ARTICLE II REGISTRATION RIGHTS SECTION 2.01. Shelf Registration. (a) Filing. On or prior to the later of (i) the sixtieth (60th) calendar day following the execution of the Memoranda of Agreement or (ii) the fifteenth (15th) calendar day following the date on which all Company Shares have been issued, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the Commission a Shelf Registration Statement covering the resale of all Registrable Securities. If at such time the Company is eligible for use of Form F-3, such Registration shall be made on such form. The Shelf Registration Statement described in this Section 2.01(a) shall relate to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement (including any plan of distribution that Xxxxxxxx, on behalf of the Participating Investors, reasonably approves prior to the filing of such Shelf Registration Statement) and Rule 415 under the Securities Act (such Registration Statement, together with any Registration Statement to replace such Registration Statement upon expiration thereof, if any, is referred to hereinafter as the “Shelf Registration”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to address any comments from the Commission regarding such Shelf Registration Statement and to advocate with the Commission for the Registration of all Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable Commission rules and regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Commission prevents the Company from including any or all of the Registrable Securities on the Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders (a “Rule 415 Limitation”) or otherwise, such Shelf Registration Statement shall register the resale of a number of Company Shares which is equal to the maximum number of shares as is permitted by the Commission, and, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01, the Company shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to register all remaining Registrable Securities as set forth in this Article II, whether by way of amending such Shelf Registration Statement or filing a new Registration Statement. In such event, the number of Company Shares to be registered for each Holder in the applicable Shelf Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all then applicable Holders. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with the Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2.01, whether or not such Shelf Registration becomes effective. (b) Continued Effectiveness. Except as provided herein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earliest of (i) the date as of

8 which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, (ii) the date on which this Agreement terminates under Section 5.01(ii) with respect to all Investors and (iii) such shorter period as all of the Investors with respect to such Shelf Registration shall agree in writing (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). Subject to Section 2.01(d), the Company shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period for purposes of this Section 2.01(b) if the Company voluntarily and intentionally takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in Holders not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, unless such action or omission is (x) a Shelf Suspension permitted pursuant to Section 2.01(d) or (y) required by applicable law, rule or regulation. (c) Certain Undertakings. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall cause (i) the Shelf Registration Statement (as of the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement), any amendment thereof (as of the effective date thereof) or supplement thereto (as of its date), (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable Commission form requirements and Commission rules and regulations and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) any related Prospectus (including any preliminary Prospectus) or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, as of its date, (A) to comply in all material respects with applicable Commission rules and regulations and (B) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, the Company shall have no such obligations or liabilities with respect to any written information pertaining to any Holder and furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein. (d) Suspension of Registration. If the Company shall furnish to the Holders a certificate signed by the principal executive officer or principal financial officer of the Company stating that the continued use of the Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.01(a) would (i) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or (ii) in the reasonable good faith judgment of such officer, would materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate organization, financing, securities offering or other similar transaction involving the Company, then the Company may suspend use of such Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company, unless otherwise approved in writing by (i) the Xxxxxxxx Holders Majority (for so long as the Xxxxxxxx Holders hold any Registrable Securities), shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension more than three times, or for more than an aggregate of 90 days, in each case, during any 12-month period; provided, further, that in the event of a Shelf Suspension, such Shelf Suspension shall terminate at such earlier time as the Company would no longer be required to make any Adverse Disclosure. Each Holder agrees that, upon delivery of any certificate by the Company set forth in the first sentence of this Section 2.01(d), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until the Company informs such Holder in accordance with this Section 2.01(d) that the Shelf Suspension has been terminated. Each Holder shall keep confidential the fact that a Shelf Suspension is in effect, the certificate referred to above and its contents unless and until otherwise notified by the Company,

