Co-Sale Rights (a) In the event any Member (for purposes of this Section 11.15, the “Selling Member”) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of its Units (for purposes of this Section 11.15, the “Co-Sale Units”) other than pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, the Selling Member shall deliver a written notice (the “Co-Sale Notice”) to each other Member (each, a “Co-Sale Offeree”) at least thirty (30) days prior to making such Transfer describing the general terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including the purchase price for the Co-Sale Units, the proposed purchaser(s), the closing date for the sale and the portion of the Selling Member’s Units to be Transferred (the “Co-Sale Participation Percentage”). Each Co-Sale Offeree may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer at the same price and on the same terms and conditions by delivering written notice to the Selling Member within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Co-Sale Notice, which notice shall specify the percentage of its Units that such Co-Sale Offeree desires to include in such proposed Transfer, provided that such percentage shall not exceed the Co-Sale Participation Percentage. If a Co-Sale Offeree does not give such notice prior to the expiration of the fifteen (15)-day period for giving such notice, then the Selling Member may Transfer the Co-Sale Units to any Person on terms and conditions that are no more favorable to the Selling Member than those set forth in the Co-Sale Notice at any time within ninety (90) days after expiration of such fifteen (15)-day period for giving notice (provided, that if any governmental or other third party approval is required with respect to such Transfer, then such period shall be extended until a reasonable time after such approvals are obtained). Any Co-Sale Units not Transferred by the Selling Member during such ninety (90)-day period (as such period may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence) shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.15 prior to any subsequent Transfer.
(b) To the extent that one or more Co-Sale Offerees exercises its right of participation pursuant to Section 11.15(a), then, at the Selling Member’s option, either the percentage of Units that the Selling Member and each other participating Co-Sale Offeree may sell in the transaction shall be reduced below the applicable Co-Sale Participation Percentage to a percentage equal to the Selling Member’s or the participating Co-Sale Offeree’s (as applicable) pro rata percentage of the total Units proposed to be sold in the Transfer, or the aggregate Units to be sold in the transaction shall be increased to accommodate the Units of those participating Co-Sale Offerees pursuant to this Section 11.15.
(c) The Selling Member shall not Transfer any Co-Sale Units to any prospective transferee if such prospective transferee declines to purchase Units from participating Co-Sale Offerees, unless the Selling Member acquires from each such participating Co-Sale Offeree (on the terms set forth in the Co-Sale Notice) its pro rata percentage of the total Units proposed to be sold in the Transfer (or, if less, the percentage of its Units that such Co-Sale Offeree requested to Transfer to such transferee) on the same price, terms and conditions as would be applicable in a direct sale of such Units to the proposed transferee. The Selling Member will endeavor to facilitate the purchase by any prospective transferee of Units held by a Co-Sale Offeree which are not eligible for co-sale pursuant to this Section 11.15 if and to the extent such Co-Sale Offeree wishes to include such interests in the Transfer, but neither the Selling Member nor any other Person shall be liable if the prospective transferee declines to do so.
Co-Sale Right 3.1 An Offeror may not sell any of the Offered Shares until each of the Investors shall have been given the right (a “Co-Sale Right”), exercisable by Notice delivered to the Company and the Offeror within twenty (20) days from the date of the Company Notice, to sell to the proposed purchaser or purchasers (including, as applicable, the Company and any Electing Investors), upon the same terms and conditions offered by the Offeror, a number of shares up to the Investor’s Co-Sale Pro Rata Share of the Offered Shares (the “Co-Sale Shares”).
3.2 Any Investor who fails to notify the Company and Offeror within twenty (20) days after the Sale Notice of the exercise of the Investor’s Co-Sale Right (or who has exercised purchase rights under Section 2), shall have thereby waived Co-Sale Rights with respect to the Offered Shares.
3.3 If any Investor has made a timely exercise of a Co-Sale Right, to the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase shares or other securities from an Investor exercising its rights of co-sale hereunder (a “Co-Selling Investor”), the Offeror shall not sell to such prospective purchaser or purchasers any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Offeror purchases such Co-Sale Shares from such Co-Selling Investor for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Sale Notice.
