(c); provided that, in the case of any such Transfer, the Transferee shall have entered into a
Joinder Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A providing that all Shares

Transfer described in this Section 3.2 (a “Permitted Transferee”) fails to execute a Joinder
Agreement, such Transferee shall take any Shares so Transferred subject to all provisions of this
Agreement as if such Shares were still held by the Shareholder or Investor making such Transfer,
whether or not they so agree in writing.
3.3. Right of Refusal. In the event that any of the Shareholders entertains a bona fide offer
(a “Transaction Offer”) from any other Person (a “Buyer”) to purchase all or any portion of the
Shares held by such Shareholder, such Shareholder (a “Transferring Shareholder”) may, subject to
the provisions of Section 3.4 hereof, Transfer such Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the
following provisions of this Section 3.3:
(a) Offer Notice. The Transferring Shareholder shall cause the Transaction Offer and all of
the terms thereof to be reduced to writing and shall promptly notify the Company, each of the
Investors and each Key Shareholder of such Transferring Shareholder’s desire to effect the
Transaction Offer and otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 3.3 and, if applicable,
Section 3.4 (such notice, the “Offer Notice”). The Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable
offer to sell all (or any portion) of the Shares which are the subject of the Transaction Offer
(the “Offered Shares”) to the Investors and Key Shareholders (each, an “Eligible Shareholder”), on
the basis described below, at a purchase price equal to the price contained in, and on the same
terms and conditions as, the Transaction Offer. The Offer Notice shall be accompanied by a true
copy of the Transaction Offer (which shall identify the Buyer and all relevant information in
connection therewith).
(b) Eligible Shareholders’ Option. At any time within thirty (30) days after receipt by the
Eligible Shareholders of the Offer Notice (the “Eligible Shareholder Option Period”), each Eligible
Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, may elect to accept the offer to purchase with respect to any
or all of the Offered Shares and shall give written notice of such election (the “Eligible
Shareholder Acceptance Notice”) to the Transferring Shareholder and each other Eligible Shareholder
within the Eligible Shareholder Option Period, which notice shall indicate the maximum number of
Offered Shares that the Eligible Shareholder is willing to purchase, including the number of
Offered Shares it would purchase if one or more other Eligible Shareholders do not elect to
purchase their Pro Rata Fractions (as defined in paragraph (c) below). An Eligible Shareholder
Acceptance Notice shall constitute a valid, legally binding and enforceable agreement for the sale
and purchase of the Offered Shares covered by such Eligible Shareholder Acceptance Notice. The
closing for the purchase of Offered Shares by the Eligible Shareholders or any of their Affiliates
under this Section 3.3(b) shall take place within thirty (30) days following the expiration of the
Eligible Shareholder Option Period at the offices of the Company or on such other date or at such
other place as may be agreed to by the Transferring Shareholder and such Eligible Shareholders or
Affiliates. The Transferring Shareholder shall notify the Eligible Shareholders promptly if any
Eligible Shareholder or Affiliate fails to offer to purchase all of its Pro Rata Fraction (as
defined below).
6
(c) Allocation of Offered Shares among Eligible Shareholders. Upon the expiration of the
Eligible Shareholder Option Period, the number of Offered Shares to be purchased by each Eligible
Shareholder or any of its Affiliates shall be determined as follows: (i) first, there shall be
allocated to each Eligible Shareholder electing to purchase a number of Offered Shares equal to the
lesser of (A) the number of Offered Shares as to which such Eligible Shareholder accepted the offer
to purchase, as set forth in its respective Eligible Shareholder Acceptance Notice and (B) such
Eligible Shareholder’s Pro Rata Fraction (as defined below), and (ii) second, the balance, if any,
not allocated under clause (i) above, shall be allocated to those Eligible Shareholders who within
the Eligible Shareholder Option Period delivered an Eligible Shareholder Acceptance Notice that
accepted the offer to purchase with respect to a number of Offered Shares that exceeded their
respective Pro Rata Fractions, in each case on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of
Shares held by each such Eligible Shareholder up to the amount of such excess. As used herein, an
Eligible Shareholder’s “Pro Rata Fraction” shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying
the total number of Offered Shares by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of
Shares owned by such Eligible Shareholder, and the denominator of which is the total number of
Shares held by all Eligible Shareholders, in each case calculated as of the date of the Offer
Notice.