9 except (A) for disclosure to such Holder’s employees, agents and professional advisers who reasonably need to know such information for purposes of assisting the Holder with respect to its investment in the Company Shares and agree to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners or other direct or indirect investors who have agreed to keep such information confidential, (C) if and to the extent such matters are publicly disclosed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person that, to the actual knowledge of such Holder, was not subject to an obligation or duty of confidentiality to the Company and its Subsidiaries, (D) as required by law, rule or regulation (and in which case such Holder, to the extent not prohibited by law, shall provide advance notice of such proposed disclosure to the Company) and (E) for disclosure to any other Holder. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon delivery of the notice referred to above. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain a material misstatement of fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company agrees, if necessary, to supplement or make amendments to the Shelf Registration Statement if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Registration or by Commission rules and regulations, or as may reasonably be requested by any Holder. (e) Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that the Registration Statement or a Prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (a “Misstatement”), each Holder of Registrable Securities shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until such Holder has received copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus that corrects such Misstatement, or until such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Except during a Shelf Suspension pursuant to Section 2.01(d), the Company shall promptly amend or supplement any such Prospectus (including, if applicable, by filing a report under the Exchange Act) as promptly as possible to remedy any such Misstatement. (f) Shelf Take-Downs. (i) An offering or sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement (each, a “Shelf Take-Down”) may be initiated only by an Investor (an “Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder”). Except as set forth in Section 2.01(f)(iii) with respect to Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Downs, each such Initiating Shelf Take- Down Holder shall not be required to permit the offer and sale of Registrable Securities by other Holders in connection with any such Shelf Take-Down initiated by such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder.

10 (ii) Subject to Section 2.08, if the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder elects by written request to the Company, a Shelf Take-Down shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering (an “Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice”) and the Company shall amend or supplement the applicable Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose as soon as practicable. Subject to clause (iii) below, such Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering. (iii) Subject to Section 2.03(a)(xxi), if the plan of distribution set forth in any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice includes a customary “road show” (including an “electronic road show”) or other substantial marketing effort by the Company and the underwriters over a period expected to exceed 24 hours (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down”), promptly upon delivery of such Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice (but in no event more than three (3) Business Days thereafter), the Company shall promptly deliver a written notice (a “Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take- Down Notice”) of such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down to all Holders (other than the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder), and the Company shall include in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down all such Registrable Securities of such Holders that are registered on such Shelf Registration Statement for which the Company has received written requests, which requests must specify the aggregate amount of such Registrable Securities of such Holder to be offered and sold pursuant to such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, for inclusion therein within one (1) Business Day after the date that such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down Notice has been delivered; provided, that if the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down informs the Holders that have requested to participate in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down in writing that, in its or their good-faith opinion, the number of securities which such Holders intend to include in such offering exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, then the securities to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall be (i) first, the number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which number shall be allocated (1) first to the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down by the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder, and (2) second to the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down by any Requesting Investor who is not the Initiating Shelf Take-Down Holder on a pro rata basis and (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the number of Registrable Securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, which such number shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders (excluding the Requesting Investors) that have requested to participate in such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down based on the relative number of Registrable Securities then held by each such Holder (provided that any securities thereby allocated to a Holder that exceed such Holder’s request shall be reallocated among the remaining requesting Holders in like manner). The Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be included in any Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down shall have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters to administer such offering. No holder of securities of the

11 Company shall be permitted to include such holder’s securities in any Marketed Underwritten Offering except for Holders who wish to include Registrable Securities pursuant to this clause (iii). (iv) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate in a timely manner with any request of the Requesting Investors in respect of any block trade that is registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration (each, an “Alternative Transaction”), including (A) having appropriate representatives of the Company, upon reasonable request and at reasonable times, available to answer questions and make presentations to any prospective purchasers of Registrable Securities in such Alternative Transaction and (B) responding to reasonable information requests from prospective purchasers of Registrable Securities in such Alternative Transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.01(f)(iv) or anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company will not be required to (1) provide such cooperation with respect to more than two such sales efforts or (2) disclose to the transferee any material the Company deems to constitute material, non-public information to the extent that such information would not otherwise be required under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement (provided, however, no such disclosure to the transferee shall be required during any suspension pursuant to Section 2.01(d)). SECTION 2.02. Black-out Periods. (a) Black-out Period for the Company and Others. In the case of an offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 that is an Underwritten Offering, the Company and each of the Holders agree, if requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters with respect to such Underwritten Offering, not to, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter or underwriters, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction which is designed to, or might reasonably be expected to, result in the disposition (whether by actual disposition or effective economic disposition due to cash settlement or otherwise) by the Company, such Holder or their respective affiliates) directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, any other Common Shares or any securities convertible into, or exercisable, or exchangeable for, Common Shares, or publicly announce an intention to effect any such transaction, during the period beginning seven (7) days before, and ending up to 45 days after, the date of the underwriting agreement for such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down,; provided, that the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on (i) the Chief Executive Officer and/or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (or persons in substantially equivalent positions), in their capacities as such in connection with Underwritten Offering; provided, further, that nothing herein will prevent any Holder that is a partnership, limited liability company, corporation or other entity from making a distribution of Registrable Securities to the partners, members, shareholders or other equityholders thereof or a transfer to an Affiliate that is otherwise in compliance with the applicable securities laws, so long as such distributees or transferees agree to be bound by the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.02(a), or participating in any merger, acquisition or similar change of control transaction. If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters of any

