All of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares or other equity or ownership interests of each subsidiary have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable. The Company does not own or control, directly or indirectly, any public limited company, corporation, association or other entity other than (i) the Subsidiaries listed in Exhibit 8.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and (ii) such other entities omitted from Exhibit 8.1 which, when such omitted entities are considered in the aggregate as a single subsidiary, would not constitute a “significant subsidiary” within the meaning of Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X.

The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to perform its obligations under this Agreement, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to issue the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the issuance of the Securities) have been duly authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its shareholders is required. This Agreement has been duly executed by the Company and assuming due authorization, execution, and delivery of this Agreement by each other party hereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by state or federal securities laws or public policy underlying such laws.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
6.1 As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 10 days after the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), the Company shall file a registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities with the SEC for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form F-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form F-3 in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form for such purpose) and shall contain (except if otherwise required pursuant to written comments received from the SEC upon a review of such Registration Statement) a “Plan of Distribution” substantially in the form agreed by the parties to this Agreement (the “Initial Registration Statement”). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable but, in any event, no later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Initial Registration Statement (or a Subsequent Form F-3, as defined below) continuously effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) such time as all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Initial Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) the date when all Registrable Securities covered by the Initial Registration Statement cease to be Registrable Securities as determined by the counsel to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall only be required to initially register the number of Registrable Securities the SEC allows to be registered on the Initial Registration Statement. For purposes of clarification, any failure by the Company to file the Initial Registration Statement by the Filing Date or to effect such Registration Statement within the Initial Effectiveness Deadline shall not otherwise relieve the Company of its obligations to file or effect the Initial Registration Statement as set forth above in this Section 6.1. In the event the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the SEC and/or (iii) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the SEC, on Form F-3 or, if the Company is ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form F-3, such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities. In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (ii) or (iii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC, one or more registration statements on Form F-3 or, if the Company is ineligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form F-3, such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement (the “Remainder Registration Statements”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and subject to the payment of damages in Section 6.3, if the SEC limits the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Company used commercially diligent efforts to advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), any required cutback of Registrable Securities shall be applied to the Purchasers pro rata in accordance with the number of such Registrable Securities sought to be included in such Registration Statement by reference to the amount of Registrable Securities set forth opposite such Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A (and in the case of a subsequent transfer, the initial Purchaser’s transferee) relative to the aggregate amount of all Registrable Securities.
6.2 All reasonable Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification, exemption or compliance pursuant to Section 6.1 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses relating to the sale of securities registered by or on behalf of Holders shall be borne by such Holders pro rata on the basis of the number of securities so registered.

WEST\240753191.10
6.3 The Company further agrees that, in the event that (i) the Initial Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC within the Filing Date, (ii) the Initial Registration Statement or the New Registration Statement, as applicable, has not been declared effective by the SEC within the Initial Effectiveness Deadline or (iii) after such Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, is suspended by the Company or ceases to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective, other than, in each case, within the time period(s) permitted by Section 6.7(b) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), (a “Registration Default”)), for all or part of any thirty-day period (a “Penalty Period”) during which the Registration Default remains uncured (which initial thirty-day period shall commence on the fifth Business Day after the date of such Registration Default if such Registration Default has not been cured by such date), the Company shall pay to each Purchaser 1.5% of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price of his or her Securities for each Penalty Period during which the Registration Default remains uncured; provided, however, that if a Purchaser fails to provide the Company with any information that is required to be provided in such Registration Statement with respect to such Purchaser as set forth herein, then the commencement of the Penalty Period described above shall be extended until two Business Days following the date of receipt by the Company of such required information; and provided, further, that in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement more than 1.5% of such Purchaser’s Purchase Price of his or her securities in any Penalty Period and in no event shall the Company be required hereunder to pay to any Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement an aggregate amount that exceeds 10.0% of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser for such Purchaser’s Securities. The Company shall deliver said cash payment to the Purchaser by the fifth Business Day after the end of such Penalty Period. If the Company fails to pay said cash payment to the Purchasers in full by the fifth Business Day after the end of such Penalty Period, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 12% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Purchasers, accruing daily from the date such liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event a Registration Default occurs pursuant to clause (iii) hereof, the 1.5% of liquidated damages referred to above for any Penalty Period shall be reduced to equal the percentage determined by multiplying 1.5% by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement that is suspended by the Company or ceases to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities for which it is required to be effective which are still Registrable Securities at such time and for which there is not otherwise an effective Registration Statement at such time and the denominator of which shall be the number of Registrable Securities at such time.