(d) Valuation of Property. If all or any portion of the purchase price set forth in the Offer
Notice consists of consideration other than cash or cash equivalents, the Transferring Shareholder,
the Company and a Majority Interest shall mutually determine the fair market value of such
consideration, reasonably and in good faith, and the Eligible Shareholders may effect their
purchase under this Section 3.3 by payment in cash or cash equivalents of the amount of such fair
market value.
(e) Sale to Third Party. If the Eligible Shareholders do not elect to exercise the rights to
purchase under this Section 3.3 with respect to all of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the
Transferring Shareholder may (i) revoke its Offer Notice and sell all the Offered Shares, or (ii)
sell the remaining balance of such Offered Shares to the Buyer, on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Offer Notice, subject to the provisions of Section 3.4. If the Transferring
Shareholder’s sale to a Buyer is not consummated in accordance with the terms of Section 3.4, the
Transaction Offer shall be deemed to lapse, and any Transfers of
Shares pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be in violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Transferring
Shareholder sends a new Offer Notice and once again complies with the provisions of this Section
3.3 with respect to such Transaction Offer.
3.4. Co-Sale Option of Investors. If a Transferring Shareholder, provides an Offer Notice to
sell the Offered Shares and the Eligible Stockholders do not elect to exercise the rights to
purchase under Section 3.3 with respect to all of the Offered Shares proposed to be sold, the
Transferring Shareholder may (i) revoke its Offer Notice and sell all the Offered Shares; or (ii)
sell the remaining balance of such Offered Shares to the Buyer, on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Offer Notice, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4 that are set forth below:
(a) Co-Sale Notice. As soon as practicable following the expiration of the Eligible
Shareholder Option Period, and in no event later than five (5) days thereafter, the Transferring
Shareholder shall provide notice to each of the Eligible Shareholders (the “Co-Sale Notice”) of its
right to participate in the Transaction Offer on a pro rata basis with the
7
Transferring Shareholder (the “Co-Sale Option”). To the extent one or more Eligible Shareholders
exercise their Co-Sale Option in accordance with this Section 3.4, the number of Shares that the
Transferring Shareholder may Transfer pursuant to the Transaction Offer shall be correspondingly
reduced.
(b) Eligible Shareholder Acceptance. Each of the Eligible Shareholders shall have the right to
exercise its Co-Sale Option by giving written notice (the “Co-Sale Acceptance Notice”) to the
Transferring Shareholder within ten (10) days after receipt by such Eligible Shareholder of the
Co-Sale Notice (the “Co-Sale Election Period”). Each Co-Sale Acceptance Notice shall set forth the
maximum number of Shares subject thereto which the Eligible Shareholder wishes to sell, including
the number of Shares it would sell if one or more other Eligible Shareholders do not elect to
participate in the sale on the terms and conditions stated in the Offer Notice. Any Eligible
Shareholder holding Convertible Preferred Shares shall be permitted to sell to the relevant Buyer
in connection with any exercise of the Co-Sale Option Ordinary Shares acquired upon conversion of
such Convertible Preferred Shares.
(c) Allocation of Shares. Each Eligible Shareholder shall have the right to sell pursuant to
the Transaction Offer that portion of its Shares which is equal to or less than the product
obtained by multiplying the total number of Shares available for sale to the Buyer subject to the
Transaction Offer by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares owned by such
Eligible Shareholder and the denominator of which is the total number of Shares held by all
Eligible Shareholders and the Transferring Shareholder, in each case, as of the date of the Offer
Notice, subject to increase as hereinafter provided. If any Eligible Shareholder does not elect to
sell the full amount of such Shares which such Eligible Shareholder is entitled to sell pursuant
to this Section 3.4, then any other Eligible Shareholders who have elected to sell Shares shall
have the right to sell, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Shares held by each such
Eligible Shareholder) with any other Eligible Shareholders and up to the maximum number of Shares
stated in each such Eligible Shareholder’s Co-Sale Acceptance Notice, any Shares not elected to be
sold by such Eligible Shareholder.
