thereafter a written request that the Company effect any Registration with respect to at least
thirty percent (30%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding on a form other than Form F-3
(or any comparable form for a Registration for an offering in a jurisdiction other than the United
States) (such Holder referred to as “Initiating Holder”), subject to the terms of this Agreement,
the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days of receipt of such written request, give written notice
of the proposed Registration to all other Holders and other shareholders of the Company with
piggyback registration rights (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company Shareholders),
and (ii) as soon as practicable, use its best efforts to effect Registration of those Registrable
Securities (“Demand Registration”) which the Company has been so requested to Register, together
with all other Registrable Securities and securities of the Company other than the Registrable
Securities which the Company has been requested to Register by holders thereof by written request
given to the Company within ten (10) days after written notice from the Company, subject to
limitations of this Section 2. The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any
Registration pursuant to this Section 2.1 (x) after the Company has effected two (2) Registrations
pursuant to this Section 2.1; (y) after the Company has effected one Registration pursuant to this
Section 2.1 during any nine (9)-month period other than a registration from which the Registrable
Securities of the Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable
Securities, the Holders requested to be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions
of Section 2.5(d) and 3.2(b); or (z) if the Initiating Holder proposes to dispose of shares of
Registrable Securities that may be immediately Registered on Form F-3
6
pursuant to a request made pursuant to Section 2.2. The substantive provisions of Section
2.5 shall be applicable to the Registration initiated under this Section 2.1.
2.2. Request for Registration on Form F-3. If any Holder requests in writing that the Company
file a Registration Statement on Form F-3 (or any comparable form for a Registration in a
jurisdiction other than the United States) for a public offering of shares of Registrable
Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of Selling
Expenses, would not be less than US$2,000,000, and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form
F-3 (or any comparable form for a Registration for an offering in a jurisdiction other than the
United States) to register the Registrable Securities, the Company shall (i) within ten (10 days of
receipt of such written request, give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other
Holders and other shareholders of the Company with piggyback registration rights, and (ii) use its
best efforts to cause those Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to be
Registered, together with all other Registrable Securities and securities of the Company other than
the Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to Register by holders thereof by
written request given to the Company within ten (10) days after written notice from the Company,
for the offering on that form and to cause those Registrable Securities and securities of the
Company other than the Registrable Securities to be qualified in jurisdictions as the Holder or
Holders may reasonably request, subject to limitations of this Section 2. Except as otherwise
provided herein, there shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request
registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.2, provided the Company shall not be
required to effect more than one Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 in any nine (9) month
period. The substantive provisions of Section 2.5 shall be applicable to each Registration
initiated under this Section 2.2.
2.3. Right of Deferral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to
file a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2:
(a) | if no Registration Statement has been filed previously and the Company is in the process of preparing a Registration Statement and in good faith determines that such Registration Statement will be filed within sixty (60) days from the date of the receipt of the written request set forth in Section 2.1; | ||
(b) | if a Registration Statement had been filed previously, within one hundred eighty (180) days after the effective date of, any Registration Statement pertaining to the securities of the Company (other than a registration of securities in a Rule 145 transaction or with respect to an employee benefit plan or a registration from which the Registrable Securities of the Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities, the Holders requested to be included in such registration) pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.5(d) and 3.2(b)); or | ||
(c) | if the Company furnishes to those Holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its shareholders for a Registration Statement to be filed in the near future, then the Company’s obligation to use its best efforts to file a Registration Statement shall be deferred for a period not to exceed one hundred twenty |
7
(120) days from the receipt of the request to file the registration by that Holder; provided, that the Company shall not exercise the right to delay a request contained in this Section 2.3(b) more than once in any nine (9)-month period, and provided further, that during such one hundred twenty (120)-day period, the Company shall not file a Registration Statement with respect to any public offering of securities of the Company. |
2.4.
Registration of Other Securities in Demand Registration. Any Registration Statement filed
pursuant to the request of the Holders under this Section 2 may, subject to the provisions of
Section 2.5, include securities of the Company other than Registrable Securities.
