(d) In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party, upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the reasonably incurred and documented fees and disbursements of such counsel

related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the reasonably incurred and documented fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel; (ii) the indemnifying party has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; (iii) the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party; or (iv) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonably incurred and documented fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties and that all such reasonably incurred and documented fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as they are incurred. Such firm shall be designated in writing by the Underwriter, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), or by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 10(c). The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonably incurred and documented fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement admitting fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(e) To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 10(a), 10(b) or 10(c) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu of indemnifying such

indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand from the offering of the Shares or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 10(e)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause 10(e)(i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and of the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand in connection with the offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares (before deducting expenses) received by the Selling Shareholders and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate Purchase Price of the Shares. The relative fault of the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand and the Underwriter on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Selling Shareholders or by the Underwriter and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, the liability of each Selling Shareholder under Section 10(b) and (e) above shall in no event exceed the amount of such Selling Shareholders’ net proceeds (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions but before deducting any other expenses) from its sale of Shares in the Offering.

(g) The Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriter agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 10 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriter were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 10(e). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 10(e) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, the Underwriter shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriter with respect to the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages that the Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or

omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The remedies provided for in this Section 10 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

(h) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 10 and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Selling Shareholders contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of the Underwriter, any person controlling the Underwriter or any affiliate of the Underwriter, any Selling Shareholder or any person controlling any Selling Shareholder or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Shares.

11. Termination. The Underwriter may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Underwriter to the Company, the Selling Shareholders, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date, as the case may be, (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, the New York Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Global Market, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States or England and Wales shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State or relevant foreign country authorities or (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, or any change in financial markets, or any calamity or crisis that, in the Underwriter’s judgment, is material and adverse and which, individually or together with any other event specified in this clause (v), makes it, in the Underwriter’s judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

12. Effectiveness; Default. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Underwriter because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or any Selling Shareholder to comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Company or any Selling Shareholder shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as applicable, will reimburse the Underwriter for all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) reasonably incurred by the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder.

13. Entire Agreement. (a) This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Shares, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Selling Shareholders on the one hand, and the Underwriter on the other, with respect to the preparation of any preliminary prospectus, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Shares.

(b) The Selling Shareholders and the Company each acknowledge that in connection with the offering of the Shares: (i) the Underwriter has acted at arm’s length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Selling Shareholders or the Company or any other person, (ii) the Underwriter owes the Selling Shareholders and the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, (iii) the Underwriter may have interests that differ from those of the Selling Shareholders and the Company, (iv) the Underwriter is not advising the Selling Shareholders or the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction, and (v) none of the activities of the Underwriter in connection with the transactions contemplated herein constitutes a recommendation, investment advice, or solicitation of any action by the Underwriter with respect to any entity or natural person. The Selling Shareholders and the Company waive to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims they may have against the Underwriter arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Shares.

(c) Each Selling Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriter may provide certain Selling Shareholders with certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation in connection with the offering, the Underwriter is not making a recommendation to any Selling Shareholder to participate in the offering or sell any Shares at the Purchase Price, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.

14. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that the Underwriter is a Covered Entity and becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from the Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

(b) In the event that (i) the Underwriter (if it is a Covered Entity) or (ii) a BHC Act Affiliate of the Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against the Underwriter are permitted to be exercised to no

greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.

For purposes of this Section a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

15. Counterparts; Electronic Signature. This Agreement may be signed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Delivery of an executed Agreement by one party to the other may be made by facsimile, electronic mail or other transmission method as permitted by applicable law, and the parties hereto agree that any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes. A party’s electronic signature (complying with the New York Electronic Signatures and Records Act (N.Y. State Tech. §§ 301-309), as amended from time to time, or other applicable law) of this Agreement shall have the same validity and effect as a signature affixed by the party’s hand.

16. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York.

17. Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed a part of this Agreement.

19. Submission to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Agents for Service. (a) The Company and the Selling Shareholders irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or United States Federal court sitting in The City of New York (the “Specified Courts”) over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Prospectus, the Registration Statement or the offering of the Shares (each, a “Related Proceeding”). The Company and the Selling Shareholders irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Related Proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that any such Related Proceeding brought in such a court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. To the extent that the Company and the Selling Shareholders have or hereafter may acquire any immunity (on the grounds of sovereignty or otherwise) from the jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process with respect to itself or its property, the Company irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, such immunity in respect of any such suit, action or proceeding.