(d) Co-Sale Closing. Within ten (10) calendar days after the end of the Co-Sale Election
Period, the Transferring Shareholder shall promptly notify each participating Eligible Shareholder
of the number of Shares held by such Eligible Shareholder that will be included in the sale and the
date on which the Transaction Offer will be consummated, which shall be no later than the later of
(i) ninety (90) calendar days after the end of the Co-Sale Election Period and (ii) the date of the
satisfaction of any governmental approval or filing requirements. Each participating Eligible
Shareholder may effect its participation in any Transaction Offer hereunder by delivering to the
Buyer, or to the Transferring Shareholder for delivery to the Buyer, one or more instruments or
certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, representing the Shares it elects to sell pursuant
thereto. At the time of consummation of the Transaction Offer, the Transferring Shareholder shall
cause the Buyer to remit directly to each participating Eligible Shareholder that portion of the
sale proceeds to which the participating Eligible Shareholder is entitled by reason of its
participation in the Transaction Offer. No Shares may be purchased by the Buyer from the
Transferring Shareholder unless the Buyer simultaneously purchases from the participating Eligible
Shareholders all of the Shares that they have elected to sell pursuant to this Section 3.4.
8
(e) Sale to Third Party. Any Shares held by a Transferring Shareholder that are the subject of
a Transaction Offer and that the Transferring Shareholder desires to Transfer to a Buyer in
compliance with this Section 3.4, may be sold to such Buyer only during the period specified in
Section 3.4(d) and only on terms no more favorable to the Transferring Shareholder than those
contained in the Offer Notice. Promptly after such Transfer, the Transferring Shareholder shall
notify the Company and the Eligible Shareholders of the consummation thereof and shall furnish such
evidence of the completion and time of completion of the Transfer and of the terms thereof as may
be reasonably requested by the Company. Prior to the effectiveness of any Transfer to a Buyer
hereunder, such Buyer shall have entered into a Joinder Agreement in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A. and such Buyer shall have all the rights and obligations hereunder as
if such Buyer were a Shareholder. In the event that the Transaction Offer is not consummated within
the period required by this Section 3.4 or the Buyer fails timely to remit to each participating
Eligible Shareholder its respective portion of the sale proceeds, the Transaction Offer shall be
deemed to lapse, and any Transfer of Shares pursuant to such Transaction Offer shall be in
violation of the provisions of this Agreement unless the Transferring Shareholder sends a new Offer
Notice with respect to such Offered Shares and once again complies with the provisions of Section
3.3 and Section 3.4 with respect to such Transaction Offer.
3.5. Drag Along.
(a) In the event of a Sale Event (as defined below), each Shareholder and Investor shall, upon
the written request of a Majority Interest (i) sell, transfer and deliver, or cause to be sold,
transferred and delivered, to the Third Party Buyer all of its Shares on the same terms applicable
to the Majority Interest (with due reflection of the relative rights and preferences of the Shares
as provided in the Articles), and/or (ii) execute and deliver such instruments of conveyance and
transfer and take such other action, including voting such Shares in favor of any Sale Event
proposed by the Majority Interest and executing any purchase agreements, merger agreements,
indemnity agreements, escrow agreements or related documents, as such Majority Interest and the
Third Party Buyer may reasonably require in order to carry out the terms and provisions of this
Section 3.5 (the “Drag-Along Right”).
(b) For purposes of this Section 3.5:
(i) a “Sale Event” shall mean a bona fide negotiated transaction with a third party in
which the Majority Interest have determined (A) to sell their Shares in a transaction that
will result in a majority of the voting power of the Company immediately prior to such
transaction being transferred to such third party, (B) to sell or otherwise dispose of all
or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or (C) to cause the Company to merge
with or into, or consolidate with, any non-Affiliate(s) of the Company; and
(ii) A “Third Party Buyer” shall mean the buyer or buyers in Section 3.5(b)(i)(A) or
(B), and the surviving entity in Section 3.5(b)(i)(C).
(c) Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date proposed for the closing of any Sale
Event, the Majority Interest shall give notice to each of the Shareholders setting forth in
9
reasonable detail the name or names of the Third Party Buyer, the terms and conditions of the
Sale Event, including the purchase price, and the proposed closing date. In furtherance of the
provisions of this Section 3.5, each of the Shareholders hereby (i) irrevocably appoints the
designee of the Majority Interest as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Agent”) (with full power
of substitution) to execute all agreements, instruments and certificates and take all actions
necessary or desirable to effectuate any sale hereunder; and (ii) grants to the Agent a proxy to
vote the shares held by the Shareholders in favor of any Sale Event hereunder.

conditions, as the Shares held by the Investors (the “Tag-Along Right”); provided that the Key
Shareholders undertake all obligations undertaken by the Investors in connection with such Sale
Event, including without limitation, all indemnification and escrow obligations.
3.7. Contemporaneous Transfers. If two or more Shareholders or Investors propose concurrent

SECTION IV. RIGHTS TO PURCHASE
4.1. Right to Participate in Certain Sales of Additional Securities. The Company agrees that
it will not sell or issue or agree to sell or issue: (a) any shares of the Company, (b) any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for share capital of the Company, or (c)
any options, warrants or rights carrying any rights to purchase share capital of the Company,
unless the Company first submits a written notice to each Eligible Shareholder identifying the
terms of the proposed sale (including price, number or aggregate principal amount of securities and
all other material terms), and offers to each Eligible Shareholder, the opportunity to purchase its
Pro Rata Allotment (as hereinafter defined) of the securities (subject to increase for
over-allotment if some Eligible Shareholders do not fully exercise their rights) on terms and
conditions, including price, not less favorable than those on which the Company
10
proposes to sell such securities to a third party or parties (a “Pre-Emptive Right Notice”).
The Company’s offer pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall remain open and irrevocable for a period of
ten (10) days following receipt by the Eligible Shareholders of such written notice.
4.2. Eligible Shareholders Acceptance. Each of the Eligible Shareholders shall have the right
to purchase its Pro Rata Allotment by giving written notice of such intent to participate (the
“Pre-emptive Right Acceptance Notice”) to the Company within ten (10) days after receipt by such
Eligible Shareholders of the Pre-Emptive Right Notice (the “Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Election
Period”). Each Pre-Emptive Right Acceptance Notice shall set forth the maximum number of Shares
subject thereto which the Eligible Shareholder wishes to buy, including the number of Shares it
would buy if one or more other Eligible Shareholders do not elect to participate in the sale on the
terms and conditions stated in the Pre-Emptive Right Notice.
4.3. Calculation of Pro Rata Allotment. Each Eligible Shareholders “Pro Rata Allotment” of
such securities shall be based on the ratio which the number of Shares owned by such Eligible
Shareholder bears to all of the issued and outstanding Shares as of the date of such written offer.
If one or more Eligible Shareholders do not elect to purchase their respective Pro Rata Allotment,
each of the electing Eligible Shareholders may purchase such shares of each such non-electing
Eligible Shareholder’s allotments (taking into account the maximum amount each is wishing to
purchase) on a pro rata basis, based upon the relative holdings of Shares of each of the electing
Eligible Shareholders in the case of over-subscription.
4.4. Sale to Third Party. Any securities so offered that are not purchased by the Eligible
Shareholders pursuant to the offer set forth in Section 4.1 above may be sold by the Company, but
only on terms and conditions not more favorable to the purchaser than those set forth in the notice
to Eligible Shareholders, at any time after five (5) days but within sixty (60) days following the
termination of the above-referenced 10-day period, but may not be sold to any other Person or on
terms and conditions, including price, that are more favorable to the purchaser than those set
forth in such offer or after such 60-day period without renewed compliance with this Section IV.