12 such Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down, the Company and the Holders shall execute a separate lock-up agreement to the foregoing effect. This Section 2.02 shall not prohibit any transaction by the Company or any Holder that is permitted by its lock-up agreement or provision entered into in connection with an Underwritten Offering with the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering (as such lock-up agreement or provision is modified or waived by such managing underwriter or underwriters from time to time). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may effect a public sale or distribution of securities of the type described above and during the periods described above if such sale or distribution is made pursuant to Registrations on Form F-4 or Form S-8 or as part of any Registration of securities for offering and sale to employees, directors or consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement. (b) Other Shareholders. The Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain from each of its directors and officers and from Hemen Holding Limited, an agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of such securities during any period referred to in this Section 2.02, except as part of any sales or distributions made pursuant to Registrations permitted under Section 2.02(a). Without limiting the foregoing (but subject to Section 2.05), if after the date hereof the Company or any of its Subsidiaries grants any Person any rights to demand or participate in a Registration, the Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide that the agreement with respect thereto shall include such Person’s agreement to comply with any black-out period required by this Section 2.02 as if it were a Holder hereunder. If requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters of any such Underwritten Offering, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such persons referred to in the first sentence of this Section 2.02(b) to execute a separate agreement to the foregoing effect. This Section 2.02 shall not prohibit any transaction by such person that is permitted by its lock-up agreement entered into in connection with an Underwritten Offering with the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering (as such lock-up agreement is modified or waived by such managing underwriter or underwriters from time to time). The Company may impose stop- transfer instructions with respect to the Company Shares (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of the period referenced above. SECTION 2.03. Registration Procedures. (a) In connection with the Company’s Registration obligations under Section 2.01 reasonable and subject to the applicable terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such Registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution set forth in the Registration Statement as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, and in connection therewith the Company shall: (i) prepare the required Registration Statement, including all exhibits and financial statements required under the Securities Act to be filed therewith, and before filing a Registration Statement, Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto, (x) furnish to the underwriters, if any, and the Participating Investors, if any, copies of all documents prepared to be filed, and provide such underwriters and the Participating Investors and their respective counsel with a

13 reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such documents prior to their filing and (y) not file any Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto to which any Participating Investor or the underwriters, if any, shall reasonably object; (ii) prepare and file with the Commission such pre- and post-effective amendments to such Registration Statement, supplements to the Prospectus and such amendments or supplements to any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus as may be (x) reasonably requested by any Participating Investor, (y) reasonably requested by any other Participating Holder (to the extent such request relates to information relating to such Holder), or (z) necessary to keep such Registration effective for the period of time required by this Agreement, and use its reasonable best efforts to comply with provisions of the applicable securities laws and Commission rules and regulations with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement, and prior to the filing of such amendments and supplements, furnish such amendments and supplements to the underwriters, if any, and the Participating Investors, if any, and provide such underwriters and the Participating Investors and their respective counsel with an adequate and appropriate opportunity to review and comment on such amendments and supplements prior to their filing; (iii) promptly notify the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and (if requested) confirm such advice in writing and provide copies of the relevant documents upon the request of a Holder, as soon as reasonably practicable after notice thereof is received by the Company (A) when the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto has been filed or becomes effective, and when the applicable Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto has been filed, (B) of any written comments by the Commission or any request by the Commission or any other Governmental Authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or for additional information, (C) of the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending or threatening to suspend the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or any order by the Commission or any other regulatory authority preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary or final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for such purposes, (D) if, at any time, the representations and warranties of the Company in any applicable underwriting agreement cease to be true and correct in all material respects, (E) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction and (F) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction; (iv) promptly notify the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, when the Company becomes aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the Registration Statement, the Prospectus included in