2.5. Underwriting in Demand Registration.
(a) | Notice of Underwriting. 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, and the Company shall include that information in the written notice referred to in Section 2.1 or 2.2 of this Agreement, as applicable. The right of any Shareholder to Registration pursuant to this Section 2 shall be conditioned upon such Shareholder’s agreement to participate in the underwriting and the inclusion of that Shareholder’s Registrable Securities or securities of the Company other than Registrable Securities, as the case may be, in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. | ||
(b) | Inclusion of Other Securities in Demand Registration. If the Company, officers or directors of the Company holding securities other than the Registrable Securities, or holders of securities other than the Registrable Securities, request inclusion of other securities of the Company held thereby in the Registration, to the extent that such securities are not entitled by right to be included in the Registration pursuant to piggyback registration rights, the Initiating Holders, to the extent they deem advisable, may, in their sole discretion, on behalf of all Holders, offer to any or all of the Company, those officers or directors, and the holders of securities other than the Registrable Securities, that their securities be included in the underwriting and may condition that offer on the acceptance by those Persons of the terms of this Section 2. If, however, the number of shares so included exceeds the number of shares of Registrable Securities included by all Holders, the Registration shall be treated as governed by Section 3 of this Agreement rather than this Section 2, and it shall not count as a Registration for purposes of this Section 2. | ||
(c) | Selection of underwriter in Demand Registration. The Company shall (together with all Shareholders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or, if more than one, the lead underwriter acting as the representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters’ Representative”) selected for the underwriting by the |
8
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (calculated on an as-converted basis) to be Registered in the proposed offering. | |||
(d) | Marketing Limitation in Demand Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, in the event the Underwriters’ Representative advises the Company in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Ordinary Shares 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 shares to be underwritten, then the Company shall so advise all Shareholders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the Registration and underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders in proportion on an as-converted basis, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities entitled to inclusion in that Registration held by those Holders at the time of filing the Registration Statement, provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in any such underwriting held by Holders shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first entirely excluded from the underwriting. In no event shall the number the Registrable Securities included in any such underwriting be reduced to less than 30% of the numbers of the Registrable Securities requested to be included. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 2.5(d) shall be included in that Registration Statement. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the foregoing, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares. | ||
(e) | Right of Withdrawal in Demand Registration. If any Holder of Registrable Securities, or a Shareholder of other securities entitled (upon request) to be included in that Registration, disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such Holder or Shareholder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the Underwriters’ Representative, and other Shareholders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting, delivered at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. The securities so withdrawn shall also be withdrawn from the Registration Statement. |
2.6. Other Securities Laws in Demand Registration. In the event of any
Registration pursuant to this Section 2, the Company shall exercise its best efforts to Register
and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities laws of any
other jurisdictions as shall be reasonably appropriate for the distribution of the securities,
except for any particular jurisdiction (other than the United States or any jurisdiction on which
the Registrable Securities are being proposed to be listed) in which the Company would be required
solely as a result of such Registration to execute a general consent to service of process in
effecting such Registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to
service in such jurisdiction; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes a
9
non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the qualification of the
securities be borne by selling shareholders, the expenses shall be payable pro rata by the selling
shareholders.
3. Unlimited Piggyback Registration.
3.1.
Notice of Piggyback Registration and Inclusion of Registrable Securities. Subject to
the terms of this Agreement, if the Company decides to Register any of its Ordinary Shares (either
for its own account, for the account of a security holder or both), the Company shall (a) promptly
give each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which
the Company intends to attempt to qualify those securities under the applicable Blue Sky or other
securities laws), and (b) include in that Registration (and any related qualification under Blue
Sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable
Securities specified in a written request delivered to the Company by any Holder within twenty (20)
days after delivery of the written notice from the Company. 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.
3.2.
Underwriting in Piggyback Registration.
