Reservation of Class A Ordinary Shares The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Class A ordinary shares that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement.
Distributions Other Than Cash, Shares or Rights to Purchase Shares (a) Whenever the Company intends to distribute to the holders of Deposited Securities property other than cash, Shares or rights to purchase additional Shares, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Depositary at least 30 days prior to the proposed distribution and shall indicate whether or not it wishes such distribution to be made to Holders of ADSs. Upon receipt of a notice indicating that the Company wishes such distribution be made to Holders of ADSs, the Depositary shall determine whether such distribution to Holders is lawful and practicable. The Depositary shall not make such distribution unless (i) the Company shall have timely requested the Depositary to make such distribution to Holders, (ii) the Depositary shall have received satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 hereof and (iii) the Depositary shall have determined that such distribution is lawful and reasonably practicable.
(b) Upon receipt of satisfactory documentation and the request of the Company to distribute property to Holders of ADSs and after making the requisite determinations set forth in (a) above, the Depositary may distribute the property so received to the Holders of record as of the ADS Record Date, in proportion to the number of ADSs held by such Holders respectively and in such manner as the Depositary may deem practicable for accomplishing such distribution (i) upon receipt of payment or net of the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (ii) net of any taxes and/or other governmental charges. The Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of the property so distributed and deposited, in such amounts and in such manner (including public or private sale) as the Depositary may deem practicable or necessary to satisfy any taxes (including applicable interest and penalties) and other governmental charges applicable to the distribution.
(c) If (i) the Company does not request the Depositary to make such distribution to Holders or requests the Depositary not to make such distribution to Holders, (ii) the Depositary does not receive satisfactory documentation within the terms of Section 5.7 hereof or (iii) the Depositary determines that all or a portion of such distribution is not reasonably practicable or feasible, the Depositary shall endeavor to sell or cause such property to be sold in a public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper and shall distribute the net proceeds, if any, of such sale received by the Depositary (net of applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and/or a division or Affiliate(s) of the Depositary and taxes and/or governmental charges) to the Holders as of the ADS Record Date upon the terms of Section 4.1 hereof. If the Depositary is unable to sell such property, the Depositary may dispose of such property in any way it deems reasonably practicable under the circumstances for nominal or no consideration and Holders and Beneficial Owners shall have no rights thereto or arising therefrom.
Distribution in Shares If any distribution upon any Deposited Securities consists of a dividend in, or free distribution of, Shares, the Company shall cause such Shares to be deposited with the Custodian and registered, as the case may be, in the name of the Depositary, the Custodian or any of their nominees. Upon receipt of confirmation of such deposit from the Custodian, the Depositary shall establish the ADS Record Date upon the terms described in Section 4.7 hereof and shall, subject to Section 5.9 hereof, either (i) distribute to the Holders as of the ADS Record Date in proportion to the number of ADSs held as of the ADS Record Date, additional ADSs, which represent in the aggregate the number of Shares received as such dividend, or free distribution, subject to the other terms of this Deposit Agreement (including, without limitation, (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes and/or governmental charges), or (ii) if additional ADSs are not so distributed, each ADS issued and outstanding after the ADS Record Date shall, to the extent permissible by law, thenceforth also represent rights and interests in the additional Shares distributed upon the Deposited Securities represented thereby (net of (a) the applicable fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and (b) taxes and/or governmental charges). In lieu of Delivering fractional ADSs, the Depositary shall sell the number of Shares represented by the aggregate of such fractions and distribute the proceeds upon the terms described in Section 4.1 hereof. The Depositary may withhold any such distribution of Receipts if it has not received satisfactory assurances from the Company (including an Opinion of Counsel furnished at the expense of the Company) that such distribution does not require registration under the Securities Act or is exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act. To the extent such distribution may be withheld, the Depositary may dispose of all or a portion of such distribution in such amounts and in such manner, including by public or private sale, as the Depositary deems necessary and practicable, and the Depositary shall distribute the net proceeds of any such sale (after deduction of applicable taxes and/or governmental charges and fees and charges of, and expenses incurred by, the Depositary and/or a division or Affiliate(s) of the Depositary) to Holders entitled thereto upon the terms described in Section 4.1 hereof.
Purchase Rights of Certificateholders (a) By acceptance of its Applicable Certificate, each Applicable Certificateholder agrees that at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of a Certificate Buyout Event:
(i) each Class B Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) shall have the right to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Applicable Certificates upon 15 days’ written notice to the Trustee and each other Class B Certificateholder, on the third Business Day next following the expiry of such 15-day notice period, provided that (A) if prior to the end of such 15-day period any other Class B Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) notifies such purchasing Class B Certificateholder that such other Class B Certificateholder wants to participate in such purchase, then such other Class B Certificateholder (other than the Company or any of its Affiliates) may join with the purchasing Class B Certificateholder to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Applicable Certificates pro rata based on the Fractional Undivided Interest in the Class B Trust held by each such Class B Certificateholder and (B) if prior to the end of such 15-day period any other Class B Certificateholder fails to notify the purchasing Class B Certificateholder of such other Class B Certificateholder’s desire to participate in such a purchase, then such other Class B Certificateholder shall lose its right to purchase the Applicable Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(a)(i);

