The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day after the Closing Date (or the 120th calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” such Registration Statement) and (ii) the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (the earlier of clauses (i) and (ii), the “Effectiveness Deadline”).
(b) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement to remain continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the Securities Act, for a period from the date the Registration Statement becomes or is declared effective by the Commission, as the case may be, to and including the earlier of (x) the date on which when all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities and (y) the 20th Trading Date (as defined in the Indenture) immediately following the Maturity Date (the “Effectiveness Period”). Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, if there ceases to be any Registrable Securities, the Company will no longer be required to file or keep effective any Registration Statement or pay any Additional Interest as contemplated by this Agreement and the Indenture. The Company may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form F-3 or Form F-10 at such time after the Company becomes eligible to use such form.
(c) The Company shall provide written notice to the Holders of the anticipated filing date of the initial Registration Statement at least 10 Business Days prior to such anticipated filing date. In order to be named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement at the time of its initial effectiveness, each Holder will furnish a Notice and Questionnaire and such information as the Company reasonably requests in writing regarding such Holder at least 5 Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement as provided in the notice to the Holders. If a Holder does not timely complete and deliver a Notice and Questionnaire or provide the other information the Company may reasonably request in writing, that Holder will not be named as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement and will not be permitted to sell its Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement at its effective date unless otherwise agreed by the Company. No Holder shall be named as an “underwriter” in any Registration Statement without such Holder’s prior written consent unless in response to a comment or request from the Commission or another regulatory agency; provided that if the Commission requests that a Holder be identified as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement, such Holder will have the opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. From and after the effective date of the Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, as promptly as is practicable after the date a Notice and Questionnaire is delivered, and in any event within 90 calendar days after such date, (i) if required by applicable law, to file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or to prepare and, if permitted or required by applicable law, to file a supplement to the Prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that each Holder that delivered a Notice and Questionnaire is named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and so that such Holder is permitted to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law (provided that the Company shall not be required to file more than one supplement or post-effective amendment in any 90-day period in accordance with this Section 2(c)(i)) and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as is reasonably practicable; (ii) provide such Holder as many copies of any documents filed pursuant to this Section 2(c)(i) as such Holder reasonably requests; and (iii) notify such Holder as soon as is reasonably practicable after the effectiveness under the Securities Act of any post-effective amendment filed pursuant to this Section 2(c)(i); provided that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(i). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement or Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(c) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the time when any Registration Statement was
4
declared or otherwise became effective) shall be named as a selling securityholder in the Registration Statement or Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Notes are called for redemption pursuant to Section 4.03(B) or 4.03(C) of the Indenture, then the Company shall file a post-effective amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus as soon as is reasonably practicable (but no sooner than 5 Business Days) following the Redemption Notice Date (as defined in the Indenture), naming as a selling securityholder therein all Notice Holders that have completed and delivered a Notice and Questionnaire on or before the date of such filing; provided that no such filing shall be required if all Notice Holders are already named as selling securityholders in the Registration Statement or Prospectus.
(d) If any of the following events (any such event a “Registration Default”) shall occur, then additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) shall become payable by the Company pursuant to the Indenture to holders of the Notes as follows:
(i) if a Registration Statement has not been filed with the Commission prior to the Filing Deadline, then commencing on the first Business Day following the Filing Deadline, Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum;
(ii) if a Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, then commencing on the day that is the first Business Day following Effectiveness Deadline, Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum;
(iii) if a Registration Statement has been declared or becomes effective but ceases to be effective or ceases to be usable for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities (other than in connection with (A) a Deferral Period or (B) as a result of a requirement to file a new Registration Statement, a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to make changes to the information regarding selling securityholders or the plan of distribution provided for therein) at any time during the Effectiveness Period and the Company does not cure the lapse of effectiveness or usability within five (5) Business Days (or, if a Deferral Period is then in effect, within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of such Deferral Period), then Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum;
(iv) if the Company, through its omission, fails to name a Holder as a selling securityholder and such selling securityholder had complied timely with its obligations hereunder in a manner to entitle such selling securityholder to be so named in (i) the Registration Statement at the time it first became effective or (ii) any Prospectus at the later of time of filing thereof or the time the Registration Statement of which the Prospectus forms a part becomes effective, then Additional Interest shall accrue, on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder, at a rate of 0.50% per annum; and
(v) if the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period pursuant to Section 3(i), then commencing on the day after the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period, Additional Interest shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.50% per annum;
provided, however, that Additional Interest shall cease to accrue (without in any way limiting the effect of any subsequent Registration Default requiring the payment of Additional Interest) (1) upon the filing and effectiveness (whether upon such filing or otherwise) of the Registration Statement (in the case of Section 2(d)(i) and Section 2(d)(ii)), (2) upon such time as the Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective or usable for resales again becomes effective and usable for resales (in the case of Section 2(d)(iii)), (3) upon the time such Holder is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and Prospectus in accordance with applicable law (in the case of Section 2(d)(iv) above), (4) upon the termination of the Deferral Period referred to in Section 2(d)(v) or (5), in any case, notwithstanding the preceding clauses (1) through (4), upon the conclusion of the Effectiveness Period.
5
Any amounts of Additional Interest due pursuant to this Section 2(d) will be payable in cash on the next succeeding interest payment date to Holders entitled to receive such Additional Interest on the relevant record dates for the payment of interest pursuant to and to the extent set forth, in the Indenture; provided that (x) any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest with respect to any Notes or portion thereof submitted for conversion shall be paid in the manner and to the extent provided for the payment of interest in Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 of the Indenture and (y) that any accrued and unpaid Additional Interest with respect to any Notes or portion thereof submitted for repurchase on a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Indenture), and not withdrawn in compliance with Section 4.02 of the Indenture, shall be paid in the manner provided for the payment of interest in Section 4.02 of the Indenture. If any Note ceases to be outstanding during any period for which Additional Interest is accruing, the Company will prorate the Additional Interest payable with respect to such Note.
The Additional Interest rate on the Notes shall not exceed in the aggregate 0.50% per annum and shall not be payable under more than one clause of this Section 2(d) for any given period of time.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, (x) in no event shall Additional Interest accrue or be payable to holders of Common Shares issued upon conversion of Notes and (y) if a Registration Default occurs after a Holder has converted its Notes for Common Shares, such Holder shall not be entitled to any Additional Interest with respect to such Common Shares.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture as soon as is reasonably practicable upon the happening of each and every Registration Default. The Trustee shall be entitled, on behalf of Holders, to seek any available remedy for the enforcement of this Agreement, including for the payment of any Additional Interest if any becomes due.