14 such Registration Statement (as then in effect) or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of such Prospectus, any preliminary Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, when any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus includes information that may conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, or, if for any other reason it shall be necessary during such time period to amend or supplement such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in order to comply with the Securities Act and, in either case as promptly as reasonably practicable thereafter, prepare and file with the Commission, and furnish without charge to the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, an amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus which shall correct such misstatement or omission or effect such compliance; (v) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent, or obtain the withdrawal of, any stop order or other order suspending the use of any preliminary or final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus; (vi) promptly incorporate in a Prospectus supplement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such additional information as the managing underwriter or underwriters and the Participating Investor(s) reasonably request to be included therein relating to the plan of distribution with respect to such Registrable Securities, and make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or post-effective amendment; (vii) furnish to each Participating Holder and each underwriter, if any, without charge, as many conformed copies as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request of the Registration Statement and any amendment, post-effective amendment or supplement thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference and all exhibits (including any incorporated by reference); (viii) deliver to each Participating Holder and each underwriter, if any, without charge, as many copies of the applicable Prospectus (including each preliminary Prospectus), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request (it being understood that the Company consents to the use of such Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto by such Holder and the underwriters, if any, in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities thereby) and such other documents as such Holder or underwriter may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder or underwriter;

15 (ix) on or prior to the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective, use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify, and cooperate with the Participating Holders, the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, and their respective counsel, in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of each state and other jurisdiction of the United States as any Participating Holder or managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, or their respective counsel reasonably request in writing and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to keep such registration or qualification in effect for such period as required by Section 2.01(b), whichever is applicable, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would subject it to taxation or general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; (x) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement, use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Participating Holders and the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be sold and not bearing any restrictive legends, and enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as the managing underwriters may request at least two (2) Business Days prior to any sale of Registrable Securities to the underwriters; (xi) use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof or the underwriter or underwriters, if any, to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; (xii) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, make such representations and warranties to the Participating Holders and the underwriters or agents, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in secondary underwritten public offerings; (xiii) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements) and take all such other actions as any Participating Investor or the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the Registration and disposition of such Registrable Securities; (xiv) with respect to any Underwritten Offering, obtain for delivery to the Participating Holders and to the underwriter or underwriters, if any, an opinion or opinions from counsel for the Company dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in customary form, scope and substance, which opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to such Holders or underwriters, as the case may be, and their respective counsel;

16 (xv) in the case of an Underwritten Offering, obtain for delivery to the Company and the managing underwriter or underwriters, with copies to the Participating Holders, a cold comfort letter from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the managing underwriter or underwriters reasonably request, dated the date of execution of the underwriting agreement and brought down to the date of the closing of the Underwritten Offering, as specified in the underwriting agreement; (xvi) cooperate with each Participating Holder and each underwriter, if any, participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the FINRA; (xvii) use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable securities laws and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (xviii) provide and cause to be maintained a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement from and after a date not later than the effective date of such Registration Statement; (xix) use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which any of the Common Shares are then listed or quoted and on each inter-dealer quotation system on which any of the Common Shares are then quoted; (xx) in connection with an Underwritten Offering and subject to the execution of any confidentiality agreements as reasonably requested by the Company, make available upon reasonable notice at reasonable times and for reasonable periods for inspection by any Participating Investor, by any underwriter participating in any disposition to be effected pursuant to such Registration Statement and by any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Participating Investor(s) or any such underwriter, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause all of the Company’s officers, directors and employees and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements to make themselves available to discuss the business of the Company and to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Person in connection with such Registration Statement as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility; and (xxi) in the case of an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities in an amount of at least one percent (1%) of the Company’s then-outstanding Common Shares, cause executive officers of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters in any such Underwritten Offering no more than once per calendar quarter over a period of no more than 24 hours (provided, however, that such participation is not

17 required to be in person by any such executive officer) and otherwise to facilitate, cooperate with, and participate in each such proposed Underwritten Offering to the extent reasonably requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters. (b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.01 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding the distribution of such securities and such other information relating to such Holder and its ownership and method of distribution of Registrable Securities as the Company or its counsel may from time to time reasonably request in writing. Each Participating Holder agrees to furnish such information to the Company and to cooperate with the Company as reasonably necessary to enable the Company to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. (c) Each Participating Holder agrees that, upon delivery of any notice by the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 2.03(a)(iii)(C), (D), or (E) or Section 2.03(a)(iv), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until (i) such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.03(a)(iv), (ii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, as the case may be, may be resumed or (iii) such Holder is advised in writing by the Company of the termination, expiration or cessation of such order or suspension referenced in Section 2.03(a)(iii)(C) or (E). If so directed by the Company, such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus covering the offer and sale of such Registrable Securities current at the time of delivery of such notice. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the period during which the Registration Statement is required to be maintained effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either receives the copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus contemplated by Section 2.03(a)(iv) or is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus may be resumed. SECTION 2.04. Underwritten Offerings. (a) Shelf Registrations. If requested by the underwriters for any Underwritten Offering requested by any Participating Investor pursuant to a Registration under Section 2.01, the Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, each Participating Investor and the underwriters, and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including indemnities no less favorable to the recipient thereof than those customarily provided by the Company as part of its public offerings. Each Participating Investor shall cooperate reasonably with the Company in the negotiation of such underwriting agreement and shall give consideration to the reasonable suggestions of the Company regarding the form thereof. The Participating Holders shall be parties to such underwriting agreement, which underwriting agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such Participating Holders as