3.4 Each Co-Selling Investor shall, promptly after exercising a Co-Sale Right, deliver to the Offeror for transfer to the prospective purchaser or purchasers one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, evidencing the Co-Sale Shares, Series A-1 Shares convertible into Co-Sale Shares or any combination of the two (and, if the Offered Shares included Series A Shares, the number of Series A Shares comprising Co-Sale Shares). If a prospective purchaser objects to the delivery of preferred stock in lieu of Common Stock, any Co-Selling Investor shall convert the Series A-1 Shares into Common Stock and deliver Common Stock as provided above. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual sale of such shares to the proposed purchaser. Series A Shares may not be delivered to exercise a Co-Sale Right with respect to offered Common Stock or offered Series A-1 Shares.
3.5 If the Investors have not elected to purchase all of the Available Shares pursuant to Section 2, the Offeror may, during the 60-day period following the Settlement Date, offer the remaining unsold portion of the Available Shares (as reduced by any exercised Co-Sale Rights, the “Salable Shares”), along with any Co-Sale Shares, on terms and conditions (other than the time permitted to close the purchase) no more favorable to the Offeree than those specified in the Sale Notice, to the purchaser or purchasers identified in the Sale Notice. If the Offeror does not enter into an agreement for the sale of any of the Salable Shares and Co-Sale Shares within such period, or if such agreement is not consummated within thirty (30) days of its execution, the right provided under Sections 2 and 3 shall be revived as to the unsold Offered Shares, which shall not be sold unless first reoffered to the Company and the Investors in accordance with Sections 2 and 3. Any partial sale of Shares made pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among Salable Shares and Co-Sale Shares.
3.6 On consummation of the sale of the Offered Shares and Co-Sale Shares, the Offeror shall transfer to the purchaser the stock certificate or certificates that the Investor has delivered to the Offeror pursuant to Section 3.4. The Offeror shall, upon receipt, remit to the Co-Selling Investor that portion of the sale proceeds to which such Investor is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. To the extent that any prospective purchaser or purchasers prohibit such assignment or otherwise refuse to purchase shares or other securities from a Co-Selling Investor, the Offeror shall not sell any Offered Shares to the prospective purchaser unless, simultaneously with such sale, the Offeror purchases the Co-Sale Shares from such Investor.
First Refusal Rights The Company may elect to purchase all (but -------------------- not less than all) of the shares of Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a written notice of such election to Executive and the Investors within 10 days after the Sale Notice has been delivered to the Company. If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Executive Stock to be transferred, the Investors may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Executive Stock to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering written notice of such election to Executive within 10 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Investors. If more than one Investor elects to purchase the Executive Stock, the shares of Executive Stock to be sold shall be allocated among the Investors pro rata according to the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Investor on a fully-diluted basis. If neither the Company nor the Investors elect to purchase all of the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice, Executive may transfer the shares of Executive Stock specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 60-day period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any shares of Executive Stock not transferred within such 60-day period shall be subject to the provisions of this paragraph 4(c) upon subsequent transfer. If the Company or any of the Investors have elected to purchase shares of Executive Stock hereunder, the transfer of such shares shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to Executive, but in any event within 15 days after the expiration of the Election Period. The Company may pay the purchase price for such shares by offsetting amounts outstanding under the Executive Note issued to the Company hereunder and any other bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company.

Dilutive Rights Offering In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Series A Preferred entitling them (for a period expiring within forty-five (45) calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Series A Preferred (or securities having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Series A Preferred (“equivalent preferred stock”)) or securities convertible into Series A Preferred or equivalent preferred stock at a price per share of Series A Preferred or per share of equivalent preferred stock (or having a conversion or exercise price per share, if a security convertible into or exercisable for Series A Preferred or equivalent preferred stock) less than the then current per share market price of the Series A Preferred (as determined pursuant to Section 11.4) on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Series A Preferred and shares of equivalent preferred stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of shares of Series A Preferred and shares of equivalent preferred stock which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred and/or shares of equivalent preferred stock to be offered (and/or the aggregate initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such current per share market price and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Series A Preferred and shares of equivalent preferred stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Series A Preferred and/or shares of equivalent preferred stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible); provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of one Right. In case such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. Series A Preferred and shares of equivalent preferred stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the purpose of any such computation. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such rights or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to be the Purchase Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed.
