respect to any Common Shares purchased by such employees under the Management Equity Plan, or any

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire for the Company to provide the registration rights set out
in this Agreement. Unless otherwise noted in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall
have the meanings set forth in Section 5.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows:
1. DEMAND REGISTRATIONS.
1.1. Requests for Registration. At any time prior to the Initial Public Offering, a
Majority Sponsor may initiate the registration of Common Shares to be sold in the Initial Public
Offering; provided such initiation shall require Majority Sponsor Approval. Subject to the
other provisions of Section 1, (a) during the first two (2) years after the Initial Public
Offering, a Majority Sponsor may initiate an unlimited number of registrations of all or part of
their Registrable Securities on Form F-1, Form S-1 or any similar or successor long-form
registration, or foreign equivalent (“Long-Form Registrations”), and, if available, an
unlimited number of registrations of all or part of their Registrable Securities on Form X-0, Xxxx
X-0, Form F-3 or Form S-3 or any similar or successor short-form registration, or foreign
equivalent (“Short-Form Registrations”); provided such initiation shall require
Majority Sponsor Approval, and (b) from and after the second anniversary of the Initial Public
Offering, each Majority Sponsor may (on behalf of itself and any Affiliate of it included in the
term Sponsor) initiate three (3) Long-Form Registrations and, if available, an unlimited number of
Short-Form Registrations; provided in each case that the aggregate gross offering price of
the Registrable Securities requested to be registered in any Demand Registration must equal at
least $50,000,000 in the case of any Long Form Registration and at least $20,000,000 in the case of
any Short Form Registration, or such lesser amount as shall be approved by Majority Sponsor
Approval.
1.2. Demand Notice. All requests for Demand Registrations shall be made by giving
written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”). Each Demand Notice shall specify the
approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered. Within ten days after
receipt of any such Demand Notice, the Company will give written notice of such requested
registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and, subject to Section 1.5, will
include in such registration (and in all related registrations and qualifications under blue sky
laws or in compliance with other registration requirements and in any related underwriting) all
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for
inclusion therein within 15 days after the delivery of the Company’s notice.
- 2 -
1.3. Demand Registration Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in
connection with any registration initiated as a Demand Registration, whether or not it has become
effective.
1.4. Short-Form Registrations. Demand Registrations will be Short-Form Registrations
whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short-form (unless the managing
underwriter(s) of such offering requests the Company to use a Long-Form Registration in order to
sell all of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold). After the Company has become subject
to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, the Company will use its reasonable
efforts to make Short-Form Registrations available for the sale of Registrable Securities. A
Majority Sponsor may, in connection with any Demand Registration requested by such holders that is
a Short-Form Registration, require the Company to file such Short-Form Registration with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with and pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities
Act (or any successor rule then in effect) including, if the Company is then eligible, as an
automatic shelf registration statement (any such Short-Form Registration, a “Shelf
Registration”).
1.5. Priority on Demand Registrations. The Company shall not include in any Demand
Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent
of the Majority Sponsors and the prior written consent of any Co-Investor that is unable to sell
all Registrable Securities it requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 1.2
hereof. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter(s)
advises the Company that in its opinion the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted
hereunder, other securities, requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of
Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, which can be sold therein without adversely
affecting the marketability of the offering, then the Company shall include in such registration
notwithstanding the initial sentence of this Section 1.5, (a) prior to the inclusion of any
securities that are not Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities requested to
be included in such offering that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s), can be sold
without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering, pro rata among the respective
holders thereof, including the Management Shareholders to the extent provided in the Management
Shareholder Agreement on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities owned by each such
holder, provided that if the number of securities that are Registrable Securities that are
included in such offering are less than 80% of the number of securities that are Registrable
Securities requested to be included in such offering, such offering shall not count for purposes of
calculating the number of Long-Form Registrations initiated by a Majority Sponsor, and (b) only
then, securities that are not Registrable Securities, if the managing underwriter(s) has advised
that such securities may be included.
1.6. Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The Company will not be obligated to
effect any Demand Registration within 90 days after the closing of a Public Offering (other than on
Form F-4, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form, but including the closing of an
underwritten distribution pursuant to a Shelf Registration). The Company may postpone for up to 30
days in the aggregate the filing (measured from the date of request for such Demand Registration)
or the effectiveness (measured from the first day the registration statement is no longer
effective) of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if and so long as the Company
