(a) | Transfer Notice from Transferor. If at any time prior to a Qualified Public Offering, a Shareholder (a “Transferor”) proposes to transfer any Shares to one or more third parties pursuant to an understanding with such third parties (a “Transfer”), then the Transferor shall give other Shareholders a written notice of the Transferor’s intention to make the Transfer (the “Transfer Notice”), which shall include a description of: (i) number of the Shares to be transferred (“Shares Offered by Transferor”); (ii) the identity of the prospective transferee; (iii) the consideration and the material terms and conditions upon which the proposed Transfer is to be made; and (iv) such other documents necessary to transfer legal and beneficial ownership of the said Shares.

19

(i) | Each of the other Shareholders shall have an option for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days from its receipt of the Transfer Notice to elect (each Shareholder making such election, an “Electing Shareholder”), exercisable upon written notice to Transferor, to purchase up to that portion of the Shares Offered by Transferor equal to the fraction (A) the numerator of which is the number of Ordinary Shares directly or indirectly issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any warrant, option, or other right of any kind convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares owned by such Electing Shareholder at the time of the Transfer Notice and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of Ordinary Shares directly or indirectly issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any warrant, option, or other right of any kind convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares owned by all Electing Shareholders at the time of the Transfer Notice (the “Refusal Pro Rata Share”), at the same price and subject to the same material terms and conditions as described in the Transfer Notice. |
(ii) | In the event that not all of the Shareholders elect to purchase their pro rata portion of the Shares Offered by Transferor available pursuant to their rights under Section 2(b)(i) within the time period set forth therein, then Transferor shall promptly give written notice to each of the Electing Shareholders (the “Overallotment Notice”), which shall set forth the number of Shares Offered by Transferor not purchased by the other Shareholders, and shall offer such Electing Shareholders the right to acquire such unsubscribed shares. Each Electing Shareholders shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Overallotment Notice to deliver a written notice to Transferor (the “Electing Shareholders Overallotment Notice”) indicating the number of unsubscribed shares that such Electing Shareholder desires to purchase, and each such Electing Shareholder shall be entitled to purchase such number of unsubscribed shares on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. In the event that the Electing Shareholders desire, in the aggregate, to purchase in excess of the total number of available unsubscribed shares, then the number of unsubscribed shares that each Electing Shareholder may purchase shall be reduced on a pro rata basis. |
20
(iii) | Each Electing Shareholder shall be entitled to apportion Shares Offered by Transferor to be purchased among its partners and Affiliates, provided that such Electing Shareholder notifies the Transferor of such allocation. |
(iv) | Payment for the Shares purchased by the Electing Shareholders shall be by check or wire transfer, against delivery of the register of members recording the transferred Shares Offered by the Transferor to be purchased at a place agreed by the parties and at the time of the scheduled closing therefor, which shall be no later than forty-five (45) Business Days after receipt of the Transfer Notice or the Overallotment Notice, if applicable, unless the Transfer Notice contemplated a later closing with the prospective third party transferee or unless the value of the purchase price has not yet been established pursuant to Section 2.1(2)(c), and at such time, Transferor shall deliver to the Electing Shareholders the certificates representing the Shares Offered by Transferor to be purchased by the Electing Shareholders, each certificate to be properly endorsed for transfer. |
(c) | Valuation of Property. |
(i) | Should the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice be payable in property other than cash or evidences of indebtedness, the Electing Shareholders shall have the right to pay the purchase price in the form of cash equal in amount to the fair market value of such property. |
(ii) | If the Transferor and the Electing Shareholders cannot agree on such cash value within ten (10) Business Days after the Shareholders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice, the valuation shall be made by an appraiser of recognized standing selected by the Transferor and a majority in interest of the Electing Shareholders or, if they cannot agree on an appraiser within twenty (20) Business Days after the Shareholders’ receipt of the Transfer Notice, each shall select an appraiser of recognized standing and the two appraisers shall designate a third appraiser of recognized standing, whose appraisal shall be determinative of such value. The cost of such appraisal shall be shared equally by Transferor and the Electing Shareholders, pro rata by each, based on the number of shares such parties have expressed an interest in purchasing pursuant to this Section 2.1. |

(iii) | If the time for the Shareholder’s purchase has expired but for the determination of the value of the purchase price offered by the prospective transferee, such closing shall be held on or prior to the fifth Business Day after such valuation shall have been made pursuant to this sub-Section. |
(3) | Co-Sale Right for other Shareholders. |
(a) | To the extent the Shareholders do not exercise their rights of first refusal to all of the Shares Offered by Transferor pursuant to Section 2.1(2), the Shareholders who intend to participate in the sale of Shares (each, a “Selling Shareholder”) shall notify the Transferor in writing within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the Transfer Notice referred to in Section 2.1(2)(a), and shall have the right to participate in such sale of Shares on the same terms and conditions as specified in the Transfer Notice. |
(i) | The Selling Shareholder’s notice to the Transferor shall indicate the number and class or series of Shares the Selling Shareholder wishes to sell under its right to participate. |
(ii) | To the extent one or more of the Shareholders exercise such right of participation in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below, the number of Shares that the Transferor may sell in the Transfer shall be correspondingly reduced. |
(b) | Such Selling Shareholder may elect to sell up to such number of Shares equal to (on a fully converted basis) the product of the aggregate number of Shares Offered by Transferor covered by the Transfer Notice and not purchased by the Electing Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.1(2) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of (i) Ordinary Shares plus (ii) Ordinary Shares directly or indirectly issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any warrant, option, or other right of any kind convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares owned by the Selling Shareholder on the date of the Transfer Notice and the denominator of which is the total number of (i) Ordinary Shares plus (ii) Ordinary Shares directly or indirectly issued or issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares or upon conversion, exercise or exchange of any warrant, option, or other right of any kind convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares owned by the Transferor (excluding shares purchased by the Electing Shareholders pursuant to Section 2.1(2)) and all of the Selling Shareholders on the date of the Transfer Notice. |
22
(c) | Such Selling Shareholder shall effect its participation in the sale by promptly delivering to the Transferor for transfer to the prospective purchaser one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the type and number of Ordinary Shares or Ordinary Share Equivalents which the Selling Shareholder elects to sell, together with a share transfer form or such other documents necessary to enable the Transferor to be registered in the Company’s register of members as owners of the Shares to be sold; provided, however that if the prospective third-party purchaser objects to the delivery of Ordinary Share Equivalents in lieu of Ordinary Shares, the Company shall convert such Ordinary Share Equivalents into Ordinary Shares and deliver certificates corresponding to such Ordinary Shares. The Company agrees to make any such conversion concurrent with the actual transfer of the Shares to the prospective purchaser and contingent on such transfer. |
(d) | The share certificate or certificates and other documents that the Selling Shareholder delivers to the Transferors pursuant to Section 2.1(3)(c) shall be transferred to the prospective purchaser in consummation of the sale of the Shares pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in the Transfer Notice, and the Transferor shall concurrently therewith remit to the Selling Shareholder that portion of the sale proceeds to which the Selling Shareholder is entitled by reason of its participation in such sale. |
(e) | To the extent that any prospective purchaser prohibits the participation of the Selling Shareholder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder in a proposed Transfer or otherwise refuses to purchase Shares or other securities from the Selling Shareholder exercising its co-sale rights hereunder, the Transferor shall not sell to such prospective purchaser any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, the Transferor shall purchase the Shares or other securities from the Selling Shareholder for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Transfer Notice. |
(f) | The exercise or non-exercise of the rights of any Shareholder hereunder to participate in one or more Transfers of Shares made by any Transferor shall not adversely affect its or his right to participate in subsequent Transfers of Shares subject to Section 2. |
(g) | To the extent that the Shareholders do not elect to participate in the sale of the Shares Offered by Transferor, such Transferor may, not later than forty-five (45) Business Days following delivery of the Transfer Notice, enter into an agreement providing for the closing of the Transfer of such Shares within thirty (30) days of such agreement on terms and conditions not more favorable to the transferor than those described in the Transfer Notice. Any proposed Transfer on terms and conditions more favorable than those described in the Transfer Notice, as well as any subsequent proposed Transfer of any Shares by a Shareholder, shall again be subject to the first refusal and co-sale rights of the Shareholders and shall require compliance by a proposed Transferor with the procedures described in this Section 2. In the event such Transferor does not consummate the Transfer of such Shares within the thirty (30) day period from the expiration of these rights, the Shareholders’ right of first refusal and co-sale rights shall continue to be applicable to any subsequent Transfer of Shares by a Transferor until such right lapses in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. |
23
(4) | Limitations to Rights of First Refusal and Co-Sale. |
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the above provisions of this Section 2.1 shall not apply:
(i) | in the case of a Transferor that is an entity, upon a transfer of Shares (A) by such Transferor to its Affiliates, stockholders, members, former members, partners, former partners or other equity holders, (B) by such Transferor that is a venture capital firm to an affiliated venture capital firm, (C) by such Transferor that is a mutual fund to another mutual fund, pursuant to an agreement and plan of merger and/ or reorganization, (D) by a Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx to another Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, or (E) by such Transferor that is an individual or entity advised by an investment advisor transferring to an entity advised by the same investment advisor, provided, however, that, in each case, notwithstanding any such permitted transfer, such transferred Shares shall remain Shares for all purposes hereunder, and such transferee shall be treated as a Shareholder (but only with respect to the securities so transferred to the transferee) for all purposes of this Agreement (including the obligations of a Shareholder with respect to the Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.1); |
(ii) | in the case of a Transferor that is a natural person, upon a transfer of the Transferor Shares by such Transferor, upon his or her death by will or intestacy to his or her siblings, children, grandchildren, spouse or any other relatives approved by unanimous consent of the Board of Directors of the Company, or any custodian or trustee for the account of a Transferor or a Transferor’s siblings, children, grandchildren or spouse; |
(iii) | to a repurchase of Ordinary Shares from an Ordinary Shareholder by the Company under the repurchase rights granted to the Company with respect to such Ordinary Shareholder as of or after the date of this Agreement, if any, at a price no greater than that originally paid by such Ordinary Shareholder for such Ordinary Shares; or |
(iv) | to any sale to the public pursuant to a Qualified Public Offering; |
PROVIDED THAT, in the case of any Transfer pursuant to Section 2.1(4)(i) or (ii), the transferee thereof shall agree in writing in form reasonably acceptable to the Company to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
24
(5) | Terms of the Lock-up Agreement Prevail. |
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any transfer of Shares permitted under this Section 2.1 (including Section 2.1(4)) shall only be permitted if such transfer is allowed pursuant to any agreement entered into between such Transferor and the managing underwriter pursuant to Section 4.5(3).
(6) | Termination of the Rights of First Refusal and Co-Sale. |
The rights of first refusal and of co-sale provided under this Section 2.1 shall be terminated upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering.

4 | REGISTRATION RIGHTS |
4.1 | Demand Registration. |
(1) | Demand Registration Other Than on Form F-3 (or Its Non-US Equivalent). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at any time after a Qualified Public Offering, any Holder of Registrable Securities may request the Company in writing to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities. Upon receipt of such a request, the Company shall (a) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and (b) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) Business Days of the receipt of such request, cause Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder who requests in writing to join such Registration within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company’s delivery of written notice, to be Registered and/or qualified for sale and distribution in such jurisdictions as the Initiating Holder may reasonably request. |
The Company shall not be obligated to effect more than two (2) Registrations in total for Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1(1).
26
(2) | Demand Registration on Form F-3. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at any time after a Qualified Public Offering, any Holder of Registrable Securities may request the Company in writing to file a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or any successor form to Form F-3, or any comparable form for Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States) for a public offering of Registrable Securities for which the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public, would exceed US$5,000,000 (or, in the case of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder or former Holder of Series C Preferred Shares, Series D Preferred Shares, Series E Preferred Shares or Series F Preferred Shares, US$1,000,000), and the Company is entitled to use Form F-3 or a comparable form to Register the requested Registrable Securities (provided that if such form is not available due to any action or inaction by the Company, such registration shall be on form F-1, or a comparable form, notwithstanding the limits in Section 4.1(1)). Upon receipt of such a request the Company shall (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) Business Days of the receipt of such request, cause the Registrable Securities specified in the request, together with any Registrable Securities of any Holder who requests in writing to join such Registration within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company’s delivery of written notice, to be Registered and qualified for sale and distribution in such jurisdictions as the Initiating Holder may reasonably request. A Holder may at any time, and from time to time, require the Company to effect the Registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 4.1(2). |
The Company shall be obligated to effect unlimited Form F-3 registrations pursuant to this Section 4.1(2) provided that the Company shall not be required to effect more than two (2) Registrations in total for Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1(2) in any twelve (12) month period.
(3) | Right of Deferral. (a) The Company shall not be obligated to Register or qualify Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.1.3: |
(i) | in any jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such Registration or qualification, unless the Company is already subject to service of process in such jurisdiction; |
(ii) | if, within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt of any request of the Holder to Register any Registrable Securities under Section 4.1(1) or Section 4.1(2), the Company gives notice to the Initiating Holder of its bona fide intention to effect the filing for its own account of a Registration Statement with the Commission in connection with a Qualified Public Offering within sixty (60) Business Days of receipt of that request (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or an offering solely to employees), provided that such Registration Statement is filed within ninety (90) days of receipt of such request and the Company is actively employing in good faith all reasonable efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective; or |
27
(iii) | within six (6) months immediately following the effective date of any Registration Statement in connection with a Qualified Public Offering (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan), provided that the Initiating Holders were permitted to register such shares as requested to be registered pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof without reduction by the underwriter thereof. |
(b) | If, after receiving a request from Holder pursuant to Section 4.1(1) or Section 4.1(2), the Company furnishes to the Holder a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, such deferral is necessary to avoid premature disclosure of a financing, acquisition, recapitalization, reorganization or other material transaction, the disclosure of which would have a materially detrimental effect on the Company, the Company’s obligation to file a Registration Statement shall be deferred for a period not to exceed ninety (90) Business Days from the receipt of any request duly submitted by Holder under Sections 4.1(1) or 4.1(2) to Register Registrable Securities; provided that the Company shall not exercise the right contained in this Sections 4.1(3)(b) more than once in any twelve (12) month period; and provided further that the Company shall not register any securities for the account of itself or any other shareholder during such ninety (90) Business Day period (other than a registration of securities in a transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act or with respect to an employee benefit plan). |
(4) | Underwritten Offerings. If, in connection with a request to Register Registrable Securities under Section 4.1(1) or Section 4.1(2), the Initiating Holder seeks to distribute such Registrable Securities in an underwriting, it shall so advise the Company as a part of the request, and the Company shall include such information in the written notice to the other Shareholders described in Sections 4.1(1) and 4.1(2). In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities held by all Initiating Holders. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors (including the aggregate number of securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Equity Securities to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the underwriters may exclude some of the Registrable Securities from the underwriting if so justified after excluding any other Equity Securities from the underwriting; provided, however, that all Holders of Registrable Securities shall share pro rata in the number of Equity Securities to be excluded from such registration pursuant to this Section 4.1(4). In no event shall any Registrable Securities be excluded from such underwriting and registration unless all other securities of the Company are first excluded. |
28
4.2 | Piggyback Registrations. |
(1) | Registration of the Company’s Securities. Subject to Section 4.2(3), if the Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its Equity Securities in connection with the public offering of such securities, the Company shall promptly give all Holders of Registrable Securities written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder given within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to subsequent offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. |
(2) | Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Section 4.2(1) prior to the effectiveness of such Registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to participate therein and shall promptly notify any Holder that has elected to include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal. The expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 4.3(3). |
(3) | Underwriting Requirements. |
(a) | If the Registration Statement of which the Company gives notice under Section 4.2(1) is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s Equity Securities, the Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Section 4.2 unless such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwriting and such Holder enters into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriters selected by the Company and setting forth such terms for the underwriting as have been agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters; provided, however, that the liability of each such Holder in respect of any indemnification, contribution or other obligation of such Holder arising under such underwriting agreement (i) shall be limited to losses arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement, incorporated document or other such disclosure document or other document or report, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for inclusion therein and (ii) shall not in any event exceed an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Holder (after deduction of all underwriters’ discounts and commissions) from the disposition of the Registrable Securities disposed of by such Holder pursuant to such Registration. In the event the underwriters advise the Holder seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2 in writing that market factors (including the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Equity Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may exclude some or all Registrable Securities from the Registration and underwriting if so justified after excluding any other Equity Securities (except for securities to be offered by the Company) from the Registration and underwriting; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the amount of securities of the selling Holders included in the registration below twenty-five percent (25%) of the total amount of securities included in such registration; provided, further, however, Registrable Securities held by officers and directors of the Company must be excluded prior to the exclusion of Registrable Securities held by the other Preferred Shareholders, unless such offering is the Company’s initial firm commitment underwritten public offering of its Equity Securities Registered under the Securities Act and such Registration does not include shares of any other selling shareholders, in which event any or all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders may be excluded in accordance with the immediately preceding clause. |
29
(b) | If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least seven (7) Business Days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration. |
(4) | Exempt Transactions. The Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 4.2 in connection with a Registration by the Company (i) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock plan, (ii) relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act (or comparable provision under the laws of another jurisdiction, as applicable), or (iii) on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a Registration Statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities. |
30
(5) | Unlimited Times of Registration Requests. The Company shall be obligated to effect unlimited registrations pursuant to this Section 4.2. |
4.3 | Procedures. |
(1) | Registration Procedures and Obligations. Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Holder, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible: |
(a) | Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holder holding a majority of the Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for up to one hundred and twenty (120) Business Days; provided that before filing a Registration Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish to the counsel for the selling Holders hereof copies of all such documents proposed to be filed; |
(b) | Prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to that Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of Applicable Securities Law with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement; |
(c) | Furnish to the Holder the number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, required by Applicable Securities Law, and any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them; |
(d) | Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of any jurisdiction, as reasonably requested by the Holder, and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Holder to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder, provided that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions, and provided further that in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the securities be borne by Selling Shareholders, those expenses shall be payable pro rata by Selling Shareholders; |
31
(e) | In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of the offering. Each shareholder participating in the underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement; |
(f) | Notify the Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under Applicable Securities Law or of the happening of any event as a result of which any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; |
(g) | In the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any shares included in such Registration Statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order and the period during which the Company shall be required to keep such Registration Statement effective as provided in Section 4.3(1)(a) hereof shall be extended by the number of days the prospectus was not available to effect such resale; |
(h) | Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and, where applicable, a CUSIP number for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration; |
(i) | Furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered for sale in connection with a Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (i) an opinion, dated the date of the sale, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of the Registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering; and (ii) a comfort letter dated the date of the sale, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters; |
32
(j) | Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange upon which the Company’s securities are then traded; |
(k) | Permit any Holder of Registrable Securities which Holder, in its reasonable judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such Registration Statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such Holder and its counsel should be included, including without limitation the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such Holder and the Company, to the effect that the holding by such Holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such Holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company; and |
(l) | Make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such Registration Statement; provided, however, that each person provided with such information shall agree in writing to hold it in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure or use any record or other information unless (a) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) the information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement of which such person has knowledge of the terms. Each Shareholder agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the information deemed confidential. |
(2) | Information From Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the Registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities. |
33
(3) | Expenses of Registration. All expenses, other than Selling Expenses, incurred in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including (without limitation) all Registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, escrow fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and underwriters, reasonable fees and disbursements not exceeding $25,000 of a single special counsel for the Holders, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration but excluding any underwriting discounts and commissions, shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Agreement if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of Holder representing a majority in voting power of the Registrable Securities to be Registered (in which case the Holder shall bear such expenses) unless either (i) such withdrawal is after any deferral or delay by the Company in effecting such registration, (ii) such withdrawal follows such Holders becoming aware of any material event with respect to the Company or (iii) such Holders agree to count such registration as a registration pursuant to Section 4.1(1) or (2), as applicable. If the Holders are required to pay any expenses in connection with Registrations, such expenses shall be borne by the holders of securities (including Registrable Securities) requesting such Registration in proportion to the number of shares for which Registration was requested. |
(4) | Delay of Registration. No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any Registration as the result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement. |
4.4 | Indemnification under Registration Rights. |
(1) | Company Indemnity. |
(a) | To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Holder, such Holder’s officers, directors, partners, members, shareholders, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each Person, if any, who controls or is alleged to control (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under laws which are applicable to the Company and relate to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any Registration, qualification, or compliance, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement or incorporated by reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, any issuer free writing prospectus related thereto, or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under Applicable Securities Laws. The Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. |

