As provided in Section 1 hereof, the Underwriters will take delivery of the Shares in the form of ADSs. The ADSs shall be evidenced by American Depositary Receipts (the “ADRs”) issued pursuant to a Deposit Agreement dated as of October 17, 2018 (the “Deposit Agreement”) among the Company, Deustche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Depositary (the “Depositary”), and the owners and holders from time to time of the American Depositary Shares issued under the Deposit Agreement. Each ADS will initially represent the right to receive four Ordinary Shares deposited pursuant to the Deposit Agreement.

If the sale to the Underwriters of the Offered ADSs, as contemplated by this Agreement, is not carried out by the Underwriters for any reason permitted under this Agreement, or if such sale is not carried out because the Company shall be unable to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall not be under any obligation or liability under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Sections 5(v) and 10 hereof), and the Underwriters shall be under no obligation or liability to the Company under this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 10 hereof) or to one another hereunder.

33

EXECUTION VERSION

(c) If any action, suit or proceeding (including any governmental investigation) (each, a “Proceeding”) is brought against a person (an “indemnified party”) in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company Parties or an Underwriter (as applicable, the “indemnifying party”) pursuant to subsection (a) or (b), respectively, of this Section 10, such indemnified party shall promptly notify such indemnifying party in writing of the institution of such Proceeding and such indemnifying party shall assume the defense of such Proceeding, including the retention of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and pay all legal or other fees and expenses reasonably incurred related to such Proceeding or reasonably incurred in connection with such indemnified party’s enforcement of subsection of (a) or (b), respectively, of this Section 10; provided, however, that the omission to so notify such indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability that such indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party unless such omission results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses. The indemnified party or parties shall have the right to retain its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party or parties unless (i) the retention of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party in connection with the defense of such Proceeding, (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have, within a reasonable period of time in light of the circumstances, retained counsel to defend such Proceeding or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which case such indemnifying party shall not have the right to direct the defense of such Proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses of counsel reasonably incurred by the indemnified parties shall be borne by such indemnifying party and paid as incurred (it being understood, however, that such indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees or expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in any one Proceeding or series of related Proceedings in the same jurisdiction representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such Proceeding). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent but, if settled with its written consent, such indemnifying party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party or parties from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second sentence of this Section 10(c), then the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 60 business days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have fully reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement and (iii) such indemnified party shall have given the indemnifying party at least 30 days’ prior notice of its intention to settle. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding and does not include an admission of fault or culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such indemnified party.

34

EXECUTION VERSION

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 10 is unavailable to an indemnified party under subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 10 or insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims referred to therein, then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Underwriters from the sale of the Offered ADSs, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company Parties and the Underwriters in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, damages, expenses, liabilities or claims, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company Parties and the Underwriters shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Offered ADSs (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Offered ADSs issued in respect of the ADSs. The relative fault of the Company Parties and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission relates to information supplied by the Company Parties or by the Underwriters and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10(d) are several in proportion to the respective number of Shares they have purchased hereunder, and not joint. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, damages, expenses, liabilities and claims referred to in this subsection shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any Proceeding.

(e) The Company Parties and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in subsection (d) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 10(d) 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 10, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the purchase price at which the Offered ADSs underwritten by such Underwriter and distributed to the public were purchased by such Underwriter pursuant to Section 1 exceeds the amount of any damage which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity. The Underwriters’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10 are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.

EXECUTION VERSION

(f) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 10 and the covenants, warranties and representations of the Company Parties contained in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or their respective partners, agents, directors, officers or members or any person (including each partner, officer, director or member of such person) who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, or by or on behalf of the Company, its directors or officers or any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the delivery of the Offered ADSs to be sold pursuant hereto. The Company Parties and each Underwriter agree promptly to notify each other of the commencement of any Proceeding against it and, in the case of the Company Parties, against any of their respective officers or directors in connection with the issuance and sale of the Offered ADSs, or in connection with the Registration Statement, any Pre-Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.

