of internationally recognized standing selected for such underwritten offering by the Company; provided however, that the Holders shall only be obligated to give representations and warranties under such underwriting agreement that are customary in similar agreements in relation to their ownership of the Registrable Securities and due authorization to enter into such underwriting agreement.

Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration.

3. Piggyback Registrations.

3.1 Registration of the Company’s Securities. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, if the Company proposes to Register for its own account any of its Equity Securities (including in respect of any IPO subject to the rights set forth in Section 4 below), or for the account of any holder (other than a Holder) of Equity Securities any of such holder’s Equity Securities, in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (except as set forth in Section 3.4), the Company shall promptly give each Holder written notice of such Registration and, upon the written request of any Holder given within fifteen (15) days after delivery of such notice, the Company shall use its best efforts to include in such Registration any Registrable Securities thereby requested to be Registered by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all or any of its Registrable Securities in such Registration 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, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

3.2 Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any Registration initiated by it under Section 3.1 prior to the effectiveness of such Registration, whether or not any Holder has elected to participate therein. The expenses of such withdrawn Registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 5.3.

3.3 Underwriting Requirements.

(i) In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of the Company’s Equity Securities solely for cash, the Company shall not be required to Register the Registrable Securities of a Holder under this Section 3 unless such Holder’s Registrable Securities are included in the underwritten offering and such Holder enters into an

underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters of internationally recognized standing selected by the Company and setting forth such terms for the underwritten offering as have been agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters; provided however, that the Holders shall only be obligated to give representations and warranties under such underwriting agreement that are customary in similar agreements in relation to their ownership of the Registrable Securities and due authorization to enter such underwriting agreement. In the event the underwriters advise Holders seeking Registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 in writing that market factors (including the aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be Registered, the general condition of the market, and the status of the Persons proposing to sell securities pursuant to the Registration) require a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the underwriters may exclude from the underwriting offering (x) in the case of a Qualified IPO, subject to the obligations of the parties set forth in Section 4, up to all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered, and (y) in other cases, up to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Registrable Securities requested to be Registered but, in each case, only after first excluding all other Equity Securities held by any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any other holder of Ordinary Shares of the Company from the Registration and underwriting and so long as the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration on behalf of any non-excluded Holders are allocated among all Holders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities requested by such Holders to be included.

(ii) If any Holder disapproves the terms of any underwriting, the Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriters delivered at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from the underwritten offering shall be withdrawn from the Registration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration).

3.4 Exempt Transactions. The Company shall have no obligation to Register any Registrable Securities under this Section 3 in connection with a Registration by the Company (i) relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company share plan, or (ii) relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act (or comparable provision under the Laws of another jurisdiction, as applicable); (iii) on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, or (iv) relating to a registration in which the only Ordinary Shares being registered are Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered.

4. Right to IPO Directed Shares. To the extent permitted by applicable Law and regulations, the Company, the Founders and the Ordinary Shareholders shall use their respective best efforts to procure the Company’s underwriters to direct that up to twenty five percent (25%) (or any lesser amount as requested by the Series A and Series B Lead Investor) of the proposed shares to be registered in connection with the Company’s first IPO be Registrable Securities held by the Investors, with such directed shares to be allocated to the Investors on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective ownership of the Registrable Securities.

5. Registration Procedures.

5.1 Registration Procedures and Obligations. Whenever required under this Agreement to effect the Registration of any Registrable Securities held by the Holders, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(i) Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to those Registrable Securities and use its reasonable best efforts to cause that Registration Statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities Registered thereunder, keep the Registration Statement effective for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days or, if earlier, until the distribution thereunder has been completed; provided, however, that (a) such one hundred and eighty (180) day period shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period any Holder refrains from selling any Registrable Securities included in such Registration at the written request of the underwriter(s) for such Registration, and (b) in the case of any Registration of Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or Form F-3 that are intended to be offered on a continuous or delayed basis, subject to compliance with applicable rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, such 180-day period shall be extended for up to an additional sixty (60) days, if necessary, to keep the registration statement effective until all such Registrable Securities are sold;

(ii) Prepare and file with the Commission amendments and supplements to that Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with the Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of Applicable Securities Laws with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by the Registration Statement;