(a) | Notice of Underwriting in Piggyback Registration. If the Registration of which the Company gives notice is for a Registered Public Offering, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1. In this event, the right of any Holder to Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s agreement to participate in the underwriting and the inclusion of that Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, to the extent provided in this Section 3. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the other holders distributing their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriters’ Representative for such offering. The Holders shall have no right to participate in the selection of the underwriters for an offering pursuant to this Section 3. | ||
(b) | Marketing Limitation in Piggyback Registration. In the event the Underwriters’ Representative advises the Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 in writing that market factors (including, without limitation, the aggregate number of shares of Ordinary Shares 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 shares to be underwritten, the Underwriters’ Representative (subject to the allocation priority set forth in Section 3.2(c)) may: |
10
(i) | in the case of a Registered Initial Public Offering, exclude some or all Registrable Securities from the Registration and underwriting; and | ||
(ii) | in the case of any Registered Public Offering subsequent to the initial public offering, limit the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in the Registration and underwriting, to not less than 20% of the securities included in the Registration. |
(c) | Allocation of Shares in Piggyback Registration. In the event that the Underwriters’ Representative limits the number of shares to be included in a Registration pursuant to Section 3.2(b), the number of shares to be included in the Registration shall be allocated among the Holders and other Shareholders (other than the Registrable Securities) requesting and legally entitled to include securities in that Registration, in proportion and on an as-converted basis, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities (including the Registrable Securities) which the Holders and the other Shareholders would otherwise be entitled to include in the Registration. For any Registration subsequent to an Initial Public Offering, the number of shares that may be included in the Registration and underwriting under this Section 3.2(c) shall not be reduced to less than 20% of the aggregate securities included in the Registration without the prior consent of Holders of at least a majority of the Shares (calculated on an as-converted basis) who have requested their shares be included in the Registration and underwriting. No Registrable Securities or other securities excluded from the underwriting by reason of this Section 3.2(c) shall be included in the Registration Statement. | ||
(d) | Withdrawal in Piggyback Registration. 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’ Representative delivered at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwriting shall be withdrawn from the Registration. | ||
(e) | Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under this Section 3.2 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 4 hereof. |
4. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with each
of the Registrations pursuant to Section 2.1 and unlimited Registrations pursuant to Sections 2.2
and 3, shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
pay for any expenses of any Registration Expenses of any Registration begun pursuant to Section 2.1
or 2.2 if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders pursuant
to Section 2.5(e) of this Agreement (in which case all selling Shareholders shall
11
bear such expenses pro rata upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be
included in the withdrawn Registration). All Selling Expenses shall be borne by the holders of the
securities Registered pro rata on the basis of the number of securities so Registered.
5. Assignability of Registration Rights; Termination of Registration Rights;
Limitation on Subsequent Registration Rights
5.1. Assignability of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to Register
securities granted under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement shall be assignable by a Preferred
Investor to any Person based on any permitted transfer of its Shares set forth in Clause 5.2 of the
Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement. No other party may assign, delegate or otherwise

Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto,

(k) | enter into customary agreements (including, in the case of a Public Offering, underwriting agreements in customary form, and including provisions with respect to indemnification and contribution in customary form and consistent with the provisions relating to indemnification and contribution contained herein) and take all other customary and appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities and in connection therewith: |

(v) | deliver such customary documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (calculated on an as-converted basis) being sold or by the Underwriters’ Representative, if any. |
The above shall be done (i) at the effectiveness of such Registration Statement (and each
post-effective amendment thereto) in connection with any registration, and (ii) at each
closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required
thereunder;
(1) | make available for inspection by representatives of the selling Holders of the Registrable Securities and any underwriters participating in any disposition pursuant to a Registration Statement and any counsel or accountant retained by such Holders or underwriters, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and cause the respective officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, underwriter, counsel or accountant in connection with a Registration Statement; | ||

16
(n) | cause all Registrable Securities to be qualified for inclusion in or listed on The New York Stock Exchange or any securities exchange or the NASDAQ National Market on which securities of the same class issued by the Company are then so qualified or listed if so requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities (calculated on an as-converted basis) covered by a Registration Statement, or if so requested by the underwriter or underwriters of a Public Offering of the Registrable Securities, if any; | ||

Each selling Holder of the Registrable Securities as to which any Registration is
being effected pursuant to this Agreement agrees, as a condition to the Registration
obligations with respect to such Holder provided herein, to furnish to the Company
such information regarding such Holder required to be included in the Registration
Statement, the ownership of the Registrable Securities by such Holder and the
proposed distribution by such Holder of such Registrable Securities as the Company
may from time to time reasonably request in writing.
