3.6.4 | each of the Vendor and the relevant Recipient shall be responsible for one half of the stamp duty payable in connection with the sale and purchase of such Sale Shares. |
3.7 | For the purpose of this Clause 3, the “Latest Date” shall mean the latest date by which Recipients could have accepted the Offer for Sale Shares under Clause 3.4. | ||

C =

(i) | increase such entitlement to the next whole number of Shares; or | ||
(ii) | decrease such entitlement by disregarding the relevant fraction. |
3.11 | The above restrictions shall not inhibit any transfer of:- |
3.11.1 | the legal ownership of Shares where the same shall not result in any change in the beneficial ownership of such Shares; | ||
3.11.2 | the legal or beneficial ownership to any associate of the Shareholder (within the meaning of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited); or any members of that shareholders’ family or trust for the benefit of that Shareholder and/or its family, |
provided that, in the case of any such transfer:- |
(i) | the transferring Shareholder shall procure that the transferee shall execute a deed of adherence so as to assume the transferring Shareholder’s obligations herein and the transferring Shareholder shall indemnify the other Shareholders in respect of any breach of this Agreement by such transferee; and | ||
(ii) | should the transferee at any time thereafter cease to fulfil the requirements set out either Clause 3.11.1, or 3.11.2 (as the case may be), then the transferring Shareholder shall forthwith procure that the |
- 7 -
legal and beneficial ownership of such Shares are transferred back to it. |
3.12 | All certificates for Shares shall bear the following legend:- | ||
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”).

4. | CO SALE RIGHTS |
4.1 | Right of Co-Sale | ||
On a proposed sale by an Original Shareholder (being a “Vendor” pursuant to Clause 3), an Investor who does not exercise its rights of first refusal pursuant to Clause 3, may, in lieu of the same (but without prejudice to the rights of first refusal of other Shareholders in respect of the Vendor’s Sale Shares under Clause 3), notify the Vendor and the Board of its wish to sell all or any part of its Shares on the same terms as those on which the Vendor proposes to sell its Shares to the Purchaser. The Investor’s right of co-sale shall be determined as of the date that the Sale Notification is delivered to the Company and shall be equal to the number of Sale Shares (or such larger number of Shares which the Purchaser is willing to purchase) (on an as converted basis) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares held by the Investor(on an as converted basis) and the denominator of which is the sum of (x) the total number of Shares (on an as converted basis) held by all the Investors plus (y) the total number of Shares (on an as converted basis) held by the Vendor (the “Right of Co-Sale Pro Rata Share”). The Investor exercising its co-sale right shall have the right to sell (and the Vendor shall procure the sale) to the Purchaser of such Investor’s Right of Co-Sale Pro Rata Share simultaneously with the closing of such sale to the Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Sale Notification. |
4.2 | Mechanics of Sale |
4.2.1 | The Investor shall exercise its sale right by delivering a notice of exercise to the Vendor (with a copy to the Board) within 20 Days after the date that the Sale Notification has been delivered by such Vendor to the Company. | ||
4.2.2 | The Vendor shall assign to the Investor who exercises its co-sale right as much of its interest in any agreement of sale with the Purchaser that the Investor shall be entitled to and shall accept. To the extent that any Purchaser prohibits such assignment or otherwise refuses to purchase |
- 8 -
Shares from such Investor, the Vendor shall not sell to such Purchaser any Shares unless and until, simultaneously with such sale, such Vendor shall purchase such shares from the Investor for the same consideration and on the same terms and conditions as the proposed transfer described in the Sale Notification. |
4.3 | Exceptions to Right of Co-Sale | ||
The Right of Co-Sale shall not apply to (i) sales of Shares by any Original Shareholders in a Qualified IPO; (ii) sales of Shares by any Original Shareholders in connection with a merger, consolidation or, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or reorganisation of the Company; or (iii) the transfer of any or all of any Original Shareholder’s Shares to a Nominee. |
5. | DRAG ALONG RIGHTS | |
In the event that the Shareholders or the Company receive a written bona fide offer to purchase all of the outstanding Shares of the Company which holders of more than fifty per cent of the outstanding Shares of the Company wish to accept and for which purpose they shall have received a written offer to purchase for cash all the outstanding Shares based on a valuation of the Company being no less than US$90,000,000 (“Takeover Offer”) then the remaining provisions of this Clause shall apply instead of Clauses 3 and 4. |
5.1 | at the written request of the Shareholders wishing to accept the Takeover Offer representing more than fifty per cent of the outstanding Shares of the Company (the “Selling Members”) and notwithstanding Clauses 3 and 4, each Shareholder shall be required to participate in such sale by selling to the prospective Purchaser all of their Shares for the same price and the same terms and conditions set out in the offer, and to vote all of such Shareholder’s Shares in favour of such transaction. | ||
5.2 | The Selling Members shall give to each other Shareholder a notice (an “Obligation to Sell Notice”) containing a description of the material terms of such proposed transaction including the name and address of the proposed transferee, the consideration per share offered by the proposed transferee, the payment terms and closing date, which shall be a date not less than 60 days after the giving of the Obligation to Sell Notice, and including a copy of any written offer, letter of intent, term sheet or contract of sale. | ||
5.3 | All Shareholders shall be treated equally in a Takeover Offer under this Clause 5 and shall receive the same consideration per Share in connection with the transaction. | ||
5.4 | It shall be a condition of the drag-along right under this Clause 5 that the Selling Member discloses all material facts and circumstances and all material aspects of any transaction to all Shareholders and that all Shareholders are provided with definitive agreements for the transaction at least ten (10) days prior to the anticipated signing date. In the event that the proposed transferee |
- 9 -
shall be an associate of a Selling Member (“Associate Transaction”), then the terms of Clause 5.5 shall apply. |
5.5 | In the event of an Associate Transaction, the application of Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 shall be delayed whilst the Company obtains an opinion [from an independent investment banking or valuation firm of repute (“Valuers”) who shall determine if the proposed Associate Transaction is at a Fair Value. If the Valuers shall determine that the Takeover Offer is not at a Fair Value, then the terms of Clauses 5.1 and 5.2 shall apply provided however that the Shareholders other than the Selling Party shall first be able to exercise their rights pursuant to Clause 3 hereof in respect of such sale. |
6. | PRE EMPTION RIGHTS |
6.1 | Restriction: The Parties confirm and undertake to each other that the Company will not issue any new securities (“New Shares”) without the Company first offering the New Shares for subscription by the Shareholders in a number as nearly as practicable equal to the Shareholding Proportion immediately prior to the issue of the New Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 6. | ||

A Shareholder entitled to a Second Issue Notice shall be entitled within fourteen (14) days of such Second Issue Notice to deliver a written notice (“Second Issue Acceptance Notice”) to the Board of its wish to subscribe for all or some of the New Shares that remain available |
- 10 -
for subscription. In case of competition, the Board shall allocate the New Shares to Shareholders giving a Second Issue Acceptance Notice in their respective Shareholding Proportions Provided however that no Shareholder shall be obliged to subscribe for more New Shares than the amount specified in its Issue Acceptance Notice and Second Issue Acceptance Notice. |
6.5 | Closing: An Issue Acceptance Notice delivered by a Shareholder shall create a binding agreement for that Shareholder to buy and the Company to sell the number of New Shares set out in such notice or if applicable allocated in the Shareholding Proportion in accordance with Clause 6.4 to that Shareholder at the price specified in the Issue Notice and on the following terms:- |

6.6.2 | if the Company has not issued and sold such New Shares in accordance with such offer pursuant to Clause 6.6.1 within the said period of ninety days, then the Company shall not thereafter issue any further Shares without first complying with the provisions of this Clause 6. |

Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration. |
- 19 -
(iii) | The Company shall not be required to file a registration pursuant to this Clause 12.1: |
(a) | prior to the earlier of (1) the second anniversary of the First Completion Date or (2) 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the IPO; | ||

Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within 30 days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement |
- 20 -
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 offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein. |
(ii) | If the registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Clause 12.2 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder to be included in a registration pursuant to this Clause 12.2 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders; and third, to any shareholder of the Company (other than a Holder) on a pro rata basis. In no event will shares of any other selling shareholder be included in such registration which would reduce the number of shares which may be included by Holders without the written consent of Holders of at least 50% of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the offering. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least 10 Business Days prior to the effective date of the registration statement.