Call Rights (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4, the Company shall have the following call rights with respect to the Warrant:
(i) immediately upon receipt of any Exercise Notice from the Holder and prior to any pending Exercise Date (as determined pursuant to Section 2(b)), the Company shall have the right to purchase that portion of the Warrant proposed to be exercised by the Holder pursuant to such Exercise Notice, and if the Company exercises such right, the Holder shall be required to sell such portion of the Warrant to the Company at a purchase price (the "Call Price") determined in accordance with Section 4(b);
(ii) at any time within thirty (30) days following (a) the date of the Company's delivery to the Holder of the appraisal performed by an independent appraiser at the Company's request in connection with the ESOP that sets forth the per share value of the Common Stock as of September 30, 2009 (the "September 2009 Appraisal"), if the ESOP is still in existence on September 30, 2009 and none of clauses (a), (b) and (c) of the definition of "Current Market Price" in Section 3(c)(ii) below are applicable, or (b) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Effective Date, if the conditions of clause (b) above are not met (in either case, the "First Put/Call Date"), the Company shall have the right to purchase up to fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant from the Holder, and if the Company exercises such right, the Holder shall be required to sell up to fifty percent (50%) of the Warrant to the Company at the Call Price determined in accordance with Section 4(b) below; and
(iii) at any time within thirty (30) days prior to the Expiration Date, the Company shall have the right to purchase up to one hundred percent (100%) of the Warrant from the Holder, and if the Company exercises such right, the Holder shall be required to sell the Warrant or any portion thereof, as the case may be, to the Company at the Call Price determined in accordance with Section 4(b) below.
Company Right of First Refusal (a) Before the Warrant, any portion thereof or any Shares may be sold or otherwise transferred by the Holder, the Company shall have a right of first refusal to purchase the Warrant, such portion thereof and/or any such Shares, as the case may be, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 11.
(b) If the Holder proposes to sell or otherwise transfer the Warrant, any portion thereof or any number of the Shares it holds at such time to any third party other than one that it controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with (each an "Affiliate"), the Holder shall deliver to the Company a written notice ("Sale Notice"), in accordance with Section 15, stating (i) the Holder's bona fide intention to sell or otherwise transfer the Warrant, any portion thereof or a certain number of Shares (collectively, the "Transfer Interests"), as the case may be, (ii) the name of the proposed purchaser or other transferee (the "Proposed Buyer"), and (iii) the bona fide cash price or other consideration for which the Holder proposes to transfer the Transfer Interests (the "Offered Price"), and the Holder shall offer to sell the Transfer Interests to the Company at the Offered Price.
(c) The Company may, at any time within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Company of a Sale Notice, elect to purchase the Transfer Interests by giving written notice to the Holder, in accordance with Section 15, at a purchase price equal to the Offered Price (the "Purchase Price"). If the Offered Price includes consideration other than cash, the cash equivalent value of the non-cash consideration shall be determined by the board of directors of the Company in good faith.
(d) Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made in cash (by check) within sixty (60) days after the date of the Company's election to purchase the Transfer Interests.
(e) If the Transfer Interests are not purchased by the Company as provided herein, then the Holder may sell or otherwise transfer the Transfer Interests to the Proposed Buyer at the Offered Price or at a higher price, provided that such sale or other transfer (i) is consummated within six (6) months after the date of the Sale Notice, and (ii) is in accordance with all the terms of this Agreement and all other agreements between the Holder and the Company. If the Transfer Interests are not transferred to the Proposed Buyer within such six-month period in accordance with the preceding sentence, a new Sale Notice shall be given to the Company, and the Company shall again be offered a right of first refusal under this Section 11 before the Warrant, any portion thereof or any Shares, as the case may be, may be sold or otherwise transferred.
