The Company is duly incorporated, registered or organized, validly existing and in good standing (or equivalent, if applicable) under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, possesses all requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and properties and to carry on its businesses as now being conducted, and is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify, individually or in the aggregate, would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The copies of the Governing Documents of the Company in effect as of the date hereof, which have been made available to the Purchasers, are accurate and complete copies of such Governing Documents. Schedule A lists all of the directors and officers of the Company and the directors of the General Partner as of immediately following the Closing.

3B. Equity Interests and Related Matters. Immediately prior to the Closing (and before giving effect to the Class A Convertible Preference Issuance), the authorized and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company consist solely of securities, interests and rights which are held beneficially and of record as set forth on Part 1 of Schedule B attached hereto. Immediately following the Closing (and after giving effect to the Class A Convertible Preference Issuance), the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the Company shall consist solely of securities, interests and rights which are held beneficially and of record as set forth on Part 2 of Schedule B attached hereto. The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Class B Common Shareholder.

Upon the Closing, other than as set forth on Schedule B, the Company has no outstanding Equity Interests, other securities or other agreements that could require the Company to issue, sell or otherwise cause to become outstanding any of its equity interests, including any profit participation or similar features, or any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase any Equity Interests of the Company or any appreciation rights or phantom equity-type plans of the Company. The Company is not subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any Equity Interests of the Company or any warrants, options or other rights to acquire its Equity Interests, other than as expressly provided in or contemplated by this Agreement, the Initial Closing Purchase Agreement, the A&R Memorandum and Articles of Association or the Shareholders Agreement. The Company is not a party to, or otherwise subject to, any agreement granting registration rights to any Person with respect to any securities of the Company, and there are no statutory or contractual preemptive rights or rights of first refusal or other similar restrictions with respect to the Company’s Equity Interests, including with respect to the Class A Convertible Preference Issuance, in each case, other than as explicitly set forth in the Shareholders Agreement. The Company has not violated any applicable federal, state or foreign securities Laws in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of its Equity Interests. Except for the Transaction Documents and the Initial Closing Purchase Agreement, there are no agreements or understandings between or among the Company and the holders of any of its Equity Interests or among any other Persons with respect to the voting or transfer of the Company’s Equity Interests or with respect to any other aspect of its governance.

3C. Subsidiaries. The attached Schedule C correctly sets forth and describes the jurisdiction of each Company Subsidiary’s formation, and a list of each Person that owns the Equity Interests of each such Company Subsidiary (including the percentage of Equity Interests owned by each such Person).

6C. Limitations on Indemnification.

(i) Basket. With respect to any Purchaser, the Purchaser Indemnitees associated with such Purchaser shall not have the right to be indemnified pursuant to Section 6B(i)(a) unless and until such Purchaser Indemnitees shall have incurred on a cumulative basis aggregate Losses of at least 1% of the portion of Closing Payment attributable to such Purchaser on Appendix A (the “Basket”), in which event the right to be indemnified shall apply only to the amount of Losses in excess of the Basket; provided, however, that the Basket shall not apply to claims based on Fraud or a breach of a Company Fundamental Representation.

(ii) Indemnity Caps. The sum of all Losses pursuant to which indemnification is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 6B(i)(a) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, 10% of the Closing Payment and the sum of all Losses pursuant to which indemnification is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 6B(i)(a) shall not exceed, with respect to the Purchaser Indemnitees associated with any Purchaser, in the aggregate, 10% of the portion of the Closing Payment attributable to such Purchaser on Appendix A; provided, however, that the limitations in this sentence shall not apply to any claim based on Fraud or breach of a Company Fundamental Representation. The sum of all Losses pursuant to which indemnification is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 6B shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Closing Payment.

(iii) Knowledge Savings. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, and Purchasers’ rights to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser (including by any of its advisors, consultants or representatives) or by reason of the fact that any Purchaser or any of such advisors, consultants or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate. The Company acknowledges that, regardless of any investigation or due diligence inquiry conducted by or on behalf of any Purchaser, and regardless of the results of any such investigation or inquiry, the Purchasers have entered into this Agreement in express reliance upon the representations and warranties of the Company made in this Agreement.

(iv) Damages Exclusions. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that there shall be no indemnification by an Indemnifying Party for any (a) special, (b) punitive, (c) exemplary or (d) other damages that are not the natural, probable and reasonably foreseeable result of the act or event giving rise to the Loss, other than to the extent any damages referenced in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d) are paid or payable to a third party claimant.

(v) No Duplication of Recovery. Any Loss under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to the Loss constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(vi) For purposes of indemnification under this Article 6, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualification, and without regard to any qualification or requirement that a matter be or not be “reasonably expected” to occur, contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

29

6D. Indemnification Procedures.