7. Indemnification.
7.1. Company’s Indemnification of Holders. To the extent permitted by law, the Company
shall indemnify each Holder, each of its officers, directors, partners, agents, legal counsel for
the Holders, and each Person controlling that Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, with
respect to which Registration, qualification, or compliance of the Registrable Securities has been
effected pursuant to this Agreement, and each underwriter, if any, and each of its officers,
directors, partners, agents and each Person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, or actions in respect thereof
(collectively, “Damages”) to the extent the Damages arise out of or are based upon any
17
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any
Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document incident to any Registration, qualification,
or compliance, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of a
Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or any
violation by the Company (or alleged violation) of any rule or regulation promulgated under the
Securities Act, Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky laws, or other applicable laws in the
jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Registration occurred, applicable to the
Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any
Registration, qualification, or compliance; and the Company shall reimburse each such Holder, each
underwriter, each of their respective officers, directors, partners, agents, legal counsels, and
each Person who controls any Holder or underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses reasonably
incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability, or
action; provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 7.1 shall not apply to
amounts paid in settlement of any Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of the
Company (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld); and provided, further, that the Company
will not be liable in any case to the extent that any Damages arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in that
Registration Statement, prospectus, or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by a Holder or underwriter, if any, and stated to be
specifically for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company.
7.2. Holder’s Indemnification of Company. To the extent permitted by law, each Holder shall,
if the Registrable Securities held by that Holder are included in the securities as to which
Registration, qualification or, compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement, indemnify
the Company, each of its directors and officers, each legal counsel and independent accountant of
the Company, each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by the Registration
Statement, each Person who controls the Company or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities
Act, and each other Holder selling securities under such Registration, each of its such other
Holder’s, officers, directors, and constituent partners, and each Person controlling the other
Holder, against all Damages arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue
statement) of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, prospectus, or other
document incident to any Registration, qualification or compliance, or any omission (or alleged
omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to
make the statements made therein (in the case of a Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made) not misleading, or any violation (or alleged violation) by the Holder of any
rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, Exchange Act, applicable Blue Sky laws, or
other applicable laws in the jurisdiction other than the United States in which the Registration
occurred, applicable to the Holder and relating to action or inaction required of the Holder in
connection with any Registration, qualification, or compliance, and shall reimburse the Company,
those Holders, directors, officers, partners, Persons, law and accounting firms, underwriters or
control Persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with
investigating or defending any claim, loss, damage, liability, or action, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that the untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission
(or alleged omission) is made in that Registration Statement, prospectus, or other document in
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by that Holder
and stated to be specifically for use in connection with the offering of securities of the Company,
provided, however, that the indemnity contained in this Section 7.2 shall not apply to amounts paid
in settlement of any Damages if settlement is effected without the consent of that Holder (which
18
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and provided, further, that each Holder’s liability
under this Section 7.2 shall not exceed the Holder’s proceeds (less underwriting discounts and
selling commissions) from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.
7.3. Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party
under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall,
if a claim is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof and generally summarize the action. The
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to assume the defense of that
claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be entitled to select counsel for the
defense of the claim with the approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, however, that if either party reasonably determines
that there may be a conflict between the position of the Company and the Shareholders in conducting
the defense of the action, suit, or proceeding by reason of recognized claims for indemnity
under this Section 7, then counsel for that party shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the
extent reasonably determined by counsel to be necessary to protect the interests of that party. The
failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement of any action, if prejudicial to
the ability of the indemnifying party to defend the action, shall relieve the indemnifying party,
to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 7, but the
omission to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the party of any liability that the party
may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 7.