Drag Along (a) If at any time after March 13, 2017, there shall be:
(i) an offer by a Person that is not an Affiliate of any party hereof to purchase all or substantially all the Shares or voting rights in the Company;
(ii) a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving entity but the Shares or voting rights of the Company outstanding immediately prior to the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash, or otherwise; or
(iii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all the Company’s properties and assets to any other Person, in each case, if the Majority Class A Ordinary Shareholders, Majority Series A-1 Preferred Shareholders, Majority Series A-2 Preferred Shareholders, Majority Series B Preferred Shareholders (which shall include Apoletto), and Majority Series C Preferred Shareholders (collectively, the “Drag Holders”) approve such transaction, which is a transaction at arm’s length for an equity valuation of the Company immediately prior to such transaction of not less than US$3,000,000,000, at the request of the Drag Holders, then each remaining Shareholder (each, a “Dragged Holder”) shall sell, transfer, convey or assign its Shares (such sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment pursuant to this Section 9.2, a “Drag-Along Sale”) pursuant to, and so as to give effect to, such offer to purchase, merger or consolidation, sale or transfer, as the case may be. If any Dragged Holder does not elect to vote, or give its written consent to the Drag-Along Sale, such Dragged Holder shall be obligated to purchase all the shares held by the Drag Holders and other Dragged Holders who has consented to participate in the Drag-Along Sale at the price upon terms offered for the Drag-Along Sale. In such event, the Dragged Holders who do not wish to sell their shares shall make a matching offer to purchase from all other relevant shareholders the shares proposed to be sold by any other such shareholders on no less favorable terms than the bona fide offer within thirty (30) Business days of the request for a Drag-Along Notice issued by the Drag Holders. For the avoidance of doubt, in all cases any exercise of rights pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall constitute a Deemed Liquidation Event under the Revised M&A. If any Dragged Holder has unilateral veto right to veto against the Drag-Along Sale, it is entitled to exercise its veto right to disapprove the Drag-Along Sale. However, if such Dragged Holder selects not to exercise such veto right, it shall act in accordance with this Section 9.2. If the consideration offered is payable in securities or property other than cash (or evidence of cash indebtedness), the Board shall in good faith determine the fair market value of any such securities or property in cash, provided that any holder of Preferred Shares shall have the right to challenge any determination by the Board of fair market value made pursuant hereto, in which case the determination of fair market value shall be made by a valuer selected jointly by the Board and the challenging parties. The valuer shall prepare a report setting forth the basis of its calculating such fair market value, and the determination of such fair market value by the valuer shall, in the absence of manifest error, be final and conclusive. Up to US$100,000 of the costs of appointing the valuer shall be borne solely by the challenging holder(s) of Preferred Shares, and any amount of such costs in excess of US$100,000 shall be borne equally by the challenging holder(s) of Preferred Shares and the Company. The valuer shall act as expert and not as an arbitrator. If the acquiring party is a privately-held entity and the Investors receive in whole or in part non-publicly traded securities of such acquirer, then such non-publicly traded securities shall have liquidation preference(s), protective provision(s), voting right(s), dividend right(s), registration rights and preemptive rights that are substantially similar to those of the Series A-1 Preferred Shares, Series A-2 Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares, and Series C Preferred Shares, as applicable, as set forth herein as of the date hereof.
(b) The restrictions on Transfers of Shares set forth in Sections 10.1, 4.2 and 5 shall not apply in connection with a sale pursuant to this Section 9.2, or anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding.
(c) Upon the approval of a Drag-Along Sale as described in this Section 9.2, each Dragged Holder shall grant to the CEO, a power of attorney to transfer its Shares and to do and carry out all other necessary or advisable acts to complete the Drag-Along Sale, including, without limitation, executing any and all documents (including instruments of transfer) on behalf of such Dragged Holder. The CEO shall be authorized to transfer the Shares of each Dragged Holder and to do and carry out all other necessary or advisable acts to complete the Drag-Along Sale, including, without limitation, executing any and all documents (including instruments of transfers) on behalf of each Dragged Holder.