(iii) if any Refinancing Certificates are issued, each Refinancing Certificateholder shall have the same right (subject to the same terms and conditions) to purchase Certificates pursuant to this Section 4.01(a) (and to receive notice in connection therewith) as the Certificateholders of the Class that such Refinancing Certificates refinanced. The purchase price with respect to the Applicable Certificates shall be equal to the Pool Balance of the Applicable Certificates, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of such purchase, without premium (including Make-Whole Amount), but including any other amounts then due and payable to the Applicable Certificateholders under the Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Note Document or on or in respect of the Applicable Certificates; provided, however, that no such purchase of Applicable Certificates shall be effective unless the purchaser(s) shall certify to the Trustee that contemporaneously with such purchase, such purchaser(s) is (are) purchasing, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and the Other Agreements, (A) in the case of any purchase of the Applicable Certificates pursuant to clause (i) above, all of the Applicable Certificates or (B) in the case of any purchase of Applicable Certificates and Class B Certificates pursuant to clause (ii) above, all of the Applicable Certificates and the Class B Certificates. Each payment of the purchase price of the Applicable Certificates referred to in the first sentence hereof shall be made to an account or accounts designated by the Trustee and each such purchase shall be subject to the terms of this Section 4.01. Each Applicable Certificateholder agrees by its acceptance of its Applicable Certificate that (at any time after the occurrence of a Certificate Buyout Event) it will, upon payment from such Class B Certificateholder(s), Additional Certificateholder(s) or Refinancing Certificateholder(s), as the case may be, of the purchase price set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph, (i) forthwith sell, assign, transfer and convey to the purchaser(s) thereof (without recourse, representation or warranty of any kind except for its own acts), all of the right, title, interest and obligation of such Applicable Certificateholder in the Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facility, the NPA, the Note Documents and all Applicable Certificates and Escrow Receipts held by such Applicable Certificateholder (excluding all right, title and interest under any of the foregoing to the extent such right, title or interest is with respect to an obligation not then due and payable as respects any action or inaction or state of affairs occurring prior to such sale) (and the purchaser shall assume all of such Applicable Certificateholder’s obligations under the Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Deposit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Liquidity Facility, the NPA, the Note Documents and all such Applicable Certificates and Escrow Receipts), (ii) if such purchase occurs after a record date specified in Section 2.03 of the Escrow Agreement relating to the distribution of unused Deposits and/or accrued and unpaid interest on Deposits and prior to or on the related distribution date thereunder, forthwith turn over to the purchaser(s) of its Applicable Certificate all amounts, if any, received by it on account of such distribution, and (iii) if such purchase occurs after a Record Date relating to any distribution and prior to or on the related Distribution Date, forthwith turn over to the purchaser(s) of its Applicable Certificate all amounts, if any, received by it on account of such distribution.

All charges and expenses in connection with the issuance of any such new Applicable Certificates shall be borne by the purchaser thereof.

If, in the opinion of that counsel, the Distribution requires, or, if made in the United States, would require, registration under the Securities Act of 1933, that counsel shall furnish to the Depositary a written opinion as to whether or not there is a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 in effect that will cover that Distribution. The Company agrees with the Depositary that neither the Company nor any company controlled by, controlling or under common control with the Company will at any time deposit any Shares, either originally issued or previously issued and reacquired by the Company or any such affiliate, unless a Registration Statement is in effect as to such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Company delivers to the Depositary an opinion of United States counsel, satisfactory to the Depositary, to the effect that, upon deposit, those Shares will be eligible for public resale in the United States without further registration under the Securities Act of 1933.