determines that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have an
- 3 -
adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of the Subsidiaries to engage in
any material acquisition or disposition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business)
or any merger, consolidation, tender offer, registration or issuance of securities, financing or
other material transaction. The Company may not postpone a Demand Registration more than two (2)
times in any twelve-month period.
1.7. Selection of Underwriters. The Majority Sponsor(s) selling Registrable
Securities in a Demand Registration will have the right to select the underwriter or underwriters
to administer the offering, provided that such selection will be subject to the approval of
the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld.
1.8. Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that it is not a
party to, or otherwise subject to, any other agreement granting registration rights to any other
Person with respect to any equity securities of the Company, other than this Agreement and the
Management Shareholder Agreement. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not
grant to any Person the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the
Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities,
without Majority Sponsor Approval approving the issuance of such securities (such Majority Sponsor
Approval to treat the holders of Registrable Securities pro rata on the basis of the number of
Common Shares owned); provided that without such approval, subject to Section 6.1, (a) the
Company may grant rights to other Persons to participate in Demand Registrations and Piggyback
Registrations so long as such rights are subordinate to the rights of the holders of Registrable
Securities with respect to such Demand Registrations and Piggyback Registrations; and (b) the
Company may grant rights to other Persons to request registrations so long as the holders of
Registrable Securities are entitled to participate in any such registrations with such Persons and
the right of such Persons to participate in such registration are subordinate to the rights of the
holders of Registrable Securities to participate.
2. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS.
2.1. Right to Piggyback. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its equity
securities under the Securities Act or equivalent foreign securities laws (other than (a) in the
Initial Public Offering, (b) pursuant to a Demand Registration or (c) in connection with
registration on Form F-4, Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form or foreign
securities law equivalents) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration
of Registrable Securities (a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company will give prompt
written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a
registration and, subject to Sections 2.3 and 2.4 below, will include in such registration all
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for
inclusion therein within 15 days after the delivery of the Company’s notice. Each such Company
notice shall specify the approximate number of Company equity securities to be registered and the
anticipated per share price range for such offering.
2.2. Piggyback Expenses. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection
with all Piggyback Registrations, whether or not any such registration becomes effective.
- 4 -
2.3. Priority on Primary Registrations. For purposes of this Section 2, if a
Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company and the
managing underwriter(s) advises the Company that in its opinion the number of securities requested
to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without
adversely affecting the marketability of such offering, the Company will include in such
registration: (a) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell and (b) second, the
Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata
among the holders of such Registrable Securities, including the Management Shareholders to the
extent provided in the Management Shareholder Agreement, and holders of such other securities
permitted to have their securities included in such registration on the basis of the number of
shares owned by each such holder.
2.4. Priority on Secondary Registrations. For purposes of this Section 2, if a
Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of Company
securities (other than the holders of Registrable Securities), the demand rights of which were
approved by Majority Sponsor Approval pursuant to Section 1.8, and the managing underwriter(s)
advises the Company that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such
registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the
marketability of the offering, the Company will include in such registration: (a) first, the
securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting registration, (b) second,
securities requested by the Company to be included in such registration, and (c) third, Registrable
Securities and other securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the
holders of such Registrable Securities, including the Management Shareholders to the extent
provided in the Management Shareholder Agreement, and the holders of such other securities
permitted to have their securities included in such registration on the basis of the number of
shares owned by each such holder.
3. REGISTRATION GENERALLY.
3.1. Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have
requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
will use its best efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in
accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof and pursuant thereto the Company will as
expeditiously as reasonably practicable:
(a) prepare and (within 60 days after the end of the period within which
requests for inclusion in such registration may be given to the Company) file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with respect to such
Registrable Securities and thereafter use its best efforts to cause such
registration statement to become effective; provided that before filing a
registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the
Company will furnish to the counsel selected by the Majority Sponsors owning the
Registrable Securities to be included in any Demand Registration copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to review by such

