For the avoidance of doubt, each Observer shall be entitled at any time to disclaim any such entitlement and thereafter (until such Observer notifies the Company in writing that such disclaimer has been withdrawn), such Observer shall not receive any such notices, documents or materials, or to attend and speak at such meetings. In no event shall any Observer: (i) be deemed to be a member of the Board or any committee thereof; or (ii) have the right to vote on any matter under consideration by the Board or any committee thereof or otherwise have any power to cause the Company to take, or not to take, any action.

10
2.11.2 The Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company or any of its subsidiaries in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity of any Relevant Person.
2.11.3 To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Section 2.11 to be a breach of fiduciary duty to the Company (including any of its subsidiaries) or its shareholders, the Company, on behalf of itself and each of its subsidiaries, hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company or any of its subsidiaries may have for such activities.

Article III
PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS
Section 3.1. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to allow each Holder to purchase its pro rata portion (based on the number of voting Equity Securities owned by such Holder on a primary basis and the number of voting Equity Securities of the Company outstanding on a primary basis immediately prior to an issuance) of any new Equity Securities (other than any Excluded Securities) that the Company may from time to time propose to issue or sell during the Term in public offerings or private placements, subject to any limitations arising under securities or other applicable Law. Any such purchases to be effected by a Holder shall be on the same terms and conditions as such public offering or private placement, as applicable. The Company may undertake such commercially reasonable efforts by notifying each Holder of the proposed financing transaction or instructing its underwriters, investment bankers or other financial advisors (as applicable) to do so no later than thirty (30) days prior to the contemplated date of such public offering or private placement. If such participation is in the form of a public offering, each Holder understands and acknowledges that the Company and/or its underwriters or investment bankers may utilize customary “wall-cross” procedures to notify each Holder of such opportunity to participate in such offering, or alternatively notify each Holder after initiation of such offering has been publicly disclosed. If such offering is in the form of a private placement, the Company may notify each Holder prior to the public disclosure of such private placement utilizing customary “wall-cross” procedures of such opportunity to participate in such private placement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, a Holder is not provided the opportunity to participate in a public offering or private placements referenced in this Section 3.1, the Company will arrange, as promptly as possible thereafter, to permit such Holder to participate in a separate and subsequent private placement on substantially the same terms designed to maintain such Holder’s pro rata ownership as described in this Section 3.1.

