RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Original Parties entered into a Purchase Agreement dated as of December 19, 2019, as amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of February 12, 2020 (as amended, supplemented, or modified, the “Agreement”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 10.6 of the Agreement, the Purchaser is permitted to assign its rights and delegate all or any part of its obligations under the Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates (as defined in the Agreement), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, subject to the terms hereof, the Purchaser desires to assign to Intermediate Holdco all of its rights, title and interest in the Agreement, and Intermediate Holdco is willing to assume and accept all of the Purchaser’s rights, title and interest in the Agreement (the “Assignment”); and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into this Amendment to memorialize and effectuate the Assignment and to amend certain provisions of the Agreement, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1.
Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.
2.
Amendment to Section 1.1. The following definitions in Section 1.1 of the Agreement are amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
  “Base Cash Consideration” means $415,000,000; provided, however, that, immediately prior to the Closing, the Purchaser may, following good faith and reasonable best efforts to cooperate with the Sellers to reduce or eliminate the necessity of such a reduction including by seeking additional funds, reduce such amount by the amount necessary, up to a maximum of $20,000,000, to permit the representation set forth in Section 4.15(d) (as amended and restated by the Amendment) to be correct as of Closing; provided, further, that, any such reduction will result in a dollar-for-dollar increase for the Purchaser Ordinary Shares Consideration.
  “Purchaser Ordinary Shares Consideration” means the number of Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the higher of (1) 2,500,000 or (2) the quotient of (x) the sum of $25,000,000 plus amount, if any, by which the Base Cash Consideration is reduced by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms of the definition of “Base Cash Consideration, divided by (y) the lowest per share price at which Class A Ordinary Shares are sold by the Purchaser to any Person from and after the date hereof but prior to, at or in connection with the Closing.

3.
Assignment and Assumption of Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Purchaser hereby assigns all of its right, title and interest in and to the Agreement to Intermediate Holdco, and Intermediate Holdco hereby accepts the assignment and assumes all of the Purchaser’s right, title and interest in the Agreement from and after the date hereof, such that at the Closing, Intermediate Holdco shall acquire all of the Transferred Equity Interests and accept the Transferred Assets and Liabilities. For avoidance of doubt, the Assignment and the transactions contemplated thereby shall not release the Purchaser from any liability or obligation under the Agreement.
4.
Effect of the Amendment. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Agreement are and will remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed by the Parties. On and after the date hereof, each reference in the Agreement to “this Agreement,” “the Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import, and each reference to the Agreement in any other agreements, documents, or instruments executed and delivered pursuant to, or in connection with, the Agreement, will mean and be a reference to the Agreement as amended by this Amendment and as previously amended by Amendment No. 1 dated as of February 12, 2020.

(b)
The headings in this Amendment are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.