documents to the Shareholders participating in such registration, give such
Shareholders an opportunity to comment on such
- 5 -
documents and keep such Shareholders reasonably informed in the registration
process;
(b) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such
amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in

to Section 3.3(b)) or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten

prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of
Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer, or (B) in the case of a Shelf
Registration, ending on the earlier of (I) the date on which all Registrable

untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will prepare and

statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of
the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;
(l) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any
related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Securities included in
such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its
reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order;

effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an
underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting
agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and
supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary
prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in the then-current customary

law, each holder of Registrable Securities shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge,

except as part of such underwritten registration, and in each case unless the underwriters
managing the registered public offering otherwise agree (in each case, such period, the
“Lock-Up Period”); provided, however, if (i) during the period that
begins on the date that is 15 calendar days plus three Business Days before the last day of
the Lock-Up Period and ends on the last day of the Lock-Up Period, the Company issues an
earnings release or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs, or

underwriters of the foregoing restrictions on transfers by the holders shall be granted to
all holders on equal terms.

or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company that are substantially similar to the

substantially similar securities, during (a) with respect to the Initial Public Offering,
the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of such
Initial Public Offering, (b) with respect to any other underwritten Demand Registration or
any underwritten Piggyback Registration in which Registrable Securities are included, the
seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of such
registration, and (c) upon notice from any holder(s) of Registrable Securities subject to a
Shelf Registration that such holder(s) intend to effect an underwritten distribution of
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration (upon receipt of which, the
Company will promptly notify all other holders of Registrable Securities of the date of the
commencement of such distribution), the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning
on the date of the commencement of such distribution, in each case except as part of such
underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form F-4, Form S-4 or Form S-8,
and in each case unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise
agree.
3.5. Current Public Information. At all times after the Company has filed a
registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of
either the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act, the Company will use its reasonable
efforts to timely file all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the
Securities Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder, and will take such further action as any holder or holders of Registrable
Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required to enable such holders to sell
Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under
the Securities Act (as such rule may be amended from time to time) or any similar rule or
regulation hereafter adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
4. INDEMNIFICATION.
4.1. Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities and, as
applicable, its officers, directors, trustees, employees, shareholders, holders of beneficial
interests, members, and general and limited partners (collectively, such holder’s
“Indemnitees”) and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the
Securities Act) against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, to
which such holder or any such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, equivalent
foreign securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, together with any documents incorporated therein by
reference or, (b) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such
holder and each of its Indemnitees for any legal or any other expenses, including any amounts paid
in any settlement
- 12 -
effected with the consent of the Company, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or
proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any
such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information
prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein. In connection with
an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and
directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act)
to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of
Registrable Securities.
4.2. Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection with any
registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such
holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company
reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement, prospectus or free
writing prospectus, and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and its Indemnitees against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several,
to which the Company or any such Indemnitee may become subject under the Securities Act, equivalent
foreign securities laws or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are
based upon (a) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the
registration statement, prospectus, preliminary prospectus or free writing prospectus or any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application, together with any documents
incorporated therein by reference or (b) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only
to the extent that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged
omission) is made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, preliminary prospectus or
free writing prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such
holder expressly for use therein, and such holder will reimburse the Company and each such
Indemnitee for any legal or any other expenses including any amounts paid in any settlement
effected with the consent of such holder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
liability, action or proceeding; provided, however, in no event shall the liability
of any selling holder hereunder (together with any liability of such holder under any similar
provision contained in any applicable underwriting agreement) be greater in amount than the amount
by which the total price at which the Registrable Securities of such holder were offered to the
public (less underwriters’ discount and commissions) exceeds the total amount of any damages which
such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission of such holder in connection with such offering.
4.3. Procedure. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (a) give prompt
written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks
- 13 -
indemnification (provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party
to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder, except
to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give such
notice), and (b) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest
between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such
indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any
liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent
will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or
elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of
more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such
claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist
between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such
claim.
4.4. Entry of Judgment; Settlement. The indemnifying party shall not, except with the
approval of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to
each indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation
without any payment or consideration provided by such indemnified party.
4.5. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 4 is, other
than expressly pursuant to its terms, unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under the provisions above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (a)
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on
the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the
registration statement on the other hand from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the
registered offering of securities as to which indemnity is sought or (b) if the allocation provided
by clause (a) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) above but also the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers
participating in the registration statement on the other hand in connection with the statement or
omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration
statement on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds
from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the Company bear to the total net proceeds from
the offering (before deducting expenses) to the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other
sellers participating in the registration statement. The relative fault of the Company on the one
hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the
registration statement on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company or by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the
registration statement and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The obligation to provide
contribution will be individual (and not
- 14 -
joint and several) to each holder and will be limited to the net amount of proceeds received
by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement,
less any other amounts paid by such holder, including pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof, in respect of
such untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission.
The Company and the sellers of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable
if contribution pursuant to this Section 4 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the
sellers of Registrable Securities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of
the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any
such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4, in no event shall any
selling holder hereunder be required to contribute (together with any contribution or other
liability of such holder under any similar provision contained in any applicable underwriting
agreement) an amount that is greater than the amount by which the total price at which the
Registrable Securities of such holder were offered to the public (less underwriters’ discount and
commissions) exceeds the total amount of any damages which such holder has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of such
holder in connection with such offering. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
4.6. Other Rights. The indemnification and contribution by any such party provided
for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or
contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and will remain in
full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of the
indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will
survive the transfer of securities.