(b) (i) The Company hereby irrevocably appoints CT Corporation System, with offices at 208 South LaSalle Street, Suite 814, Chicago, Illinois 60604, as its agent for service of process in any Related Proceeding and agrees that service of process in any such Related Proceeding may be made upon it at such office; and (ii) the Selling Shareholders hereby irrevocably appoint Corporate Creations Network, with offices at 99 Hudson Street, 5^th Floor, New York, New York 10013, as their agent for service of process in any Related Proceeding and agree that service of process in any such Related Proceeding may be made upon them at the office of such agent. The Company and the Selling Shareholders waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other requirements of or objections to personal jurisdiction with respect thereto. The Selling Shareholders represent and warrant that such agent has agreed to act as the Selling Shareholders’ agent for service of process, and the Selling Shareholders agree to take any and all action, including the filing of any and all documents and instruments, that may be necessary to continue such appointment in full force and effect.

20. Judgment Currency. If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder into any currency other than United States dollars, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Underwriter could purchase United States dollars with such other currency in The City of New York on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Company and the Selling Shareholders with

respect to any sum due from them to the Underwriter or any person controlling the Underwriter shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than United States dollars, not be discharged until the first business day following receipt by the Underwriter or controlling person of any sum in such other currency, and only to the extent that the Underwriter or controlling person may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase United States dollars with such other currency. If the United States dollars so purchased are less than the sum originally due to the Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, the Company and the Selling Shareholders agree as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Underwriter or controlling person against such loss. If the United States dollars so purchased are greater than the sum originally due to the Underwriter or controlling person hereunder, the Underwriter or controlling person agrees to pay to the Company and the Selling Shareholders an amount equal to the excess of the dollars so purchased over the sum originally due to the Underwriter or controlling person hereunder.

21. Taxes. (a) If any sum payable by the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders under this Agreement is subject to tax in the hands of the Underwriter or taken into account as a receipt in computing the taxable income of that Underwriter (excluding net income taxes on underwriting commissions payable under, or in connection with, this Agreement or the matters contemplated hereunder), the relevant payer shall increase the sum payable to the Underwriter under this Agreement to such sum as will ensure that the Underwriter shall be left with the sum it would have had in the absence of such tax. (b) Where the Company and the Selling Shareholders are obliged to pay any fee, commission or other sum to the Underwriter in connection with this Agreement and any amount of value added, sales, turnover or similar tax (“VAT”) is properly charged on it, the relevant payer shall (except where the reverse charge procedure applies), in addition to that payment, pay an amount equal to the VAT, subject to receipt, where applicable, of a valid VAT invoice. Where, pursuant to this Agreement, a sum is paid by the Company and/or the Selling Shareholders to the Underwriter by way of reimbursement of a cost, charge or expense, the relevant payer shall also pay to such payee in respect of VAT, an amount equal to any VAT charged to the payee in respect of that cost, charge or expense and which such payee determines is not recoverable by the payee (or the representative member of its VAT group) by repayment or credit.

[FORM OF LOCK-UP LETTER]

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC

c/o 383 Madison Avenue

New York, New York 10179

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The undersigned understands that J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Underwriter”) proposes to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Cushman & Wakefield plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the “Company”), and certain selling shareholders named in Schedule I of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Selling Shareholders”) providing for the public offering (the “Public Offering”) by the Underwriter of ordinary shares, nominal value $0.10 per share (the “Shares”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

To induce the Underwriter to continue its efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, it will not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing until, and including, the date that is 30 days after the date of the final prospectus supplement (the “Restricted Period”) relating to the Public Offering (the “Prospectus”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or publicly announce its intention to enter into any such transaction, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Shares, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to:

(a)

the Shares to be sold in the Public Offering,

(b)

transactions relating to Shares or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering, provided that no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with subsequent sales of Shares or other securities acquired in such open market transactions,

(c)

(i) transfers of Shares or any security convertible into Shares as a bona fide gift, (ii) transfers of Shares as a result of the operation of law through estate, other testamentary document or intestate succession, (iii) transfers of Shares to any immediate family member of the undersigned or any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or any immediate family member of the undersigned (for purposes of this letter, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin) or (iv) the transfer of Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement,