18 are customarily made by issuers to selling shareholders in secondary underwritten public offerings. Any such Participating Holder shall not be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters in connection with such underwriting agreement other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Participating Holder, such Participating Holder’s title to the Registrable Securities, such Participating Holder’s authority to sell the Registrable Securities, such Participating Holder’s intended method of distribution, absence of liens with respect to the Registrable Securities, receipt of all required consents and approvals with respect to the entry into such underwriting agreement and the sale of such Registrable Securities and any other representations required to be made by such Participating Holder under applicable law, rule or regulation, and the aggregate amount of the liability of such Participating Holder in connection with such underwriting agreement shall not exceed such Participating Holder’s net proceeds from such Underwritten Offering. (b) Participation in Underwritten Registrations. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04(a) above, no Person may participate in any Underwritten Offering hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Persons entitled to approve such arrangements and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. (c) Price and Underwriting Discounts. In the case of an Underwritten Offering under Section 2.01, the price, underwriting discount and other financial terms for the Registrable Securities shall be determined by the Investor(s) participating in such Underwritten Offering. SECTION 2.05. No Inconsistent Agreements; Additional Rights. The Company is not currently a party to, and shall not hereafter enter into without the prior written consent of the Xxxxxxxx Holders Majority (for so long as the Xxxxxxxx Holders hold any Registrable Securities), any registration rights or similar agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders by this Agreement, including allowing any other holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company registration rights in the nature or substantially in the nature of those set forth in Section 2.01 that would have priority over the Registrable Securities with respect to the inclusion of such securities in any Registration under this Agreement. SECTION 2.06. Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Agreement and incurred by or on behalf of the Company shall be paid by the Company, including (i) all registration and filing fees, and any other fees and expenses associated with filings required to be made with the Commission or FINRA, (ii) all fees and expenses in connection with compliance with any securities or “Blue Sky” laws, (iii) all printing, duplicating, word processing, messenger, telephone, facsimile and delivery expenses (including expenses of printing any required certificates for the Registrable Securities in a form eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company and of printing Prospectuses and Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses), (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and of all independent certified public accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special audits incidental to or required by any registration), (v) Securities Act liability insurance or similar insurance if the Company so desires, (vi) all fees and expenses incurred in connection

19 with the listing of Registrable Securities on any securities exchange or quotation of the Registrable Securities on any inter-dealer quotation system, (vii) all fees and expenses of any special experts or other Persons retained by the Company in connection with any Registration, (viii) all of the Company’s internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), (ix) transfer agents’ and registrars’ fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of any other agent or trustee appointed by the Company in connection with such offering and (x) any other fees and disbursements customarily paid by the issuers of securities. All such fees and expenses are referred to herein as “Registration Expenses.” Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence or anything to the contrary, any reasonably incurred and documented out-of-pocket Registration Expenses incurred in connection with a Shelf Take-Down pursuant to Section 2.01(e) hereunder, including, but not limited to, a Marketed Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or an Alternative Transaction, shall be paid by the applicable Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Take-Down pro rata among each other on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities so offered for sale in such Shelf Take-Down. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be required to pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sale of Registrable Securities. SECTION 2.07. Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the reasonable request of any Investor, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act), and it will take such further action as any Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Holders, to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rules 144, 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the reasonable request of a Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof. SECTION 2.08. Limitation on Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding the rights and obligations set forth in Section 2.01, in no event shall the Company be obligated to take any action to effect any Underwritten Shelf Take-Down or Underwritten Offering unless the Investors initiating such Underwritten Offering propose to sell at least $25 million of Registrable Securities. SECTION 2.09. [Reserved]. SECTION 2.10. In-Kind Distributions. If any Holder seeks to effectuate an in-kind distribution of all or part of its Company Shares to its direct or indirect equityholders, the Company will reasonably cooperate with and assist such Holder, such equityholders and the Company’s transfer agent to facilitate such in-kind distribution in the manner reasonably requested by such Holder (including the delivery of instruction letters by the Company or its counsel to the Company’s transfer agent, the delivery of customary legal opinions by counsel to

