The Adviser has complete and unlimited discretion and authority with respect to the investment and voting power of the securities held directly by or held for the benefit of the Funds.

Solely as a result of their ownership interest in (i) the general partners of the Funds and (ii) the Funds, Felix J. Baker and Julian C.

8. The Adviser has voting and dispositive power over the Share Options, RSUs and any ADS or Ordinary Shares received as a result of the exercise of Share Options or vesting of RSUs.
