(a) Notwithstanding Section 4, the Company shall provide MGU HoldCo with notice of its election to redeem or repurchase any Common Shares or take any other action that might result in MGU HoldCo holding more than 9.9% of the Common Shares (each, a “Proposed Repurchase”) in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior to such Proposed Repurchase in order to enable MGU HoldCo to determine whether MGU HoldCo (i) would become consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes, (ii) would hold more than 9.9% of the Common Shares and/or (iii) would become a controller of any Subsidiaries which are regulated pursuant to applicable regulatory law, in each case, as a result of such Proposed Repurchase.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4, if MGU HoldCo, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that a Proposed Repurchase would cause MGU HoldCo to (i) become consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes, (ii) hold more than 9.9% of the Common Shares and/or (iii) to become a controller of any Subsidiaries which are regulated pursuant to applicable regulatory law, MGU HoldCo shall have the right, at its election, to (x) have a sufficient portion of its Common Shares repurchased by the Company, on the same terms as the Proposed Repurchase, so as to prevent MGU HoldCo from (i) becoming consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes, (ii) holding more than 9.9% of the Common Shares and/or (iii) becoming a controller of any Subsidiaries which are regulated pursuant to applicable regulatory law, in each case, as a result of the Proposed Repurchase as determined by MGU HoldCo acting reasonably and in good faith or (y) undertake a Permitted Transfer in respect of a sufficient portion of its Common Shares so as to prevent MGU HoldCo from (i) becoming consolidated with the Company for accounting purposes, (ii) holding more than 9.9% of the Common Shares and/or (iii) becoming a controller of any Subsidiaries which are regulated pursuant to applicable regulatory law, in each case, as a result of the Proposed Repurchase as determined by MGU HoldCo acting reasonably and in good faith (in which case, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with MGU HoldCo in order to allow such Permitted Transfer to be effected as quickly as reasonable practicable) (the “Proposed Transfer”). If the Company, acting reasonably and in good faith, determines that such Proposed Transfer would result in an adverse legal, regulatory or tax impact to the Company, MGU HoldCo and the Company agree to:
(i) jointly discuss, in good faith, such adverse legal, regulatory or tax impact; and
(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to seek to structure such Proposed Transfer in a way which would not result in such adverse legal, regulatory or tax impact to the Company.