The offer of each Tag-along Shareholder set forth in a Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, shall be binding on such Tag-along Shareholder. Each Tag-along Shareholder that timely delivers a Tag-along Notice (a “Tag-along Seller”) shall have the right to transfer in a transfer subject to this Section 4.1 up to the number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of Class A ordinary shares owned by the Tag-along Seller and (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Class A ordinary shares proposed to be sold by the Selling Shareholder in the Tag-along Sale, and (B) the denominator of which is equal to the number of Class A ordinary shares owned by the Selling Shareholder.
12
4.1.4 Each Tag-along Shareholder who does not deliver a Tag-along Notice in compliance with Section 4.1.3 above shall be deemed to have waived all of such Tag-along Shareholder’s rights to participate in such transfer, and the Selling Shareholder shall (subject to the rights of any Tag-along Seller) thereafter be free to transfer to the Proposed Transferee its Class A ordinary shares at a per share price that is no greater than the per share price set forth in the Sale Notice and on other same terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to the Selling Shareholder than those set forth in the Sale Notice without any further obligation to the non-accepting Tag-along Shareholders.
4.1.5 Each Tag-along Seller shall receive the same consideration per share as the Selling Shareholder after deduction of such Tag-along Seller’s proportionate share of the related expenses in accordance with Section 4.1.7 below.
4.1.6 Each Tag-along Seller shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Selling Shareholders makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to the Selling Shareholder, the Tag-along Seller shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided, that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by the Selling Shareholder and each Tag-along Seller severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations and warranties shall be pro rata based on the consideration received by the Selling Shareholder and each Tag-along Seller, in each case in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by the Selling Shareholder and each such Tag-along Seller in connection with any Tag-along Sale.
4.1.7 The fees and expenses (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any recoverable value added (or similar) tax) of the Selling Shareholder incurred in connection with a Tag-along Sale and for the benefit of all Holders as determined in good faith by the Board (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Holders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Proposed Transferee, shall be shared by all the Holders participating in the Tag-along Sale on a pro rata basis, based on the aggregate consideration received by each such Holder; provided, that no Holder shall be obligated to make or reimburse any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Tag-along Sale.
4.1.8 Each Tag-along Seller shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by the Selling Shareholder.
4.1.9 The Selling Shareholder shall have thirty (30) days following the expiration of the Tag-along Period in which to transfer the Class A ordinary shares described in the Sale Notice and the shares to be sold by the Tag-along Sellers, on the terms set forth in the Sale Notice (which such 30-day period may be extended for a reasonable time to the extent reasonably necessary to obtain any governmental or regulatory approvals). If at the end of such 30-day period, the Selling Shareholder has not completed such transfer, the Selling Shareholder may not then effect a transfer of Class A ordinary shares subject to this Section 4.1 without again fully complying with the provisions of this Section 4.1.
13
4.1.10 If the Selling Shareholder transfers to the Proposed Transferee any of its Class A ordinary shares in breach of this Section 4.1, then each Tag-along Shareholder shall have the right to transfer to the Selling Shareholder, and the Selling Shareholder undertakes to purchase from each Tag-along Shareholder, the number of Class A ordinary shares that such Tag-along Shareholder would have had the right to transfer to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 4.1, for a per share amount and form of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the Proposed Transferee bought such Class A ordinary shares from the Selling Shareholder, but without indemnity being granted by any Tag-along Shareholder to the Selling Shareholder; provided that, nothing contained in this Section 4.1 shall preclude any Holder from seeking alternative remedies against such Selling Shareholder as a result of its breach of this Section 4.1.
Article V
CONFIDENTIALITY
Section 5.1. Confidentiality. Each Holder hereby agrees that all Confidential Information with respect to the Company shall be kept confidential by it and shall not be disclosed by it in any manner whatsoever, except as permitted herein; provided, however, that without limiting any other confidentiality obligations to which any Holder may be subject, this Section 5.1 shall not apply to any Holder who is an employee or officer of the Company. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any additional confidentiality obligations to the Company or its Affiliates to which an Observer or any Holder or Shareholder Designee may be bound, Confidential Information received by each Holder or Shareholder Designee may be disclosed:
(a) with respect to any Shareholder Designee, to such Shareholder Designee’s designating Holder and its directors, officers, employees and authorized representatives (including attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) (such Persons, collectively, with respect to any Person, such Person’s “Representatives”);
(b) with respect to any Holder, to its Affiliates or its or their respective Representatives; provided such Representatives owe a contractual or other duty of confidentiality to such Holder or any of its Affiliates with respect to any Confidential Information so disclosed;
(c) with respect to any Holder, to any other Holder or any of its Affiliates; provided that, such other Holder is also subject to this Section 5.1;
(d) by each Shareholder Designee, Xxxxxx and each of its Representatives, to the extent the Company consents in writing; and
(e) to the extent required by Law or the rules of any stock exchange upon which such Holder’s or any of its Affiliates’ securities are listed or traded or as requested or required by any Governmental Authority; provided, however, that, prior to making such a disclosure, such Person has, to the extent practicable and permitted by Law, consulted with the Company regarding the scope, timing and contents of such disclosure.
14
Article VI
TERMINATION
Section 6.1. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate (i) upon the agreement of the Holders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, acting together and by written instrument; provided that, this Agreement may not be terminated with respect to any Holder without such Holder’s written consent if such termination as described in this clause (i) of Section 6.1 would materially adversely affect such Holder, (ii) with respect to a Holder, upon the date on which such Holder no longer Beneficially Owns more than fifteen percent (15%) in number of Class A ordinary shares Beneficially Owned by such Holder as of the Closing, and (iii) upon a Change of Control of the Company.

Section 7.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State (and, in respect of the fiduciary duties of the members of the board of directors of the Company, the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands). All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, however, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The parties hereto hereby (i) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (ii) agree not to commence any action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (1) the action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such action is improper or (2) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.
Section 7.7. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.7.
Section 7.8. Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent 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. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, use of the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa, and the definitions of terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. The words “includes” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular section or article in which such words appear, the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” Any reference to a law shall include any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall mean such law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References herein to any contract (including this Agreement) mean such contract as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.
16
Section 7.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 7.10. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any Law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
Section 7.11. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
Section 7.12. Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed by the Company and Holders of a majority of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares, provided that no amendment may adversely affect a Holder relative to other Holders without such Holder’s consent. Any amendment or waiver must specifically reference this Agreement, specify the provision(s) hereof that it is intended to amend or waive and further specify that it is intended to amend or waive such provision(s).
Section 7.13. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.
