Appraisal Rights Notwithstanding Section 2.4, if appraisal rights are available to the holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL as a result of the Merger, shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL shall not be converted into a right to receive from Parent the Per Share Merger Consideration for each share held as provided in Section 2.4(a), unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such right to appraisal. If after the Effective Time such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses such right to appraisal, such holder's shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive from Parent the Per Share Merger Consideration. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Common Stock, and Parent shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. Any amounts paid to a holder of Company Common Stock pursuant to a right of appraisal under Section 262 of the DGCL will be paid by the Company out of the Company's assets and in no event shall Parent or any affiliate thereof reimburse the Company for such payments."

12. Section 3 of Schedule 7.2(g) of the Original Agreement hereby is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
Appraisal Shares Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Common Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (“Appraisal Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.06, but rather the holders of Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment by the Surviving Corporation of the “fair value” of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall cease and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Merger Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.06. The Company shall provide prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to Section 262 received by the Company. Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.
No Exercise of Appraisal Rights Such Stockholder forever waives and agrees not to exercise any appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights, including pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, in respect of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares that may arise in connection with the Offer or the Merger.
No Appraisal Rights Shareholders shall have no right to demand payment for their Shares or to any other rights of dissenting Shareholders in the event the Trust participates in any transaction which would give rise to appraisal or dissenters’ rights by a stockholder of a corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or would otherwise give rise to such appraisal or dissenters’ rights.
Company Shares If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account or for the account of others in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
Waiver of Appraisal Rights Each Stockholder hereby waives any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger.
Dissenting Shares (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who has complied with Section 262 of the DGCL (“Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration, unless such holder fails to perfect or such holder waives, withdraws or otherwise loses his or her right to appraisal. A holder of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to receive payment of the appraised value of such Shares held by such holder in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL, unless, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect or such holder waives, properly withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal, in which case such Shares shall be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates representing such Shares pursuant to Section 2.2.
(b) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any Shares, attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Except with the prior written consent of Parent, the Company shall not make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or settle or offer to settle any such demands for appraisal.
No Preemptive Rights, Registration Rights or Options Except as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no (i) preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any equity interests in the Partnership Entities or (ii) outstanding options or warrants to purchase any securities of the Partnership Entities. Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Units as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any Common Units or other securities of the Partnership.
Drag Along (a) If at any time after March 13, 2017, there shall be:
(i) an offer by a Person that is not an Affiliate of any party hereof to purchase all or substantially all the Shares or voting rights in the Company;
(ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity but the Shares or voting rights of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or otherwise; or
(iii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all the Company’s properties and assets to any other Person, in each case, if the Majority Class A Ordinary Shareholders, Majority Series A-1 Preferred Shareholders, Majority Series A-2 Preferred Shareholders, Majority Series B Preferred Shareholders (which shall include Apoletto), and Majority Series C Preferred Shareholders (collectively, the “Drag Holders”) approve such transaction, which is a transaction at arm’s length for an equity valuation of the Company immediately prior to such transaction of not less than US$3,000,000,000, at the request of the Drag Holders, then each remaining Shareholder (each, a “Dragged Holder”) shall sell, transfer, convey or assign its Shares (such sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment pursuant to this Section 9.2, a “Drag-Along Sale”) pursuant to, and so as to give effect to, such offer to purchase, merger or consolidation, sale or transfer, as the case may be. If any Dragged Holder does not elect to vote, or give its written consent to the Drag-Along Sale, such Dragged Holder shall be obligated to purchase all the shares held by the Drag Holders and other Dragged Holders who has consented to participate in the Drag-Along Sale at the price upon terms offered for the Drag-Along Sale. In such event, the Dragged Holders who do not wish to sell their shares shall make a matching offer to purchase from all other relevant shareholders the shares proposed to be sold by any other such shareholders on no less favorable terms than the bona fide offer within thirty (30) Business days of the request for a Drag-Along Notice issued by the Drag Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, in all cases any exercise of rights pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall constitute a Deemed Liquidation Event under the Revised M&A. If any Dragged Holder has unilateral veto right to veto against the Drag-Along Sale, it is entitled to exercise its veto right to disapprove the Drag-Along Sale. However, if such Dragged Holder selects not to exercise such veto right, it shall act in accordance with this Section 9.2. If the consideration offered is payable in securities or property other than cash (or evidence of cash indebtedness), the Board shall in good faith determine the fair market value of any such securities or property in cash, provided that any holder of Preferred Shares shall have the right to challenge any determination by the Board of fair market value made pursuant hereto, in which case the determination of fair market value shall be made by a valuer selected jointly by the Board and the challenging parties. The valuer shall prepare a report setting forth the basis of its calculating such fair market value, and the determination of such fair market value by the valuer shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive. Up to US$100,000 of the costs of appointing the valuer shall be borne solely by the challenging holder(s) of Preferred Shares, and any amount of such costs in excess of US$100,000 shall be borne equally by the challenging holder(s) of Preferred Shares and the Company. The valuer shall act as expert and not as an arbitrator. If the acquiring party is a privately-held entity and the Investors receive in whole or in part non-publicly traded securities of such acquirer, then such non-publicly traded securities shall have liquidation preference(s), protective provision(s), voting right(s), dividend right(s), registration rights and preemptive rights that are substantially similar to those of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, Series A-2 Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares, and Series C Preferred Shares, as applicable, as set forth herein as of the date hereof.
(b) The restrictions on Transfers of Shares set forth in Sections 10.1, 4.2 and 5 shall not apply in connection with a sale pursuant to this Section 9.2, or anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) Upon the approval of a Drag-Along Sale as described in this Section 9.2, each Dragged Holder shall grant to the CEO, a power of attorney to transfer its Shares and to do and carry out all other necessary or advisable acts to complete the Drag-Along Sale, including, without limitation, executing any and all documents (including instruments of transfer) on behalf of such Dragged Holder. The CEO shall be authorized to transfer the Shares of each Dragged Holder and to do and carry out all other necessary or advisable acts to complete the Drag-Along Sale, including, without limitation, executing any and all documents (including instruments of transfers) on behalf of each Dragged Holder.
(d) In any Drag-Along Sale approved by the Drag Holders, each Drag Holder shall severally, not jointly, join on a pro rata basis (based on the relative proceeds received in such transaction) in any indemnification obligations that are part of the terms and conditions of such Drag-Along Sale but only up to the net proceeds paid to such Drag Holder. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, no such Drag Holder who is not an employee, officer or controlling shareholder of a Group Company shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than with respect to itself (including due authorization, title to shares and enforceability of applicable agreements).
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, any assignee or transferee who acquires any Share of the Company shall be bound by this Section 9.2 as if they were a Party hereunder, by delivering and executing an Adherence Agreement as provided in Exhibit B.
Other Shares The registration statement filed pursuant to the request of the Initiating Holders may, subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(e), include Other Shares, and may include securities of the Company being sold for the account of the Company.
