WHEREAS, the Company and the Sponsor Shareholder are parties to the Sponsor Shareholders Agreement (Warburg Pincus), dated as of November 9, 2015, as amended on July 11, 2016 (the "Sponsor Shareholders' Agreement"); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of and subject to the mutual agreements, terms and conditions herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
Section 1.Termination. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Sponsor Shareholders' Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder, is hereby terminated, effective immediately, and shall be null and void and no longer of any force or effect; provided, however, that (A) the provisions of Section 4.02, Section 4.03, Article VI and, as it relates to the foregoing provisions, Article I of the Sponsor Shareholders' Agreement shall survive the termination of the Sponsor Shareholders' Agreement and remain valid and binding obligations of the parties in accordance with their terms, and (B) such termination shall not relieve any party from any liability with respect to breaches of the Sponsor Shareholders' Agreement prior to such termination.

Section 3.Further Assurances. In connection with this Agreement, the Company and the Sponsor Shareholder shall execute and deliver any additional documents and instruments and perform any additional acts that the Sponsor Shareholder reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and perform the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 4.Miscellaneous.
4.1 Governing Law. This Agreement and any dispute arising out of, relating to or in connection with this Agreement, shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions thereof that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
4.2 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court located in Wilmington, Delaware (or, if the Delaware Chancery Court declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware) and any appellate court therefrom for any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement (and each party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to the address set forth in Section 6.02 of the Sponsor Shareholders' Agreement shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding brought against it in any such court, provided that nothing in this Section 4.2 shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law). Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any proceeding arising out of this Agreement in any court specified in the immediately preceding sentence, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
