• Rule 462(b) Registration Statement In the event that a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement is filed in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission on the date of this Agreement and shall have become effective automatically upon such filing.

• Additional Registration Statements Until the Applicable Date (as defined below) and at any time thereafter while any Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use or any Current Public Information Failure (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) exists, the Company shall not file a registration statement or an offering statement under the 1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Registrable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or such supplements or amendments to registration statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available and not with respect to any Subsequent Placement)). “Applicable Date” means the earlier of (x) the first date on which the resale by the Buyers of all the Registrable Securities required to be filed on the initial Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC (and each prospectus contained therein is available for use on such date) or (y) the first date on which all of the Registrable Securities are eligible to be resold by the Buyers pursuant to Rule 144 (or, if a Current Public Information Failure has occurred and is continuing, such later date after which the Company has cured such Current Public Information Failure).

• Additional Registration Statement To the extent that the Registration Statement is not available for the sales of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall file a new registration statement with respect to any additional shares of Common Stock necessary to complete such sales of the Shares and shall cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. After the effectiveness of any such registration statement, all references to “Registration Statement” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such new registration statement, including all documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, and all references to “Base Prospectus” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the final form of prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in any such registration statement at the time such registration statement became effective.

• Preparation of Prospectus and Registration Statement The Partnership will advise the Representatives promptly and, if requested by the Representatives, will confirm such advice in writing: (i) of any request by the Commission for amendment of or a supplement to the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the Units for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) within the period of time referred to in paragraph (e) below, of any change in the condition (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations of the Plains Entities, taken as a whole, or of the happening of any event that makes any statement of a material fact made in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) untrue or that requires the making of any additions to or changes in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) in order to state a material fact required by the Securities Act or the regulations thereunder to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of any Preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which any such statements were made) not misleading, or of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectus (as then amended or supplemented) to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law. If at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Partnership will make every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible time.

• Filing Registration Statement The Company shall use its best efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which the Company then qualifies or which counsel for the Company shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its best efforts to keep it effective for the period required by Section 3.1.3; provided, however, that the Company shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to thirty (30) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any demand registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if the Company shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the President or Chairman of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time; provided further, however, that the Company shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding proviso more than once in any 365-day period in respect of a Demand Registration hereunder.

Each of the Company, SpinCo, Parent and Merger Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statements filed with the SEC become effective under the 1933 Act on or before February 14, 2019. Each of Parent and SpinCo and the Company shall also take any action required to be taken under any applicable state securities laws in connection with, in the case of Parent, the Parent Share Issuance and, in the case of the Company, the issuance and distribution of the SpinCo Common Stock in the Distribution. The parties hereto shall cooperate in preparing and filing with the SEC the Registration Statements and any necessary amendments or supplements thereto. Parent and Merger Sub shall furnish all information concerning Parent and its Subsidiaries, and the Company and SpinCo shall furnish all information concerning the Company, SpinCo, the Tiger Business and the Transferred Subsidiaries, as may be reasonably requested by the other parties hereto in connection with the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statements or the prospectus contained therein, as applicable, and any necessary amendments or supplements thereto. None of the Registration Statements or prospectus contained therein, as applicable, or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be filed or mailed to stockholders without the written consent of all of the parties hereto (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as required by Applicable Law. Following the date hereof, if doing so would not delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (except for any delay that would not, in the aggregate, result in a delay of Closing by more than three Business Days), the Company may elect for SpinCo to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form 10 in lieu of the registration statement on Form S-1 described above (and if the Company makes such an election, the term “SpinCo Registration Statement” shall refer to such Form 10 (and not the SpinCo Form S-1) for all purposes hereunder). (b) Parent and the Company, as applicable, shall advise the other promptly after receiving oral or written notice of (i) the time when a Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment to a Registration Statement has been filed, (ii) the issuance of any stop order, (iii) the suspension of the qualification for offering or sale in any jurisdiction of the Parent Common Stock issuable in connection with the Merger or the SpinCo Common Stock issuable in connection with the Distribution, or (iv) any oral or written request by the SEC for amendment of a Registration Statement or SEC comments thereon or requests by the SEC for additional information. Parent and the Company shall promptly provide each other with copies of any written communication from the SEC and convey to each other summaries of any oral communications with the SEC, in each case, with respect to the Registration Statements and shall cooperate to prepare appropriate responses thereto (and will provide each other with copies of any such responses given to the SEC) and make such modifications to the Registration Statements as shall be reasonably appropriate. (c) If, at any time prior to the Effective Time, any event or circumstance shall be discovered by a party hereto that should be set forth in an amendment or a supplement to a Registration Statement so that any such document would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, such party shall promptly inform the other parties hereto and the parties hereto shall cause an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information to be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, disseminated to stockholders. (d) In connection with the filing of the Registration Statements and other SEC filings contemplated hereby, each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) cooperate with the other to prepare pro forma financial statements that comply with the rules and regulations of the SEC to the extent required for such filings, including the requirements of Regulation S-X and (ii) provide and make reasonably available upon reasonable notice the senior management employees of the Company or Parent, as the case may be, to discuss the materials prepared and delivered pursuant to this Section 8.02(d).” 19. Section 8.07. Section 8.07 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirely to read as follows: (a) Immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall, or shall cause SpinCo to, deliver to Parent (i) a certificate from SpinCo, dated as of the Closing Date and prepared in accordance with Treasury Regulations sections 1.897-2(h) and 1.1445-2(c)(3), stating that equity interests in SpinCo are not “United States real property interests,” together with (ii) notice of such certificate to the IRS in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.897-2(h) (which notice shall be mailed to the IRS by SpinCo following the Closing in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.897-2(h)), in case of clause (i) and (ii), in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent. (b) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, this Agreement shall not govern Tax matters (including any administrative, procedural and related matters thereto), which shall be exclusively governed by the Tax Matters Agreement.”

