1.3 Demand Registration
(a) Request by Initiating Holders
If the Company shall at any time after the Initial Offering receive a written request from the Holders of at least fifteen percent (15%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding (the “Initiating Holders”) that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1.3, then the Company shall, within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such written request, give written notice of such request (“Request Notice”) to all Holders, and use its best efforts to effect, as soon as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Holders request to be registered and included in such registration by written notice given by such Holders to the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Request Notice, subject only to the limitations of this Section 1.3; provided that the Registrable Securities requested by all Holders to be registered pursuant to such request must be at least fifteen percent (15%) of all Registrable Securities then outstanding; and provided further, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration if the Company has, within the ninety (90) day period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act pursuant to this Section 1.3 or Section 1.5 or in which the Holders had an opportunity to participate pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.4, 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 be included in such registration).
(b) Underwriting
If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, then they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant to this Section 1.3 and the Company shall include such information in the Request Notice.
3
In such event, the right of any Holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting (unless otherwise mutually agreed by a majority in interest of the Initiating Holders and such Holder) to the extent provided herein.
All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and reasonably acceptable to the Company (including a market stand-off agreement of up to 180 days if required by such underwriter or underwriters) provided, (i) that all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders, (ii) that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders and (iii) that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, the Registrable Securities of such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representations required by law. The foregoing provision with respect to market stand-off agreement shall only be applicable to Holders if all officers, directors and greater than 1% shareholders of the Company enter into similar agreements.
With respect to a demand registration requested by the Initiating Holders pursuant to Section 1.3(a), if the underwriter(s) advise(s) the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of securities to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the Company shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be registered and underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be reduced as required by the underwriter(s) and allocated among the Holders of Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis according to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be so registered by each Holder requesting registration (including the Initiating Holders); provided, however, that the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such underwriting and registration shall not be reduced unless all other securities that are not Registrable Securities are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration including, without limitation, all shares that are either to be newly issued by the Company or are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company; provided further, that in any event at least thirty percent (30%) of shares of Registrable Securities requested by the Holders to be included in such underwriting and registration shall be so included; provided further, that the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included by Initiating Holders shall not be reduced unless all other Registrable Securities held by Holders other than the Initiating Holders are first entirely excluded from the underwriting and registration. For purposes of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a venture capital fund, partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds, partners, retired partners, members, retired members and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members or retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
4
If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. If securities are so withdrawn from the registration, and if the number of securities to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to Section 1.3(b), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who were so reduced the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number so withdrawn, with such securities to be allocated first among such Holders in proportion to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities reduced pursuant to Section 1.3(b).
(c) Maximum Number of Demand Registrations
The Company shall be obligated to effect only four (4) such registrations pursuant to Section 1.3; provided, that (i) GE and Meditech (to the extent they are Holders of Registrable Securities) shall each be entitled to initiate at least one registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 and (ii) a registration requested pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section 1.3 unless (x) it has been declared effective by the SEC, (y) it has remained effective for the period set forth in Section 1.6(a), and (z) the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other requirement of the SEC prompted by act or omission of Holders of Registrable Securities).
(d) Deferral
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Board, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its shareholders for such registration to become effective or to remain effective as long as such registration would otherwise be required to remain effective because such action (x) would materially interfere with a material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other similar transaction involving the Company, (y) would require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential or (z) would render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act (each, a “Valid Business Reason”), the Company may postpone filing a Registration Statement relating to a demand registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than ninety (90) days, provided, however, that during such 90-day period the Company shall not file a registration statement with respect to the public offering of securities of the Company. The Company shall give written notice of its determination to postpone a Registration Statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone a filing under this Section 1.3 more than once in any twelve (12) month period.
5
(e) Expenses
All expenses incurred in connection with any registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 (but excluding any broker’s commission or underwriters’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders), including without limitation all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printer’s and accounting fees (including the expenses of any special audits or “comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance), fees of the NASD or listing fees, fees and expenses of the Company and the underwriters relating to “road show” investor presentations, including the cost of any airfare for such purpose, fees and expenses payable to any depositary agent, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders participating in such registration (which counsel shall be selected by the Holders holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being registered), shall be borne by the Company.
Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the total number of shares sold in such registration other than for the account of the Company) of all discounts and commissions or other amounts payable to underwriter(s) or brokers, in connection with such offering by the Holders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 1.3 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered, unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding agree that such registration constitutes the use by the Holders of one (1) demand registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 (in which case such registration shall also constitute the use by all Holders of Registrable Securities of one (1) such demand registration); provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and such registration shall not constitute the use of a demand registration pursuant to this Section 1.3.
1.4 Piggyback Registrations
(a) The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least twenty (20) days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating solely to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization or the Company’s Initial Offering) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall within ten (10) days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. 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.
