Such agency and appointment includes the power and authority, as the Sellers’ Representative may deem necessary or desirable in his sole discretion: (a) to negotiate, execute and deliver such waivers, consents and amendments (other than any written consent of the Represented Sellers adopting this Agreement or appointing the Sellers’ Representative) under this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) to refrain from enforcing any right of the Represented Sellers arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that no such failure to act, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any such right or interest by the Sellers’ Representative or the Represented Sellers unless such waiver is a writing signed by the Sellers’ Representative or waiving party; (c) as the Sellers’ Representative, to enforce and protect the interests and rights of the Represented Sellers and the rights and interests of such persons arising out of or in any manner relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to take any and all actions under this Agreement for and on behalf of the Represented Sellers, including, consenting to, compromising or settling any such claims, negotiating with the Buyer and its representative regarding such claims, and, in connection therewith, to (i) investigate, contest, defend or litigate any claim, action, proceeding or investigation initiated by the Buyer, against the Sellers’ Representative and/or any of the Represented Sellers, and receive process on behalf of any or all Represented Sellers therefor and compromise or settle, and give receipts, releases and discharges with respect to, any such claim, action, proceeding or investigation; (ii) assert any claim or institute any action, proceeding or investigation; (iii) settle or compromise any claims asserted under this Agreement; (iv) file any proofs of debt, claims and petitions; and (v) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any such action, proceeding or investigation, provided that the Sellers’ Representative shall not have any obligation to take any such actions, and shall not have any liability for the failure to so take any such action; (d) assert any claim or institute any action, proceeding or investigation; and (e) to make, execute, and deliver all such other agreements, payments, receipts, guarantees, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, letters, stock powers, and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Sellers’ Representative, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem necessary, proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement.

The Sellers’ Representative may be changed by the holders of a majority in interest of the Represented Sellers as determined by the Sale Shares of each Represented Seller set forth in Schedule 1 upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to all of the Represented Sellers and to Buyer.

Such Sellers’ Representative Expenses may be recovered from any distribution or other amounts otherwise distributable to the Represented Sellers and directly from the Represented Sellers. The Represented Sellers acknowledge that the Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Furthermore, the Sellers’ Representative shall not be required to take any action unless the Sellers’ Representative has been provided with funds, security or indemnities which, in its determination, are sufficient to protect the Sellers’ Representative against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred by the Sellers’ Representative in performing such actions. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon Schedule 1, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorisation to sign on behalf of the applicable Represented Seller or other party. |
11.3 | All of the indemnities and immunities granted to the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement shall survive Completion, the resignation or removal of the Sellers’ Representative, and/or any termination of this Agreement. All of the indemnities, immunities and powers granted to the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement (i) are coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable and shall survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Represented Seller and shall be binding on any successor thereto and (ii) shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Any action taken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to the authority granted hereunder or otherwise under this Agreement shall be effective and absolutely binding on each Represented Seller and such Represented Seller’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Represented Seller notwithstanding any contrary action of or direction from such Represented Seller, and all defences which may be available to any Represented Seller to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Sellers’ Representative taken in good faith under this Agreement are waived. |
11.4 | The Buyer shall have the right to rely upon all actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, all of which actions or omissions shall be legally binding upon the Represented Sellers, and the Buyer shall have no obligation to monitor or supervise the performance of the obligations of the Sellers’ Representative.

4.2 | General covenants |
For so long as any portion of the Bond remains outstanding, the Issuer undertakes that, except with the prior written consent of the Bondholder:
4.2.1 | it will, in a timely manner, obtain all such consents and approvals, and take any such other action, as may be necessary to enable the Bondholder to exercise its rights under the Bond and to ensure the continuing validity of the Bond, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Laws from time to time, and will comply with the Bond Conditions, and shall ensure that its obligations under the Transaction Documents rank and continue to rank at least pari passu with the claims of all of its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, except for obligations mandatorily preferred by law applying to companies generally; |

4.2.3 | it will keep available, free from pre-emptive or other rights, out of its authorised but unissued Shares, such number of Investor Ordinary Shares as would be required to be issued upon conversion of all the Bond from time to time remaining unexercised and to satisfy in full all other rights of exercise, conversion into or exchange or subscription for Investor Ordinary Shares and shall ensure that all Conversion Shares to be issued upon the exercise of all the Bond will be duly and validly issued as fully paid and free from any Encumbrance and rank at least pari passu with all other Investor Ordinary Shares then in issue. If at any time the number of authorised but unissued Investor Ordinary Shares shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion rights in accordance with Bond Condition 6 (Conversion) in full, the Issuer will take such corporate action as may be necessary to increase its authorised but unissued Investor Ordinary Shares to such number of Investor Ordinary Shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose; |
4.2.4 | except as required by applicable Laws, it will not close its register of members or take any other action which prevents the transfer of its Shares generally except for the purpose of determining relevant shareholders’ entitlement to exercise shareholders’ rights such as voting rights or rights as to annual, interim or special dividends unless, under the Laws of the Cayman Islands as then in effect, the Bond may be converted legally and Shares may (subject to any limitation imposed by Law) be transferred (as between transferor and transferee although not as against the Issuer) at all times during the period of such closure or while such other action is effective, nor take any action which prevents the conversion of the Bond or the issue of Investor Ordinary Shares (following the conversion of the Bond) in respect thereof; and |