7.02 MGU Holdco Allocation Rights.
(a) The Company hereby grants to MGU HoldCo the right to purchase an amount up to its “pro rata share” on a fully diluted as converted basis of all New Company Securities that the Company may, from time to time, propose to issue, offer or sell, in order to permit MGU HoldCo to maintain its then-current percentage ownership of the Company’s equity capital (the “MGU HoldCo Pro-Rata Allocation Right”). The “pro rata share” for purposes of this Section 7.02(a) with respect to MGU HoldCo shall be expressed as a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of Common Shares held by MGU HoldCo on the date of the Company’s written notice pursuant to Section 7.02(c) hereof, and (ii) the denominator of which is the number of Common Shares outstanding on the date of the Company’s written notice pursuant to Section 7.02(c) hereof, assuming for this purpose conversion or exercise of all outstanding Derivative Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, MGU HoldCo and its Shareholder Affiliate Transferees may assign their respective allocation rights pursuant to this Section 7.02 among one another.
(b) For purposes of this Section 7.02 the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(i) “New Company Securities” means (A) any Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company, whether now authorized or not, issued after the IPO Effective Date and (B) any options, warrants, convertible notes, securities of any type or similar rights issued after the IPO Effective Date that are or may become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or that carry rights to subscribe for, any Common Shares or other equity securities of the Company (each of the foregoing reference in such clause (B), a “Derivative Security”); provided, however, that the term “New Company Securities” does not include (1) securities issued as consideration to effect the acquisition of another entity by the Company pursuant to a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, exchange of shares, the purchase of all or substantially all of the assets, or otherwise, approved by the Board; (2) any Common Shares, restricted shares, options, warrants or any other equity (or equity based security) issued to any directors or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to any incentive stock plan or other form of incentive compensation approved by the Board or by the compensation committee thereof and any Common Shares issued upon the exercise thereof, to the extent the aggregate amount of securities so issued does not exceed 10% of the Fully Diluted Share Capital as of the first anniversary of the IPO Effective Date (it being agreed that any securities issued or issuable under the terms of any such incentive stock plan as in effect on the IPO Effective Date shall not count towards the foregoing 10% cap); (3) Common Shares issued upon the exercise of or conversion of any Derivative Security that is outstanding on the IPO Effective Date; (4) Common Shares or other securities issued upon the exercise or conversion of any Derivative Security as to which an MGU HoldCo New Issue Notice (as defined below) has already been made; (5) Common Shares or other capital stock issued to the Company’s Shareholders upon any stock split, stock dividend, combination or other similar event with respect to the Common Shares or other capital stock; (6) any Common Shares issued or issuable upon the conversion of any Preference Shares issued after June 9, 2015 and on or prior to December 31, 2015 at a price equal to or greater than $10 per Common Share or $10,000 per Preference Share; (7) preferred shares of the Company which are not convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares, preferred shares of the Company which become convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Shares solely in connection with a change of control of the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Preference Shares) and any Common Shares issued or issuable upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any such preferred shares; or (8) New Senior Preferred Securities (as defined below).
- 13 -
(ii) “New Senior Preferred Securities” means (1) any New Company Security ranking on par with or senior to the Preference Shares in liquidation preference, voting or dividends, or (2) any debt securities, whether senior or subordinated, that constitute Derivative Securities.
(c) In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance, offering or sale of New Company Securities (the “Securities Transaction”), the Company will, as soon as reasonably practicable and permissible under applicable securities law prior to the date of the Securities Transaction, give MGU HoldCo written notice which shall describe (i) the type and amount of New Company Securities being issued, offered or sold in the Securities Transaction and (ii) the other material terms and conditions upon which the Company proposes to issue, offer or sell New Company Securities, including the approximate timetable for the Securities Transaction (an “MGU HoldCo New Issue Notice”).
(d) Upon receipt of an MGU HoldCo New Issue Notice by MGU HoldCo, MGU HoldCo may deliver to the Company a notice of its election to exercise the MGU HoldCo Pro-Rata Allocation Right within five (5) Business Days of receipt by MGU HoldCo of the MGU HoldCo New Issue Notice (an “MGU HoldCo Notice of Acceptance”). The acquisition by MGU HoldCo and sale by the Company of any New Company Securities following the receipt by the Company of an MGU HoldCo Notice of Acceptance is subject in all cases to (i) preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and MGU HoldCo of definitive documentation relating to the acquisition of such New Company Securities in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to MGU HoldCo and the Company, (ii) the Board’s determination that such acquisition would not result in any adverse tax, regulatory or legal consequences to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, any shareholders of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (iii) applicable law and NYSE listing standards and (iv) the final terms, conditions and timetable of the Securities Transaction, it being acknowledged that MGU HoldCo shall only be entitled to purchase its pro rata share of New Company Securities that are issued, offered or sold pursuant to the Securities Transaction.
(e) The Company shall be under no obligation to consummate any proposed sale of New Company Securities to MGU HoldCo, nor shall there be any liability on the part of the Company to MGU HoldCo, if any Securities Transaction is not consummated for whatever reason and, accordingly, the Company does not consummate a proposed sale of New Company Securities, whether or not the Company shall have delivered a notice in respect thereof to MGU HoldCo.
7.03 Corporate Opportunities.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and except as otherwise provided below, no Principal Shareholder or its Affiliates or Sponsor Directors shall be obligated to refer or present any particular Corporate Opportunity (as defined below) to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries even if such Corporate Opportunity is of a character that, if referred or presented to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, could be taken by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any such Principal Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or Sponsor Directors, respectively, shall have the right to take for its own account (individually or as a partner, investor, member, participant or fiduciary) or to recommend to others such particular opportunity.
- 14 -
(b) In the event that (i) a Sponsor Director acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other matter that may be a corporate or business opportunity for both the Company and the Principal Shareholder(s) that nominated for election to the Board such Sponsor Director or any Affiliate or other related party of such Principal Shareholder(s) or (ii) the MGU HoldCo Director acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other matter that may be a corporate or business opportunity for both the Company and MGU HoldCo, as applicable, or any of their Affiliates or other related parties (a “Corporate Opportunity”), such Sponsor Director or MGU HoldCo Director shall have fully satisfied and fulfilled the fiduciary duty of such Director to the Company with respect to such Corporate Opportunity, if such Director acts in a manner consistent with the following policy: A Corporate Opportunity offered to any person who is a Director but not an officer of the Company and who is a director, officer, employee, partner, owner, member, shareholder, appointee or nominee of a Principal Shareholder or MGU HoldCo Director (as applicable) or any of their respective Affiliates or other related parties shall belong to the Company only if such Corporate Opportunity is expressly offered to such Person in writing in his or her capacity as a Director, and otherwise shall belong to such Principal Shareholder, MGU HoldCo or one of their respective Affiliates (as applicable).
Section 8. Release of Obligations.
From the IPO Effective Date, the Company and the Shareholders acknowledge and agree that the Original CSA is amended and restated on the terms of this Agreement with just the Company and the Shareholders as ongoing parties and that the Other Shareholders shall have no rights or obligations under this Agreement. The Other Shareholders shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 8 only.
Section 9. Miscellaneous.
9.01 Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departure from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company (following approval by the Board of any such amendment, modification or supplement) has obtained the prior written consent of (i) each Principal Shareholder that has the right to designate a Nominee for election to the Board or that has a Director then serving on the Board and (ii) MGU HoldCo.
9.02 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of its subject matters and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof. Except as expressly contemplated hereby, there are no third party beneficiaries having rights under or with respect to this Agreement.
9.03 Term and Termination.

- 17 -
(b) THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO OR ANY DEALINGS AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all encompassing of any and all action that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of the transactions contemplated hereby, including, contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims. The parties each acknowledge that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into a business relationship and that they will continue to rely on the waiver in their related future dealings. Each party further represents and warrants that it has reviewed this waiver with its legal counsel, and that each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED HEREIN, THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER WILL APPLY TO ANY AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING HERETO.

If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state, local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word “including” means “including without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
- 18 -
9.12 Severability. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.