6.4 In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall, upon reasonable request, inform each Holder as to the status of such registration. At its expense the Company shall:
(a) except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of the prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep such registration continuously effective with respect to a Holder, and to keep the applicable Registration Statement free of any material misstatements or omissions, until the date all Shares held by such Holder may be sold under Rule 144 without being subject to any volume, manner of sale or publicly available information requirements. The period of time during which the Company is required hereunder to keep a Registration Statement effective is referred to herein as the “Registration Period.”
(b) advise the Holders within five Business Days:
(i) when a 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 any 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 any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose;
16
WEST\240753191.10
(iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(v) of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading;
(c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable;
(d) if a Holder so requests in writing, promptly furnish to each such Holder without charge at least one copy of each Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto, including financial statements and schedules (excluding those previously furnished or incorporated by reference), except if such documents are available on XXXXX;
(e) during the Registration Period, promptly deliver to each such Holder, without charge, an electronic copy of each prospectus included in a Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request in writing, except if such documents are available on XXXXX; and the Company consents to the use, consistent with the provisions hereof, of the prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Holders of Registrable Securities in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by a prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
(f) during the Registration Period, if a Holder so requests in writing, deliver to each Holder, without charge, (i) one electronic copy of the following documents, other than those documents available via XXXXX: (A) its annual report to its shareholders, if any (which annual report shall contain financial statements audited in accordance with U.S. GAAP in the United States of America by a firm of certified public accountants of recognized standing) and (B) if not included in substance in its annual report to shareholders, its annual report on Form 20-F (or similar form);
(g) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement, promptly take such commercially reasonable actions to register for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such United States jurisdictions as any such Holders reasonably request in writing, provided that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction, and do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by any such Registration Statement. For the avoidance of doubt, if, at any time during the Registration Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company determines to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, as described in Section 6.10 herein, the Company shall not include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities.
(h) upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 6.4(b)(v) above, except for such times as the Company is permitted hereunder to suspend the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable 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 purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
17
WEST\240753191.10
(i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC which could affect the sale of the Registrable Securities;
(j) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which equity securities issued by the Company have been listed;
(k) use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby and to enable the Holders to sell Registrable Securities under Rule 144;
(l) provide to each Purchaser and its representatives, if requested, the opportunity to conduct a reasonable inquiry of the Company’s financial and other records during normal business hours and make available its officers, directors and employees for questions regarding information which such Purchaser may reasonably request in order to fulfill any due diligence obligation on its part; and
(m) permit a single counsel for the Purchasers to review any Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto within two Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the SEC;
provided that, in the case of clauses (l) and (m) above, the Company shall not be required (A) to delay the filing of any Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto as a result of any ongoing diligence inquiry by or on behalf of a Holder or to incorporate any comments to any Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto by or on behalf of a Holder if such inquiry or comments would require a delay in the filing of such Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, as the case may be, or (B) to provide, and shall not provide, any Purchaser or its representatives with material, non-public information unless such Purchaser agrees to receive such information and enters into a written confidentiality agreement with the Company in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.
6.5 The Holders shall have no right to take any action to restrain, enjoin or otherwise delay any registration pursuant to Section 6.1 hereof as a result of any controversy that may arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement.
6.6 (a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify each Holder and each Person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which any registration that has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or action in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.6(c) below), arising out of or based on: (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereof, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, or (ii) any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated by the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration and will reimburse each Holder and each Person controlling such Holder, for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that (x) any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder for use in preparation of any Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement, or (y) the use by a Purchaser of an outdated or defective prospectus after the Company has notified such Purchaser in writing that the prospectus is outdated or defective; provided further, that the Company will not be liable in any such case where the claim, loss, damage or liability arises out of or is related to the failure of such Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement respecting sales of Registrable Securities, and except that the foregoing indemnity agreement is subject to the condition that, insofar as it relates to any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any preliminary prospectus but eliminated or remedied in the amended prospectus on file with the SEC at the time any Registration Statement becomes effective or in an amended prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) which meets the
18
WEST\240753191.10
requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act (each, a “Final Prospectus”), such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any such Holder or any such controlling Person, if a copy of a Final Prospectus furnished by the Company to the Holder for delivery was not furnished to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, liability, claim or damage. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.6(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).
(b) Each Holder will severally, and not jointly, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), including any of the foregoing incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.6(c) below), arising out of or based on any: (i) untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereof, incident to any such registration, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Holder for use in preparation of any Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; or (ii) any violation by a Holder of any rule or regulation promulgated by the Securities Act applicable to such Holder and relating to any action or inaction required of such Holder in connection with any such registration, and will reimburse the Company, such directors and officers, and each Person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action as incurred; provided that the indemnity shall not apply to the extent that such claim, loss, damage or liability results from the fact that a current copy of a prospectus was not made available to the Person asserting the loss, liability, claim or damage at or prior to the time such furnishing is required by the Securities Act and a Final Prospectus would have cured the defect giving rise to such loss, claim, damage or liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder’s aggregate liability pursuant to this subsection (b) and subsection (d) shall be limited to the net amount received by the Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities.
