The Company and the Noteholders are sometimes collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

WHEREAS, each Noteholder currently is the record and beneficial owner of Convertible Senior Notes due April 1, 2021 issued by the Company pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 26, 2016, and identified on such Noteholder’s applicable Schedule A (the “Notes”);

WHEREAS, each Noteholder wishes to exchange a portion of such Noteholder’s Notes (such portion, the “Exchanged Notes”) for the number of ordinary shares of the Company’s common stock, par value €0.025 per ordinary share (the “Common Stock”), set forth on such Noteholder’s applicable Schedule A (the aggregate amount of such Common Stock of such Noteholder being referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Shares”);

WHEREAS, each Noteholder has agreed to immediately sell (the “Sale”) all of the Exchange Shares such Noteholder receives to Image Frame Investment (HK) Limited (“Tencent”), and Tencent has agreed to purchase all of such Exchange Shares, for $5,000 per ordinary share immediately following the Closing pursuant to that certain Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among, each Noteholder and Tencent (the “Purchase Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Company wishes to issue the Exchange Shares to the Noteholders in exchange for the Exchanged Notes upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements and understandings herein contained, the Parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Exchanges of Notes.

1.1 The Exchanges. On and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined below), each Noteholder will deliver such Noteholder’s Notes referred to on such Noteholder’s applicable Schedule A to the Company and the Company will immediately cancel such Exchanged Notes and, in exchange and as full consideration for such Exchanged Notes, issue to such Noteholder the Exchange Shares as referenced on such Noteholder’s applicable Schedule A (the “Transactions”); provided that in the event the Sale does not occur immediately following, and on the same day as, the consummation of the Transactions, the Transactions shall automatically be fully rescinded and deemed to have not occurred and the Parties shall take all necessary action to evidence the rescission of the Transactions such that the Exchanged Notes shall be reinstated (as if never cancelled) and returned to the Noteholders and the Noteholders shall return the Shares to the Company in exchange therefor.

1.3 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place on December 15, 2017, or such other date, if any, as is mutually agreed to by the Parties (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date:
