It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144, except in unusual circumstances. After its Initial Offering, the Company will not require any transferee pursuant to Rule 144 to be bound by the terms of this Agreement if the shares so transferred do not remain Registrable Securities hereunder following such transfer.

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE SHAREHOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.
5.
(d) The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly unlegended certificates at the request of any Holder thereof if the Company has completed its Initial Offering and the Holder shall have obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration, qualification and legend, provided that the second legend listed above shall be removed only at such time as the Holder of such certificate is no longer subject to any restrictions hereunder.
(e) Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such securities shall be removed upon receipt by the Company of an order of the appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.
(a) Subject to the conditions of this Section 2.2, if the Company shall receive a written request from the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of $10,000,000, then the Company shall, within 10 days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders, and subject to the limitations of this Section 2.2, effect, as expeditiously as reasonably possible, and in any event within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities that all Holders request to be registered.
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 2.2 or any request pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.2(a) or Section 2.4(a), as applicable. 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 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 (which underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, if the underwriter advises the Company that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities) then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities that would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated to the Holders of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all such Holders (including the Initiating Holders). Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from the registration.
(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2:
6.
(i) prior to the earlier of (A) the fourth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (B) the expiration of the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.11 following the Initial Offering;
(ii) after the Company has effected two registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2, and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective, provided that a registration shall not be deemed effected until it has been declared as such by the SEC;
(iii) during the period starting with the date of filing of, and ending on the date 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement pertaining to the Initial Offering (or such longer period as may be determined pursuant to Section 2.11 hereof); provided that the Company makes reasonable good faith efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(iv) if within 30 days of receipt of a written request from Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 2.2(a), the Company gives notice to the Holders of the Company’s intention to file a registration statement for its Initial Offering within 90 days, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(v) if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than 120 days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders; provided that such right to delay a request shall be exercised by the Company not more than once in any 12 month period;
(vi) if the Initiating Holders propose to dispose of shares of Registrable Securities that may be immediately registered on Form S-3 pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.4 below; or
(vii) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
7.
(a) The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least 20 days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Special Registration Statements) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within 15 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 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.
8.
(a) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
(b) as soon as practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date such request is given, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within 15 days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 2.4:
(i) if Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders, or
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $1,000,000, or
(iii) if within 30 days of receipt of a written request from any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Company gives notice to such Holder or Holders of the Company’s intention to make a public offering within 90 days, other than pursuant to a Special Registration Statement, provided that the Company is actively employing in good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective;
(iv) if the Company has, within the 12 month period preceding the date of such request, already effected two registrations on Form S-3 for the Holders pursuant to this Section 2.4, provided that a registration shall not be deemed effected until it has been declared as such by the SEC; or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall file a Form S-3 registration statement covering the Registrable Securities and other securities so requested to be registered as soon as practicable after receipt of the requests of the Holders. Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.2.
9.
2.6 Obligations of the Company. Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to 120 days or, if earlier, until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution related thereto; provided, that, in the case of any registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with Commission rules and regulations, the 120 day period shall be extended for up to an additional 180 days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all Registrable Securities are sold; provided, however, that at any time, upon written notice to the participating Holders and for a period not to exceed 60 days thereafter (the “Suspension Period”), the Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement (and the Initiating Holders hereby agree not to offer or sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement during the Suspension Period) if the Company reasonably believes that there is or may be in existence material nonpublic information or events involving the Company, the failure of which to be disclosed in the prospectus included in the registration statement could result in a Violation. In the event that the Company shall exercise its right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration hereunder, the applicable time period during which the registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of the Suspension Period. The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive 60 days with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered under the applicable registration statement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If so directed by the Company, all Holders registering shares under such registration statement shall (i) not offer to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement during the period in which the delay or suspension is in effect after receiving notice of such delay or suspension; and (ii) use their best efforts to deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holders’ possession, of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
10.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in subsection (a) above.
(c) Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.
(d) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(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(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such 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 commercially reasonable 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) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter, dated as of such date, 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.
11.
(h) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system (if any) on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(i) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement and provide a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration;
(j) Promptly make available for inspection by the selling Holders, any underwriter(s) participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney or accountant or other agent retained by any such underwriter or selected by the selling Holders, 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 each case, as necessary or advisable to verify the accuracy of the information in such registration statement and to conduct appropriate due diligence in connection therewith;
(k) Notify each selling Holder, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed; and
(l) After such registration statement becomes effective, notify each selling Holder of any request by the SEC that the Company amend or supplement such registration statement or prospectus.
In addition, the Company shall ensure that, at all times after any registration statement covering a public offering of securities of the Company under the Securities Act shall have become effective, its xxxxxxx xxxxxxx policy shall provide that the Company’s directors may implement a trading program under Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act.
2.7 Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information.
(a) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 2.
(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 that the selling Holders shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as is reasonably requested to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation with respect to any registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 2.4 if the anticipated aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the registration does not equal or exceed the anticipated aggregate offering price required to originally trigger the Company’s obligation to initiate such registration as specified in Section 2.2 or Section 2.4, whichever is applicable.
12.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each selling Holder, and the partners, members, officers, directors, stockholders and Affiliates of each such Holder; legal counsel and accountants for each such Holder; any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for each such Holder; and each Person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Damages, and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable for any Damages to the extent that they arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of any such Holder, underwriter, controlling Person, or other aforementioned Person expressly for use in connection with such registration.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each Person (if any), who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act), any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement, and any controlling Person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any Damages, in each case only to the extent that such Damages arise out of or are based upon actions or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of such selling Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such selling Holder will pay to the Company and each other aforementioned Person any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred thereby in connection with investigating or defending any claim or proceeding from which Damages may result, as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 2.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claim or proceeding if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further that in no event shall the aggregate amounts payable by any Holder by way of indemnity or contribution under Sections 2.8(b) and 2.8(d) exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 2.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action) for which a party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 2.8, give the
13.
indemnifying party notice of the commencement thereof. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in such action and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, participate jointly with any other indemnifying party to which notice has been given, and to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that 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 action. The failure to give notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 2.8 to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such action. The failure to give 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 2.8. 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 that 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 of such claim or litigation.
(d) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section 2.8 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 2.8, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability, or expense, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. 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 allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of 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; provided, however, that, in any such case (x) no Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (y) no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; and provided further that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to this Section 2.8(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such Holder pursuant to Section 2.8(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering received by such Holder (net of any
Selling Expenses paid by such Holder), except in the case of willful misconduct or fraud by such Holder.
14.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement, subject always to compliance with applicable law, shall control.
(f) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 2.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration under this Section 2, and otherwise shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
15.
(a) Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;
(b) File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and Exchange Act; and
(c) So long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed with the Commission; and such other reports and documents as a Holder may reasonably request in connection with availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.
16.

(b) As soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year of the Company, and in any event within 150 days thereafter, the Company will furnish to each Investor (with its Affiliates) that owns not less than 1,000,000 Preferred Shares (as adjusted for share splits and combinations) (a “Major Investor) a balance sheet of the Company, as at the end of such fiscal year, and a statement of income and a statement of cash flows of the Company, for such year, all prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except as noted therein or as disclosed to the recipients thereof) and setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year, all in reasonable detail. Such financial statements shall be accompanied by a report and opinion thereon by independent public accountants selected by the Board.
(c) The Company will furnish each Major Investor, as soon as practicable after the end of each quarterly accounting periods in each fiscal year of the Company and each Group Company, and in any event within 45 days thereafter in the case of each quarterly accounting period, a balance sheet of the Company and each Group Company as of the end of each such quarterly period, and a statement of income and a statement of cash flows of the Company and each Group Company for such period and for the current fiscal year to date, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (except as noted therein or as disclosed to the recipients thereof), with the exception that no notes need be attached to such statements and year-end audit adjustments may not have been made.
(d) The Company will furnish each Major Investor, as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of each quarter of each fiscal year of the Company, a statement showing the number of shares of each class and series of share capital and securities convertible into or exercisable for issued share capital at the end of the period, the Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise of any issued securities convertible or exercisable for Ordinary Shares and the exchange ratio or exercise price applicable thereto, and the number of shares of issued options and options not yet issued but reserved for issuance, if any, all in sufficient detail as to permit the Major Investors to calculate their respective percentage equity ownership in the Company.

(f) Such other information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects, or corporate affairs of the Company as any Major Investor may from time to time reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated under this Subsection 3.1(f) to provide information (i) that the Company reasonably determines in good faith to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company); or (ii) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel.
If, for any period, the Company has any Group Company whose accounts are consolidated with those of the Company, then in respect of such period the financial statements delivered pursuant to the foregoing sections shall be the consolidated and consolidating financial statements of the Company and all such consolidated Group Company.
18.
3.8 Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement. The Company shall require all U.S. employees and consultants to execute and deliver a Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement substantially in a form approved by the Board and provided to the Investors.
19.
(a) The Company is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the Company shall not change or amend the U.S. tax characterization of the Company without the prior written consent of the Investors.
(b) The Company shall, on an ongoing basis upon an Investor’s reasonable request and within sixty (60) days of the end of the Company’s taxable year, inform the Investors in writing, whether the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a “passive foreign investment company” (a “PFIC”) under Section 1297 of the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and shall also provide, upon request, the Investors with information necessary for the Investors to make their own independent determination as to whether the Company or any subsidiary of the Company is a PFIC. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid, and to cause its subsidiaries to avoid, being classified as a PFIC.
(c) Upon the request of an Investor, the Company shall, and/or shall cause the applicable subsidiary, for the year of such determination and each subsequent year, to timely provide the Investors with a properly completed and duly executed “PFIC Annual Information Statement” that meets the requirements of U.S. Treas. Regs. § 1.1295-1(g) and any other information or assistance required by such regulations for the Investors or their direct or indirect owners to (i) make a timely election to treat such entity that is a PFIC as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code and (ii) timely fulfill their annual election requirements (as described in U.S. Treas. Regs. § 1.1295-1(f)) in each subsequent year in which an Investor owns an interest (directly or indirectly) in such entity. Each PFIC Annual Information Statement provided to the Investors pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be prepared by a nationally recognized U.S. tax advisor experienced in such matters.
(d) If the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is or is reasonably likely to be classified as a PFIC for a taxable year, the Company shall use, and/or shall cause the applicable subsidiary to use, commercially reasonable efforts to cause such PFIC not to generate any ordinary earnings or net capital gain, calculated in accordance with Section 1293 of the Code, from transactions entered into outside of the ordinary course of its business during such taxable year. In this regard, the Company shall monitor its, and each of its subsidiaries, status under the PFIC rules on an ongoing basis.
20.
(e) The Company shall maintain, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to maintain, books of account, records and other information in such a manner as to allow it to make any relevant determinations for U.S. tax purposes, including but not limited to (i)
determining its status as a PFIC and (ii) computing its ordinary earnings and net capital gain. Upon reasonable request, the Company shall provide, and/or the Company shall cause a subsidiary to provide, the Investors with timely access to examine its books of account, records, and other documents for the Investors to establish that such entity’s ordinary earnings and net capital gain are computed in accordance with U.S. federal income tax accounting principles and to calculate and verify these amounts and each Investor’s (and its direct and indirect owners’) pro rata shares thereof.
(f) Within sixty (60) days of the end of the Company’s taxable year, any time that there is a change in either the Company’s, or a subsidiary of the Company’s, ownership structure and at any other time reasonably requested by an Investor, the Company shall supply such Investor with the information in its possession or that it can reasonably obtain that may be relevant to determine (i) whether the Investor, or one of its direct or indirect owners, is a “United States Shareholder” (as described in Section 951(b) of the Code) with respect to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, (ii) whether the Company, or any subsidiary of the Company, is a “controlled foreign corporation” (a “CFC”) (as described in Section 957 of the Code) and (iii) the Investor’s share of any subpart F income of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company.
(g) If an Investor reasonably determines that (A) the Company, or a subsidiary of the Company, is a CFC and (B) that the Investor, or one of its direct or indirect owners, is a “United States Shareholder” of the Company or such subsidiary, the Company shall use, and/or shall cause its subsidiary to use, commercially reasonable efforts to structure and manage its business and operations in a manner that would not cause the Company or such subsidiary (i) to recognize material amounts of subpart F income as defined under Section 952 of the Code (solely for the purpose of determining whether a material amount of subpart F income has been recognized, income recognized by the Company from the investment of funds raised from the issuance of its stock, notes or debt securities shall not be considered subpart F income ), (ii) to recognize subpart F income from transactions entered into outside of the ordinary course of its business, (iii) to hold United States property as described in Section 956 of the Code, except for the Company’s ownership of Iterum Therapeutics US Limited, or (iv) to recognize earnings and profits, as determined for all purposes of the Code (including Section 1248), from transactions entered into outside of the ordinary course of its business.
(h) In connection with any gain recognized by an Investor with respect to the Company or a subsidiary of the Company, to the extent relevant to the Investor’s or its direct or indirect owners’ tax reporting, the Company shall timely provide the Investor with a calculation of the Company’s and/or its subsidiary’s respective earnings and profits and the Investor’s share thereof as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes for purposes of Section 1248 of the Code.
(i) The Company shall cooperate, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to cooperate, with the Investors in providing the Investors with any information in its possession or that it can reasonably obtain that may be useful to them to timely make all filings, returns, reports, forms or calculations as may be required for an Investor and its direct and indirect owners to comply with the provisions of the Code or any other tax law that an Investor or its direct or indirect owners are subject, including, but not limited to promptly delivering to an Investor any information regarding the Company or a subsidiary requested by such Investor that is in the Company’s possession or that it can reasonably obtain. Nothing in this clause shall in any way limit the obligations of the Company described in this Section.
21.
(j) In the event that the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section and, as a result of such breach, an Investor or any of its respective partners becomes liable for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties (or any other additions to taxes) that would not have arisen absent such breach, the Company shall fully indemnify such Investor and its respective partners for such amounts and shall pay such amounts to the Investor free and clear of any withholding taxes.
(k) If the Company is required to deduct and withhold taxes on any payment to an Investor, at the written request of such Investor, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist such Investor, at such Investor’s expense, in obtaining any available reduced rate of, exemption from, or refund of such tax (including the obtaining of a valid certificate issued by the applicable tax authority prescribing such reduced rate or exemption), pursuant to any applicable tax treaty or applicable law, provided such Investor timely provides the Company with all necessary forms and information to establish a reduced rate of, exemption from, or refund of such tax.
(l) The Company will use its best efforts to ensure that the Company and each of its subsidiaries conduct their respective businesses in accordance with the Operating Guidelines.
(m) The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to continuously be treated as a “qualified foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 1(h)(11)(C) of the Code.
22.
by any governmental authority alleging a violation of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law by the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause any direct or indirect subsidiary or entity controlled by it, whether now in existence or formed in the future, to comply with the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law.
At any time when any Preferred Shares are outstanding, the Company shall include in the governance documents of any Group Company, prohibitions in engaging in any of the following acts without the prior approval of the Company:
(a) | Any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws, or Constitution, as applicable, of the Group Company; |
(b) | Any increase or decrease in the authorized number of shares of the Group Company; |
(c) | Any authorization or any designation, whether by reclassification or otherwise or any other action resulting in the creation of any new class or series of shares or any other securities convertible into a new class or series of shares of the Group Company; |
(d) | Any redemption, repurchase, payment or declaration of dividends or other distributions or return of capital (except for acquisitions of shares by the Group Company pursuant to agreements that permit the Group Company to repurchase such shares at no more than cost upon termination of services to the Company); |
(e) | Any agreement by the Group Company or its shareholders regarding or any other action resulting in an Asset Transfer or Acquisition (as such terms are defined in the Constitution); |
(f) | Any incurrence of bank indebtedness of US$500,000 or more individually or in the aggregate with all other bank indebtedness of the Group Company (other than payables incurred in the ordinary course of business); |
(g) | Any voluntary dissolution or liquidation of the Group Company; |
(h) | Any increase or decrease in the authorized number of members of the Group Company’s Board; or |
(i) | Any increase in the number of shares available for issuance under any existing equity incentive plan. |
23.
corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, then to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assignees of the Company assume the obligations of the Company with respect to indemnification of members of the Board as in effect immediately before such transaction, whether such obligations are contained in the Constitution, or elsewhere, as the case may be.
SECTION 4. RIGHTS OF FIRST REFUSAL.
24.
Major Investors shall have ten (10) days after receipt of such notice to notify the Company of its election to subscribe for all or a portion thereof of the unsubscribed shares. The Company shall have 90 days thereafter to sell the Equity Securities in respect of which the Major Investor’s rights were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms and conditions not materially more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s notice to the Major Investors pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof. If the Company has not issued such Equity Securities within 90 days of the notice provided pursuant to Section 4.2, the Company shall not thereafter issue any Equity Securities, without first offering such securities to the Major Investors in the manner provided above.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Irish Companies Act 2014 (as same may be amended, replaced and/or consolidated in the future) as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.
25.
(b) The parties hereto expressly and irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the applicable local, federal or appellate courts located in the State of Delaware. Each party agrees that such courts shall be deemed to be a convenient forum in any such legal proceeding, and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise) any claim that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of any such courts, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such legal proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in, or by, any such courts.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided, this Agreement may be amended or modified, and the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under this Agreement may be waived, only upon the written consent of the Company and the Requisite Preferred Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term hereof may not be waived with respect to any
26.
Investor without the written consent of such Investor, unless such amendment, termination, or waiver applies to all Investors in the same fashion. Further, this Agreement may not be amended, and no provision hereof may be waived, in each case, in any way which would adversely affect the rights of the Key Holders hereunder in a manner disproportionate to any adverse effect such amendment or waiver would have on the rights of the Investors hereunder, without also the written consent of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the Key Holders who are continuing to provide services to the Company. The Company shall give prompt notice of any amendment or termination hereof or waiver hereunder to any party hereto that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination, or waiver. Any amendment, termination, or waiver effected in accordance with this Subsection 5.6 shall be binding on all parties hereto, regardless of whether any such party has consented thereto. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 3.7 may not be amended or waived with respect to Pfizer without Pfizer’s prior written consent or with respect to Xxxxxxx without Xxxxxxx’x prior written consent.
(b) For the purposes of determining the number of Holders or Investors entitled to vote or exercise any rights hereunder, the Company shall be entitled to rely solely on the list of record holders of its shares as maintained by or on behalf of the Company.
