Section 3.12 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

Section 3.13 Jurisdiction.

(a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, this Agreement (including its existence, validity, interpretation, breach, termination or enforcement as well as all matters relating to its negotiation, including pre contractual liability) (each a “Dispute”) shall be referred to and finally settled by arbitration administered by the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC Court”) in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”) then in effect, except as they may be modified in this Agreement or by agreement of the parties.

(b) The arbitration shall be conducted by three arbitrators. To the extent the Dispute involves two parties to this Agreement, each party subject to the Dispute shall nominate an

arbitrator within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Request for Arbitration and the two arbitrators so appointed shall nominate the third arbitrator, who shall be the president of the arbitral tribunal, within thirty (30) days of their appointment. Any arbitrator not nominated within the applicable time limits shall be appointed by the ICC Court.

(d) By agreeing to arbitration, the parties do not intend to deprive any court of competent jurisdiction of its ability to issue any form of provisional remedy, including a preliminary injunction or attachment in aid of the arbitration, or order any interim or conservatory measure. A request for such provisional remedy or interim or conservatory measure by a party to a court shall not be deemed a waiver of this agreement to arbitrate. The parties hereby consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in The City of New York with respect to applications for provisional remedies or interim or conservatory measures.

(e) The award rendered by the arbitral tribunal, which shall cover which party shall bear the costs of the arbitration, shall be final and binding on the parties. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

(f) The parties shall maintain strict confidentiality with respect to all aspects of the arbitration and shall not disclose the fact, conduct or outcome of the arbitration to any nonparties or non-participants, except to the extent required by law, court order or to the extent necessary to recognize, confirm or enforce the final award in the arbitration, enforce provisions of this arbitration clause, or to seek provisional remedies from a court of competent jurisdiction, without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration.

(g) The parties agree to opt out of the ICC Rules’ Expedited Procedure provisions.

(h) The parties agree that any arbitral tribunal appointed hereunder may exercise jurisdiction with respect to both this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. The parties consent to the consolidation of arbitrations commenced hereunder and/or under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Purchase Agreement as follows. If two or more arbitrations are commenced hereunder and/or under the Registration Rights Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, any party named as claimant or respondent in any of these arbitrations may petition any arbitral tribunal appointed in these arbitrations for an order that the several arbitrations be consolidated in a single arbitration before that arbitral tribunal (a “Consolidation Order”). In deciding whether to make such a Consolidation Order, that arbitral tribunal shall consider whether the several arbitrations raise common issues of law or fact and whether to consolidate the several arbitrations would serve the interests of justice and efficiency. If before a Consolidation Order is made by an arbitral tribunal with respect to another arbitration, arbitrators have already been appointed in that other arbitration, their appointment terminates upon the making of such Consolidation Order and they are deemed to be functus officio. In the event of two or more conflicting Consolidation Orders, the Consolidation Order that was made first in time shall prevail.

Section 3.14 Specific Performance. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it may be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them by this Agreement and that, in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved party may be irreparably damaged and may not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such party shall therefore be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which such party may be entitled at law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including specific performance, to enforce such obligations, without the posting of any bond, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

Section 3.15 Subsequent Acquisition of Shares. Any Company Shares acquired subsequent to the date hereof by the Shareholder shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Shareholder acquires Company Shares subsequent to the date hereof, the Shareholder shall not reacquire any rights previously lost under this Agreement as a result of a decrease in the amount of Company Shares beneficially owned by the Shareholder.