6
(b) Underwriting
If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 1.4 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities.
In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting (including a market stand-off agreement of up to 180 days if required by such underwriter or underwriters) provided, (i) that all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders, (ii) that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement shall be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders and (iii) that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements with the Company or the underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, the Registrable Securities of such Holder and such Holder’s intended method of distribution and any other representations required by law. The foregoing provision with respect to market stand-off agreement shall only be applicable to Holders if all officers, directors and greater than 1% shareholders of the Company enter into similar agreements.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter(s) determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten (including Registrable Securities), then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, and second, to each of the Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities requested to be sold by each such Holder; provided, however, that the right of the underwriter(s) to exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that (i) in any event the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below thirty percent (30%) of the aggregate number of Registrable Securities for which inclusion has been requested; and (ii) all shares that are not Registrable Securities and are held by any other person, including, without limitation, any person who is an employee, officer or director of the Company (or any direct or indirect subsidiary of the Company) shall first be excluded from such registration and underwriting before any Registrable Securities are so excluded. For purposes of the preceding sentence concerning apportionment, for any selling shareholder that is a Holder of Registrable Securities and that is a venture capital fund, partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the affiliated venture capital funds, partners, retired partners, members, retired members and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members or retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “Holder,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities owned by all such related entities and individuals.
7
If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter(s), delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. If securities are so withdrawn from the registration, and if the number of securities to be included in such registration was previously reduced as a result of marketing factors pursuant to Section 1.4(b), then the Company shall offer to all Holders who were so reduced the right to include additional Registrable Securities in the registration in an aggregate amount equal to the number so withdrawn, with such securities to be allocated first among such Holders in proportion to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities reduced pursuant to Section 1.4(b).
(c) Expenses
All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1.4 (excluding underwriters’ and brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders), including, without limitation all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees (including the expenses of any special audits or “comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance), fees of the NASD or listing fees, fees and expenses of the Company and the underwriters relating to “road show” investor presentations, including the cost of any airfare for such purpose, fees and expenses payable to any depositary agent, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders (which counsel shall be selected by the Holders holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being registered), shall be borne by the Company.
(d) Not Demand Registration
Registration pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 1.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 1.4.
1.5 Form S-3 or Form F-3 Registration
In case the Company shall at any time after the first anniversary of the Initial Offering Effectiveness Date receive from any Holder of Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 or Form F-3 (or an equivalent registration in a jurisdiction outside of the United States) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:
(a) Notice
Within 20 days of the receipt of such written request, give written notice of the proposed registration and the Holder’s or Holders’ request therefor, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders of Registrable Securities; and
8

As soon as practicable, effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Holders or Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides the notice contemplated by Section 1.5(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to this Section 1.5:
(i) if Form S-3 or Form F-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders;
(ii) if the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than US$5,000,000;
(iii) If the Board has a Valid Business Reason, the Company may postpone filing a Registration Statement relating to a F-3 Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists, but in no event for more than ninety (90) days, provided, however, that during such 90-day period the Company shall not file a registration statement with respect to the public offering of securities of the Company. The Company shall give written notice of its determination to postpone a Registration Statement and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone a filing due to a Valid Business Reason more than once in any twelve (12) month period;
(iv) if the Company has, within the ninety (90) day period preceding the date of such request, already effected a registration under the Securities Act other than a registration from which the Registrable Securities of Holders have been excluded (with respect to all or any portion of the Registrable Securities the Holders requested be included in such registration); or
(v) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance.
(c) Expenses
The Company shall pay all expenses incurred in connection with each registration requested pursuant to this Section 1.5, (excluding underwriters’ or brokers’ discounts and commissions relating to shares sold by the Holders), including without limitation all U.S. federal, “blue sky” and all foreign registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees (including the expenses of any special audits or “comfort” letters required by or incident to such performance and compliance), fees of the NASD or listing fees, fees and expenses of the Company and the underwriters relating to “road show” investor presentations, including the cost of any aircraft chartered for such purpose, fees and expenses payable to any depositary agent, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the Holders (which counsel shall be selected by the Holders holding a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities being registered).
9
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to this Section 1.5 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered; provided, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company not known to the Holders at the time of their request for such registration and have withdrawn their request for registration with reasonable promptness after learning of such material adverse change, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses.
(d) Not Demand Registration
Form S-3 or Form F-3 registrations (or equivalent registrations outside of the United States) shall not be deemed to be demand registrations as described in Section 1.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 1.5.
1.6 Obligations of the Company
Whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under this Agreement the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:
(a) Registration Statement
Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to ninety (90) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in such registration statement has been completed, provided, however, that before filing such registration statement, the Company shall furnish to the counsel of the Holders copies of all documents proposed to be filed and that the Company shall not be required to keep any such registration statement effective for more than ninety (90) days.
