1.Definitions

 

Unless otherwise specifically defined herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them under the Original Consortium Agreement.

 

 

 

 

2.Amendments to the Original Consortium Agreement

 

2.1           An updated Part II of Schedule B to the Consortium Agreement is attached as Annex A hereto reflecting (i) in subpart (A) thereof the Equity Contributions (including Rollover Securities) and Contemplated Ownership Percentages of the Parties immediately prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Centurium SPAs and (ii) in subpart (B) thereof the Equity Contributions (including Rollover Securities) and Contemplated Ownership Percentages of the Parties immediately after the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Centurium SPAs.

 

2.2           Without prejudice to the other provisions of the Consortium Agreement, Centurium, as a representative authorized by the Initial Consortium Members, may, without further action by any other Party, update Schedule B to the Consortium Agreement from time to time to reflect (i) any Transfer of Covered Securities between any existing or future members of the Buyer Consortium or their respective Affiliates permitted under the Consortium Agreement or (ii) any Transfer or acquisition of Covered Securities permitted under the Consortium Agreement (including Section 4.4(a) thereof); provided that (x) the amount of the Equity Contribution (including the number of Rollover Securities) of any Party shall not be changed without the prior consent of such Party; and (y) Centurium, as a representative authorized by the Initial Consortium Members, shall distribute a copy of the updated Schedule B to each Party promptly following each such update. All the references to “Centurium” under the Consortium Agreement shall include Beachhead, Double Double, Point Forward and any of their respective Affiliates who becomes a party to the Consortium Agreement.

 

2.3           Notwithstanding anything in the Consortium Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the sale and purchase of Ordinary Shares contemplated by any Centurium SPA fails to be consummated for any reason, other than as a result of any breach by the relevant Other Purchaser that is a party to such Centurium SPA, at the request of such Other Purchaser, Centurium and such Other Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith to take such reasonable actions such that the Equity Contribution of such Other Purchaser (including, to the extent applicable, its Rollover Securities) reflects its Contemplated Ownership Percentage as set forth opposite its name in the column titled “Contemplated Ownership Percentage” in subpart (B) of Part II of Schedule B attached hereto as Annex A.

 

2.4           The definition of “Permitted Transfer” set forth in Section 11.1(ccc) of the Original Consortium Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

““Permitted Transfer” means a Transfer of Covered Securities by a Party to (i) an Affiliate of such Party which is Controlled by such Party, (ii) a member of such Party’s immediate family or a trust for the benefit of such Party’s or any member of such Party’s immediate family, (iii) any heir, legatees, beneficiaries and/or devisees of such Party, (iv) if such Party is Centurium, CITIC, Hillhouse or Temasek, to any Affiliate of such Party, any of the investment funds managed or advised by such Party or any of its Affiliates, or any of the investment vehicles of such Party, such Affiliate or such fund or (v) another Party or any Affiliate of another Party; provided that, in each case, such transferee agrees to execute, prior to or concurrently with such Transfer, a Deed of Adherence in the form attached hereto as Schedule C, except in the event such transferee is already a Party.”