(i) furnish to each Notice Holder, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and each amendment or supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein (other than amendments and supplements that do nothing more than name Notice Holders and provide information with respect thereto and other than filings by the Company under the Exchange Act) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as the Notice Holders reasonably proposes within one (1) Business Day of the delivery of such copy to the Notice Holders and such counsel; and

(ii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for additional information;

Following receipt of an Opt-Out Notice from a Notice Holder (unless subsequently revoked), (x) the Company shall not deliver any such notices to such Notice Holder and such Notice Holder shall no longer be entitled to the rights associated with any such notice and (y) each time prior to such Notice Holder’s intended use of an effective Registration Statement, such Notice Holder will notify the Company in writing at least five (5) Business Days in advance of such intended use, and if a notice of a Suspension Event was previously delivered (or would have been delivered but for the provisions of this paragraph) and the related suspension period remains in effect, the Company will so notify such Notice Holder, within two (2) Business Days of such Notice Holder’s notification to the Company, by delivering to such Notice Holder a copy of such previous notice of Suspension Event, and thereafter will provide such Notice Holder with the related notice of the conclusion of such Suspension Event promptly following its availability.
8

(a) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder covered by the Registration Statement and the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each such Holder and each person who controls any such Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and expenses) (“Losses”), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable (x) in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the party claiming indemnification specifically for inclusion therein or (y) to any Holder from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Notes or Common Shares concerned, to the extent that (1) a Prospectus relating to such Notes or Common Shares was required under the Securities Act to be delivered (including through satisfaction of the conditions of Rule 172
9
under the Securities Act) by such Holder in connection with such purchase, (2) any such Loss of such Holder results from the fact that there was not conveyed to such person, at or prior to the time of the sale of such Notes or Common Shares to such person, an amended or supplemented prospectus or (if available) a free writing prospectus of the Company, in each case, correcting such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission and (3) the Company had furnished copies of such an amended or supplemented prospectus or free writing prospectus to such Holder prior to the time of the sale of such Notes or Common Shares to such person. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have to the indemnified party.
(b) Each Holder of securities covered by the Registration Statement severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Company’s directors, each of the Company’s officers who signs the Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any and all Losses to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Securities Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statements or omissions are based upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of any Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it has been materially prejudiced through the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. If any action shall be brought against an indemnified party and it shall have notified the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint one separate counsel (including one separate local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (1) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (2) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (3) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the initiation of such action; or (4) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood and agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all indemnified persons. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of such indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for amounts paid in settlement of any Loss if such settlement is effected without the indemnifying party’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
10
(d) In the event that the indemnity provided in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a several, and not joint, obligation to contribute to the Losses to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 5(d), any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. Each indemnifying party’s obligation to make a contribution pursuant to this Section 5(d) shall be individual, not joint and several, and in no event shall the liability of any Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5(d), 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. For purposes of this Section 5, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 5(d).
(e) The provisions of this Section 5 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 5, and shall survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by the Registration Statement.
6. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company has not entered into, and agrees not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that conflicts with the registration rights granted to the Holders herein.
7. Rule 144. So long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The Company covenants that it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. Upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.
8. Listing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market or another U.S. national securities exchange.
9. Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 9 may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of each Holder.
11
10. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first class mail, air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery, or by email:

(b) if to the Company:

The Company by notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
11. Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided to it herein, in the Indenture or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by them of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
12. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders, and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 5. The Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder (including, to avoid doubt, any Holder that receives Notes upon transfer by an Investor or any Holder of additional Notes issued under the Indenture after the date of this Agreement), and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.
13. Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts (which may include counterparts delivered by any standard form of telecommunication), each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form (including any electronic signature complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) or by facsimile or other transmission method, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.
12
14. Headings; Interpretation. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this Agreement to a “Section” or “clause” refers to a Section or clause, as the case may be, of this Agreement, and the words “herein,” “hereof” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or other subdivision. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a statute, rule or regulation refers to the same (including any successor statute, rule or regulation thereto) as it may be amended from time to time, and the word “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”
15. Applicable Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.
16. Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
17. Conversion Shares Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of the Conversion Shares or consent or approval of the Majority Holders is required hereunder, (a) Conversion Shares (or Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of Notes) held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Conversion Shares if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Conversion Shares) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage or by the Majority Holders, and (b) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of Notes shall be calculated without giving effect to Section 5.10 of the Indenture.
18. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the Company and each Holder by its acquisition of a Note (a) agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be instituted exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the City and County of New York or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in the City and County of New York and the Company agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts and (b) irrevocably consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each of the Company and each Holder by its acquisition of a Note agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each of the Company and each Holder by its acquisition of a Note hereto irrevocably waives any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may be entitled or become entitled (including sovereign immunity, immunity to pre-award attachment, post-award attachment or otherwise) in any proceedings or enforcement proceedings against it arising out of or based on this Agreement.
19. Venue. Each of the Company and each Holder by its acquisition of a Note irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in Section 18. Each of the Company and each Holder by its acquisition of a Note irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
13
20. Service of Process. In connection with this Agreement, the Company has irrevocably appointed LumiraDx Inc., 000 Xxxxxxxx Xx., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any such suit or proceeding, and the Company agrees that service of process upon such agent, and written notice of said service to the Company by the person serving the same to the address provided in Section 10, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the Company in any such suit or proceeding. Each Holder by its acquisition of a Note consents to service of process in the manner provided in Section 10. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
21. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate with respect to any Holder upon the date when such Holder no long beneficially owns any Registrable Securities.

FORM OF
SELLING SECURITYHOLDER NOTICE AND QUESTIONNAIRE
The undersigned beneficial holder of Registrable Securities understands that the Company has filed or intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement for the registration and resale under Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of Registrable Securities in accordance with the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated March 3, 2022 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company and the Investors named therein. A copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available from the Company upon request at the address set forth below. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Registration Rights Agreement.
Each beneficial owner of Registrable Securities is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement (including any person that has a beneficial interest in any Registrable Security in book-entry form). In order to sell or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement, a beneficial owner of Registrable Securities generally will be required to be named as a Selling Securityholder (as defined below) in the related prospectus, deliver a prospectus to purchasers of Registrable Securities and be bound by those provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement applicable to such beneficial owner (including certain indemnification provisions as described below). Beneficial owners are encouraged to complete, execute and deliver this Notice and Questionnaire prior to the filing or effectiveness, as applicable, of the Registration Statement so that such beneficial owners may be named as Selling Securityholders in the related prospectus at the time of effectiveness. Any beneficial owner of Registrable Securities wishing to include its Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement must deliver to the Company a properly completed and signed Notice and Questionnaire.
Certain legal consequences arise from being named as Selling Securityholders in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus. Accordingly, holders and beneficial owners of Registrable Securities are advised to consult their own securities law counsel regarding the consequences of being named or not being named as a Selling Securityholder in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.
NOTICE

(8) | Plan of Distribution: | |
Except as set forth below, the undersigned (including its donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest) intends to distribute the Registrable Securities listed above in Item (3) pursuant to the Registration Statement as follows (if at all): such Registrable Securities may be sold from time to time directly by the undersigned or alternatively through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the Registrable Securities are sold through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, the Selling Securityholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions (in addition to any other fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith unless otherwise specified in the Registration Rights Agreement). Such Registrable Securities may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. Such sales may be effected in transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the Registrable Securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale, (ii) in the over-the-counter market, (iii) in transactions other than on such exchanges or services or in the over-the-counter market, (iv) through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise, (v) purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to the prospectus, (vi) block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction, (vii) settlement of short sales entered into after the date of the prospectus, (viii) in privately negotiated transactions, (ix) through a combination of any of the foregoing methods or (x) any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. The Selling Securityholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Registrable Securities owned by it and, if it defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the Registrable Securities from time to time pursuant to the prospectus. The Selling Securityholder also may transfer and donate shares in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling Securityholder for purposes of the prospectus. | ||

The Company hereby advises each selling securityholder of the following Interpretation of the July 1997 SEC Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations regarding short selling: | ||
“An issuer filed a Form S-3 registration statement for a secondary offering of Class A common stock which is not yet effective. One of the selling shareholders wanted to do a short sale of Class A common stock “against the box” and cover the short sale with registered shares after the effective date. The issuer was advised that the short sale could not be made before the registration statement becomes effective, because the shares underlying the short sale are deemed to be sold at the time such sale is made. There would, therefore, be a violation of Section 5 if the shares were effectively sold prior to the effective date.” |
A-5
By returning this Notice and Questionnaire, the Selling Securityholder will be deemed to be aware of the foregoing interpretation. | ||