(b) Amendments and Supplements
Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement until the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities covered by such registration have been sold and (ii) 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement, provided, however, that before filing any such amendments and supplements (for purposes of this subsection, amendments shall not be deemed to include any filing that the Company is required to make pursuant to the Exchange Act), the Company shall furnish to the counsel of the Holders copies of all documents proposed to be filed.
(c) Prospectuses
Furnish to the Holders such number of copies of the applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits, including those, if any, incorporated by reference), and of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by them that are included in such registration.
10
(d) Blue Sky
Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders, to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Holder, provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) Underwriting
In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.
(f) Notification
Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement:
(i) | when such registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; |
(ii) | of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; |
(iii) | of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose; |
(iv) | of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Ordinary Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and |
(v) | of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in such registration statement or the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made). |
11
(g) Post-Effective Amendments or Supplements.
Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1.6(f)(v) above, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

1.9 Indemnification
In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Sections 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5:
(a) By the Company
To the extent permitted by law; the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, its partners, members, officers, directors, legal counsel, any underwriter (as determined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (each so indemnified party, a “Company Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or other foreign, federal or state law, 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 (collectively a “Violation”):
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto;
(ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the 1934 Act, any foreign, federal or state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or any foreign, federal or state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement;
and the Company will reimburse each such Company Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them, as incurred, in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this sub-section 1.9(a) 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), 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 out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Holder, underwriter or controlling person of such Holder. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any such Company Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Company Indemnified Party.
(b) By Selling Holders
To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Holder selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Holder’s partners, members, directors, officers, legal counsel or any person who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act or the 1934 Act (a “Holder Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Holder Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act, the 1934 Act or other foreign, federal or state law, 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 expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Holder will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by a Holder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this sub-section 1.9(b) 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; and provided further, that the total amounts payable in indemnity by a Holder under this Section 1.9(b) in respect of any Violation shall be limited to the proportion of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense which is equal to the proportion that the net proceeds from the sale of the shares sold by such Holder under such registration statement bears to the total net proceeds from the sale of all securities sold thereunder, but not in any event to exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder in the registered offering out of which such Violation arises.
14
(c) Notice
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.9 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 this Section 1.9, 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 parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to an actual or potential conflict of 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 shall not relieve such indemnifying party of liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.9 unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced as a result thereof.
(d) Defect Eliminated in Final Prospectus
The foregoing indemnity agreements of the Company and Holders are subject to the condition that, insofar as they relate to any Violation made in a preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time the registration statement in question becomes effective or the amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to SEC Rule 424(b) (the “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity agreement shall not inure to the benefit of any person if a copy of the Final Prospectus was timely furnished to the indemnified party and was not furnished to the person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such action is required by the Securities Act.
15
(e) Contribution
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.9 from an indemnifying party is unavailable to an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified parties in connection with the actions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified parties, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. If the allocation provided in this paragraph (e) is not permitted by applicable law, the parties shall contribute based upon the relevant benefits received by the Company from the initial offering of the securities on the one hand and the net proceeds received by the Holders from the sale of securities on the other.
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.9(e) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. 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.
(f) Conflict
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(g) Survival
The obligations of the Company and Holders under this Section 1.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and otherwise.
1.10 | Reports Under the 1934 Act |
With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of Rule 144 and any other rule or regulation of the SEC 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 S-3 or 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 the effective date of the Initial Offering;
16
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the 1934 Act; and
(c) furnish to any Holder, so long as the Holder owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 (at any time after ninety (90) days after the effective date of the first registration statement filed by the Company), the Securities Act and the 1934 Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements), or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form S-3 or 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 such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to avail any Holder of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.
1.11 Termination of the Company’s Obligations
The Company shall have no obligations pursuant to Sections 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 with respect to any Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by a Holder in a registration pursuant to Section 1.3, 1.4 or 1.5 (i) after seven (7) years after the consummation of an Initial Offering, or (ii) as to any Holder, such earlier time after the Initial Offering at which such Holder (A) can sell all shares held by it in compliance with Rule 144(k) or (B) holds one percent (1%) or less of the Company’s outstanding Ordinary Shares and all Registrable Securities held by such Holder (together with any affiliate of the Holder with whom such Holder must aggregate its sales under Rule 144) can be sold, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company in its reasonable judgment, in any three (3)-month period without registration in compliance with Rule 144.
1.12 No Registration Rights to Third Parties
Without the prior written consent of each of the Holders of the Registrable Securities then outstanding, the Company covenants and agrees that it shall not grant, or cause or permit to be created, for the benefit of any person or entity any registration rights of any kind (whether similar to the demand, “piggyback” or Form S-3 or Form F-3 registration rights described in this Article 1, or otherwise) relating to any securities of the Company, which are senior to, or on a parity with, those granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement.