6. MISCELLANEOUS.
6.1. No Inconsistent Agreements; Foreign Registration. The Company will not hereafter
enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with or violates the
rights granted to the holders of Registrable Securities in this Agreement. In the
event the Board and the Majority Sponsor approve a public offering or a sale of the Common
Shares of the Company (or other securities representing, or exercisable for or convertible into,
common shares) pursuant to the securities laws of a country other than the United States of
America, the Board shall have the power to amend this Agreement in such manner as it shall
- 18 -
deem
reasonably necessary to ensure that the provisions of this Agreement will apply in as close to the
same manner as possible under such foreign securities laws, and to otherwise preserve and give
effect to the rights of the parties hereto.
6.2. Remedies. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be
an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that, in addition to any
other rights and remedies at law or in equity existing in its favor, any party shall be entitled to
specific performance and/or other injunctive relief from any court of law or equity of competent
jurisdiction (without posting any bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent violation
of the provisions of this Agreement.
6.3. Amendment and Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may be
amended, modified, extended or terminated, and the provisions hereof may be waived, only by an
agreement in writing signed by the Company and each Majority Sponsor that holds Registrable
Securities; provided, however, that the admission of new parties pursuant to the
terms of Section 6.4 shall not constitute an amendment of this Agreement for purposes of this
Section 6.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any amendment, modification, extension, termination
or waiver (an “Amendment”) would treat or have the effect of treating in their capacity as
Shareholders any Shareholder or group of Shareholders in a manner different from, and materially
adverse relative to, the Majority Sponsors voting in favor of such Amendment, then such Amendment
will require the prior written consent of the Shareholder or Shareholders holding a majority of the
Registrable Securities of such group adversely treated. Each such Amendment shall be binding upon
each party hereto and each Shareholder subject hereto. In addition, each party hereto and each
Shareholder subject hereto may waive any right hereunder, as to itself, by an instrument in writing
signed by such party or Shareholder. The failure of any party to enforce any provisions of this
Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the
right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance
with its terms. To the extent the Amendment of any Section of this Agreement would require a
specific consent pursuant to this Section 6.3, any Amendment to definitions to the extent used in
such Section shall also require the specified consent.
6.4. Successors and Assigns; Transferees. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns. Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities after any Transfer
(except if such securities were effectively registered under the Securities Act and disposed of in
accordance with the registration statement covering them, sold to the public pursuant to Rule 144
under the Securities Act or sold in a block sale to a financial institution in the ordinary course
of its trading business). Any transferee receiving shares of Registrable Securities in a Transfer
effected in compliance with the terms of the Shareholder Agreement shall become a Shareholder,
party to this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of, and be entitled to enforce,
this Agreement to the same extent, and in the same capacity, as the Person that Transfers such
Registrable Securities to such transferee; provided that only a Permitted Transferee of a
Majority Sponsor will be deemed to be a Majority Sponsor for purposes of this Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, any transferee receiving Registrable Securities in a Transfer that is not a
Majority Sponsor or a Permitted Transferee of a Majority Sponsor or its Affiliates will become a
party to this Agreement without the benefit of the right to initiate Demand Registrations or other
- 19 -
rights afforded to the Majority Sponsors hereunder. Prior to the Transfer of any Registrable
Securities to any transferee, and as a condition thereto, each Shareholder effecting such Transfer
shall (a) cause such transferee to deliver to the Company and each of the Shareholders its written
agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to be bound by the terms
and conditions of this Agreement to the extent described in the preceding sentence and (b) if such
Transfer is to a Permitted Transferee, remain directly liable for the performance by such Permitted
Transferee of all obligations of such transferee under this Agreement.
6.5. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any
applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall
not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other
jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as
if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
6.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of
which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same
Agreement.
6.7. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted
for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
6.8. Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or
permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given, delivered and
effective on the earliest of (i) the date of receipt of confirmation of transmission, if such
notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in
this Section 6.8 prior to 5:00 p.m. (Singapore time) on a Business Day, (ii) the Business Day after
the date of receipt of confirmation of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered
via facsimile at the facsimile telephone number specified in this Agreement later than 5:00 p.m.
(Singapore time) on any Business Day and earlier than 11:59 p.m. (Singapore time) on the day
preceding the next Business Day, (iii) one (1) Business Day after when sent, if sent by nationally
recognized overnight courier service (charges prepaid), (iv) the date of receipt of a non-automated
reply email confirming receipt, if sent via email, or (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom
such notice is required to be given. The address for such notices and communications shall be as