(b) | The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 4.4(1) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder or controlling person regarding such Holder or its intended method of distribution. |
(2) | Holder Indemnity. |
(a) | To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will, severally and not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by such Holder are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in connection with such Registration and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company, such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under Applicable Securities Laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such Holder or such Holder’s intended method of distribution and furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such Registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.4(2), for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Violation. |
35
(b) | The indemnity contained in this Section 4.4(2) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 4.4(2) together with any obligation under Section 4.4(4) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. |
(3) | Notice of Indemnification Claim. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 4.4(1) or Section 4.4(2) of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 4.4(1) or Section 4.4(2), deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties. An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 4.4, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 4.4. |
(4) | Contribution. If any indemnification provided for in Section 4.4(1) or Section 4.4(2) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations, provided that no contribution by any Holder, when combined with any amounts paid by such Holder pursuant to Section 4.4(2), shall exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. |
36
(5) | Survival. The obligations of the Company and the Holders under this Section 4.4 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement, and otherwise. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. |
4.5 | Additional Undertakings. |
(1) | Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holder the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any comparable provision of any Applicable Securities Law that may at any time permit an Holder to sell securities of the Company to the public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the United States), the Company agrees to: |
(a) | make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 (or comparable provision under Applicable Securities Laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), at all times after the effective date of a Qualified Public Offering; |
(b) | file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under all Applicable Securities Laws; and |
(c) | at any time following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the Qualified Public Offering, promptly furnish to any Holder holding Registrable Securities, upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of all Applicable Securities Laws at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements or, at any time after so qualified, that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as may be filed by the Company with the Commission, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission, that permits the selling of any such securities without Registration or pursuant to such form. |
37
(2) | Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Holders of ninety percent (90%) of the Registrable Securities, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any Equity Securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (a) to include such securities in any Registration filed under Section 4.2, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such Equity Securities in any such Registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holder that are included, (b) to demand Registration of their securities, or (c) to enjoy registration rights otherwise superior to or in parity with the Holder. |
(3) | “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Provided that all executive officers, directors, and other one percent (1%) shareholders of the Company are similarly bound, each Holder agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s initial public offering and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to be modified or to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days in order solely to restrict or benefit the Holders) (i) lend, 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, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Equity Securities (whether then owned or thereafter acquired) or (ii) 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 Equity Securities, whether any such transaction described in Section (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Equity Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, in each case except for Equity Securities included in such initial public offering or acquired in such initial public offering or in the open market after such initial public offering. Each Holder agrees to sign an agreement containing customary terms and conditions with the managing underwriter reflecting this Section 4.5(3). In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. |
(4) | Termination of Registration Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: |
(i) No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in this Section 4 at such time as (i) such Holder owns less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (on an as-converted and fully-diluted basis), and (ii) such Holder is able to sell all his, her or its Registrable Securities in a single sale under Rule 144 (or any successor thereto) under the Securities Act (or any comparable non-US exchange rule or regulation); and
38
(ii) if (a) the Company obtains from the Commission a “no-action” letter in which the Commission indicated that it will take no action if, without Registration under the Securities Act or other Applicable Securities Laws, any Holder disposes of Registrable Securities covered by any request for Registration made under this Agreement in the specific manner in which the Holder proposes to dispose of Registrable Securities included in that request (including, without limitation, inclusion of the Registrable Securities in an underwriting initiated by either the Company or the Holder) and that the Registrable Securities may be sold to the public without Registration or (b) in the opinion of counsel for the Company subject to concurrence by counsel for the Holder, which concurrence shall not be unreasonably withheld, no Registration under the Securities Act (or other Applicable Securities Law) is required in connection with the disposition and that the Registrable Securities may be sold to the public without Registration, then the Registrable Securities included in the request for Registration, shall not be eligible for Registration under Section 4.1 with respect to the proposed disposition. Any Registrable Securities not so disposed of shall be eligible for Registration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to other proposed dispositions to which this Section 4.5(4) does not apply.