The Company has complied with each request (if any) from the Commission for additional information.

• Resale Registration Statement (a) Within 45 days after the Effective Time, Parent shall file with the SEC, and thereafter use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have declared effective as soon as practicable, a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (or if Parent is not eligible to use Form S-3, any other form that Parent is eligible to use) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act covering the resale (i) by former affiliates of the Company as set forth in Section 5.7(d) of the Company Disclosure Letter including any former affiliates of the Company who may following the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will be current affiliates of Parent (the “Affiliate Stockholders”) of shares of Parent Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement as consideration and (ii) by holders of Company Warrants (“Company Warrant Holders”) of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Company Warrants or warrants issued by Parent in exchange therefor (collectively, the “Registrable Shares”). In its discretion, Parent will be permitted to register any other shares for resale by other eligible selling stockholders using the Shelf Registration Statement. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and usable for the resale of the Registrable Shares covered thereby for a period commencing on the date on which the SEC declares such Shelf Registration Statement effective and ending on the earlier of (x) the date upon which all of the Registrable Shares first become eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 145 under the Securities Act without restriction or (y) the first date upon which all of the Registrable Shares covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement. (b) Parent may, by written notice to the Affiliate Stockholders and Company Warrant Holders, (i) delay the filing or effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement for up to thirty (30) days, or for such longer period, as a result of restraints or restrictions under applicable Law or (ii) suspend the Shelf Registration Statement after effectiveness and require that the Affiliate Stockholders and Company Warrant Holders immediately cease sales of shares pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (A) for a period of not more than thirty (30) consecutive days or seventy-five (75) days in the aggregate during any twelve (12) consecutive calendar months, in the event that Parent files a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-8 or its successor form) with the SEC for a then pending public offering of its securities or (B) following the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement, for no longer than twenty (20) consecutive trading days if an event has occurred or Parent has entered into a transaction which Parent determines in good faith must be disclosed in order for Parent to comply with the public disclosure requirements imposed on Parent under the Securities Act in connection with the Resale Registration Statement, provided, that in respect of all such events or occurrences Parent shall not suspend the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement for more than forty (40) trading days in the aggregate in any twelve (12) consecutive calendar months.

• The Registration Statement (a) As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, the Parties shall prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of the Pubco Securities to be issued under this Agreement to the holders of Purchaser Securities and Company Securities at the Closing Date, which Registration Statement will also contain a proxy statement of Purchaser (as amended, the “Proxy Statement”) for the purpose of soliciting proxies from Purchaser shareholders for the matters to be acted upon at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) and providing the Public Shareholders an opportunity in accordance with Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and the IPO Prospectus to have their Purchaser Ordinary Shares redeemed (the “Redemption”) in conjunction with the shareholder vote on the Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters. The Proxy Statement shall be used to solicit proxies from Purchaser shareholders to vote, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, in favor of resolutions approving this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated as part of the Business Combination, the Domestication, the adoption and approval of a new equity incentive plan for Pubco in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company, Pubco and Purchaser (the “Pubco Equity Plan”), which will provide that the total awards under such Pubco Equity Plan will be a number of Pubco Common Stock equal to twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate number of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, and such other matters as the Company, Pubco and Purchaser shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions (the “Purchaser Shareholder Approval Matters”), and the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting, if necessary or desirable in the reasonable determination of Purchaser. If on the date for which the Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled, Purchaser has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of shares to obtain the Required Shareholder Approval, whether or not a quorum is present, Purchaser may make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the Extraordinary General Meeting. In connection with the Registration Statement, Purchaser, the Company and Pubco will file with the SEC financial and other information about the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with applicable Law and applicable proxy solicitation and registration statement rules set forth in Purchaser’s Organizational Documents, the Companies Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq and Form S-4. Purchaser and Pubco shall cooperate and provide the Company (and its counsel) with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto prior to filing the same with the SEC. The Company shall provide Purchaser and Pubco with such information concerning the Company and its shareholders, officers, directors, employees, assets, Liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise), business and operations that may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Registration Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, which information provided by the Company shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. The information included in the Registration Statement with respect to Purchaser and Pubco shall be true and correct and not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading. (b) Purchaser and Pubco shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption. Each of Purchaser, Pubco and the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to the Company, Pubco, Purchaser, and their respective Representatives in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information is determined to have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. Purchaser and Pubco shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and cause the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC. (c) Purchaser, the Company and Pubco, shall promptly respond to any SEC comments on the Registration Statement and shall otherwise use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement to “clear” comments from the SEC and be declared effective. Purchaser and Pubco shall provide the Company with copies of any written comments, and shall inform the Company of any oral comments, that Purchaser, Pubco or their respective Representatives receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Registration Statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption promptly after the receipt of such comments and shall give the Company a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to review and comment on any proposed written or oral responses to such comments. (d) As soon as practicable following the Registration Statement “clearing” comments from the SEC and being declared effective, Purchaser and Pubco shall distribute the Proxy Statement to Purchaser’s shareholders and, pursuant thereto, shall call the Extraordinary General Meeting in accordance with the Companies Act for a date no later than thirty (30) days following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. (e) Purchaser and Pubco shall comply with all applicable Laws, any applicable rules and regulations of Nasdaq, Purchaser’s Organizational Documents and this Agreement in the preparation, filing and distribution of the Registration Statement, any solicitation of proxies thereunder, the calling and holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Redemption.