(d) In any Drag-Along Sale approved by the Drag Holders, each Drag Holder shall severally, not jointly, join on a pro rata basis (based on the relative proceeds received in such transaction) in any indemnification obligations that are part of the terms and conditions of such Drag-Along Sale but only up to the net proceeds paid to such Drag Holder. Without limiting the foregoing sentence, no such Drag Holder who is not an employee, officer or controlling shareholder of a Group Company shall be required to make any representations or warranties other than with respect to itself (including due authorization, title to shares and enforceability of applicable agreements).
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, any assignee or transferee who acquires any Share of the Company shall be bound by this Section 9.2 as if they were a Party hereunder, by delivering and executing an Adherence Agreement as provided in Exhibit B.
Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement Each Purchaser and the other stockholders of the Company named as parties thereto shall have executed and delivered the Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement.
Preemptive Rights (a) In the event that the Purchaser Beneficially Owns at least 20% of the aggregate number of shares of NewCo Common Stock then outstanding, if NewCo engages in any transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities by NewCo and such sale or issuance would cause the Purchaser to Beneficially Own less than 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance, the Purchaser will be afforded the opportunity to acquire from NewCo, for the same price and on the same terms as such Covered Securities are offered, up to an amount (the “Amount”) necessary to enable the Purchaser to own 20% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of NewCo Common Stock immediately following such sale or issuance; provided, that, if the transaction at issue is an acquisition, merger or other business combination involving a Third Party by NewCo in which NewCo issues or sells Covered Securities as consideration for the transaction, such Covered Securities shall be deemed to be offered at the per share purchase price implied from the transaction terms as of the time of entry into the agreement for such transaction; provided, further, that, if such per share purchase price is not reasonably ascertainable, the per share purchase price shall be deemed to be the trading price of the NewCo Common Stock at the close of the business on the day immediately prior to the public disclosure or announcement of such transaction.
(b) If NewCo proposes to engage in a transaction involving the direct or indirect sale or issuance of Covered Securities described in Section 8.12(a) above, NewCo will first submit written notice (the “Notice of Preemptive Rights”) to the Purchaser disclosing the terms of the proposed sale or issuance transaction (which notice will set forth all material terms, including price, number of securities or aggregate principal amount, as applicable, and the type of securities to be sold or issued). The Notice of Preemptive Rights will include an offer to the Purchaser to purchase up to the Purchaser’s Amount of such Covered Securities on terms and conditions, including price, not less favorable to the Purchaser than those on which NewCo proposes to sell such Covered Securities to the third party or parties. Such offer as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights will remain open for a period of at least 15 Business Days after the Notice of Preemptive Rights is delivered, prior to the expiration of which period the Purchaser may accept such offer by written notice to NewCo setting forth the number of Covered Securities that the Purchaser intends to purchase. The consummation of such purchase by the Purchaser shall be conditioned on the simultaneous or prior consummation of the sale described in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. Nothing herein shall prohibit NewCo’s consummation of the sale set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights to third parties prior to the sale of Covered Securities to the Purchaser hereunder as long as NewCo has provided Purchaser the required notice hereunder and the Purchaser is simultaneously with or promptly after such consummation provided the opportunity to purchase the amount of Covered Securities that it would have been entitled to purchase if such issuance had occurred at the same time.
(c) Any Covered Securities covered by a Notice of Preemptive Rights which are not purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.12(b) may be sold by NewCo to a third party or parties at any time within 180 days following the expiration of the 15 Business Day period specified in Section 8.12(b); provided that each of the price and the other terms and conditions of such sale are not more favorable to such third parties than as set forth in the Notice of Preemptive Rights. For the avoidance of doubt, any sale or issuance of Covered Securities other than in compliance with this Section 8.12(c) will require delivery of a new Notice of Preemptive Rights.