7.4. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is held by a
court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any
Damages, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party hereunder,
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of those
Damages 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 hand, in connection with the
statements
or omissions that resulted in Damages as well as 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 alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying
or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and
opportunity to correct or prevent the statement or omission.
7.5. Conflicts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that 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 shall control.
7.6. Survival of Obligations. The obligations of the Company and Holders under
this Section 7 shall survive the completion of any offering of the Registrable Securities in a
Registration Statement under this Agreement or otherwise.
8. Lock-Up. Each Shareholder hereby agrees that, if requested by the Company and the
Underwriters’ Representative (if any) in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, the
Shareholder shall not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for the purchase of, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of any Registrable Securities or other securities of the Company
without the prior written consent of the Company and the Underwriters’ Representative for such
19
period of time (not to exceed 180 days) following the effective date of a Registration Statement of
the Company filed under the Securities Act (or other applicable law in a jurisdiction other than
the United States in which a Registration occurred) as may be requested by the Underwriters’
Representative. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing provision contained
in this Section 8 shall not restrict Citigroup Inc. and its Affiliates, respectively, from engaging
in any brokerage, investment advisory, financial advisory, anti-raid advisory, merger advisory,
financing, asset management, trading, market making, arbitrage and other similar activities
conducted in the ordinary course of its or its affiliates’ business, so long as such activities are
not conducted in respect of the Registrable Securities (or by virtue of a short position undertaken
to benefit from the cover of the Registrable Securities, or the issuance of a derivative security
designed to benefit from the value of the Registrable Securities) of the Company directly owned by
Citigroup Inc.
9. No-Action Letter or Opinion of Counsel in Lieu of Registration; Conversion
of Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, if (a) the Company
obtains from the Commission (or a comparable regulatory agency in respect of Registration in a
jurisdiction other than the United States) a “no-action” letter in which the Commission or
such
comparable regulatory agency has indicated that it will take no action if, without
Registration
under the Securities Act or comparable law, any Holder disposes of the Registrable Securities
covered by any request for Registration made under Section 2 of this Agreement in the specific
manner in which the Holder proposes to dispose of the Registrable Securities included in that
request (such as including, without limitation, inclusion of the Registrable Securities in an
underwriting initiated by either the Company or the Holders) and that the Registrable
Securities
may be sold to the public without Registration; or (b) in the opinion of counsel for the
Company
concurred by counsel for the Holder, no Registration under the Securities Act (or other
applicable
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
shall not
be eligible for Registration under this Agreement. 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 9 does not apply. The Registration rights of
the
Holders of the Registrable Securities set forth in this Agreement are conditioned upon the
conversion of the Registrable Securities with respect to which Registration is sought into
Ordinary
Shares prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement.
10. Reports Under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to Holders
the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any other rule or regulation
of the Commission that may at any time permit a Holder to sell securities of the Company to the
public without Registration or pursuant to a Registration on Form F-3, the Company agrees to:
(a) | make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times after 90 days after the effective date of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the public; |
(b) | take all reasonable action, including the voluntary Registration of its Ordinary Shares under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, necessary to enable the Holders to utilize Form F-3 for the sale of their Registrable Securities, such action to be taken as soon as practicable after the end of the fiscal year |
20
in which the first Registration Statement filed by the Company for the offering of its securities to the general public is declared effective; | |||
(c) | file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; | ||
(d) | furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, promptly upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after 90 days after the effective date of the first Registration Statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act, and the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to those reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after it so qualifies); (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and any other reports and documents filed by the Company; and (iii) any other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any securities without Registration or pursuant to that form; and | ||
(e) | for a Registration in a jurisdiction other than the United States, take actions similar to those set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 10 with a view to making, available to Holders the benefits of the corresponding provision or provisions of that jurisdiction’s securities laws. |
11. Compliance with Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. The Company covenants that it will fully
comply with all the requirements of the United States Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, as amended,
and any rules and regulations thereunder adopted from time to time by the Commission and any
other applicable laws, in each case to the extent applicable to the Company.
12. Miscellaneous.
12.1. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
12.2. Counterparts and Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in
