) Effectiveness. 
  
 (i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared
effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall notify the Investors by facsimile or e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement is declared effective and shall
simultaneously provide the Investors with copies of any related Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. If (A)(x) a Registration Statement covering the Initial Registrable Securities
is not declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days after Closing Date, or (y) a Registration Statement covering Additional Shares is not declared effective by the SEC within ninety (90) days following the time such
Registration Statement was required to be filed pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii), or (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason
(including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement), but excluding the inability of any Investor to sell the Registrable Securities covered thereby due to market conditions and
except as excused pursuant to subparagraph (ii) below, then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for
each 30- day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective (the “Blackout Period”). Such payments shall be in partial compensation to the Investors, and shall
not constitute the Investors’ exclusive remedy for such events. For the avoidance of doubt and as an example only, in the event that a Registration Statement covering US$100,000 of Ordinary Shares is declared effective three days after a
deadline imposed in this Section 2(c)(i), the Company would be liable for liquidated damages in the amount of US$100.00. The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid monthly within three (3) Business
Days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination of the Blackout Period. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. 
  
 (ii) For not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty-five
(45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company, by suspending the use of any Prospectus included in any registration contemplated by this Section
containing such information, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company, in the best interests of the Company (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (a) notify the
Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company disclose to such Investor any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an
Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

  

 -4- 

 3. Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the
registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible: 
  
 (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective for
a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement as amended from time to time, have been sold, and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities
covered by such Registration Statement may be sold pursuant to Rule 144(k) (the “Effectiveness Period”) and advise the Investors in writing when the Effectiveness Period has expired; 
  
 (b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
post-effective amendments to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective for the period specified in Section 3(a) and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act and the 1934
Act with respect to the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby; 
  
 (c) provide copies to and permit counsel designated by the Investors to review each Registration Statement and all amendments and
supplements thereto no fewer than three (3) Business Days prior to their filing with the SEC and not file any document to which such counsel reasonably objects; 
  
 (d) furnish to the Investors and their legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and
publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any
amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the
staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor that are
covered by the related Registration Statement; 
  
 (e) use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment;

  
 (f) prior to any public offering of
Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the
securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions requested by the Investors and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities
covered by the Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (i) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to
qualify but for this Section 3(f), (ii) subject itself to 

  

 -5- 

 
general taxation in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be so subject but for this Section 3(f), or (iii) file a general consent to
service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
  
 (g) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange, interdealer quotation system or other market on which similar securities issued by the
Company are then listed; 
  
 (h) immediately
notify the Investors, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the Prospectus included in a
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 light of the circumstances
then existing, and at the request of any such holder, promptly prepare and furnish to such holder a reasonable 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 Registrable 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 light of
the circumstances then existing; and 
  
 (i)
otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate the registration of the
Registrable Securities hereunder; and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than the Availability Date (as defined below), an earnings statement covering a period of at least twelve
(12) months, beginning after the effective date of each Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act, including Rule 158 promulgated thereunder (for the purpose of this
subsection 3(i), “Availability Date” means the 45th day following the end of the fourth fiscal quarter that includes the effective date of such Registration Statement, except that, if such fourth fiscal quarter is the last quarter of the
Company’s fiscal year, “Availability Date” means the 90th day after the end of such fourth fiscal quarter). 
  
 (j) With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor rule) and any other rule or regulation of
the SEC that may at any time permit the Investors to sell Ordinary Shares to the public without registration, the Company covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule
144, until the earlier of (A) six months after such date as all of the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of the Registrable Securities shall have been
resold; (ii) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to each Investor upon request, as long as such Investor owns any Registrable Securities,
(A) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act, (B) a copy of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F or Report of Foreign Issuer on Form 6-K, and (C) such
other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration. 
  

 -6- 

 4. Due Diligence Review; Information. The Company shall make available, during normal business
hours, for inspection and review by the Investors, advisors to and representatives of the Investors (who may or may not be affiliated with the Investors and who are reasonably acceptable to the Company), all financial and other records, all SEC
Filings (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and other filings with the SEC, and all other corporate documents and properties of the Company as may be reasonably necessary for the purpose of such review, and cause the Company’s officers,
directors and employees, within a reasonable time period, to supply all such information reasonably requested by the Investors or any such representative, advisor or underwriter in connection with such Registration Statement (including, without
limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investors
and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement. 
  
 The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the
Investors, or to advisors to or representatives of the Investors, unless prior to disclosure of such information the Company identifies such information as being material nonpublic information and provides the Investors, such advisors and
representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Investor wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect
thereto. 
  
 5. Obligations of the Investors. 

 
 (a) Each Investor shall furnish in writing to the Company
such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and
shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each
Investor of the information the Company requires from such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. An Investor shall provide such information to the Company at least two
(2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. 
  
 (b) Each Investor, by its acceptance of the Registrable
Securities agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to
exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement. 
  
 (c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to
Section 3(h) hereof, such Investor will immediately 

  

 -7- 

 
discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until the Investor’s
receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus filed with the SEC and until any related post-effective amendment is declared effective and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of
the Company) or destroy (and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Investor’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
  
 6. Indemnification. 
  
 (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other
document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws
thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company
in connection with such registration; or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable Securities included in any such Registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the
Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or
liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use
in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. 
  
 (b) Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each
person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a
material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such
untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such 

  

 -8- 

 
Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto. In no event shall the
liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such Investor has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification obligation. 
  
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any
person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and
expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ
counsel reasonably satisfactory to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such
claims (in which case, if the person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of
such claim on behalf of such person); and provided, further, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that
such failure to give notice shall materially adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction,
be liable for fees or expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any
settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. 
  
 (d) Contribution. If for any reason the
indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no
event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the
amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution
obligation.

 Exhibit A 
  

Plan of Distribution 
  
 The selling shareholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling Ordinary shares or interests
in Ordinary shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling shareholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their Ordinary
shares or interests therein on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to
the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. 
  
 The selling shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when disposing of shares or interests therein: 
  

	 	•	 	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; 

  

	 	•	 	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the Ordinary shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the
transaction; 

  

	 	•	 	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; 

  

	 	•	 	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; 

  

	 	•	 	privately negotiated transactions; 

  

	 	•	 	short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC; 

  

	 	•	 	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise; 

  

	 	•	 	broker-dealers may agree with the selling shareholders to sell a specified number of such Ordinary shares at a stipulated price per share; and 

  

	 	•	 	a combination of any such methods of sale. 

  
 The selling shareholders may, from time to time, pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Ordinary shares owned by them and, if they
default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Ordinary shares, from time to time, under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders also may transfer the
Ordinary 

  

 -14- 

 
shares in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of
this prospectus. 
  
 In connection with the sale of our Ordinary
shares or interests therein, the selling shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Ordinary shares in the course of hedging the positions they
assume. The selling shareholders may also sell Ordinary shares short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge Ordinary shares to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling
shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of
Ordinary shares offered by this prospectus, which Ordinary shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). 
  
 The aggregate proceeds to the selling shareholders from the sale of the
Ordinary shares offered by them will be the purchase price of the Ordinary shares less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling shareholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in
whole or in part, any proposed purchase of Ordinary shares to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering. 
  
 The selling shareholders also may resell all or a portion of the Ordinary shares in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933, provided that they meet the criteria and conform to the requirements of that rule. 
  
 The selling shareholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of Ordinary shares or interests therein may be
“underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of Ordinary shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities
Act. Selling shareholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. 
  
 To the extent required, the Ordinary shares to be sold, the names of the
selling shareholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying
prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus. 
  
 In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the Ordinary shares may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered
or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the Ordinary shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.