4.5. Exceptions to Pre-Emptive Rights. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights granted to
Eligible Shareholders under this Section IV shall be inapplicable with respect to (i) the issuance
of up to an aggregate of 143,013,000 Ordinary Shares or options therefore, or such other higher
number approved by the Board (as appropriately adjusted for any share split, combination,
reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, share distribution, share dividend or similar
event) issued or issuable in connection with, or upon the exercise of, options or other awards
granted or to be granted to employees, officers or directors of the Company pursuant to the
Company’s Share Option Plan, including Ordinary Shares issued in replacement of such Ordinary Share
repurchased or issuable upon the exercise of any options to purchase such Ordinary Share, to the
extent permitted under the Share Option Plan, (ii) securities issued as a result of any share
split, share dividend, reclassification or reorganization or similar event with respect to the
Shares, (iii) Ordinary Shares issued upon conversion of, or as a dividend on, the Convertible
Preferred Shares, (iv) Ordinary Shares issued upon the exercise of the Warrants (as defined in the
Purchase Agreement), (v) securities issued in connection with the acquisition of another
corporation, business entity or line of business of another business entity by the

reorganization as a result of which the Company owns not less than fifty percent (50%) of the
voting power of such corporation, (vi) Ordinary Shares issued in the Initial Public Offering, or
(vii) any other securities issued with the approval of a Majority Interest.
4.6. Assignment of Rights. Subject to Sections 6.11 and 3.6 hereof, each Investor shall have
the right to assign its rights under this Section IV to any Transferee of such Investor’s
Securities, and shall further have the right to assign and transfer such Investor’s right to accept
any particular offer under Section 4.1 hereof, and any such Transferee shall be treated as Investor
for purposes of this Section IV.

(including partners of partners and Shareholders and members of partners), members, Shareholders,
directors, officers, employees and agents and each person who controls any of them within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Unites States Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) or Section 20 of the
United Stated Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended) (collectively, the
“Investor Indemnified Parties” and, individually, an “Investor Indemnified Party”) harmless
from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, taxes, fines, penalties, diminution in
value, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of a single
counsel representing all the Investor Indemnified Parties or, if the representations of all the
Investor Identified Parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards
of professional conduct, then as many counsel as may be needed under such standards of professional
conduct to represent all of the Investor Indemnified Parties), as the same are incurred, of any
kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all
amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing and consequential damages)
(“Losses”) sustained or suffered by any such Investor Indemnified Party, which may be based upon,
relating to, arising out of, or by reason of any third party or governmental claims relating in any
way to such Investor Indemnified Party’s status as a security holder, creditor, director, agent,
representative or controlling person of the Company or otherwise relating to such Investor
Indemnified Party’s involvement with the Company, including, without limitation, in connection with
any third party or governmental action or claim relating to any action taken or omitted to be taken
or alleged to have been taken or omitted to have been taken by any Investor Indemnified Party as
security holder, director, agent, representative or controlling person of the Company or otherwise,
alleging so-called control person liability or securities law liability; provided, however, that
the Company will not be liable to any Investor Indemnified Party to the extent that such Losses
arise from and are based on (A) an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or
omission in a registration statement or prospectus which is made in reliance on and in conformity
with written information
14
furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor Indemnified Party, (B) conduct by
such Investor Indemnified Party which is found to constitute fraud or willful misconduct in a
non-appealable, final judgment, or (C) any claims by the Company or its Shareholders.
(b) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.8(a) above for any reason is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Investor Indemnified Party in respect of
any Losses referred to therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Investor Indemnified
Party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Investor Indemnified Party
as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company and the Investors, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause
(i) above is not permitted by applicable law in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the
Company and the Investors in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such Losses,
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the
Investors shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company and the Investors and the parties’ relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
(c) Each of the Company and the Investors agrees that it would not be just or equitable if
contribution pursuant to Section 5.8(b) were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation or by
any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in Section 5.8(b).
SECTION VI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
6.1. Reliance. Each of the parties hereto agrees that each covenant and agreement made by it
in this Agreement or in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this

consent of the Company and a Majority Interest; provided, however, that any such amendment that

Transfer in connection with which such Shareholder has complied with Section III.