(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation, and provided further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not assume the defense for matters as to which there is a conflict of interest or there are separate and different defenses. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party, in its defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 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 therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, shall, to the exetent permitted by applicable law, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or
19
WEST\240753191.10
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 which 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 a court of law 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.
6.7 (a) Each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to a prospectus relating to Registrable Securities so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, each Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1 until its receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus from the Company and, if so directed by the Company, each Holder shall deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.
(b) Each Holder shall suspend, upon request of the Company, any disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement and prospectus contemplated by Section 6.1 not to exceed an aggregate of 45 days in any 90-day period, and not to exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any 360-day period (each such period, a “Suspension Period”) to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that the sale of Registrable Securities under any such Registration Statement would be reasonably likely to cause a violation of the Securities Act or Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the disclosure relates to a previously undisclosed proposed or pending material business transaction, the disclosure of which would impede the Company’s ability to consummate such transaction, the period during which the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is suspended shall not be included in the calculation of any Suspension Period.
(c) Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex A or in a form mutually agreeable to the parties (a “Selling Holder Questionnaire”). The Company shall not be required to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement and shall not be required to pay any additional penalty payment amounts under Section 6.3 or other damages to any Holder who fails to furnish to the Company a fully completed Selling Holder Questionnaire at least ten Business Days prior to the applicable Filing Deadline.
(d) Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 6.7(b), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph.
(e) Notwithstanding Section 6.1, with respect to Registrable Securities not already covered by a Registration Statement, the Company shall not be obligated to file: (i) more than one pre-effective amendment or supplement to a Registration Statement for all Holders during any fiscal quarter; and (ii) more than one post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement for all Holders during any semi-annual period, and provided further, in all such cases involving supplements or amendments (whether pre-effective or post-effective), the Company shall only be obligated to make a filing when the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities to be included in such amendment or supplement is more than $10 million.
20
WEST\240753191.10
(f) Each Holder hereby covenants with the Company (i) not to make any sale of the Registrable Securities without effectively causing the prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act to be satisfied, and (ii) if such Registrable Securities are to be sold by any method or in any transaction other than on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market, in privately negotiated transactions, or in a combination of such methods, to notify the Company at least five Business Days prior to the date on which the Holder first offers to sell any such Registrable Securities.
(g) At the end of the Registration Period the Holders shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to any Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered by any such Registration Statement which remain unsold, and such Holders shall notify the Company of the number of shares registered which remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice from the Company.
6.8 With a view to making available to the Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which at any time permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, so long as the Holders still own Registrable Securities, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to:
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times;
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under Rule 144(c) of the Exchange Act; and
(c) so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Holder, upon any reasonable request, a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act and such other reports and documents of the Company as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing a Holder to sell any such securities without registration.
6.9 The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company under Section 6.1 may be assigned by a Holder in connection with a transfer by such Holder of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities, provided, however, that such transfer must be made at least ten days prior to the Filing Date and that (i) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, (ii) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company at least ten days prior to the Filing Date and (iii) such transferee agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and such transfer is otherwise in compliance with this Agreement. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 6.9, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited.
6.10 Prior to the time that Registration Statement(s) covering the resale of all Registrable Securities have been declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall not file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities other than a registration statement required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement, a registration statement on Form F-3 (or similar form) and all amendments and supplements thereto, covering the resale of the MIG Shares, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or similar form) or, in connection with an acquisition, a registration statement on Form S-4 (or similar form); provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions in this Section 6.10 shall terminate upon such time as all of the Registrable Securities (i) have been publicly sold by the Holders or (ii) may be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-day period.
6.11 The rights of any Holder under any provision of this Article 6 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended by an instrument in writing signed by such Holder.

Schedule 2.3 – Capitalization
On November 14, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Mobile Interactive Group Limited (“MIG”), by acquiring all of the outstanding shares of MIG such that MIG became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary following the acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, the Company agreed to pay (i) deferred consideration and (ii) contingent consideration based upon MIG achieving certain EBITDA targets during the period. In August 2012, the Company reached an agreement with MIG to set the amount of the contingent consideration at $26.0 million, payable $14.5 million in cash and $11.5 million in the Company’s ordinary shares. The Company will also pay $2.5 million in deferred consideration, payable in the Company’s ordinary shares. The Company expects to pay in April 2013.
On January 16, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining equity interests in Ydon Holdings, Ltd.

The Company acquired this interest for an initial cash payment of $8.4 million and up to $20.3 million in contingent consideration.