(iii) Furnish to the Holders the number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, required by Applicable Securities Laws, and any other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;

(iv) Use its reasonable best efforts to Register and qualify the securities covered by the Registration Statement under the securities Laws of any jurisdiction, as reasonably requested by the Holders, provided, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdictions;

(v) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of the offering. Each shareholder participating in the underwritten offering shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement;

(vi) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under Applicable Securities Laws of (a) the issuance of any stop order by the Commission, or (b) the happening of any event as a result of which any prospectus included in the Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

(vii) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities Registered pursuant to the Registration Statement and, where applicable, a number assigned by

the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures for all those Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of the Registration; and

(viii) Take all reasonable action necessary to list the Registrable Securities on the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities are then traded or in connection with a Qualified IPO, the primary exchange on which the Company’s securities will be traded.

5.2 Information from Holder. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the Registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.

5.3 Expenses of Registration. All expenses, other than the underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement (which shall be borne by the Holders requesting Registration on a pro rata basis in proportion to their respective numbers of Registrable Securities sold in such Registration), incurred in connection with Registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Agreement, including (without limitation) all Registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for all selling Holders, shall be borne by the Company. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay for any expenses of any Registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Agreement if the Registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of a Majority-in-Interest of the Holders requesting such Registration (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be thereby Registered in the withdrawn Registration).

6. Registration-Related Indemnification.

6.1 Company Indemnity.

(i) To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, such Holder’s partners, officers, directors, shareholders, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) and each Person, if any, who controls (as defined in the Securities Act) such Holder or underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under Laws which are applicable to the Company and relate to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any Registration, qualification, or compliance, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (each a “Violation”): (a) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), (b) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, on the effective date thereof (including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto), a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (c) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under Applicable Securities Laws. The Company will reimburse each such Holder, underwriter or controlling person for

any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action.

(ii) The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises solely out of or is solely based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished for use in connection with such Registration by any such Holder, underwriter or controlling person. Further, the foregoing indemnity agreement with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder or other aforementioned person, or any person controlling such Holder, from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased shares in the offering, if a copy of the most current prospectus was not sent or given by or on behalf of such Holder or other aforementioned person to such person, if required by Law to have been so delivered, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of the shares to such person, and if the prospectus (as so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability.

6.2 Holder Indemnity.

(i) To the maximum extent permitted by Law, each selling Holder will severally but not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, legal counsel and accountants, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in connection with such Registration and each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company, such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under Applicable Securities Laws, or any rule or regulation promulgated under Applicable Securities Laws, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder for use in connection with such Registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any Person intended to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.2, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. No Holder’s liability under this Section 6.2 shall exceed the net proceeds (less underwriting discounts and selling commissions) received by such Holder from the offering of securities made in connection with that Registration.

(ii) The indemnity contained in this Section 6.2 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

6.3 Notice of Indemnification Claim. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with

counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying parties. An indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the reasonably incurred fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6, but the omission to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6.

6.4 Contribution. If any indemnification provided for in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and of the indemnified party, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

6.5 Underwriting Agreement. 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 shall control.

6.6 Survival. The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 6 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration Statement under this Agreement.

7. Additional Registration-Related Undertakings.

7.1 Reports under the Exchange Act. With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and any comparable provision of any Applicable Securities Laws 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 or Form S-3 (or any comparable form in a jurisdiction other than the United States), the Company agrees to:

(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 (or comparable provision, if any, under Applicable Securities Laws in any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), at all times

following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

(ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under all Applicable Securities Laws; and

(iii) at any time following ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first Registration under the Securities Act filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public by the Company, promptly furnish to any Holder holding Registrable Securities, upon request (a) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of all Applicable Securities Laws at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements or, at any time after so qualified, that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s securities are listed), (b) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents as filed by the Company with the Commission, and (c) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Holder of any rule or regulation of the Commission, that permits the selling of any such securities without Registration or pursuant to Form F-3 or Form S-3 (or any form comparable thereto under Applicable Securities Laws of any jurisdiction where the Company’s Securities are listed).

7.2 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Series A and Series B Lead Investor, enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any Equity Securities of the Company that would allow such holder or prospective holder (i) to include such Equity Securities in any Registration filed under Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4, unless under the terms of such agreement such holder or prospective holder may include such Equity Securities in any such Registration only to the extent that the inclusion of such Equity Securities will not reduce the amount of the Registrable Securities of the Holders that are included, (ii) to demand Registration of their securities on a basis more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than is provided to the Holders thereunder or without providing the Holders corresponding piggyback registration rights to such demand registration rights thereunder, or (iii) cause the Company to include such Equity Securities in any Registration filed under Section 2, Section 3 or Section 4 hereof on a basis more favorable to such holder or prospective holder than is provided to the Holders thereunder.

7.3 “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Holder agrees, if so required by the managing underwriter(s), that it will not during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of such final prospectus) (i) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, hedge, sell, make any short sale of, loan, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Equity Securities (other than those included in such offering) or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Equity Securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Equity Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; provided, that (x) all directors, officers and all other holders of share capital of the Company must be bound by restrictions substantially identical to those applicable to any Holder pursuant to this Section 7.3, (y) all Holders will be released from any restrictions set forth in this Section 7.3 to the extent that any

other members subject to substantially similar restrictions are released, and (z) the lockup agreements shall permit Holders to transfer their Registrable Securities to their respective Affiliates so long as the transferees enters into the same lockup agreement. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s IPO are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.3 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. In order to enforce the foregoing covenant, the Company may place restrictive legends on the certificates and impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Registrable Securities of each shareholder (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period.

7.4 Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights and obligations set forth in Section 2, Section 3 and Section 4 of this Agreement shall terminate on the later of (i) the date that is five (5) years from the date of closing of a Qualified IPO, (ii) a Sale of the Company, and (iii) with respect to any Holder, the date on which such Holder may sell all of its Registrable Securities under Rule 144 of the Securities Act in any ninety (90)-day period without limitation as to volume or manner of sale.

7.5 Exercise of Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to Register Registrable Securities which, if constituting Ordinary Share Equivalents, have not been exercised, converted or exchanged, as applicable, for Ordinary Shares.

8. Preemptive Right.

8.1 General. The Company hereby grants to each holder of Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares (each, a “Preferred Share Holder”) a right to purchase any New Securities that the Company may, from time to time, propose to sell or issue to any investors, in the proportions set forth in this Section 8.

8.2 Preferred Share Holder Notice. In the event the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, the Company shall deliver to each Preferred Share Holder written notice (the “Preferred Share Holder Notice”) specifying (i) the type of New Securities, (ii) the identity of the prospective purchaser, and (iii) the price and the terms upon which the Company proposes to issue the same. Each Preferred Share Holder shall have fifteen (15) days (the “Preferred Share Holder Participation Period”) after the receipt of the Preferred Share Holder Notice to agree to purchase up to such Preferred Share Holder’s respective pro rata share (as defined below) of such New Securities (as determined in Section 8.3 below) for the price and upon the terms specified in the Preferred Share Holder Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased.

8.3 Pro Rata Share. Each Preferred Share Holder’s “pro rata share” for purposes of the preemptive right specified in this Section 8 shall be determined according to the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares owned by such Preferred Share Holder immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (assuming the exercise, conversion or exchange of all then outstanding Ordinary Share Equivalents) in relation to the total number of Ordinary Shares of the Company owned by all Preferred Share Holders immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (assuming the exercise, conversion or exchange of all then outstanding Common Share Equivalents).

8.4 Overallotment. If any Preferred Share Holder fails to exercise its right to purchase its full pro rata share of the New Securities (each, a “Non-Exercising Holder”), the Company shall, within five (5) days after the expiration of the Preferred Share Holder Participation Period, deliver written notice specifying the aggregate number of remaining New Securities that were eligible for purchase by all Non-Exercising Holders (the “Remaining Securities”) to each Preferred Share Holder that exercised its right to purchase its full pro rata share of the New Securities (each, an “Exercising Holder”). Each Exercising Holder shall have a right of overallotment, and may exercise an additional right to purchase the Remaining Securities by notifying the Company in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice by the Company pursuant to the prior sentence of this Section 8.4; provided, however, that if the Exercising Holders desire to purchase in aggregate more than the number of the Remaining Securities, then the Remaining Securities will be allocated to the extent necessary among the Exercising Holders in accordance with their relative pro rata shares.

8.5 Sales by the Company. If, after compliance in full with the requirements of Sections 8.1 to 8.4 above, the other Preferred Share Holders have not elected to purchase any New Securities, for a period of thirty (30) days following the expiration of the ten (10) day period referred to in Section 8.4 above or of the Preferred Share Holder Participation Period (in the event that Section 8.4 is not relevant with respect to the proposed sale of New Securities), the Company may sell any New Securities with respect to which the Preferred Share Holders’ rights under this Section 8 were not exercised, to the purchasers identified in the Preferred Share Holder Notice and at a price and upon terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Preferred Share Holder Notice. In the event the Company has not sold such New Securities within such thirty (30) day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities, without first again offering such securities to the Preferred Share Holders in the manner provided in this Section 8.

8.6 Termination of Preemptive Rights. The preemptive rights in this Section 8 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the closing of a Qualified IPO, or (ii) a Liquidation Event.

9. Drag Along Rights.

9.1 General. Subject to, without limitation, the Memorandum and Articles, if, at any time following the second anniversary of the date hereof and prior to the closing of a Qualified IPO, the Series A and Series B Lead Investor and holders together in the aggregate holding at least a majority of the aggregate number of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares, voting together on an as-converted basis (the “Accepting Shareholders”) agree in writing to sell or transfer all of their respective Equity Securities in any proposed Change-of-Control Event, then the Company shall promptly notify each of the remaining holders of Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares (the “Remaining Shareholders”) in writing of such agreement and the material terms and conditions of such proposed Change-of-Control Event, whereupon each Remaining Shareholder shall, in accordance with instructions received from the Company, vote all of its Ordinary Shares and/or Preferred Shares in favor of, otherwise consent in writing to, and/or otherwise sell or transfer all of its Equity Securities in such Change-of-Control Event (including without limitation tendering original share certificates for transfer, signing and delivering share transfer forms, share sale or exchange agreements, and certificates of indemnity relating to any shares in the event that such Remaining Shareholder has lost or misplaced the relevant share certificate) on the same terms and conditions as were agreed to by the Accepting Shareholders; provided, however, that such terms and conditions, including with respect to price paid or received per Equity Security, may differ as between different classes of Equity Securities; provided, further, that holders of

Preferred Shares shall have the right to convert the Preferred Shares held by them into Ordinary Shares in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles before any proposed Change-of-Control Event. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereto that may be a Remaining Shareholder hereby agrees to, and each director of the Company is hereby expressly authorized by each Remaining Shareholder to take on such Remaining Shareholder’s behalf (without receipt of any further consent by such Remaining Shareholder), any or all of the following actions: (i) vote as irrevocable proxy for such Remaining Shareholder at an extraordinary general meeting of the Company (this Agreement constituting a valid form of irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest in substitution approved by the Board of Directors) or execute a shareholders written resolution in respect of all of the voting securities of such Remaining Shareholder in favor of any such proposed Change-of-Control Event; (ii) otherwise consent on such Remaining Shareholder’s behalf to such proposed Change-of-Control Event; (iii) sell all of such Remaining Shareholder’s Shares in such proposed Change-of-Control Event, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 9.1; and/or (iv) act as the Remaining Shareholder’s attorney-in-fact in relation to any such proposed Change-of-Control Event and have the full authority to sign and deliver, on behalf of such Remaining Shareholder, shareholders unanimous written resolutions referenced to in (i) above or a form of irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest in substitution for the proxy constituted by this Agreement, share transfer forms, share sale or exchange agreements and certificates of indemnity relating to any Shares in the event that such Remaining Shareholder has lost or misplaced the relevant share certificate. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.1, the Remaining Shareholders shall not be obligated to vote, consent and/or sell their Equity Securities in connection with any such proposed Change-of-Control Event to the extent that (i) the Accepting Shareholders do not also do so with respect to all of the applicable classes or series of Equity Securities held by them, or (ii) such proposed Change-of-Control Event provides for or implies a sale price of Ordinary Shares of less than $8.00 per share on an as-if-converted basis.

9.2 Termination of Drag Along Rights. The drag along rights in this Section 9 shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the closing of a Qualified IPO, or (ii) a Liquidation Event.

10.3 Termination of Information and Inspection Rights. The rights and covenants set forth in Sections 10.1 and 10.2 shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier occurrence of (i) the closing of a Qualified IPO or (ii) a Liquidation Event.

10.4 Governmental/Securities Filings. For three (3) years after the time when the Company becomes subject to the filing requirements of the Exchange Act or any other organized securities exchange, as long as an Investor holds any Equity Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Investor copies of, or provide a link on its public website to, any quarterly, annual, extraordinary, or other reports publicly filed by the Company with the Commission or any other relevant securities exchange, regulatory authority or government agency, and any annual reports and other materials provided to all other shareholders of the Company.

10.5 United States Tax Matters.

(i) The Company will not take any action inconsistent with the treatment of the Company as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and will not elect to be treated as an entity other than a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

(ii) The Company will use, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to use, reasonable best efforts to avoid classification as a passive foreign investment company

(“PFIC”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for the current year or any subsequent year.

(iii) The Company shall promptly provide each U.S. Holder with written notice if it (or any of the other members of the Company Group) becomes a PFIC or a “controlled foreign corporation” (“CFC”) as defined under the Code. Such notice shall include a reasonably detailed analysis of the determination that the Company (or any of the other members of the Company Group) has become a PFIC or CFC.

(iv) The Company shall make due inquiry with its tax advisors on at least an annual basis regarding its status as a PFIC (and the status of each of the other Group Companies), and if the Company is informed by its tax advisors that any such entity has become a PFIC, or that there is a likelihood of any such entity being classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, the Company shall promptly notify each U.S. Holder of such status or risk, as the case may be. The Company agrees to make available to each U.S. Holder upon request, the books and records of the Company and the other Group Companies, and to provide information to each U.S. Holder pertinent to the Company’s (or any of the other Group Companies’) status or potential status as a PFIC. Upon a determination by the Company, any U.S. Holder or any taxing authority that the Company (or any of the other Group Companies) has been or is likely to become a PFIC, the Company will provide each U.S. Holder with all information reasonably available to the Company to permit such U.S. Holder to (a) accurately prepare all tax returns and comply with any reporting requirements as a result of such determination and (b) make any election (including, without limitation, a “qualified electing fund” election under Section 1295 of the Code), with respect to the Company (or any of the other Group Companies), and comply with any reporting or other requirements incident to such election. If a determination is made by the Company, any U.S. Holder or any taxing authority that the Company or any other Group Company is a PFIC for a particular year, then for such year and for each year thereafter, the Company will also provide each U.S. Holder with a completed “PFIC Annual Information Statement” in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto as required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.1295-1(g) and otherwise comply with applicable Treasury Regulation requirements. In the event that any U.S. Holder who has made a “qualified electing fund” election must include in its gross income for a particular taxable year its pro rata share of the Company’s earnings and profits pursuant to Section 1293 of the Code, the Company agrees to make a dividend distribution to such U.S. Holder (no later than ninety (90) days following the end of the taxable year of such U.S. Holder) in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount so included by such U.S. Holder.

(v) The Company shall provide each U.S. Holder with information relating to the transfer of any equity interests of the Company and the issuance or redemption by the Company of any equity interests. No later than two (2) months following the end of the Company’s taxable year, the Company shall provide the following information to each U.S. Holder: (a) the Company’s capitalization table as of the end of the last day of such taxable year and (b) a report regarding the Company’s status as a CFC, if any. The Company shall: (x) furnish to each U.S. Holder upon its reasonable request, on a timely basis, all information necessary to satisfy the U.S. income tax return filing requirements of such U.S. Holder (and each “United States shareholder” of the Company as defined by Section 951(b) of the Code that owns a direct or indirect interest in such U.S. Holder (a “U.S. Shareholder”)) arising from its investment in the Company and relating to the Company or any other Group Company’s classification as a CFC; and (y) use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid generating for any taxable year in which the Company or any other Group Company is a CFC, amounts

includible in the income of any U.S. Holder or U.S. Shareholder pursuant to Section 951 of the Code (a “Section 951 Inclusion”). If the Company or the relevant Group Company ceases to be a CFC at any time, the Company will provide prompt written notice to each U.S. Holder if at any time thereafter the Company becomes aware that it or any member of the Company Group has become a CFC. Upon written request of a U.S. Holder from time to time, subject to obtaining the consent of its shareholders to release such information, the Company will promptly provide in writing such information in its possession concerning its shareholders and, to the Company’s actual knowledge, the direct and indirect interest holders in each shareholder sufficient for such U.S. Holder to determine whether the Company is a CFC. If any U.S. Holder or U.S. Shareholder has a Section 951 Inclusion for any taxable year (such U.S. Holder or U.S. Shareholder, a “Taxable CFC Shareholder”), the Company shall distribute cash pro rata with respect to each Ordinary Share so that the aggregate amount distributed to each Taxable CFC Shareholder equals fifty percent (50%) of the Section 951 Inclusion of such Taxable CFC Shareholder for such taxable year.

(vi) The Company will comply and will cause each of the other Group Companies to comply with all record-keeping, reporting, and other requests necessary for the Company and the other Group Companies to allow each U.S. Holder to comply with any applicable U.S. federal income tax Law.

(vii) The cost incurred by the Company in providing the information that it is required to provide, or is required to cause to be provided, and the cost incurred by the Company in taking the action, or causing the action to be taken, as described in this Section 10 shall be borne by the Company.

(i) The Company represents and warrants to the Investors that the Company is not a “resident enterprise” of China, as defined by Article 2 of the People’s Republic of China Enterprise Income Tax Law (“PRC Resident Enterprise”), that the Company will use its best effort to arrange its management activities in such a way as to avoid being a PRC Resident Enterprise in each taxable year during the period in which the Investors or their successors or assigns hold shares in the Company, and that neither the Company nor its shareholders are subject to any Tax in the Cayman Islands. The Company further represents and warrants to the Investors that any and all dividends to be paid to the Investors shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any Taxes.

(ii) The Company agrees that, in the event the Company shall deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any dividends payable to any of the Investors, (a) the dividends payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this paragraph (ii)), each of the Investors receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Company shall make such deductions, (c) the Company shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (d) as promptly as practicable after the date of such payment, the Company shall furnish to the relevant Investors the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(a) In the event of two or more arbitrations having been commenced arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents, the tribunal in the arbitration first filed (the “Principal Tribunal”) may in its sole discretion, upon the application of any party to the arbitrations, order that the proceedings be consolidated before the Principal Tribunal if (1) there are issues of fact and/or law common to the arbitrations, (2) the interests of justice and efficiency would be served by such a consolidation, and (3) no prejudice would be caused to any party in any material respect as a result of such consolidation, whether through undue delay or otherwise. Such application shall be made as soon as practicable and the party making such application shall give notice to the other parties to the arbitrations.

(b) The Principal Tribunal shall be empowered to (but shall not be obliged to) order at its discretion, after inviting written (and where desired by the Principal Tribunal oral) representations from the parties that all or any of such arbitrations shall be consolidated or heard together and/or that the arbitrations be heard sequentially and shall establish a procedure accordingly. All parties shall take such steps as are necessary to give effect and force to any orders of the Principal Tribunal.

(c) If the Principal Tribunal makes an order for consolidation, it: (1) shall thereafter, to the exclusion of other arbitral tribunals, have jurisdiction to resolve all disputes forming part of the consolidation order; (2) shall order that notice of the consolidation order and its effect be given immediately to any arbitrators already appointed in relation to the disputes consolidated under the consolidation order; and (3) may also give such directions as it considers appropriate (i) to give effect to the consolidation and make provision for any costs which may result from it (including costs in any arbitration rendered functus officio under Section 15.2); and (ii) to ensure the proper organization of the arbitration proceedings and that all the issues between the parties are properly formulated and resolved.

(d) Upon the making of the consolidation order, any appointment of arbitrators relating to arbitrations that have been consolidated by the Principal Tribunal (except for the appointment of the arbitrators of the Principal Tribunal itself) shall for all purposes cease to have effect and such arbitrators are deemed

to be functus officio, on and from the date of the consolidation order. Such cessation is without prejudice to (1) the validity of any acts done or orders made by such arbitrators before termination, (2) such arbitrators’ entitlement to be paid their proper fees and disbursements and (3) the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation period or any like rule or provision.

(e) The Parties hereby waive any objections they may have as to the validity and/or enforcement of any arbitral awards made by the Principal Tribunal following the consolidation of disputes or arbitral proceedings in accordance with this Section 15.2 where such objections are based solely on the fact that consolidation of the same has occurred.

(ix) During the course of the arbitration tribunal’s adjudication of the dispute, this Agreement shall continue to be performed except with respect to the part in dispute and under adjudication.

(x) The award of the arbitration tribunal shall be final and binding upon the parties, and the prevailing party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for enforcement of such award.

15.3 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Facsimile and e-mailed copies of signatures shall be deemed to be originals for purposes of the effectiveness of this Agreement.

15.7 Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular

instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of each of (i) the Company, (ii) holders holding at least a majority of the then outstanding Ordinary Shares, (iii) holders holding at least two thirds (2/3) of the then outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares (voting as a single class), and (iv) the Series A and Series B Lead Investor; provided, that if any amendment or waiver would have a material and adverse impact on any individual shareholder of the Company (as compared to the other shareholders of the Company) or any class of Equity Securities of the Company (as compared to any other class of Equity Securities of the Company), then such amendment or waiver shall require the written consent of such individual shareholder or of at least two thirds (2/3) of the aggregate voting power of such class of Equity Securities, as the case may be. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this paragraph shall be binding upon each of the Parties hereto. The Original Shareholders Agreement has been amended in accordance with Section 15.7 of the Original Shareholders Agreement; and the Original Shareholders Agreement is hereby amended and restated and this Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement replaces the Original Shareholders Agreement. The Parties agree, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any amendment of the terms of the Series A Preferred Shares and/or the Series B Preferred Shares shall not require the consent or agreement of the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares unless such amendment will adversely affect the existing rights and obligations of the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares.

15.8 Additional Investors. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Company issues additional shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares or Series C Preferred Shares after the date hereof, whether pursuant to the Series A Share Purchase Agreement, Series B Share Purchase Agreement, Series C Share Purchase Agreement or otherwise, any purchaser of such shares of Preferred Shares shall become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering an additional counterpart signature page to this Agreement as a Series A Investor, Series B Investor or Series C Investor, and thereafter shall be deemed a Series A Investor, Series B Investor or Series C Investor for all purposes hereunder.

15.9 Warrant Holders. If any Warrant Holder exercises its rights under relevant warrants and consequently acquires any Ordinary Shares of the Company after the date hereof, such Warrant Holder shall remain a party to this Agreement and be deemed an “Ordinary Shareholder” for all purposes hereunder immediately upon the issuance of any Ordinary Shares to such Warrant Holder.

15.10 Severability. If a provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable Laws, such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.

The exercise or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy will neither constitute the exclusive election thereof nor the waiver of any other right, power or remedy available to such party.

15.13 No Waiver. Failure to insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof will not be deemed a waiver of such term, covenant, or condition, nor will any waiver or relinquishment of, or failure to insist upon strict compliance with, any right, power or remedy hereunder at any one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right, power or remedy at any other time or times.

15.14 No Presumption. The parties acknowledge that any applicable Law that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the party that drafted it has no application and is expressly waived.

15.15 No Conflict with Memorandum and Articles. In the event that the provisions of this Agreement conflict with any provision of the Memorandum and Articles, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and each of the Parties shall do all things and shall take all actions (including voting shares and procuring directors to vote) as may reasonably be necessary to amend the Memorandum and Articles in such manner as the Company and the Series A and Series B Lead Investor are advised by Cayman Islands counsel will remove such conflict and give effect to the provisions of this Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by law.

15.16 Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

After the execution and delivery of this Agreement,

to the extent that there is any conflict between this Agreement and any provision of any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Company and any holder of equity securities of the Company, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.
