HNA Eagle has agreed to for the period from signing to closing (i) not sell any of the Ordinary Shares of the Issuer that it directly holds, (ii) vote its remaining shares in accordance with instructions from Paulson and (iii) not take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause any “moratorium”, “control share”, “fair price”, “takeover” or “interested stockholder” Law (as defined in the Share Purchase Agreement II) to become applicable to the Share Purchase Agreement II.