(d)

if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership or other business entity, distributions or transfers of Shares or any security convertible into Shares to limited partners, general partners, members, nominees or shareholders of the undersigned or its direct or indirect affiliates or other entities controlled or managed by the undersigned not involving a disposition for value,

(e)

if permitted by the Company, the establishment of or amendment to a written trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (a “Plan”) for the transfer of Shares, provided that any required public disclosure of such establishment, amendment or existence of such Plan made during the Restricted Period shall include a statement that the undersigned is not permitted to transfer Shares under such trading plan during the Restricted Period in accordance with this letter,

(f)

sales pursuant to a Plan established before the date of the Prospectus,

(g)

the exercise or settlement of stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards pursuant to any plan or agreement granting such an award to an employee or other service provider of the Company or its affiliates (and any related transfer to the Company of Shares necessary to generate such amount of cash needed for the payment of taxes, including estimated taxes, due as a result of such settlement or exercise whether by means of a “net settlement” or otherwise), or

(h)

transfers of Shares to the Company in connection with the repurchase by the Company pursuant to a management stockholders agreement or other agreement in effect as of the date hereof and pursuant to which such Shares were issued or are subject,

provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (c) or (d), each transferee or distributee shall sign and deliver to the Underwriter a lock-up letter substantially in the form of this letter if it has not previously done so; and provided, further, that in the case of any transfer, sale or distribution pursuant to clause (c) through (h), no filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, reporting a reduction in beneficial ownership of Shares, shall be required or shall be voluntarily made during the Restricted Period, other than:

a filing made on Form 4 solely in connection with transfers described in clause (c)(i) above, which shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto the nature of such transfer;

ii.

a filing made on Form 4 solely in connection with sales described in clause (f) above, which shall specify that such sale was made pursuant to a Plan entered into on a date before the date of the Prospectus;

iii.

a filing made on Form 4 solely in connection with transfers described in clause (g) above, which shall specify in such Form 4 that (a) the exercise or settlement of stock options, restricted stock units or other equity awards or (b) the related transfer to the Company of Shares, in each case as applicable, that required such filing of a Form 4, was (x) deemed to occur upon the cashless exercise of such securities or (y) for the purpose of paying the exercise price of such securities or for paying taxes (including estimated taxes) due as a result of the exercise of such exercises, as applicable, and in the case of clause (g) above, was a transfer to the Company; or

iv.

a filing on Form 5 made after the expiration of the Restricted Period.

In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares. The undersigned also agrees and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of the undersigned’s Shares except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

The undersigned understands that the Company and the Underwriter are relying upon this agreement in proceeding toward consummation of the Public Offering. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

This letter shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of New York. The undersigned agrees that any suit or proceeding arising in respect of this agreement will be tried exclusively in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York or, if that court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court located in the City and County of New York and the undersigned agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of, and to venue in, such courts.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Underwriter has not provided any recommendation or investment advice nor has the Underwriter solicited any action from the undersigned with respect to the Public Offering of the Shares and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Underwriter may provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures or other related documentation to you in connection with the Public Offering, the Underwriter is not making a recommendation to you to participate in the Public Offering or sell any Shares at the price determined in the Public Offering, and nothing set forth in such disclosures or documentation is intended to suggest that the Underwriter is making such a recommendation.

Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to negotiation among the Company, the Selling Shareholders and the Underwriter.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this letter will automatically terminate and the undersigned will be released from all of his, her or its obligations hereunder upon the earliest to occur, if any, of (i) prior to the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, either the Company on the one hand, or the Underwriter on the other hand, advises the other in writing that it has determined not to proceed with the Public Offering, (ii) the withdrawal of the Registration Statement on Form S-3 related to the Public Offering, (iii) the Underwriting Agreement is executed but is terminated (other than the provisions thereof which survive termination) prior to payment for and delivery of the Shares to be sold thereunder, or (iv) May 31, 2024, in the event that the Underwriting Agreement has not been executed by such date; provided, however, that the Company may, by written notice to the undersigned prior to such date, extend such date for a period of up to three additional months.