(5) | Assignment of Registration Rights. The right to cause the Company to Register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement and other rights set forth in this Section 4 (including without the right to indemnification under Section 4.4) may be assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities that (i) is an Affiliate of a Holder, (ii) is an entity advised by the same investment advisor that advises the Holder, (iii) is a member of a Holder’s family or a trust for the benefit of an individual Holder or family member thereof, or (iv) after such assignment or transfer, holds Registrable Securities representing at least 100,000 Ordinary Shares on an as-converted basis (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and other recapitalizations), provided that: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (c) such transfer or assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under Applicable Securities Law. In the event of a transfer or assignment of Registrable Securities which does not satisfy the conditions set forth above, such securities shall no longer be deemed to constitute “Registrable Securities” for purposes of this Agreement. |
(6) | Aggregation of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Holders and X. Xxxx Price Holders. For the purposes of Section 4.1(2), 4.5(3) and 4.5(4)(i), the number of Ordinary Shares (a) held by any Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx shall be determined by aggregating all Ordinary Shares held by the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Holders and (b) held by any X. Xxxx Price Holder shall be determined by aggregating all Ordinary Shares held by the X. Xxxx Price Holders, provided that in either case, the Ordinary Shares held by any such Holder shall not be counted more than once. |
39
(7) | Exercise of Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to Register Registrable Securities which, if constituting Ordinary Share Equivalents, have not been exercised, converted or exchanged, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares. |
5. | PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHT |
5.1 | Pre-emptive Right. |
(1) | General. The Company hereby grants to each Holder a right of first offer to purchase up to a pro rata share of the entirety of any New Securities which the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell and issue after the date of this Agreement. A Holder’s “pro rata share”, for purposes of this pre-emptive right shall be determined according to the number of Ordinary Shares owned by such Holder immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (assuming the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents) in relation to the total number of Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (assuming the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents). If a Holder does not fully subscribe for the number or amount of New Securities that it is entitled to purchase pursuant to this Section 5.1(1), then the other Holders which elect to purchase New Securities shall have the right of first offer to purchase the remaining of the aforesaid number or amount of New Securities not so subscribed for within ten (10) Business Days from the date when such non-purchasing Holder fails to exercise its right hereunder. For the purposes of this Section 5.1(1), (a) the “pro rata share” held by a Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx shall be determined in aggregate and not individually, by aggregating all Ordinary Shares (assuming the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents) owned by all Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Holders, and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx may allocate the rights pursuant to this Section 5.1 among the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Holders at the discretion of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx and (b) the “pro rata share” held by a X. Xxxx Price Holder shall be determined in aggregate and not individually, by aggregating all Ordinary Shares (assuming the exercise, conversion or exchange of any Ordinary Share Equivalents) owned by all X. Xxxx Price Holders, and X. Xxxx Price may allocate the rights pursuant to this Section 5.1 among the X. Xxxx Price Holders at the discretion of X. Xxxx Price. |
(2) | Issuance Notice. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give the Holders written notice (an “Issuance Notice”) of such intention, describing the type of New Securities, and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same and offering to sell such New Securities to the Holders as described in Section 5.1(1). The Holders shall have fifteen (15) Business Days after any Issuance Notice is mailed or delivered to agree to purchase the amount of such New Securities as set forth in Section 5.1(1) for the price and upon the terms specified in the Issuance Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased. |
40
(3) | Sales by the Company. Upon the expiration of fifteen (15) Business Days from the Company’s delivery of the Issuance Notice and for thirty (30) Business Days thereafter, the Company may sell any New Securities with respect to which any Holder’s right of first offer under this Section 5.1 was not exercised, at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Issuance Notice. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such 45-Business Day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the Holders in the manner provided in Section 5.1(1) above. |
(4) | Assignments and Transfers. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Section 5 shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives, but shall not otherwise be for the benefit of any third party. The rights of the Holders hereunder are only assignable (i) to a partner or Affiliate of such Holder, (ii) to an entity advised by the same investment advisor that advises the Holder, or (iii) to an assignee or transferee who acquires any of the Equity Securities held by the Holders. |
(5) | Legend. Each existing or replacement certificate for Shares now owned or hereafter acquired by the Ordinary Shareholder shall, to the extent applicable, bear the following legend upon its face: |
“THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION, ASSIGNMENT OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, CO-SALE AGREEMENT AND/OR OTHER TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY AND BETWEEN THE SHAREHOLDER, THE COMPANY AND CERTAIN HOLDERS OF SHARES OF THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly unlegended certificates at the request of any Holder thereof if the Company has completed a Qualified Public Offering and the Holder of such certificate is no longer subject to any restrictions hereunder.
(6) | The pre-emptive right provided under this Section 5.1 shall be terminated upon the closing of a Qualified Public Offering. |
6. | INFORMATION RIGHTS |
6.1 | The Holders shall have the information rights as provided in the New M&AA. |
