Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Forbearance Agreement.
In consideration of the Company’s agreement to enter into the Forbearance Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, effective as of the Effective Date, the undersigned hereby agrees, solely for the benefit of the Company that, without the prior written consent of the Company, the undersigned will not, during Forbearance Period (the “Lock-Up Period”), directly or indirectly, unless otherwise provided herein, (a) offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, solicit offers to purchase, grant any call option or purchase any put option, make any Short Sale (as defined below), pledge, encumber, assign, borrow or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Pre-Delivered Shares (excluding any Applied Pre-Delivery Shares) (the “Locked Shares”) or (b) enter into any hedge, swap or other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Locked Shares (each a “Transfer”), whether any such transaction described in clause (a) or (b) is to be settled by delivery of Ordinary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise;. “Short Sales” means all “short sales” as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the 1934 Act (as defined below) (but shall not be deemed to include (x) any sale of Ordinary Shares then held by the Investor that do not consist of Locked Shares or (y) the location and/or reservation of borrowable Ordinary Shares). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Locked Shares may be pledged in connection with a bona fide margin account or other loan or financing arrangement secured by the Locked Shares and such pledge of the Locked Shares shall not be deemed to be prohibited by this Lock-Up Agreement (a “Bona-Fide Margin Pledge”); provided, that the subsequent transfer of such Locked Shares pursuant to such Bona-Fide Margin Pledge would be deemed to violate the terms and conditions of this Lock-Up Agreement.

In the event that prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares held in the brokerage account of such Investor is less than the Locked Shares, the undersigned shall within one (1) Business Day of the Company’s written request, return the Locked Shares to the Company for cancellation by directing the Investor’s broker to initiate a DWAC withdrawal of the Pre-Delivery Shares and delivering duly executed cancellation instructions in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A along with the original certificates (if any) evidencing the Pre-Delivery Shares, original stock power with medallion guaranteed and corporate resolution approving such cancellation to the Company’s Transfer Agent.