The section headings in this Agreement have been inserted as a matter of convenience of reference and are not a part of this Agreement.

15. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company Parties hereby irrevocably designate Cogency Global Inc., as agent upon whom process against the Company Parties may be served.

In addition, the Company has granted to the Underwriters an option to purchase up to an additional 4,312,500 ADSs. The additional 4,312,500 ADSs to be sold by the Company pursuant to such option are collectively called the “Optional ADSs”.

Ex. A-1

EXECUTION VERSION

In order to induce you to enter into the Underwriting Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, for a period (the “Lock-Up Period”) beginning on the date hereof and ending on, and including, the date that is 180 days after the date of the prospectus relating to the Offering, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., the designated representative of the Underwriters (the “Designated Representative”), (i) offer, sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the Commission in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to, any ADSs or the underlying shares or any other securities of the Company Parties that are substantially similar to ADSs or the underlying shares, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any warrants or other rights to purchase, the foregoing (including without limitation, ADSs or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Commission) (collectively, the “Locked-Up Shares”), (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of ADSs or the underlying shares, any other securities of the Company Parties that are substantially similar to ADS or the underlying shares, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for, or any warrants or other rights to purchase, the foregoing, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of ADS or the underlying shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). The Underwriters confirm that each holder who holds an equity interest in the Company at the time immediately prior to the listing of the Offered ADSs has entered into a lock-up agreement on terms substantially similar to those contained herein.

The foregoing paragraph shall not apply to (a) the registration of the offer and sale of ADSs or the underlying shares as contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the sale of the ADSs or the underlying shares to the Underwriters in the Offering, (b) bona fide gifts, (c) dispositions to any trust or other legal entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or the immediate family of the undersigned, (d) direct or indirect transfers to another corporation, partnership or other business entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the undersigned or to partners, members or shareholders of the undersigned, (e) transfers by will or intestate succession upon the death of the undersigned, (f) transfers by operation of law or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, (g) transfers by surrender or forfeiture of ADSs or the underlying shares or other securities of the Company to the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations upon exercise or vesting, (h) transactions relating to shares of ADSs or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of ADSs or other securities acquired in such open market transactions, or (i) exchanges of Participation Interest (as defined in the Participation Agreement by and among the Company Parties and New Cotai, LLC (the “Participation Agreement”)) for Ordinary Shares (and the cancellation of a corresponding number of Class B ordinary shares) pursuant to the Participation Agreement, provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clause (b), (c), (d) or (e), (i) each donee or transferee shall sign and deliver a lock up letter substantially in the form of this Lock-Up Agreement with a lock-up period that terminates no later than the expiration date of the Lock-Up Period and (ii) no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of shares of Offered ADSs, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Lock-Up Period. Also, this Lock-Up Agreement shall not apply to the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of ADSs or Shares, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of ADSs or Shares during the Lock-Up Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or the Company regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of ADSs or Shares may be made under such plan during the Lock-Up Period. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean the undersigned and the spouse, any lineal descendent, father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned.

Ex. A-2

EXECUTION VERSION

The undersigned further agrees that, for the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of the Designated Representative, make any demand for, or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of ADS or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Offered ADS, or warrants or other rights to purchase ADS or any such securities that would result in a public filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act during the Lock-Up Period.

The undersigned hereby authorizes the Company and its transfer agent, during the Lock-Up Period, to decline the transfer of or to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to the Offered ADS or other securities subject to this Lock-Up Agreement of which the undersigned is the record holder, and, with respect to the Offered ADS or other securities subject to this Lock-Up Agreement of which the undersigned is the beneficial owner but not the record holder, the undersigned hereby agrees to cause such record holder to authorize the Company and its transfer agent, during the Lock-Up Period, to decline the transfer of or to note stop transfer restrictions on the stock register and other records relating to such shares or other securities, in each case, except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, (i) the Underwriters agree that, at least five business days before the effective date of any release or waiver of the foregoing restrictions in connection with a transfer of shares of Offered ADSs, the Designated Representative will notify the Company of the impending release or waiver, and (ii) the Company agrees in the Underwriting Agreement to announce the impending release or waiver by press release through a major news service at least two business days before the effective date of the release or waiver. Any release or waiver granted by the Underwriters hereunder to any such officer or director shall only be effective two business days after the publication date of such press release. The provisions of this paragraph will not apply if (a) the release or waiver is effected solely to permit a transfer not for consideration and (b) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Lock-Up Agreement to the extent and for the duration that such terms remain in effect at the time of the transfer.