20 the Company and the delivery of Company Shares without restrictive legends, to the extent no longer applicable). SECTION 2.11. Restrictive Legend. The Registrable Securities shall be evidenced by certificates or by book-entry accounts maintained by the Company’s transfer agent and shall bear restrictive legends in substantially the following forms: “THE SHARES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION. THE SHARES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (1) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (2) PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, IN EACH CASE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THE SECURITIES LAWS OF OTHER JURISDICTIONS, AND IN THE CASE OF A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED DOCUMENTATION SATISFACTORY TO IT THAT SUCH TRANSACTION DOES NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.” ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SECTION 3.01. Representations and Warranties of the Company. In connection with the Common Shares that Xxxxxxxx and its Subsidiaries are receiving as consideration pursuant to the Transactions, the Company hereby makes the representations and warranties contained in Annex A hereto to Xxxxxxxx and the Persons set forth in Schedule I hereto. ARTICLE IV INDEMNITY SECTION 4.01. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Holders, each of their respective partners, members or shareholders and each of such partner’s, member’s or shareholder’s partners, members or shareholders and, with respect to all of the foregoing Persons, each of their respective Affiliates, employees, directors, officers, trustees or agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Shareholder Parties”) from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs and expenses of investigation and attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and expenses) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) insofar as such

21 Losses arise out of or are relating to (i) any breach of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 and Annex A of this Agreement, (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein, which shall include any information that has been deemed to be a part of any Prospectus under Rule 159 under the Securities Act), any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, (iii) any 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 a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, (iv) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of any federal, state or common law rule or regulation applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such registration, qualification, compliance or sale of Registrable Securities or (v) any failure to register or qualify Registrable Securities in any state where the Company or its agents have affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing that the Company (the undertaking of any underwriter being attributed to the Company) will undertake such registration or qualification on behalf of the Holders of such Registrable Securities (provided that in such instance the Company shall not be so liable if it has undertaken its reasonable best efforts to so register or qualify such Registrable Securities), and the Company will reimburse, as incurred, each such Shareholder Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, that the Company shall not be liable to any Shareholder Party to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is relating to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such indemnified party expressly for use in the preparation thereof (including without limitation any written information provided for inclusion in the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i)). This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Holder or any Shareholder Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder. (b) Indemnification by the Participating Holders. Each Participating Holder agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act), and each other Holder, each of such other Holder’s respective direct or indirect partners, members or shareholders and each of such partner’s, member’s or shareholder’s partners, members or shareholders and, with respect to all of the foregoing Persons, each of their respective Affiliates, employees, directors, officers, trustees or agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement under which such Participating Holder’s Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein, which shall include any information that has been deemed to be a part of any Prospectus under Rule 159 under the Securities Act) or any Issuer Free Writing

22 Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii) any 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 a Prospectus, preliminary Prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Participating Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, any written information provided for inclusion in the Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(i)) and has not been corrected in a subsequent writing prior to or concurrently with the sale of the Registrable Securities to the Person asserting the claim, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) was made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or other document, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of such Participating Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Participating Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section 4.01 shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after delivery of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (C) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (D) in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party (based upon advice of its counsel), an actual or potential conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party for the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, in each case without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, unless the entry of such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability of such indemnified party in respect to such claim or litigation and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party, and provided that any sums payable in connection with such settlement are paid in full by the indemnifying party.

23 If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 4.01, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time with respect to all indemnified parties unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties, or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels. (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 4.01 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein (other than as a result of any limitations set forth in the express terms of this Section 4.01), including as a result of an order by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with the Registration Statement filed with the Commission by the Company, the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.01(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 4.01(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. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Sections 4.01(a) and 4.01(b) 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 4.01(d), in connection with the Registration Statement filed by the Company, a Participating Holder shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder under the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation less any amount paid by such Holders pursuant to Section 4.01(b). Each Participating Shareholder’s obligation to contribute pursuant to this Section 4.01 is several in the proportion that the proceeds of the offering received by such Participating Shareholder bears to the total proceeds of the offering received by all such Participating Shareholders and not joint. If indemnification is available under this