(i) Any Indemnified Person shall promptly (and, in any event, within 30 days of a third party claim) notify the applicable Indemnifying Party in writing of any pending or threatened claim or demand that the Indemnified Person has determined would reasonably be expected to give rise to such right of indemnification (including a pending or threatened claim or demand asserted by a third party against the Indemnified Person), specifying in reasonable detail the nature and basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of the amount thereof, to the extent known (such notice, an “Indemnification Notice”); provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article 6 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure; provided further that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement must be delivered prior to the expiration of the applicable Survival Period.

(ii) Upon receipt of an Indemnification Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter as long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same diligently and in good faith. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle the matter described in the applicable Indemnification Notice, it shall promptly, and in no event later than 10 days after receipt of the Indemnification Notice, notify the Indemnified Person of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Person shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in all commercially reasonable respects in the defense thereof and the settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records and other information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party and in the Indemnified Person’s possession or control. Such cooperation of the Indemnified Person shall be at the cost of the Indemnifying Party. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Person of its intent to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability; provided, however, that the Indemnified Person shall be entitled (a) at its expense, to participate in the defense of such asserted liability and the negotiations of the settlement thereof and (b) if (1) the Indemnifying Party has, within 10 Business Days of receipt of an Indemnification Notice involving a third party claim (other than a claim by a Governmental Entity with respect to Taxes) failed (x) to assume the defense or employ counsel or (y) to notify the Indemnified Person of such assumption or (2) if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and counsel to the Indemnified Person shall have concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Person that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if the interests of the Indemnified Person reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Person shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any indemnified claim without the consent of the Indemnified Person, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete release from liability of, and does not include any admission of wrongdoing or malfeasance by, the Indemnified Person.

30

6E. Tax Treatment. Any payment in respect of indemnification pursuant to this Section 6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Payment for U.S. federal and applicable state, local and non-U.S. Tax purposes to the extent permitted by Law.

6F. Exclusive Remedy. The rights of the Purchaser Indemnitees under this Section 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchasers and the other Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to claims under this Agreement or otherwise relating to the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement.

Section 7. Covenants; Miscellaneous Provisions.

7A. Press Release and Announcements. Unless required by Law, no press releases or other releases of information related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) will be issued or released without the prior written consent of the Company or (ii) will expressly identify any Party (or any of its Affiliates) by name without such Party’s prior written consent; provided, that each Party shall be permitted to disclose information related to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (a) to such Party’s (or to such Party’s Affiliates’) advisors, employees, insurers, officers, directors, limited partners, equity owners, prospective investors, financing sources, accountants and consultants so long as such Persons are apprised of the confidential nature thereof, and (b) in response to a routine request by a regulatory or self-regulatory authority, or in connection with a routine audit or examination by a bank examiner or auditor.

7B. Consent to Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, or any provision of this Agreement may be waived, only if set forth in a writing executed by the Company; provided, however, that no amendment to this Agreement shall materially and disproportionately adversely affect any Purchaser without the prior written consent of such Purchaser. No course of dealing between or among the Parties shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement.

7C. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all of the covenants and agreements contained herein and all of the rights, interests and obligations hereunder, by or on behalf of any of the Parties hereto, shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Parties hereto whether so expressed or not. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither this Agreement nor any of the covenants and agreements herein or rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by any Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company.

31

7D. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be held to be prohibited by, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law in any respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or illegality or unenforceability, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement and such court will replace such illegal, void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the same economic, business and other purposes of the illegal, void or unenforceable provision. The balance of this Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

7E. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in counterparts (and such counterparts may be delivered by means of facsimile or electronic transmission), any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one Party, and each counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

7F. Descriptive Headings; Interpretation. The headings and captions used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The use of the word “including” herein shall mean “including without limitation.” The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant. Any reference in this Agreement to a document or other item of information having been “made available” means such document or other item of information was provided or made available to each Purchaser or its representatives in the electronic data room to which such Purchaser and its representatives have been provided access in connection herewith. Any reference to any agreement or document is to that agreement or document as amended, novated, supplemented or replaced from time to time. Any reference to any statute includes reference to such statute as amended or modified from time to time and includes any effecting rules or regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent that any threshold in Section 3 is stated in United States dollars but is used in reference to an asset that is denominated in another currency (e.g., material contracts with payment obligations stated in Euros or Sterling), the Parties intend to apply the same exchange rate, with respect to any such currency, as used in the December 31, 2020 Financial Statements.

7G. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Disclosure Schedules, and the other Transaction Documents contain the entire agreement and understanding among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to such subject matter in any way.

32

7H. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except for Section 6 (with respect to the Purchaser Indemnitees and the Company Indemnitees) and Section 7O (with respect to the Non-Recourse Parties), this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the Parties and such successors and permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder.

7I. Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, negotiation, performance, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) and the Schedules and Exhibits hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of New York shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