Ex. A-3

EXECUTION VERSION

The undersigned understands that the Company Parties and the Underwriters are relying upon this Lock-Up Agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this Lock-Up Agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation between the Company Parties and the Underwriters.

If the Designated Representative grants any discretionary waiver, release or termination of any of the restrictions (each, a “Lock-Up Waiver”) applicable to any party subject to a lock-up agreement, other than the Company (each, a “Lock-Up Party”) then a substantively identical Lock-Up Waiver shall be deemed to apply to the undersigned’s Locked-Up Shares on a pro rata basis based on the portion of the Lock-Up Parties’ Locked-Up Shares that were granted the Lock-Up Waiver; provided that such pro rata waiver, release or termination shall be in the same manner and on the same terms (including with respect to any conditions or provisos that apply to such waiver or termination) from such restriction.

*    *    *

Upon the earlier of (i) the Company notifying you in writing that it does not intend to proceed with the Public Offering, (ii) the withdrawal of the registration statement filed with the Commission with respect to the Public Offering, (iii) the termination of the Underwriting Agreement for any reason prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), and (iv) the occurrence of an IPO Cut-off Date (as defined in the Implementation Agreement, dated as of September 6, 2018, by and among the Company, MCE Cotai Investments Limited, Melco Resorts & Entertainment Limited and New Cotai, LLC), this Lock-Up Agreement shall be terminated and the undersigned shall be released from its obligations hereunder.

Yours very truly,

FORM OF CERTIFICATE OF PROPERTY CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

[•], 2018

I, Timothy Nauss, acting in my capacity as the Property Chief Financial Officer of Studio City International Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands company (the “Company”), not individually, have been asked to deliver this certificate to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. International plc, as underwriters (the “Underwriters”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), dated October 17, 2018, by and among the Company, MSC Cotai Limited and the Underwriters named in the Underwriting Agreement.

I am providing this certificate in connection with the sale by the Company of an aggregate of 28,750,000 American Depositary Shares (“ADSs”), each representing four ordinary shares, par value US$.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Firm ADSs”) of the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form F-1, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Registration Statement”) as described in the preliminary prospectus dated October 9, 2018 contained therein (the “Preliminary Prospectus”) and the final prospectus dated October 17, 2018 (the “Final Prospectus”).

I or members of my staff under my supervision who are responsible for the Company’s financial accounting and operational matters have carried out procedures as I have deemed appropriate to provide reasonable assurance that the circled data (“Company Data”) included in the attached Exhibit A, which are included in the Registration Statement, the Preliminary Prospectus and the Final Prospectus, are consistent with the records of the Company. I am familiar with the processes by which the Company has generated and compiled the Company Data, and, where I deemed appropriate, have consulted with those employees of the Company responsible for generating and compiling the Company Data. Nothing has come to my attention that has caused me to believe that the Company Data were not and are not, at the date of the Prospectus and the Applicable Time (both as defined in the Underwriting Agreement), and, as of the data hereof, are not true or accurate in all material respects consistent with the records of the Company.

This certificate is being furnished to the Underwriters, relating to the public offering of the Firm ADSs, solely to assist it in conducting their investigation of the Company and its subsidiaries in connection with the public offering of the Firm ADSs. This certificate shall not be used, quoted or otherwise referred to without the prior written consent of the Company other than in connection with any matter arising out of such review.
